Why shouldn't they? I personally like the answers and use them often if I'm trying to find a fact, like when someone famous was born. If someone is going to blindly trust Google without verifying and google doesn't try to answer, they'll probably just trust whatever site is listed first anyways...

I see no harm in Google guessing.

>more irregular in size than wheat berries

Wheat is one of those plants that humans have mastered. One person can farm thousands of acres of wheat. Generally that's only true of plants that are very uniform and that you wipe out each harvest. It would be very hard to replace it with a plant you can't use the same techniques on as the labor would be 100x probably.

There is one tiny little mention of Waymo in there but that's clearly the main push for Google in robotics now, and if that's where those robotics aquihires went maybe that's what they wanted.

Can't really blame him, it might seem kind of arrogant to refuse to do the task they give and propose one yourself, although it is pretty impressive that you could do something useful on a codebase you haven't seen during the code interview.

It doesn't feel that bad either. I thought I'd be miserable but this dry heat is painless compared to 90s in the East.

You don't get a new bike every year. You're talking about a 1 time payment for all 65+. After that just give it to everyone who turns 65.

The way it was published does not lead me to believe that story. The link to the document riffed on documents whose authors want all Googlers to read them and fix their broken ways.

Where did the author get the idea this was anonymous or posted as a meme?

maybe not going to happen, seems like most googlers disagree with the doc but more so with the leaks

I`m sure The first driverless cars for the public will start being available for rides in Silicon Valley or AZ and just on the regular roads they know very very well. I've still never seen one on the highway.
