Abstract: Technology is described for payment card processing using ephemeral compute. An example system comprises a client application, an ephemeral compute instance, and a payment service. The client application is configured to send a request for transmitting sensitive information associated with a payment card to the ephemeral compute instance. The ephemeral compute instance is triggered to transmit the sensitive information to the payment service in response to receiving the request and is configured to shut down after the transmission of the sensitive information to the payment service. The payment service is configured to authorize a transaction based on the received sensitive information transmitted by the ephemeral compute instance.

Abstract: Messages containing structured entities may be sent between devices in a way that leverages the existing Short Message Service (SMS) protocol. On the message sender's device, the sender may author a message indicating specific entities such as people, places, dates, or times. When the message is to be sent, an SMS representation of the message is sent to the recipient, and a full representation of the message, including the included entities, is sent to a server. If the SMS message is received at a device that is equipped with software that can retrieve and render the rich representation, then the device queries the server to determine whether there is a rich message that corresponds to the SMS message. If such a message exists, then the message is communicated to the recipient's device and is rendered in place of the SMS message.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a first user, a text query comprising a character string of n characters, generating a plurality of suggested queries based on the text query, where each suggested query comprises the character string of the text query and one or more query tokens, and where at least one of the query tokens of each suggested query partially matches the character string of the text query, and sending, to the client system responsive to receiving the nth character of the text query, instructions for displaying one or more suggested queries to the first user, where at least one of the suggested queries is displayed with a preview of one or more search results matching the suggested query.

Abstract: An integrated development environment displays a diagram that indicates relationships between code elements navigated by a user. The diagram provides a visualization of the navigation history of the user to allow the user to understand the code structure and flow of a program. A navigation history engine extracts the navigation history, generates the diagram, and displays the diagram adjacent to code displayed by a code editor.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a first user, a text query inputted by the first user, generating a plurality of structured queries based on the text query, each structured query comprising references to one or more objects associated with the online social network, generating one or more search results corresponding to at least one of the structure queries, and sending, to the client system responsive to receiving the text query, one or more of the structured queries for display, at least one of the structured queries being displayed with a preview of one or more of the search results corresponding to the structured query.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a first user, a text query inputted by the first user, generating a plurality of structured queries based on the text query, each structured query comprising references to one or more objects associated with the online social network, wherein at least one of the structured queries is a sponsored query comprising a reference to an object associated with an advertiser, and sending, to the client system responsive to receiving the text query, one or more suggested structured queries for display to the first user, wherein at least one of the sent structured queries is a sponsored query.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a user, an indication of the user accessing a query field at the client device of the user, generating a plurality of structured queries that each comprise references to one or more objects associated with the online social network, calculating a score for each structured query based on one or more user-engagement factors, and sending, to the client system responsive to the indication of the user accessing the query field, one or more suggested structured queries for display to the user, each suggested structured query having a score greater than a threshold score.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a prior structured query previously selected by a first user of an online social network, where the prior structured query corresponds to a first set of search results and comprises references to one or more objects associated with the online social network, identifying changes to the first set of search results corresponding to the prior structured query, and sending, to a client system of the first user, one or more suggested structured queries for display to the first user, where at least one of the suggested structured queries is a dynamic query comprising at least a portion of the prior structured query and a reference to the identified changes to the first set of search results corresponding to the prior structured query.

Abstract: Organizing data where the data has spatial significance. A method includes, at a user interface, displaying to a user a representation of spatially structured data. User input is received at a computer implemented user interface through one or more hardware user interface devices. The user input is domain agnostic, but has a spatial connotation. Based on pre-existing structured data displayed at the user interface, a domain is determined for the user input. Based on the determined domain, the user input is interpreted into a domain specific response. The domain specific response is consistent with the spatial connotation across a plurality of domains.
