Google broke the seek bar in YouTube v13.27

-
...

Google rolled out a new YouTube app update recently, but something was missing. As of version 13.27, you can't tap on the seek bar to go to a different location in the video. So, the seek bar is basically broken, which is a rather fundamental part of a video player.

Technically the seek bar still works if you use it in a particular way. In the new version, tapping on the seek bar no longer goes to that spot in the video. You can, however, tap on the dot indicating the current playback location and drag left or right. This workaround seems far from ideal to me, and it looks like every human being on Earth agrees. We've been getting tips, video proof, and links to Reddit threads about the issue. People are not happy.

The video above really drives home the absurdity of this situation. This is especially obnoxious because you can't tell what's wrong at first. You might think you missed the seek bar when you tapped, but no, it keeps happening. Some users seem to think the new seek bar behavior is intentional, but I can't imagine how any developer would think this is a good idea. My money is on a bug that Google missed in testing.

Who blinked first in Waymo v. Uber?

Waymo and Uber has reached a settlement in their self-driving car case. The announcement came as a big shock, even though I wrote yesterday that Waymo's case was looking oddly weak . Parties are free to settle in the middle of trial (heck, they can settle while the jury is considering a verdict, and they can settle even after the verdict is out) but it's pretty rare. For one thing, it's hard to think about negotiating when you're busy prepping for trial the next day. For another thing, if you were going to settle, you probably should have done it before. It's pretty messy to call off the boxing match in the middle of the third round. Taking any case to trial — let alone such a high-profile case — is messy and exorbitantly expensive, and on top of that, jury verdicts are unpredictable. Sure, by settling now, Uber and Waymo manage to avoid rolling the dice with the jury. But they still spent what was likely millions and millions of dollars on their top-billi...
