I upgraded a few months back, as I'd exceeded by drive limit and the upgrade to 2Tb storage dumped me into this new "Google One" thing.

I'm actually pretty happy with it, as I just entered into it as the next storage tier. First up, it gave me a "click here for a free google home", and you get a 10% credit back if you buy hardware from them. Not deal-makers, but nice bonus when I just came for the storage.

What I did find useful is that you can now share your storage with other people. I can just add my aged family members and relax a bit knowing they have actually got some running backup in place.

I would like it if it was combined with Youtube Premium/Red which I also pay for, even though I use Spotify over Google music.
That would be the "hook". You may have 1 to 3 of the things already included but the remaining things would get you to say "well..m overall it's less money than having both."

It's like Apple products. I already have a chat app but if I have an iPhone iMessage is pretty amazing
You must learn to trust your subconscious to help you with keeping an active eye on it. Just as you must trust employees to do their work without micromanaging them and breathing down their necks the whole time.
>If words are so empty that they can be bent to call a woman a man, a man a woman

Based on this statement, I don't quite think you understand what being transgender actually is. It's not people asking to be called the opposite gender, it's people asking to be called the gender that they actually are, and have been their entire lives, but who had the vast misfortune of being born into the wrong body. There is not a 1:1 correlation between the body's sex and the mind's sex; usually they match up, but sometimes they don't. Gender dysphoria has severely negative outcomes for mental health and well-being, and no one chooses it willingly.
I‘be looked into clojure briefly. What made it unattractive to me was the lack of performance and complexity of the build tooling. Simplicity in go goes beyond the language itself. It is also very simple to build, depend on libraries and deploy.
Ah, yes, of course, the super-secret 'CuRrEnT FrAmEwOrK PoLiCy' which you can't link to or share? By attributing any authority to what is essentially a loose collection of a government's ambitions, aspirations, pipe dreams and a random wish list of sorts, is rather fanciful, to say the least. The current talk of full-fibre broadband is just a manifesto pledge, which has already been downgraded to upto 'Gigabit broadband' by the Tories. This rhetoric is reminiscent of 'information superhighway/superfast broadband' buzzwords from the previous decades to capture urban/rural votes. Similarly, there are no detailed plans available on how it will be implemented or how any of this going to get funded ─ which could cost over £30 billion; then the Labour party are pledging to give it all away for free?!? In the absence of any hard facts, putting stock in any of these words uttered by someone, who knows somebody else, who then conducted some research and everybody thought it was a jolly good idea ─ rings alarm bells and means forgoing privacy in return for something perceived to be 'free', yet still being majority funded by the taxpayer.

As a personality trait? No. As a mode of thought? Yes.

You can learn a new mode of thought. You have to be open, and not dismiss things early, which means allowing yourself to follow ideas which have obvious flaws or which totally impractical. It helps to have confidence that you'll use your practical, analytical, and more closed mode of thought later. But first you've gotta jump out of the local maxima and try to find something new. Generate ideas as if you're high; highdeas are usually bad and that's ok, your sober self will be around to check it out later. Maybe the idea will be thrown away then, and maybe it won't.

There's a great John Cleese talk on open vs closed thinking that you could look up on YouTube. A good book on the subject is A Whack On The Side Of The Head.

Edit: That said, there's also something to working with another person, and each focusing on one of these roles more than the other. Like author and editor. Lots of things follow this pattern of splitting these roles up among people.
I don't get this kind of comment. I bought a surface pro 2 years ago. I had to turn off the promoted apps and uninstall a few commercial games. But since then, no commercial ever appeared on my start screen. Not saying it's good to bundle commercial app. But its not hell either, like Google pushing you to their services every time you use their search engine or YouTube...
And I think it's really bad practice to use scripts that break standard behavior of windows and nothing that should be encouraged to non technical people
Companies really need some sort of rollback to prior recovery email option. I had this happen with an old skype account I hadn’t put 2fa on.

I was able to get back into the account, but since the attacker had added their email, any changes had to be confirmed via that new email address! I re-entered a few times but eventually just gave it up to them. Microsoft was no help.
Oh, TIL! However, for me this site only shows a landing page and an empty slide menu behind a hamburger button. Is this launched yet?
Great question.

In my experience, I actually think it can -- but you can overcome it, too.

I grew up programming and always excelling at concrete, black-and-white, logic-based types of things (math, physics, etc.).

Later I wanted to pursue more artistic things, and discovered I simply didn't know how to think imaginatively, instead of analytically.

After a while, I learned how to "let go" of my analytical brain so that my artistic/subconscious brain could be free to "make connections" between things that had no logical connection on the surface.

And now I have no problem with it -- so it's never "too late" -- but they're definitely two "modes" of my brain I have to consciously switch between. And they're largely "separate" modes that both have to be developed/strengthened through practice.

