> Stories about Sergey and Brin are longstanding and easily researchable

And all happened a long time ago, e.g. Brin's dalliance with Hugo Barra's girlfriend, so why would he resign years after this happened?

> And Larry Page is who paid Rubin $90 million

Again, Page didn't personally pay Rubin, this was part of Rubin's exit-contract, approved by the board, and why would this cause Page to resign specifically, and not Sundar?

> The boys club at the Alphabet C-level goes to the very, very top, and it would be impossible to address Drummond without addressing Page and Brin.

Pretty much the "boys club" extends everywhere in corporate America (and politics), pretty much anytime men get a lot of money or power, they tend go off looking for lots of sex.

But you're alleging that they are both resigning simultaneously because of some scandal that's about to be unearthed related to sexual harassment. Everything you've brought up have been known for years and are not revelations and so are already 'priced in' to the board reputation.

Most Googlers know and have felt that Larry and Sergey have been 'checked out' for years and are no longer interested in the day to day direction of Alphabet as a business. They barely ever attend company events.

So what's more likely:

a) They're rich and bored and want to go off and do other things

or

b) they's suddenly resigning for behavior that was documented years ago (Brin's affair while married, Page dating Marissa, etc, or paying off C-suite execs). In fact, rank-and-file Googlers didn't even demand their resignation when the Rubin $90 million exit happened. There's no pressure on them to resign over that.

or

c) some secret scandalous sexual escapade that happens to involve both of them is about to be unearthed but yet is unsupported by anything you've linked.

I think you have to admit that your claims are both salacious and exceedingly unlikely, and this is very likely a bunch of multibillionaires long bored with management. You've made very specific claims that their resignations are being driven by some sexual harassment claim.

This claim is baseless until you present evidence.
> per week, but not per day.

Maybe we are talking about the same thing but maybe not. Most recommendations that I see (including the official one from the college where I work) say 2-3 hours outside class for every hour inside class. Maybe not the same day, but if you have a week with 3 hourly classes then the recommendation calls for 6-9 additional hours spent that week digesting the material of those class hours.
Thank you, good enough!
I wonder if they interpreted your question to be "will it support NON-FM accounts", to which the "no time soon" answer is correct. That would only be viable if said other accounts also supported JMAP, and nobody else has that yet. I can go look at the ticket if you can give me the ticket number.

Sounds right to me!
Technically, the billionaires who don't give away their money would be the "survivors."
Unfortunately "debunked" is typically untrue. The fast and easy way to suppress inconvenient facts is to claim that they have been debunked.

It's just more information warfare.
I had one of these in my student dorm in Shanghai ten years ago. If I'd raise my hands too close when shampooing I could feel the shock coming... I took cold showers most of the semester.
Why does Google have google in the Guava namespace?
I don't think the person you're replying to is making a blanket statement that anyone who drinks IPA's don't drink them because they like them but because of the image.

I think they're just trying to convey that there is a decent sized subset of beer drinkers who seem to drink IPA's for a reason much different from yours.
This is a pretty old and well established research fact: For most people being a minority in any environment feels alienating.

The problem look very similar if you want male employees in a female dominate work place or female employees in a male dominated work place. Retention rate is going to be problem, and it is going to be a consistent problem from the first year as a student to 30 years later into the career.

The common result is that people move into local groups where they can be part of a majority. Male teachers going into physical education where most the other physical education teachers are also male. In IT we see female programmers go into design or team leader, where most other designers and team leaders are female.

It is a very hard problem to solve.
Wow. I can't even imagine how much disk space ten years of retention of alt.binaries.* takes up. It's been literally ten years since I last did anything serious Usenet related.
Kinda make that whole restructuring dance they did when creating Alphabet pointless. The CEO of Google is once again in charge of all the things.
I struggled with remote for the longest time until I got a dog.

Those forced interrupts and little bit of extra responsibility are nothing short of a miricale.

Ask HN: Does Google Domains sell your search data in any way?
I have been curious how Google Domains fits into the Google picture of monetizing data. A month or two, I searched for, and "liked", a very obscure domain. Now, the domain is unavailable because it was recently registered by a domain parking company.

This could, of course, be pure coincidence. Does anyone know if Google does directly monetize domain name searches by selling search data?

To be clear, I meant "Stop fussing at people like Patreon and Buy Me A Coffee. The problem appears to be upstream and a real solution would need to somehow address the root cause, which is not these online platforms. Their hands are tied and taking a stand likely means going out of business."

Given that this is a Launch HN, that's all I'm going to say here. This is not really the time and place to hash this detail out.
Hmm I don’t think this is the case, at least not when comparing fuse to in-kernel file systems. Having access to native VM structures only helps to the extent that you can avoid copies, yet in fuse, only one extra copy takes place. I think having to switch tasks (and associated work: swapping mm, flushing tlb, ireting/syscalling, synchronization) is really what kills perf
Yeah it's just not that valuable for the end users to be dropped. Just like a startup. Why would anyone add startup or startup-like products to your workflow?
I have seen SFW used in that regard.
I'd accept a thick phone if it had a huge battery life. But then how do you perform waste disposal? People are, largely, irresponsible jackasses who would think nothing of throwing old RTGs into the ocean / landfill / other improper decomissioning methods.

