thats a tall order for most films. but i do share the hope.

At my company, we only approve remote employees who are proven to be dependable and self-directed. usually senior hires who are willing to take paycut because they want to live where their spouse can work or care for family/kids.

Not just engineers. sales and ops folks who are close to clients/vendor offices are also prime for remote work.

seems like a sad knee-jerk response by y!

Different google than the one i worked in, it took managers many quarters or even years to make big decisions. they needed tons of data and trends - by nature they are reactive to a fault. yet they run around talking about quick decisions making and being agile.. strange world it was.

team prob had a hiring freeze. very typical.

if you can find it with google, its prob okay..

I like it. i rarely read yelp reviews. i prefer the aggregate score(stars). i would prefer apple made their own system which accounted for 'device+number+ itunes id per vote' so i know there is some mitigation against fraud reviews and stars because it will map to a person.

Verizon is doing the equivalent of a reverse 'butt dial' they are listening to everything you do after you've hung up.

i would absolutely love to use my glass at my desk when working. would do wonders to clear away all the apps i'm running for notifications and constantly checking my phone to see if i got a text or missed call from a client while i was in a meeting or drafting an email.. the major prob is the product is heavily focused on google services. if they came out swinging with a mac notifications app and ios app - i would use it all day. but they didnt, it sits in my drawer as something i use for show and tell.

seems to imply its daily charge - 'easy to charge everynight'.

I wonder how the police measure their 'shifts', maybe a rule change to make it on-by-default and timed breaks with auto switch on after 20 min of 'off time' for bathroom breaks etc, during this time the officer should be considered 'not on duty' hence cannot respond to incidents.

they are required to document things, why not step up to technology and use everything else available? i'm sure there was similar complaints when notebooks and reports became a requirement... hopefully momentum switches.

Your reply infuriates me. The PM, at a minimum, should be collecting the information needed to credit the appropriate team/ICs, circulate status of dependencies, and communicate upwards. Methodology(agile) and tools (SP/Jira) are supposed to be ways to think and optimize communications...

It really peeves me to see PMs get away with doing spreadsheet management and wear teflon suits...

To be fair, i've been on a team where the engineers passed the buck towards me also, so i had to push towards written follow ups and detailed documents but that was isolated from the entire team..

Framework filled resumes go straight to the trash or get tossed a cluster f* in an interview to see how they structure the problem and build out a path towards a more productive structure.. most have failed because they all respond with some rendition of 'call a meeting with the team and their supervisor'..

Tax pay funded campaigns with a ban on all other spending to promote candidates.

So your PM doesn't manage the docs? as in talk to you about what the appropriate output should be and then they collect and handle the organization of it?

Wow, they are really trying very hard to come up with silly gimmicks to stay top-of-mind, only way to sell ads these days.

ads on this site are of bikini girls.. don't really trust it.

Passwords ID you to the entity. Images ID the entity to you.

While not a perfect system, it works to some degree IMO. I still prefer two-fold auth.

... imagine the reference check...

Open an office in a warzone and assign him there. He doesn't accept, fire.

I would not be surprised if they get hit with a Class Action someday. For their long tail products, the impact to single users is small but across the board, i'm sure it adds up.. reminds me of that evil scheme to take .0005% of a penny from everyone.

Their B2B services is also lacking, turn over for their employees is high y/y.

..maybe this is the new of state internet services at scale?

edit: grammar

Not true - inventory availability and user data are gathered. Google receives value from a publisher using Ad Sense tags, if they chose to use that value by returning ad (getting paid by an advertiser) then Google makes money. At the end of the day an unused impression opportunity by Google may cost a tiny bit of computing resources, but its an unused opportunity for revenue by the publisher.

Why would it matter?

I expect it would be more realistic than Randy Zuckerberg's show.

No one wants to work for The Man!

I suppose email was a fad?

Fb has replaced all my personal communications

They covered their own story.

Can't put my fingers on it since I haven't read Time in ages but it seems like the format has changed. Seems more bloggish if that means anything.

the greatest lie in business is that HR is there for you the employee. no! hr is there to ensure the human capital investment is utilized to the fullest extent allowed by the law and policy of the company.

My hunch is Sparrow's offered a compelling enough user experience to be a rival to gmail's UI, by being the primary point of use for Business and Personal customers, they were not being exposed to Google's revenue points (AdSense and cookie/re-targeting technologies).
