There absolutely is, in this case. Kaggle was acquired by Google in 2017, and is a showcase for compute on Google cloud, Google Colab, Kaggle Kernels. Fixing the JS on their forums would be a rounding error in their budget.
(Also, FYI, I've previously posted feedback pieces in Kaggle forums that got a very warm direct response from the executives, although that was before the acquisition.)
So, for the average website, you'd be right, but not for Google Cloud/Colab's showcase property.
> If Google is firing one of the most successful and active web developer relations people they have, it suggests a strategic downgrade of the Chrome, the web, and engagement in human developers.
A layoff is not firing. If Google is doing layoffs, they'll intentionally choose good performers so they can demonstrate it was done for purely economic reasons. Otherwise they get legal issues.
Besides that, Google may not trust its own performance metrics well enough to use them. The VP might assume the director is lying about who's important etc.
What is considered a "good healthcare plan"? Can you compare American insurance plans with Europe's ones?
92% of American had health insurance in 2023. Some people may have more than one insurance plans, thus the total number below is greater than 100%.
Of the subtypes of health insurance coverage, employment-based insurance was the most common, covering 53.7 percent of the population for some or all of the calendar year, followed by Medicaid (18.9 percent), Medicare (18.9 percent), direct-purchase coverage (10.2 percent), TRICARE (2.6 percent), and VA and CHAMPVA coverage (1.0 percent).
Other countries don't do that either. IIRC the main reason for this is that dentistry was invented very recently and dentists are frequently just scammers who love unnecessary procedures.
Does anyone actually have good dental insurance? I think mine just does a small copay when i clean but even before I had dental out of pocket for that is only like $70 every 6 months if you bother listening to dentist (most don’t after mom stops taking them up to having a bad tooth issue later in life). Any actual work done on my teeth even with insurance has been out of pocket because in the eyes of the insurance company, having functional teeth is a cosmetic matter. Extraction? Hope you have $2500 to pay an american dentist for that. Or you can get the exact same procedure done from someone with the same training and experience for about $700 if you drive or fly to Tijuana for it.
US Big Tech healthcare plans do. I don't recall last time I had to pay anything out of pocket for dental cleaning, for example, and it's covered 4 times / year. I had root canal and wisdom teeth extraction too, and while those had some copay, it was nowhere near the numbers you quote.
It is similar to Claude and now has the same annoying behavior where it always asks followup questions, but the personality isn't as good. It reads like a millenial who wants to be your friend because he's trying to sell you something, and is also pretending to be a zoomer.
