But software can be written anywhere.

I do think Google has good engineers, but they are really not that indispensable

Not that unreasonable I guess?

Even an App is free, it doesn't mean you can distribute it without permission? I would say the case apply to restaurants as well. I can see good restaurants leverage this to negotiate favorable terms with platforms.

Kneel jerking PR response

> No Retaliation

> Google prohibits retaliation against any worker here at Google who reports or participates in an investigation of a possible violation of our Code, policies, or the law. If you believe you are being retaliated against, please contact Ethics & Compliance.

Well, it is safe to say this is hot garbage then.

I would love Google to remove all the self entitled BS from this statement, so they can act as an everyday faceless big company which is anyway what it is doing, not some moral beacon for the mass to look up to.

The statement exists only to generate traffic for the news outlet for spinning.

It is at will employment, the company makes it clear what you have done there, they want to have a say on it.

If you want independence, goes to academia instead (though it is not easy to obtain it either)

New to the hardware land, so the core argument here is that CISC instructions are not fixed in length, so decoding becomes less efficient?

Well, Oracle bought Sun, and the team behind it.

I would be more in the mood to praise Oracle for this development, had they not shown how far they could go to hurt Java's community/ecosystem just to squeeze a penny out of it.

Honestly more curious about how does the FTC verifies the submitted report to be an accurate representation of what the company is actually executing?

2B is not a big deal for Amazon or AWS

Fantastic news.

Go Europe, we need an alternative to compete.

> I have to use something to do my actual job and it take more time that it should because of the UI I'd look elsewhere

The one who made the decision to use GCP would not be the one who would use it actually. If GCP offers a bigger cut than other Cloud providers, loading time would be irrelevant in that optics.

Enterprise users are risk averse. Speed is definitely a plus, but they would care more about stability/predictability than anything.

I don't think I agree with you here.

Make Cloud UI fast is probably not their priority. This is an enterprise product, not consumer facing, users are much less likely to be turned off due to slow UI. They will wait.

Integrity/Security would be much higher on the list than UI loading speed.

Not surprising at all.

> 80% of professional musicians can't make a living

It might hurt people's feeling, but most of those are not professional musicians.

I don't think it is judgemental to say that to claim oneself as professional, one need to demonstrate that they could make a living out of it. Otherwise, it is no different than a hobbyist, albeit much more time is dumped on it.

In case of streaming, now more people can declare themselves as musicians, since the barrier of publishing has been significantly lowered comparing to physical CDs. But that doesn't mean profit would follow.

To produce hit music isn't easy, and luck is certainly a factor of it.

How much did they earn from their music prior to streaming?

Musician for most isn't a job that sustains your livelihood, to speak the truth. Most musicians takes it a passion driven side gig besides their regular day job.

> Does Google care about AI ethics/bias?

Google cares about AI ethnics because talking about it gives those people, especially higher ups, an imagined sense of significance and adrenaline rush of being a savior.

But in reality, AI ethnics is just a gloried showroom of diversity/inclusiveness.

It is not a product, it doesn't generate revenue, in corporate world, nobody cares.
