In 2001 my car was towed from LAX parking lot because they checked the plate (they told me they scan all plates daily) and it came back as registered to a different make. Turns out…

> The problem with that is they'll find work for themselves to do, good idea or not, part of a coherent strategy or not. Isn't that exactly how Gmail came to be?

> I've never met a good, experienced developer who was a slow typist. You will. There is a reason "fast typist" was not a required skill in any software jobs I've ever applied for,…

> Opting to drive around a (stationary, visible from a distance) bag in an unpredictable manner is literally how Waymo's first "at fault" accident occurred... There wasn't anything…

I think you are in violent agreement with the parent post: "ability to remove people ... with little repercussion" literally means: they (authorities) can order people move, and it…

> I think you can agree that you're probably going to get fired. thesmallestcat claimed "that ex-Googlers cannot bad-mouth the company", and I claimed that no such clause exists in…

Google NDA covers (non)disclosure of Google confidential info. It has nothing to do with "bad-mouth"ing before or after termination of employment.

It doesn't matter how your candidates are distributed across the spectrum (and I do hope that your hires are not uniformly distributed ;-) What matters is how your scores compare t…

> I understand that part of the employment contract is that ex-Googlers cannot bad-mouth the company. You understand this based on what? Out of curiosity, I just went through my em…

> Do you work for Google? I do. I've also done 200+ interviews. > Googlers are known to come out to defend their employer on HN Well, sure. It's not because Google tells us to defe…

> I would never apply I guess you'll never know what (if anything) you've missed. > I'd end up working with a bunch of sycophants who are willing to do that sort of thing You are i…

4.0 is more like: I'll give up my job to get this person hired, she (or he) is that good.

Arguing to HC on behalf of someone I gave 4.0 (which is rare, and which I did give a few times) is something I would do gladly (and I expect most others will do as well). It's not …

There are no such incentives. When writing feedback, you simply look back at 20 other interviews where you asked the same question, and write "candidate X's performance on this que…

The article addresses this question: “I think this is the first time autonomous driving has been approached so strongly from a deep learning perspective,” says Tandon. “This is in …

Has Tesla delivered L4 car yet? Elon's claims notwithstanding, Tesla may actually be half a decade away from L4. > It's pretty sad how far behind ... Maybe they are just trying to …

Here you are using fixed passphrase and site name as the password, resulting in monosubstitution cypher, which is where the insecurity comes from. If you use site name as the passp…

Waymo is subject to the same reporting requirements as everyone else. Google's reports will likely be transferred to waymo.com site soon enough, and new ones will appear in due tim…

I've worked at Google for 8 years. The only way you are likely to see "another 100k on a good year" is if you sell all the RSUs you've got that year. I've see a few people "add a c…

"While it was stopped" is the key. It's hard to argue that a car stopped at red light violates anyone's expectation of how a human would drive.

When you are barreling down a highway at 65 miles per hour and are not paying attention (and you wouldn't, because the car drives itself just fine), giving you controls is much mor…

> I would personally never buy one of the Google (or any other) self-driving models with no controls. Google cars have the Big Red Button, which shuts off self-driving system and b…
