I've also been a manager at a company with a shitty culture, and you simply can't stop your good employees from leaving for greener pastures. You're kind of happy for them when they do. I care about my employees and value them as human beings, but I also couldn't address their grievances or promise them any resolution to larger cultural issues. I knew they would leave, so I stopped being upset when they did and started taking the turnover as part of the job.

It's not that managers don't care about their employees, they just don't care if or why you left because those circumstances are outside their control. HR collects that info in exit interviews, and a line manager has no influence with HR. If turnover starts hurting the company's bottom line, they'll do something about it. Otherwise it's not going to be a priority at the levels it needs to (how effective is your "Diversity Officer" in creating real diversity?)
I don't kno about AWS or GCP, but I've used Azure's technical support a few times over the years, and I've always been happy with the feedback, and the competence of the person providing it.

I'd assume GCP's support is poor, but I admit I'm basing that bias solely on my AdAwords support experience, which is and has always been, ludicrously bad.
The Tories tried to trigger a no deal.

The deal they did get was a pretty hard Brexit.
I think they should go with fingerprints. I have to change my password every three months so I reuse the same password with a few numbers incremented. For a while I created completely new passwords but constantly memorizing them got really annoying.

That’s the problem with a lot of security recommendations. Often they are very inconvenient.
"forward together" is not a strategy, it's a slogan. Of course if your management can't tell the difference, you have a much bigger issue than simply a lack of strategy.
>But in 2018, Google changes its pricing model, and my bill jumped to more like $1,800 per month.

Presumably, Google has done the market research here and had found that this level of pricing will end up maximizing revenue. It would be interesting to have a generally accepted model for these no money now, money later business models based on some measure of industry lock in. That way it would be possible to do the pricing at the start of a project rather than part of the way through when everyone had forgotten to budget anything.

The Googles of the world get to know how much our projects are going to cost, why can't we at least get an idea?

More important then length: you shouldn't reuse that password anywhere else. Breaches happen when attackers compromise a password from one source and try it on a bunch of other systems.
AWS support is in general nice and helpful. GCP, abysmal indeed.
These systems (large, automated, computer-controlled, and capable of unsafe states) should be trained in such a way as to leverage each others' knowledge.

E.g., each brand of auto-auto (self-driving car) should share information with the others in re: safety and unexpected conditions. This should happen in (near-)real-time.

>In my opinion quarantining them was basically a slap on the wrist.

I mean, I agree they should have been banned from day one basically.. but to say it's a slap on the wrist is odd because absolutely no one has to read any of their trash unless you specifically go there. Most random reddit users probably don't even know of td, let alone would actually go there voluntarily.

That being said.. I think it's unconscionable that reddit allows that subreddit to exist.. it's literally a breeding ground for violence and hate thought/speech.
Wasn't the idea that the centrifuge would spin in a way that causes premature failure, but the controller display would instead show it spinning at the correct speed? Depending on how you interpret the meaning of the word "erroneous" this could align with what you're saying.
Same here. I have a few numbers in my password which I increment every three months. I would have a problem if their history had more than 9 passwords :)

I don't find the concept of a women in tech conference inherently patronizing, but having attended several of them I wish they had more technical talks and less focus on fluffier topics. I swear half the talks at the Grace Hopper conference (which is about women in COMPUTING, not just tech) in NYC this year were about diversity and inclusion, which is a worthy goal but not something I find particularly interesting in a conference lecture. There were probably 1/3 tech talks, 1/3 diversity and inclusion and 1/3 business-related when it's supposed to be a conference about computing. It just felt it was feeding into the negative stereotypes about women being unsuited for technical roles or not caring about tech itself but just the more social aspects. I came for the cool tech talks!
To bad it needs to be a specific length, these would work otherwise:

Since our company req a password change every 90 days, it's as easy as appending the season and year to the end of your password. So right now it would be [password]winter2020. Since seasons are ~90 days long it's easy to remember and isn't just adding a "1" at the end.
I'm not parent, but the very fact that they keep degrading the UI and implementing dark patterns and doing crap like requiring login to read comments is exactly what gives the impression that reddit is dying. It is hard to assume that people on top care about their users when every single news about any kind of change looks like to a downgrade to my Reddit experience.
YES. Video recommendations covering the screen while I pause to try and read something. Is it really that niche of a use case that the user is pausing the video to better view something in said video?! How many more places do we need to shove recommendation systems down the users throat.
Proving and disproving a hypothesis are entirely different standards.

