A microwave just cooks your input ingredients and if you use non microwave safe containers or food that is not suitable for it, you get edible but hazardous food. Garbage in, Garbage out. There are minimum expectations on user like ability

Is there a way to ELI5 Google's primary business model without it coming across as spying on people? Very few have the same problem among FAANG and others.

Its like companies handing over race cars to delivery drivers and telling them to drive responsibly but unofficially tell them that they expect reduced delivery times due to faster cars. Do you think the average rate of accidents will stay

I've seen a variation of this where random engineers are pulled into production incident calls and engineers are not expected to be familiar with the system. They were asked to "just use AI" and understand the component, t

We both agree that there is a speed limit and it needs to be adhered to, regardless of who it is. The problem with Google is that it may have started at 8 over the limit, but it advertised itself as sticking to the limit but always hovered

There are solutions and then there are workarounds. what we see are workarounds, not solutions. Even in software, you can only patch so many workarounds without fixing the issue. Eventually fatigue sets in or we run out of workarounds and

When do we stop this instinctive response of "well you can still do it in an only slightly convoluted way" everytime a corporate does something bad. Windows added ads - well you can disable them, if you don't like it. Chrome

Person A: Did you know Google removed access to Pixel code repo. Person B: Well, it didn't go away, they just changed the access method to Google Drive. Saved us that conversation here, Thanks. No matter what mental gymnastics we may d

Not sure why, but when I see certain diacritics with latin alphabet, my brain tries to place the language somewhere in Europe. I don't know if I can call that an exotic feeling but it certainly feels foreign.

Lets flip the question, does it have to be at the break neck pace that nobody can catch up without spending huge money? How many of those features were really organic, driven by actual pressing need and not driven by Google's needs.

Chrome should be split, Firefox or its forks (if Mozilla continues to mismanage) should be able to receive funds from Google but Chrome should not be allowed to be paid for Google search engine placement at least for the next 5-6 years. I&#

"We had a bug in our code, I fixed it" I've seen this so many times where the same individual introduced and fixed the bug, it is now funny. This is corporate team level equivalent of "Socializing losses and privatizing

What if "owning" here means the same as "owning" any movie online. If questioned, I can already imagine someone defending that sort of agreement as a standard consumer, contractual terms and practices of the time.

Can you elaborate on the plausible deniability part. Was your past employer trying to make best of the situation by hoping to fish for information about your next employer's projects via the consulting gig?

Yeah Firefox split view is useful for this. If any of those vim extensions support link+split, and allow interaction with splits that would be even better.
