I think the Azure stack is very solid - UI sucks maybe, but it's best not to use UI anyway.

Also, Microsoft naturally is the to-go place if you want a partner to trust as an enterprise. They have proven to support systems and software in the long run.

Also, Pentagon just picked Azure over AWS - so Azure has a good run and bright future I'd say.
I'm not that interested in the place and electronics per se but I've found the intro really interesting in terms of culture and language. Great read.
Way more likely that someone presses that delete button in a temporary tantrum or by mistake than a coworker randomly trashing someone else's office (there are telling signs after all).

It's also way easier, cheaper and practical to prevent the first example than the second one.
The C-Series is using carbon wings, and an absolute fuckton of carbon fiber everywhere. I've seen tech that goes into their carbon fiber parts and geometries, it's incredibly impressive, and I'm confident Bombardier more or less got it down.
This is why GMOs are a bad idea. The science, in and of itself, is amazing stuff. Unfortunately the science doesn't exist in a vacuum and it's the business and legal structures (globally, not just in the US) surrounding it in which GMOs are problematic. Seeds are fundamental to almost all types of farms and the fact that there are "legal intricacies" surrounding the legality of growing food using seeds on your land is bananas! (Semi-relevantly, Cavendish Bananas are another plant that aren't grown from seeds, similar to citrus.)
I think it'll be pretty good career until some kind of tipping point is hit.

My suggestion is to become excellent at CS, get an internship, then specialize in a fascinating area of forward-looking work (don't study COBOL. :) ).

also if you love coding, keep on keeping on. if you wind up making average income, that's ok.
For what it is worth, Yankovick has done the opposite of your comment at least once.

Yankovic specifically got legal permission for his song Amish Paradise but not what was arguably "right" meaning permission from the artist Coolio who said no. Yankovic did it anyway.

Years later, they are reportedly "cool" now according to Yankovic: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1h7afc/i_am_weird_al_...
> The government shouldn't invest billions in propping up existing or new cities.

I agree and would add that the government shouldn't try to "drag jobs" from anywhere to anywhere else (per the article's headline). The U.S. government wasn't designed to do that, won't be good at it and will likely fail after spending a bunch of money that would be better spent on one of the other priorities they are supposed to be doing (and are already failing at).

So much to appreciate here. A few things that really stand out for me:

- RAM on one side of the mainboard, CPU and PCIe on the other. All upgradable. (never seen that on a desktop motherboard)

- The CPU appears to have standard heatsink mounting holes. Maybe you could put AIO water cooling in it if you wanted to?)

- PCIe power ports on the mainboard, even though they're not used by the MPX modules. Looks like 4x 8-pin and 1x 6-pin.

- unused SATA ports

- unused internal USB-A port (anyone know if it's USB3?)

- front fans use non-standard spring contact connector, so if they fail you're stuck getting that monster module from Apple, though that's probably not very likely.
In addition to search I'd say:

- Gmail

- Android (and Google Play)

- Drive

- Maps

- Chromecast

- Google Home

- YouTube (+Premium)

are super successful.

What. The. Fuck.

First, they took our physical games and media away. Then they made us subscribe. Now they take away everything when we stop paying for our subscriptions? I can't even conceive of what the next step will be -- will they charge us for having memories of their IP?

We need to reduce copyright terms and kill this cancer of IP hoarding. The rent-seekers are taking ownership away.
Its kind of ridiculous that this is the moment in time they decided to pull the plug. It feels like they leaked this to ensure they could get out of cloud by 2024.

GCP cloud skills/certs have just started becoming marketable. Only recently has GCP become something you can seriously suggest to managers and point to BigQuery, Stack driver, firebase and cloud run as reasons to switch. Cloud Run, dialogflow, bigquery and kubernetes engine are literally at the bleeding edge of where the industry is going and Cloud Dataflow is seeing adoption among lots of companies tired of running their own clusters.

It really seems like they leaked this to ensure they couldnt compete with AWS and Azure so they can jump ship in 2023.
If that were really the case people would care about wether you can program or not rather than if you have a degree which is the primary thing that most companies filter candidates on.

