Security is the big problem, even if not international. You essentially have to connect computers with trade secrets (source code, CAD files, etc.) to the internet, which is a big no-no.

If you go international, then you are probably dealing with a legal system that is stacked against you. The government probably even intends to divert your trade secrets to fully domestic (relative to them) companies, and will apply pressure to "your" employees (who may even be government agents) to make it so.
You hear that Adobe? You now have a lot of potential costumers to sell your Creative Cloud package to.
I bet those Chromebooks are selling like hot cakes and many schools would love to offer training for your tools.
As a side benefit, you'd get a lot of neglected Pro Apple costumers (well, one at least), which would love to use some blessed by Adobe Linux distro.

Being able to run a code editor is a statement of a machine's power and system optimization?

Nate Silver is a statistical analysis expert, not particularly an election expert.

Really, for all the elections that year? What about 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014?

Where can we see your historical set of outcome predictions to validate their superiority?

Nate Silver has been right more often than coin flipping.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (and even on the GCE parts).

No conspiracy here, we were simply late to market on the V100 Beta. As many have noted, we also hold a really high reliability bar before going to Beta (“Google’s Beta is like AWS’s GA” though I wouldn’t claim that in all cases) and we’ve be in Alpha for months. If you’d like to be included in Alpha offerings drop us a line.

As I’ve said in previous threads: Compute Engine intends to be the best place for computing. That includes the kind of workloads TPUs are tuned for, but it also includes all the stuff that GPUs excel at. That’s not going away, and GCE isn’t favoring one over the other. We sell infrastructure, and we don’t try to (overtly) pick favorites, we let our customers do that.

Hey there, much appreciate the info/specs, and screenshot.

The site was designed using vw-sized fonts to maintain the same user experience no matter their resolution. But for really large monitors/resolutions, it can be jarring when users expect to see tiny fonts and need to scale them up. That said, we will add some CSS for larger monitors to address this, but it's a hack, as vw-width is true to the original design.
Google is so creepy.
Hehe, security by obscure it y.

And in sync links (not TTY's those were mostly async with start and stop bits, more like HDLC style stuff) those nuls were mandatory, you had to send something.
> I don't want personalized news, I use Google News for the exact opposite reason.

That's what I used to use google news for too. Then a few years ago, google "personalized" and "localize"d news to your area and it became pointless. Google news was especially great for international events in the early 2010s because you'd get international sources listed back then. So you could see the difference in coverage between our media and china's media and europe's media and middle east's media of the same event.

Now, google news is just mostly NYTimes and Washingtonpost stories. And considering they espouse the same message on pretty much everything, I stopped using google news.

I understand that google was heavily pressured by the news industry to push traffic to major US news sites, but I wish they would have given us the option to opt out of personalization and localization.

What's even more disappointing is that google search was updated to heavily favor local news. So if I search for "North korea news" or "syria news", the search result is ridiculously skewed to US news' perspective. They used to list forums, messageboards, etc on search for international events, but they scrubbed those from the search results.

Social media used to have alternate/external/foreign sources but after US media pressure, they've also "personalized" and localized.

It's amazing how easily the news industry has pressured tech companies into limiting what the public sees and hears.

I wish there was a news aggregate site which had a page per news event where it listed international coverage of the event.

Remote Jobs That Don't Suck
There are too many remote job boards out there, but I still wasn't happy with them.

The problem is that most jobs that appear on typical remote job boards are only for USA citizens or you have to be in a specific time zone. I feel like that defeats the whole
purpose of remote work.

I ended up creating creating www.remotejobsclub.com - free, weekly newsletter of manually picked remote jobs where anyone from anywhere can apply to.

You are absolutely right about the anxiety and panic taking control. Writing my original post yesterday seems to have fulfilled the function of writing the unsent letter.

Well, it's all about attention. People choose to divert their attention to a tablet because they don't want to attend the people around them. So, i don't think AR will make a difference here, it distracts you with the real world, when all you want is the digital one. The real world is finished already, it can't compete with the digital one in addictiveness.

