Where does Google publicly promise they don't do this?

For example, there's https://policies.google.com/terms/information-requests?hl=en...

"""When we receive a request from a government agency, we send an email to the user account before disclosing information. If the account is managed by an organization, we’ll give notice to the account administrator.

We won’t give notice when legally prohibited under the terms of the request. We’ll provide notice after a legal prohibition is lifted, such as when a statutory or court-ordered gag period has expired.

We might not give notice if the account has been disabled or hijacked. And we might not give notice in the case of emergencies, such as threats to a child’s safety or threats to someone’s life, in which case we’ll provide notice if we learn that the emergency has passed."""


While true, the predominance of evidence for evolution has reached the point that anybody attempting to argue against it would have to produce absolutely enormous amounts of self-consistent evidence that explains our observations better than modern theories of evolution. It's sort of like the laws of thermodynamics, or relativity, or quantum physics- if you found convincing evidence that any one of those was not accurate, and came up with a better explanation, it would both completely transform science, and open up new avenues for discovery.

And if you want to do that, you should probably get a deep set of experience; otherwise, it's not much different from a flat earther.


the heat generates plasma out of gases surrounding the ship, which prevents EM wave transmission. https://www.colorado.edu/lab/ngpdl/research/hypersonics/radi...

I suspect they were instead referring to patents; for example, when I worked at Google, they told the engineers not to read patents because then the engineer might invent something infringing, I think it's called willful infringement. No other employer I've worked for has every raised this as an issue, while many lawyers at google would warn against this.

This was definitely covered in my middle school classes (although those were 40 years ago). Standard US public school. We spent a fair amount of time discussing the Antipope, it always sounded like such a cool job name.

We also read Genesis in English classes (from a literary perspective).


You're posting multiple repeated AI slop articles.

It looks like a press release of an university rewritten using AI.

Also, the graphic at the top makes no sense. The text is probably correct, but the arrows point to random parts of the molecules.



Example: Shoreline Amphitheater, near Google HQ in Mountain View. Built on top of a landfill. For a while in the 80s, there were occasionally small fires during shows when people lit cigarettes. Google also harvested the methane and used it to power some stuff, although I can't find an authoritative article with details.

Everything changed in the past 6 months and coding LLMs went from being OK-ish to insanely good. People also got better at using them.

Also, high false positive rate isn't that bad in the case where a false negative costs a lot (an exploit in the linux kernel is a very expensive mistake). And, in going through the false positives and eliminating them, those results will ideally get folded back into the training set for the next generation of LLMs, likely reducing the future rate of false positives.

I hear this literally every 6 months :)


It hasn't been true forever, but it has been true over the last 18 months or so.

In my case I have AT&T Fiber that IIUC carries ethernet frames encoded optically.

But then you'd need the "somewhat specialized card" to turn a Linux box into a "CPE" - a fiber transceiver.

For another perspective on this, see the book Shroud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shroud_(Tchaikovsky_novel)), there is all sorts of nifty commentary on oxygen related to your point.

(it's a great book in general, but the bit about our use of a volatile gas for a living environment is pretty neat)
