The trick is the ad companies can use anti-trust to get the governments of the world to foot the bill. See the recent issue with the CMA in the UK: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-to-have-key-oversight...

Look, you can go into Chrome today and disable third party cookies via a setting. There may be a way to create an extension that does this change automatically. Almost anyone other than Google can make this change without major legal worr

Really? I've been following along some of the W3c work on privacy and they seem to have about as much political power there as Apple. Part of that seems to be from their first-mover advantage in the privacy space relative to Microsoft

What do you call it when a company makes a change to its product in one market where it has large market share that drives its competitors in another market out if business? Or put another way, do you really think Google could get rid of th

Yes, but their business is search advertising. You can get really good targeting with just 1st party data (what the current user has searched for). That's completely different from display advertising. For most sites on the web there

Better summary: Browser companies try to implement X individually. Browser developers get together and try to standardize a way to do X. Other people come and complain why they aren't doing Y or Z instead. Eventually all the extra peop

How does Google win? Their business is search -- advertising on other sites is more of a side gig for them, and from their own description of their privacy sandbox, even they would not be able to track people across sites. The changes to th

Did you see the video that was linked where they go back through the path they swam after the water cleared out? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zGEmSHP4Idw&list=UUSPfkBf-K2vQ... I'd be too scared to go through there

It looks like they need to tweak their Neural network some. From the video it looks like the reconstruction network is confusing background and walls, which should not happen if they are distinct labels. I suspect they are passing the pseud

You joke, but there are hidden costs to limited competition even if the full effects of the efficiency due to vertical integration and economies of scale is passed to consumers in the form of reduced prices. The efficiency from vertical int

The point of FLOC is that you are only ever part of one. There's no combining the different cohorts that a user is in to be done, because there is only ever one for each user. Now, there is some legitimate discussion on his to handle c

And if they could do it workout gathering that much personal data? Isn't that what FLOC is trying to do?

Interesting that no one mentions that Google also runs the backend flight/hotel search used by most trip planning sites. They bought it (ITA) over a decade ago. So all these providers already lost this power years ago and are just prov

I don't think you can think of it as becoming heavier in the traditional sense, as the higher speed does not increase the force of gravity. There are several (roughly equivalent) ways to describe what happens as you approach the speed

I think there's a factor that people are missing when they try to define these gig workers: marketability -- who directly benefits from the reputation from customers if a worker does a good job? If the worker does a good job does that

Maintaining a stable API surface is a burden. That said, I would agree with such a mandate, as the costs are probably worth it.

They can't without violating (or at least changing) their privacy policy. You and all your friends are welcome to each bring an arbitration case against them if they have been doing it or if they do it without you agreeing to an update

They claim they do not use fingerprinting for user identification for advertising. Some people would say that this is a weaker claim than not using fingerprinting. They have admitted to using those sorts of information for fraud detection t

But Google doesn't know who you are when you're in incognito. They famously "don't do fingerprinting". Of course, if Amazon or Facebook or the Times tell Google or at least hire someone to figure out who you are and

I don't see why the union would necessarily be pitted against the employer in tech. Yes their goals are not perfectly aligned, but that sort of work environment is something that both benefit from so I don't see that disappearing.

Yes, if they're willing to continue letting their organizers be fired afterwards for "unrelated reasons". As-is organizing each walkout has to start from scratch since the previous leadership structure no longer exists. This

I would say it's more culturally motivated than political. Google has accumulated a lot of idealists that have strong opinions about the direction of the company without being promoted to a level where they can actualize these opinions

by IX-103 6y ago
The difference is in the incentives. The union tries to make it's members happy. The employer tries to avoid liability and make a profit. One of those is more aligned with your interests than the other.

It's a successor of the (now-defunct) caffeine app which did mostly the same thing. Given that most other coffee names were already taken, I can understand the logic of why they chose the name. As you said though, it is now considered
