Someone chose to ignore Google Maps terms and publicly blog about it

These are just 2, what happened to all the other 1999 tech companies?


Because of the implication that markets are moved by amateurs and their hope?


Irrational exuberance the very thing this indicator was intended to track.


> When we first launched native image generation in Gemini 2.0 Flash earlier this year, you told us you loved its low latency, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.

I wasn't aware there is a channel where Google asks for feedback or where you are able to tell them that you love it. I only see a "report a problem button". Which channel is it?


Let me tell you about this app called “X”, formerly known as “Twitter”. People use it to post their opinions about products, among other things.


Frankfurt kitchen without a shower?


The shower is around the corner I just uploaded the bathroom pictures to the same URL.


I think the parent comment was referring to the original article. (You keep replying to comments throughout this forum as if people are talking about your personal project, which is confusing.)


Sorry about that. I'm just excited to see something so relevent to what I'm working on. I'm trying to contrast the comments about the original with the details I considered while trying to modernize.


Why worry about a shower if you're not qualifying for the rental anyway?


What does the mean?


A joke about renting an apartment in Frankfurt, or in any major German city.


I get it now... sorry.


80%? So this is either same Trump style "art of the deal" with setting unreasonable pricing in the first place or desperately needing customers?


Regarding Rust, are we talking about a Rust backend with RPC/REST or is it simply WebAssembly compiled from Rust? If the latter, how is the data synced for CRUD?


I'd say lawyer up, but then this is goliath..


Yeah, it feels like Goliath. But at the very least, I can try to get my voice heard.

I'll explore all options available to me.


I do not know where you live and why you think that Google is wrong publishing your personal address but I can share my own story from Western Europe.

I managed an online community for tens of thousands of people for 18 years. The domain was registered to a fake address, but once I started accepting ads, I had to register a business and list my home address in the public records.

I dealt with hundreds of advertisers, and the most obvious risk was that an adversary contacts me to publish an ad, gets my company details, checks online for company address and comes ripping my heart off.

Over these years, I received multiple online threats from various people... but none have ever have showed at my door step.

I still wonder why.

Did the users I blocked and banned never really felt offended because I tried to be professional and predictable in all circumstances?

Or was it just because finding my personal address required a bit of ingenuity which the most egregious perpetrators simply lacked?

P.S. And no, this was not a gaming community nor anime lovers forum, but a place where immigrants turned in for help.

P.P.S. Before downvoting... think again about the responsibility you take on when people pay you money in return for your service.

OP mentioned their app is free


I just Googled and it looks like even if the app is free, but account has been set to monetized at least once in the past, the address is displayed.

Back to my story... my online community was also free to join. This does not change much.

Once you start interacting with the world, expect the world to interact with you.


Absolute numbers are on a downward trend. But how about relative interest as a percentage of total?


I see a lot of "what did I tell you, look here, bad communist party product". But in reality most likely this startup isn't doing it out of malice. It's just one of many criteria that need to be met to do business in China. This does not lessen the achievement.


So the malice is there, it's just not the startup's malice, but the state's. Which de facto is the owner of the startup, because it's a communist state.
