Indeed - in fact Microsoft recently tried to buy Pinterest just to get a large company that they can move from AWS to Azure:

> The deal, which would have been Microsoft’s largest acquisition to date, confirms that the tech giant is continuing to pursue an acquisition strategy aimed at amassing a portfolio of active online communities that could run on top of its Azure cloud computing platform. Pinterest - which boasts more than 320 million active users - currently relies on Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its infrastructure provider.

Two companies I’ve worked with have started using Miro for real time collaboration. It shows where everyone’s mouse is and lets you group edit on a huge whiteboard that you can zoom in/out of. Seems to work well for many things.
What if they aren’t visiting us because there’s too much of a genre they dislike?

I like WSL itself and would use it... except for the fact that I hate Windows and actively avoid using it. I'd rather run a Linux VM in Parallels on macOS than use Windows+WSL. I agree the NT kernel is nice in theory, and NTFS and .NET aren't bad either. But GDI, Win32/COM, the registry, Device Manager, the cmd.exe interpreter, backslash as path separator, drive letters, and so many other details are relics of a bygone and very misguided era from which they have yet to make a clean break. Stick all of that in a compatibility layer I can opt out of, and I'll be happy :)

Try resizing your browser window from the left edge -- watch the ugly, flickering repaints on the right side of the window. Yes, I know Linux does that too, but macOS doesn't. And someone besides Apple needs to build a DisplayPS-based, double-buffered compositing window manager on top of a clean, OSS platform. I'd personally rather it be Microsoft than any other of the big 5.

And if it were Linux-based, I wouldn't have to run a Linux VM on macOS anymore for my dev work :)
GCP (Google Cloud Print) was discontinued in 2020.
I seem to remember the Trump DOJ threatening to renew prosecutions and members of Congress making it clear that they would expand the prosecution ban if they had to.

They are perfectly willing to make pot legal, however, they prefer to avoid looking like they are doing so as long as possible.

Biden's open opposition is the bigger issue here. Lets not forget who was behind a lot of the drug war legislation.

Yes. People are trafficked in the US for restaurant labor, domestic servants and agricultural labor.

This sounds like a mis-characterization of the situation. It is not Google who have moved from Python 2 to 3, it's you. Google still offers and supports the legacy Python 2.7 runtime for App Engine, and will continue to do so indefinitely. The same is true about ndb and Firestore. It may be that you moved from NDB to Cloud NDB (Firestore), but nobody forced you to do it.

Obviously google has no obligation to do anything for free. It's still annoying when they cancel services and we like dunking on them when they do.
Woof, sorry. I worked on the Users API deprecation a while ago (2018-2019, prior to any announcement), and there were a few features that just couldn't be migrated reasonably to OAuth (e.g. the `admin` functionality). We did consider things like moving to Cloud IAM (e.g. what we did for GCF and Run) as well as Firebase Auth, but couldn't replicate everything :/
Ok, imagine I lost my job. I file for unemployment. As a condition of receiving unemployment, I have to accept any reasonable job offers. Shortly after going on employment, a man approaches me, offers me money to “go on dates.” Says he’ll give me a salary and “make it all legal.”

If I say no, so I still get unemployment?

If prostitution is a perfectly fine occupation, why not?

Legal forms of sex work (stripping, etc) have a special legal status that allows people to receive unemployment benefits while rejecting those positions.

The logic behind this is “sex work is bad and dehumanizing.”
Do you know what indict means?
Honestly it's on the less severe side of data leaks considering what could have been leaked. No location history at least.

Really the only improvement (besides not getting hacked) would be not storing the license plate numbers/vales. They could be hashed just like passwords using bcrypt.

What's interesting is they say the salt values were not stored which is odd as typically password hashes use per input unique salts that have to be stored. Not sure if that means they used an additional salt or if they reused the same salt.
That isn't a Google Compute Platform product.
Why not use Signal and turn off read receipts (and typing indicators and previews)? Then you don't have the SMS insecurities (which reveals your locations) and the other metadata issues? That seems to actually fit all your criteria.
Well, that's one way to keep the rich in town.
No, I read first hand experiences. Your friend can be whatever she wants, but if she is trying to argue that ICE doesn't pursue non-criminals, she is untrustworthy.
I've done about 6 requests for increased over the last 2 years and all have been accepted. All I had to do was giveca valid business case like:

"We are setting up more customer environments and are running out of X"

It was usually increased within the hour.
100% this. Deprecating things your customers use always sucks for your customers. No matter what. It doesn't matter how long the notice is. It doesn't matter how good the replacement is. You have made work for your customers that they wouldn't otherwise need to do.