Magic links are susceptible to man in middle attacks if your DNS is compromised, like on public WiFi, because the reset token is in the URI itself. So you're most vulnerable when you click the link.

I would be interested to see a (opt-in) social experiment by YouTube where they enforce a hard 1.5 hour limit of watching per day.

This would encourage users to ration their time, making the decision of which videos to watch far more conscious and deliberate. Given a small enough ration, users will demand higher quality videos from content creators (whether directly or indirectly). Just take a look at all the click-baity content-farms out there pumping out listicles and "you won't believe...!", not to mention the new phenomenon of "YouTube Face".

If I'm watching a video of yours and you don't cut to the chase, fluffing up the video length in hopes of more favorable ad-revenue treatment, it's going to waste my ration and I'll switch to someone else.

Economics teaches us that value comes from scarcity. Life is short, so you better spend your time wisely. Money is valuable because you don't have unlimited wealth -- instead each purchase is an opportunity cost. We should bake that concept into modern social media and content platforms.

It may play out well for YouTube if users in this experiment end up more happy and more engaged with the content they're watching, and therefore ads are more effective. I question whether ads are as effective as they could be when people are just droning on through hours and hours of clickbait and low-quality content-farm material.

In this age of information over-abundance, maybe artificial scarcity can help.

The conversation here is blowing my mind. People are actually worried that their yubikey might get lost or stolen when likely most of your passwords are already all over the internet. I got an email from Twitter just a few days ago stating that they'd leaked my password. Twitter! Not Joe's Auto-Body who's website is being run by a high-schooler, but one of the pioneers of internet companies. They messed up. Your password is not safer "in your head" than a private key because it is not only in your head (who keeps all passwords in their head anymore anyway?)

Private keys are way, way more secure than passwords for that reason alone. You don't have to give anything secret to a third party.

If that's the one problem this solves and revocation and recovery and 2-factor are all still as difficult and broken as they are now with passwords that's still a huge win.

EDIT: more thoughts. I also really hope that hardware tokens like a yubikey are not required for every site or app. I'd like to be able to keep private keys on my phone or laptop for some things (how many of us keep our ssh keys exclusively on hardware tokens?).

But they should have. Ending support just one version before basically immortality for the phones is just a bad joke.

Especially when the only available alternative starts at 3 times the price. $900 for the smallest Pixel in Germany, fuck that.
Water cooling on their TPU is probably because they cost way more to buy than the extra cost of special cooling. It is also probably to increase “spec” on their new version without the best improvements in hardware/silicon.

> which part of Uber is responsible for damage control

Damage control typically falls in the realm of public relations, not legal. Legal can help inform PR on what to say, but then again, so can any other relevant department, including engineering.

> Uber sat silent for 50 days

I was under the impression this was by request from NTSB. I mean, even your own criticism is that the dashcam video being released prematurely caused the public at large to reach inaccurate conclusions. Investigations take time. We can't have the cake and eat it too.

BTW, the comment you linked to seems pretty representative of the general response to the video: "yes it looks dark, but Lidar should've seen her"
> Silver didn't call a close election, though.

Silver predicted a fairly high probability of a very close election, including a 10.8% chance Clinton would win the popular vote and lose the electoral vote.

No, Silver's model provided a lot more detail than that.

That's almost worse. Can you imagine having an endless conversation with a human sounding bot? Say you work at a super popular restaurant that has most tables booked out for a month or so, and doesn't have anything ready beyond that, and the bot just walks through a semi-endless list of possible options.

I wonder what it sounds like when it runs out of choices, or asked it to get a dinner reservation @ <insert popular place> any evening at any time for the next two months.

