I’m not sure how you have any kind of collective bargaining when the talent pool represents hundreds of millions of potential workers. Many of those are people who will spend 12 hours a day working and commuting to earn a few hundred dollar

Based on what I’ve seen over the years, I always had this guess that odesk/upwork was outsourcing their customer service through their own platform. That sort of thing can explain really bizarre behavior and responses which make more s

If enough expected messages don’t show up, users are going to start thinking gmail is broken. The problem for Google is that they are not the only trusted brand consumers interact with. I’ve seen a lot of stuff start ending up in spam that

Google Images is a partial example, but this happened a while ago. It appears what they do is use ML to classify what is in the image, and then show images that fit those categories. It is useless now for checking things like, did this logo

Yes, Google will be fine because they have an insanely favorable business model. However, if you can’t get the early adopters to use your products the late adopters never will. Why? Because the tech savvy early adopters are the ones who fig
