You must take into account attrition rate. Not every novice becomes a expert. Say in a given field, on average, each person spends 10% of their time as novice, and 90% as expert. If only one in ten novices actually grow into experts, in the overall population most man-hours are spent at beginner level. Novice teachers don't outnumber experiences ones, but students surely outnumber teachers, by a large margin. In a market that still didn't achieve steady state, like programming, some of the people that didn't made it through may end jumping ship to more beginner-friendly alternatives, that end with more people, more libraries, more learning resources, et cetera. Eventually the network effects will cause even the expert ponder over switching sides to get better libraries. Think how Python ate Perl lunch, despite the swiss-army chainsaw power of the later. Today there's probably much more Perl programmers than in the 90s, but yet we can't deny the language lost mindshare.

One of my high school teachers used an accumulating curve just for this reason - a number of pre-written tests were rotated out pretty randomly and your grade was scaled in relation to everyone who had ever taken the test. It did fail to account for anomalies like the teacher discussing a subject particularly poorly one year but it was pretty fair feeling.

Both. If I would travel back in time two years and tell myself the issues one of the armies were having in the battle at Ukraine, I wouldn't have assumed it was the Russians.

So it is both: Russians doing fat worse than expected and Ukrainians are doing much better than I feared they would do.
In a world where people leave every 1 - 2 years to stay current with the market, more often than not the failure will be related to what someone else did a long time ago.

> Google is holding all your old free G Suite accounts hostage

They are not holding these accounts hostage. You can export mail from Google. You can change your MX records to different servers.

I've been bit as much as anyone by Google killing products, but honestly, it's amazing they've kept this product free for so long. And in this case, the product isn't being killed; they've simply decided to start charging for it.
TBH I'm in the same position right now with a Chromebook. I keep getting prompted for an upgrade, which I accept, it spins for a while, then fails, then spins for another while rolling everything back. At least it does that, rather than leaving me with partly-updated, likely unusable device.
I moved my parents from win xp to ubuntu years ago... If I told them it was a new windows version, they'd belive me. Browser works, mail works, youtube works,... and they don't care about the rest.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but last time I checked I couldn't find any content blocker for MacOS Safari that would block pre-roll Youtube ads whereas uBlock Origin in Chrome, Firefox, etc. does not have this problem.
Effective Altruism is and will be more influential than you think
If you get used to it at a young age, it probably won't be the traumatic thing you describe. E.g. have Faraday cage test booths in schools starting as early as Grade 1.

Won't help much with recordings, of course, but that's more like a cheat sheet that's always on you; if you can succeed with it in a well-designed test environment, you can probably succeed with it in real life. At some point, if you're augmented, then memory is memory and there's no point in distinguishing between hardware and wetware.

I am a developer and use linux daily. I would love to hear what I should use instead of windows.

How was the hacker able to change OP’s phone number attached to the Google account?

Every time I commandeer a google account, its with the prior owner - usually in India - punching in the authentication number on the phone. (I get the 2 digit number on my screen and I tell them what it is, and they select the same number from a multiple choice selection on their phone)

Maybe this measure could be circumvented if remote desktopping into a computer nearby the prior owner’s postal code, and taking over the account from that computer, this is how some online credit card fraud passes scrutiny, because the hacker doesnt appear far from the location of other purchases.
Google doesn't operate "free services", they operate services in exchange for user data and advertising views.

A lot of the times it's a bait and switch. They give you a service in exchange for your data, then they pull the service away once they've got it.
Fair enough, I agree that it would be nice if YC were leading the way, as you say. And why hold YC’s feet to the fire more than any other? Okay, the massive social media site they put their name on. Maybe it’s my old-man cynicism, but I just don’t see that justifying an expectation that YC do better, just an explanation of why they should do better.

Anyway, not disagreeing, and thank you for the response explaining where you’re coming from.
Saab was very innovative decades ago, but under GM's ownership they became less desirable and competitive against a wider field of rivals.

Ultimately, it's my opinion that Saab couldn't find their segment to occupy where their cars were

Many of their cars sat on the market too long without being updated enough to compete, and their semi-luxury not-really-sporty market segment during the GM years made it a brand that I think was hard to recommend over alternatives.

Why buy a Saab for your luxury car if you could buy a BMW, Mercedes, or Audi instead?

Why buy a Saab for your reliable family hauler if you can buy an optioned out Honda Accord instead?

Why buy a Saab for your family SUV when the only one they ever offered was a rebadged Trailblazer?

It's really just my opinion, but I think the last decade of Saab just couldn't find its buyer.

So the last I heard about this, Google had relented to some extent and was going to offer some offramp for people who had data, purchases, etc. in an old free Apps for Domain/G Suite/Workspace account. They had a form you could submit to saying you wanted more information about those options. Has anyone heard any more on this front?

I don't mind paying someone else just to run email for my domain (or potentially even paying Google) but I'd like to offload my Android app purchases and all that kind of stuff I have on there.
Currently the only method we have that is effective is chemical scrubbing using monoethanolamine.
We've been going through facebook recovery, it requires pictures of ID. Same way you do any KYC. They still have access to the phone that was connected originally as well but the attacker put in a swedish or belgium number (it says 046 but google shows belgium flag).
But the sanctions, as they have been carried out were so organized and swift (badum-tiss) I don't actually believe the plans for this were not in some drawer and only had to be signed.
Sure they do. You can get a long term Windows version which receives only critical updates. Or you can get one of the multitudes of Linux distros.

