didn't Jony Ive recently have an interview where he said the singular, most important piece of advice Stebe told him was to focus on a single thing and not deviate from that path? even if you desperately desperately love the idea, you have to let it go for the sake of the work. this is good advice I think, Google could learn from that. focus on a few things and make them great. Stebe also told Jony that he was vain when jony told him to tone down his harsh criticism, lol.

Base Emitter posted:i think only microsoft managers are touchy about employee phone choice I work for Reuters and constantly use Bloomberg content for reference, no manager has even noticed. I used the Bloomberg logo on Reuters news on the NYSE floor, it was only changed a day before going live. Bloomberg provide better photos and videos of my work too, so of course I'm going to use them

Trimson Grondag 3 posted:google has corporate sales teams in my building and they are the usual collection of aggressive advertising sales dudes (deliberate pronoun choice). all use iPhones and would be surprised to hear Google has products other than Adwords he works on the coding side so he has to deal with the promises made by those people to clients. and when i worked at samsung there was definitely a "if you don't have a samsung tv you are betraying the company" feel. funny it didn't extend to samsung laptops because lol those things were garbage and everyone knew it. it started to be a thing with the newly released smartphones but then i left because it was awful.

so this morning slate has a hit piece calling out google self driving cars as not real and having no chance of becoming real. it's low on tech detail but generally correct in its assessment. http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2014/10/google_self_driving_car_it_may_never_actually_happen.single.html looks like the shine is coming off of yet another google moonshot project, time to come up with some more impractical ideas to impress investors

To be able to handle the everyday stresses and strains of the real driving world, the Google car will require a computer with a level of intelligence that machines won't have for many years, if ever. yeah i agree they'll never be good at chess either

why in god's name would they need an inch perfect 3d map of every street, x/y is handled by gps and goog maps, and all objects from the point of view of a car in motion are moving so have a dedicated computer to track all objects, calculate their apparent paths, and if they're at risk of colliding pass it to the main computer to avoid or stop the car yeah this is harder but you wanted "challenges" you fucks

maybe they should start with trains, and once they have driverless freight trains move on to trams, since they're easier

Forums Terrorist posted:maybe they should start with trains, and once they have driverless freight trains move on to trams, since they're easier lol they will never do that because having an engineer you can pin the blame on because he "had drugs in his system" from smoking a joint a month ago and received (but didn't read) a text message three hours before the wreck is pretty important to railroad companies. also the computer slamming on the emergency brake because it can't tell that the thing on the tracks is a cow instead of a sedan could easily cause a massive derailment and hazmat situation. hobbesmaster posted:google isn't going to replace your personal car, its going to replace the taxi you take from the airport to your hotel; those kinds of routes can be well defined keep saying it: high end retirement communities. big pot of money for exploration there.

been loving around with this. actually is pretty effective at collecting all the bullshit email you get and filing them away in categories. the "snooze" reminders to re-check messages later is p. nice and easy to use. i give it two months before they forget it ever existed.
