Re: How Search Works
#53> By the way, in the 47 seconds you've been on this page, approximately 1,813,260 searches were performed. Aren't these just some random numbers that they pull out of the air?
It probably just increments by some fixed amount each second, but it seems like a statistic they would have an estimate of.
From the beautified app.min.js:
function a() {
e = e || Q("number_of_seconds");
d = d || Q("searches_count_num");
f = f || Q("searches_count_unit");
var a = ~~ (((new Date).getTime() - h) / 1E3 % 86400),
k = a * b + "";
f.innerHTML = " " + c[Math.ceil(k.length / 3)] || "";
e.innerHTML = a;
d.innerHTML = k.replace(/(\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+(?!\d))/g, "$1,")
}
var b = ~~ (1E11 / 2592E3),

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, actually. And with real evidence other than your skewed opinions. Or you can keep being overly dramatic, your choice.
"And with real evidence" what would qualify as "real" evidence to you? A hidden camera catching Googlers talking about this?
It seems you're making an argument of the form "it's too difficult to collect real evidence. In fact, here's an example of a way to collect real evidence that is ridiculously difficult. Since we cannot collect real evidence, we need not use it to make arguments."
Just because it's difficult doesn't mean you can jump to conclusions based on speculation.

Well, with the certainty you speak of this with, yes. Oh also, I'm being facetious because I work there and I'm interested in this secret pile of evidence you have. All things being fair, I won't deny that you've seen the things you've seen, it's just that you might be attributing them to the wrong places. Hence, the need for actual evidence.

#56Scrolling is really becoming the new thing in UX design. It's an interesting contrast to the 'movie-like' flash animations of a few years ago that required no interaction on behalf of the user.
Scrolling is really becoming the new thing in UX design. Am I the only one who finds it irritating as hell to scroll when it renders slow? I don't think this is the end game. There has to be something better.
It's not only you, I found this irritating as well.

Since forever, Chrome has been doing scroll at less fps than Firefox, where I can read comfortably while scrolling.
Re: How Search Works
#60I keep checking every so often, but searching for "this phrase" or +absolute +requirement is still broken. Even "Verbatim", isn't. If they can't even get simple search right, who would trust them with anything more?
