It's funny how I was starting to nod my head at your comment, because yes, I agree that there's some obvious reasons why american men are less interested in college, and fine, maybe "actively hostile" is a little much bu

About 76 percent of public school teachers were female and 24 percent were male in 2017–18, with a lower percentage of male teachers at the elementary school level (11 percent) than at the secondary school level (36 percent) https:/&#

It’s not necessarily about the danger to them, but the danger of their transmitting to others. Even vaccinated, there are people who are immunocompromised and less protected. And then honestly - I know a number of people who have had Covid

Reading the thread, the original post was: "Oh! Well, I actually did not know this. You are saying they realized they shouldn't use my Gmail to customize what ads they show me; how can I verify you are right to say so?" and t

To be 100% clear, I'm only talking about gmail, and by extension, Workspace, because I until recently worked there and saw firsthand how data was treated.

Fundamentally it’s impossible to prove a negative, so agreed that it’s a pinky promise. I would say that I am a little closer to the problem space than just ”believing” from my time working in this area and dealing with these issues. I rout

It's a cut and paste from the linked support article, hardly my preferred mode of communication. Elsewhere in the thread I cut and paste from other content that's a little bit more plainspoken.

Again, my comment about "no one" was in the context of ads personalization, as in "no other part of google that might want to consume the model for broader use". If we are going to do "threat modeling", we shou

I just grabbed that from the support article because it was first in my search history - that's the support article related to @domain.com workspace users, so it's framed in that context. For the purely consumer use case (it&#x27

My comment was directly in reference to this thread's topic, which is the use of gmail data for ads vs. the use of gmail data for the personalization of gmail. Your comment isn't germane to that topic.

Googler here, who worked on Workspace (which gmail is a part of). Anyone who works in workspace could confirm that, it's something that is taken very seriously. On the personalization side - smart compose in gmail, where there's

Disagreeing about the rules is not a violation of those rules, I agree. But it is a statement of intent that you plan to not follow the rules if you win your court case, which means...you won't be playing by the rules. Seems perfectl

But Epic then promptly turned around and appealed. Why should Apple let epic back in when they’re saying they will “play by the rules” in one breath and saying “we don’t accept the courts ruling on the rules” in another?
