I've never worked for Google, but in every company I've worked for, when productivity was considered low or something, developers and designers weren't to blame for the low productivity.

1. We had 26 teams and 16 meeting rooms, and we often didn't have rooms for meetings. How was this fixed? They created a new meeting room.

2. After the discovery of "low productivity", a new meeting was created, obliging all teams to participate in meetings on "the reasons for low productivity"

3. The most productive week is the week when all scrum managers have been in training for one week.

But the accusations always came to the development team...It was hell on earth.

Probably something similar is happening at Google.
Not a startup, but I have domains serving both b2b and b2c and don't see any downside.

Chipletz: The Smart Substrate
If the government took the supplier to court for supplying counterfeit parts it would most likely be in civil court[0]. The standard is preponderance of the evidence[1], which is much lower than that in criminal court:

> Under the preponderance standard, the burden of proof is met when the party with the burden convinces the fact finder that there is a greater than 50% chance that the claim is true. This is the burden of proof in a civil trial.

If the supplier were criminally liable (as they also can be, for trafficking in counterfeit goods or services[2]) then because the bar is higher the prosecution would (should) only move forward if they believe they have the requisite evidence to meet that standard.

As it is, the widow is taking the suppliers to court in civil court[3]:

> Now, two years later, the 32-year-old has filed a federal civil lawsuit against defense giant Lockheed Martin, Collins Aerospace and several sections of Teledyne Technologies, alleging that components of her husband's ejection seat may have been counterfeit, leading to his death on June 30, 2020.

The aforementioned law was passed in Dec 2011 by the House of Representatives, which the Republicans held a majority in, and the Senate, which the Democrats held by a slim majority[4][5].

I'm not sure what your comment is about other than trying to appear knowledgeable through cynicism. Ironic that you would complain about others' HN comments.

Even EMV contactless is designed to work offline. There's no need for the mag stripe at all anymore unless you encounter a truly ancient card terminal. The last time I remember encountering one was at a toll booth in Italy around 2011 or so. And the transaction was immediately declined by my UK bank!

And when they mix the two things get interesting. Having topless women selling (cow’s) milk was a very strange experience as a “prudish” American.
Rezoning land from 40ft height limit to unlimited would probably 10x the land value, in SF.

It seems obvious that reducing zoning would increase the value for the owner so I think blaming them for being stupid works out.
I've seen it happen first hand.
If you think about it "squandering" isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It could he rephrased as "Lord Ben the 8th redistributed the families wealth to many other citizens, resulting in the family being reduced to the status of a regular family."

In other words its not like the heirs literally piled up all the money and burned it (removed it from the economy). Rather its used in the context that they spent it on goods and services, which in turn were supplied by others.

A fancy yacht purchase keeps boat builders employed (and a very diverse supply chain) then needs a crew, moorings, helicopter pilot, and so on.

Wealth is not a bad thing, spending wealth is not a bad thing, its the hoarding of wealth, and in some cases the way it was obtained, which are bad.

Of course when spent on social issues, aka politics, whether you consider it well or badly spent depends on your politics.
I understand why people want to erase hard drives permanently and totally. My point was more about, isn't it a little weird to do so after the FBI says they want to look into the status of said devices.
IBM I believe kept a research group around for 2 years and let them work on whatever they wanted. Results? Basically nothing. So they disbanded the group.
All rail infrastructure should be mapped, even streetcar tracks.

Mag stripe needs to die anyways. It is such a glaring security issue, I openly welcome any effort towards getting rid if it.
My 13 Pro is so good, and it sounds like there are still issues with 48 megapixel photos (a lag in processing the files, compatibility.) I'll wait till the next model.
Here are my straight forward thoughts

1. don't like the name. I don't know how to say it. You dont have to have a great name, but could do better. MySpot, Park Now, etc. Make it more obvious. Can change name later if going to expand what user can rent/rent out.

2. the beginning is confusing showing instanbul and some other place. Show a packed street close up or a car parking (sure stock video sites have some better choice than what you have)

3. The picture of guy on scooter is confusing, is this a map app? Scooter don't have the parking problems cars do. Just use the same pic of guy in car with dog as you have in the app.

4. Not being able to hit enter when putting info is a bit weird. The arrows are there just would be nice to hit enter also.

6. 10 steps to rent out your spot is a lot. If can't reduce, maybe just don't mention it takes 10 steps, makes one want to give up before starting.

5. all these are all things that can be fixed with out to much pain. Biggest problem of course is chicken and egg.
>> It’s convenient for bar owners and patrons

LOL. It's convenient for bar owners. Patrons doesn't give a shit about that.
Or do neither. I'm not going to have technical discussions where whoever is louder wins.
We are on the same page. I do think there are some gains, although I question the use of "permissionless" blockchains (we have to remember to add this caveat now since we decided 90s tech should now be called "permissioned blockchains"). A simple published ledger ("immutable append-only", like CT logs) seems like a much easier route. If nodes care enough, they can poll it and alert when the tip changes in a way that should not be allowed.
The problem is concentration of wealth to the point there are negative impacts elsewhere in society.