If you want to work on imagination, I highly recommend things like writing classes, improv classes, acting classes, painting classes, all that stuff. I think classes with other people in this context are really important, because the instructor and other students' work will give you a lot of examples of creativity to inspire you and build you up. If you stick solo (as I did at first) you may find yourself just applying the same "analytical" solutions you're familiar with, and not being forced to expand your imagination/creativity.

For the past five years O&G E&P companies have been realizing significant loses in a shale driven production world. Where NA producers are quick to turn on the taps and drown the market in oil once $WTI hits $55/bbl. with this comes instability and loss of Wall Street backing.

Go look at ewaste companies and find out how they discard computers. Those 200 lot computer sales on eBay come from these companies and they buy old hardware for pennies on the dollar. If you get them before they make it to eBay or other distribution channels you can usually get another 20-50% off (I got a sun fire v20 this way for $200 back in the day)
The badging for food thing is because the IRS is coming after tech companies saying that it should be treated as a taxable benefit. It helps to have metrics about how widely used the perk is in arguing that it shouldn't be taxable.

Badging for food doesn't say anything about the evolution of Google's culture over time; it only says that the IRS is now coming after Google.
HIPAA doesn't apply to everyone. There's a definition for "covered entities". For example, if you tell me about your medical condition, I can tell anyone I like.

I can't find any reference to HIPAA in 23andme's privacy policy and I don't believe they are currently considered a covered entity. I don't even know if their data is considered medical information in the same way a diagnosis would be.

Some of us need the intellectual delight to make the work bearable. If I can view my code as some kind of art, constructing great abstractions, it helps me forget that I’m spending a huge portion of my life logging, aggregating, and analyzing internet clicks.

I think there's more to it than finding the middle ground.

The question we should ask is whether or A should change whenever B changes. If the answer is yes then there should be a dependency. If the answer is no then no dependency should exist, even if some lines of code happen to be identical at a particular point in time. (That's probably what you alluded to when you said "unrelated pieces of code" and I agree with that).

The number of lines of code shouldn't be the primary concern though.

For instance, if some tax is calculated in a particular way as a matter of law, then that calculation should exist exactly once in the entire code base, even if it's just one line of code.

Okay, so there's definitely simplicity. I agree that this is in many ways a nice change from some of the more popular languages, which can get a bit complex and heavy, with a focus on features that are nice in isolation but add up to a surprisingly difficult architecture to comprehend at the global level. I just don't think Go gets the balance right.

There are some parts of the language that are such a joy to use – C interop is simple and elegant, the concurrency story is great, the standard library is great, and in contrast to some other people, I think the error handling is also a nice example of simple and effective design. The wider tooling system is decently usable (with the exception of gofmt, as mentioned in the article, which I think is the single best tool I've ever used in any language).

But "simplicity" in Go-land seems sometimes to be the enemy of expressiveness. The lack of abstractions over operations like filtering, mapping, or removing items from a collection is incredibly irritating for such a common operation – instead of immediately obvious actions, there are tedious manual loops where I end up having to read like 10 lines of code to figure out "oh this just removes something from a list". The use of zero values is a crime against nature. The type system is shameful in practice compared to other modern languages, with so much code just being "just slap an interface{} in there and we can all pretend this isn't a disaster waiting to happen". It feels like such a lost opportunity to exploit a richer type system to eliminate whole classes of common errors (which are predictably the ones I keep making in Go code.)

I guess it's frustrating that a language—which is relatively well-designed and intended to be simple—too often makes things more complicated overall by making fallible humans do things that computers are better and more reliable at. I'll keep using it, because it fills a really nice niche that no other language is quite suitable for. But I'll keep being a bit annoyed about it, too.
It is also possible he is being a guy who knows exactly what he is talking about and has the qualifications and experience to back it up.

If an aircraft starts pitching down, and it wasn't commanded by the pilot, and resetting the trim (temporarily) fixes the problem, the issue is almost certainly with the trim. If it is MCAS and a malfunctioning sensor or a failing motor that occasionally kicks on and drives the trim to its limits, the pilot response should be the same. This is what I hear Walter saying, and it makes sense. MCAS just makes it more probable to manifest.

That's why putting one's DNA on line is so dangerous and so bloody damn stupid!

For the life of me, I cannot understand why anyone would voluntarily put their DNA on any database when it's been so damn obvious for many years—from the very start—that police, governments, life insurance companies and crooks etc. are just dying to get their grubby little paws on this valuable information.

What annoys me even more is that people who put their DNA on these databases do so without consideration of those who are genetically related to them. When a person puts their DNA on a database, ipso facto, they are also violating the privacy of their near (and no-so-near) relatives, who in most instances, have never given their consent to do so.

