How are you managing such low data use?
I easily burned through 1gb in my first week (partly due to my podcast app downloading 400mb -> me changing the settings -> it downloading 200mb the next day -> me finding the right setting to block it from using mobile data).

I've been keeping mobile data turned off unless I explicitly need to use it. I turned it on last night to google something quickly, and it managed to use 60mb.

Can't wait to go back to mintsim after I satisfy the 4 month requirement from their cyber Monday deal.

For someone who wasn't around for all of that fun, thank you for helping add a little context to his words.
You could separate the rendering logic from the game logic and create messaging channels for them... Also, the game specific code is rarely worth anything without the assets... that's why Id has released these codebases, so that people can learn/adapt... the assets retain copyright, etc. Also, you can separate out the game runtime from launcher parts... the launcher can contain other communication channels and be responsible for delivering assets.

As I said, it isn't even about creating a perfect abstraction, just enough to minimize the effect of piracy.
That's illegal, though, for exactly that reason, so I'm not sure what your point is, other than that you have a problem with scofflaws in your neighborhood.

I'd like somewhat less emphasis on closing tickets and more on a big picture.

Not everything is best represented as a ticket, but JIRA has tended to make management think it can get useful data from it, and that the useful data is "tickets closed" or "time logged". Then employees just optimize for that...

Now, one can have tickets open for the purpose only of tracking work towards larger goals -umbrella tickets if you wish- and structure as much work as possible this way. This is cultural, not so much about the technology, but it needs to be widely adopted. Then you can have task, trouble, bug, etc. tickets that you fit (or don't) into these structures.

Customization of various things is important, most notably ticket status. JIRA does have that, but it'd be even better if it came with good statuses to begin with.

CLIs please. REST JSON APIs please. Email->ticket->email please.

Indeed. An interesting experiment would be to go on https://www.theguardian.com/uk and search for the word 'vest' or 'gilet'. Then go on Twitter and independently decide how newsworthy/baghdad-like Paris is.
This really hits home. Probably 99.999% of users won't have issues with Google's products / services, but if you're one of the unlucky few, you're helpless.

All you can hope for is to make enough noise on the internet to get a Googler's attention. None of the normal escalation channels work.

My issues with Project Fi / Google Store were not resolved via their online chat, nor their phone support, nor emails to their product support, nor any of my posts on their product support forums, nor any tweets at various Google accounts.

Only after a blog post received attention on Reddit did I get a call from head of support who was able to resolve my issue.
Google might. They do more than advertising, including selling services. They might happily make Google Drive compatible with Solid—especially if this helps break the Solid monopoly.

Facebook, probably not so much. Their business model is data harvesting.

Regarding Solid, note that we don't want to overthrow or replace any existing social networks. We start with offering experiences they cannot offer due to their siloed nature.

You're not wrong, but you don't have to point it out like it's a revelation. The disclosure is prominently displayed at the head of the article.
I think the whole crux of the issue is that any one Googler wouldn't have enough oversight to answer.

Google is too complex of an organization, and the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. So issues become lost between CS, security, and accounting.

I've seen this from the other side. I've also seen it get mitigated by giving someone (customer service) ownership of the problem, and giving them enough organizational support to twist arms in other departments as needed.

I actually had the polar opposite experience. I had a complex support issue with my pixel 3 delivery and I got irritated because support was constantly escalating and shunting to different teams. While it was a bitch to fix the problem and took awhile, to Google's credit they did eventually do so and went the extra mile for me to extend a promotion and honor a referral code which they certainly didn't need to do.

Anyone looking for something similar with a better keyboard, may want to look at the board designed by GreyCat (https://greycat.co/goods/) which comes with a screen, blackberry keyboard, trackpad and LORA module for long range communication as it uses an ATmega2560, so uLisp should work on it also. Personally I wish they'd put a esp32 instead so that wifi would also be available.
I'm probably not the strawman you thought you were talking to, but I'll bite. I'm nervous about the prospect of buggy/vulnerable self-driving programs, but I'd say I'm even less comfortable sharing the road with the dozens of texting drivers I see everyday, and the several drunk drivers I report each year, along with many more that I just don't see, and the multitudes who can't be bothered to use their turning signals or check blinds spots on the highway.

