The opening statements of the quarterly public analyst calls give a lot of good direction. I don't think anyone would be foolish enough to blab an actual breakdown for this, Alphabet- or Cloud-wide. https://www.youtube.com

Employee counts via Form 10-K releases (as of EoY each year): 2013: 47,756 (too lazy to look earlier) 2014: 53,600 (+12.2% YoY) 2015: 61,814 (+15.3% YoY) 2016: 72,053 (+16.5% YoY) 2017: 80,110 (+11.1% YoY) 2018: 98,771 (+23.2% YoY) Source:

Came here to make the same observation. Good on teams at Microsoft to not allow themselves to make a "we're more reliable than G Suite" joke.

Okay, I'll bite. With no updates since April 2017, why re-share this today and now? Here is a link also to the legal page, last updated February 2017. Why am I sharing it? Also a mystery for others to solve, I guess. https:/&#x2F

Reading the article beyond the neat little graph tells you of California's plans. Governments and companies make long term investments in their own structure over multiple years. This is also the basis of the bond market.

The areas Apple runs to add and improve (AR, 3D face emojis, lotta camera depth work) keep landing in stark contrast to basics like this for me. I'm still waiting, for almost a decade now, to have two (or more) countdown timers run sim

Yes? This is a basis of fraud and confidence schemes. Especially when it will enrich you.

An area it's being spent on is rent at properties largely owned by property firms. In the case of the building I live in (in "downtown" Sunnyvale), the three front office workers and two maintenance persons come nowhere near

You didn't release any data to verify and this is clearly a product pitch in the form of a Medium post, so I guess my response is "Oh. Okay" Edit: Transcription[0] seems really poor, but I guess they're just checking for

Am I reading correctly that they're including LinkedIn as Cloud revenue?

Yeah, congratulations to everyone who called it ages ago or pointed out that a CEO is going to put HQ2 near an already established home. Good work on 6+ months of press and making cities embarrass themselves for what seemed obvious from the

For perspective, $7Bn is 1.25x Qualcomm's quarterly revenue. This is a big gap. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/25/qualcomm-earnings-q3-2018.ht...

There are many differences. This location is also thousands of miles from Santa Cruz. I'm not understanding why you selected this as a point of comparison?

3400 words about how one person smuggled in a book to read, instant coffee, M&Ms, and champagne-soaked gummy bears, and somehow still half-thought it was _the ashram_ that was "total bullshit."

Number of employees was 89,058 as of June 30, 2018. This does not include temps, vendors, or contractors. And in my experience as a current employee, it sure seems so. Just as someone who left years ago can juice attention and their job pro

I know we deprecated the prediction API with a year's warning while bringing out Cloud ML Engine. And Cloud SQL changed a bit when the second generation came in and supported MySQL, PostgreSQL and more. Can't think of others off t

I bought a couple 2019 core sets and some boosters a month ago, first time I've owned Magic in twenty years. It's weird how it manages to sit in the back of the mind, just waiting for the curiosity to return.

User selection is what makes modern news on the web helpful. I'm also curious what what defines 'regular news'? What if it's from a finance-focused paper like the WSJ versus my local daily? To wit, why separate stock fro
