typeformer··on Water found on a potentially life-friendly alien planet
I believe the last 2 points because I don't believe that credible military personnel with long and distinguished careers, would tarnish their reputations terribly for no apparent gain, especially near the end of their lives.

Check out Philip J Corso or Robert Salas, but there are , many, many others who have blown the whistle including Walter Haut the public affairs officer during the Roswell crash (and recovery).

The government has been studying UFO's at the highest levels since at least 1947 and likely prior. You don't study something closely for 7 decades and not learn anything.

typeformer··on Raytheon: UFO's aren't real, unless our company can make money from them
Raytheon is trying to have it both ways, they want to tow the US government line, but they also sell more advanced camera systems (including to governments outside the US). This article illustrates the contradiction well and the title is a snarky way to reflect that.

Thank you team Project Zero, certainly my favorite team inside Google.
typeformer··on Spike in Autism May Be Linked to Preservative in Processed Foods, Study Suggests
Do you not think that the highly competent researchers didn't account for this very well know the rise in the data. Their findings here are novel, critically important and are related to a host of other works revealing the intricate links between the gut biome and neurobiology previously unknown. Parkinsons is another disease that recently has been shown to potentially be related to changes in the gut biome.
typeformer··on White House weighs encryption crackdown
This would utterly break the internet, how are government officials so idiotic to continue their magical thinking that somehow you can get rid of privacy and keep security. This is a dead horse that is becoming a perennial zombie.

FMRI data that is taken from direct brain scans is admissible in courts in India to determine if a suspect is lying in high profile cases. India also has the largest biometric database (outside of the NSA).

I ask people that same question all of the time and then I think about China and how someday if we don't start pushing back harder against this insanity we may not have a choice about what we want.
typeformer··on Carrier Group in Recent UFO Encounters Had New Air Defense Tech
If you think this stuff is wild wait till more people hear about UAP’s turning off Nukes, with military eyewitnesses verifying that it happened on multiple occasions...

I hope this puts it to rest for all the doubters here. Hell, you think the HN crowd would start to get excited about the possibility of seeing ET code soon...
typeformer··on Flutter: a Portable UI Framework for Mobile, Web, Embedded, and Desktop
Ha, at first I thought "cornstalks" was a new slang reference for Googlers and was just over my head.
typeformer··on A Landlord Wants Facial Recognition in Its Rent-Stabilized Buildings
When I previously mentioned Google will put these systems into their housing project in Toronto, I got downvoted, but it's clear this tech will be ubiquitous in major North America just like it already is in large cities in China.
typeformer··on Software Won’t Fix Boeing’s ‘Faulty’ Airframe
The Challenger disaster is a good example of an engineer who did warn the right people but they ignored him; I would bet bottom dollar something similar happened with these Boeing tragedies. The pressure to launch is great and who wants to be the person who stalls "progress".

Have you used Webflow?
typeformer··on Web Design 3.0: When Your Web Design Matters
If you really want to see the future of web design, learn about Webflow, don't buy into content marketing hype.
typeformer··on Web Design 3.0: When Your Web Design Matters
As a web designer, I can tell you this whole post is the worst kind of garbage content marketing. They call their product web design 3.0, and yet they say Webflow, a product superior in almost every way, doesn't qualify for that designation, please!. In addition, their homepage for their own product is pretty terrible design wise and I have a strong feeling this must have been upvoted with bots.
typeformer··on Living up to our values and the Neutrino acquisition
This is good because it shows there are professional consequences to pay when you engage in unethical behavior on behalf of repressive regimes and against democratic foundations.

Exactly right

It also creates the potential for perverse incentive issues, maybe not with this project, but this project will set a precedent for others.
typeformer··on Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs seeks share of property taxes for Toronto smart city
And is it common in those projects for companies to receive a share of public taxes? Some of you might believe there isn't a big difference between a tax break to a company and a direct share of revenues and quantitatively this is true, but qualitatively it isn't. Incentives matter, and this could set a very bad precedent.

bingo

Good,

Governments already make too many concessions to corporations while at the same time failing their obligations to citizens.

typeformer··on Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs seeks share of property taxes for Toronto smart city
Then why aren't they doing it that way?
typeformer··on Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs seeks share of property taxes for Toronto smart city
Nope that's not my argument
typeformer··on Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs seeks share of property taxes for Toronto smart city
Corporations should pay taxes, people should not pay taxes to corporations.

Google is not in the "smart city" business. They are in the monetize information business, everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
typeformer··on Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs seeks share of property taxes for Toronto smart city
The entire project will be a giant social experiment that would make BF Skinner cream his pants. There is not one bit of info about the residents that they wouldn't want to have. Every doorway will be fitted with state of the art facial recognition. Google will know everything about who comes and goes and why. They will know how often you use the bathroom and nag you when you keep the lights on. But, most of all they will know how you think, and how your thinking affects your actions, and which of those actions they can monetize.

Oh no, Google is the main supporter of Kubernetes, yikes!
typeformer··on HTML, CSS and our vanishing industry entry points
Webflow makes HTML and CSS visual, and super approachable while also being a great bridge into frontend JS dev. There are many on-ramps to a coders future.