She should sue Google. Serious response. This kind of thing is bullshit, and she has a legal right to have the number ported, especially if she’s been willing to pay the bill and has not been able to due to Google’s technical problems.

File a lawsuit for the value of the time she’s had to spend on it and an order to show cause or temporary restraining order type motion for them to release the number to her.

It’s too bad the legal system is so intimidating to people because more people doing this might one day wake companies up a little.

Needless to say this doesn’t contradict the advice to not use the service in the first place.

Almost certainly not. The FCC approval process would likely catch that. Lasers are also far more focused then microwaves (typical spot size of a cheapo laser pointer is 12cm at 100m away; police LIDAR is good to target a single car out to at least 1/4 mile).

There's three ways to raise money. You can finance it (debt) or you can sell ownership (equity), or the last one, people can randomly throw money at you and expect nothing in return. The last method of raising funds are donations, those aren't an asset that can produce dividends, or earn interest, that's the opposite of an investment, it's an expense. A charitable one generally to get more favorable tax incentives.

Of course you can have equity in a non profit. That doesn't mean your entitled to profits that don't exist, it means you have a stake in the organization. And the # of outstanding stocks versus the # of stocks held by the general public is a tiny fraction of what the Packers are worth, but again those silly pieces of paper are not proof of equity or ownership, it's literally memorabilia fans traded cash for a piece of paper that says they own something even though they have no power of ownership, the annual shareholder meeting is for show, so to call it an investment like a traditional stock would be isn't fair, it's really not the same thing.

What you are describing is development office, going out to ask for donations for a cause. That's not the same as running a venture that's going to make profit for shareholders.

Economics is, as the first economist for Google put it, "intellectual prostitution". You can justify any policy with the right amount of jargon. The interesting bit isn't really the economics but the moral assumptions behind it. To tax or to not tax the rich, to raise the minimum wage, to redistribute wealth, are all moral issues. And nothing gets people more riled up than differing moral opinions

Not really the same. With chromecast audio I could cast google play music, spotify, etc. to it from my device and the chromecast itself would be streaming the music. With bluetooth you have to stream music to it from your device so it uses up the device's battery life and also the audio quality would be degraded.

Yes, BankId is a valid identity provider for all Norwegian government services online, in addition to your bank. There are 4 other valid identity providers.
The thing that gets glossed over in most tax debates is that every tax system has its own wrinkles.

For instance in Switzerland you pay tax on the imputed rent of a home you own. In Denmark you can can come as a foreigner and pay 27% for several years. In the UK you can claim non dom and avoid tax on all overseas income. In Malta corporations pay 35% but get back 30 quite soon.

The brackets and deductibles are also all wildly different.

And most importantly the taxes are paying for very different levels of service.

So there's no sensible way to compress that into a headline without asterisks.

That's not to say I don't think it's a worthwhile debate, just that a number of commentators seem to be going directly to economic theory, which generally does not address these wrinkles.
Via the article: "(FireEye) advised administrators to take a variety of measures, including:

I wish that were a safe assumption, but many, many--perhaps most--low-wage workers have jobs that keep them just below the full-time threshold so that the employers do not have to provide insurance.

One good way to find our about why it's so difficult to get by on ~$30k is to talk to someone (or multiple people) who make that little. You'll find that the vast majority of the time the fantasy that they blow their money on iphones and drugs evaporates, and the reality that healthcare, housing, childcare, student loan payments, etc are all much more expensive than you've estimated shines through.
Slack Is Planning for Direct Share Listing Instead of an IPO
Don't really know why it's canned though. I thought it was a great iterative product. Before this, didn't think they could do something like the Chromecast again (hardware whise).

But the Chromecast Audio is just so simple and effective. I'm really curious about the sales numbers, to understand why they canned it. Otherwhise, it doesn't make business sense.

I have like 5 chromecast's laying around and dealing them to family/friends for gifts. To some, even just because i think they will love it. Even after a year, suddenly someone starts to use it (this was the normal Chromecast) and they start to love it.

