Just a side note but if you dig around, you'll realize that a lot of Googlers left the Inbox team around 2016.

There isn't much competition to email. It's likely that other products were prioritized (like ARCore) due to competition from Apple, etc.

Killing innocent civilians in Yemen does not maintain safety.

If the military's sole purpose was to maintain safety, it wouldn't be a problem. There are cases of misuses, hence why it's controversial.

Good luck to Atrium. I've interviewed for them a while back and saw a lot of passion! I personally have a lot of qualms about the legal industry while working at a bunch of startups so I see a lot of innovations possible.

I agree that it was unethical - practices like these are one of the major reasons I left.

It's nearly impossible to be "ethical" in large OEM companies because of the extreme competition and complexity of the organization. Most of these large OEMs are so political that even the smallest changes would require way too much effort.

I used to work at an OEM that did this. When the VW Emissions Scandal was publicized, we removed almost every piece of code that did things like these from all our phones.

Not sure if it was ever reverted eventually but performance test might not matter to HN users but it is something that typical consumers do look at when making purchasing decisions, based on our research.

Sometimes, the big lotteries like Powerball and Megamillions do get to EV > 1. Not only is it unreasonable to buy the 240 million tickets for every combination (financially and logistically), but even if you did, if you end up sharing the winnings, then you lose millions. EV > 1 is still not horrible.

One of my friends who has severe dietary/gut problems did several isolated experiments on himself with different probiotics and found success from very specific ones like PHGG and GOS..

Case study: South Korea and its population density but still achieving immense success.

I read Bad Blood and was curious what she sounded like.

The book definitely gets it right.

What are people's thoughts on Swagger?

My friend's mom started this http://www.foodallergybooks.com/. My friend has fatal food allergies (nuts and others) and has to carry around an epi-pen and has an extremely limited diet. Not sure if this is the best resource, but you can contact her to ask any questions you may have.

OCR is not easy.

Define mediocre. Google's hiring process is great but not perfect. Someone can always slip through the cracks in any company. As for compensation, Google can't differentiate who is worth 250K and who isn't solely based on the hiring process. A "mediocre" engineer getting paid 250K will likely not get promoted within the proper time and could be forced to leave.

Maybe a fake CTA to measure interest..

What an incredible story..

Someone did an analysis on this because it seemed like insta hex the last time they played, but they were all pre-queued and the 200ms turned out to be accurate.

I wonder if any updates have been made since the last match to remove more restrictions. The most common complaint from users was the courier changes.

This is an amazing story. I wonder how many years it will take until we can fully reconstruct a face kind of like Elysium (movie) style.

There are cheaper alternatives for weight gain or protein if cost is an issue. For instance, tuna, peanut butter, olive oil, protein powder...

What are some cool jobs for FPGA experts besides Intel and Military? It seems like there's not much availability.

Missing tons of companies but still nice!

I would hope GitLab did research on its own customers to be confident that the benefit significantly outweighed any negative impact.

OCaml was a required course in school for me. It was immensely useful and allowed me to think differently about programming (I only knew Java,C,C++ at the time).

This is a fair point when there are limited options available (price, availability, location, convenience). In Portland, there are tons of options that are healthier and cheaper.

My buddy who is a pro is going to ask this during the Q&A

A decision with a lot of confidence. Good luck to them.

Definitely - getting rich off these things means you have to go against convention. People have to call you "crazy" or "wild."

Pitch your company to key decision makers in various companies to build exposure. Attend conferences and network with relevant people - grab a drink or dinner and discuss ideas and maybe acquisition talks can organically start.

Maybe they were on reddit. Seriously though, 30 seconds vs 3 minutes is a long time in the reliability world but not atrocious.

There's also a slight chance you might find similar answers from asking this specific question in HN.

Imagine asking this question in a literature conference, juggling competition, cup-stacking competitions, etc.

Various age groups, hobbies, interests will show that people find passion in different ways. However, it'd be intriguing to see the similarities between the "how" and "why" of people discovering their passion.
