Apple doesn’t care about your privacy. They care about their image of caring about your privacy.

What do you do with CDs? Genuinely curious about how they can be used in 2024 and surprised artists still have any printed.
I absolutely love Windows with the Linux subsystem. Coming from Mac it’s genuinely terrific to not have to mess around with homebrew. Incredible to see how Windows came from being comically inferior to surpassing Apple as there has been absolutely no progression there in the last decade.
How do you navigate?
3,000 people clicked a button out of curiosity or by mistake. If this is statistically relevant for their install base, there really is nobody using Brave. I have as many users randomly come and go into my game on a daily basis.
Was that the “if it’s not Boeing, I’m not going” shirt? I think it can be fairly easily fixed with a sharpie. If you’re feeling creative, you could also draw the wreck on the runway.
The strategy that has a proven track record, like the currently wildly popular BlackBerry Messenger.
While I agree that this is a risk, I sincerely don’t believe this happens often when interviewing at Google.
For one, employees are continuously reminded to avoid bias in anything that they do, from the way in which interviews are conducted to the design of products.
Googlers are reminded to avoid this on a nonstop basis through annual trainings or even artwork and signage throughout Google offices that target specific bias-awareness programs. In the restrooms, posters with detailed recommendations, often tailored towards engineering, make for an educational read while you’re doing your business. Screens at the cafeteria show prompts challenging you to rethink assumptions. Dedicated teams are involved in performing reviews of proposals and code solely from the perspective of inclusivity.
I’ve never seen anything regarding “desirable traits” as part of a job listing. Hiring managers provide a job description that is reviewed to avoid bias, and pass along specific requirements for education and professional experience to recruitment teams. Recruiters take a first pass at CVs for those, and I’m honestly not sure how some kind of personality trait could even be distilled from a CV. Once a candidate that fulfills the minimum requirements is matched, they are set up to discuss other requirements with the recruiter, like relocation and timelines. I don’t recall from my own experience ever being asked anything aside from these practicalities.
For interviewing specifically, there are multiple steps needed to qualify as an interviewer, each of which puts a heavy emphasis on avoiding bias. The interview question itself needs to be vetted by a dedicated team and interviewers usually select their questions from the pre-vetted ones. Prior to performing your first interview you need to be doubly shadowed with topics like avoiding bias in mind. When asked to perform an interview, the details about the role that the candidate is applying to are provided and the interviewer is required to review the CV themselves ahead of time. As evidence of this, you’ll see that the interviewer will often match items from the CV against the listing to give the candidate the opportunity to expand on it and offer more detailed insights.
Rating the interview is performed within explicit rubrics, each of which with detailed descriptions. There’s not an option to simply reject a candidate—interviewers need to select options from these rubrics and provide evidence. This is in part why you will see interviewers vigorously taking notes during an interview.
The first phone screen has more relaxed requirements as a general confirmation that the candidate exhibits the skill level expected at the listing’s minimum requirements.
There are at least four in person interviews that then follow, performed by different interviewers. These results are reviewed by a hiring committee who makes a final decision solely based on the evidence with no insights into the associated candidate.
I have personally never worked at a company that is so meticulous in avoiding confirmation bias. In one smaller company that I worked at, I was the only interviewer and the sole decision maker for a candidate. Honestly, I cannot envision how Google can do better than they currently are with hiring.
I believe that the frustrating thing about getting hired there is simply the high bar and disparity between the high supply of candidates and the relatively low offering of positions. When you’re prematurely rejected after submitting your CV or you’re rejected after interviewing, remind yourself that you aren’t necessarily unqualified or that the interview was unfair, but that many qualified candidates might have already applied, or the head count may have been removed, or an internal transfer took place or some other reason unrelated to your skillset.
Aren’t most keyless cars also keyed? It seems to me that extending the signal of a wireless fob is just easier and quicker.
There was quite a different reaction to the iPhone when it launched, so I’m pretty confident it’s not the latter.
I’ve learned from this community that piracy isn’t theft, yet Nintendo’s attorney said to the court, “It’s for that reason that we do all we can to prevent games on Nintendo systems from being stolen.”
Why is the attorney allowed to lie to the court? Shouldn’t he be disbarred and prosecuted himself?
Who’s Fred? Also, perhaps related, what’s kerning?
Calm down there, sugartits.
The photo of the woman wearing VR goggles with a shit-eating grin on her face while supposedly having a conversation with somebody really speaks volumes about how Apple envisions us to interact with one another in 2024. Good grief, I abhor absolutely everything about this.
Tesla has a QA team?!
Sure, layoffs suck for anybody, but I’d be curious to know why you care about execs. Unless, of course, you had meant to use the expression “couldn’t care less.”
Ah, so this is effectively identical to Apple’s approach to repairability.
This community encourages such incredible depth and discourse. Keep it up, folks!
Edit: whoops, posted this on the wrong community. Yay, piracy!
Before we leap to conclusions about this, let’s not forget that this very nearly happened to a A321neo back in October.
Connecting a classic (non-Google TV) Chromecast to a new WiFi (or heaven forbid a hotel WiFi with a capture portal) was always such a pain. And casting over networks without mDNS is flaky at best and otherwise downright impossible.
By contrast, I’ve loved taking along my Chromecast with Google TV to hotels, along with:
This has been a complete gamechanger and a genuine upgrade over yesteryear’s Chromecasts.
