PSA: Woah.wait. I just thought since personal data of about ~30 million people was leaked, most of them would be having Gmail accounts. So, isn't Gmail under threat too? I think GOOGLE should also issue an advisory asking people to cha

Looking at the current news cycle, I think their huge lead is eventually going to get squandered away. George Hotz said Waymo is like Xerox PARC of Autonomous Tech. I think it's somewhere in between.They're somewhat like Fairchild

Project Zero is the reason I regard Google's security as one of the best (possibly the best). They haven't had any major/minor leak, IIRC, which is a huge deal. I mean even if 1 data leak occurred in the next 2 years, I would

Does your server allow Google Ads because honestly, I would feel like a hypocrite blocking their ads as those ads basically pay for what Jigsaw does. Just saying.

I think Jigsaw has a good record of making tools which work for the oppressed sections or in areas of cybersecurity/censorship etc. Good work must be appreciated. I don't think any other Big Co. has a division dedicated to solving

Hi Jeremy, I am a beginner. Going to start your ML course,then follow up with DL- 1 & 2. My question is when will these 3 be updated to the new version of fastai. I am aware of the fellowship for DL-1, but there's a 12 hour differe

Humans make systems. Teams like Project Zero (of Google) have contributed a ton to security. They prioritize security a lot.

Thats no a good way to make a decision. Big,small doesn't matter. What matters is who is providing better security? When 2 parties big,small are collecting data ,then the party which can act on security vulnerabilities quickly and has

Shelves on shops manipulate you. Some products are put in front, some in the back. Back in the day, small companies suffered due to this and big brands used to get more brand placement. Counters have inexpensive candies, so that, instead of

Agree with all your points. I am wondering what justification Sergey,Larry will give for this. If they took good ethical decisions, they would gain more respect from people. I read the book The Google Guys when I was 13 (now 20). Larry,Serg

History will also judge Alphabet with a positive mindset (T&C apply!). Google did to web what Apple,MS did to computing. Google files patents but doesn't extract royalty from it unlike MS. I think next 10 years will be really cruci

Though, the report of apps which dupe users have been there for iOS too,much less, probably due to various factors like: low % marketshare, better vetting process as you said. How is the app-uploading mechanism different for iOS, Android?

Yes. There's an option to download sections . It shows how much space it will take. Expires in 1 month I think and gives a notification to update it to reflect latest changes.