Bezos didn’t get rich in a vacuum. He did it by pushing warehouse workers to the brink of sanity and physical collapse. By making drivers per in bottles instead of taking bathroom breaks. Etc.

And then there’s Zuck. Does FB/Meta really provide value to society that warrants his wealth? Sire, within the confines of the rules we have in place it does. But that doesn’t mean we can’t question those rules.

I don't see this really addressing the fact that deleting data permanently after you find out the FBI wants to look at those devices is a bit weird.
They asked me for an alternative, and I'm giving low value comments by saying I don't have one?

Not all comments need to add to the original discussion. Saying I do not suggest someone uses Upwork and giving my first hand experience of using the platform adds some value to someone.

It's certainly a part of it. A comment I left 4 months ago[0]:

"After watching far too many videos comparing the iPhone 13 Pro Max, Samsung S22 Ultra, and Pixel 6 Pro, I decided against the iPhone because of the automatic skin smoothing.[1]

The iPhone 13 Pro Max removed wrinkles, sun spots, moles, hair, etc to the point where the results looked like overprocessed, manually edited photos. This wasn't subtle -- the reviewers commented on it as well.[...]"

[1] A responder in that thread took issue with my calling this skin smoothing. Whether this is intentional skin smoothing or overly aggressive noise reduction, the impact on the image is noticeable.

Is it really a better deal than selling the graphics cards?
Batteries are a consumable. If you're happy with the iPhone 12, just get a new battery for $80 and then you're good to go for a few more years.
I agree with you. Can't really specify why, but I've always preferred just using the laptop, even when there is an external screen available
More Internal (or external) audits in this case would have no impact. The organisation performing the tests was most likely performing their own internal audits, had that process certified and demonstrated that satisfactorily to certifiers and customers. The only way to counter the risk of a rogue operator trying to cover their tracks is to have a second run from another operator (the risk is then the organisation not the individual), or ideally, and more expensively, have another organisation perform the same tests and a third party confirm an absence of discrepancies.

I would prefer the latter as standard but audit is always a trade off between peace of mind and cost. You can demonstrate that a process is superior and mitigates known risks (however unlikely they are) but there will be those that despite operating under in "no failure" environment will ignore the low likelihood, high impact risks because their risk process puts it in the "green" and there are far more pressing things to spend attention and money on.
I remember bad capacitors being quite a problem a few years ago for laptops and other systems. They would blow a year into service.
Just pick a random cellular provider, visit their website, and that’s it? Do they have the cheap pay as you go plans available? Honestly don’t know - we’ve always gone to the local Tesco and asked the sales clerk for a sim on whatever service works best in whatever town we’re in.
Someone could replace it with Wikipedia II for 5% the cost or less. A tiny fraction of spend is on hosting and site maintenance.
Health insurance and medical care are all highly regulated industries with exceptionally high cost of entry; one could call it a broken market. It's not competitive at all. I always marvel at how much better the whole experience is when I take my dog to the vet than when I myself go see a doctor, and can't help but wonder if there wasn't so much state intervention (or even just wiser intervention) in medicine, my experience would be different.

Forms of insulin for which the patent has expired are affordable. The stuff under patent is expensive but objectively better at its job. One could argue that the forms in between (patent recently expired but not widely available as generics in the market) are again due to the result of onerous regulations keeping competition out of that market.

Telecommunications, at least the hardwired kind, is a natural monopoly and I wish some smarter incentive-structuring would take place in that market; maybe public ownership of the infrastructure with competitive private service providers operating on top of it. Wireless is generally more competitive and you can actually be online for less money than you think.

I'm not sure what your point was about Google? You certainly don't have to use their services.
This is basically the transit or ÖPNVKarte layer on https://www.openstreetmap.org/.

I do. I do development all day and it’s not a problem for me. I just run every window maximized under os x with multiple desktops. Easy to close the lid and open it wherever without having to worry about those windows on all the other screens.
In large, because minorities are likely under represented in management. And it is well established that, if there are not minorities in the selecting process, than you can expect them to be selected more for stuff like this. Even if, objectively, they are no worse than the majority.

So, again, the wording is poor. And if they are just choosing who to let go based on race, that is bad. However, it makes sense to take an active oversight to make sure you don't have white managers, for example, just letting go all of their black reports. (And the reverse is also true. Though, again, likely not as prevalent. Not because minority people can't have prejudices; but because they are likely underrepresented in the roles. )
Bullish towards ETC, not necessarily (and likely bearish towards) ETH
I'm not sure if you're aware but the places where the rail lines (the coasts) are pretty much 80% of the Australian population. Australian rail is... not the greatest, but there is rail where people actually live.
The intellectual property they train an algorithm with and charge money for. This is some real mental gymnastics.
Your example doesn’t work because you’re just pointing out some positive aspect, it doesn’t make it not robbery. In my case the difference between firing a white person and retaining a black person changes the nature of the act as it’s viewed by the law. What is in the mind of the person carrying out an act that affects different races disproportionately matters. And if we’re we following precedent this would probably be allowed as another narrow case.

