I'm lost. Can't people build their binaries on a powerful machine instead of an ARM tablet?

It definitely is good for consumers. Similar to Apple maps it might not be better than the Google offering but it'll light up a fire up both companies butts to compete for a better product

I just tried it and so far it's really good. It's still rough around the edges though and feels like someone's side project. I feel existing OSes are simply missing out on creating a wonderful window manager. Something like t

This is absolutely terrible. All these other companies deal with fraud and abuse in a more humane way. Why can't Google do the same. If someone's actually in charge there, they need to really do a big shake up in whatever team dea

In my workflow all I need is a good window manager. The one on MacOS is not good even with extra apps (Rectangle). There is too much degree of freedom in moving a window pixel by pixel. I want it to automatically lay out the windows. The ot

Don't blame the lobbying, blame the fact that lobbying is legal. All industries learn over time that it's an arms race and without spending the money they'll be in a vulnerable position. The real fix is to elect those who wou

I know researchers who worked at Microsoft and moved to Google and ,at least during their time there, they said accessing even aggregated user data for research purposes meant jumping through a lot more hoops at Google but the outside image

The title seems like a click bait. Generally you don't want employees to talk about active legal cases. All companies will learn this the hard way when during the discovery the other team of lawyers bring casual internal conversation b

Lol. Adopt an open protocol built by Nest and then make it exclusive to Apple devices. Very revolutionary indeed

One upside of running errands in the middle of the day is most businesses close when your work hours ends so taking care of random tasks midday is sometimes the only option

This government obsession with Google reeks of partisanship. Perhaps because in one of those leaked internal meetings Sergey Brin said he was offended by Trump's victory. I don't mind progressive regulations to increase competitio

Having too many equally dominant options for computing platforms might sound good at first but in practice it means effectively no software is portable and the whole industry becomes inefficient as a whole with people doing redundant work m

Fair enough. I hope that was indeed the case. I also think that Google lawyer went into legal technicalities with merger doctrine, etc. (which I don't understand) without trying to provide real life analogies (with all their caveats) w

I find it frustrating that, say, Kavanaugh can go ahead and imply that all these 83 notable people in your field are having a knee jerk reaction but the sky isn't falling. Why does he think he has any better understanding than 83 notab

The DOJ lawyer was the worst part. Why was that clown even taking a such a strong side in a technical case like this?

Let's take your proposal further and let's say we have 20 different languages (some even with non English characters), runtimes, compilers, build systems, UI guidelines, etc will uniform distribution across the world. So even if y

I used smart watches (not apple watch) for a week and can't get over recharging them every night and went straight back to my solar G-Shock. Step counting is what my phone does too and I really don't need too much accuracy for tha

I believe lots of regulation plays a part in making these health datasets not interoperable and hard to migrate to some common schema and database

100 times this. I know privacy is a good thing but the amount of FUD over health data privacy is unreasonable. I feel this hysteric reaction to aggregating health related metrics is in fact an impediment to running good scientific experimen

Oh no. Don't you want to be the customer and not the product by paying for a service you use?

This is a definitely an original idea but flying a drone indoors makes me nervous. I might hit an object or knock something over. The drone itself could get stuck somewhere too. It's hard to tell how much is this a toy and how much is

I have had the same experience. VS Code looks like a fine lightweight text editor plus a marketplace of plugins with variable degree of maturity and interoperability whereas IntelliJ is a mature and polished IDE. All IntelliJ lacks is two t

IMO it's still not clear from a single glance. Either no Google logo anywhere near experimental stuff or a super visible uniform "Beta/Experimental" logo as long as a product has no long term commitment. I'd say the

This is an experimental project obviously and has that Area120 tag but I think there should be a uniform experimental logo/icon across all of Google products for any projects which is provided as is with no upfront commitment to long t

You can, you know, pay for the service (be the customer and not the product) and not see any ads

No, YT simply charges a higher subscription fee if you do it through the Apple in app purchase.

This upfront payment from the developer might have the side effect of weeding out all but those who are heavily invested in their iOS app. Ensuring the apps there are not hobby or side projects and are maintained and supported by full-time
