Not the previous commenter, but from what I understand is this.

Previously:
Poor purchasing power = 5
Rich purchasing power = 100

Now:
Poor purchasing power = 15
Rich purchasing power = 500

This means even though the wealth inequality increased, the poor still are better off than before. Its not suggesting that BECAUSE of wealth inequality the poor are better off.
And so my last dependency on Google solves itself shrug.
Yep.

I think it's better at technical things for any kind of developer or technical person, generally. (Even at non-technical things in some cases: KDE, as a desktop environment, wipes the floor with Windows's desktop environment, from the taskbar to the file manager.)

But if one developer's "better" includes "playing <AAA game with anticheat>" or "using Photoshop" or "using VR", the betterness is sharply decreased.

I count myself extremely lucky my need/want matrix has happened to align such that I'm much more comfortable on Linux than on Windows, but that alignment is sadly RNG. :p
Most enterprises are using AD domain or Azure AD joined Windows 10 or 11 PCs. With an IT admin that tries to turn off as much that crap as possible. + Office 365 for email, Teams, Office apps etc.

Linux on the desktop is not really doable. Why? GPO/Intune polices. Interoperability with other companies/customers.

Same for Mac. JAMF or Intune MDM would need to be added.

Thanks god Russia has nukes, otherwise American liberators would have already liberated us. (I don't justify Ukrainian conflict, it's another issue).
We used to be able to say AP, Reuters, NYTimes aren't partisan, and we used to be able to joke about RU news being Pravda-style propaganda. Unfortunately, we can no longer really mock the Russians this way with a straight face, as we have now started to look more like Soviet Russia.

It would be more honest to write “I do not know why Eastern European countries have considered themselves under threat from Russia and Belarus for a considerable amount of time,” or perhaps you could just read up on it.

Going by a friends experience, infusion clinics need to be investigated more regularly by medical professionals. Co-worker went to one for treatment and from her recollection of the event they left her in a dark room with a white noise generator while she went down the k-hole.

I don't believe it has yet been established if these ads are downloaded on-demand. If the messaging is instead shipped via Windows Update, I don't think that would create any additional attack surfaces.

I'm looking at driving behaviour in isolation to most other crimes and misdemeanors because there are no mitigating factors for driving in a dangerous and anti-social manner. If a large fine is going to hurt you then you have a simple choice and the correct choice has no negative consequences to you whatsoever, unless reaching the next stop sign a few seconds earlier is that important to you.

Yes I do drive and I don't claim to be always perfect but I do not willingly drive in a dangerous and reckless manner.

Emerging human rights concern related to invasion of Ukraine
The article mentions that "on record" only covers the last ~40 years 5 separate times, including in the first sentence and visually in a graph. Is there any way it could be more clear? It also says in the subtitle and body that this change is probably not due to global warming. How are you reading it as an "effort to drive anxiety of extinction"?

It's honestly hard to imagine a more mildly-framed climate-related story that is still accurate. Do you have an example of some climate-related coverage that you find acceptable?
That seems a bit overdramatic; it's not like people couldn't still access those search engines at all in Firefox; they just would have to go directly to the website instead of using the dropdown menu.

> Degree inflation means that getting a job with one is about as hard as getting a job without one a couple decades ago.

Agreed. Still both easier than getting a job without a degree now!

> In any case, who you know is usually more important than what you know when starting out.

Erm not really - when you're starting out you don't know anyone, so you can't use networking to get a job and qualifications are relatively more important. It's only when you've had a bit of a career that you start to have a network and can e.g. bypass HR because you know someone.

> I've never asked a programmer about their college education in an interview and I don't see a reason to start asking that question.

Me neither but programming is a bit of an exception. I think because so many people learn it on their own, and because it's relatively easy to directly test in an interview. It wouldn't be the same for accountancy or management or lawyers or doctors or ...

Recognizing the year's worst in government transparency
This article is about technical details of the product that aren't user-facing.

The business is fairly straightforward: we sell computers, a rack at a time. You as a customer can buy a rack, and put it in your data center. The rack offers an in-browser management console, built on top of an API you can use too. You use these tools to set up virtual machines. You can then use those VMs however you want. You get the cloud deployment model but with the "I buy the servers" ownership model.

There's a few different advantages depending on how you want to look at it.

