"Some passengers have had cleaning fees wrongly applied to them, successfully disputed them, and got refunded." That's the story.

Kinda funny to mention that in the context of San Francisco :) https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x808580a524767fb...

But there's no saying that future versions of stock Android will work on a specific device. Because it's open source, many OEMs just take the OS and don't upstream the drivers they write. And because Linux has no driver ABI,

Yes to the last question.

The government didn't buy it because Microsoft threatened OEMs that dared preinstall Netscape in the Windows computers they wanted to sell, among other things.

Because unlike storage, the energy density of a battery only increases very slowly if at all. So it becomes not a trade in price, but a trade in size.

Yeah, the reason I was taught it was in an experiment design class, because it caused psychological harm to the subjects (not the prisoners) without their consent. Thus being an exemplary case of an ethical failure.

If I recall correctly that's literally how the book starts.

Doesn't mean the neural renderer is any fast at all :)

The counterpoint to that would be that, inside Google, it's all gRPC or Stubby.

My understanding is that was head of line blocking "at the HTTP level": When multiple HTTP/1.1 requests shared a TCP connection, the responses had to come in order, so if the first response was slow, all others were blocked b

gRPC over QUIC has been in use by some Google apps in production for over a year :)

I guess during the time the recording talks, they can listen to another call? So you end up having to hire less people.

Well of course. I was just counterpointing to my parent, that comparing Google employee demographics to the demographics of the area around HQ doesn't really tell us anything.

That decision should be taken by filtering (or just preventing it altogether) in each specific case. With dynamic IPs, it's already a no from the start.

On the other hand, I'd say most of the population surrounding the Google HQ are there because they got employed by Google or another tech company, not the other way around. The pool of candidates for these companies is global (restri

Also each user's "home page" of notifications. When I worked exclusively on open-source projects, it became my daily "task list". It was very efficient to have it all in that UI.

What you say is a recognized problem that the big companies that have their own emoji fonts work to progressively eliminate.

I think one good discriminant is: Would you want to explain it candidly? E.g.: "Starting next week, we'll try to affect your mood as part of an experiment". Or "the new version of our product purposefully tries to depres

It should also, either specify what they learned, or go full clickbait clarifying that I won't believe number four.

See but that doesn't answer my question: What makes you think that they stopped caring about tablets?

I host interviews for Google. A simpler design that solves a problem is definitely valued better than an unnecessarily-complicated one.

I admit that I haven't paid much attention. But the whole revamp of the UI framework into Fragments was precisely to let app developers support both phones and tablets. Why do you say older versions of Android had better support for ta

I've lived for many years in both places and don't remember difference in convenience. Can you detail?

Does any regulator actually give a damn about a self-driving car braking too often?

Human drivers are also charged when they kill people, so (2) doesn't seem to have any weight. And partially-at-fault, on one hand, means there's fault on the driver side too, and on the other hand, is a judge's decision to ma

"Solving general intelligence" isn't comparable to a 10-years deadline at all. But still, which of the few companies that work on this has their engineers expressing that 10-years figure? I can also say that I know stuff from