You're mostly likely getting lucky. We've gone through their highest tier startup program and have had so many account reps assigned that most aren't even with the company anymore. The ones that are don't reply to emails either.

GCP is the absolute worst at human support. Of course you get responses when you pay for support (since you're paying) but even then we've had several instances of refunded support costs because of a lack of reply over their SLA.
Interesting, didn't know press releases were vetted. I always figured they are just copied and pasted since there's sites where you can pay to syndicate them but not sure how legit that stuff is since never issued a press release, and with many companies running their own blogs wonder if it's even worth doing them anymore?

Also kinda reminds me of the lawsuit in Ohio against Facebook. A charter school ran ads, and messed up their attendance count, so other school districts are sueing Facebook trying to recover funds they thought should of went to their school districts instead, which seems like an interesting case but no updates on it in like 6 months, so not sure what the progress is on the case.

Also remember China does not have a real bail system. If you get arrested, you are very likely end up in prison directly. You also can be disappeared (better than be suicided) during the process.

Edit: No. I wasn't referring to the Epstein case.

Also, Chinese police has a habit of using force to rob the corpse of the victim from the family who want to send the corpse to the 3rd party for examination. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shishou_incident

I won a game using the same pope moment!

When I learned that the game was developed by BYU I decided to play a Mormon spy. I was able to grow my church by building churches in poor areas and aggressive use of missionaries. After I was big enough I declared a holy war on the Jehovah's Witnesses and eventually steal their Mind Control Tech. After buying a major media outlet I was able to use the mind control to take over North America. I demanded the Pope surrender his church to me and Mormonism and the game gave me a victory.

Honestly I played about 100 of these and it was maybe my favorite one:

The nice thing about their pricing is that it gets cheaper in the the second year and then again the third year. So from the third year on it's only 389 euro/year for the toolbox bundle that includes all products, so you'll be set for tools tools for any mainstream language.

You are joking, right?

Laptops and physical property are one thing. But your digital empire of customer data is another. Encryption, MFA, inactivity based locking, access controls, and the principle of least privilege helps ensure that when something inevitably does happen, the blast radius is contained.

I don't really care if someone were to smash the hell out of the office. Laptops are locked. Data is encrypted. That's why in fact we have insurance.

But a disgruntled or even careless employee could irreversibly damage an enterprise by letting happen (or deliberately causing) a data breach. All because the org didn't want to bother "dealing with" access controls.
I think things would be easier for the long tail with more investment from all in the tools space - better support for monolithic repos, unified CI/CD systems, etc.

I think that’s right. ECS for example is mature and in my opinion still the most robust and scalable “container-as-a-service” out there. In spite of the kubernetes hype, I suspect that ECS is more successful than any hosted kubernetes hosted solution out there (in terms of aggregate workload volume and revenue).

EKS on the other hand still feels like a checkbox service.
Google cloud head Kurian [1] is a former Oracle executive, how can you expect him to work differently when he has spend decades in oracle.

I believe google cloud platform might be slowly turning to be similar to oracle, if things do not change to care more for users. As many people noticed google like oracle started changing their products in such a way as to have lock-in like oracle.

So it’s just a matter of time when they start behaving like the old Oracle to use the lock-in to ask for price hikes.

This extreme focus on DoH is really concerning me.

If you're worried about your recursive DNS resolver spying on you, the correct solution is to run your own recursive resolver.

I've been running unbound(8) on my OpenBSD systems at home for most of 2019, and (except for the time that I experimented with turning on strict DNSSEC checking) there hasn't been even one time that it has caused me grief. It was as simple as "rcctl enable unbound".

And OpenBSD has recently introduced unwind(8), a dead-simple recursive resolver (using libunbound) that's suitable for any system (even laptops that sometimes use broken Wifi access points or networks that block outbound port 53).

