Trump's Looming $100B+ Distraction and Productivity Crisis

Each year, American businesses are confronted with estimates that upwards of $2 to $4 billion in worker productivity is lost thanks to employee office pools around March Madness, the month-long college basketball championship tournament. Conventional wisdom has it that the tens of millions of players may physically check in to the office, but mentally are somewhere else, working at half speed, sapping dollars from their employer.

That single digit billion dollar gap is trivial compared to what the country has likely already seen after a year-long torture test of a presidential campaign, followed up with the looming tenure led by a person whose unpredictability and lack of respect for historical precedent, combined with a filter-free ability to share his half-formed thoughts with the world has everyone guessing what headline will flare up next.

How Google Cloud Saved Pokemon Go from Collapse
#cloud #google #pokemon #pokemongo

"The game, which relies on more than a dozen Google Cloud Platform services, created far more network traffic than Niantic thought possible, ultimately generating five times the demand Niantic expected under its worst case scenario."
Pokemon Go's creators reveal how they worked with Google to keep the service afloat in the face of explosive demand.

Dogs. Kids. Baseball. Trees. Food. Pixel Photos.
#android #photography

I'm no photographer, like +Thomas Hawk, +Trey Ratcliff or +Terrie Gray, but for the last few months, I've been taking pictures with the Google Pixel phone, which we recently announced.

Here are some of my favorites of simple things. Dogs. Kids. Baseball. Trees. Food.

This phone and camera are so good they make my random shots look good. It also helps my kids are cute.

Google Pixel: Better than the iPhone 7
#android #youknewthis /via +The Verge

"On the basis of my extended experience with Google’s Pixel, I consider it an all-around better phone than the iPhone 7. "
A few moons ago, I wrote some words under the title of "The Google phone is almost as good as the iPhone," and while I stand by the content of those words, I now have to revise my conclusion. On...

This is just a tree. But it's also a great example of how the Pixel can make excellent photos from simple landscapes. This is an amazing camera on the best phone, period. #Android #Photography #Pixel

I avoid pictures of trees for camera comparisons because even the lightest wind will make the leaves look fuzzy.
