This document is getting absolutely decimated. Why did OP post this without putting in some moderation controls first?

Edit: I found the actual engineering blog post that this google docs ended up turning into. It's probably going to be a easier read from here I imagine - https://testing.googleblog.com/2017/04/where-do-our-flaky-te...
You might want to look into who the author is.
He's not a "random outsider", he's a famous (recently-former) very
senior Google employee.
Now you can refuse to support prosecution against family, but your DNA can't.
tl;dr-

1. Larger tests are more flaky

2. Choice of tech has additional, minor contributions to flakiness (eg. unit tests vs. webdriver vs. Android emulator)
This is not about SJ, it's about how misunderstanding of an idea and deliberately falsifying the goals of this "dreamer" attracted negative feedback. Ill people that can't deal with this kind of harassment could kill them selves.
+1. I can imagine someone leaving the laptop in full sunlight, and it burning through the logo - but it feels more like user issue, you don't leave electronics out like that.
It will act consistently if the value of x is consistent. If it's not, then it could flake out on that line.
Denying all the science and data which has proven the concept beyond any doubt to instead believe in the same old rehashed ideology? Sounds exactly the same.
Valid point, and pretty stupid I did not think of this, imgur seems to be down so you can check out some screenshots here[0] if you want to.

Edit: I added a little F.A.Q to clear some stuff up, if there are more questions I'll be glad to add them!
If the claim is that Azure is generating more revenue than AWS, then yes I would say that is misleading.

If the claim is that Microsoft's cloud revenue is bigger than Amazon's, I would assume that includes Office365. Office365 isn't just Word and Excel on the desktop, it's Outlook, Dynamics CRM, Sharepoint, Teams, etc.
Also, to feed the conspiracy theory that this is a fraud:

They are claiming he died from
Chron’s disease which is highly unlikely.

It seems like a plausible deniability move. He probably has Chron’s disease and that can be easily proven through his medical history.

Also is easier to tie that, to a story in which he couldn’t get the right treatment for his Chron’s disease complications abroad.
I have mentioned this to many.. Satya could go down as one of the greatest turnaround masters of all time. I had consulted with MS a long time ago (2005-6). The work place was toxic. I might have been with the wrong group..but even uttering Java was considered sacrilegious. If you took a Mac to their office, the security would look at suspicion. Needless to say, I never returned back after my stint. Fast-forward. MS is the largest contributor to Linux source. In MS Ignite conferences, it's not about Windows and .Net anymore rather you would find healthy all round discussions. The developer community has slowly started trusting them more than other biggies. Not just Satya himself but he has his second line all focused in creating a customer friendly environment. I will put my money on MS till Satya is at the helm of affairs.
Things sounds toxic. Under your leadership you have a chance to change this. Use the situation to improve things for everyone else.

I'm a fullstack developer, currently freelancing, looking to transition back to full-time so I can focus more on dev work and less on managing the business aspect and marketing myself.

I've been working on laravel projects since 2012, and have worked on a number of custom ERP and ecommerce solutions (a lot of them in the food/restaurant industry).

I'm most interested in moving more away from laravel/php, and use golang, or node.js backends and work on projects where those performance enhancements matter.
If the value of x is inconsistent, you had flakyness somewhere else.

That line will always act consistently, modulo solar radiation.

I strongly disagree with this sentiment, ease up on the kool-aid. Productive, maybe? Better, hell no.

Fascinating, thank you! Where can I read more about this?
I don't think it's a tragedy. No, his exact vision did not happen. But he influenced many, and the web would not have happened without him.

It often takes many people and projects, each looking at previous efforts, before you have a well working system. Ted Nelson and Xanadu were a key link in that chain.
Looking back, it‘s amazing how much progress was made in this type of computer games between Alternate Reality (1984), Dungeon Master (1987) and Ultima Underworld. In the same timeframe (8 years) there hasn‘t been any noticeable progress lately, just sequels and reiterations with slightly better textures.
I would agree with you on most points but their search engine is getting easier to replace as each change is made. The longtail is dead and someone new like amazon or sony or apple could change the game.
I know this is meant as humor, but if they reported the public cold storage addresses then analysis could be done on movements and timelines.

I’m quite confident the lawyers will get to the bottom of this.

Whether or not a company is taking full advantage of Outlook, Flow, Sharepoint Online, etc doesn't really matter in terms of revenue. If a company is paying for cloud products, that counts towards Microsoft's cloud revenue.

