I think it’s worth watching more recent seasons, at least from the first trump presidency. I agree that they had originally a “both sides bad” approach, but over the last 10 years or so, they have much more clearly come down on the side of

No, if you are going to change the structure of a structured document that has been saved to disk, your options are: 1) Rewrite the file to disk 2) Append the new data/metadata to the end of the existing file I suppose you could pre-pa

I think you have to go market by market to make that statement. In NYC, for example, it was explicitly illegal for yellow cabs to accept radio/pickup calls, which was the domain of the livery cabs (black cars). The tradeoff was that

It was a proper Gmail account? Or was it an email@domain account that maybe was using her work email address? I’m asking because I used to work adjacent to this area, and I know of only a few scenarios where an account becomes a workspace a

I am very much not a lawyer, and while I work for Google, I do not work on this, and this is just my plain language reading of the docs. When you look at the github repo for the gemini CLI: https://github.com/google-gemini&#

That's because it's a bit of a nesting doll situation. As you can see here: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/tree/main If you scroll to the bottom, it says that the terms of service are

It's a lot more nuanced than that. If you use the free edition of Code Assist, your data can be used UNLESS you opt out, which is at the bottom of the support article you link to: "If you don't want this data used to improve

Because as people start bidding they become invested in the outcome, and can often be convinced to go higher than they otherwise would. The trick is to set it under the minimum price the right amount that you can get multiple people biddin

Are we talking about the same Airbnb? When I think of resorts, I think of staff, bars, restaurants, activities, often all inclusive, and often catered to my desired demographic (adults only, family friendly, etc.) When I think of Airbnb, I

FWIW, as far as I'm aware, it wasn't gmail scraping that was the cause of Amazon pulling that information. It was third-party plugins that read people's inboxes to provide them with coupons, discounts, etc., and those compan

I didn’t move the goal posts, I was referring to your married couple example. If you are married and you jointly agree to change the standard of living because of your shared goals/values, that’s your business. When you’re not married

> It doesn't make sense that married people can willfully lower standard of living but non custodial parents cannot. Of course it does - because both parents are responsible for the welfare of the children, and so if they both decid

Neither of those are enterprise products, though. Looker, as a better comparison, is still available on AWS and Azure.

If you have a few minutes, reading the full complaint is worth it - the blog posts and the articles don't really do the whole story justice. There is extremely damning evidence that this unnamed individual ("D.S.") in Ireland

Well, for options it's more complicated than that - you can have ISOs that convert to NSOs to allow people to defer having to exercise illiquid options when they leave the company. So that's where my options question was coming f

Wait - there’s a lot of assumptions being made in this thread. Is everyone you’re referring to a former employee? Are you sure you had RSUs, proper, as opposed to options? If you have options, this is entirely because of the different trea

I think now we're just arguing semantics. The only billing metrics for cell phones that are visible to the user are usage in minutes and data. This is the easiest type of metric to understand and meter - because it's pure aggreg

Sure, it’s also very easy to understand paying for deli cold cuts by the pound, but it doesn’t make it a good comparison. Consumer telecom is a great example of a very constrained problem space. There’s two levers, call time and data. And

It's funny, this was actually one scenario that I thought about mentioning but I had to get on a plane and was running out of time. It is true you CAN do this, but very few do, for a few reasons: One is, it's bad for margins - whe

I spend a lot of time on pricing and packaging of SaaS software and the challenge is real. Everybody says they want simple pricing, which often aligns to seats or MAU - but then they want usage-based pricing, but then they're concerne

But by their own admission, other than for two states they don’t uniquely count people, it’s counting admissions. That could skew the numbers meaningfully.

As someone who rented for 20 years in NYC, this is a bizarre scenario you describe. You deal with a broker during the leasing process, and then after you lease it, you pay the landlord, they have to sign the lease and approve repairs, and

In NYC, rents went way down, to the point where there was a sticker shock from people who moved to NY during Covid and were shocked when prices went back up a year or two later.

Right, you CAN set that up, but in the US, not accepting visa and Mastercard is essentially untenable if you are a retailer or restaurant. You might be able to avoid accepting AmEx, but from talking with restaurant owners, the biggest spend

It’s not justice towards the employer, but justice towards your peers, both those who you work with directly, as well as those who are negatively impacted because you took a job that could have been someone else’s. If you want to have multi

That is inaccurate. You only see individuals with whom you have directly shared the document with and/or people in your domain (if a business/enterprise customer). For anything link shared, you see the anonymous animal names.

How would they be able to link that? Document owners can't see non-domain users who viewed a particular document (and even for domain users, that can be disabled).

There are lots of family owned businesses in the US that look after their employees. I think it’s more that there are significantly fewer tech companies in general that are family owned businesses.
