I didn't know that. Thank you so much.

I don't think ISP cannot see what I'm searching for if Google allows me to use HTTPS. When we use HTTPS, data is encrypted. But URLs I'm querying are still open for anyone. If someone knows that I queried, for example, http://www.google.co.uz/?q=google, it's pretty easy to understand what I've been searching for.

True. But I think in this situation no one except Google will be happy (and I doubt they'll be happy too). Web analytics helps webmasters make their sites more attractive for end users. I use Google Analytics on most of my sites, but I don't like the way how Google tries to "encourage" others to do it.

To be honest, I don't understand how using HTTPS in Google search will help users to browse web more securely. I am not going to use this feature. The bad thing is that lots of non-technical users who care about security and privacy will use it, and they'll get an illusion that their web surfing has become more secure.

What does "bubble lifestyle" mean?
I think you don't need to learn maths to enter into programming. I am a web developer for more than 1.5 years, and I don't need maths at all.
Re: My Favorite Bug on Saturday February 28, 2009 @08:58AM (#498202)
For me, there are two types of bugs: bugs that can teach you something and random bugs. I love the first type - these are bugs that make me read and learn something.
Re:jQuery Chart Plugins For Your App on Saturday February 28, 2009 @08:55AM (#498201)
I think using Google Chart API is much better than using these plugins. Lots of chart types, easy to make, gives high-quality result, and support all browsers that can display images.
Re:Why is enterprise software so bad? on Friday February 27, 2009 @08:33AM (#497186)
1. Development process is led by managers, not developers. 2. Developers frequently work under time / budget pressure. 3. Money is the only stimulus, so the developers try to make software good enough to get paid. 4. Big companies try to make something big.
Re:The Economics of Time and Effort and OpenSource on Friday February 27, 2009 @07:56AM (#497160)
When we talk about software development, it's easy to spread the value created by the community to all people. What about other spheres of economy (agriculture, for example), it's much more difficult.
Re:Hacking the planet: The only climate solution left? on Friday February 27, 2009 @07:30AM (#497148)
The nature was forming for millions of years, and I don't think humans are smart enough to hack it, sometimes we are not able to hack computers that we have invented. This climate change is because of attempts to hack the planet. I am not against the progress, but when we interfere in the nature, we should think more than twice.

Succes is 99 % of fail and 1% of your efforts.
Re:Aurora: Class types and invariants in JavaScript on Friday February 27, 2009 @05:42AM (#497093)
I think it would be better to take advantage of JavaScript's flexibility instead of trying to make Java on steroids of this language. People began to use dynamic types to speed up development and make it more flexible. But I agree that sometimes we have to check variable types in JS, so this library can help. But for me these cases are rare.
Re:Why the Japanese Hate the iPhone on Friday February 27, 2009 @05:34AM (#497090)
The question is: should we adapt technology according to national characteristics, Technology seems to make cultural borders disappear, but sometimes these borders are very strong.
Of course, every system of education does not encourage characteristics of good enterpreneurs - independence and thinking differently. They are crerated to produce good workers - those people who will work for enterpreneurs. And I don't think this atricle encourages people to drop out of college - those who have bravity to do this will do it anyway, and others will finish grad school.
Re:Ask HN: easy resources for learning Python? on Thursday February 26, 2009 @07:27AM (#495786)
I think Python documentation is a great resource for learning it.
