The Cruise first responder procedure (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qjR38RAQ2cgjxic69TMseT_-Bhj...) instructs them to call Cruise to take the vehicle out of AV mode, if needed.

The "control of the device" hasn't been handed over to anyone. If you log into another account, or go into guest mode, GoGuardian will not be present. In fact, you couldn't find out if GoGuardian was installed on another account you aren't logged into, because every account has all user data encrypted. The school won't be able to see anything about non cps.edu accounts - they don't know if they exist, what the email addresses were, etc.

There is no concept of installing or running programs outside of a login on ChromeOS. There is also only one form of device ownership, and that is device enrollment (which is not what is being described by OP), and the set of policies that are applied to enrolled device. Logging into an account cannot apply device policies.

cps.edu is who's enforcing that while you use a cps.edu account, you have to use their software (only while logged into that account or browser). BYOD devices are still yours and you can remove the account with a press of a button.

The verbiage of this article: "Google’s experiment ... has failed" - seems to be written by someone who doesn't know what an experiment is for. It did exactly what it was meant to - provide the data needed to make the right decision. Kudos to those involved for following the data.

The experiment didn't fail, it concluded.

Goodwill is already a 501(c)3, why not just donate to them directly and let them decide how to best use the funds?

Am I a freedom fighter if I tell my boss that I'm not going to code that thing they want to get out the door next week, I have a pet project that I really like, and then me and all my other co-workers go on strike when I can't do that?

Yes, if you thought that thing you were going to code was antithetical to freedom. Just because you do or don't do something at work doesn't mean it's exempt from ethical scrutiny by either employees or society at large.

Something similar at Google for instance: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/11/27/google-...

For the majority of the history of land lines and analog phones, the phones and lines were owned by the telephone company, and leased by the consumer. This change happened in 1982, 10 years AFTER mobile phones were invented.

In fact, some people still lease their phones: https://consumerist.com/2012/04/30/hundreds-of-thousands-of-...

Great question, I didn't even notice that. Based on this article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/uber-signs-d...), it might be that they aren't doing development themselves, and are co-working with Volvo to do their development, but I don't see Volvo on the list either.

No real surprises here, but the notable front runners are Waymo, with 352544.2 miles and 63 disengagements (5595.9 disengagements/mile) and GM Cruise with 131675.94 miles and 105 disengagements (1254.1 disengagements/mile).

A distant third is Nissan with 5007 miles and 24 disengagements, for 208.6 disengagements/mile.

All others have less than 5000 miles driven and less than 200 miles/disengagement

Bram Cohen just announced Chia to address this, using storage and time as the proof-of-work.

Your entire search history is fingerprinted, associated, shared, and sold.

I've often been curious about this. I've heard this sentiment many times, but I've never heard of where/how anyone could actually buy a search history. Surely there must be some accounts of how the other side of the equation works.

Also, how much does it cost? All the facebook/google help pages I've seen focus on ads, where no personal information is shared.

It's different for each of my reports, and it's different when I have my 1:1 with my manager as well.

My manager and I usually talk about high level strategy - he does more talking, letting me know about direction decisions that have been made or things I have to plan for.

One of my reports likes to go into a technical deep dive and get advice on whatever he happens to be working on. These usually run a bit long (a couple hours) so I have them scheduled such that it isn't a problem.

Another coworker just gives status updates, lets me know general status, points out any new issues or changes in existing challenges that I may not be aware of. I keep on top of what's going on so they're pretty short.

Another report likes to chat about the industry, what's going on, random stuff from within the company. This 1:1 is more like a little break for both of us. Sometimes we just skip if either of us is busy or there's nothing to talk about.

No two are the same, but I always try to cover two minimum things: 1) Pass down any new information that is relevant to what they're doing, and 2) Ask if there's anything they're blocked on that I can help with.

"we experimented by conducting the same battery tests using a Chrome browser, rather than Safari. For this exercise, we ran two trials on each of the laptops, and found battery life to be consistently high on all six runs"

Specifically it looks like it might be a Safari problem.

Is this confusing anyone else?

I wonder if the real issue is not just the net neutrality issue, but calling it "free internet", using the internet.org domain, and not being totally forthcoming about the limitations.

Would people still have a problem if they simply relabeled it more accurately as "free facebook with a few bonus items" and marketed it as such?

It's right there in the proposed sec.41A.5(f)

If no violation has occurred and the complaint was dismissed, the "Interested Party" may sue, and if prevailing "shall be entitled to an award of actual damages, attorneys fees and costs and special damages of not less than $250 and not more than $1,000 per violation per day."

What part isn't true?

Oh wow - thanks so much for this!! I just got a huge nostalgia hit back to the days of The Shadow of Yserbius/Fates of Twinion, which were some of the earliest games I played. I think both your game engine and art style have somehow captured the core of this type of game, even being realtime, and without the multiplayer or RPG elements.

I'm a big fan of web first development and I'll be sure to use this as an example of what's possible.

You can be authentic and speak your mind without being arrogant, insulting, and condescending.

In terms of tone, I wouldn't hold this up as a good example - it distracts from any legitimate argument the writer may or may not have.

I just googled "who is the next president?" and got this: http://imgur.com/eV8W5zr

Although I can't imagine this strongly affecting someone's decision, the subtler issue of result ordering (especially based on previous search history) is an interesting one.

The actual new/old fiber itself isn't really what makes it possible to get Google Fiber, it's more about having a regulatory framework that allows Fiber to be cost effective.

From: http://www.broadbandforamerica.com/blog/regulatory-concessio...

"Municipalities across the U.S., nearly 1,100 of them, competed vigorously to be chosen as the site for the project, but too few had a regulatory environment conducive to the investment that was required."

I believe Salt Lake City sold their unused fiber infrastructure to Google for $1, which I'm sure helped (in return Google ).

Also from the article: "These biases occur unconsciously and without intention or malice."

In my opinion, the origin of these biases is in the early, formative years: When children see mom stay at home and dad go to work, they learn that that's the way things are - without any conscious negative judgement and regardless of gender. It's the society they grew up in, so seeing something deviate from that can create a bias. It's naturally self-propagating as well, so it will take conscious effort (from everyone) over generations to overcome.

I highly recommend taking the Harvard Implicit Gender - Career Bias test (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html). I found it extremely enlightening because I could actually FEEL my brain pulling me to answer incorrectly. It's timed, so there's mental pressure to make quick decisions - where the brain takes advantage of pattern matching that's been trained over a lifetime.

Haswell introduced C7-C10, as described in a slide here: http://www.techpowerup.com/175374/haswell-ult-processors-cou...

Given the many "not as good as Google but good enough" type comments, perhaps people are switching away from it being the default from a search bar, but instead of using it for everything, they use it for what they consider sensitive queries.

In addition to cropping the frame, it warps the image to map each frame to a set of points calculated to fit a simulated camera following a line, parabola, or a filtered version of the original camera path. When sped up, the end result is not "garbage" at all because it's a path along a perfect line/parabola.

You can 2x the video on Youtube to see for yourself. The major drawback is cropping and computation time, which is where Microsoft's technique excels.

Most “buckets” that Google creates have no names — they are just nodes in a vast network of associations.

Since the buckets have no names, it sounds more like a description of an AI implementation than a simple binning/bucketing system.

Based on location and size, I'm guessing it's used for the USB type C port - specifically implementing the CC sideband communication protocol.

So what happens when you connect one Macbook to another with the USB C Charge cable?

From the "based in a part of the world that I don’t much like" and "Bay Area" part of that comment, I think he means geographically.
