None of these things are shady. The parent was just using them as examples of companies trying to make their employees' lives better as a means of helping to retain them.
I have this strange feeling that some cities will continue to "oporate" after a rise in the ocean like this... Or maybe I'm just thinking of Waterworld.
This is so helpful for those not just asking but those who will have to answer as well. Thanks.

Which questions/responses are most critical to get right and should make someone run for the exit? I imagine there has to be a little flex on some of these.
It's important to note that even before rising sea level makes the land uninhabitable, it's already causing the loss of drinking water aquifers and septic systems to become unusable.

So something that maybe not everyone knows, is that the Norwegian Consumer Council, is the Norwegian governmental entity tasked with protecting consumers right.

I'm not a lawyer, but my take on this, is that this is a governmental agency in a GDPR country, triggering legal proceedings against Google for violating the GDPR.

It is going to be interesting to see how this pans out, and imo. this case is going to be a defining case on what the GDPR is in practice.

Interesting! Are those low frame rates visible in graph constrained by energy savings/minimizing work or caused by performance issues?

The "if they knew what we know" part or the you can (kind of) buy policy part? If the latter is shocking to you, I have some very bad news for you. (The process would have been more difficult and more expensive if the law wasn't genuinely benefiting the people, but still possible.)

Also, Mr. Mactaggart, what a guy!
My understanding is the "pool" is not you, but the general population who also bought the plan, which is probably a less healthier group of people than say your normal technology startup or enterprise company. Also, the state is probably doing worse on negotiating with the insurance companies for rates than compared to big fortune 500 companies.

No, I am not on Google camp, Google did not respect the EULA, Apple was right to apply the EULA, so all was legal and fair as per the Apple and Google contract.

My point is that big EULAs are bad, not controlling your hardware is bad (no matter if is Apple,MS or Google), this incident makes it clear what rights you have with this kind of EULAs
> Obviously I am biased, but I think you're being a little too cynical.

Very possibly.

> Supporting the use case you described, which is not used by the vast majority of users does not align with the incentives given to them.

I think you have causation wrong here. Users leave search history enabled because Google makes it unnecessarily hard to use the app with it disabled.

> Recently, Google updated its values (I can't find it externally but I hope you'll believe me). One of these values is "Respect the User".

I have no reason to disbelieve you.

> Ignoring whether the specific feature is the best use of engineering time even for this value, the reality is that values mean nothing without incentives.

If the values mean nothing without incentives, they aren't values, are they?

> You don't get a great performance rating for following the values, you get one for impacting some large percentage of users or improving the performance or conversion rates.

So what you're saying is "there's no incentive for allowing the user to have a good experience using the app without sending us data", or did I get that wrong? That doesn't sound awesome.

> Having users share location data, admittedly at the expense of privacy, provides a superior experience.

Especially when you don't bother providing a similar experience without people's data.

Ultimately, this isn't a question of "which would make Maps better, if users shared their data or if they didn't?". That's not your choice to make, so it's a question of "the user doesn't want to share their data, do we bother to make the experience good for them or not?"

If your answer to the latter is "No", I don't care if your values say "The User is the Alpha and the Omega, thou shalt have no other priorities before the User", it's a red herring because you aren't following your values, you're following the money.

Jargon | Sr. Software Engineer | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | https://www.jargon.com

At Jargon we're building the tools developers of voice applications (e.g., Amazon Alexa skills or Google Assistant shortcuts) need to manage their content, reach global users, and build compelling, engaging experiences.

We're looking for a talented Sr. Software Engineer that's interested in working on all aspects on our products, from the SDKs we provide to developers (such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jargon/alexa-skill-sdk), the backend of our voice conversation platform, and internal and customer facing websites.

We have an ambitious roadmap to build the tools that voice publishers need to take full advantage of the burgeoning voice market and would love for you to join us on the journey.

Experience developing for voice platforms (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana, etc.) is a plus but by no means required.

I believe UW is the reason I'm in IT today. It was the first computer game I was obsessed with enough that I had to learn how to upgrade, maintain and optimize a PC. It was our family PC so, naturally, it got messed up a lot.

I remember that I was playing UW when I found out my Grandma had passed, the first family death I was old enough to remember. I was also playing it when my first GF had her friend call me to announce she was breaking up with me.

I'm looking for Co-Founder/CTO opportunities to join an existing startup/strong idea/influencer.

I'm a CS and MIT Sloan graduate, worked at UBS Investment Bank and McKinsey&Company for ~1 year.

