A bit more digging. The google_user_id field is described a bit more here: https://developers.google.com/authorized-buyers/rtb/cookie-g... From what I can tell it looks like advertisers who already have user IDs c

Disclaimer: I work at Google and did some GDPR verification on some products, but I’m not a lawyer and will try to avoid legal speculation. I worked with the advertising team but not on it; my impression of those folks is that they took leg

Hopefully journals like this will have a huge benefit at helping meta-analysis. As the article describes, mere chance can produce p < 0.5 with enough studies. Without the null hypothesis studies being published/included, meta-analys

A quick search would suggest that ADHD would call this a sign and procrastination can be a side effect in major (clinical) depression, bipolar disorder, monotropism, Aspergers spectrum disorders, and non-categorized issues with shame and lo

I’m grumpy about the aside that some medical conditions cause procrastination yet refusal to list them. They don’t need to diagnose readers to just list common issues for which the DSM lists procrastination. That might encourage more sympat

I would define Google’s troubles or decline in three parts: 1. Outrage over previous sexual misconduct 2. Outrage over Google seeking amoral revenue streams 3. Declination of perks The first one is just the chickens coming to roost. The sec

This was a fine recap; I’m surprised more hasn’t leaked to the press. Google’s culture is shifting for the worse, but I won’t give specifics because that would require leaking.

And notably Apple locks out some companies from the same kind of integrations that 1P apps get. The only use I have for Safari is that it’s the browser most apps open. And Apple won’t release Siri actions for music, putting Spotify at a big

Last I heard (on planet money), the median wage in Venezuela was enough to buy just less than two eggs per day. How much can they spare for investment? https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?stor..

Does any attorney want to speculate whether Google could be forced to accept returns on Nest devices now that they’re materially worse through intentional actions?

Just to be clear: is this confirmed to mean that Alexa will no longer integrate with Nest?

This seems like a brilliant move to help manage their public image. Groups and events seem like much more purpose-driven and thus value-generating interactions with Facebook. I absolutely see why Facebook would want to be seen as the place

There’s plenty of anecdata from the employees. When I first joined Google 9 years ago I was terrified of not being as good to google as google was to me. I bled the google colors. The last time someone asked me what it’s like to work there,

It’s not nearly the amount of an annual bonus, which is typically about 15% base pay. This is the order of a spot bonus (e.g. the director wants to thank you for working double time to make a product launch happen in time for a conference).

Also, this happened many years ago. Wages have soared since this was uncovered. Now (actually 4hrs ago, the last I checked) a college hire’s signing bonus is 2/3 my base salary was 6yrs earlier.

Surely you can turn on option 3 indefinitely for local builds at least. Otherwise Apple kills the ability to develop any software while offline or behind a firewall.

One subtlety is that you had better watch the bad client request rate during deploy. I’ve seen SLOs completely blown and swept under the rug (accidentally) because infra bugs caused “user” errors.