It is simply unacceptable for a modern operating system to lack its own recursive resolver. By all means, allow the network administrator to configure the system to use a network-provided resolver if required, but the default ought to be an intelligent unwind(8)-style resolver provided by the OS itself.
If my experience from high school is still relevant, showing interest in much of anything besides the opposite sex, drugs, and music was considered uncool and being a tryhard.
i think that if you give PhD programs the power to grant green cards, they’ll become even more abusive. So abusive, in fact, that the only real reason to put up with them is because they control your hopes of getting a green card.

I think in a way we're saying the same thing...

No individual should be burdened by the interests of another, thought there is a very vocal group that wants to complain about the interests of others. As I see it, it's safe to disregard the views of this group if your views don't align with theirs.

If they'd even make some sub-brand explicitly for "shit we're serious about and promise we'll continue to invest in for a really long time"—and then actually stick by that—it'd go a long way. I think it's having no reliable indicator of their level of seriousness or commitment to a given product or service that's the main source of irritation for people. It's all just "Google" and who knows what the hell that means, this time.
agree for exactly the reasons above. the internship i did helped me understand so many things, from version control and unit testing to larger / longer-lived codebases, to the interpersonal dynamics of corporate settings... To this day I feel like I went through a relatively strong CS undergrad based on what I learned there vs. what my coworkers report having learned, but I also learned just as much via internships as I did in school.
Cloud is making a bank for Google and growing triple digits YOY. They are not abandoning it. They do want to pass the competition, obviously.
I feel it would be enough for Google to become a customer to GCP for it to become profitable.
The problem is that there's no real way to measure and appropriately attribute expense and profit to cloud; most infrastructures are shared across Google products and cloud. Simply put, none of ads, search or YT cannot exist without the cloud infrastructure.
Right, real-world email certainly has a lot of problems - mostly between keyboard and screen - and another large portion in boardrooms.
My guess is that if Microsoft is able to hold onto the JEDI contract (after Amazon's lawsuit/appeal), Azure is going to be much more unassailable than you think. As it's a huge in to being the de facto US government cloud provider.
Permits for single and multi-unit buildings are reported separately. The report I cited above is all UNITS i.e. the sum of all apartments in all buildings.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LOSA106BP1FH

The breakdown of permits issued in 2018 in Los Angeles was as follows:

1 Unit: 10042
2 Units: 1528
3-4 Units: 522
5+ Units: 17432
Total: 29524
Source: https://www.census.gov/construction/bps/txt/tb3u2018.txt

As you can see from the total, this is not anywhere near 50000 units per year, as you initially claimed. These 30000 units are also spread across an area with diameter far greater than the 14 miles you started with.

Also, in addition to being wrong about every other aspect of this debate, you are quite wrong about this one. By FAR the majority of PERMITS go to single-family homes.

When you are very ignorant about a topic, it would be helpful to type less and read more.
"it's unfortunately more about politics and luck than merit"

To reiterate, software is not all about writing software. There's usually an immense amount of buy-in you'll need from other people, not limited to other software engineers.

All while simultaneously trying to navigate budgets and legacy systems. Even if you're pretty heads down, you'll still see the outward effects of these things.

All these things are necessary though, as the system within which the software operates becomes increasingly complex over time, it becomes necessary to engage with many different people in a multitude of roles and capacities.
I'd be curious on the current amount of infrastructure, machines, data centers etc more than cost even.

Cost is interesting but it isn't as telling a number to me as # of servers, services etc is to me. Of course, I'd be curious to know any of it, as operating at that scale is so interesting.

My guess is it is in the 10's of millions per month for infrastructure costs, servers, network etc.
PBS Digital Studios is one of the best things on YouTube.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. My view is that the software-is-eating-the-world theory is essentially correct and so demand will exceed supply indefinitely.

That of course doesn’t mean the jobs will be as well paying as they are now, but I am not worried about lack of opportunities, barring a major recession.
Thanks a lot for the great comment.

I totally agree about the functionality. Stripe integration will be the next feature I will add. And even so, I still believe this boilerplate can save you at least a week of work. I already used it for my other projects and I can confirm it.

Dashboard UI is already done and I'm going to add more modules/components to make it easier to use. Do you have any suggestions what it would be?

