This will be an interesting passkey test. Much has been spilled about the complexity of passkeys for normal users but in many cases you can just not use them or they’re just tied to your personal smartphone for your personal Gmail/icloud

Amazon is an account that is shared by many between household. Will this cause user confusion

It sounds off because “increase” can be a verb or a noun and “spend” can also be used as a verb or a noun (but is more often used as a verb) so you’re brain is trying to parse the sentence with dual meaning terms

Parent comment said "Well I was thinking about making a competitor...."

Response said "Working on an idea after it has been Sherlocked is a bold choice"

Child comment asked what Sherlocked meant. I explained.

Apple purchasing Swift Package Index is great. The Sherlocking above comment was in response to the suggesting that theyd create a project apple has already made first party

It means Apple (or big tech) has adopted/cloned your product basically killing your products ability to succeed

In reference to when Apple created a project called Sherlock that was a direct copy of a popular Mac app Watson

yes notably it is also not a civil case being brought by google for breaking the NDA

I think your reading of SDNY jurisdiction is a misreading. The SDNY is the venue for where the DOJ is charging them, which is fairly common for financial crime cases.

So, after doing some light Googling and AI research, this doesn’t seem to be strictly an “insider trading” charge from the SEC.

It looks more like a broader fraud case. The charges are commodities fraud / Commodity Exchange Act violation, wire fraud, and money laundering, and the case is being brought by the DOJ.

So, lawyers, please correct me if I’m wrong, but this feels more like prosecutors found a legal framework to charge him for conduct that resembles insider trading. By contrast, if he had sold Google stock based on insider knowledge, that would have more directly implicated SEC insider trading rules.

So, functionally, it feels like an insider trading case, but technically, it isn’t one.

Yes, but having worked on the date picker at Airbnb I can assure you almost every custom implementation (probably ours too!) messes up date picking in some region in an important way

I think a lot of ink has been spilled on the problems with the proposed California Wealth tax, the main points being:

1- Is this in fact a 1-time tax or is that a dishonest narrative to make the proposal easier to swallow?

2- How do you prevent capital flight to other states?

3- How do those with paper money or more voting shares than equity shares cover their tax bill?

That being said, I think more creative energy needs to be spent on the problem itself.

What do we do about individuals with $100M+ of unrealized capital gains that through various methods will never have to realize those gains to live an extraordinary lavish lifestyle, and their children will inherit the money with a step-up in basis? For those who make all their money from W2s, they pay very high tax burdens, while those who strictly have capital gains generally pay at most around ~20% for LTCG.

To those criticizing the California Wealth Tax, how do we solve this? How do we make billionaires pay more and lawyers/doctors/software engineers pay less?

Nice response to read

While these are great, isn’t the problem that malicious actors will create systems that do not use synthID

I’m not sure I understand the customer use case for this.

1- Chromebooks have made huge inroads in schools because they’re easy to maintain, share, upgrade, and they’re very cheap.

2- Obviously, running desktop software is a huge new piece of the ecosystem, but isn’t this customer already opting for Windows/Mac, who have extremely robust 30-year ecosystems and suites like Office, iLife, Adobe, etc that will obviously never build for this platform

There’s no way Google OS ever hits any kind of parity of exclusive software that is unavailable on Windows/Mac. Best they can do is run Android apps. This also introduces a high new threat vector to their existing customers who might not want it.

Lastly, what will this do to Chromebook buyers who are now wondering which OS will be actively developed in 5 years?

This seems like a good guess. Seems like it was deployed Thursday based on the app reviews
