I (obviously) wasn't there but it sounds like you did the right thing. At the end of the day you were the one sitting in the chair and had to make a judgement call based on your training and observations. Think of this way - if you had

I'm a backend infrastructure guy rather than a product guy so I'll do my best but please take it all with a large grain of salt. I was privy to some of the higher-level discussions, but I spend most of my days down in the guts of

You shouldn't have to change anything. The blogger photos will still be stored in the same place and the urls should continue to work.

I work on the backend for Google Photos (and Google+ Photos and Picasaweb). Picasaweb, Google+ Photos and Google Photos all store the photos in the same place. There was never any need to "shuffle gigabytes of photos" when moving

> Why no negative hex? From the article: "I had been worrying about things like -0x12345 and -9223372036854775809 and 9999999999999999999, even though those numbers would not be something a programmer would be likely to encounter&qu

IANAL. My understanding is that it comes down to a "reasonable person" doctrine - i.e. would a reasonable person consider the location to be private. Another way of thinking about it is if there is a reasonable chance that you wil

I don't know where you are getting this from - do you have any personal experience to draw from? It doesn't match my experience. In almost seven years at Google I've worked on amazingly interesting projects - from hardware to

Does your personal experience include actually being involved in the hiring process at Google? Because in my personal experience - as both an interviewer and a hiring committee member - what you said is completely wrong. > they don'

To make sure I understand, what you would like is an API to get your original photos & metadata back out?

Quick follow-up. I can reproduce this on my own account. I uploaded a raw (NEF) using desktop uploader using the "Original" setting. Downloading through the photos app returns the original NEF file. Downloading via Drive returns a

Unfortunately we don't have a good answer for "family" accounts at this point. It's definitely something that we've talked about internally and is something that I'd personally love to see in the product.

Can you be more specific about which features you are looking for? There are geo-tagging feature in the new app: * For any photo you can click on the "info" icon (i with a circle around it) which will show the photo's locatio

Thanks for the article. I work on the photos team. I will file bugs for the drive-sync issue and the issue with the large downloads failing and try to get some answers.

Is this happening with the new app that launched this week? If you have concrete examples I could investigate.

Which device are you on? I just tested on Android with the latest build and I get a trash icon in the expected places - in the bottom right corner in the single photo view and in the top right corner in the thumbnail view (once at least one

Why is it weird? The app is launching on Android, web and iOS - why wouldn't all three platforms be shown?

Agreed. The article exhibited it's own bit of genius. As I was reading I kept waiting for the big "..BUT.." that would talk about how Shakespeare wasn't a genius. It wasn't until I got to the section on garden path

This seems like a 21st century version of phrenology more than something that "brings mental health diagnosis into the 21st century". Just replace measuring skulls with measuring "RNA molecules".

My total comp - including salary, bonuses and equity is regularly almost 2x my base salary.

FWIW, I think this only shows data for base salaries. My total comp is almost 2x my base salary. I believe that's pretty typical at Google.

Both of my accounts just came back up for me. Note - I have no inside knowledge of what's happening. I'm just posting my observations.

Interesting. On my Nexus 5 all of those examples work perfectly without touching the phone. Since around the time of the Nexus 4 the voice recognition has been really good (for me at least). Not trying to argue - it's just interesting

I would take that report with a huge grain of salt. First - it's based on dubious sources "_Payscale's report recorded data collected from 250,000 people working at Fortune 500 companies in the past year (July 1, 2012 to July
