Google One = Google Drive + more space + Customer Service for around $2 a month.

Customer Service is not called Customer Service but Google Experts. What does this mean for actual service?

The thing I like/jumps out for me is no compressing of images. That is one of the reasons I decided to go with Backblaze for backup. I would still stay with backblaze as I am not so confident about Google keeping the product around.

"Your stuff, anywhere". I have managed to setup a upload workflow for Backblaze on my linux machine without going through a browser. Not sure if it is possible in Google One drive. Browsers crash/freeze at the most importune moments. Then I need to restart the upload and pray. There is no way to say upload only the diff (atleast as far as I remember). The extra upload just means increased cost.

Still somewhere, someone in Google has finally listened(?) to the community and heard that customer support is needed. This is an excellent step in the right direction, I suppose.
Regarding the hopeless comment: if the author is still alive the easiest way to get a copy is, well, by emailing the author.

Unless the author is a hotshot, they should be able to procure an electronic copy, even if it's was done in pre-word processing times.

Most authors would be flattered, not inconvenienced.
That is launched for a while now.

Yeah it's confusing but give them a break it's their first try. Maybe they'll make it make more sense by Google two.

No that statement does not state that tips are required for good service, it implies that if Europe had tips it would have better service than it does today. Obviously tips are not required for good service as many restaurants and even Japan as a whole manage to do it.
So now we are going to get 5 copy's of Google drive..
Isn't it obvious? "Google Drive is a storage service. Google One is a subscription plan that gives you more storage to use across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos"(from faq) One is storage and the other is storage.
Not sure what all the hate is about, I quickly figured out they were looking to sell me more storage space, though I do admit the page is really busy.
The attributes you reference are a function of culture and not DNA.

The Viking culture was replaced with a Christian culture.
In what seems to be a standard move for Google these days, the page contains no information about the product for me as it's not available in my area yet. Would someone care to post that information?
It’s an endless loop of ‘click here for pricing’ that goes to a page that doesn’t have pricing info and says to click another link for pricing...
there has been some progress on that front too with Flatpak

Don’t worry Linus, with Snaps and AppImages we’re hard at work fragmenting that front too!

LibreOffice has literally never parsed literally any corporate document I've ever received correctly.
Isn’t flatpak like npm where it just flat stores all the libraries? So it’s a huge waste of space ?
It seems like a kinda-sorta iCloud thing.

It's also a perfect example of how product management works at Google. It overlaps heavily with Google Drive and Google Photos and it probably only makes sense to the people who worked on it. Don't worry though, it will get cancelled just as soon as anyone can figure out what the heck it's for.
I agree, but the layman is just upset that he can’t have his cool gadget, so you need to soften them up a little to your views first I guess.

Everyone is so busy asking "what even is this?" that they're forgetting to ask the more typical question about a new Google product - "will this still be around next year?"
Like I said, I agree it’s a valid concern. My point was that for this kind of tech to be useful, it wouldn’t want to be that zealous with alerting otherwise the system would get flooded with false positives. That means door to door sales people, preachers, the postman, milk man, kids at Halloween, carol singers, etc.

Given this is an automatic sensor, people would just quickly just ignore it without even checking the footage - this even before any racial or social prejudices had chance to kick in.

We see this all the time with software monitoring solutions in IT what sysadmins ignore if they are too sensitive so my comment here isn’t without precedence either.

But essentially we are both arguing that an overly sensitive alarm is a bad thing - just from different perspectives. You make the point about discrimination and I make the point about the alerting being worthless in a sea of ignored alarms. Ultimately we’re both skeptical
Happy to be of help. People behind works like Firefox and Ublock Origin have done so much. Using their work is just another form of recognition that they so richly deserve.
It seems to be google drive but with paid support.
Several recent papers take steps to isolate weights from updates during training to prevent catastrophic forgetting. In the ODE formulation is there a way to do something similar?
Does the pricing make sense to anyone? 2TB is is $10/mo but 20TB is $200/mo. That means on a per-TB basis, the bigger plan is 2x as expensive. And then the 30TB is 2x as expensive as 20TB.

Aren't things usually cheaper when you buy bulk?
I like the list its a good mix but I agree more punk, certainly a Clash song should be on the list.
It could be, like you say, that Linux may have an entry point for power users.

But the complexity bar is way too high, even for the simple things, like setting a refresh rate.

I could understand it fitting people who enjoy a challenge. But for the power user, who just want fine control, and lots of it, it seems too much of an hassle, and windows simplicity but with enough settings, alongside many 3rd party easy customization tools, wins.
Is this to compete with Amazon Prime?
Does anyone blame John Oliver for all of this? A sort of Cold War of comments.

Sorry I actually meant it is tragic that this cannot be funded given that it is such a high climate change priority according to the article. The mitigation would be fairly cheap and long lasting, it might burn another 50 years
It was deployed in the US 10+ years ago but few merchants upgraded to terminals that supported it so contactless died off.
Remember that Tesla cars are still very expensive and more or less luxury vehicles. Once BMW, Porsche and Audi enter the EV market to compete, who would still buy a Tesla?