If discretion is applied to every single crime, it's got nothing to do with extenuating circumstances and everything to do with bad laws that shouldn't exist. For the state to make a law and then refuse to prosecute it is dangerous, because it could at any time turn around and start.
The connector won't affect thickness, it will go at one end of the battery.

For the layers of plastic, the battery already has a wrapping, and the phone already has a back. You just have to reinforce the wrapping on the battery. How much thickness do you think that needs? It's definitely not five millimeters.
I propose we ban every entity from buying location data without explicit consent.
I don't see why that means there will be a tie.
Thanks for your important work, Greg!

I'm currently wondering how much of these patches could've been flagged in an automated manner, in the sense of fuzzing specific parts that have been modified (and a fuzzer that is memory/binary aware).

Would a project like this be unfeasible due to the sheer amount of commits/day?

Amplifying a value judgement is very different than amplifying facts, or an opportunity of some kind.

Don't blame the guy at all. Asking people to say it runs better is basically buying endorsements, not too unlike payola bought "popular" air play on radio.

Had they asked people to say why they ran the software, or to point to some compelling facts is a different sort of thing.

One does wonder why all the cheerleading is necessary...

Runs good, does it not? Of course it does, and the best sale is on product strengths amd value proposition, not how badly other products suck.

Maybe this is all about limiting the future value of statements from these people in the future? I saw attempts to do that in another industry, by the way.

What they would do during pre-sales, "top gun" technical type training is get people on tape with hard to back away from statements about their software as well as competitors. Now I had a dual role at the time, and also took the sales related training where they showed just how ruthless they could be and how to do it well and close those fucking dealz! (This company would try to get people with strong exceptions fired, no joke.)

Oops, lol.

I was young at the time, but had already seen that industry shift, consolidate, and it was totally obvious one never could know whose products and for whom one is employed, or even free agent.

I did not do it, always changing the script to something benign.

And this training was intended for the ace people doing demos, closing presentations, concept proofs, and a lot of ad hoc magic. Seriously fun and challenging stuff!

When I did not comply, they actually called my employer and talked to peers in an attempt to either get me on board, locked in, or out of their scene.

Not saying that is what is or was intended. Not at all.

I am saying it can pay to be conservative on these kinds of things and one reason why. There are many more.

Again, I do not blame him and would likely have declined myself.

I do blame marketing who just does not need to put people in this position.
It's 100% our mistake(s). It's only AWS fault indirectly, in that AWS is complicated and requires a lot of non transferable knowledge.

As a small example, we currently pay $750 for Route53. We don't know why (it isn't traffic). It has something to do with Route53 resolvers that our "lead sre" setup before leaving. AWS support doesn't understand how it's setup, and since $750 is relatively small, we've just left it.
I've only used my work VPN, so I just assumed commercial VPNs had similar mechanics. They don't lease IP addresses?
In Australia you have to pay extra for this feature, like $3/month, and extra for caller ID blocking, but cell numbers get unlisted status for free. I haven't had a landline for a decade. Is this still the case in the US?(https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2010/08/unlisted-phon...)

Makes me wonder how sparse phone numbers would have to be to make spam impractical. Would people use long virtual numbers? Imagine if your friends had your 64 digit phone number, and you would know it was a non spam inbound caller.

Or even better, TOFU, like a Signal call. Or just a Signal data channel over LTE.
So I read the whole paper, and not just the abstract. The authors do not conflate caffeine and coffee in the meta-analysis, in fact, they cite several studies that document the association between coffee consumption and the reduced risk of cognitive decline.

Rent is a cost that is going to need to be paid whether you live in the place, or rent it out.

If you live in it, you pay (or lose) imputed rent anyway. If you currently can rent for lower than the cost of capital, you are ahead (except for taxation, which does change the equation - cost of capital for investment is cheaper, usually, than for home residence due to tax incentives).

