The demise of Google Reader, if logical, is a reminder of how far we've come from the cuddly old 'I'm Feeling Lucky' Google days, in which there was a foreseeably-astonishing delight in the way Google's evolving design tricks anticipated what users would like. |

In 2002, Google began an ambitious project to digitize every book in the world. It was intended as a search project: type in a query, and Google would show you snippets. They asked university libraries for books, which they would scan for free. At Harvard we didn't permit them to take works under copyright, but other libraries gave them everything. |

For me, the lame part of the Sixties was the political part, the social part. The real part was the spiritual part. |

Every label thinks, when they sign someone, 'This is the perfect pedigree to sign. They're cute, they can sing, they can dance, et cetera.' And they say to the public, 'Here, this is what you're gonna like.' But you might say, 'No, I don't like that!' You'll probably say 'no' many more times than you'll say 'yes!' |

Can life be defined? Well, how would you go about it? Well, of course, you'd go to Encyclopedia Britannica and open at L. No, of course you don't do that; you put it somewhere in Google. And then you might get something. |

People think that when you use Google you're finding exactly what you need, but really, you need expert help. |

If we don't build a company as influential as Google or Facebook, then we failed. I'm, like, perpetually stressed, honestly. |

A well-conceived product excels at what it does. It's close to being functionally flawless - like a Ziploc bag, a radio from Tivoli Audio, a Philips Sonicare toothbrush, a Nespresso coffee maker or Google's home page. |

Google will be obliged either to accept Chinese regulations or exit the world's largest Internet market, with serious consequences for its long-term global ambitions. This is a metaphor for our times: America's most dynamic company cannot take on the Chinese government - even on an issue like free and open information - and win. |

I thought of the idea of Summly in March or April 2011. I was 15 years old and I was revising for some kind of history exam. The problem was I was trying to find information that was useful to me. When you type into Google an esoteric term, you get quite a lot of stuff that's not relevant. |

Secret Idea: make a ecosia home (not google) that works better (which should be pretty straightforward) and then everyone uses it cause it's better and then trees save the world.

All the lacroix water is gone from Ann Arbor. I haven't seen it in weeks. The stores put out their bubly brand water instead but now that is all gone too. No one has lacroix and I've been searching the internet (ecosia > google) but haven't found anything. What is happening!?

Having trouble using your google play credit out of the country? Here's what I heard works:
1. Download Android Studio and create a virtual phone in the AVD manager
2. Connect to VPN in country where google thinks the credit belongs
3. Start up the phone and connect your google account
For some reason it doesn't seem to work from a real phone even with a VPN...

oogle's Voice-Generating AI Is Now Indistinguishable From Humans
Anonymous Coward 6 hours ago 75
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Quartz: A research paper published by Google this month -- which has not been peer reviewed -- details a text-to-speech system called Tacotron 2, which claims near-human accuracy at imitating audio of a person speaking from text. The system is Google's second official generation of the technology, which consists of two deep neural networks. The first network translates the text into a spectrogram (pdf), a visual way to represent audio frequencies over time. That spectrogram is then fed into WaveNet, a system from Alphabet's AI research lab DeepMind, which reads the chart and generates the corresponding audio elements accordingly. The Google researchers ...

Google Says Almost All CPUs Since 1995 Vulnerable To 'Meltdown' And 'Spectre' Flaws
Google has just published details on two vulnerabilities named Meltdown and Spectre that in the company's assessment affect "every processor [released] since 1995." Google says the two bugs can be exploited to "to steal data which is currently processed on the computer," which includes "your passwords stored in a password manager or browser, your personal photos, emails, instant messages and even business-critical documents." Furthermore, Google says that tests on virtual machines used in cloud computing environments extracted data from other customers using the same server. The bugs were discovered by Jann Horn, a security researcher with Google Project Zero, Google's elite security team. These are the ...

the old captchas where you typed in strange words were part of a larger book translation scheme. you were typing in what you thought these physical books words were and it compared them to their data or other peoples data to decipher them in pieces. i thought this was for google books but not sure

Sometimes I think that determinism can exist to a degree, meaning every event is part the result of proceeding events and part stochastic. But if this is so, where does randomness come from?

Intel was aware of the chip vulnerability when its CEO sold off $24 million in company stock
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich sold off $24 million worth of stock and options in the company in late November.
The stock sale came after Google had informed Intel of a significant vulnerability in its chips — a flaw that became public only this week.
Intel says the stock sale was unrelated to the vulnerabil...

Our brain is subject to Theseus’s paradox, where every part of a ship is thought of as being the same ship even though every part is gradually replaced. Our sense of self is the constant expression of a primitive survival drive that actually shifts endlessly, but gives us the illusion of permanence.
