implementation trumps theory but it's just kind of funny that goog has spent the last 15 years hiring all the people they think are the smartest and best in the world and they have a couple decent ideas to show for it

Why a deep-learning genius left Google & joined Chinese tech shop Baidu (interview)

“Frankly, Kai just made decisions, and it just happened without a lot of committee meetings,” Ng said. “The ability of individuals in the company to make decisions like that and move infrastructure quickly is something I really appreciate about this company.”

the transition is complete

The so-called Google barge, once envisioned as a floating showroom for Google Glass and other high-tech gadgets, is heading for a less glamorous future now that the structure on top of it is destined for the scrap yard.

so thats what theyre doing with all the google glasses

PleasureKevin

that barge got google some serious buzz. especially with what larry said about having a google island where they were free from all laws and could experiment. so i think people imagined they were making some dangerously disruptive stuff there. even i'm disappointed. this is also how it will feel when boston dynamics doesn't do anything and self-driving cars never happen.

obligatory reminder that this is a sudden turnaround after they all viciously fought for years to keep this data secret

dell and intel meanwhile have released this info on a regular basis for half a decade

e: of course the 2010 data is missing fml

circa 2010:

Following an appeal lodged by the Mercury News against the six companies that objected, the Labor Department released Hewlett-Packard's data after the company failed, government lawyers said, to provide a detailed objection "when we requested its views."

But the Labor Department accepted arguments filed by lawyers for Google, Apple, Yahoo, Oracle and Applied Materials that release of the information would cause commercial harm. The department declined to share the text of the detailed arguments made by the companies.


"There's nothing to hide, in our view," said Chuck Mulloy, a spokesman for Intel, which contacted the Mercury News to share its employment data after learning of the newspaper's federal FOIA request filed in early 2008. "We just felt that we're very proud of the (diversity) programs we have in place and the efforts we put forth, and we don't have any trouble sharing it."