It's one of the reasons i can say a lot: "told you :p"

PS. If anyone of Google would read this, would love to have a license on the Chromecast audio. I'm a small webshow owner that actually recommends quite a lot of Google products as a Software Developer.

Yes. I'm not saying it is as bad as selling the information verbatim to banksters to collect someone's debt.

However, it's still selling personal information to adbuyers. And, I don't think you can say "nobody is successfully using ads to determine ad clickers general location with a X mile radius".

This surveillance thing is getting out of hand and Google is annoyed that shady corporations tries to get ground which might bring new laws.
I think when engineers answer these questions it's easy to get bogged down in issues like whether something is a single process linked together or whether you have multiple processes communicating with one another. I don't think these arguments have serious legal merit.

The question at hand is whether the game you are making is a work based on the engine. If true, to comply with the GPL you must release source. Establishing communication channels so that you can put your game logic and the engine in separate processes are not a silver bullet, they don't change the question of whether your game is a work based on the engine, they mostly change the mechanics of how your game is a work based on the engine. There are a lot of difficulties in making this argument.

The court is probably not interested in hearing about whether different components are running in the same process and linked together or whether they are running in separate processes and communicating through IPC. At best, I'd say that you're running the risk of an expensive court case, and at worse I think you stand a good chance of losing it, not having enough money to fight it (because the legal arguments are quite sophisticated), and suffering from things like DMCA takedown notices in the meantime.

I think the trap that software engineers fall into, far too often, is that we try to answer legal questions using the same techniques we use to solve technical questions. The question of, "Is this an executable?" or "Does this use dynamic linking?" is something you can answer based on your definitions of what an executable is. However, legal arguments don't happen in such a mechanical fashion. Contracts and laws are written in prose, not code, and they are interpreted by humans which are basically trying to do understand some combination of "what did the author mean?" and "how would people generally interpret this sentence?"
The parent post concerns me as I use Google Domains. Now I'm hoping that also brings me up to that level of support.
I think Puttgarden–Rødby is more likely. It used to be served by diesel ICE trains and it was really fun to ride onto a big old ferry on one of these unusually short ultra-sleek trains, get off the train, walk a lap around it, then go up to the open-air deck and stretch your legs a bit.

There’s still a direct Hamburg–Copenhagen connection via that ferry, but it’s now a normal Eurocity.
No: blockchain technologies are about reaching decentralized agreements. Solid is about everyone being able to write their own things (so no agreement) without centralized parties.
I think using Lua scripting like that still counts as "dynamic linking" from the point of view of the GPL.

Google is, fundamentally, an engineering company. Despite their size and breadth, they still don't understand customer support. Their approach is to use software to solve problems, and they insist on doing so even when it's clear that software isn't up to the task.

Unfortunately, customer support is a hard problem. Despite all of the advances in NLP, I still abhor automated customer support systems when I have a complex issue. Just let me talk to a human.

Google long ago ran the numbers on providing human customer support and realized it's not the sort of ultra-scalable business function that they like to invest in. Rather, they'd like to believe that they can build software systems that don't require human customer support. As an end user, this feels like too much hubris and not enough empathy. It may work from the perspective of a product manager looking at percentages on a dashboard, but it sucks as someone in the real world trying to get something done with one of their products that's not functioning as it should.

I use the full suite of Google Products, including Project/Google Fi. This article describes one of my nightmares— getting locked out of my Google account. I'm fortunate that I have good friends that work at Google that could help out in such a worst-case scenario. This blogger is fortunate, too. Undoubtedly, some Googler will read this post and help them out.

But the average person isn't so lucky. If you're Jane or Joe Schmoe in Middle America, you're going to be screwed when your Google account goes haywire. I've had friends whose Google accounts have gotten into weird states that prevented them from using Google services for no obvious reason. I suspect this is due to an unfortunate consequence of Conway's Law [1] at work in Google's identity implementation.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law
One of the realizations of operationalizing an algorithm / system is that designers / programmers rarely think of every way in which human beings do unexpected things with their system. And usually the enthusiasm is never as great to mop up the customer experience problems after the 99% is solved for.
I am kinda glad they do make a big deal out of it. Hopefully it will give Bird pause before sending out any more of these letters to other journalists who may write on the subject.
