Google, for example, let 3ve’s counterfeit websites earn
revenue through its ad systems and later refunded its partners
for ads that ran. “We actually lose money in this process
because we do have to pay out,” Spencer said. (He declined to
say how much the company paid out in refunds to partners or
to the fraudsters directly.)

Partners, in this context, would refer to the advertisers. We also work with WhiteOps, standard operating procedure is to refund/rerun the traffic WhiteOps flags as fraudulent.

Your logic seems weird to me. His company was promised a service that was unable to be fulfilled because a Government program for making available talented non-citizens actually failed. He is suggesting that the program be run as expected. While you seem to be saying it’s ok to let in unqualified folks because they will ultimately always make a positive economic impact before inevitably getting kicked out.

China’s foreign policy is not benign. It is currently using its economic muscle to force 65 sovereign nations into debt traps that reproduce the unequal treaties and extrajudicial leases of late-stage colonialism.

FWIW, I had a very similar interview process with google. First time I interviewed I didn't make it through committee. They called me back a year later and said that it was because all of the positions had filled (which seems suspect to me).

In general, no one that I interacted with is someone who I would have wanted to work with.

All of Europe is about 1/3 of Google's sales. The US is close to 50%. The EU minus the UK is probably more like 25%.

They could certainly rationally abandon the EU market if the fines continue to outpace what the entire EU search market is worth in profit. If you're Google and you can stay somewhere close to break-even on the fines, it's worth staying in the market just to suppress potential competition.

The ideal solution however is the for the US to respond by targeting EU companies, for example Volkswagen and Deutsche Bank (soon to be nationalized as it's collapsing) as two they've already very clearly gone after.
And why is that when many of their employees are from Europe?

The antitrust cases were lost for a reason.
Wait so you’re saying that someone who puts in the effort to earn a graduate degree should not benefit from having had the initiative and putting in the work to earning this qualification?
When people decide to send ideas to be turned into things in China, what's being removed is labour value: it's too expensive to make something in the USA, compared to China.

The cost of labour and compliance with health and safety is the main factor.

Is it surprising the Chinese industrialist looks at the rate of profit for these goods sold in the USA and tries to copy them, and secure some of that gap between cost (of production) and price?

So now, thinking like a US consumer, which is better? The iPhone sold by Steve jobs, or the cheaper phone with stolen IPR? What if the stolen IPR is totally ephemeral and only about the GUI?

Most countries give somewhat preferential treatment to graduates of their own Universities (including most European ones). Why shouldn’t the US?

Foreign graduates who earn a degree from the US have:

* already contributed to the American economy
* demonstrated some amount of “success” in American education and social system
* likely have created social and work networks that allow them to succeed after graduation

So from the perspective of choosing folks who are both 1) Skilled and 2) Will likely adapt/succeed in American society and economy, the case for favoring US University degrees seems reasonable.
They do and pretty reliably. The devs of the srsLTE stack even have this neat CI setup where they test the codebase against commercial hardware:

Yes you need to burn a SIM card, but that's it basically. srsLTE and other "homebrew" eNodeB software is standards-compliant and your smartphone will most likely connect.

In practice, you need to worry about legal restrictions -- you're not allowed to transmit on common LTE bands.

Not sure how this will actually look in the future. Is the office mobile network physically separated, or do you use the public network with special SIM cards that connect to a virtually separated mobile network?

Fraud is priced in on the industry.

Advertisers assume a percentage of their money is going to be wasted on bots, networks (like Google) assume they will misidentify a percentage of impressions and have to reconciliate the numbers, but also that they'll miss some.

It's very easy to demonise Google and think they stand to benefit from this all, but in reality they are hurt by it as much as anyone else, and if there was guaranteed zero fraud in their network they could raise prices and increase profit.

Thought experiment:

1. Candidate interviews and gets to the final rung of the ladder.

2. Name of candidate gets input into Google's "Final Rung" algorithm.

3. The "Final Rung" algorithm cross checks the candidate's name against all of that candidate's data from the Googleverse.

4. What the algorithm checks for is a black box to the hiring team. Only "1" or "0" is output.

5. Google then either accepts the candidate or goes back through the application looking for "clues" for why the algo output a "0".