We considered that model, but decided against mandatory participation in off-hours on-call. The off-hours rotation is voluntary and paid.

This is a trade-off in order to reduce the number of people who have to be on-call at a given time and maintain a voluntary model. Generally, though, the person on-call will be from a team that owns at least a portion of the services they’re on-call for, and the services are distributed among the two rotations thoughtfully.

As others have said, you can set up aliases / groups and those do not require additional accounts.

Also if you’re the only account then you can just configure a catch-all in the routing section so that anything@your domain goes to you. That’s no additional cost even on these basic accounts I believe.

I use this so I can also track by using a new address for each service (e.g. twitter@mydomain.com, ebay@mydomain.com, etc)

Semantically, "when" and "if" describe different modes of thought even in everyday English.

"When" usually describes an event that is likely to happen in some future time. "If" describes something that may or may not be true.

I think the fact that you already have the app installed is not a mitigating factor, it actually makes it worse: I can't uninstall Safari. They put it on my computer, I chose not to use it, and now they're specifically targeting other applications they want me to switch away from.

It's not only a new installation issue either; I've had this laptop for 7-8 months. It's only happened 4-5 times, and I assumed (without verifying) that I get it whenever Safari has updated. For what it's worth, I have turned off notifications from Safari; this is the OS itself saying "I see you're using another browser; have you thought about using ours instead?"

I used zoho for a few years in our org. We started on the free zoho plan then transitioned to paid. As we hired more, we got a lot of requests for people to switch to gsuite, and we finally did a few months ago. Now we have both side by side.

Main reasons people wanted gsuite

- gmail UI preference (Zoho webmail ui is feature-complete but clunky and slow)

- perceived email deliverability (people thought gsuite would be better for deliverability. We haven't seen much difference in reality though)

- preference for google drive + docs over zoho workdrive + docs. This is not just due to familiarity -- the features for google are smoother and more reliable. It seems fine to use zoho but when you are losing saved drafts or having to doubele-check the technology or don't know where thee buttons are for something, productivity losses add up over time

- frustratino with some of the other zoho services. Their Zoho One offers a ton of things to solve most product categories, but they're rarely best in class. More of a problem is that often simple things you would expect to work don't work. We struggled a lot with zoho desk for example because there is a years-old bug where they didn't implement the RFC for nonce's correctly, so we couldn't actually use it embedded in our website because of the CSP
You would need to have some skills for that. My grandma wouldn’t be able to do that and this change would disrupt her workflow. Not the end of the world, but this is user hostile change. I’m fine with removal of this engine for new installs, but pulling the rag under existing users is wrong. This anti-Russian madness gone completely out of control. I bet this change alone will drive a significant chunk of Russian Firefox users to Yandex Browser. Unlikely the intention of Firefox developers but here we go.
2FA is helpful, but you can usually call most service providers and get them to remove it. Often with totally inadequate security checks, like “what’s your phone number associated with the account, ok, great, I’ve removed the 2FA”. Can’t comment on Google, but I’ve had this with the British government, of all people.
There is the "trip" side affect which lasts about 30-45 minutes. Then there is some wobbly legs and slow speech for an hour or two after. I had no side-affects besides those.
Yeah, it probably won't work well on an old laptop with integrated graphics. I'm using using an ancient AMD Phenom 8 core with a Radeon 6900. I think both are close to a decade old now.
Probably the best use for a Touch Bar is scrubbing through Youtube ads.
So now our choices are: pay $6 per user per month for essentially what everyone gets for free, or our accounts, which are used for all kinds of free Google services, stop working.
>Without strict guarantees and control over the way this content is delivered to end user systems, how can we know that a similar type of attack could not happen? This time in a potentially administrative level file explorer?

“carbon suckers”: perhaps the fact that we don’t even have a popular phrase for the technology, let alone having built anything practical, will answer your question sufficiently.

Your not-so-authoritative citation suggests that "accident" should not be used as a general term, which I'm inclined to agree with, but it in absolutely no way suggests - as you do - that there is no such thing as an accident. Accidents do happen. Even a completely attentive and competent driver can fall prey to a mechanical failure, a rock falling in the roadway, etc. Saying that they must have been going "too fast for conditions" without any definition other than "the speed they were going when the collision occurred" is circular bullshit. As long as driving - including the driving done by others to support haughty "non drivers"' lifestyles - is necessary, there will be genuine accidents as well as collisions that are the result of recklessness or negligence.

The vast mass of humans who will be displaced by sea level rise will come from hot, humid regions of the world, primarily southeast Asia, https://www.climatecentral.org/news/report-flooded-future-gl...

Suggesting that people who are both biologically and culturally adapted to hot, equatorial climates migrate to Antarctica as a primary solution to this displacement strikes me as absurd.

Having said that, I think colonizing Antarctica will certainly be a thing, but mostly for resource extraction, not for habitation of tens of millions of displaced poor people.
