@rodydavis @GoogleDeepMind Congrats !!

[Google @Google]

We’re continually delighted to discover that the most commonly translated phrases on Google Translate are often about gratitude, connection and love.

Some of the top Translate queries include:
🫂 “How are you?”
❤️ “I love you”
👋 “Hello”
🙏 “Please”

Often, the most commonly translated phrase isn’t a business term or a technical query — it’s simply: “Thank you.”

Eu podia morar em qualquer lugar do mundo...

Nova York. Miami. Lisboa. Dubai.

Escolhi o Brasil 🇧🇷 Moro em Florianópolis.

Passei os últimos 12 anos indo e voltando entre os Estados Unidos e o Brasil. Cada vez que voltava pros EUA, a contagem regressiva pra voltar começava no aeroporto.

Aqui eu janto com amigos às 22h numa terça-feira e ninguém olha o relógio.

Aqui o desconhecido no elevador puxa conversa de verdade, não só "how are you" com resposta automática.

Aqui o churrasquinho de calçada às 18h com um guaraná gelado tem mais qualidade de vida do que qualquer restaurante de US$200 em Manhattan.

Aqui eu saio de casa de chinelo, tomo um café na padaria da esquina, e volto caminhando pela mar.

Aqui a natureza não é um parque que você visita no fim de semana. É a sua vida. Praia, montanha, trilha, cachoeira... tudo a 20 minutos.

Nos Estados Unidos, as pessoas vivem pra trabalhar. Aqui, as pessoas trabalham pra viver. E ninguém pede desculpa por isso.

O Brasil tem seus problemas. Eu sei. Eu vivo eles todo dia.

Mas nenhum problema apaga o fato de que as pessoas aqui sabem viver. Sabem rir. Sabem acolher. Sabem transformar qualquer momento num momento bom.

Isso não se compra. Não se exporta. Não se replica.

É por isso que eu estou aqui.

@OfficialLoganK Congrats on the recent updates in the Google AI Studio dashboard. It's been a while since I used and tried today... better experience and performance.

IBM Z is the current version of the System/360 mainframe introduced in 1964. It now has AI embedded and is growing its installed base at a rapid clip (bottom left gray bars).

Important to understand this when thinking about enterprise software today: it's sticky and adaptable.

@kevin_sakemaer what are the services that use dart in the backend?

[Rubens de Melo @rubensdemelo]

The fact that you can use Dart in the backend, doesnt mean you should use it.

We have seen a lot of initiatives to use Dart in the backend and no one suceed

[Rubens de Melo @rubensdemelo]

@aloisdeniel we should Java 🤣

[Rubens de Melo @rubensdemelo]

@kevin_sakemaer the road to the backend is still open, but you can choose a different car. as you said, for some situations dart is a valid option, for sure, however, in general, no. otherwise, even Firebase would have added Dart runtime years ago. imo

[Rubens de Melo @rubensdemelo]

@riyazmd774 Im afraid you are a bit outdated. Google Flights is now powered by @Gemini and you can easily find flights and accomodations directly from the “source”. Prompt with you availability, destination and preferences.
