  • 6 things I learned from riding in a Google Self-Driving Car - The Oatmeal (theoatmeal.com)
    The unfortunate part of something this transformative is the inevitable, ardent stupidity which is going to erupt from the general public. Even if in a few years self-driving cars are proven to be ten times safer than human-operated cars, all it’s going to take is one tragic accident and the public is going to lose their minds. There will be outrage. There will be politicizing. There will be hashtags.

    I was wondering how long it would take people to spam Google Analytics. Looks like it's happening now. http://www.ditherandbicker.com/posts/2015-01-10-rip-google-analytics.html

    At first, it was striking that one day I booked a flight and then about two weeks later, my dashboard mentioned to me that I should leave 40 minutes early for my flight because of a traffic accident. It knew my flight information, when I should leave, and routes to the airport. I followed Google's suggestion and made it to the airport on time, taking an alternate route Google displayed for me. Once I landed, Google updated my dashboard about the currency exchange, surrounding events, restaurant reviews, foreign news, and more... it "knew" I wasn't home anymore, but across the world. It was initially strange, but with more trips and more experiences, I grew to like that Google could give me handy data.

    How is Google personalizing this map? I never check in on Google Places, only Foursquare, and somehow they are *only* showing businesses that I have been to on this map!

    Does Chrome submit URLs you visit to the Google search indexer?

    Today I surprisingly found a page in a Google search I was looking through, but I know I'm the only person who could have possibly visited the page.

    The page was a debugging URL I was using to monitor some server activity, and I never shared it with anyone or pasted it in any chat interface. It is even running on a non-standard port, so even visiting the root domain wouldn't lead a crawler to it.

    Is it possible that Chrome is submitting URLs I visit to be indexed by the Google search bots?
