You should call for an ambulance instead.

Is there a reverse scrcpy where I see my computer screen on Android? No need for control, just mirroring screen is enough.

Pure nonsense. If China’s TikTok (or douyin to be accurate) were focused on those, it would never have been popular in the first place.

Source: I am Chinese who does use douyin and have seen much discussion on China’s Internet on how douyin is addictive and damaging to children.

I presume that they have already scaled back TVC usage. But it doesn't make news because it isn't interesting to anyone.

A separate set of dedicated laws of course.

Actually, certain alogrithmic "stablecoins" are designed to oscillate around fiat so it is possible to be higher than $1. An example is AMPL: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ampleforth/. Of course, its value oscillates so much that "stable" might be a misnomer, but that is its goal.

This only has effect for coins with a fixed supply or at least of fixed schedule of supply.

Email are retained for more than a year. Only instant chats are retained for 24h or 30d.

Care to list some of the bugs?

If only a small subset of people online are able to truly take advantage of ChatGPT, then I don't think Google is as threatened by it as many have portrayed.

Similar statements have been made about metaverse too.

From my point of view the only usage of LLM is generation. Such as writing peer reviews, self reviews, OKRs, when I already know the truth and can edit out any errors. I will never trust a LLM's answer to something I don't already know.

Traditional search practically forces you to read the sources directly. With ChatGPT, people will just assume its citation is correct due to laziness.

I've seen this with many human published articles on the Internet too. The litany of citations fool everyone into thinking that the article is credible, but when I actually read the citations, they don't support the article at all.

Google used to be considered different from and better than all the companies you list (except Facebook). Being lumped together with those companies would have been seen as an insult to Google in the past.

Worse in the aspect of market dominance.

On iOS I doubt people use the browser for YouTube, GMail. Those have dedicated apps.

Working on a project with only 5% chance of launch is almost a guarantee that you will be at the front of the queue for layoff when the company decides to do layoffs.

> At least around here (Europe), 1.5-2x more EEs graduate each year compared to CS people,

Do you know the reason for that? EE is significantly harder to learn than CS, so it baffles me why more people are choosing EE.

> You're logging in so they know who you are, but you refuse to keep a cookie in your browser so they won't know who you are?

The two sentences are not in contradiction at all. As long as he has the credential (password and perhaps 2FA), he should be able to log in. The cookie is a convenience, and should not be a requirement.

Personally I haven't asked or answered on stackoverflow for a long time. Just one data point.

> due to historical licensing and external dependencies (Java is the big one).

If this is a big reason, then a big reason is eliminated since Google has won the lawsuit against Oracle and have moved to OpenJDK so the licensing concerns are moot.

Google itself benefited from that image. Many people chose an offer from Google with total comp X instead of another company with total comp Y when X is lesser than Y by a significant amount. In the future, seldom any one will make any such decision. Google has to pay more for the same caliber of people.

Of course, I am assuming that the market will turn around some time in the future. If the market remains this bleak forever, tech candidates no longer have any choices so Google doesn't have to care.

Stop. Humans are the weakest link in security, and doubly so for humans with less training and accountability than myself.

We have already seen cases of SIM swapping attacks. I don’t want to see this to be more widespread.

When I read the title "Spotify reducing employee base by about 6%", I thought Spotify was reducing the base compensation of all employees instead of laying people off. How wrong I was.

Well, time to advertise my own competing offering: https://github.com/netheril96/securefs. Works on Win, Linux, Mac and BSD.

Sorry. I assumed that the person you named was responsible for Android, given how that would have been a good comparing target for Fushcia.

If the group is well organized, you seldom need to have cross organization collaboration to achieve your goals. Then you cannot claim to have leadership or complexity because stuff accomplishable by a single team is considered simple to do. Bad for perf.

Hmm, Fushcia builds a whole new kernel in a different paradigm and then a userspace upon that. Android was built upon an existing and mature kernel. It doesn’t surprise me that Fushcia takes longer.

Except AI plays to the strengths of Big Companies rather than small ones. So MAGA will be the first to capture the winds of AI. They don’t have to worry about an unknown AI company suddenly toppling them upside down.

It is not cheating if the act is in accordance with the rules of the game. What I am against is the rule itself. Never have I named names or suggested that ALL hires of a certain race are diversity hires. You have to put words in my mouth because you know you cannot refute my argument without purposefully misconstruing my words first.
