CLI certainly is better than local MCP. But nowadays, most MCPs are remote and the comparison fall short, at the notable exception of `gh` in a coding environment. But having CLI already authenticated is not guaranted either!

Explorable by design, can be served through HTTP, OAuth integration.

There is no wrong time for that. You did the right choice.

To bring some positive news, I bought this computer last month and up to now I'm quite happy with it.

TouchPad feels very good but is a little buggy when the computer rest on some surfaces.

The function keys are not a pain to use, and the keyboard feels very good otherwise.

I installed Fedora and Windows 10 on it. Bought with Ubuntu for the price reduction.

Oled screen is marvelous, battery life is okay: 5h when developing using vscode and tons of extensions. It does get quite hot when doing some 3d stuff but that's expected I guess.

Battery life can be improved by choosing the LCD screen.

It has some flaws, but I find them minor and I value much more the possibility to have a windows Linux dual boot.

On the other hand in my current company we have people from all over the world: US, EU, Africa, Asia and Australia.

Everything is asynchronous, flat hierarchy, only seniors hired as freelancers though, so quite autonomous people. Two dev syncs per week, fine if you skip one for whatever reason. One single manager for 10 people. It works quite well.

For me this is remote working done mostly well.

More likely that Google engineers are in a bubble because of all the available internal tools. Also the interview process nowadays select people that have time to train for the interviews rather than good engineers. The Google interview is still hard, but not for the same reasons than in early 2010.

Except some Nintendo games, like breath of the wild.

It all boils down to the fact that people need to feel useful. This is part of the society as a whole. During this meetings, look at who need attention, and praise their propositions.

On some rare cases it is a power move, in such cases either you can play the power game or you can't.

Regarding power games, the real fight happen before the meeting, so if you feel unprepared and you know someone in power is going to pressure you: don't go.

In 2016 Google News was great because with a 5 minutes glance you coudl hved all the necessary news. However this strategy doesn't work anymore thanks to Google News trying to be smart by adapting news to your browsing history.

I haven't been able to find a good alternative to the old Google News.

I tried subscribing to one or many newspapers, but they all have too many useless articles inbetween valuable news such that filtering noise takes too much time.

So in the end I still read Google News but I'm getting a sens of negativity and frustration that wasn't there in 2016. And it takes more time to have all the necessary news. Since "Time spent on Google News" is probably an important metric for Google, the situation is not going to improve anytime soon.

Well, you can still right click on an image preview in Google Image and then select "Show Image" to get the image in full resolution, like the good old "View Image" button.

There is of course a middle ground between 'writing for writing' and 'writing for payback'. For instance people might want to post how they did some stuff, with the hope that it helps at least one guy. That's how most blog were written.

Then internet slowly became a place where everything is a business opportunity, and blogs were relayed into the second zone. Google also somehow became much less useful when it comes to find good blogs, probably because of aggressive SEO.

You may want to see a doctor ;)

I kinda agree with you, but I think it's expected: demos are just ads for technical people. So in a way you know that it's too good to be true.

Plus they don't actually explain how it works, how the demo was made and what's the limits of their technology. They only show the good side, so people naturally wants to know the not-so-good side as well.
