Delitio> If you are only allowed to store data for x month that's it.

Exactly. I'm not aware of any laws saying "you must delete this data immediately". More like "within X days or months". The permanently delete thing presumably skips some cooling-off period in the online database but not the backup, which seems perfectly appropriate, provided your backup retention is compliant.

Google has a nice page describing out their deletion process. [1] It doesn't go into product-specific technical details/steps (like marked as deleted within the product, row deleted from Bigtable/Spanner, major compaction guaranteed to happen, backups guaranteed to be deleted or unusable) but it says this:

Google> We then begin a process designed to safely and completely delete the data from our storage systems. Safe deletion is important to protect our users and customers from accidental data loss. Complete deletion of data from our servers is equally important for users’ peace of mind. This process generally takes around 2 months from the time of deletion. This often includes up to a month-long recovery period in case the data was removed unintentionally.

This is a best practice.

Delitio> It's your job to use technics which allow you to do this like using encryption on your backup and deleting the keys for it, for example.

If they'd thrown away the encryption key immediately, this would have been much worse. Instead of "we're down for 2 weeks?!?" (already quite bad) it'd be "our data is gone forever?!?". You never want to delete anything too quickly for exactly this reason.

Pick any ten presidential biographies and I bet you eight of them have some passage about "my wife cared a lot about <household standard of cleanliness/orderliness/presentation thing> but I thought it was excessive"

An accidental experiment that saved 700 lives
I think the same thing applies to some biomarkers; cholesterol, for one.

Cholesterol is an accepted biomarker for stroke & heart disease. Thus, Big Pharma can "prove" that lowering your cholesterol by M is worth N.n years on your life. Therefore, take our statins. Daily. Forever.

I'm not buying it. That's optimizing the measure. "Exercise more & lose weight" is thought impossible for the average person, or at least, unlikely to be heeded, so give them a statin instead.
Long-term sharing breaks down when one person feels they are contributing more than another. For low-price household items like toilet paper, soap, etc, and common kitchen items like olive oil, flour, etc, we all still pitch in to a fixed "house fund" since it takes more time to split it evenly. But for everyday quantity-based items, it has helped us all stop over-purchasing and throwing out as much fresh produce, and any roommate can opt-in to share as much/as little as they want.

This position makes no sense unless one or more of the following are true:

1. You lucked your way into a role that you're completely unqualified for

2. Your employer will use this information to expedite the process of termination (that began prior)

Unless you're in big tech, your employer will beg you to stay if you mention interviewing elsewhere. And if do have a name brand on your resume it will magically float to the top of the list.

I'm a so called "scientific" programmer, meaning that I use programming as a problem solving tool, and not to create software for others to use. Programming is a lot easier when you're the only user. Here are some items:

* A ransomware detector based on accessing my home network file server via an all-Linux chain that stores file hashes and watches for changes.

* Converting PayPal transaction history from PDF to the numbers needed for my tax return, and some similar tax related scripts.

* Anything involving measurement or data logging, such as temperature, etc. During one episode, I sorted out whether my home furnace was operating intermittently.

I won't count hobby related stuff, which is innumerable.

It's probably more available in California, but I'd also say that there's a lot of bread of that shape that isn't "artisan bread".

If it's baked by a local, skilled person (an artiasan!) and delivered early in the morning, I'd call that artisan bread.

But I think a lot of supermarket bread is basically baked in a big facility mostly by machines. I don't know the details but I think they have to make the ingredients more homogeneous for this to work. And if it's not delivered the same day, they will need to put preservatives in it.

IMO the difference is like night and day. My dad is the kind of person who swears by everything Costco, but even he likes the fresh artisan bread.
I think the most valuable thing a critic brings to the table is a wide breadth of experiences to compare new experiences to - you're watching all the crappy movies to pick out the good ones to recommend so that people don't waste their time on something flat.

To note, solving that perception thing unilaterally more often than not means leaving the couple

The article touches on this, and many comments too, but even IRL talking to divorced parents, “X just didn’t give a shit about us” is a pretty common thing to hear as the core reason they chose to make it end, even considering all the consequences including the kids.
You realise how backwards this sounds in a conversation with a normal person?