Starting from a rack as the smallest unit rather than 1U brings a lot of advantages, but there aren't really vendors currently selling these sorts of things, instead "the hyperscalers" have internal teams building stuff like this. There are a lot of organizations who want hyperscale style servers but aren't going to start a division to begin making them themselves.

Another advantage is that everything is designed to work with the rest of it: you (or the OEM you're buying from) are not cobbling together a bunch of hardware, firmware, and software solutions from disparate vendors and hoping the whole thing works. Think "Apple," or "Sun," rather than "IBM PC Compatible." This is easier for users, as well as allows us to build systems we believe are more reliable.

There's also smaller things, like "as much as possible everything is open source/free software," which matters to some folks (and allows for interesting things like the above blog post to happen!) and is less important to others.
The Donbass war was a typical separatist war which i supported (in particular i supported Russian military help as a way to equalize the military chances and thus force the peaceful solution by making military solution unachievable for either side) as i in general usually support separatists. Conducting that war, Ukraine for example has never attacked Russian territory, say Moscow or St.Petersburg, as it would be pure war crime unrelated to war. You seem to be suggesting that current attacks on Chernigov, Harkiv, Kiev, etc. are part of that war. I fail to see connection here.

On Feb 24 Putin started a new war, not related to the Donbass war. The main goal of the new war was explicitly proclaimed by Putin as "Ukraine doesn't exist. Ukrainians don't exist. Anybody resisting to that is to be killed."

I signed up for the form. Have not heard but they DID say it would be after April 1.

My guess is they have a Family Tier. Same limits as free, but with a cost.

Personally I'm willing to foot the bill if i have to, but that will probably only be a stopgap to get to something that is cheaper.

Unfortunately a lot of the heralded services (ie: ProtonMail) dont have the same services (ie: no contacts sync or notes sync etc). That is VERY handy outside the app. While i could work around it, not sure family would be a willing.
Yeah, someone asking you every 15 minutes for an update while you're trying to read the beginner's guide to service X and connect it to their question isn't a fun time.

Everyone on my team under this domain had these zoho emails and was wondering the point of this masochistic exercise of not using gmail.

and yet, I mean it works, and its not a Zoho issue, its a Google network effects issue. Having to make a google account for your non-google email just to join a meet or load a spreadsheet is just bleeeeehhhhhh! I think its the mental association with that email then having a gmail inbox, but it doesnt end there as I'm pretty sure the ux was worse than just that.

Why would you ever expect a service like this to be free in perpetuity? It's hardly a bait and switch: you never paid for anything, and still got 15+ years of service!
The reason is that it's too expansive - it would mean we stop whatever we're doing and focus almost all resources on this for decades.

If the price wasn't an issue then there are simpler ways to deal with global warming without building anything - just consume less. But we're not doing that cause it's politically unpopular. So any solution that relies on majority of people making huge sacrifices probably won't fly either.
'low level' tech ? like writing drivers and stuff in C?
I don't think that's really fair. I know enough former Microsoft employees and was one long ago enough to know that they don't really listen to us unless we're the team that designed it.

Removing the start button was a classic example, and there is or was plenty of unrest in the walls of Microsoft around all the data being collected.

I am more than confident there are 10s of thousands of employees that are either resigned in disappointment or actively annoyed at what Microsoft has done here with these ads, just like the Skydrive ads before them.

Disclosure: worked for Microsoft a long time ago. My views, obviously, do not reflect their values.

Your final paragraph is pretty on-point.

Google has a monopoly and are part of many dupolies in many areas. Offering free services to create lockin and switching the terms is the basis of the complaints here.

> You're completely discounting the overhead of running a $10/mo service, not to mention the cost of acquisition.

You're entirely misreading what I said. They already have the service and that is an existing cost. To have the ads is an additional cost (and a massive one at that), which could be entirely replaced with a virtually zero-cost purchase form. That's less overhead, not equal -- and certainly not more. Also, I specifically referenced the overhead in my comment, so it's amazing that you would claim I'm disregarding it.

> Google and other free-to-use search engines aren't going away in this scenario, so this hypothetical paid search engine will need to "compete with free"

I literally used Google as an example of how they could make more money without ads, and I didn't say anything at all about them only having a paid option. Also, my conclusion was that paid can't compete with free, so you just reiterated my point in an attempt to "prove me wrong."

> If you're competing with free, you need to offer a better experience than the free service. Cutting the BS sounds good, but is it $10/mo better than the free service?