Funny, since AWS has much more granular control over IAM roles and users than GCP does, so that the infrastructure/security group should be able to provision devs with the ability to roll their own IAM in a scoped way to prevent issues.
Keeping prostitution illegal protects the human trafficking trade.

I think that was your point, but it can be taken either way.
I’ve heard a very high pitched hissing tone since mid-February. My personal theory is that it has possibly been the lack of noise / change in noise that amplified my perception of this frequency. I couldn’t find much information online, other than just ignore it and it should fade or focus on it and it will likely self-reinforce.

[DISCLAMER: I used to work at Google in general, but not at Google Cloud]

I'm not sure whether this has been discussed here before, but I'd love to take this forum to share an angle from the tech side of things:

IMO, Google is _cursed_ to keep deprecating its products and services. It's cursed by Google's famous choice of mono-repo tech stack.

It makes all the sense and has all the benefits. But at a cost: we had to keep every single line of code in active development mode. Whenever someone changed a line of code in a random file that's three steps away on your dependency chain, you will get a ticket to understand what has changed, make changes and fire up every tests (also fix them in 99% of the cases).

Yeah, the "Fuck You. Drop whatever you are doing because it’s not important. What is important is OUR time. It’s costing us time and money to support our shit, and we’re tired of it, so we’re not going to support it anymore." is kind of true story for internal engineers.

We once had a shipped product (which took about 20-engineer-month to develop in the first place) in maintenance mode, but still requires a full time engineer to deal with those random things all the time. Would have save 90% of that person's time it it's on a sperate branch and we only need to focus on security patches. (NO, there is no such concept of branching in Google's dev system).

We kept doing this for a while and soon realized that there is no way we can sustain this, especially after the only guys who understand how everything works switched teams. Thus, it just became obvious that deprecation is the only "responsible" and "reasonable" choice.

Honestly, I think Google's engineering practice is somewhat flawed for the lack of a good solution to support shipped products in maintenance. As a result, there is either massively successful products being actively developed; or deprecated products.
The "hypocrite commit" preprint/abstract was a controversy which broke late last year. Prof. Lu at that point published an FAQ stating that he didn't think it was Human Subject Research (HSR) and got a post hoc review from the UMN IRB giving him a free pass, agreeing that attempting to con humans is apparently not HSR by their lights. This is three month old news at this point, and is quite well established.

What triggered the ban now is another set of suspicious commits was sent by a graduate student in the same research group.
> This is what I asked - why do you think this is? I'm not convinced

The simplest way to explain is to just look at basic math: if there are 3 doctor jobs and 4 doctors, one gets the short end of the stick.

> master degrees, in what

In STEM, most surprisingly, but also other careers that sound fairly reasonable. You'd think stuff like civil engineering or accounting would be fine careers, right? But somehow, Uber drivers have the craziest life stories...

DreamWorld (YC W21) MMO raises all red flags
Totally understandable if you ask me. There's difficult and there's difficult. I've had someone like you mentioned before as well. Especially the pet issue part of it. Really bright guys that know what they're doing and they're awesome if you can focus them. But left unchecked ROI just isn't there. No we can't spend 80% of our time refactoring everything to match _their_ ideals.

To make another example of where I personally can't shut up: if I see someone propose a stupid rollout plan that's got a real good chance to eff things up royally, then I will say that it stinks and why. That doesn't always mean doing it in the big 3k/hour meeting like in your example. And I'm not talking about a 'pet issue'. I can obviously be overruled and that's fine. I've brought it up and have it black on white that they were warned and they made the decision anyway. Fine by me. Don't blame me afterwards. I won't do unpaid overtime later to fix your shit.

But I sure have seen way more than 3k/hour spent in meeting upon meeting after the warnings weren't heeded and it did explode in their faces.
Had a really good friend in college who was a feminist activist. Smart, straight A student, good upbringing, had graduate degrees.

She became a sex worked as part of the “sex work as liberation” movement.

I met her at a college reunion and asked her about how it worked out. She laughed and said: “I’m the only person I know who has never had a Facebook page. I can’t. That stuff follows you forever.”