Even if the bulk of the Office365 ecals they're selling are for the lowest tier offering that still includes Outlook and Onedrive which a lot of organizations use fairly heavily.
This is so awesome news. I see that in the local news this morning, that in my home country (Denmark), this free trade agreement is creating lots of news jobs with companies already announcing hundreds of new job. And this is just one day after the announcement. More of this to come in the next days and weeks.
95% of ads are not using targeting based on your personal interests. Advertisers don't just upload ads and let them go. They add the targeting themselves and start wide open so that they can optimize after seeing the actual performance amongst different groups and cohorts. Far cheaper and more effective. Ad networks might add their own algorithms but they definitely aren't going to stop advertisers from spending money otherwise.

> Speaking of graphics… well, probably most of you are far too young to remember the Apple ][, but it had a seriously weird graphics mode, which had not only a crazy palette (black, white, green, blue, orange, and purple) but also placed additional restrictions on how you could use the colors near each other (see here if you really need to know the gory details). Paul Neurath, our CEO, never tired of telling stories of what a pain it was to work with that system when he had written his earlier game Space Rogue. So naturally we added code that would specifically look for a certain file we had planted on Paul’s computer, and if it found it, would switch to a green-blue-orange-purple palette for one frame every half hour or so. Unfortunately I honestly can’t remember whether Paul ever actually noticed it.

Please tell me this code shipped and that it is possible to trigger this mode by creating the right mock file on an emulated system!
That list seems awfully incomplete compared to: https://killedbygoogle.com/

Your list is missing some high profile products like Google Allo and Chromecast Audio.
There are more things than price that can prevent competition from reappearing once it became extinguished.

If there is a constant threat of the prices being lowered again, it will be pointless to reinvest in restarting competition - the monopolist at any time can lower the prices back down.

Also, in some fields the monopolistic position gives network effects to the producer that cannot be replicated by an upstart, making a competition unlikely.
Probably MSN.
What they are missing is a marketing department and customer service division. Without those they are forced to operate like a bizaar and offer commodity style products/prices.

> It's almost as if the "largeness" of a company allows the non productive people to hide within it, all while successfully siphoning off their sustenance.

Bang. You're spot on.

From what I've seen, it's an unfortunate artifact of many (if not most) large companies. There are just too many places to hide.

I'm keen to know if it's the same at Apple and Amazon.
Care to share who it is? Google has plenty of employees that have nothing to do with adtech.

EDIT: this person worked as a software engineer at Google Fiber for 8 years, which confirms they have no experience with adtech.

Or option three, the entire thing was based on a mis-portrayal of an idea that might not have been that great to start with, but wasn't really wrong in a "we must bring justice" sense. This article, at least, makes the initial coverage seem pretty unfair. Most people in this thread, myself included, are tending to make this a discussion about spectrum disorders, but it's also worth remembering that this could happen to you or I if we ever end up in an unlucky combination of being off the well-beaten path, in violation of a social norm that is one of newly invented, not universal or applied retroactively, and receiving an uncharitable interpretation from the first person to write about us. The Public Death Squad can be called down on anyone, and having a natural propensity towards saying the wrong things only makes it more likely. It could also happen if you ever find yourself knowingly going against social norms because your goal is to change them.
Each about 4 years there is a new tech wave. Google back then did very well on search, video, mobile. Missed social, cloud, voice assistant - the last 2, being tech-wise exactly up the Google alley, were missed because of vision and execution deficiencies so no surprise that the great Google engineers would be questioning their leadership.
Your work is crucial for the foundation of whatever Google builds. Unfortunately just like in construction, having a good foundation doesn’t mean that what gets build on top is the right thing.
Completely agreed on this. I've also used a sharpening stone to sharpen scissors. It's quick, easy, and really satisfying seeing a dull blade go to razor sharp with a few minutes of work.

It's a bit of an aside, but I have such respect for you Germans when it comes to owning up to past transgressions. In my experience, when the topic of WWII has come up, it's always been a matter of, "Yes, we fucked up. Now, how do we prevent it from happening again?"

My ancestors came to the USA after the Civil War, so _I_ have no real stake in this, but I married into a family from the midwest/south who has been in the US for many generations and I'm regularly floored when I hear people make claims about how the Civil War was actually about states' rights (to own human beings ...) and such. It seems like these people are still mostly concerned with trying to save face, as opposed to admitting that their forbears _royally_ screwed up and trying to learn and adapt from the episode.
Lotsa things don't add up and are just too convenient--based on paper articles. But, unless he gambled /lost them, faking his own death probably not going to ensure that he enjoys the loot. But then, not all think it to every detail.

