Some places, including the Bay Area where this feature was probably created, have significant variance in commute times depending on the traffic of the day so this can be a useful feature. The commute time from SF to Cupertino is certainly

The vacancy rate of offices looks low because the big tech companies are still "occupying" them, but if go into many of them and they still look like ghost towns. Much more that offices in other locations. This feels unsustainable

GM delivered 457 total in Q1 but their CEO is given credit by Biden for “electrifying the entire automobile industry.” https://electrek.co/2022/04/01/gm-delivered-only-457-electri...

Probably not. No signs that this is linked to any mass activity.

In this case we only obtained a Chrome exploit. Whether that means they didn’t have exploits for other platforms as part of this attack or that we just didn’t succeed in determining them is unknown. TAG has certainly found and reported expl

I think you’ll find TAG regularly gives assessment on attribution at least at the country level. Iran, China, Russia, Belarus and North Korea at least have been named in the last few years. (Disclaimer: I am head of TAG)

I've found that the most useful discussions I've had are around how the people up the ladder think about the junior persons area/projects and how it fits into the bigger picture. The junior person knows more about the details

I'd also highly recommend the training course slides that are included in the Ghidra distribution. The "Advanced" course especially covers some cool tricks and ways Ghidra is different from IDA/Binary Ninja.

You'd be surprised. I've seen a number of times where new managers used to just being one of the team don't realize that joking about performance, compensation or someone's job takes on a very different tone when they ha

Are reviews of managers by employees that uncommon? At Google every manager is reviewed by a survey of their direct reports every performance cycle and that certainly feeds into assessment of manager performance.

My point is that being first to name a number isn't necessarily "giving away" your leverage. If you give too low a number you certainly may be, but naming a number could also Anchor ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w

I feel this hard rule of never mentioning a salary as candidate is too simplistic. There's certainly the risk of lowballing yourself if you don't understand your market worth but there's also the opportunity to anchor the sta

If we detected your account was compromised Google would have given you a different notification at that time and forced you to change your password.

It's a range of factors. Basically this warning means that what we detected ties in some way to wider activity that looks government backed. There's some border cases, but in practice the targeted campaigns of governments look ve

My team at Google is responsible for identifying the users we give these warnings to. Here's what I wrote last year to provide a bit more context: https://security.googleblog.com/2017/03/reassuring-our-users..

Correct this is about attacks against user accounts not legal requests. We do notify users wherever possible about legal requests and statistics are in the transparency report: https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/

There's many other warnings and notifications that Google gives users about phishing and hijacking attempts. This specific warning is exposing the fact that we think someone is being targeted by a government backed attacker. We believe

We (Google) have tried to find the balance with this since day one back in 2012 "If you see this warning it does not necessarily mean that your account has been hijacked. It just means that we believe you may be a target, of phishing o

At Google when we have done these alerts we have not discriminated by country. The alerts only cover what we see with phishing and malware targeting by what we believe is nation state activity and has nothing to do with law enforcement req

I think we need to draw a distinction between selling data about individuals to third parties and showing ads based on understanding of a user's interests. People may disagree with both but lumping the two together just confuses the d
