Today I’m excited to announce that I’ve joined Google.When meeting with current and former Googlers, I continually find myself drawn to their intelligence, passion, and enthusiasm — as well as a universal desire to share it with others. I’m also impressed by Google’s commitment to enabling these same talented people to tackle some of the world’s most interesting and important problems.I can’t wait to contribute my own experience from a dozen years of building online communities, and to begin the next chapter of my career at such an incredible company.

Il apparaît que les données de Google sont beaucoup moins efficaces pour prédire la course démocrate. Dans les caucus de l’Iowa et du Nevada, sur l’ensemble des recherches, une majorité concernait Bernie Sanders. Dans les deux cas, Hillary Clinton a pourtant gagné d’une courte majorité. Même chose en Caroline du Sud, où il y a eu moins de recherches sur Mme Clinton que sur M. Sanders. « Les gens font plus de recherches sur Bernie Sanders que sur sa rivale, dans l’absolu », commente Seth Stephens-Davidowitz. Pour expliquer ces contre-exemples, il faut s’intéresser au profil des électeurs : Bernie Sanders séduit les jeunes, très à l’aise avec les nouvelles technologies. Hillary Clinton est populaire chez les démocrates plus âgés, qui passent moins de temps en ligne mais se déplacent plus pour voter.

This was a minor crash with serious implications: Google’s autonomous vehicles have been in accidents before, but the tech giant was always quick to note that its technology was never at fault (the cars tend to get rear-ended at red lights). It may not be able to say that anymore.

For Google, this is a competitive necessity. Facebook has improved the speed of stories in its walled garden with Instant Articles. Apple News provides a streamlined experience on iPhones for those who use it. Google’s turf is the web, and the company doesn’t want to lose out to more user-friendly spots outside its reach on your phone. Speed matters on mobile. Google wants to make sure you know it serves up stories just as fast as everywhere else.
Google vs Facebook vs Apple against the Open Web.
