The nexus phone line were joint developments with OEMs. Pixel is the line that Google solely developed and marketed as its own as it pivoted to trying to influence the Android brand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel

>I will never understand why Google has never come up with a viable marketing strategy for Android, to be fashionable in its own different way. Since Google traditionally never sold phones, the Android branding was left to OEMs like Sams

Search still relies on content that doesn't suck though, and like GP said, if the internet today sucks, then the competing search will also suck.

Disagree - the difference with now is the same difference between supervised and unsupervised machine learning.

Services. Inevitably some of the queries involve recommending a service, and when you have two equal substitute services in a market, both will pay a certain price to be recommended over the other.

Nothing I said is intentionally misleading, it's right there in the source I linked. Apple Chinese users are still Apple users. Google employees rejected that same requirement to operate in China, showing that Google cares more about

You mean the direct quote made above with the "assertions"? Are you intentionally playing dumb? Here it is (again): > I’m simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to

Okay, but that doesn't change the fact that you mixed up the terms here. If the right wanted to really stop immigrant sex trafficking or child abuse, they would be promoting for fairer and easier immigration laws.

I mean, you said it yourself - there's an HFT moment happening with negative articles being robotically written that is causing the stock to drop. If anything it's a bit of an over-correction from the positive bump GOOG had recen

Advertising is like finance; there are entire teams of people whose full time jobs it is to make money using complex markets. SMBs are not going to be able to casually compete. Also if it wasn't a black box, then scammers would be fle

Can you? I'm not trying to make a point by hiding behind an appeal to averages.

Collapsing Damore's argument into "An average man is incapable of being in tech. An average woman is incapable of being in tech." is disingenious, especially given his quote only speaks to one sex. But then I doubt you care,

Worth noting that sunscreen only blocks a % of UVB, meaning you're still producing vitamin D while wearing sunscreen. Sometimes it's better for your skin to be wearing low SPF for regular sun exposure. i.e. SPF 15, 30, & 50 s

Hiding behind an appeal to averages does not change the fact that Damore said women [on average ] are biologically incapable of being in tech and leadership positions. Again, Damore reaped the consequences of his own actions by violating a

We're talking about fingerprinting here. Even a person wearing a ski mask could give a name, they still stand out because they have a ski mask on. Deviations from the norm make you stand out, even if it's lying.

User agents are remarkably easy to spoof at scale. Bad actors could cycle known user agents with a password until they hit the right non-2FA login agent. It also presents an attack vector to screw up everyone's logins and repeatedly f

Users typically use the same browser on each device, so using first party cookies to identify a device for web logins is not that far fetched of a solution.

How is that a ban when they are tweeting about it? It looks more like an algorithmic hiccup that was corrected than a ban for violating TOS. Not the same at all.

The fact that you take any action to obfuscate your identity only makes you stand out more from the herd, not blend in. It's like wearing a ski mask in a store. Your profile(s) are more noticeable even if you're not immediately i

James Damore was fired for violating his employee agreement with Google, because he said the reason you don't see women in engineering and leadership positions is due to them being biologically incapable. Even James confirmed as much.

You're mixing up terms here. Being against legal immigration and implementing policies to make it more difficult to become legal (as the right has done) has lead to the enslavement of immigrant women and other sex trafficking. Being

You typically show symptoms of autoimmune attacks, like neuropathies, elevated WBCs in blood/CSF, protein in CSF, inflammation biomarkers, etc. What becomes difficult is determining what triggers the autoimmune attacks, as it could be

For one or two attacks, sure, but at the scales to having impact we're talking prohibitively expensive, especially with antifraud detection whacking the moles.

But to GP's point, that appears to be the only news about the event: https://news.google.com/search?q=mein%20kampf%20stanford It seems like this really is a molehill.