Laravel Spark is one of the resources for inspiration :))) I just didn't implement everything I would like to - yet.

I fixed the license, the boilerplate can be used for any purposes (except ones against the law) - this version. Because I'm working on the commercial extension of it - and it will be a completely separate story. But even with using of commercial modules (or version) you will be totally free to use it and it will be completely white-labeled.

Another situation when you are trying to modify and resell a product but it has nothing to do with making a SaaS, right?
Your employees may not be the problem. But their accounts with brute-forced passwords or shared credentials will be a problem once a 3rd party finds out.
> (Incidentally, and you lose the game if you cancel your Stadia subscription.)

That is a factually incorrect statement. You lose access to any games you claimed for free as a benefit of your Stadia Pro membership if you cancel your membership; you regain access to those games if you renew, but you will not gain access to games that were offered for free during any interval where you were not a subscriber.

You retain access to any game you paid for, _even_ if you paid a discounted rate as a result of being a Stadia Pro member, even if your subscription is canceled.

Something along the lines of "Google execs considered cutting GCP, later decided to set 2023 as a deadline for improved financial performance."

A few months ago, someone I know who is close to the issue mentioned something along these exact lines to me. I shortly moved all of my GCP projects to a self-hosted server. Glad I did it.

Vital Learnings from Bootstrapping and Selling a $55k a Month Business
Interesting points. I suspect this is why chat is such a crap, low-throughput form communication; it's trivial for the sender to ship of a half-assed message - and very hard for the receiver to handle low-hundred conversations in a work-day - precisely because few(er) senders take the time to write a short, but dense message - and expect a reply-response dialogue "to quickly sort things out".

Which is much harder to both do in parallell and concurrently when busy with more than one snowflake problem at a time.

I'm sometimes shocked at how slowly things get done now, compared to when I worked a support desk in the early 2000s. But mostly I'm just a little sad at the overhead generated by chat.
Making changes to health insurance based on customer genetic information is illegal in the US.
You are reacting to a factually incorrect statement. You do not lose access to games you paid for if your Pro subscription is canceled.
No one likes a poor customer experience. But businesses will always choose a poor customer experience over the risk of a business shutting down.

That said, do you have any anecdotes about Google Cloud's customer service? Customer service from Google for app developers is non-existent.
Poor customer service is not exclusive to Amazon, google directly shut the product down which cannot earn search scale revenue. If you see comments below being downvoted by google PR for examples.

I believe all these large cloud companies be it amazon, google or Microsoft deploy army of PR people and campaigns to downvote or try to remove comments which are critical. Especially I have seen this on HN, earlier when I commented on Amazon. Now can see here when it’s critical of google.

The part about the author giving their friend their credentials detracts from the main point of the article, which is:

- Ring doesn’t check if the login comes from a new IP address or location

- the Ring app doesn’t tell users how many others are logged in

- Ring doesn’t check password dumps and alert users of reused credentials

I think we should all demand that major consumer electronic companies include these features.

If the metric for success is revenue then, no, they are not by any sensible measure super successful. Their revenue combined it’s a small fraction of search/ads.
And software skills will still be handy in the next career if worse comes to worse. There is great job security in being able to spreadsheet, for instance.
It's funny you say this. I've always had a suspicision that every budding programmer I encounter studies forward looking things, and if a young person did study something ancient like COBOL, they'd probably have great job security and stand out for the few companies that need that kind of developer.
Might be able to set the DPI switching stuff with its on device memory, set the rest of the buttons as generic mouse buttons, and then use it with SteerMouse.

But if battery life was the problem it wouldn’t fix that. I use mine at my desk so I just plug it in and don’t have that issue.
Google could fix this credibility problem in a single step by simply saying "We won't materially change documented functionality of services A, B, or C in the next 5 years. Upon breach of this promise, we will pay any affected user $10M".

If they did that, I'd trust them. If they breached my trust, I'd get a cool $10M. They wouldn't shutdown the service because of the extreme financial disincentive to do so.
