I'd argue that UX requires a lot of engagement and work by software engineers. Sure it isn't work people with the title of "UX designer" or whatever would do, which is why the UX role is usually bullshit, but it is still work needed to fix the UX. And small developer led teams often refuse to bother to even consider that they have to change anything to fix these things.
> Meanwhile eSNI/ECH breaks network visibility into the networks I'm responsible for managing (at home and work).

Well, don't worry about it, since apparently no one can use it and it'll get blocked, right?

I don't understand the simultaneous argument of "this won't be usable because governments will all block it" and "this is going to make it impossible for me to monitor my network." Both of those arguments can't be correct at the same time; if your government won't block eSNI, then it'll be a privacy boost in your country and it's a realistic path for privacy advocates to pursue. If your government does block eSNI, then why are your worried about your personal network?
I don't recall where it is on BofA's website, but most banks have some feature along the lines of "send me an email when a transaction over X amount happens". I just set that value to $0 or $0.01 so I get emails for every transaction made.
Many people at Google have held this opinion over the past decade are now former Googlers because they've realized you can't fix it. They've realized this is an excuse people in the cult use to justify to themselves and their conscience still being there, when all evidence points to it being impossible to course correct Google from within as an engineer.
Is there any human organization that is not making the world worse in one way or another? Its pretty much relative in any case, hardly purely evil or purely good unless you are very naive or very young.
That’s true, because nothing can be at this point. That yardstick is in our rear-view mirror.
I replaced the clock movement on two analog clocks at home to sync with WWVB. It's pretty nice not having to set them up at all, and replacing the battery (not even once a year) is almost fun.
I'm not sure about Terraform, but Pulumi has an options object that can set parameters about how Pulumi interacts with that resource. I tend to enable `protect` on database resources which prevents Pulumi from deleting it.

AWS has done a great job at making it difficult-to-impossible to tear everything down in a single command. There are rate limits on resource deletion and no single place to remove items in bulk if not managed by Cloud Formation. I spent the better part of a couple days trying to clean up an account from all of the random supporting services that get created over the years. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know!
That probably works, but a downside is that you probably want privacy when having a 1:1, and if you only leave for a meeting room when it's a difficult conversation, then people are going to be able to tell.

Also when I worked in a former HP building there weren't any windows in the offices, so that was depressing.

For all Urs' bad points, the point about internal vs external is incredibly true. XAML was a slow, painful mess in Windows 8 because all of the internal UI was largely developed in a parallel private internal framework. Once the internal shell UI started being built with the exact same frameworks and tools as public customers had to use, there was suddenly a bunch more pressure and resources dedicated to making them suck less, and the ecosystem as a whole was better for it.
"If Jeff Bezos disappeared, and there was a question that he was in trouble with the US government, I think the press would be all over this. In this case, nobody seems to be too curious about it," via [an interview](https://racket.com/stu/rt6Yh) with the George Calhoun, the author of this piece.

That really may be what's most noteworthy about this case—it feels like it should be a bigger deal, and so it's hard not to speculate about it.

I tend to agree. There are enough problem alerters without solutions in most organizations that it’s not necessary to amplify one’s lack of solutions or influence with comics.
Lots of good comics in there. A few I haven't seen highlighted yet:

https://goomics.net/127/ - poor, poor Google Plus. Somehow it wasn't a warning sign that the big executive-supported project to Win Social was a laughingstock internally.

https://goomics.net/202/ followed years later by https://goomics.net/294/ - everybody expected TGIF to get worse over time, and apparently it did.

https://goomics.net/118/ - the last of three TailGator comics. A more innocent time.

And last, https://goomics.net/106/ - not Google-specific at all, but an instant classic of the industry.
That's right around the time the sexual misconduct allegations at Google became public (well, the second set regarding Andy Ruben... The ones regarding Vivek Gundotra's behavior came out in 2015).

It was a tough pill to swallow for quite a few Googlers that the higher-ups knew about Ruben's behavior and golden-parachuted him instead of cutting him loose (especially because the story broke on the heels of the Damore memo fallout). Questions at All Hands became a lot more pointed, leadership responded by becoming significantly less welcoming to open discussion... It got ugly. Or, if you will, "normal corporate-y."
It would be nice if Microsoft put more resources into securing their operating system than endlessly adding new bloated features useful to virtually nobody
You are correct that it does, but not every change made by engineers is a UX change. But even if you want to think of it like that, the backend changes still need to happen first in order to get any significant UX change going.

>small developer led teams often refuse to bother to even consider that they have to change anything to fix these things.