For example I have a coin with heads/tails, I hypothesis if I flip it it always lands on heads and we flip it 1 time (n=1), and sure enough it lands on heads that doesn't prove my hypothesis (its very weak support at best), whereas is we flip the coin 1 time (n=1) and its tails that disproves my hypothesis (or at least is strong support my hypothesis is wrong).
You mean, there was an edge case where Google didn't have real-life data for a specific accident available for you? This is an extreme case that we wouldn't even expect to exist a few years ago, (and then got annoyed by passive surveillance) but now gmaps is failing for missing it? Is this the new norm?

Did you mark the accident yourself when you saw it?
Phonons are the minimum quantum excitation of vibration within a material. Just as harmonic oscillators have quantum energy levels, so do materials. You are correct -- they are an emergent phenomenon.

In the case of phonons, they can carry momentum, they travel like particles. A sibling comment is correct -- they are technically quasi-particles [1]. It is okay to think about a phonon field within a material. That field is not fundamental, in the sense that an electron is presently-believed to be fundamental, but that doesn't keep it from being a very useful way to think about condensed-matter physics.

That presumes a project starts with people who intend to charge from the get-go, but defer that step to later. Rather than being started by folks who love what they're doing, getting funneled into a PM'ed project where the enthusiasm is curbed by "product viability", and then goes through a period of a few years where the original project folks rotate out until no one left is invested in how useful the product is, and a lot of folks are invested in how much money can be made by pivoting to a model that heavily monetizes on scoping down to purely the most used features used by its biggest, financially secure customers.
Wonder how many % use the password reset as an effective one-time password (unless cached) as they can't be arsed to remember the password complexity rules for every single site thwarting their simple password variations scheme.
Numbering from west to East and south to north and using evens and odds to mean East-west and north-south makes sense.

Sudden Wealth Syndrome
Just want to say I cannot agree with these sentiments more.

Google turned a seemingly benign industry into something people now regularly refer to as "weaponized" messaging.

The pen is mightier than the sword. The spoken word is mightier than both. We need to relearn how to talk to one another instead of relying on what used to be a useful heuristic shortcut in our day to day life.

We got drunk on the convenience of industry automating massaging before we even realized tech would lead to automation could scale at such exponential rates.

Our linear thinking in 3d space time is not able to keep up with all the degrees of separation in play anymore.

Marketing is a joke and everyone knows it. This is the real industry that is "too big to fail". And that they pinned it on the penultimate boogey man (aka money) is just more fuel to that fire.

I'm still baffled about the UI "improvement." It's comically bad. It's so busy and I can't find anything I want.

I have never, ever seen a site anywhere near as big as Reddit with such a bad redesign. It seems they could have hired one UX guy and one graphic guy... I could probably pay some people on Fiverr $100 total to create a better design for the entirety of Reddit.

The old design was boring and out of date, but it was everything I needed so I was fine with it.

But I'm mainly a mobile user so I don't really care.
Which is just fine given that most threat models involve pure digital attacks.
Strange story...unclear if the thief knew what was on the hard drives. Would be a much stranger story if they did.
I would also say it's not a good idea to burn bridges; which is what inevitably happens when you run around telling people the reason you're leaving is because the company sucks. They can't do anything about it anyway (see my original comment), and you risk coming off as toxic to people you might want to give you a recommendation later in your career.
If the free Google Maps API put your company out of business, it didn't have a great product in the first place.

