The thing is, the bill of rights doesnt say anything about that. It says "the government shall not", and it seems to me any sane interpretation would say it applies wherever the government is active and claiming jurisdiction.
"10% annual turnover" without knowing the size of the company is meaningless. If there's 3000 employees that's a pretty bad sign. If there's 5 employees, that's actually worse because someone has been cut in half.
If nothing else comes out of this, I hope we end up with an Android OS that works better than the current one.

I've been running Android since the Nexus One so I'm no newbie to the platform, but the ease with which iOS manages to get all UI interactions at ~unnoticable FPS and outstanding battery life is staggering when you're used to Android. It feels like some really fundamental choices were made badly on the platform that make it incredibly inconsistent and unreliable. A fresh start would be fantastic.

It's awesome that Google is doing this and in public too https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/

Unfortunately, the hard part of an operating system isn't in a cool API and a rendering demo. It's in integrating the fickle whims of myriad hardware devices with amazingly high expectations of reliability and performance consistency under diverse workloads. People don't like dropped frames when they plug in USB :) Writing device drivers for demanding hardware is much harder than saving registers and switching process context. The Linux kernel has an incredible agglomeration of years of effort and experience behind it - and the social ability to scale to support diverse contributors with different agendas.

Microsoft, with its dominant position on the desktop, famously changed the 'preferred' APIs for UI development on a regular cadence. Only Microsoft applications kept up and looked up to date. Now Google has such a commanding share of the phone market - Android is over 80% and growing http://www.idc.com/promo/smartphone-market-share/os - they have a huge temptation to follow suit. Each time that Microsoft introduced a new technology (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Presentation_Foundatio... WPF) they had to skirt a fine line between making it simple and making sure that it would be hard for competitors to produce emulation layers for. Otherwise, you could run those apps on your Mac :)

There are many things to improve (and simplify) in the Android APIs. It would be delightful to add first class support for C++ and Python, etc. A project this large will be a monster to ship so hopefully we'll soon (a few years) see the main bits integrated into more mainstream platforms like Android/Linux - hopefully without too much ecosystem churn
It's more about support costs if I were to guess. How many support tickets does it take for their profit on $25 a year to disappear? (if $2.50 a month is discounted to $25 a year).
I vaguely agree with the premise of this post, which I would summarize is "The fear that paying individuals too much is empowering them to leave your organization is unfounded."

My perspective is that if the main force tying people to your company is money, then that's is the root of your problem. If people see it as just a money source that'll affect their quality of work in many other ways.

Right? Apps written to use Postgres aren't just going to be re-written to use Spanner.

If anything, hosted Postgres from Google Cloud will be priced in a way that makes Spanner some what more attractive, as a way to get conversions to Spanner in the long-run.

Your theory is correct, but you're not taking into account that, in Delhi, it's far easier (read: cheaper) to enforce a ban on the sale/use than it is to ensure tax compliance.

Delhi proper is twice the population of Colorado, and the metro area has four times the population of Colorado. Combine that with a relatively porous implementation of laws, and it's just way easier to go for a complete ban.

> After three days at coffee shops, your neck starts to hurt.

Don't work from coffee shops. That's just a bad idea anyway, as your CSO will tell you.

> Three days at home and you feel like a loner.

Nope. I work from home 4 days out of 5, and I'm constantly in communication with my workmates. I also have friends outside of work. Even then, I like being alone. Don't hire autophobes to work remotely!

> Face-to-face meetings are most efficient

I hear people say this, but rarely do I see evidence. Informal face-to-face meetings often end faster, but they often leave important issues unexamined. Face-to-face meetings also prevent everyone from working when they're happening. With email and even instant messaging, I can participate in a conversation even if I'm not available when somebody else wants to start it.

> Technology is always iffy. In meetings, it boils down to Wi-Fi speeds, audio quality, and lags

Learn to use text to communicate. IRC/Slack works fine over slow connections. Plus, the minutes write themselves!

> Remote work doesn’t allow for quick adaptation or response to ad hoc issues.

Your remote workers should have phones. Reserve them for when you actually need to contact them urgently and they won't just ignore them.

> Some PMs are understanding of time zone differences and ad hoc travel reschedules while others prefer fixing meeting times and office hours.

This is a problem with your PMs. You can't have remote working whilst allowing PMs to run projects in a way that's not compatible with it.

> Balls are dropped or people reinvent the wheel because they are unaware another team member has taken action already.

Anyone who's worked in an office will know that also happens in an office. It's important to have a method of tracking what work is being done, or not being done, whether or not everyone is in the same office, unless your company is 3 people sitting around the same desk.
I would say that Google is trying to replace JavaScript with dart in any way they possibly can. The reason is simple, JavaScript is an open standard, dart is owned by google.

Their reasons that "dart is better" is the typical google koolaid before they attempt a market takeover. As we've seen over and over with Android, chrome, and AMP especially. Google loves to make glass house open source projects you can't touch. You're free to look at how great it is, feel it's well refined curves and admire the finish, but God help you if you don't like how the project is going and want to fork it for yourself.

Don't bother trying to commit a new feature to any of Google's software that they don't agree with. It will languish forever. Don't bother forking either, because they'll build a small proprietary bit into it that grows like a tumor until it's impossible to run the "open source" code without it.

