#27: Long Google

Two weeks ago, I put 10% of my net worth into Google stock. This is a first for me: while I have held positions in other big tech companies over time, I’ve always shied away from Google because I don’t really understand advertising.

Yep. I had the exact same thought and proportionate response.

Preparing for Google Zero

How will we find customers when moats for distribution vanish?
Revenue recognition shouldn’t slow your business down—but too often, it does. As a CFO, I’ve seen how rigid systems, compliance hurdles, and manual workarounds make closing the books a nightmare.

More than valuations what will be decisive is how well the teams integrate. Most deals fail in the first 90 days after the closing. One thing is that cultural misalignment kills more deals than any financial metrics ever do.

Další epizoda ságy "Vydavatelé versus Google"

"Prosím, nalejte nám návštěvnost, ale nečtěte náš obsah a neukazujte ho. Jen pošlete ty lidi!"
A máme tu další díl nekonečného seriálu "Vydavatelé se bouří proti Googlu (a pak se vrátí s prosbami o odpuštění)". Tentokrát s hlavním padouchem jménem AI Overviews (AIO), který údajně způsobuje "existenční ohrožení nezávislé žurnalistiky". Jako někdo, kdo si pamatuje každou svatou válku s Googlem za posledních dvacet let, bych si mohl založit sázkovou…

How OpenAI Could Dethrone Google Docs

A speculative forecast
Last week the news leaked that OpenAI were working on a rival to Microsoft Office and Google Workspace. I wasn’t too optimistic in my initial reaction. The incumbents will have the advantage because I believe that the core paradigm of document suites won’t change dramatically with the introduction of Generative AI.

Data Science Roadmap from Google Data Scientist

I know how hard it is to search for a job. I personally had to apply to over 3000 jobs to get an internship and full time job. And this is exactly why, I provide all my resources and information for free. and I hope that even 1% of this can help you in your career. At the same time, I do this all by myself and don’t have anyone to help or any marketing …

I loved this, and it actually gave me terms to use as I have been struggling with why, even though I am not facing the pressures of a job, children, etc. and everything on my daily to-do list are actually things I want to do, I have still feel rushed. It's a feeling of Time poverty! Perfect. I suspect being in my mid 70s has added the sense of time poverty because I am now experiencing the relatively new pressure of "I don't know how much time I have left in life to get the stories I want to write, written" and the fact that so much more of my day is spent maintaining my body so that that I have the best chance of extending that time in healthy years. But, I have recently found that scheduling time when I will not multi-task; making sure that I include blocks of time each day to just be present in nature or read for pleasure; honoring the pleasure I get when I provide service to others, etc have been helping. But now I have a word for those days when I do feel like there is enough time - Time Abundance. So thanks!


AI could cause newsprint to outlive the hyperlink

What journalists do after Google Zero.
When it comes to journalistic intellectual property — what you and I normally call the news — there’s an inherent tension inside traditional commercial newsrooms between reporters (who do the journalism) and publishers (who have to pay for it).

I hate it, man.
Thirty years of old-fashioned journalism killed — I was laid off from my job as editor of a small daily 10 years ago. I’d still be covering my town if I could. Now, nobody is.

I entered the newsroom during the twilight of the Reagan Administration and spent a couple of decades writing from both staff and freelance positions at afternoon dailies (remember those?), morning dailies, weeklies, bi-weeklies, broadsheets and tabloids and at major metros, strong regionals and small locals and the glories of print newspaper reporting will simply never be replicated online. All of that is to say: organic reporting reaching a real readership and delivering a meaningful impact seems well within reach if publishers rediscover the promise of the newsprint medium. It doesn't need to be 'reimagined,' merely revitalized and pursued vigorously as a long-term investment. I pay top dollar to read The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal at my breakfast table each morning because I enjoy the read, the tactile experience and the complete absence of intrusive pop-ups and all with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that what stories I am choosing to focus on is unknown to anyone else other than my wife, who I occasionally disturb with a 'Jesus, honey, listen to this...' The groundwork for a rebirth of print news reporting has already been established.

Big-tech musical chairs: Windsurf exits OpenAI’s orbit, lands at Google, and the Gemini playbook gets fatter. Will this spark an arms race for specialized teams, or just more fragmented ecosystems?

The breakup drama is riveting, but I’m most interested in whether Google will loosen the IP reins that tripped up Microsoft and OpenAI. Developers could use a win on licensing clarity.

“OK Google, Make Middle School Suck Even More!”

One father’s descent into seventh grade Chromebook Hell
Ever wish you could go back and relive seventh grade – that magical nine months of puberty, pimples, and soul-crushing insecurity? Of course not. A double root canal sounds more fun. But I think most of us retain at least a kernel of morbid curiosity about middle school – like subconsciously rubbernecking at some ghas…

John, your experience corresponds almost exactly with mine, after my son entered an LAUSD middle school last year. I organized a group of equally-appalled parents & teachers, and we’re starting to fight back against these (bananas) policies.

My friend, I'm an elementary school teacher with a master's degree in Learning and Technology, and my students' classroom experience is almost entirely unplugged. I'm intensely picky about the learning tools I provide, so when I do have them use their Chromebooks (and don't get me started on those pieces of busted-ass shit (I have feelings)), web monitoring and limiting software is crucial. Being able to see their screens, shut them down, redirect them, or restrict them to a pre-approved domain - like Chrome Music Lab during free time, or PebbleGo for animal research - is the epitome of micromanagement and a pain in the ass, but it's the only way I've found to keep control over what's going on at their desks. Also, Ctrl+Shift+T reopens closed browser tabs. That's a fun tool to have in your back pocket.
