the op meant six and a half as in 150k as a means to intimidate and impress the yosposters and was roundly laughed out of the forum. nowadays but can mean whatever you want it to mean but I like the idea of 10e6.5 myself.

If you've ever listened to a spokesman for one of the "Font Foundries" they are very serious people who think a lot about TypeFaces. They're also very good salesmen about why you need a new one even though very serious people have built every standard font we have. I'm not convinced it isn't mostly bullshit and that it'd be very hard to measure any real difference in response to similar typefaces.

hey everybody. another google earnings report is out in a few days which means google PR has gotten another puff piece about them, this time in the NYT. just a little message to google investors about the innovation going on at the X labs and how it's not like every other corporate R&D division at other irrelevant tech companies from the past cool quotes quote:How much money could the company save if you could get them to cut bait a year earlier? "we are actually very financially disciplined which is why we kill projects fast and give bonsues for doing so" quote:One of the best ways to save money, Mr. Teller said, is to encourage employees to kill projects before they become expensive — hence the bonus for the Foghorn team. X staff meetings begin with a “premortem” process in which people predict how various technologies might fall short. Employees’ laptops are decorated with stickers of crumpled-up paper that represent the end of past efforts. lol quote:Unlike Google, where software engineers are kings, X is run by an eclectic batch of scientists and tinkerers whose backgrounds range from math, physics and chemistry to design, fashion and public art. The line “I’m not an engineer” seems to be a point of pride. Rich DeVaul, who heads a “rapid evaluation” team whose job is to hatch and kill ideas in short order, guessed that fewer than half the employees have engineering degrees (he doesn’t). "we're actually not a bunch of geeks and this poo poo we're making has a real chance of becoming a business. please associate google X with apple and steve jobs and 'marrying technology with the liberal arts'" and the reality quote:The combination of big ideas, lofty rhetoric and a strict code of secrecy has made X a source of endless speculation and conspiracy theories. The one you hear most frequently, usually from competitors and venture capitalists, is that X is a giant public relations plan to distract regulators from Google’s search business, which is under scrutiny around the world.

every engineer on that team got a bonus because google's (now alphabet's i guess) compensation structure is base+bonus+stock. you get the bonus every year if you're not about to be fired.

cremnob posted:this is a failure bonus for failing fast. google believes this is how innovation happens to be fair they probably save a poo poo load of money by paying their employees not to keep doing projects for the sake of doing them even when they are ultimately doomed to failure. imagine how much money they would have saved if they had paid a few hundred grand to shut down Google+ or Google Wave or the million other dumb projects that are now in the dead section of that "did Google shut it down" website. they should just pay all their non search employees to go away and accept their fate of being an ad company