Before, I built a solid track record of...
- Launching the #1 math app in the world, "King of Math" for Android from 0 to >10'000'000 users - EXITED
- Launching Switzerland's #1 biggest language school (learn-swiss-german.ch), built from 0 to several 1'000 new annual paying students - EXITED
- Launching Germany's SeekingAlpha.com (AlleAktien.de), scaling to 1 mn users with some of Germany's biggest social media influencers and 2 billionaires

I love building new companies, iterating fast, and launching MVPs in a matter of days to test hypotheses. My strengths are in launching fast and building strong trust-based relationships with partners and influencers.

If you're currently looking for a (tech) co-founder or know someone who does, I'd love to hear more about you. Let's talk!

Great resource, thanks
Very true. the first versions were very straightforward and only later on they did stuff like connecting saving a location with location tracking. From casual observation I even think they turned this on and off several times. They still show me some locations I saved years ago but I can't modify them or add new ones.

The annoying part is that google maps is really good at searching locations. None of the open source alternatives can do stuff like "Indian buffet Venice" so I often have to use Google maps to find something. Once I have the location saved I would say OpenStreetMaps apps are totally competitive.
As a somewhat parallel to "fake news vs real news, pay for it", some folks involved in the production [and likely the distribution] of pornography have associated "ethical porn" with paying for porn. They derided the "tube sites" for obvious reasons. Personally, I've heard of this stance more from certain porn actors than production houses if that's of any consideration, but I'm not blind.

And no, I have no idea what "fake porn" might be, if such a thing exists.
Most glaciers have friction points that keep the ice from sliding down too fast, to resist the enormous pressure of the built up ice sheets flowing downward from higher up. A typical glacier might be more narrow than it is long so the sides will be a source of friction. The ice will usually be in contact with the ground beneath it, causing even more friction. And there will frequently be islands or undersea ridges that can cause floating ice sheets to back up and keep the glacier from moving forward.

The worry is that in some cases melting glaciers may be released from these friction points causing an accelerated movement and rapid calving at the ice front. This will cause an even faster increase in sea level on top of the gradual thermal ocean expansion and freshwater runoff of meting ice that we are already experiencing.

An example of this is the Larson ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula that have had a series of collapses already. But luckily the Larson ice shelves do not have a huge sheet of ice behind them since the peninsula is rather narrow.

Thwaites Glacier has been identified as a potential "perfect storm" for global warming caused sea level rise. It has a wide (90-100 mile) ice front and and there is no narrowing or potential bottle-neck from side to side. It has an enormous ice mass behind it reaching to the center of West Antarctica. The main friction point currently holding it back is the grounding line where the ice meets the sea floor.

Between current grounding line and the center of West Antarctica there only seems to be one other ridge, known as the "Ghost Ridge" which is one of the subjects of the current expedition to determine if it is a true bedrock ridge or just silt and sediment deposited by the glacier. If the basin does in fact extend all the way back, the concern is that warm ocean water can work it's way under the ice and cause melting from below. As the ice melts it will float allow more water underneath. Meanwhile the ice front will calve and expose an even steeper front that will become unstable due to the height of the ice front. The icebergs will be washed out with the tide causing the process to continue.

Here is the most recent talk by Richard Alley I've found on the subject:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE9Gqy8Yy9w
I think it's safe to have some skeptism here. Pierre Paul-Hus said the Americans "laughed" when asked about Canada's ability to test the equipment. Mr Paul-Hus is a member of the opposition party and we are 7 months out from a federal election.

The non-political person in the room, Christopher Parsons, said the Americans expressed “some skepticism”.

I'm a relatively fresh grad working in development for a university. It's slow. It's stable. It's not very sexy. I could probably double my salary elsewhere. But, my conscience is pretty clean for this very reason. I build tools to make university operations more efficient, not to squeeze every last drop of data from our users or manipulate them into buying a product.

There are definitely problems to be addressed in higher ed and how universities are run, but it's nowhere near Silicon Valley's lack of ethics.

Were you watching TV when Trump instituted the 'Muslim Ban'? Every good thinker tripped over themselves to (mis)characterize it as such and defend Islam.

Look at the party affiliation of all the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestine, pro-hijab, pro-middle east migration politician in America.

Just the other day a Muslim Democratic Congressperson from Minnesota compared Israel's treatment of Muslims to the South's treatment of blacks under slavery. By the way when she was a state representative, she helped defeat legislation that banned female circumcision and to my knowledge she's never condemned the practice.

Not every American leftist defends retrograde Muslim culture, but the only people in America who defend retrograde Muslim culture are leftists.