My former (I moved) Orthodox neighbors had some lovely coded language for this sort of thing. "Our house is really hot, do you want to come over?" "We're cooking, perhaps you have some advice?"

I actually enjoyed being the goy for a few years.
Agreed. I never got the sense Google knows how to train managers... It favors a very self-organizing approach, and the feedback loops seem structured to deal with under-performing management by freezing them out of promotion (and hoping they either fix the problem or quit), not replacing them.

The consequence is that teams are fiefdoms, and the experience varies wildly based on whether a manager knows what the hell they're doing.
We really do need all resources we can muster, even if by miracle. Covid crisis is not over.

The virus is mutating. "the (Israeli) government said that as of June 6, the (Pfizer) vaccine provided 64% protection against infection".

The vaccines are narrow in scope, making mutations likely to evade vaccine protection.

The world population is large. Most people live outside developed countries, and don't have easy access to -15C storage equipment.
Tangent, but perhaps related, we've also released something related to a video platform tool called Pyro

Pyro lets you...

- Create a site with your own domain name

- Find, curate and display videos on your site from multiple sources (YouTube, Vimeo etc) based on keywords that you are interested in (e.g. AI, ML, startup)

- Allow users to sign up and login as a member, submit videos, upload videos (admins can review + approve).

- Build a community based around those videos and scale, members can comment, like, create watch list etc.

I agree it's a bad example re: the Bezos quote, but I also don't think it's an example of anecdotes leading people astray. IMO it's from the brand of bad pop sci that misinterprets perfectly good data while ranting about how amazing science is and how stupid anecdotes are.
Yep, I do. But lots of employers don't offer any form of equity as compensation. The same employers that demand their employees to be "invested" in the company.
From experience I am almost certain the issue has to do with architecture, the original developers didn't properly consider UX when making the first steps and that has shaped how everything else was implemented in it, and this is the end result. Fixing it at that stage is way too much work as you said, rewriting all tools and the UI from scratch would probably be the easiest way to fix the UX at this point. If it was easy then it would have been fixed as it is an open project as you said.
What did you switch to, if anything?

I know your type, "The US also has issues, but it is ruled by white people so they are manageable , it is not horrible like those 'here be dragons' lands of dark-skinned people', well no, the issues of the US are as a big as any other country, and even more,the US actively participates in creating havoc in the world. I know you think I am the lunatic here, well, see this for example:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/05/us-threat-demo...

So ask yourself, who is right? The world is 7+ billion people, not 330 MM. And who in their right mind can take seriously a criticism from an American? it is like being called a slut by the "madame" from the whorehouse.

> You mean like living in any homogeneous Asian country as any ethnicity except the primary one?

How many racial minorities were killed, abused and tortured by the police in South Korea and Japan last year? How many racial minorities there are going to jail at a 400% proportion of its population? How many racial minorities there are protesting torching the country because they are being called niggers, or spics and openly insulted by the president, called rapists, bad hombres, bad people?Or being patronized by Biden : " Poor Children can be as smart as white Children" "All black people are the same"(Notice a pattern here?) Let me tell you about a Japanese racial minority, the Okinawans, whose women have been raped constantly by American GIs who are not even judged. Ask the Okinawans what do they think about the Americans?

Another Pacific minority? The people in the Bikini Atolls, see how the rich, diverse, enlightened and multicultural vibrant country treated them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjqoiT-RS4A

> t seems like you think the US is one entity, but depending on the city and state it can be extremely multicultural and diverse (like Chicago, my home town).

So let me get this straight, you consider any Asian country as homogeneous (where more than half of the world lives and there are hundreds of ethnicities), yet Chicago is multicultural? I will tell you what the problem is: You think of American as the vanilla version of the world, so they can adapt themselves and be diverse and individual and the Asians, are the "Chinamen", the homogeneous,android-like, everybody the same. The world does not work like that. But this is a discussion that is worthless. You are a citizen of the modern Roman Empire, your world spin around "Rome" and all the roads led to it. Many more generations are needed to see a change on this hegemonic worldview.
Sure, this is about race, not income inequality or underpaid teachers or overcrowded schools... At very least get your facts straight: According to Canada's 2016 census about 73% of Canadians are white. By now that percentage is probably lower.
Lateral moves to another part of town or metro area are hardly worth noting, except that given the time period you're talking about, many people moved from the city to the suburbs during the height of Covid. It's a nice narrative to paint, but barring some turnaround for SF the writing is on the wall. The emigration was already hiking before the pandemic.

