This is related to what you are saying, but I think the main reason is that the app has better user retention (push notifications, icon on your home screen). Also they get location data.

I am not sure what you point is. It's not just a binary thing: we do business in the country or we don't. With any decision you have to see if it's in line with your values or not. For me personally, I am fine with passive ce

I will try to give an objective answer. They have a different underlying value system. Europe believes in individualism and privacy. China believes in collectivism and harmony. Right to be forgotten protects the individual. China's wal

According to wikipedia The circumstances that surround Agrippina's death are uncertain due to historical contradictions and anti-Nero bias. All surviving stories of Agrippina's death contradict themselves and each other, and are g

I interviewed at Facebook, Snapchat, Apple, Pinterest, LinkedIn and startups. The coding interviews were exactly the same. This was less than 3 years ago.

Disclaimer: I haven't read the article, but I work at Google. Most interviewers will ask the same question to multiple candidates. They will compare how you the candidate is doing compared to other candidates on the same question. Most

I know what you mean, but you could also interpret that differently. Maybe they specialize in repairs as opposed to new construction? Also, they could have meant "all kinds" as a figure of speech (not "every kind" but &q

This kind of paper which describes a system is not uncommon in computer science. It's a way for future papers which use the system to cite it. For example the scikit learn paper: http://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume12

Headspace has the option for longer sessions. I think it depends on your individual needs if two 10 minute sessions or one 20 minute session is better. Some people gain concentration after 10 minutes, some people get impatient. Longer sessi

I heard a similar quote recently, I don't know the source: "I meditate one hour every day, except when I'm busy; then I meditate two hours."

Large industrial research labs have the same problem. They need to maintain their prestige for recruiting purposes.

The backbone cables loop around the coast of Africa. I believe you that this is the case, but the map you linked is a submarine cable map. If there were backbone ables inside of Africa, they wouldn't show up.

Neural networks often perform worse than bag of words for text classification. They compared to a bag of words baseline, but they didn't tune the regularization parameter, which is important. They should probably have also tried tf-idf

In my experience it's most often no ones fault. It's just miscommunication.

The video wasn't a scam, but maybe it was misleading. Telsa is very far behind Waymo/Cruise (and even waymo hasn't fully solved the problem yet), they are constraining themselves to use less sensors and they have less AI expe

I think they interviewed a biased sample: ex-googlers who want to promote themselves.

Can you elaborate for those of us working at Google and don't know what you are talking about?

This metric is meaningless, for all we know DDG could have become less helpful and people have to rephrase their queries more often than before. EDIT: I'm not saying that is the case, but I hope that this example illustrates why this m

I don't think the next big company will around user privacy. You are willing to pay a premium for privacy, but the problem is most are not. They are happy to give up their privacy if they get something for free in exchange. Maybe that

I don't understand what they are looking for. What kind of year-long project can say a journalist, designer, or lawyer run for $75k - $200k to address those problems? It's too much time and money to simply write an article about i

In my opinion the entire privacy breach is a non-issue. Here is what I think happened: Some engineer at Google found a bug in Google Plus that could be used to access private data. The issue was investigated by the security team. They find

Quoting the top comment from the other discussion, which I think hits the nail on it's head: Company finds a security vulnerability caused by a bug. Logs show that it has never been used by anyone. It patches the vulnerability. Should

I disagree. I think Google+ had great marketing and release. Good enough to create a social network with 300 million monthly active users out of thin air. However the product did not provide enough value for people to keep using it. The cir

Most of the incremental growth in our core markets like the US, UK, and France will have to come from older users who generate higher average revenue per user. Changing the design language of our product and improving our marketing and c