Its google drive but developed by a different team.
Google One is finally available in my country, although I was hoping for YouTube Premium, which isn't available yet.

Things to note:

1. Google's Drive File Stream is still not available for normal accounts, only for GSuite — I wonder why, because Backup and Sync is pretty shitty, at least on Macs

2. GSuite Business costs per user about the same price as Google One's 2 TB plan and you get essentially unlimited storage, Gmail on your own domain, a better ToS

In other words, GSuite is a much better deal, the only annoyance for people that are into Google Photos is that photos in your Drive won't appear automatically in G Photos (not covered by GSuite, different ToS) ... but that's probably a good thing :-)

So I'm wondering, for power users that would want this, why bother with Google One at all?

That's a really good idea. The annoying thing in Boston is that you might have two packages from the same order (looking at you, Amazon) arrive at different times on the same day.
I thought that first. With the exception that they exactly leave the Onedrive storage class (1TB, 60$/year) out. If you are happy with 200GB, the Google offer seems to be a lot cheaper. If you need up to 1TB, you pay twice than for Onedrive. Theoretically you can even count Office 365 Home as a 5TB, 90$ option, which makes it even yet cheaper. However that's a bit more of an unfair comparison, since it would involve the hassle of using multiple accounts (and I'm not even sure if the Onedrive app would allow that on a single installation).
A simple type-theoretic language: Mini-TT (2009) [pdf]
That’s usually the case, however they’re pricing for value, not some simple linear increase.

A business that needs 100TB (or whatever) has more to spend, and is much less sensitive to price.
Will never signup to this thing.

No clear plan how to monetize project , ask 100% of github accounts permission ?

Sounds like a terrible idea of something that could later be sold to companies selling advertising.
A lot of people are saying the page is really busy. Visiting on mobile (Firefox) this is probably one of the quietest landing pages I've seen:

A logo

A headline

Two short sentences

A sign up box

A note saying that paying customers will eventually automatically be upgraded.

That's it.

No pictures. No movies. No backgrounds. No parallax. No nothing.

Did they completely change the landing page since this was posted 20 minutes ago?
They're trying to discourage large amounts of data in a single account, probably because the solution is currently engineered to scale in O(cN), where c > 1. Can't think of any other reason. If the engineering scales O(logN), you'd see linear pricing as a way to make a killing in bulk.
Not necessarily. Many people pay for 2 TB without actually needing 2 TB. I currently pay for Dropbox Pro, which has 2 TB of space available, but I'm only using 300 GB. I'm pretty sure that at this point people going over 500 GB are a tiny minority.

When you pay for 30 TB on the other hand, you probably need it, so their actual cost might be reflected well in that price. This is basically the long tail effect, so when you optimize the price for the majority, price increases are not linear.

Every single C compiler worth mentioning will turn a switch statement into a jump table. The difference between a jump table and computed goto is only that one is `jmp [ecx+eax8]` and the other is `mov edx, [ecx+eax8]; jmp edx`. The later is faster because of weird branch prediction reasons, and no bounds checks in the switch.
Think this is a personal product, they have Google Apps or Suite or Drive or whatever for businesses.
I think one way to stop people asking "when will this be closed down?" is to keep them wondering "what is this?".

Oh psh optimizing compilers go way beyond this. In fact, even hand implemented VMs also generally go further. The technique above is called tail dispatch and is really just the beginning.
Typically. I guess this one has something to do with the target market. 2TB/10$ is still a reasonable offer for individuals. 100$/month would already be rather an offer for companies, and those might not care if it's 200 instead.
I think that indoor skydiving is closer to the Zero-G flight than the Zero-G flight is to the Virgin Galactic's space trip on a rocket launching from a plane, getting to Mach 2.9, getting an out-of-this-world view, and gliding to the landing. Do you disagree?

Your comment about the 80% of the value came out as dismissive of Virgin Galactic's achievement. This is a company that is trying to come back after a deadly crash that could've stopped further work and to initiate space tourism. I get the usual HN contrarian skepticism, as I've participated in it also, but to see this comparison as one of the top comments here is disappointing.

Well if we're talking about work then I agree. But for "normal user" things, the LibreOffice suite works just fine. I've only had minor incompatibilities with it day to day with casual use.
Two different examples representing two different dimensions to this:

(1) Say you're doing a minute long session and trying to catch auditory letter repeats that are supposed to occur around 5-8 times. On more fully featured N-Back progams you can reduce that number, so that only 1-2 repeats (say) occur. This can make it more difficult for some people because they hear too many false positives (if that makes any sense).

(2) You can change up the default parameters so that repeats are more finely staggered. For instance, take the following two strings:

AHJADCBWPORP (repeats are A and P)

AHPACPWBORJD (repeats are A and P)

The default setting for some programs will just create the first type of string, which can make it more predictable, and thus less mentally taxing. You can tune the parameters so that you get more strings like the second.

Wow this story is tragic all the way through. I hope the people involved can heal to any extent.
Not sure if the creator wants to monetize necessarily. He's a huge fan of open source and contributes to some really big projects.