"between 2019 and 2020, the number of households leaving skyrocketed by more than 77%, or roughly 35,000 households — from 45,263 in 2019 to 80,371 in 2020."

"But while many city residents left for the outer Bay Area counties, the region also lost population during the pandemic, according to the postal service data. In March to November of 2019, nearly 61,000 more change of address requests were made out of the nine counties than into them. In the same period in 2020, 111,350 more requests were made out of the nine counties than into them."

CA's major cities are losing pop and CA lost a House seat.
The influx of 100k people working warehouse jobs does not outweigh the 1,000 software engineers who left and will never return

A quick search reveals an article [1] documenting some of the zoning issues that seem to have started in the 1870s.

It mentions many different discriminatory zoning practices throughout the history of the city, and it does show an article from 1978 where people started to voice concerns over pricing.

This reminds me of the old "is it ok to smoke while praying/pray while smoking" question:

A young priest asked his bishop, “May I smoke while praying?”...
The answer was an emphatic “No!”

Later, when he sees an older priest puffing on a cigarette while praying, the younger priest scolded him, “You shouldn’t be smoking while praying! I asked the bishop, and he said I couldn’t do it!”

“That’s odd,” the old priest replied. “I asked the bishop if I could pray while I’m smoking, and he told me that it was okay to pray at any time!”

I first heard it from an Alan Watts talk, but couldn't easily find the quote, so I used one from r/jokes, at

It would be legal! But it wouldn't "reconstruct" Microsoft software. The way Copilot works is just that, a copilot. It's not the pilot. It's your own fault for what you do with it, it's just giving you some help along the way.

nah, you need to apply good software dev practices, give excellent pay, benefits and vacations.

Everything else is BS.

You give me the above points I'll give my 100% from 9-5 of course.
Copilot isn't a retrieval model. It's a generative model. It learns the coding techniques, not retrieving snippets. Only 0.1% of code it generates is regurgitated, and even that is usually pretty common code.
The company has made the transition from small to large and pretends (culturally) to not have noticed.

It still bills itself as small and individual-driven, but that's propaganda. It'll still welcome an individual or small team working their ass off to make the next Gmail, but it doesn't care about that individual's opinion on whether it's acceptable to materially support Border Patrol and would much prefer they get on with those table-stakes improvements to the BigQuery search engine properly handling Hispanic names.
> DoH encrypts precisely zero data that is not already present in unencrypted form.

What's the point in locking my front door if I leave my window open? And what's the point in closing my window while my front door is unlocked?

This argument is circular. If you want to secure something that is widely insecure, then you have to start somewhere. It's not like people are ignoring SNI and IP addresses. They're just being handled in separate efforts than DNS is.

> Think that ESNI will save you? Well that's being blocked

If you're working with the assumption that any serious attempt to secure hostnames will eventually be blocked, then what's the point of anything at all? Should we just completely give up on security/privacy because the state won't allow it?

We can address ESNI blocks as a separate effort from DNS. We don't have to do literally everything at the same time, it's OK for us to gradually move towards better security and address each problem one at a time.

> Do you think that DoH prevents adversaries from doing censorship and/or surveillance?

Given the amount of complaining I'm seeing from multiple network operators on this very article, yes, there's a pretty strong likelyhood that it helps. Because if it didn't, then network operators wouldn't be complaining about it.

How do you square "DoH is useless" with these kinds of comments in your own linked articles?

> In a paper published last month, the SANS Institute, one of the world's largest cyber-security training organizations, said that "the unmitigated usage of encrypted DNS, particularly DNS over HTTPS, could allow attackers and insiders to bypass organizational controls."

> "The trend is unmistakable: DNS monitoring will get harder," the Dutch agency said.

> The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a British watchdog group with a declared mission to minimize the availability of online child sexual abuse content, also criticized both Google and Mozilla, claiming the browser makers were ruining years of work in protecting the British public from abusive content by providing a new method for accessing illegal content.

Does DoH make blocking/monitoring content harder or not? Is the UK lying when it says that DoH will make it harder for them to block content at the ISP level?

As the other respondent said, that's not my generalized experience at Google. I am aware of one situation where I heard that someone who was planning to go up for promo was recreating important documents with only their name on it and then soliciting feedback from people in leadership to beef up their packet. It was not great, but it was successful.

But that was the only one of those that I've seen - after 14 years, I would imagine I would have seen more. In general, the big weakness in Google's promo process is that projects that are visible to leadership get more attention than those who are grinding it out behind the scenes. There's been genuine attempts to address that, but it's hard from a practical standpoint.
