Let's say you have 100000 documents in your index that match your query but only 10 of them the user has access to: A basic implementation will return the top, let's say 1000, docu…

Well if you don’t have a pretty good idea of the problem you’re solving for the customer, you’re much better off trying as many things as you can, quickly and cheaply, to figure ou…

Do you know that the big expensive thing is what your customers actually need? Do you actually know what your customers need? That’s basically the only important context. If you ca…

Did they remove it? It says the researchers provided a notebook that they used to verify the attack.

Or do I…

All this setting does is make the feature available to you in the frontend -- it's up to you to use it or not!

In adtech a first price auction is also a single round.

You gotta save that optimization for when performance ends up on a top level OKR!

I'm not defending this at all, but one of the reasons why there are no (or few) humans that can be contacted is that they* said that it was tried before and it caused a lot more is…

This was maybe 8 or so years ago so I'm not sure what else this unnamed ticketing company added since... but permissions were pretty lax at that point and had JUST started to tight…

A ticketing company was experimenting with BLE beacons to trigger things like seat upgrades and coupons when people walked by certain things in a venue… or at least that’s what the…

They cut non-business critical travel which many employees for some reason felt was a perk of the job. I heard second hand that some employees would do "office tours" just to try t…

Whether intentional or not, the way you presented these (including the one about CGI) is how these sorts of conspiracies get wings and spread. "Oh of course this is not true... exc…

All the surrounding areas of Ann Arbor are reasonably priced. I live in Dexter (working remote) and love it here. Close enough to go to Ann Arbor whenever I want but far enough awa…

They sometimes (often) have "last look" -- so a bunch of companies compete to win an auction against each other, and then Google gets a chance to win against the winner of those. T…

We use GCPs equivalent of spot instances (preemptibles) to great effect as well. It actually works better at larger scale since a smaller % of your machines get preempted at a give…

This is the reason they're introducing FLoC in the first place: https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/privacy-sandb...

There's two sides to the equation though (I work on Supply Side ad tech). There's a huge amount of content that people are just not willing to pay for, but would gladly view ads. Y…

That's one way to look at it, and certainly a view that many share -- but isn't that more likely to attract regulatory scrutiny instead of deflect it? I sit in on many of these W3C…