What is the argument for Google not doing what I just described above?

> China in many ways has exhibited a path to a more benign and progressive foreign policy

This guy is joking, right?
I think the acronym Google always misses out on is KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) because no one there is "stupid." If you only hire geniuses, no one wants to write documentation or do things the boring/easy way that would create more maintainable software.

Instead everyone there has to use the latest framework or best practices, then re-engineer things to prove they deserve their top-performer salary.

I think the first Google Hangouts was written in Angular 1? Code rot from frameworks like that will ensure the product will die in 5 years at a company like Google. Everyone at Google is a "top-performer" so they want to use the latest development tools and shiny things and no one wants to upgrade/maintain 5 year old code written in an old framework.

I think a lot of other companies get around this by hiring less than top performers. Those types of coders will maintain legacy systems because they don't have as much pride. So I think it's mainly a problem that Google has a culture of tech elitism, instead of a culture that focuses on user satisfaction.

Is this UTF-16(BE|LE) and UTF-8 mixed?

I'm unclear about the context you're proposing. If you're trying to match for a Unicode character in either UTF-16 bytestream dialect then determining the matching format first is important. The mixed format just seems too crazy to touch.
The argument is Google should put said "Final Rung" algorithm up at step 0 (which would be entirely possible for a GPA issue). Alternatively, Google should not give a verbal offer until the "Final Rung" algorithm returns a 1.

Former US President George HW Bush Dead at 94
Very similar thing happened to me.

This was about 15 years ago, and I had joined a startup while I was in college. I had started off with a 3.7 GPA my first 2 years, but eventually work became more important to me than school, so I did everything I could to just get a diploma as quickly as I could. I took a bunch of classes pass/fail, got my advisor to help push forward credit for "independent studies," and eked by with some Cs. (I graduated a 4 year program in 3 years.)

Despite the GPA slip, the Ivy League school I went to was quite happy with my story and sent a reporter out to interview me for the graduation edition of the paper calling me "one of their best and brightest" -- I was grouped in with about 10 other students in a class of 4k+. They cited the fact that I paid my own way through school by working for a startup as something they felt was impressive.

Fast forward a year. We sold the company, and I applied for a job at Google. Did a few rounds, they went well, and people liked my story about working while in school. I got flown out for interviews, they well -- got through the questions about how many ping-pong balls would fit in an oil tanker, how to divide loot on a pirate ship, and how many times a day do clock hands overlap... And I got a verbal offer! The job was a little entry-level for me, but I was pretty happy. I told the other places I was applying to that I was going to Google.

Then I got a random call from someone who said, "Hey can you send us your official transcript?" Since they had my unofficial transcript, and I had already gotten the verbal offer, I didn't see what the harm was... figured it was just a formality -- mostly because they said it was just a formality and not to worry about it.

Anyway a week later I get an email, "We're sorry but we are passing on you... blah blah." I called the guy who gave me the verbal offer... and was told, "We can't hire anyone who has a sub-3.0 GPA." I had a 2.9 GPA.

So 15 years+ later, I'm still a bit bitter about that. Look, companies can hire whomever they want, but as I get older I see very clearly that GPA is just a conformity metric. It doesn't tell you how smart someone is, or how talented or driven they are. A high GPA just tells you that someone knows how to submit to authority, and put academics ahead of networking. (And a good school typically just means a kid had wealthy parents.)

I think I'm doing OK without Google, but yeah... sucks that in a place that prides itself on being amazingly intelligent that they still have red-tape around what metrics can be used to define intelligence. Bezos said it well, paraphrased: smart minds are flexible minds. Shame Google is still being rigid on this sort of methodology.

This is essentially a hostage situation. Chinese government holds its people as hostage. If google doesn’t give in to censorship demands, people die or suffer from the lack of information.

Some people would argue that Chinese peolple dying is not our problem, and we should stick to our “principles” to force Chinese government to change. Others think that something is better than nothing; even limited information can help people there.

Sadly, this disagreement leads to the worst outcome: Chinese people are deprived from even limited information while there is insufficient pressure to force the government to change course.

I'm neither defending nor criticizing Google's procedures, just what I'd do if evaluating with a candidate with a marginal GPA, and it was my money on the line.
