It's not part of Google Cloud (I think?) but I bet the majority of Google Cloud customers have been using Universal Analytics. https://twitter.com/YoungbloodJoe/status/1504107839262011403

Funny you should mention about the forums. There's been a fairly notable Chrome issue intermittently affecting users on MacOS X since late last year and Google seem oblivious to it. https://support.google.com/chrome&#x2

Even if it improves the performance of the company? What's more important, to have things orderly, or performant?

Suppose a company that currently sees $0 from skincare market wants to have 90% marketshare in skincare in short order.

Google used to be this. It was great back then. The "we answer your question" thing could be useful, but: 1. It should be in addition to (not instead of) the web search results. 2. The answers can't be wrong. Google often giv

From what I'd heard, he's the perfect boss; adverse to workplace politics, interested in truth & results above all else.

Depends on the person, doesn't it? If I were at Twitter, I would be excited about this. I would be expecting the work to become more challenging, but also more important.

But not to the point where they are selling kits. They retrofit a specific vehicle for use in their service. I think CommaAI is the closest to a kit, but it probably will never quite reach "no-human-required" autonomous driving; I

Yeah, it probably views them as a big truck or something. In any case, I would be really surprised if regular (non-FSD) Autopilot would be happy with the markings on a Melbourne street that has tram lines.

Melbourne doesn't generally have what Autopilot would consider "normal" roads, though. The incident involved someone getting off a tram, so the road would have looked something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org&#

1. A driver who drove off after an accident claims they were using Autopilot at the time. 2. The road photographed in the article isn't a highway, and so I'm not sure it would be accepted by regular Autopilot. 3. Whilst FSD might

It may not really be all that different between Tesla and Mercedes. The conditions that Mercedes is releasing this under sound like they will give them plenty of room to say "not covered" and need lawyers involved. Similarly, if y

According to the article it seems to be: 1. NHTSA has reiterated that its data came from Tesla, and has not been verified by an independent party (as it noted in a footnote in the report). 2. Second, it says its investigators did not consid

If they go through with this, awesome! I expect that they will walk some of this back before the release, though. (whether through extreme limitations on the situations they will take responsibility for, delaying release, extremely limited

The problem is adversarial. If real estate were more affordable, what of those who have invested in it?

I think it's understandable that big platforms face problems of scale with moderating ads & content, but one thing I've noticed is that Meta are extremely sensitive in rejecting ads due to images being imperfect or other minor

And one advantage of short or medium length sausage menus on PCs is that they probably don't require any scrolling. In my opinion, that's what's so nice about them; natural to scroll on mobile, and probably not requiring any

For hamburger menus, I would add an item under "the bad" that they make every website feel like it's intended for mobile. I think one significant advantage of sausage links is that they feel less uniquely intended for any sin

OK, but source? Australian population in 2016 born in China was ~500k. If you assume that the majority of this was happening within that population, if it's 50k "informants", that would mean it's 1 in every 10 people. If

by jfoster 5y ago
Do you have a source for that? Sounds too high to be plausible. With a population of around 25 million, that would mean that 1 out of every 500 people would be an informant.

You're trying to make this polarized, but it's not about good vs evil. It's an observation that it's likely something in an equilibrium today is likely to shift somewhat in the future. No one is saying "now we need

Perhaps this is just a difference between two valid personal views. For me, people are the thing that will be wildly unpredictable. I anticipate that autonomous vehicles will eventually make roads seem extremely machine-like & predictab

It could be that it was perceived as a general conflict of interest. Maybe even be both ways; Tesla could be concerned that he's seemingly reviewing the product independently, without it being clear enough that he works for Tesla, akin

That cars are capable of crashing was known before FSD was even a thing. Statistically, you should be much more afraid of the cars driven by human drivers, because they can do everything FSD can, and there's truly not many on the road

Considering the fates of other Google products, that's a great outcome. At least it didn't end up like Gchat or Google Reader.

Really? The entire category? Just because they're too niche for the manufacturers to bother with issuing updates for? Surely they have to release security updates for some period of time, though?

Google built the product without fully considering that problem, and now regular users are paying the price. In any case, it shouldn't be difficult for the product to make a distinction between files openly available and files being us
