Google often feels like a disorganized company with constantly shifting priorities, and a big reason behind that is the lack of top-down initiatives from the CEO. That means the real driving force behind most projects at Google are mid-level executives who show up with grand plans and then leave—either in disgrace or triumph—when those initial plans run their course.
Makes a lot of sense. There doesn’t seem to be a unifying strategy behind anything google does. I also think theres a vicious circle going on here: google has a loyalty problem, which could be solved by long term thinking, usually done by loyal employees, but employees don’t stick around long enough.
It isn’t a problem with long term employees. The problem is that promotion at Google typically relies on developing new products. Long term employees aren’t incentivized to improve existing products.
Oh that’s interesting, I wasn’t aware of this. Is it an unspoken policy? Or its an over reliance on “innovation first” pseudo-management?
I think it’s more like a pattern observed in many of the blog posts about the reasons ex-employees left Google after a while.
I think it was a mistake for Google to jump into AI last minute. I think they should of offered separate AI products and let growth happen naturally. Meanwhile Microsoft and OpenAI will shoot themselves in the foot.
Being a normal non AI focused company would of been a good look. They could simply have some basic AI tools that are actually useful.
Another one bites the dust?
I never use these apps, I just don’t trust them at all. In a world of cyber security worries, we put all of our financial info on an app and a phone and expect everything to be safe. I’m just old school. Safety over convenience… as I am In an uber. Lol
Phone payments are magnitudes more secure than card payments as they basically are equivalent to using a brand new card and throwing it away for each transaction (in simplified terms)
I’m just old school and I always think of a phone snatch. But I understand what you are saying.
You still need biometrics, passwords, pins.
I get the nerves, but I can’t find any reasonable way it’s less secure
Fair enough… I’ll just pay with IOU’s 😂😂😂😂
Well,
…
That’s what the chip on the card does too. It’s an embedded computer that generates one time codes just like the phone.
The main difference is that the phone typically has an extra security measure, like requiring the screen to be on to pay (but you can get a mesh wallet which prevents tap from working); or the phone needs to be unlocked, which is actually useful.
You should look up info about phone payments and temp card numbers in order to reduce some of your fears. Also, check out what is actually stored in epay apps when there’s a connection through a provider, like a bank integration or an integration to another epay partner.
PCI security is about as high as you’d expect from companies that tell consumers they won’t lose their own money to fraud. When it’s the bank’s money, you’d better believe they care.
There are far easier ways to get someone’s money and this ain’t it.
