Also think Reddit as it passed FB to be #3 most popular site on the internet.

Not surprised. These type of regulations tend to help the big players a lot and just cause further concentration.

Yes for awhile. They have a virtual state of California they ride in and have more than a billion miles driving. Would be curious on accidents? Wish Waymo would share?

One thing that gets confused is that ads are a business model not a product or service.

Plus YouTube which now serves over 1.7B hours of video a day. But then Google also has others climbing like Google photos. Google has now the most popular smart speakers in addition even though came later. https://www.zdnet.com

Google owns five of the top ten apps used on all smartphones. Not aware of any for MS? Plus Google owns the top 2 web sites. http://www.businessinsider.com/most-used-smartphone-apps-201... The 10 most used smartphone apps

To me the far bigger issue with Apple is them forcing you to agree to them collecting data on people you interact with to use their products in the US. I am fine with me agreeing for my data but should NOT be able to agree to them collectin

" letters to investors are among the most biased pieces of writing in existence. " Maybe true but they are words that are about things which are either true or not true. Has nothing to do where the words were shared. Saying the

I think you will see the "hype" cycle last for a very, very long time. It is a very different thing when the computer can start doing things that only humans could do. Look at all the drama after Google did the Duplex demo. We hav

Totally agree but why on earth down voted? The first generation TPUs used 65536 very simple cores. In the end you have so many transistors you can fit and there are options on how to arrange and use. You might support very complex instructi

Overhyped? There are cars driving around Arizona without safety drivers as I type this. The end result of this advancement to our world is earth shattering. On the high compute cost. There is an aspect of that being true but we have als

One of the more silly articles on HN in a while. Waymo has cars as I type this driving around Arizona without safety drivers. People were freaked out by the Google demo of Duplex a couple of weeks ago as it was just too human sounding. Ca

Curious how is this different than the similar? issue with Amazon route 53 getting hijacked not too long ago?

by jacksmith21006 8y ago
Ultimately we will get self driving trucks and that will solve the problem. The question is not if but when. Waymo has cars driving around Arizona as I type this without safety drivers so maybe not too far off.

Completely disagree. It is NOT simply about the results but looking at the direction and a new approach. Ultimately it also comes down to the power required to get some task done. Also how can a paper submitted to NIPS be hype?

by jacksmith21006 8y ago
Great link. I will be curious to see if the Google, Jeff Dean, approach works in real life situations. What is interesting is you can use the TPUs and parallelize the approach. Ultimately it is about using less power to get some work don

No. Those are things you do by choice. Just do not chose to add the apps. When you put an ad directly in the OS you have gone somewhere new. So Microsoft putting ads directly in Windows to me is crossing a line that should not be cross.

Google WiFi would give you a more secure solution. Google has a hardware token in the Google WiFi locked to the stored image and that is locked to the running image. So things like this hack would be exposed. But then Google keeps them up

Think it is probably based on things like "CITRON EXPOSES UBIQUITI NETWORKS" http://citronresearch.com/citron-exposes-ubiquiti-networks/

Is this not going to hurt the EU businesses that purchased the ads?

Glad now have Google WiFi. Most secure consumer router you can get, imo.

Agree 100%. Targeted ads enable us to have shorter ads also.

by jacksmith21006 8y ago
It is how our system works. I am always curious when I see a post like this and how do you think it should work? In other words how would business work without ads?

I do not think trying to slow down the competition will help the EU. Guess we will see. Think instead less product and services will be offered. If we look at the last 100+ years we can see Europe has fallen and continues to as the other c

by jacksmith21006 8y ago
Which is ridiculous. Ultimately they will have to just not offer products and services in the EU. The EU as others indicated will become a digital waste land.

by jacksmith21006 8y ago
Exactly. The EU makes it impossible to do business they will just not support the EU. Already people in the EU wonder why the US tech companies tend to not bring features or products and services to the EU. Just going to get worse as the

There was one other topic wanted to address with you. I listen to a lot of podcasts and watch a lot of tech videos on YouTube. Plus went to Google I/O last year. I am constantly amazed at the grace of Googlers. That should have be

Do not work at Google. But would be cool if I did. I am actually old and retired. Do not think they hire too many old people like me. But do suspect I will eventually have kids that work there or hopefully. I have 8 kids and a couple v

Wish they were giving away for free. Really wish they would just discount the Max a little. Have one but want a second. Echo was out 2 years longer and Google already passed as they are just a lot smarter and easier to use. It is that G

Google quickly fixed the issue caused by the person putting it in the bathroom and causing the button to stick. The person that it happened to got a pre-release version. Google even went to the persons house on a Friday evening to resolve