Also the potential damage is a lot higher e.g. if you're in a car accident and the RTG gets punctured vs. just a Li-ion battery catching fire. In terms of cleanup and containment.
When I was a little kid I was terrified of coral because of the little holes. I definitely wouldn't say I have a phobia but images of things with lots of holes makes my skin crawl.

Isn't a problem with this defence that it leaves him totally open to being referred to in the same way? After all, if it's just a casual insult..
Indeed one of the things that has always baffled me in my eight years at Google is the culture of bottomless "Congrats!" reply-all emails that come out at promotions, product launches, etc. And here we see one on HN :-)
I travel for work 20 years, 6-7 internationals per year (or more) and I can tell you 1) its not always cross country and 2) sleep is possibly the most important thing you can do, if you need to move timezones and be alert and working when you get there.

I do work in the air. I've had other passengers complain about my keyboard volume. I also now pace it, police it and don't try to over-do it: The spam-can is not condusive to good work outcomes always. Its ok for reading and reflection, and oftentimes they don't depend on connectivity.

> Fatty ramen became a trend for the same reason: it’s a simple, super-saturated flavor that’s easy to crank up to 11.

Ehhh, I wouldn't necessarily put "fatty" ramen in that position.

Legitimate ramen from Japan's original, basic purpose was food that could be eaten quickly by salarymen late at night/on their way home after work/drinking.

There's huge variety in ramen, and I think the fattier ones were made for a purpose too. Not just flavor, though that definitely is a result as well, but also because of the kind of environment there was in Japan, where the people there wanted something a bit heavier in flavor in a hot bowl on cold nights.
Also, your point about those language features being harder is also, objectively wrong. All of those features you mentioned existed before the 80s and were used at the time.

Existed, yes. Widely used? That was a period of transition!

The period from the early 1980s to the late 1980s coincided with a host of changes. Including the rise of personal PCs and Unix, less VMS and mainframes, a decline in COBOL, a rise in C and Pascal, etc, etc, etc.

In 1980 it was reasonable to take introductory programming courses in COBOL (the most commonly used language in business) or FORTRAN (the most commonly used language in science). At the time neither language supported recursion, closures, or object oriented programming. Pointers existed, but were not as heavily used as they were later. That cohort graduated 37.1% women in 1984.

If you were taking your introductory programming course in 1986 on a personal computer in C or Pascal, you would have dealt with both recursion and pointers heavily. That was about when I took that course. This cohort graduated 29.9% women.

Object oriented programming didn't break into the mainstream until the 1990s. (The original Code Complete written in the 1980s doesn't even mention it.) It existed, but was not widely adopted "by industry".

Closures began to spread out from Scheme but remained a fairly niche concept until people got serious about them in JavaScript in the 2000s.

So the timeline is not evidence against my suspicion.

Of course so many other things were in flux that it isn't evidence for either.
Sorry, I misread the threads, I think you're right. There's notification when you install it, but the notification is that it's on by default. The notification also explains how to switch it off (with an environment variable).

Something doesn't sit right with me concerning their use of "over 10,000" open source projects on Github to train the AI, then immediately turning around and telling those same projects "thanks, that'll be $0.75/100 lines of code scanned."

I feel like this should have a generous free tier for open source projects. I feel that very, very strongly.

Disk costs at Amazon are an annoyance when you need to spin up a VM just for a few days. Apparently you pay for the entire month in advance even if you just need it for a shorter period.

Whereas Azure disk costs for VMs accrue on a daily basis.
It's not about me thinking I'm successful, because I don't. It's about not giving envious people the positive feedback they desire so much from their corrupt behavior. It's about getting them so hurt they will never again consider coping with their insecurities by transference.

If you've never felt like you need to justify your 'success' (even tho you never felt like it isn't a big deal) to envious people in disguise you'll never understand. It is the most frustratingly impossible task. They can't and will never separate you as an individual from the negative emotion of envy they feel.
Yeah, it sounds a little like having a gore-phobia. It's supposed to freak people out.
I won't make any comment about going downhill or not, but the Alphabet restructuring you're talking about came after Patrick Pichette left and Ruth Porat took over as CFO but before Sundar became CEO.

If there was a clear boundary between old and new Google I'd say it is around the time that Patrick and Alan Eustace left. Other changes in senior leadership happened in that same couple of years.
I think you're confusing him with Gates. Although Ballmer did refuse to buy Google when he could. Would have been a drop in the bucket. I forgot, BTW, he also spun up the ad and search businesses: the only reason there's any alternative to Google at all.

It's the definition of Turning complete that's the problem. A Turning complete machine must be able to process countably infinite inputs. The halting problem arises from same thing. There is no halting problem if we restrict ourselves to programs that will stop in a bounded time (obviously).

