The "other" search engine (you mean Google with Google maps/shopping recommendations etc. right?) didn't buy ads in its own system competing on a level playing field with competitors, but created new space for its own pr

I guess the process was driven by my new phone: Google Pixel 6a. I guess Google's "we'll get you started by copying everything off your old phone" process can do whatever it wants, but it surely didn't explicitly sa

Google is pretending that there's user choice in app stores on Android, but it's very clear that Google Play gets preferred treatment in various ways. I just switched Android phones last week, and the system offered me to copy ove

I'm curious about the tech stack. It seems to be a combination of Rust and Python? How does that exactly work?

It's really just a matter of habit and getting used to no staging area takes short and has huge benefits. We develop HighFlux[1] which also gets rid of the staging area. It simplifies your mental model of what's going on a lot. Be

GP doesn't say anything about Greek roots? Anyway, the footer of the website says "Built in Athens, Vienna and London." so there's definitely a link with Greece.

At least there's Google takeout where you can download a data dump of everything they've stored for you, so probably a good idea to do that for your precious photo memories.

I totally agree. If they had had a message "this is a problem with your account, fix it or else within 3 days we suspend you", that wouldn't have been nice but not completely impossible like the current solution. How is it no

People don't necessarily need to be in one big team. Lots of things that are important can be worked on by more than 10 people. (Surely Google and Facebook each have more than 10 people working on security). Is there evidence that so f