I said $10/year, not $10/mo. Is $1/mo worth it from a user perspective to remove ads and privacy invasive features? The universal answer to that for any employed individual is yes (even if they've been tricked into thinking otherwise), because all of these companies have repeatedly proven that they can't be trusted to monetize free services without acting incredibly harmful in the process.

> Finally, the biggest issue is that, with the ad model, the minimum Google earns per user is $0.75/mo, but they could make notably more off of negotiated deals for big purchases (eg: Google could sell placements against high-dollar things like real estate for more money) or could just get a windfall from high-frequency months; with your model, the maximum the business can ever earn is $10/mo.

I said that $0.75 was the average, not the minimum, and that was already based on an average of all of the higher and lower term rates. If users are contributing $0.75/mo on average via ads, then a switch to paying $1/mo averages out to more revenue. That's how averages work.

And again, my conclusion was that paid doesn't actually beat free from the amoral business perspective, so all you're doing is agreeing with me while also trying to tell me I'm wrong (based on things nobody said).

That's a bit more than "a random dev".
This is the kind of company that Google has always been - eager to make money off you in dark alleyways and always eager to throw users to the piranhas when it's not worth their time anymore.

The end result is for want of a few engineers to maintain Google Reader or a few dollars of revenue left on the table for free G Suite users, Google's users don't trust the company farther they can throw it, which has led to hundreds of billions of dollars of lost enterprise value as products like Google Cloud just don't have the trust to compete with AWS and Azure.
Hey guys thanks so much for your response. I do believe 2 step was going but the hacker changed the details to his, wiped my phone and with it, my Google authenticator and presumably set it up on his phone! I'm completely locked from making any changes yet I can still see my emails and stuff but I can't change anything or verify myself. I did use the authenticator app plenty of times so I'm certain I had it set up. Although I'm starting to doubt myself now.... It's a nightmare!
can't resist, trying mine...

I do the same. One company that I was asking about parts availability told me to stop using their domain name in my email address as it was 'creepy'. I chuckled and moved on. At least there was a person in the loop.
This happened to me, I went through the google account recovery process and it was recovered. I was a victim of an on the air SIM jacking of my phone - which suddenly went dead. I had 2 factor enabled, but once the SIM was jacked they reset the account and used the phone to capture the code. My name is the same as an Ambassador - which I am not, I suspect that once they did not have a high profile Ambassadorial account they just ignored it as nothing was deleted (unless google recovery restored it to a prior state??)and after I went through the google account recovery process, google restored my account. After which I implemented a Fido token system. which you can buy. It works like this, but you better make sure you guard your token = lose it = screwed. https://fidoalliance.org/how-fido-works/
I also suggest you download your mail archive every month using the google download process.
Thats not entirely true. Microsoft is crazy on what it flags, and their AI straight just does "things". Their support has admitted as much when i had tickets open for months trying to white list basic GNU/Hurd list serves (that I didnt run).

Im sure just running Mail in a Box on linode would 100% flag it.

I KNOW google would because half the time i socks through one of my linodes (that i have used and owned the IP for years on) i get thrown through all sorts of captchas on services. INCLUDING signing into my own gsuite from it (despite an established history of just doing it).

Unfortunately the big players own mail, they do what they want. In fact having a domain registered with one will do better for your mail reputation than most would care to admit.

I think it's another instance of the Sam Vimes Theory of Economic Injustice.

Someone who can't afford a new car saves 30% by buying a decade old one. Except that old car is less efficient so they're buying 5-10% more for gas than if they had a new car. If you need a loan, interest rates are higher for used cars. The tires are crappy so they're spending $500 to replace them. The car has 100,000 miles on it so parts are worn down. Maybe you get really unlucky, and get in an accident that would've been prevented by a blind spot monitor or a backup camera. Maybe you get in an accident that would've happened regardless, but the older car doesn't prevent injuries that a newer model would've protected you from.

I spoke to Google on the phone and via chat, they said there is nothing they can do, except walk me through the restore process, which is impossible, as the hacker has the restore email and number. Google says only the account holder can make changes, yet I can't and someone else can. They have hung me out to dry!!!
> They are not holding these accounts hostage. You can export mail from Google. You can change your MX records to different servers.

There is sinking cost fallacy of setting up all of this through them. Like I have 100 domains that I've setup to be able to receive emails through Google. So much work + damage to fix everything. Will probably let it die.