In practice that means a true Turning machine can compute things that aren't actually computable in our Universe, or at least not by the bits of the Universe we understand well. I doubt any engineer will think that "this architecture can't in theory compute things not computable in this Universe" is a strong argument against it.
How many aspects of the differing realities are due to inherent biological differences, and how many are due to societal environment, though?
Thank you, all of those are right up my alley. I added them all to my to-read list. (Of course, the hard part is setting aside the time to actually read them...)
And that's lazy deference to an inevitability that isn't inevitable. It's a cultural choice, to tolerate evil of that sort.

I'm not speaking specifically - clearly, sexism exists, and it has the effect of keeping some people away from a field who would otherwise join, or driving some people away from a field they would otherwise stay in. My point is that using white males as a baseline of the way the world should be is flawed.

It just looks like a congratulations to me to be honest, but perhaps that has to do with the fact that German is my native language.

Would you mind explaining what you mean by ‘corpspeak’ with that person’s comment? I wouldn’t be surprised if I wrote something like that in a similar tone.
I have another theory. There tends to be a taste balance between hops on one hand, and sugar and alcohol on the other hand. The super hoppy beers also have loads of sugar and alcohol.

After drinking hoppy beers for a while, your brain associates the pleasure from the sugar and alcohol with the taste of the hops. You think you like the hops, but you really just like the sugar and alcohol. Without the hops though, the beer would be unpalatable.

Amazon has made scalable, performant, high-availability systems constructable by a 10 person team that serves millions or even billions of people. Before AWS it took thousands of people and billions in capital investment to do so.

Sure, google and Microsoft and IBM joined the party, but AWS was first and remains the best holistically. This is their moment of domination, and eventually something will knock them down, but they have made so many companies so nimble and powerful in ways that were impossible before. Go Amazon.
Why? So we could be stuck with horrible interfaces forever (most of string.h comes to mind)? No thanks.
Your examples are not related to software engineering. Please name software engineering related biological differences between men and women, backed by solid scientific studies.
My wife's anecdotal experience as an engineering student at CalTech may be instructive.

She is very smart, but her spatial reasoning is weak. At first this wasn't too hard for her, but it became a real issue in lab courses. Then she discovered that CS courses qualified as lab courses and were easy for her. So she got her degree, then became a programmer.

So the answer that I give to you is that as soon as you actually have to any part of engineering that involves actually dealing with how physical stuff works in practice, spatial reasoning comes into play. And dealing with how physical stuff works in practice is pretty much core to being an engineer.
Okay Google.
Sure but I don’t see any compelling use cases to motivate opening it up. Do you have an example of one?

Even if the kernel opens it up without a compelling use case, it seems likely that distribution policy will keep it default locked to root.

Which is my point here. I don’t see a compelling reason to have a JIT in the kernel when AOT BPF seems to cover 90% of all existing use cases. In fact I may even write a bpf to kernel module compiler myself.
Something that has made me really appreciate Vim commands is "less"... yeah i'm talking about the seemingly simple pager that's already installed on your system - I could never get into vim for coding, but I always felt like it shined in places like less where you are consuming text rather than creating it.
I'm guessing the "Other Bets" phrase
Yeah, I agree listing the IBU is useful even for people who want low IBU.

But the reason that's even an issue in the first-place is because of grandstanding hop-heads pushing the upper limit so high that a casual drinker selecting a brew at random has an increased chance of getting something they'd find completely unpalatable.

It's like hot sauce. You didn't need to put the Scoville units on the menu until people started making hot sauces that would peel the lining off your digestive tract. But they didn't start making those hot sauces until people started measuring and talking about Scoville units as the only metric worth caring about.
> He's still one of the people I look up to most.

I don't. He's allowed Google to become many of the things he's long stated he was opposed to. Either he never had his stated values in the first place, or he's turned his back on them in later years.

At the end of the day, someone has to make the final decision over whether to ban an LGBTQ+ activist. Who is the person who will make that decision on BMaC?

I get that you're beholden to your vendors, and to a certain extent there's nothing you can do about that. But I also assume you're not planning to just forward literally every content decision you have to make to Stripe's legal team for their input. So if a vulnerable person starts using your service, they need a better guarantee than "dunno, we'll have to flip a coin and see." You're still one of the people who are going to be enforcing this, you're still one of the people who have the power to decide how this will work.

psa: you can get this thing, which isn't the most precise ever, but lets you see this spectral information about lights for cheap: https://www.amazon.com/EISCO-Premium-Quantitative-Spectrosco... - I got one and WHEW CFLs' band lines are really obvious. Also, I feel kind of tickled that I saw the band gap on LED lights before seeing a description of what it is in the source for the spectrum plots in this article (the source being https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:White_LED.png ).

I'm a bit miffed it seems so hard to find lights that don't have this problem, though. maybe we can improve it by getting the word out that these cheap little diffraction devices can give you a pretty good approximate reading of the smoothness of the spectrum of a light source. Hmm, I just realized I have yet to take this to home depot...

I'm really curious about those MIT incandescent bulbs. If they worked well and haven't been brought to market, it's possible that contacting the people involved in creating them could have good results in making them happen.
