Same. So I just open up task manager and show them that it uses only 3.4 MB. As opposed to Teams, Chrome, and all this other bloatware.

This is a court-authorized search warrant authorized by a aitting judge. It doesn't get any more legal than that, and it's Google or any other company's legal duty to comply.

The Luminiferous Aether was popular too.

This guy is putting customers first, which is the exact opposite of most UX design philosophies I've been on the receiving end of. The entire discipline prioritizes minimalism, copying Apple, and making random changes to the interface just so they have "accomplished" something, which is how you get randomly broken messes like Youtube.

If UX designers made a gas pump, it would be a featureless white pillar with a single button and a hose and it wouldn't work.

Compared to the token fines US firms receive, seeing a white collar criminal sentenced to prison is refreshing.

> For example, there are paired exercises where people troll each other as hard as they can... But it's a safe space, with trained moderators around, in case people lose it.

Just curious, but where and why are you undergoing that kind of training? I've never heard of those tactics being used outside of cult-like environments or some kind of abusive therapy. Military boot camp, maybe? It sounds extreme and unethical.

"If you do the crime, leave the phone behind."

Criminals will adapt, they always do.

Because this was a bank robbery, it's a Federal warrant which is harder for Google to fight or procrastinate on (if for some reason they chose to).

That's a serious mischaracterization, the author is clearly a fan of science fiction, but he prefers (from what I gather from the review, at least) the literary and metaphysical forms to the Campbell school. And it's a perfectly valid take. I consider myself well read in science fiction and of the writers of the 50s and 60s, I would rather read PK Dick or Jack Vance than Asimov's akward prose or Heinlein's sexual hangups. Not that Heinlein doesn't have great moments, for example one of the best time travel stories ever, but he's hardly infallible or immune to criticism.

Get 100 developers and small companies with similar stories and it should be easy to convince a jury that Google arbitrarily, without cause or review, destroyed these people's livelihoods and should be held liable and accountable.

EULA is not some magic shield against the actual court system, either.

They should create some squads to work on cold case files.

I'm cancelling my sub because the back catalog is non-existent in my region. It is impossible to find anything older than 2000 anymore. On top of that, their UI and search functions are straight-up garbage that deliberately steer you to their own trash.

The problem is definitely more noticeable on skype and other types of conference calls, because you miss all the nonverbal cues and loudmouthed narcissists can easily take over and derail all conversations with their voice alone.

Should we be worried an AI developed by Facebook excels at a game of deception?

> a project is either "successful" and meets its funding goal, or "fails" because it doesn't.

This guy works at kickstarter, so his definition of success should be "when backers get what they paid for" not when kickstarter gets paid. This attitude is symptomatic of this company's callous disregard for its own customers and the proliferation of scams and frauds on its service.