Edit: She used her real name with most clients. This wasn’t a huge issue, because her name was identical to a popular porn star. Everyone assumed it was fake, and Googling it was impossible. Than the porn star quit, and eventually was forgotten. Her clients haven’t forgotten, sadly. Now googling her name brings up actual photos of her from a professional association belongs to.
When you buy a gold ring you're paying for something that's been made from gold (and time and energy...) When you buy a bitcoin you're paying for something that's been made from just time and electricity. Not used.
This sort of thing doesn’t deserve justice because she actively undermined it. She needs to be sent to the prison with the most prisoners she put away and thrown in with the general population. No need to worry about whether it’s a male or female prison.
I mentioned the 29k since (as I remember, it's been a while) it didn't have a multiply instruction.

I am using GKE, buckets, cloud SQL, pubsub and IAM, big query.

Our costs are 1/3rd of what AWS was.

Their support isn't as good as AWS.

I use terraform for everything and Google authors that provider and I find that their resources are very consistent.

IAM is a bit of a mess but at least it is a consistent mess.

A genuinely interesting question. For most of human history, having children without a family around to invest in them was setting up for disaster - maybe some sort of cultural hangover from that? Birth control is still pretty recent.

The situation is too specific for it just to be authoritarian types trying to muscle in on people's lives. There might be something triggering here that is specific to how people think about sex.
I’m curious how European economies justify the high cost of starting a business?

Maybe I don’t fully appreciate the situation. I have known some German freelancers be stuck, unable to afford to start a business. However without a business the freelancers clients will be seen as participating in disguised employment. Same goes for issues the OP cites like personal liability, etc. In the US, business licenses are relatively easily obtained to protect individuals. It would seem to benefit society to encourage new ventures. Though this is perhaps my American biases. I’m sure I’m misunderstanding something.
Potentially not if the entity was based only in that state, only collecting data on residents of that state, and only then when those residents were physically located in that state. So basically a situation that would never exist.

In all likelihood, it'll run just fine.

Skimming through subject lines of 190 commits being reverted here, every single one of them is along the lines of "add refcount/NULL/etc check and conditionally do (or do not) de-allocate memory before error-path return". I.e. worst case - this will reintroduce some rare memory leak or memory lifecycle bug.

Also, all of patches in question are in drivers. So depending on hardware used, any given system's user is likely to only have to worry about 2-3, maybe 5 of the patches, not all 190.
There is plenty of trafficking out there even in countries where it is legal. Germany is an excellent case in point.

There's a difference between attacking their privacy (which is fair and should be done regularly if users' privacy is at stake) and claiming access to secure data that is wholly untrue.
Thanks to you both.
It's not that one-sided. On AWS, you have to go hunt to find the pricing for everything. On GCP, it's right next to the instance that you're starting. The GCP dashboard also provides recommendations to down-size VMs if they are too large. On AWS it's also super easy to spin up a VM and never see it because it's in a different region. These little things add up.
There is research that shows countries with legal prostitution have more trafficking. You can Google it if you want.

> If I stop renting, someone else will pick up the bill.

aka, they are charging the market rate, which other people in the market are willing to pay for the use of the building.

The increase in rental income for landlords mean that there should be pressure to build more buildings to let out. Market forces _should_ cause stablization, if only it is allowed to work long term. Short term, there will be pain, because you can't build a new building instantly, but this pain is what causes new buildings to spring up. Market-distorting forces, such as building density/height regulation, and local residents' complaints (NIMBYism) is the cause for the lack of stablization imho.

Eh, this goes two ways. Cellebrite is rarely going to result in the only meaningful evidence that proves a single element of the offense. Instead, it is often used to further an investigation in order to find evidence that is more damning and of a higher evidentiary value. Fortunately for law enforcement, the integrity of the Cellebrite-obtained data is all that important if it leads to further evidence that is more significant.
I’m always considering the potential for Google to deprecate GCP but, for us, it’s the best option today.

We’re heavily invested in GCP but aside from BQ, I feel we can lift and shift to another provider if need be with some pain. Even our BQ work, while extensive, is mostly SQL and would likely work with effort but nothing earth shattering.

That said, I still prefer GCP to AWS by far, but there’s no way they’re going to surpass AWS by 2023 unless something big changes.
