Facebook doesn't sell data, they ads. Those ads are targetable by categories determined from private data, but Facebook doesn't give anyone else the data, that's literally why people would purchase ads through their…
They're not third parties because these API's are protected by user login credentials as near as I can tell. That means you provide your login information, and your device can access your Facebook data, as you expect a…
If these people are so easily swayed and manipulated, what exactly is informed consent supposed to cure?
But you are materially supporting their bottom line.
Google spent billions to develop the huge data processing systems and algorithms to eventually leave Yelp behind, like a freight train leaves a horse behind. Yelp missed the industrialization of their industry by…
You understand that Apple uses Googles infrastructure to provide services, right?
They've got an OpenCL SDK for it now, that brings it under the same interface that a lot of folks have been using for the Phi and other many core tech Intel has been pushing for HPC. It's not really that hard to get…
So, Google pulled down 9.9B in profits last quarter. That means if they've got 88k employees, they could hand out somewhere around an EXTRA $450k to every single employee every year and still be in the green. Facebook…
I think he said "$300k".
Releasing that information means those advertisers no longer need Facebook to do the ad targeting. They can then use other exchanges to do targeting without paying Facebook anything. It is in Facebooks interests to…
I don't know, how much do you estimate any given road contributes to the GDP of the US? It's infrastructure that enables the rest.
Since they're using it internally to make facebook work, I'd say it's a core product and a lot of engineering efforts are being expended to make the company run better. It just also happens to be something you can sell…
That's a trick question, there are no competent managers in government service for the most part. They either burn out from managing without the ability to recruit competent staff, or they moved elsewhere to make…
Since XFS works by multiple allocation groups spread across the volume, that would require you to migrate data out of the area you want to reclaim, which would require a pretty significant reshuffle of the volume…
Google might have just lumped you into the idiot bin, there are people who WANT their searches to look like spam. Google will happily show people what it thinks they want based on how they've interacted with the service…
I'd say it's harder to quit eating badly than it is to quit cigarettes: You can live a long life without ever touching a cigarette again. But you won't get far with going cold turkey on food.
He's referring to a group that is selected based on their intelligence. In that case, it doesn't really matter what the distribution of the larger population is, because you're only talking about a group that is…
It's a UI thing. Most of them set a range so the standard operating speed on a highway is roughly at the top of the gauge. In this way, people can gauge their speed when driving different vehicles my glancing at the…
It's Google, there are literally thousands of open heads at any time. If the white guy passed the hiring bar, they'd hire the woman, the "colored" as you put it, AND the white guy. Then they'd offer them recruiting…
If Damore was belittled, it was because he was obviously too daft to know how to keep a job in Silicon Valley. It turns out they send you to these handy classes so you know all the rules that let you stay employed. And…
You think Google is going to just let work go un-done because they don't have a diverse candidate in the role?

More likely, Google made their own mitigations, that they're keeping for their own competitive advantage. They've had a lot more time with the problem than anyone else has, and billions of dollars to gain by solving it…
Google said they've finished patching, and it was all done before the bug became public. That means the people who have the best information about mitigating this issue have a fix that apparently has minimal performance…
Well, since Google knew about this bug across the boundaries of a few quarterly reports so far, and hasn't signaled radical departures in their operational expenses, and has specifically said the impact on them was…