Frankly, I consider this a terrible state of affairs and there should be strict laws against people doing it. Seems to me that now that the cat's out of the bag the only thing that can be done is to seed these databases with cleverly engineered noisy/disruptive profiles that would make tree analysis much harder to decipher.
It depends a lot on your age, and also on your refraction. Refractive lens exchange can be a good option for high myopia/hyperopia after 60, and can be considered after 45. This is hard to give an advice with no context, the topic is quite complex ;-)

I suppose it is very bad software but very useful and popular is that the people who create it concentrate on "business value" instead of "beauty". This means that it solves specific problems very well but the overall architecture has become inconsistent and there are many weird quirks.

Usually this is resolved by a complete redesign of the software that gets delayed forever, never becomes production ready and eventually disappears into obscurity.
Yeah, and AFAIK, Amazon.com itself do not opt out.

The fact that Joe Q Public can make a marketplace account, ship a crate of counterfeit stuff, and have that be sold to buyers of “amazon.com” is absurd and explains the counterfeit problem.
My first car was a 2002 Honda Civic, bottom of the line. Aside from automatic transmission, everything - doors, locks, and so on - was manual. It didn't have a CD player or even A/C. You might say it was a simple car.

At first I loved its simplicity. It did its basic function (getting me from one place to another) quite well. I drove it only occasionally, as I was in college, and it didn't fail me in any way.

Then I graduated and got a job, and started commuting. Once I found myself driving that car every single day, I started to resent its simplicity. In a few occasions it bit me in the ass - one time, my passenger forgot to lock their door after getting out, and overnight someone got in and rummaged through the car and stole a bunch of stuff. That would not have happened if it had automatic locks!

That's how I feel about Go: if you're writing simple microservices occasionally, then it's a good language. But as usage becomes more frequent and serious, the simplicity starts to seriously hold one back. I understand the reasons behind that simplicity, but, as with all things, too much of a good thing can in fact be bad.
To use people's random images for training, they would have to be manually annotated by a human (e.g. facial boxes, eyes, nose, mouth, ears drawn in).

There are also diminishing returns from additional data if it does not bring vastly new scenarios to train against.

Access to raw data alone is rarely a problem, so I would personally doubt that Google would have much value in Google Photos for training.

For small executables, check out Chicken Scheme. For static typing, see Typed Racket (though Chicken Scheme is also moving in the direction of gradual typing, if I recall correctly).
I don't see how you could do that without opening up another risk. Suppose your recovery email account is compromised. You don't want it as a recovery email anymore because then the attacker can use it as a foothold to get into this account. If you can roll back removal, then you can't protect against that.

The only way I can see around that is if there are conditions on rolling back. But then if you're going to require authorization to roll back, you need to authenticate that request, and the whole reason you're trying to do this is because you are trying to reestablish the ability to authorize.
Who knew Wintel combination will become the curse for Microsoft. Microsoft paid heavy price including a complete OS flop, and losing mobile war; just because developers were not ready to leave Win32 API and step down to WinRT (buggy and half baked). Current emulation for 32-bit is slow and reviews are terrible. I wonder if Intel will ever be able to develop something revolutionary that runs x64 and energy efficient as ARM.
Thank you for the clarification. I didn't know that.
For CLI it’s true to the Go mantra. If the flags library is “good enough” why not just use it and avoid being fancy?

Besides, isn’t it feasible someone might confuse long and short options? “Is -d and —delete the same, or is -d —debug??” KISS even if it’s annoying.

As for loops, I know that they’re generally more common in Go. Another example is finding if an element exists in a slice. Most of the implementations is this stuff is just a loop under the hood in the end.

From a Java background it was strange to me because I’m used to dealing with classes and there’s always a method for this or that...

You could be the hacker who got hold of the old recovery email. :/

There's no safe way to do these recovery processes.

Weak/lost/compromised password means that, the account is gone.

Sure it'd be nice to have a fallback that ties recovery to visiting an office, where you establish some shared secrets, biomarkers, etc. But big companies are not into that because probably too few people pay for this. (As they also don't want to depend on a 3rd party for identity management.)
How to reach your customers with P2P technology
WinRT may have been buggy but the mobile OSes were not so bad. They had mobile OS releases mirroring XP, 7, 8/8.1, and 10. The problem is Microsoft made no commitment to non-secureboot hardware on non-Intel devices and all of these devices were extremely locked down and not accessible to end users. Consequently, no one cared about them. You probably didn't even know they had a mobile OS patterned after Win7, right?

This turned around a little bit for the 8/8.1 and 10 mobile OS releases but not by much. A lot of stuff just wasn't possible on a Windows phone, even though the garden experience was exceptional.
