The problem with this reasoning is that the numbers will start to look a lot less practical if we consider the total number of projects Google has shut down. If we applied this reasoning each time, they'll be out of cash a lot sooner than your estimate.

I'm all for abandoning projects that makes no sense to maintain. But if this happens too often, then somewhere along the decision chain people are missing the mark on what's worth building and supporting. In Google's case, they should probably put a bit more thought into it before releasing something to the public. This situation, to me, is a sign of overconfidence among Google workers about their abilities. In humbler places, they do side projects too but before they start them there's a lot of discussion about the purpose of the project beyond the code and the value it brings. When I saw the list of projects Google had killed, most of those projects looked plain boring to work on and seemed like undergraduate projects. Then again, may be it's it's own strategy to build as many stuff as you can quickly hoping some of them might take off.

Hi HN mods,

I don't want leave unrelated comments. But I have genuine question here.

Why is this article allowed to stay up on Hacker News and be open for discussion ? How is this related to hacker news or hacker/tech culture ?

Is it worrying that Hugary's PM is grabbing authoritarian powers? Sure. Does this have wide implications for Europe? Sure.

But if this article is allowed to stay up. Then why was the post about the House Intelligence Committee Report on FISA Abuses nuked from the front-page last February ?

One would think, illegally spying on a US presidential campaign is pretty worrying as well (its a bi-partisan issue, that could affect both parties, so put down your pitchforks). In fact, such event could undo the underpinnings of the US democracy. A pretty important topic to discuss I'd say.

There are a lot of giveaways and special deals right now for the socially isolated, two obvious ones the opening up of the ACM library and the National Emergency library, but also stuff like the new HumbleBundle for charity to fight covid-19 https://www.humblebundle.com/conquer-covid19-bundle . Any others that you can think of?

In the same period of time, many many people haven't thought that their jobs were vulnerable. The first time this happens, it's perspective-changing. My expectations were set early on when I was laid off from my first job. There are things I certainly didn't do as they were expecting, but that's not necessarily your problem nor was it mine. They gave me the reason that they didn't need me as a full-time employee and could basically outsource it. That's fine. Since then, I've been fired or laid off for various reasons at least 6 times and might be looking at another coming up soon. What it's taught me is that I always need to bet against having stability, simply because there's no evidence to suggest I'll ever have it. It's also taught me to never put my employer before my well-being, and to bet much more heavily on normal friends rather than anyone I met at the company—because when you go, so do they. After every job loss, it took me at least many many months to find new work and much introspection about how much I care about software engineering or whatever. Just because you were laid off doesn't mean you need to learn to be a better person. It just means you'll be on a break for a while.

Dear Thomas:

Thank you for writing to me to share your concerns about law enforcement access to encrypted communications. I appreciate the time you took to write, and I welcome the opportunity to respond.

I understand you are opposed to the “Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (EARN IT) Act of 2020” (S. 3398), which I introduced with Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Josh Hawley (R-MO) on March 5, 2020. You may be interested to know that the Senate Judiciary Committee—of which I am Ranking Member—held a hearing on the “EARN IT Act” on March 11, 2020. If you would like to watch the full hearing or read the testimonies given by the hearing witnesses, I encourage you to visit the following website: https://sen.gov/53RV.

The “EARN IT Act” would establish a National Commission on Online Sexual Exploitation Prevention to recommend best practices for companies to identify and report child sexual abuse material. Companies that implement these, or substantially similar, best practices would not be liable for any child sexual abuse materials that may still be found on their platforms. Companies that fail to meet these requirements, or fail to take other reasonable measures, would lose their liability protection.

Child abuse is one of the most heinous crimes, which is why I was deeply disturbed by recent reporting by The New York Times about the nearly 70 million online photos and videos of child sexual abuse that were reported by technology companies last year. It is a federal crime to possesses, distribute, or produce pictures of sexually explicit conduct with minors, and technology companies are required to report and remove these images on their platforms. Media reports, however, make it clear that current federal enforcement measures are insufficient and that we must do more to protect children from sexual exploitation.

Please know that I believe we must strike an appropriate balance between personal privacy and public safety. It is helpful for me to hear your perspective on this issue, and I will be mindful of your opposition to the “EARN IT Act” as the Senate continues to debate proposals to address child sexual exploitation.

Once again, thank you for writing. Should you have any other questions or comments, please call my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841 or visit my website at feinstein.senate.gov. You can also follow me online at YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, and you can sign up for my email newsletter at feinstein.senate.gov/newsletter.

Best regards.

Sincerely yours,

Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator

Sprint has competed by giving stuff away for free. My wife and I have free (latest) iPhones and are on a plan that’s cheaper than anything their competitors offer. Everything else about them is objectively worse (features, reliability, service coverage). I definitely believe they would not be in business much longer, which is why I’m excited about the merger.

If they had a chance of surviving in a meaningful, competitive way, then I’d definitely disagree with a merger, but I’ve not seen a strong argument that they would.
I had a quick look and found it interesting. Do you have any writeup (on GitHub or elsewhere) on how people connect with each other (since phone numbers aren't used as identifiers) and also how the end-to-end encryption (mainly key exchange) works?
I would like to see this joke continue until it is indistinguishable from satire.
Oh yes, I have heard this too. I know some people who have been “blacklisted” from ever buying IDA because Hex Rays thought they had “associated” with people with pirated copies. They are very selective with who gets the software and how they can use it…
You have it backwards. They can't violate the rules now because it would be obvious. If encryption were allowed it would be impossible to know if a transmission is violating certain rules or not.

The point here is that very few people are using Neighbourly to make it interesting to Google.

