Yeah, this is my thought too. Except they should run it in both modes, so they can easily detect a discrepancy and hence a cheating attempt.
They should be running the benchmark at least 2 or 3 times and averaging the results anyway, and so 1 or 2 extra runs with the unlabeled version, and see if the performance is out of line with the standard average, would not be increasing the overall test duration by much.
Laws have always been enforced through the state's monopoly of force.
The U.S. Is quite capable of projecting it's force anywhere in the world, although they don't have a global monopoly (which is why there's no global government).
"Really this is something that one should evaluate based on the interview"
Oh yeah, I'm sure asking "what is your policy for laying people off" would be a real great question to ask in an interview. Doesn't raise any red flags at all.
Yeah, how about you let *them* make the decision of whether you're worth interviewing or not. They know the nature of their business and they've seen your CV, so if you do have some unique skills they might want to interview anyway.
Also putting up a huge display may seem expensive but there are cost savings from having a large area with no windows - cheaper heating/cooling bills for the building as a whole.
But you can do that without putting big displays on the building, so you get your "cheaper heating/cooling bills" and then also don't have the expense of the displays.
You need to factor in the whole system cost. AMD cpus might be cheaper per instruction, but if you need a certain number of instructions per second, it is likely that 8 full Intel systems, even though the cpus cost more, would be cheaper than 10 full AMD systems.
Also managing 8 machines generally will be slightly easier than 10, although obviously there's also slightly less redundancy.
There are cases when even the people who own it, aren't sure who actually owns it.
One case is No One Lives Forever, and old critically acclaimed game. There is a company who resurrects old games and gets them to run on modern OSes who wanted to resurrect NOLF. The publisher couldn't work out which companies and individuals actually owned the property, and didn't consider it important enough to bother doing the legal archeology to find out, and so NOLF is now in abandonware - of the owners can't even be bothered to agree to 3rd party developers paying them money, it seems unlikely they'd ever try and asset Copyright against individuals.
Yes, but google isn't creating the A vs B ads themselves. Your company would be doing that, and then using Google to get the research, instead of placing the ads in magazines.
So Google has replaced the magazines for your company, but your company are still the people making the A and B designs to begin with.
> Google and Facebook each has a market value exceeding the combined value of the six largest advertising and marketing holding companies.
Yeah, but Google and Facebook aren't in the business of making ads for clients, like those advertising and marketing companies almost assuredly are.
Google and Facebook should be compared to newspapers, TVs and roadside billboards.
Companies will still be using those marketing companies to create the content, and then Facebook/Google is where they place the content for eyeballs to see it.
Except that people thinking he's stupid, if it's a widespread belief, will affect his legacy. I think it's highly likely that upon leaving office he's going to be ranked in the bottom 5 of US presidents in history. A wide spread belief that you're stupid and don't know what you're doing is what helps land you at the very bottom of that list.
He obviously cares what people think about him - that's why he's defined "fake news" to be any reporting on him that is negative, and why he re-tweeted a poll early on in his tenure that showed 50% approval rating - when the average as tracked by 538 was more like 37%.
Slashdot Mirror
The board refer to him as a co-founder.
People can already do this with regular stores. The fact that regular stores have cashiers is not what stops people doing this.

Sounds like they're copying from John Key's playbook. They were so enamoured with him, for some reason.
Except you left out the obvious actual comparators for Amazon: Apple, Google and Microsoft.
Apple, $229B revenue, $48.3 profit, $941B valuation. Ratios: 4.1x revenue, 19.5x earnings
Google, $110B revenue, $12.6B profit, $859.6 valuation. Ratios: 7.8x revenue, 68.2x earnings
Microsoft, $90B revenue, $21.2B profit, $836.5B valuation. Ratios: 9.29x revenue, 39.5x earnings
So amazon looks most like Google at the moment, but I suspect Amazon has more headroom for profit growth in the short term than Google does.
Does referring to it as "grey sources" make you feel better about the piracy you engage in?
"The study's most interesting finding was that between 17 and 77 households "would need to use Internet filtering tools"
Oddly specific, but why the large range? And why so few households, presumably out of an entire country?
Yeah, how about you let *them* make the decision of whether you're worth interviewing or not. They know the nature of their business and they've seen your CV, so if you do have some unique skills they might want to interview anyway.
How about you cite some of these "many surveys".
"Millions" of tech workers in any city in the world? I think maybe you live in a bubble if you genuinely think this.
You'd never been out of a city your entire life, at night time?

Google are competing with newspapers - and as you've identified, they are beating newspapers handily at their own game due to superior technology.
Google are not competing with Saachi and Saachi, which is whom the article compared them with.

Quick Google shows the chevy bolt battery costs $15,700. Nice FUD you got there.
Vroomtones. They already exist.

Or, Trump actually has dementia, and there are things that he used to know, that he now doesn't.
Do what Steve Jobs did and buy a new car every 90 days so you can exploit the loophole of not having to have a numberplate.