Saying that the disparate representation between genders in technology industries is due to innate differences is not telling women they're weird for working in tech. It is not a statement about those women who go into tech, it's a statement about the aggregate choices of women in society as a whole.

I don't know what your intent was in writing this comment, but trying to frame any attribution of career choices to gender as a personal attack is a common tactic to try and shut down discussion on the topic.

That's a pretty poignant comparison.
I thought of that, but we have a really bad AD/Mac setup where changing your password takes 30-60 minutes to propagate. During the time you try both your old and new passwords until they work.

If you try to change it again during the 30-60 minutes propagation time, then you need to try even more passwords passwords. Too complex to deal with.
> The problem with putting keys on the keyboard that radically change depending on context is that you cannot use them from memory just like the other keys.

Yes, this is one of the tradeoffs the Touch Bar makes in order to have a dynamically changing touch interface. I wouldn't really call it a "problem", though many do in light of the Touch Bar taking the space of function keys.

I do miss the function keys, but I also sort of like the Touch Bar in certain circumstances.

Anecdotally, I was pretty fed up with my 2017 MacBook Pro (butterfly keyboard) and so made the change to the 16-inch. Apparently, I've gotten so used to the soft "Esc" key that I frequently rest my finger on the 16-inch's physical "Esc" key for a few monents before realizing I actually have to push down to activate it.
1972 was a VERY cold year. It's a shame that NASA doesn't have observations back to the beginning of the 20th century. We know from terrestrial observations that arctic ice cycled down (below where it is now) in the early 20th century, and then ramped up and peaked sometime around the beginning of this video. It was cycling down again until about 10 years ago and has been relatively stable since then.
I believe you are mistaken.

Three days ago I scheduled an Uber for 5:00AM-5:10AM.

It arrived at 4:57AM.

EDIT: Perhaps you misread the description...

"The Scheduled Rides feature allows you to book a trip in advance by selecting a 10-minute pickup window. The driver will be requested on your behalf and will arrive in the 10-minute window you've selected. In the case where a driver is not available, you'll be notified."

https://help.uber.com/riders/article/scheduling-a-ride-in-ad...

There would be little sense to doing what you suggested (queueing rides 10min in advance for scheduled riders) because Uber can use scheduled rides as constraints for pathing of vehicles, and some areas would have a greater than 10 minute wait time for pickup.
And yet, you're also making it impractical for them to actually use a unique password, see what the GP said.
Ok ! That's what I'd do then.

Oftentimes there's a several month delay from when stuff is announced at re:invent and when it's GA. I don't think anyone would ever make technical decisions based on announcements; they would wait until they could touch it and actually create a proof of concept. In other words, the "analysis" is nonexistent, since there's nothing to analyze.
He's still a kid and he could only invest under my supervision. It is a small amount of money and he is not going on the margin. If he kept doing great year over year I would let him keep going.

Here's what really happened: He bought a bunch of kooky stocks because he "liked the name". That did predictably terribly. Then he bought a couple blue chip companies, lost interest and drifted into the black. If you buy individual stocks and hold them, on average you will make money. You would usually do better with an ETF too. I think it was a good lesson that patience is better than trying to outsmart markets.

If you're not afraid of breaching Google's ToS you can load Google tiles directly with leaflet. The tiles themselves have no API key requirement.

Bruce Schneier's summarization [0] of NIST's revised recommendations:

1. Stop it with the annoying password complexity rules. They make passwords harder to remember. They increase errors because artificially complex passwords are harder to type in. And they don't help that much. It's better to allow people to use pass phrases.

2. Stop it with password expiration. That was an old idea for an old way we used computers. Today, don't make people change their passwords unless there's indication of compromise.

3. Let people use password managers. This is how we deal with all the passwords we need.

I am forced to type 2 to 3 passwords every morning. The IT rules says I can't leave my laptop in my table overnight, so I have to every day type at least the disk encryption password + my login password. And sometimes I also have to type the VPN password. That's already 2 to 3 passwords every single time.

Not counting the SSH key passphrases for a lot of stuff...
