Enabling ethical AI innovation world wide...occasional u/w photographer

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

How is Google scaling the next generation of global innovation? By providing much more than high-level advice and giving founders deep architectural support.

My new @GoogleCloud blog post covers:
🤖 AI-native robotics tracks with @GoogleDeepMind
🌍 Our 90+ country accelerator footprint

Google Cloud Next is coming in Las Vegas (April 22-24). Should be a great (developer) event!

@mjasay Because United gets away with crap... much of the rest of the league, not so much.

@shanselman @shanselman

So very true... have a passion in life (or several), but it doesn't have to be expressed through your code. That's called a... job.

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@Jason Can you stop showing up on the All in Pod?

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@octav Does this mean you would stop tweeting? Hmm...

;)

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@mehdig Not even close... 2001.

@rahafharfoush @Airport_FRA Nobody has argued that point... only that you booked that connection.

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@rahafharfoush @Airport_FRA You posted it for public consumption. Given the number of people that transit through FRA without issue it seems like a balanced view would be beneficial.

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@mjasay @rseroter @googlecloud There are a lot of people involved in enabling this capability. More leaning in each day...

After a few days in Tokyo, the remnants of Typhoon Mawar is pushing us to head south. Time to dive Raja Ampat.

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@rahafharfoush @Airport_FRA Mmm... not really. You can buy air tickets with 30 min connection time that you have almost zero chance of making (000's of travelers learn this every day). FRA has a number of issues, but transfer times isn't usually one of them.

Best laid plans...

@bgurley @VivekGRamaswamy Actually, how about just not subsidizing oil in the US (basically $11.25 per barrel of crude oil or $0.28/gallon).

@VivekGRamaswamy - if US consumers paid the unsubsidized rate at the pump, or closer to what Europeans pay, then we would see an even faster move to EV.

@davemcclure @gmiller Why was "Guns, Germs & Steel "difficult?" Possibly eye opening or controversial, but not really difficult.

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@joshelman Actually, "fancy" is not something I look for in salsa.

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@mehdig @octav So far ahead of our time. $B idea as well

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@Jason

In this case not true. Twitter #FailWhale'd, big time.

To suggest anything else is "fake news."

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@cote Sure... however, those cuts don't manifest to the expense line nearly as cleanly, so much harder to show the street real savings.

@LunaticAtLarge @united With lose to 3M miles on @united, I've never seen this. Did they say they were some how rolling your upgrades forward. Their standard operating procedure is the redeposit points if they upgrade doesn't clear. This usually happens in a couple of days.

Or was it the $?

[Matt Thompson @DeveloperFish]

@Jason Actually, it was more of a giant #FailWhale