I will say the permissions was a turn off for me as well though
I think you answered your own question - it's not targeting power users.

IMO it's targeting a few groups:

- Grandpa who wants to see all the family photos and is not completely behind technically

- Grandpa's kids who are tired of being tech support for him and also probably have lots of photos they would happily store with Google

- Generally, people 30-50 who want simple "just works" tech and probably will use the hotel discounts

As an aside, Jimmy Carr mentioned in a TV show a few weeks back that his friend had liver disease, and couldn't get a liver transplant on the NHS, so went to China and bought a liver off a man on death row.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97SjHFuZilI
I've seen it justified like this:

Company X goes to China. They do well, putting companies Y and Z out of business. Eventually they too are destroyed by new Chinese competition, but they make money until that happens.

Due to competition, this is inevitable. Somebody will be that company X. Be that company and live longer, or try to resist and die sooner.

It's a very pessimistic fatalistic view of things, simply assuming that local industry is doomed because the local industry is unable to enforce an agreement to stay out of China. It is assumed that any such agreement (if even legal) would have a defector. It may even be assumed that stockholders would demand being the defector.

The USA makes a feeble attempt to fight this via ITAR, but that doesn't help unless a regulator notices that something can be considered to be weapon-related.

How does sharing of space work?

Say if you get the 2 TB plan, will each family member get 2 TB, or will that 2 TB be shared between all family members?
There's been a continual oscillation between bring-your-dependencies (ranging from statically compiled executables, to composed things like docker containers, snaps, npm / ruby / php composer apps, etc.) and use-the-systemwide-stuff (like most linux apps).

The tradeoff is pretty obvious: on the one hand you get full control over what code you bring in, but you also get full responsibility of keeping it up to date and it does indeed take up more space. On the other hand you get systemwide updates, but also unpredictability which can break things.

In the former, you have a lot of work to do yourself to maintain your ecosystem between releases. In the latter, a greater amount of effort and responsibility goes onto those who maintain the packages at a distribution level to ensure mutually compatible package selections. This can be done (viz. most of the top tier distributions successfully doing this with occasional problems for decades) but we keep trying new all-in-one mechanisms every few years.

I'm not convinced that there's ever going to be a final answer to this, but it is clear that storage is cheap as chips...
In California, sure. That is not true everywhere. There's occasional stories of arrests over jaywalking in Atlanta and Detroit, and Nevada does list it as a misdemeanor, on par with:

* solicitation of prostitution
* DUI with no injuries
* trespass
* battery domestic violence (with no injuries)

https://www.shouselaw.com/nevada/misdemeanor-law.html

Same goes for littering in assorted jurisdictions. I'll concede that lumping those two as examples in a discussion involving Cali as context was misleading. The fine + 8 hours community service is for the infraction of littering in california. That is not to say that they are not misdemeanors elsewhere.
I admit I have never actually used Impress, so I'll take your word for it. But I have never had an issue opening ppts in Google Slides. The point being, there exist solutions for opening Microsoft Office documents on Linux that are good enough for average/casual users.
Sure, you can prove a minimal distance. Think of this problem as a metal chain. Each link of the chain enforces a maximal distance on the nodes it adjoins. The chain is bound on either end to some fixed point.

In an non-constrained case, sure, there's no-minimal link distance. You just have a pile of chain.

However, if you make the chain taut between the two points, say by decreasing the number of nodes in the chain or the maximal distance of links, the minimal distance between nodes then approaches the maximal distance between nodes. When you have a chain constrained to the straight line between the two points, the maximal distance between nodes is equal to the minimal distance between nodes.
And why is it your responsibility to compensate for bad customers, instead of their employer?

It's possible that not all companies run by the same person suffers from the same extent of problems. Square is doing quite well and has had a good reputation, unlike Twitter, despite both having been founded by Jack Dorsey. Apple has a culture of intense secrecy, occasionally broken by leaked rumors of authoritarian severity, while Pixar does not, despite both having been led by Steve Jobs in one way or another.
I bet Linux for the desktop will actually start when Microsoft ports Chromium-based Edge and Office apps to Linux for specialty users, primarily developers. I mean, if you want developer mindshare and apparently improving or replacing cmd.exe will never happen... it’s not like these proprietary apps aren’t possible to ship for Linux to run at least as well as they do on an Android phone...

git user experience is very bad, objectively and not because of the complexity or the learning curve. A good UX allows you to learn patterns which are applicable across the application. git, on the other hand, offers you an absolutely bewildering mismash of commands and switches to express whether the operation involves a remote, the index or the working tree. This could've been and should've been consistent but no such thing.

Beyond the consistency argument, Jef Raskin: Humane Interface argues for universal undo which git almost has via the reflog except it should've built a safety net for git reset --hard which is possible https://gist.github.com/chx/3a694c2a077451e3d446f85546bb9278 (and no, disk space usage isn't a concern for 99.99% of the codebases, "disk is the new tape" predates git _and_ even without that recognition most codebases are tiny) and then it could git undo happily.

Add these two and you have a user friendly git without taking away any power.
