Having an actual number on the books shared by all creates an expectation. It's an anchor. If everyone agrees a 5% increase is reasonable, then everyone will do it. Now you don't need a reason, you're just keeping up with the

I don't think so; my point was that regardless of your billing rate and even in the extreme, the absence of an employer is always a crippling factor. Telling people they can make their way to the top by working harder is a fantasy. The

Aye. I said by the end I was charging that much. I started out at $65/hr billing maybe 20hrs per wk. 10 years is a long time. Before Obamacare and without the ability to bargain as a large scale employer, my insurance options were li

They're calling that "Remaking the Gig Economy"? Making Uber and Lyft drivers into employees? What a sham. For 10 years I ran my own consultancy. Every new engagement was a new "job" where I could negotiate the ru

My understanding of the danger was a bit more practical and less abstract. If you use your "best" classifier in a GAN to generate malicious content, then regardless of whether or not it's any good, it will by definition be ab

This isn't Chrome going against the spec. This is the spec's author (who happens to work on Chrome) changing the spec. Since the spec is still in draft, changes are expected. This isn't even the first change, we're alrea

Your argument is bad and you should feel bad. The status quo is stupid. So the Chrome team wants to make their own users safer. Good for them. In the absurdly stupid scenario where sites are making cookie-mediated blind cross-site POST re

That report was published by trend micros zeroday team, not Google's. Also, bear in mind that project zero and android arent the same team. And pz does sometimes get the same response from Android as trend micro did. And it results in

P zero attacks Google's projects just as much as anyone elses, and there even more aggressive in things like sticking to their disclosure timeline. They definitely don't pull punches or play favorites.

You'll be hard pressed at a well-established tech company like Google to find even one programming topic wherein you're not legitimately competing with your employer. Google's IARC process (where they officially sign over the

A bit of useful flavor of how this looks in real life: On my current team a typical code review of about 300 lines will involve about 3 to 4 reviewers, 20 comments, and maybe 10 changes, usually over the course of about 48 hours. Because th

Having experienced in real life the benefits of this policy myself, I absolutely disagree. I would institute Google-style code reviews at any company I went to that was large enough to have teams of 3 people or more. This as much for effici

"changelist" is the term perforce uses for a a single commit before it gets committed. A bit like a PR in git. Google used perforce before rolling their own vcs, and they kept the perforce terminology.

Cost. ARM and MIPS require licensing fees, and spinning your own new architecture will make your chips irrelevant. RISC-V doesn't charge you to use their instruction set, and it's already supported by developer tooling.

Fine. You don't have to. Android trivially lets you sideload apps downloaded from anywhere on the internet you wish. Apple not so much, but that's Apple. The vast majority of customers want an app store with tighter controls, and

This one was never worth running from the beginning. It existed mostly to prevent a specific person from feeling bad.

Bebop was an acqui-hire, not a real product. All they wanted was the CEO. I don't think anyone took the product seriously except for the person who started it, and once she left Google, there was no reason to continue pretending that i

Ok, but imagine a bug bounty program where you're paid based on how damaging your website is to the product's short term reputation, regardless of whether you've actually disclosed (or even found) anything or substance.

Your browsing history, as a rule, is not actually valuable in any meaningful sense. If it were, then your cost would then have to be an opportunity cost, the lost opportunity to sell which you didn't take. Except if that's the c

The protocol is buggy AF. All that crap about sending data over a separate TCP connection, the weird way you have to deal with state and authentication; ftp is an utter shitshow. Just because a protocol is old doesn't mean it's

Oh. This is more of that project Veritas BS. Expect every inadvisable piece of analysis or research ever downloaded by a low-level Google sales rep to be presented as a exclusive leak of what the company has been secretly planning.

Itd be interesting to see where Google fits in the list of the worlds largest computer manufacturers. I suspect that if they made their numbers public they'd be way higher up than anyone expected.
