It's blended into their cost of revenue number with all their other revenue sharing programs (Admob, Adsense, Youtube Creators, etc). From their SEC filings

"Cost of revenues is comprised of TAC and other costs of revenues.

•TAC includes:

◦Amounts paid to our distribution partners who make available our search access points and services. Our distribution partners include browser providers, mobile carriers, original equipment manufacturers, and software developers.

◦Amounts paid to Google Network partners primarily for ads displayed on their properties.

TAC as a percentage of revenues generated from ads placed on Google Network properties are significantly higher than TAC as a percentage of revenues generated from ads placed on Google Search & other properties, because most of the advertiser revenues from ads served on Google Network properties are paid as TAC to our Google Network partners."

It only takes two humans getting it correct once for your statement to be technically true though, demonstrating how easily seemingly innocuous and straightforward language can be misleading.

The opposite statement, humans don't know when "is" means equal is also a true statement, perhaps even more true.

Had me until "Obsidian" - absolute worst thing ever for my ADHD. Hours spent tinkering ... experimenting with plugins. I was on the verge of developing plugins before I realized: I wasn't getting anything done. I gave up and went with OneNote. The freeform canvas is a godsend for my ADHD (I am able to lay things out spatially left and right), but I'm not able to tinker with it as much anymore.
You need to have a note capable phone like a galaxy 23 ultra. You also need a smart watch so you don't turn off your reminders in meetings and to forget to turn back on. Redmine and or jira are your friends. Make a list of all expectations and star the ones that are action items. Ironclad once a day go through the list and either complete or transfer into a task tracking system each starred item and then check it off--don't use the list to manage tasks. If you manage others, do the same and set follow up events for you. Never silence, only snooze alarms unless completed. Set annoying alarms or block out time for heads down work to avoid time blindness for when you hyperfocus. Your Ventromedial prefrontal cortex is not functioning correctly and consequently your planning system needs a wheelchair.

This reflects exactly my day to day struggles.
Especially that productivity boost when every one starts leaving, and I _was not able_ to finished the smallest one of my tasks planned for the day 'til then most of the time.
I'm writing "was not able" on purpose here, because as someone (being blessed) with ADHD, your brain does not allow you to make progress on the smallest tasks due to all those fireworks being blown around you in your brain.

During my part-time studies (I had a 70-80% employment at that time) the time I really started studying productively was after 9-10pm when everyone around me went to finish their day and the world around me started to go silent and night is coming in.
Thinking of it today, I don't know how I would have survived that time without the huge support from my wife back then. So all the credits of me being able to complete my studies go to her!

Nowadays, I would not know how I would get through the day-to-day work without medication most days. That often worries me a little.

Did you have the inability to read books? I notice that I simply cannot focus on reading a book to save my life. I can read internet comments and articles all day though. If I try to read a book I get annoyed that they're "not making their point" fast enough, especially with fiction and visual descriptions of people and places. I used to just complain about it, but now I wonder if thats actually pinpointing something wrong with my brain (such as ADHD). If I'm reading fiction, I do not translate the word "red" with the color, things like that. And usually within 2-3 paragraphs, my eyes are reading the text but my brain is thinking about computers or what I need to get done that weekend. It's awful because I'm missing out on an entire mode of art but I dont know what to do about it. I've only been enthralled in a book once or twice in my 40 years of life.
OMG. I could not do this. I hope it's useful to others, but not for me...at all.

The biggest distraction for me, when working/focusing, is movement at the edge of my vision. You know, like most websites with their moving ads, or fly-out videos that no one asked for, etc.

I'm glad you found your silverbullet, but that specific approach would wreck my productivity.

Can't hack ADHD without first sorting out other problems.

It's treated as a singular issue but in my experience it's not. Here are some factors to consider:

1) Does the person have a quiet place get high quality sleep in

2) How is their relationship with family and significant other

3) Do they exercise - physical stamina helps build mental stamina and helps with clarity

4) Do they eat healthy

5) Anxiety or depression. If we are constantly distracted there's likely a good reason for that. You can't focus on movie if your house is on fire and this fire can be emotional one with unresolved traumas etc.

What we see is only the tip of the iceberg and fixing the roof before we address the foundation won't work longterm.
That would be even more wrong. There has been some fringe suggestions to run UNIX clock on TAI, but that hasn't caught on (probably because it would be contrary to posix). So we are stuck with this mangled utc based monstrosity.

I recently started talking to a therapist again after several years not, this time focusing on ADHD. I never realized until now the sheer number of little tweaks I've integrated into my thinking and behavior, nor the degree to which I've optimized them all for maximum likelihood of actually getting stuff done. No one approach works consistently, but every now and then I get lucky and one does, and that's a real improvement over not doing them.