So I don’t disagree with your overall point but I also don’t think anyone is going to win a lawsuit over this without a huge case that makes it to scotus because the practice of diversity hires is common and currently tolerated. And “we looked at all our employees and chose who to retain” is isomorphic to regular affirmative action.
I remember using some of those early Windows Mobile gadgets. They were pretty nice and decently capable compared to the rest of the mobile device market at the time. Problems included:

1. UI was stylus-only resistive touchscreen and basically ordinary Windows with a little duct tape to not be too awful on small screens. Still far from good though, and the styluses were clunky and easy to lose.

2. IIRC virtually no custom software and what there was was tough to install, and probably tough to develop too.

3. Web tech just not ready yet for a quality mobile web, not to mention the quality of cellular data and WiFi.

Apple took the market because they were the first to realize and really go all-in on needing finger touch screens and the absolute requirement to make every single part of the UI great to use with fingers. And also hit the market at just the right time for mobile web and cellular data to be just coming into its prime.

Fortunately for Android, they were only a little behind and got the idea on finger-first UIs once Apple showed the way.
Google should be investing everything in next generation AI smart assistants and search. Otherwise it’s dead. Search is otherwise overrated.
More reason to have fewer employees.
Definitely worth watching the video. Even though the results not surprising, it is still amazing to see how well the interior space around the 2009 driver stays intact. And how much the space around the 1959 drive does not.

From the article:

> According to safety engineers at the scene, the driver of the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu would likely have suffered slight knee injury. The driver of the 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air would have died instantly.
Prefer it? Nope. A second (and sometimes third) screen increases my productivity. In fact, I recently pitched up a small portable 15" screen for when I'm away from my desk. It's only HD but for $100 to $150 it was worth it.
This is the type with the silver stripe printed on rather than embedded in the plastic?
I switched to T-Mobile last year and they basically insisted on a physical SIM card. They told me I wouldn’t get 5G with an eSIM. That sounded like BS, but I was never able to figure out why they would care what time of SIM I used.
Yes, for many there are no advantages, but I think this goes too far.

For example, playing people interest to keep a ledger seems kind of new?
> Prove my client knew it was fake, remember innocent until proven guilty + beyond reasonable doubt

It’s a civil case against the contractors not the government, it carries a much lower burden of proof, just needs to prove preponderance of the evidence (more than 50% chance of the claim being true).

Plus you have discovery and depositions to help build your case.

Oh and if they don’t comply with discovery, well then the judge will just find them liable and then the case will just be about how much money they owe (see the Alex Jones cases going on right now).
Yes, though a cachegrind profile would be nice to show...
> There are other much sooner limits.

Yes, that's my point. Arguing about the economic problems of the 25th century is at best a toy exercise in sci-fi mathematics/physics, and at worst a dangerous distraction from solving real problems that exist today.

> There are enough resources for everyone to thrive, we just have to stop giving them to liars as a reward for already having some.

This I agree with 100%, and it would have made a much more productive topic for an article.
This is great just from a prompt engineering perspective. Now I can see what labels are typically like for the types of images I'm looking for instead of guessing.

Inventing a technology and building a profitable business on top of it are very different things that require very different skill-sets. Besides, there is no evidence to suggest that private money cannot fund basic research of the type that the government does.

Um, yes — it is their job. Most will be easy and some will be harder.

I understand that some small subset of people can have different public-facing roles. Perhaps the solution is to allow two accounts for each? After all, one can have one for your person and one for your company.

Nope. The more a few individuals go out of their way to glorify a language on HN, the less relevant the language usually is. Nobody writes glowing posts about C/C++ and yet those languages absolutely dominate the software the world runs on.
~175,000 employees. They can probably run the company just fine with tens of thousands fewer employees. But, when it comes to productivity / profitability, it really doesn't seem so bad, frankly; consider:

2018 operating income margin: 22.9% ($31.4b op income)

2021 operating income margin: 30.5% ($78.7b op income)

And they nearly doubled sales in three years, from 2018 at $136.8b in sales to $257b at the end of fiscal 2021. That's something beyond astounding for a company so big.

This reeks of Sundar and top management worrying about their jobs, trying too hard to please Wall Street.
I find it odd that they're so unreliable in the US given they're neither new nor complicated technology and have a decade of use in Europe before they even started gaining adoption in the US, but I'll take your word for it.

I'd be interested to see if we can work together in some way, i'm founder of https://text-generator.io which also crawls links to the web/images to generate better text: https://text-generator.io/blog/text-generator-now-researches...

Some people self host it, so it can solve some subset of the questions, the image understanding part is important, both it can understand a question with image e.g. if a user drops a fridge to search by image, or multiple images (e.g. which of the 10 images is the nicest looking fridge in 1 API request) as well. Also supports getting shared embeddings for images/text/code, which can be important for the information retrieval/question answering example where it needs to first find the relevant context on wikipedia then feed to the reader model to read it out

Also do other custom stuff like retraining etc.
