its not very good at voice recognition though, its pretty easy to get other peoples phones to activate using your voice, or it will start searching for stuff when it hears the tv

doesn't location history have to be enabled for that to work and thus you are giving google your location constantly that they store a record of

like 3/4s of android services and android apps break if you turn off google location services.

which makes google's promise to introduce iOS style granular permissions control to android M even more hilarious.

I just got my semi-annual hit up email from my dedicated google recruiter. last time she had me talk to a manager, which went well. when she followed up she said that they are interested but they don't place people in specific roles, they put you in a group and you move around. to which I said lol, no, I'm not a college student with no experience, and that was the last I heard of her.

the time previous we talked on the phone for 45 minutes like girlfriends about our hopes and dreams and then she said she couldn't find any jobs at google that match my experience, so I went on their website and found 5 in one minute and sent them to her. she never followed up.

the time before that she sent me some computer janitor req. so far off the mark that I had to try very hard not to laugh.

what exciting fuckery will it be this time? should I waste my time?

theres a thing that the cj tech support ppl can do where theyre on a tour and switch offices every few months but thats all ive seen

for general hires the steps typically are:
- recruiter phone screen/placement
- 1-2 phone interviews
- full-day visit with 4-5 in-person interviews

then a committee goes over the results of the interviews and if you pass then you get put into a pool of new general hires:
- hiring managers go to the new hires pool to find people, and talk to the candidates theyre interested in
- the candidate picks the team they want to work on based on the managers that they talked to
or this is sidestepped if you have some specialized knowledge or a specific team that youre being hired into

ultimately if the starting team isnt working out you can transfer to another team which is intentionally very straightforward and people do it all the time (but its a bad idea for one person to hop around super often)

“We’ve got these cameras in our pockets, we take them everywhere we go, and we thought that by taking all these pictures it would make it easier to relive the moment, but it’s made it harder,” Anil Sabharwal, who runs Photos at Google, told BuzzFeed News. “It’s 2015, we’ve got cars that drive themselves and drones that deliver packages, but the ability to save, organize, and share 20 photos with a group of friends is the unsolved problem of our time.”

i was in a room full of android developers watching this all like "cool, google just made icloud photo sharing"

the room was dead silent during the photos bit except for the part where they did the press and hold group select. we're def stealing that.