Btw, in these days I learned that Duo is still alive. I thought it was dismissed time ago. The page on Google Play says 1B+ installs and still I don't know anybody using it. I mean, nobody ever asked me to make a call using Duo. Everybody is using WhatsApp or Skype for that on mobile. So, to get to the point, very second (or probably, fourth, fifth, etc) in the rankings but not dismissed by Google. I think they value our as strategic. Neighbourly was not. They already have Maps.
They killed and deleted data from Google plus just recently. Tons of data gone forever. Google plus used to be integrated into every part of Google.
This is called Impostor Syndrome [1] and it is more common than you think:

You can use writing (email) to guide your team instead of speaking to help you act rationally instead of emotionally since you are already aware that he (or anyone else) is technically less qualified.

I have over 20 years of experience too, and was a bit like you when I was younger. Then I noticed that 99% (I might be boasting here, but the exact percentage does not matter) of my colleagues have no idea of what they are doing, even though they make themselves look otherwise.

It is, but there’s a chance that the move might cause more “artificial scarcity“, not less.
AFAIK encryption doesn't hide you if you're broadcasting; you can be found with a directional antenna.
As an operator of large wireless networks I prefer to purchase licensed spectrum over using shared bands every single time. It's hard to overstate how much more reliable and performant the network can be when there is some assurance you won't be interfered with.

I have started viewing Google as a miniature SV - a handful of "yugely successful" products, lots of wtf-inducing initiatives, talks about changing the world with a straight face while showing utter lack of imagination...so it is not really surprising that a lot of their initiatives fail, just like a lot of SV startups.
Even if mods don't respond. I think this comment is useful for the community as well.

There is no dedicated meta-discussion section on hacker-news. So it has to happen somewhere.

And no I am not trolling. I do value the high signal to noise ratio on HN, which is why I participate. My comment is meant to make not just mods, but users think about what counts as signal, versus noise on this forum.
I don't think this site places that sort of value judgement. As for "comprehensive", it's a pet peeve of mine when people mean "aspires to be comprehensive"
If Western society can get back out of this without permanently losing significant civil liberties, it will be a pretty strong signal for the viability of our democracies, because we can temporarily suspended rights to counter a credible threat without ratcheting up too much.

It remains to be seen if that will happen. After 9/11 I would argue there was a significant ratcheting effect.
The motivation is to keep (accidental) unlicensed users out of amateur radio service. For example, 2.4 GHz is both an unlicensed band usable under Part 15, and simultaneously an amateur radio band usable under Part 97, these are very different rules. Since amateur radio operators can use any public protocols (including 802.11) on the air, there is a risk of accidentally exchanging communication with devices owned by unlicensed operators (such as your neighbor's laptop), which violates radio regulations. Under this circumstance, some people believed that in the United States, encryption with a key published in a publicly accessible place is allowed (and there are still other people who says it's not allowed, but the debate has never been legally challenged until a high-profile abuse appears in the future, but so far there is none, so currently it is a de facto acceptable practice).

What I would like to see from Google's leaders:

First, put a halt to launching new products. Two, take a cold hard look at existing products and prune them in one fell swoop, rather than this distributed system where projects scale up and down independently, spread across time. It seems individuals are incentivized to launch irregardless if anyone actually cared about that product launching. It's really hard for the orchestration node to say No to projects where there are so many other projects launching that it would seem unfair.

Effectively, saying NO. Just my two cents.

> I would highly advise you learn how to budget better and grow a sizable emergency fund.

Genuinely wondering, do you think that this insight simply hasn't occurred to him? The obstacles to someone spending less money are generally more complicated — even when they're within the person's control at all — than simply "start budgeting better." You're being condescending and providing no value.

Also, I bet that you know more people living paycheck-to-paycheck than you realize.

I appreciate that this high touch approach worked for the author, but I think the most important thing to understand about cold outreach is that it simply won't work 99.9% of the time and plan accordingly.

I did cold outreach for a startup I was working on many years ago. I wasn't even selling anything, just trying to do some research. I called and emailed dozens of people. Nobody responded. I then went and showed up in person at a dozen or so offices of people who I wanted to learn more about. The most polite among them told me they were too busy to talk and when I told them I could wait they asked me to leave. The worst slammed doors in my face and swore at me. I tried a number of different sweeteners. I offered our service for free for varying amounts of time. I even offered hundreds of dollars of cash up front just to speak for 30 minutes. On average I could barely finish one sentence of my pitch before people said no.

The world can be a cruel and dangerous place, and people treat strangers accordingly. Even if your product is amazing or you're offering someone a holy grail, their perceived risk of you is almost always too high for them to trust you. To me, this suggests that the pray and spray approach is a better one: if I double my chances of success from .01% to .02% (and these numbers don't feel too far off) by doing 10 hours of investment per customer, then I'm much better off sending thousands of generic emails. I'd say the author's success in cold outreach was more luck than anything he specifically did. Just my 2c.
European Experts Ready Smartphone Technology to Help Stop Coronavirus
I'm amazed this didn't make many headlines, even here in Canada.

If a politician in the US, UK, etc tried to push an emergency bill that allowed them to tax/spend without any congressional/parliamentary oversight for 1-2yrs it'd be a big deal. Not to mention the current government didn't even win a majority government... so it's hardly the same as some rubberstamp parliament.

I guess because it didn't pass parliament?

Regardless this has to go down as one of the biggest attempted power grabs in the history of Canada.

We're already seeing what that might have meant, a few days ago Trudeau announced any company (even major public multinational companies) that loses 30% of business would get up to 75% of wages covered... the problem was the bill that just got passed said none of that. The bill was limited to small private companies with <$12 million in revenue and had no measures of "lost business" (which makes far, far more sense, why give companies with access to plenty of capital the same help as struggling small/medium businesses? Not to mention "lost business" is very easy to manipulate for big companies).
You are so naive.
