But software can be written anywhere.

I do think Google has good engineers, but they are really not that indispensable

Not that unreasonable I guess?

Even an App is free, it doesn't mean you can distribute it without permission? I would say the case apply to restaurants as well. I can see good restaurants leverage this to negotiate favorable terms with platforms.

Kneel jerking PR response

No Retaliation

Google prohibits retaliation against any worker here at Google who reports or participates in an investigation of a possible violation of our Code, policies, or the law. If you believe you are being retaliated against, please contact Ethics & Compliance.

Well, it is safe to say this is hot garbage then.

I would love Google to remove all the self entitled BS from this statement, so they can act as an everyday faceless big company which is anyway what it is doing, not some moral beacon for the mass to look up to.

The statement exists only to generate traffic for the news outlet for spinning.

It is at will employment, the company makes it clear what you have done there, they want to have a say on it.

If you want independence, goes to academia instead (though it is not easy to obtain it either)

New to the hardware land, so the core argument here is that CISC instructions are not fixed in length, so decoding becomes less efficient?

Well, Oracle bought Sun, and the team behind it.

I would be more in the mood to praise Oracle for this development, had they not shown how far they could go to hurt Java's community/ecosystem just to squeeze a penny out of it.

Honestly more curious about how does the FTC verifies the submitted report to be an accurate representation of what the company is actually executing?

2B is not a big deal for Amazon or AWS

Fantastic news.

Go Europe, we need an alternative to compete.

I have to use something to do my actual job and it take more time that it should because of the UI I'd look elsewhere

The one who made the decision to use GCP would not be the one who would use it actually. If GCP offers a bigger cut than other Cloud providers, loading time would be irrelevant in that optics.

Enterprise users are risk averse. Speed is definitely a plus, but they would care more about stability/predictability than anything.

I don't think I agree with you here.

Make Cloud UI fast is probably not their priority. This is an enterprise product, not consumer facing, users are much less likely to be turned off due to slow UI. They will wait.

Integrity/Security would be much higher on the list than UI loading speed.

Not surprising at all.

80% of professional musicians can't make a living

It might hurt people's feeling, but most of those are not professional musicians.

I don't think it is judgemental to say that to claim oneself as professional, one need to demonstrate that they could make a living out of it. Otherwise, it is no different than a hobbyist, albeit much more time is dumped on it.

In case of streaming, now more people can declare themselves as musicians, since the barrier of publishing has been significantly lowered comparing to physical CDs. But that doesn't mean profit would follow.

To produce hit music isn't easy, and luck is certainly a factor of it.

How much did they earn from their music prior to streaming?

Musician for most isn't a job that sustains your livelihood, to speak the truth. Most musicians takes it a passion driven side gig besides their regular day job.

Does Google care about AI ethics/bias?

Google cares about AI ethnics because talking about it gives those people, especially higher ups, an imagined sense of significance and adrenaline rush of being a savior.

But in reality, AI ethnics is just a gloried showroom of diversity/inclusiveness.

It is not a product, it doesn't generate revenue, in corporate world, nobody cares.

revealing the identities of every person who Megan and I had spoken to

Big red flag. Why are the identities of reviewers important here? Did she plan to take those reviewers to the court of public opinions for a trial/exposure?

A lesson is delivered in time IMO. Those entitled people need to be called out.

She is not fired for being a black woman.

She is fired because she works against the interests of the company who hired her.

The outcome won't be different if you are a man.

What is the story?

To limit the scope, and type of applications people should use Lambda for and Lambda is best at running them.

15 mins max runtime simplifies the resource management and avoid abuse. If you have workload for long running jobs, then that should go to something like AWS EKS/Batch/SageMaker.

That being said, things can change, if more and more people requires long running capacity for Lambda (though I am skeptical of that, as Lambda abstracts the underlying hardware away and is supposedly flexible to the requirements)

Idk. The very presence of this is a test for confidence that nobody has asked for in the first place

One country is liberal and democratic

Wake up. With a president actively trying to overturn election outcome? Attacking the very system that puts him in power 4 years ago? No, the world is watching, and they are not stupid.

You don’t need a PR to move to China.

PR is for immigration and China isn’t an immigrant country.

I agree however not a lot westerner immigrated China in masses. I don’t think you would live a normal life there without knowing Chinese, it will be painful. The immigration policy is mostly nonexisten, which by itself says a lot about the government's attitude towards foreigners in general.

On the other hand, China could be attractive place to gain experience with, it is vast complex and completely different from the West.

COE won't lead to inevitable LE, it only means your manager wants you to be the scapegoat or you are indeed responsible for it.

Resolving COE can be a positive even if you know how to spin it, at least that was the case when I was there. But not sure whether things had changed

Too weird to me since I have an YouTube premium subscription (because I bought Google Music way back), not non of this affects me.

Is it getting so bad recently?

I don't think so.

Xi does this because he can.

If you can quarantine 1B people in two weeks, that means Xi's power has reached an unbelievable level. He can start a war if he wants to, no one in China can object to that.

Alibaba is nothing but a pawn to him. The fear created by halting of Ant IPO will ensure no other entrepreneurs will publicly challenge the authority as long as Xi is in power.

Financial institutions are semi governmental branches in most countries. Jack Ma also admitted if the Chinese government demands, he would handle Ant's control back to the government. This is also the reason I believe Ant didn't plan to go to oversea for IPO in the first place, regardless of the political climate in US. It needs the buying from Chinese government, so the CCP.

Frankly speaking, in a country such like China where capital is strictly controlled, Ant's existence itself is pretty significant.

And..?

It doesn't IPO in Western countries anyway.

Boring and unnecessary product. A Google TikTok clone will excite me than Google TV.

TV is dying and few will miss or even notice it.

In principle, but it doesn't mean such practices can be acted out unchecked in US.

Right now, all things happened according to the slated procedures, including the challenge in court.

Trump and his supporters shouldn't expect otherwise, if they truly believe in rule of law.

I still think it is lacking in this proposal to justify why picking Swift as the host language

The first and foremost question before even bringing up the solutions is: how do you measure?

Does web loading time alone reduce the energy consumption?