Imagine if you met someone for the first time with the opening line of, "if you try and steal my property I will burn it".

Politically speaking, China's way of taking tech is by buying the talent (people) and having them take a lot of the intellectual property of their former employer to their state sponsored tech companies.

This rhetoric of 'invading Taiwan' and that "Taiwan should scorch their country so China can't have it" is exactly how a military person with childish thinking would stand up to a bully.

My guns are bigger than yours. I'm not afraid of blowing up everything just so you can't have it. The list goes on and if you're open to destroying the world for your own political beliefs you should really think about ramifications for future generations.

The Russians right now are leaving land mines all around Kiev as they retreat. Imagine being so much of a piece of shit you think this is a good tactical move.

Again, "if I can't have it you can't either."

Thanks for perpetuating this thinking.

Reformed salesperson here: bullshit.

Atlassian famously eschews the exact sales teams whose job it would be to manage direct customer comms in an outage like this one, and to be the lightning rod for the understandable customer frustration. In the past, I've been the guy that gets the angry text message from the customer and has to carefully paper over the gaps in communication from higher ups. It's not fun being the neck that gets choked.

The complete lack of meaningful communication for so long indicates to me that Atlassian doesn't have a meaningful feedback mechanism from the field back up to the executive suite - the exact feedback mechanism that Sales and Sales Engineering teams fill in most SaaS orgs. Customer Success should fill that role, but IME don't have the same incentives, pressure or influence as sales teams watching half their yearly comp go down the pipes.

If you have some recruiters that you've worked with in the past and cultivated a good relationship with them, then it makes entire experience a lot more streamlined. My last three jobs in the industry all I've done is literally flip a switch on my LinkedIn to "looking for work" and then notified my recruiters. They lined up some interviews - I picked the ones that I liked, finished the interviews and had offers from several companies within a few weeks. No grinding at all.
Take a look at the first few pages of top posts of all time on r/jobs[1].

They are filled with threads bemoaning how awful work is these days and how hard it is to find a job.

Some sample thread titles:

"A 9-5 job that pays a living is now a luxury"[2]

"America is not lacking in skilled employees, America is lacking in companies willing to hire and train people in entry level roles"[3]

"3 to 5 years is NOT entry level"[4]

"Employers this is why you aren't getting any employees."[5]

"Job Hunting again, and it sucks. Please have all Certifications, a degree in at least 3 fields, and 20 years for this internship"[6]

And many, many more threads along those lines.

Whether or not these complaints reflect the reality of the job marketplace as a whole, it's clear that a lot of people are super frustrated and dejected, and it's not surprising to me in the least that some (many?) would give up altogether.

Some people who work in tech and rolling in dough are completely out of touch with how tough it is for millions of people outside of tech and some other very in-demand fields.

That's not to mention depression and burnout, which even those in in-demand fields are not immune to.

> "Oh, don't worry about it then, we just won't be first to market."

Supposedly there's a thing called "first-mover advantage". Making the deadline would get them $XXX, and missing it only gets $XX but is still worth doing.

There's a way to map an additional X% chance of making the deadline to being worth some dollar amount of extra effort. Ideally done with full knowledge that it is somewhat of a gamble, and that the dev team don't need to catch any frustration if it doesn't work out.

> "Looks like we won't be using that system anymore, so we can sunset the replacement."

Makes sense to be. Replacing the system would have benefits worth an estimated $X/year, but it takes long enough that the world changed under you and it no longer matters.
Those are the only three instances where sanctions were used "ever in human history"?
The MIRI cryocooler technology is one of the most interesting advances I've ever heard of. My understanding is that it doesn't require any moving coolant, and it does so by creating a "standing wave" of sorts in the heat transfer chamber, and the heat is removed from the areas of high pressure. Heat continually accumulates to where the "peaks" of pressure are, where it can be transferred away to other parts of the spacecraft to be radiated away into space

If it were guaranteed it would be a contract, not an act of love.