The weirdest thing about these trained neural nets too is the small tweaks that break them in very interesting ways. The future is truly a surreal place.
I just downloaded the image it's based from "golang:1.10" according to the Dockerfile - https://github.com/ortuman/jackal/blob/master/Dockerfile

mike@ung:~$ sudo docker image ls|grep golang

794MB...

Should probably base it off an Alpine image instead. Would make it many times smaller.

[edit] In fact, there is a "golang:1.10-alpine" Docker image:

mike@ung:~$ sudo docker image ls|grep alpine
golang 1.10-alpine 05fe62871090 4 days ago 376MB

That product reminded me of Facebook’s M, a Messenger-based assistant that wasn’t able to scale. I guess Fb didn’t have two years ago the tech that Google has now.

M’s key uses cases are probably going to prove essential here: aside from the usual flowers-for-my-wife-on-our-anniversary and other difficult-flights-to-book, basically busy executive stuffs, the massive potential was to deal with painful cancellation processes for your ISP, bank, gym, etc. If Google (or a developper using this API) can handle the intentionally convoluted interactions that those imply, this could be very powerful and make using Assistant the best way to handle some painful cases. Imagine applying for a loan, refinancing, switching to a better phone contract whenever there is a good offer: this technology could advise people to move between services with significant usability moats much faster, and greatly improve competition and our experience.

I wrote an angry email to a Politifact intern after seeing this article: http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2018/apr/03/...

They rated this article as "pants on fire" for reporting on something that came directly from the mouth of a public official. The politifact intern actually reached out to the official in question and he personally confirmed that he gave the outlet bad information, and yet it retains the rating that insinuates intentional lying and misleading. I think it's infuriating that Google is getting away with giving these institutions an elevated voice. They do not hold an ounce of the journalistic integrity that they claim to and they make little effort to be nonpartisan.

edit: The issue isn't with any particular institution, it's the general problem of any authority claiming to be an objective purveyor of truth and Google giving anyone like that an elevated voice. Even if it's not corrupt now, it's corruptible, and it serves no purpose. People need to come to decisions on their own.

(edit: for the record, I feel it is necessary to say that I do not regularly read this blog, I came across the fellowshipoftheminds.com post as a result of seeing the politifact article on reddit, I do not endorse the site in question)
Ever since I bought a Samsung Chromebook Plus for a friend and had a week to play with it, I've wanted Google to do this. This is probably my favourite announcement from I/O this year. I love how simple and well designed Chrome OS is. Now I can get proper access to all the tools I'm used to on Linux while not having to deal with terrible UX when it comes to things like notifications, daily schedule, calendar and mail. This to me looks like the perfect balance between running Linux and macOS.

I'm running Kubuntu on a 1 year old XPS 13 and most things work quite well. I do however miss a nice mail clients, reliable notifications about meetings, daily schedule, etc. I've tried almost everything available on Linux and while some things do work, they either are not reliable enough (with cloud APIs, etc) or are too ugly and clunky to use.

I'll wait for the next Pixelbook before jumping ship. Hopefully, Linux apps support would have matured enough by then.

I recommend finding books based on actual parenting research, rather than collaborative or consensus-based sources. Consensus does not mean truth. There are countless parenting myths bandied about that are based on nothing more than idle blog posts or simple social inertia. Parenting advice is especially susceptible to "feel good" myths which sound like common sense, but aren't actually true. (I've found that most "consensus" advice is just rationalization validating the giver's choices, e.g. saving for college, bedtime routines, etc.)

In my experience, pediatricians often have good advice on relevant books and topics.

Regardless of the tool, “overhaul” and “user interface” should never be combined.

Assuming a brilliant redesign you are still at the very least costing users time to reorient/read docs/ask their friends/complain on Twitter in order to be as productive today as yesterday.

Have we? Take a look at the state of the press in Sweden. It's not much different from China these days. Without freedom of speech, there is no freedom of the press. America is the only country that guarantees either. Although, I will concede that our press isn't much better these days. There's a very real problem when every media outlet in the country is owned by just five companies.