I would have faked a hack and announce that 8% of coins were stolen or whatever. $15 million, means that at least he could have gotten half of it in cash (assuming a laundering discount) and a lot more if the price rises. Retire in a foreign country and be quiet.

>>Google has been doing well financially, but it has lost its soul

Google has been doing well financially, because it has lost its soul
microsoft did it pretty easily, albeit 4 years later than amazon, which is partially why they're playing catch up. microsoft didn't have any "industrial warehouse buying" expertise and was a lot more familiar with server tech than amazon was at the time they started aws in 2006, and probably had a good number of data centers already, they just weren't built for rental services.

although it's outside facebooks current core competency i think they wouldn't have too many issues getting into the cloud game if they wanted to. they could hire all the expertise they need and get 100 data centers up and running in 5 years.

but why would they? it's like google getting into the ISP market to compete with verizon et al. google runs its very profitable business on top of the commodity rails and keeps limited deployments of google fiber as a stick to threaten slow or uncooperative ISPs. facebook can run its profitable software based businesses on top of the infrastructure instead of joining the cutthroat race to the bottom of cloud computing that may or may not be semi nationalized/regulated as ISPs and utilities are today

I really want to play around with sensors and create projects similar to this. I am fascinated with sensors.

Is this something that is possible with arduino or raspberry pi?
Or is there something else I should look into?
Not really, as the point of affine types is that this is pushed into the type system. It has the semantics “if a thing is produced, it is consumed at most once.” I don’t see how this is any more difficult than, or really any different from regular Haskell programming.
I have an IBM X60 from 2006, and the only problem it's developed despite heavy (mobile) use for the past decade-and-nearly-half is that it's lost some of the paint on the case around the edges and bottom.

A friend's MacBook (the plastic ones of the time) started cracking its case within a year, and shortly after that the HDD failed.

Apple has always presented their products as being premium, and their aesthetic isn't bad, but IMHO they're not really as well-built as they claim to be. They are better built than the cheap HPs and Toshibas, however.
I can oppose the patent at the patent office and document all the bullshit in the filing. Then anyone who looks at the IP will also see the bullshit involved in the process and walk away from the IP

wow lol! Watching 63 people making realtime changes to the same doc is crazy lol.
This is almost saying uber makes all of its money from ride hailing, almost all these years.

Reality: after 2008, economy boomed, and advertising also did. Advertising, once you have the means, is easier to scale, and high margin. Google stopped relying on just owned and operated properties, and diversified into 3p properties to achieve even more scale

Most other businesses or business attempts require massive operations which google lacks

Even you ramp up non advertising revenue to a billion dollar, advertising will grow more just because it is already big.

Yet another aspect of crypto's long term ignored consequences come to light. i haven't seen ANY possible solution for transfer of crypto after original owner's death. even ethereum doesn't have this simple ability inbuilt(which you'd think would be obvious).

this basic question gets downvoted on any forum you'd think of - husband/wife has large amount of money in crypto, they die due to unforeseen circumstances(or even foreseen circumstances but it's a quick degradation of mental facilities). who does the spouse approach for the crypto? they have proof of death so why don't they get the money? poof, value gone - have fun now you're a destitute relative coz you can't figure out passwords(most grieving relatives can't)!

this is why no one trusts crypto,these simple things aren't a fundamental part of the platform. you get people telling you these convoluted solutions(that may or may not work). the fraud potential is sky high. is crypto only meant as a transient toy?

The scales are maybe falling off the eyes of the google workers.

The search ads are the alpha and the omega of google. The thousands of employees doing non-ad work are just a cover to make the employees think that this is a change the world mission and flying cars and contact lenses that read your blood pressure... all nonsense. They need smart people to keep the ad machine running and to keep tuning it. The rest is all diversion.

Where is my balloon internet !?!
It gets pretty brutal when you have 10,000 tests that each have a 1/1000 chance of failing.

The worst was that some tests were actually wrong and only passed due to nondeterminism. Once I made the tests deterministic, I discovered they always failed. Until that point, I found those test failures very confusing, because it seemed like my efforts to improve the reliability of the tests was having no effect on them.
Facebook somehow has turned social into a giant. Forced real names and gave your grandmother a reason to be on the internet. Facebook will be the global free television network will push vr and start introducing telepatic phone services.

Netflix will probably split into two with one company showing new movies with different pricing models. The second service will have all of the original content they made throughout the years for a low price but lack studio productions. Not sure it will be as appealing unless they can find a way to strench a production budgets while keeping quality.
