Another tombstone goes up: https://killedbygoogle.com/ It’s a legit risk to be basing anything on a Google product or service. Know too many stories of people or companies getting burned when Google wakes up one morning and

A lot of companies do things like this where they pretend to be another company to scoop in business as a middleman. Recently googled a tradesperson and called the number on the top result that came up. It quickly became clear that I wasn’t

Clickbait headline. This is how it works with nearly all content you “buy” (music, movies, software, ...) You’re not buying the thing, rather you buying a license to use something. That license has terms. This is nothing new and nothing spe

A lot of companies that care deeply about security are moving to this “trust no one” approach which has the added benefit for end users of allowing access to “secure internal sites” over the plain old internet. If done right this can all be

Not to sound harsh but the company just seemed to have the wrong leadership making the wrong decisions at the wrong time. Failing with a well capitalized streaming service during a pandemic is a bit like failing to sell ice cold lemonade to

The vast majority of what companies brand as “AI” is nothing more than basic BI reporting with some fancy marketing. The disappointment comes more from the realization that the “AI” that was purchased or deployed is just this. Like other po

These letters come across as the company being a jerk, but in most jurisdictions one has to aggressively defend your trademark or you can lose it by others showing its in common use without objection. If it’s a legit purpose and not some sc

Not sure I’ve ever seen a chatbot that was actually useful. Not taking about things like Slack integrations where I can type commands to make things happen as that’s different. But actual chatbots have only ever left me with a lesser optini

Interesting read. It does highlight though that this style of investing is very much dependent on hitting home runs and grand slams—-whereas you’re typical SPY investment is a series of steady base hits. All is well until you miss a few pit

If you read further down the Twitter thread you’ll see others point out that AWS actually DID acknowledge him in the release and thus his original rant isn’t accurate. He acknowledges that later in the thread. Of course the, now inaccurate,

Guy writes some open source code and puts a license on it saying others can use it as they please. Someone else uses it. Guy goes on Twitter to complain someone used it without credit. In response to rant on Twitter someone points out that

The whole ATC system is based on the underlying idea that stuff isn’t supposed to be in certain places at a certain time. For example the system can operate without radar in zero visibility conditions because it can use a “one in one out” p

IBM went from a great tech company into some sort of overly financially engineered Franken-firm that has tons of employees and yet nobody on the outside seems to know what they really do. Throw in there various expensive hand-wavy marketing

This is interesting on several fronts. One because it’s a really cool discovery. But two because the Nobel tends to avoid situations where the full origin of the discovery is somewhat in dispute until things settle down. If you know the his

This is BS. I enjoy these videos and encourage people to keep making them. It’s a great way to get a better idea of what things really looked like which is hard to do with choppy grainy footage. Historians should be doing everything they ca

There’s this growing reputation that’s Europe has broadly lost the tech race to the US and Asia and so now it’s seeking to be the de facto world regulator of tech as some sort of consolation prize to gain global influence. Not entirely fair

It’s not bad, but it also shouldn’t be the basis of your security model either. There are a lot of parallels with physical security. It’s good to do things to make yourself less of an obvious target but at the end of the day, you should sti

A lot of these numbers are misleading. Things like manufacturing have fled the UK to other countries. This keeps emissions low but the UK still utilizes goods, just made elsewhere. More legit numbers would show the total amount of consumpti

If student loan debt was treated like any other debt then few if any students would get loans, unless their parents had assets to put up as collateral. So long as the financial burden of education falls on the student first then this is unl

I honestly don’t get the point of this. It’s nearly as expensive as Prime but gives you a lot less. Their inability to explain the value proposition when asked that question by a reporter isn’t showing a great deal of confidence in the offe

We’re going to see a lot of mathematically correct but potentially misleading headlines as things start to tick back up during the recovery. If you tell the average person “X dropped by 50%.” And then next month “X surged by 50%” they’d thi

I don’t see the market being very favorable toward floating another “geriatric unicorn” with this sort of financial profile. I also continue to not understand what their product really is and if it’s actually valuable. They seem to just thr

I hear you. At the end of the day though a little more effort on front end setup is infinitely better than the time wasted later on when you have to rebuilt everything every time Google decides to get rid of another product / service &

As you mention my understanding is that that there’s one service no longer offered to new customers but they are still supporting it for those that were using it. This is a big difference between AWS and Google’s approach to customers. A nu