Fuck dart, I don't care how great it is. Microsoft is being the good one in this case by extending js with typescript, google is trying to upend it into something that they control

There are a lot of reasons for horrible complexity.... 1. There are many ways to roll out a video conferencing system because the hardware is all commodity. Many companies will have their IT department buy all the hardware and try to deploy it using the built in methodologies for connecting conference rooms. This is usually when everyone is given a 16 digit pin number to dial into a room, this causes the dial in nightmares. There are also 3rd parties that will basically sell the same solution as the "custom IT solution" as a service. 2. If you want a decent UI experience you move from snapping commodity hardware together to building a software engineering team, software release pipeline, software updates, and all the stuff that comes along with it. This is usually done by a third party but it still costs more than the commodity solution which it is priced against 3. Once you get a software engineering team involved they have to support the different types of hardware out in production. Most companies have generations of conferencing hardware installed with different configurations throughout the company and do not want to pay for all new hardware. Now your software has to be able to implement screen sharing with 5 different codecs and all those codecs have different bugs and different communication protocols. 4. HP tried to solve this by building their own codecs and forcing all rooms to deploy with the same configurations, but this ended up being the most expensive video conferencing system in the world. It also had the best quality and best reliability.

So yes the cost to building a good ui and less complex system can be way more expensive.

"We still value giving our team members flexibility to work efficiently. Currently, two team members are remote working while traveling / living in different countries. Within the framework of self-management and flexibility, these “exceptional” situations aren’t seen as unfair by colleagues, but a different lifestyle choice."

Prediction: those working remotely will leave or stop working remotely. If everyone else is local and the major form of communication is to drop by their desk, anyone remote will be out of the loop most of the time. That sucks.

Some points are valid, but some others show a lack of proper tools.

For example:

> Assumptions and lack of documentation became obvious. [..] people reinvent wheel because they are unaware another team member has taken action already.

I can't see how this is related to working from home or not. If your employees aren't documenting what they do and relying on "face to face meetings" to check in on what they did, well, good luck with that, especially when teams start growing in size.

> People who didn’t come to the office missed out on things like ad hoc team lunches and dinners, discussions on the latest tech when a delivery arrives, tastings (wine, whisky, coffee, snacks, and a lot more).

Again: lunches and dinners aren't documentation tools. Missing out on snacks, wine, whisky? Really?

> Efficiency suffers. [...] there can be lags in responses that wouldn’t happen in the office.

"Lags in responses" are productive, imho. I'd rather keep on doing what I'm focused on doing right now, then answer to your question in HipChat, than be interrupted to address "whatever's on your mind".
I would almost always very much rather someone asynchronously get my attention than interrupt me. There's literally no way to do the former by "walking over". Hovering doesn't count.

> See the other comment about how he'd have much more money if he'd plowed his inheritance into an index fund

See my other comment about how that's not actually true, but in any case we are not talking about how much money he could have made, or whether he is the most intelligent out of all businessmen, but whether or not he is intelligent.

I would argue it takes more intelligence to run a multi-billion dollar empire than it takes to invest in an index fund, even if the index makes larger returns in the long run. Not everyone is motivated by money, especially if your net worth is several hundred million dollars, which it was for Trump at the point when Fortune started the calculation that he would have been better off investing in an index fund.

No it's not the status quo. The major OEM's do release their code. Yes, there are some Chinese OEM violators, but that's typical of China.

I mean, it was great when CSD fans had their Gnome 3, and title/menubar fans had their Xfce.

The points I listed aren't just "harumph I don't like change!" complaints, they're actual usability issues for me. I will agree the CSD approach is nicer for tablets and for "less bloat"; but I like the "more power" of a proper menu and toolbar more.

Various forms of plastic bans keep getting imposed year after year in different places in India.

Nothing practically happens because:

a. Police has better things to do than round up people and shops carrying plastic bags. They may probably take a bribe from the shop to turn a blind eye.

b. There's no really low cost and convenient alternative in many cases - in spite of a lot of shops in India using recycled newspapers for packaging.

Home delivery which is widespread among the richer classes is at least partially helpful since shops bring things in their own bags. However most of India is not rich

I'm not sure that's right. We see countless articles, usually originating on university websites, that are PR pieces about research studies. These get reprinted across a wide range of science-content farm sites, which tend to be pretty low quality, but I'm not sure they're copying without permission. It seems more that the system is designed to work this way.
I think part of the answer is going into the office, just not necessarily your company's. You can still get the dedicated desk, large monitor, coffee & snacks and adult interaction but without all the distracting co-workers.

> I don’t see the average garbage-collected language using a virtual machine allowing for a target higher than 60fps realistically.

But... "average garbage-collected language using a virtual machine" doesn't describe any of C/C++, Dart, Go, Java, Python, or Rust. Nor Javascript.

I get greater than 60 fps with my existing Vive three.js WebVR-ish electron/chromium linux stack. Even on an old laptop with integrated graphics (for very simple scenes). Recent chromium claims 90 fps WebVR, and I've no reason to doubt it. So 60 fps "up to 120fps" seems completely plausible, even on mobile.
If you make tax too high then people would steal. They would buy without receipts etc. Better to ban inflow of plastic consignments of plastic, close plastic factories in city limits and keep a tab on businesses. It works decently in Bangalore.
You don't live the remote work system therefore it fails for you. I also think that when you mix remote and office work there is always something which some people will miss out in conversation and people will start reinventing the wheel. Look e.g. at GitLab and especially GitLab's Handbook... they work remotely and tend to write everything down. Nothing against office work but I've seen way to often that mixed remote and office workers situation fails.

But every open source project has standards about what they merge. Try getting a patch into Linux and see what they say; it won't be a rubber stamp.