As others have said in other comments here, "you can't keep score". I'm still working on making sense of this too.
That's true but it was stored there with your explicit consent. The GDPR is first and foremost concerned with data that is stored about you without your consent or with data that continues to be stored about you after your explicit request for deletion. Or incorrect data that you have requested to be removed. See the wikipedia page on the GDPR or a bunch of articles that I wrote about this subject.

If they had obtained the data without you supplying it freely then that would have been an entirely different matter, especially if it was used in ways that you did not consent to. But since that does not appear to be the case here the GDPR applies like it does to all data that is directly related to a data subject but continuing to store it on behalf of the user(s) that supplied it is not a problem.

Note that the user here is disappointed that their data which they consented to be kept is no longer there. This is a pretty clear indication that as far as they are concerned their expectation was the even with the GDPR up and running that such data would continue to be preserved as it is in almost every service that existed prior to may 2018.

It is precisely this kind of panicky thinking around the whole subject of the GDPR that gives these irrational responses, companies that suddenly no longer dare to mail you but you have to log in to their portal, which is secured by your email address and more of these totally weird constructs.

If they wanted to delete this data the better way would have been to positively contact the user (so that you know that they have received your message) to ask if their data should be deleted or not. That's good stewardship, just tossing it isn't.
I don't feel like ranking results according to a query makes a lot of sense nowadays. Google works pretty well that it is almost always able to give you results that are relevant to your query.

But where Google fails and other search engine is to show results that are relevant to the user.

As some comments have said here for the query "python throw exception" some people want to get the official python doc when others want a snippet and when other want a tutorial, and some want other things. The fact that there is only one first result and it is the same for everyone IS the issue.

In my personal experience Google works very well for code queries much better than any queries on SEO topics
Just because it wasn’t mentioned in the OP’s “Take a break” part, if you’re in the US and plan to take time off, definitely consider giving notice at a time that will carry your employment into the start of the following month. You’ll usually be able to keep your insurance for the entirety of the month instead of having to potentially go uninsured or pay full price on COBRA.

Well any area is enough area for solar power, you just don't get much out of it. I think for a car I remember some calculation at some point was that if you covered the whole thing in panels and let it soak in the sun for a day you'd get a few miles of driving out of it.

Having more efficient cells would give you a few more miles I presume. Not too useful for the everyday user, but if you're doing an off grid trip it would be very useful if you camp somewhere and let your car charge for a few days. I guess might as well roll out some proper panels in that case though.

Planes do have a reasonably large wing surface area that could be panelled up if they're not too heavy (you can make quite large RC planes fly perpetually in the sun even with regular monocrystalline panels) so there would definitely be some fuel savings from it if you had like a hydrogen powered jet that already uses electric propulsion.

Look up Corey Wayne on YouTube. He explains this in his relationship videos. At the end of the day, it’s the man’s responsibility to take care of these things, and no amount of busyness is a justifiable excuse. One of my favorite quotes that my friend said to me last year is: “as a man, you have no excuses.”

It may seem unfair, but that’s the masculine responsibility. To run a tight ship and keep things orderly, regardless of what may be happening outside of the house.
Sometimes I use passages from books. Easy to remember a >60 char password, can always check the book and it brings back to memory a book that I enjoyed each time I use it. For PINs I like to use a long sequence of digits of a physical/mathematical constant.
Yah, this might be the most succinct summary of I've seen so far of the entire argument too. And I might add, there isn't really a solution to that entitled attitude as long as it exists. The desired outcome, of the other partner trying to meet the expectations long term is likely just going to create resentment, or vise versa when the they don't try. So your right, if you can't match expectations its going to be a lose-lose scenario if people aren't willing to do the work themselves.
> Isn't it common knowledge by now that cameras and microphones are still "on"

No. Can you provide evidence.

Because that would imply that applications are routinely bypassing OS security controls. Which at least on a Mac requires a sophisticated compromise i.e. the camera light is directly linked to the camera itself via an independent subsystem.