If you ever forget or wonder if you have ADHD vs being inattentive, just look back at its affects on your romantic relationships and how much it damaged them or made them more difficult.

Not so long ago, every blog has a "blog roll", a list of author’s favorite blogs.

Nothing was better than have your blog in the blogroll of a "famous" blogger.

It is funny how people who didn’t live through this blog era are now reinventing it spontaneously. It’s a bit like bloggers were onto something 20 years ago, before being killed by the advertisements monopolies.

But there’s a big difference between old blogosphere and current blogosphere : old blogs had ads. Most bloggers were experimenting with it, one way or another. We were lured by monetization and killed ourselves in the process.

Younger bloggers seem to have learn about it: let’s do the same old blogs but, this time, without any ads and by actively preventing tracking.

That’s how evolution works, when you think about it. It’s beautiful.
There used to be directories that indexed those, but the flow of spam became insufferable and the money dwindled. Social media with its free content and auctioned advertising took over. The problem with current algorithms is the fact that they favor currency - if you are a Youtube creator and you don’t churn content at a consistent rate, you get less exposure than the new stuff - creating a punishment for old but gold content.

> Blogs limp along through RSS and Atom, but relying on feeds shapes everything you write into a blog entry. It’s stifling, homogenizing. The blogosphere, what remains of it, is incredibly samey.

I don't see this at all: my feeds contain so-called "long form" post and sometimes single-line comments.

AFAICT Gemini is essentially "add non-HTML files to your feed experience". Umm...OK? Certainly this blog post didn't suggest more, and to me wasn't particularly convincing given that I don't even experience (IMHO) the "problem" the author decried.

Discovery is and will ever be a problem, but comments on sites like HN expose interesting things all the time.

> Forget to protect the brand to ensure that people have to include your apps to call it android.

LOL, that's such a wrong take I'm surprised it got so many upvotes. Google didn't forget anything.

1. If Google would have forced their own apps on all manufacturers then they would have been 100% hit by antitrust regulators over this obvious breach, plus manufacturers might not have went the Android route back then, so leaving some room for the manufacturers, went a along way to encourage everyone to trust Google and go on board the Android train, instead of feeling they'll be Google's hardware lapdogs

2. Google is already protected enough by forcing Play services on all Android devices thereby getting a cut on all playstore purchases and ad targeting.

They're not stupid. Google is exactly where they wanted to be.
With additional restrictions maybe it doesn't become the default OS on every non-Apple phone.

Very much agree. That was so blatantly and obviously a copy of Apple's strategy, and was very un-Googley, and it has very negatively affected UX. Not only that but it's stupid, because they torched a very real long-term competitive advantage for a short-term cash grab. They should reverse that immediately.

This was interesting to me, and overlaps a lot with different things on my mind the last few years.

The other day I was talking about something related with my daughter, for example, who was learning about rounding in elementary school — we ended up in a discussion about accuracy in calculations versus "number of operations" very vaguely speaking (in elementary school terms), and the tradeoff, and how you're always rounding at some level in practice, so that tradeoff always exists at some level.

I also do research in information theory, and somehow the topic Tao discusses seems related. In that area, there's always some potential or actual loss of information due to information and computational constraints, things are always being discretized, and some representation always has some information cost. What Tao is talking about is an information cost, but cast in terms of numerical accuracy rather than stochastic terms.

This is all very vague in my head but it seems like there is some path from stochastic information costs of representation to deterministic information costs of representation, along the lines of approximations and limits. People use probabilistic arguments in proofs, for instance, and there's pseudorandom numbers; I imagine you could treat both what Tao is talking about and more traditional information theory problems in the same framework.

I hate having stand-up early am. If you get to work early, there's little motivation to start anything significant just because you'll be soon interrupted. Mid day before lunch is great, you get a sleep period in between two work sessions which often leads to better solutions. Everyone wants to go to lunch so the meeting moves at a quick pace, you have lunch time to decompress and absorb it. There's a morning block and afternoon block for uninterrupted deep work. It gives people a flexible arrive time in the morning, they aren't struggling to make it in for the meeting.

"Life is suffering". Better to accept it. There is joy in life but what you are present for even without training your mind is suffering. It's way easier to recognize and remember than joy.

What do you mean by "natural or within range of possibility"?

One is consistent by doing, not by feeling (of course feelings have their own place in life). I don't enjoy going to the gym per se. I let go of that and go. I don't go because I feel happy and motivated before exercise. First, I went because people for thousands of years have saying so, and biologically it makes sense. Then, because I know how I feel in the short and long term after the exercise.

I do different sports for enjoyment and different for keeping in shape of course. I love hiking but going to a gym is more sustainable as a regular way of keeping in shape in all seasons and weather.
Is this reinventing Google's original "links are votes of confidence" observation? Nothing wrong with that of course.
