Let's say you have 100000 documents in your index that match your query but only 10 of them the user has access to: A basic implementation will return the top, let's say 1000, documents and then do the more expensive access check

Well if you don’t have a pretty good idea of the problem you’re solving for the customer, you’re much better off trying as many things as you can, quickly and cheaply, to figure out.

Do you know that the big expensive thing is what your customers actually need? Do you actually know what your customers need? That’s basically the only important context. If you can’t deliver that, it doesn’t matter how well thought through

I'm not defending this at all, but one of the reasons why there are no (or few) humans that can be contacted is that they* said that it was tried before and it caused a lot more issues with mistakes/takeovers due to social enginee

This was maybe 8 or so years ago so I'm not sure what else this unnamed ticketing company added since... but permissions were pretty lax at that point and had JUST started to tighten up. Oh I forgot to mention that Apple rejected the i

A ticketing company was experimenting with BLE beacons to trigger things like seat upgrades and coupons when people walked by certain things in a venue… or at least that’s what they said it would be used for. Instead they covered LA Live an

They cut non-business critical travel which many employees for some reason felt was a perk of the job. I heard second hand that some employees would do "office tours" just to try the lunches at the different offices (under the gui

Whether intentional or not, the way you presented these (including the one about CGI) is how these sorts of conspiracies get wings and spread. "Oh of course this is not true... except for maybe this little sliver here..." That&#x2

All the surrounding areas of Ann Arbor are reasonably priced. I live in Dexter (working remote) and love it here. Close enough to go to Ann Arbor whenever I want but far enough away to get a big house and lots of land.

They sometimes (often) have "last look" -- so a bunch of companies compete to win an auction against each other, and then Google gets a chance to win against the winner of those. This means that Google can essentially maximize the

We use GCPs equivalent of spot instances (preemptibles) to great effect as well. It actually works better at larger scale since a smaller % of your machines get preempted at a given time.

Point taken. Your statement is equally factually unsupported and I have apparently taken the bait.

There's two sides to the equation though (I work on Supply Side ad tech). There's a huge amount of content that people are just not willing to pay for, but would gladly view ads. You may be willing to pay for Youtube Premium and T

That's one way to look at it, and certainly a view that many share -- but isn't that more likely to attract regulatory scrutiny instead of deflect it? I sit in on many of these W3C meetings (I'm not from Google) and the discu

I don't think that's an accurate representation at all. Look through the proposals and see, for instance, that it goes beyond anything that Firefox is planning to do. Dropping third party cookies is just one small piece of it.

The parent you responded to is suggesting that hard-shutdowns at a certain time are a way to help prevent that. Shut it down at a set time and don't turn it back on until later. You won't be as tempted to just pop in for a few min

FLOC is being introduced now in advance of privacy features coming in chrome (removal of third party cookie and privacy budget) which apparently will hurt ad revenue. FLOC is supposed to help targeting without exposing user data.
