This will have an interesting impact on people who are still convinced the world is flat. You will not be able to look down the hall from one end to the other.
Alphabet are known for not providing any guidance to the analysts so I would take that with a pinch of salt.

Consensus seems to be that the results could have been worse. Some signals that large advertisers are pulling spend in some areas. If that continues, you would expect Q3 earnings to be below the upward trajectory that Alphabet have enjoyed for years.
I been reading into that, willful patent infringement vs unintentional. I been trying my best to get into the "why your approach is different" bucket but there's so much reading to do in the first place that it still feels risky. The first thing I want to do is get patent infringement insurance but like the issue with getting a lawyer, costs. It's too much money to bootstrap, especially with the looming recession. There's so many people just building projects in Show HN, there must be an approach they're doing beyond just winging it and hoping a lawsuit doesn't land in their inbox.
Interesting read. I’m quite curious of where all the initial misperceptions about sockets comes from.

I can highly recommend Beej’s guide to network programming: https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

That together with Linux/BSD man pages should be everything needed, some great documentation there.
Yeah, but whoever's running the show for the past... 75 years, isn't antisemitic. His successors probably didn't align with such views, given that:

Now that is a shitty hosting company, since you told them what you were going to do in advance and wrote a bandwidth commitment into the sales order.
Why not allow access to safety systems? ICE vehicles have allowed for all kinds of modifications over the years that are unsafe and maybe illegal. Why take the user’s choice away now? Because of some bogeyman safety issues that might affect a dozen people who actually want to tweak things? It’s happening today anyways.

Not sure how that matters if Tesla installed a 60 badge at the factory and a customer replaced it with an aftermarket 90 badge.

I’m not saying Tesla are in the right overall, but the question of the badge appears to be one of misrepresentation by a previous owner.
That would be a surprise to the old people, who think anyone who disagrees with them is a developer shill.
If you're already using Clang (and thus LLVM & its platform constraints), I wonder if the best way would be to link in a tiny Rust / Zig `.o` using `include_bytes!` / `@embedFile`...
Neat. This looks like a good lightweight solution for your own lambda/edge worker clone. Built in multi-tenant is a nice touch.
There's a happy medium somewhere in between, I think. Like almost all non-Tesla EVs you could buy today. This whole idea of retroactive changes or subscription features is limited mostly to Tesla, with BMW dipping it's toes in the water. No need to go back to stone age car.
The article makes me wonder what the maximum range for a horse would be if carrying its own meals, never grazing, but drinking water along the way as needed.

That's a cool story. It sounds like something the marketing and sales departments should probably think pretty hard about. It's not an easy problem.

But a service with a cap also isn't unlimited.

Making a pricing structure which works for the company and is easy to understand for the customer isn't easy. Nobody said it was easy. But I don't understand how you go from that, to arguing in favor of lying to the customer.
I guess the difference is the size of entity you are breaking the terms and conditions with and the impact that breaking such terms and conditions will have on their business model.

Read the first paragraph. We don't know if those strategies will work; there are no data.
Here is a simpler and less prosaic perspective to you:

A spoiled young girl must enter as a slave worker in a bath/massage club to repay their parents debt. She must work hard doing difficult and dirt chores while trying to find a way out. He cleans the body of a client plagued from a nasty contamination, and as reward receives a small gift that could help her to be free.

Meanwhile, she treats nicely a shy client and allow him in the building. The client soon gets obsessed with the girl and starts spending a lot of gold to pass more and more time with her.

Yep, is a film for children.

When the rich weirdo realizes is being blocked and distracted by the greedy staff, he has a tantrum, turns in a violent monster and starts destroying the place and eating alive anybody that stands in the path to her.

The girl flees, but finally decides to return to help him, the monster is appeased, they travel together and the character is finally rehabilitated far away from the bathhouse.

After a last chore, finally the girl befriends the madamme and is allowed to go and quit the bathhouse in good terms, see their parents again and keep with their former life. She is ordered to never tell anybody, never look back and forget all about the sordid place. Happy end.

Moral of the history: the solution to child abuse is hide it, never tell to anybody and pretend that nothing happened.

Powerful message for children, yep.
Don't sites still use these emails to verify domain ownership?
The question is about outside perceptions about various companies. I agree that Walmart Labs has done some fairly cutting edge stuff.
It seems obvious to me that one thing the fed really strives for is to be predictable. They not only are very transparent in what their goals are, they are transparent about how they view those goals, how they think they'll change over time and how people dissent. So one really obvious reason to not do this is that you're massively going against the most important thing you're trying to acheive: preditabiity.

Why is this important? Because by being predictable, you can allow markets to price in your actions ahead of time and get a sense for whether your planned path is having the intended effect. It's a way of hacking the feedback loop.
Thank you for the notary idea! I been keeping everything in a paper notebook but never thought about having it notarized. Going to try and find free notary places near me or pay for it seems a quick search shows you can even get something notarized for as little as $25 online. Have to read more into that (how to properly write such notes/docs), thank you again.

This sounds like a redefining of AAA Games. When everyone's new at the gaming market - especially Sid Meiers and Will Wright were developing their early games, those were *absolutely* indie-tier.

> shutting down products applies to GCP services

they regularly deprecate old API versions in favour of new ones, which are not backwards compatible and usually more expensive

any time Google Cloud APIs change you have to update your code

and they break stuff, introduce bugs more often that you'd expect and prioritize new features over fixes (see bugtracker for confirmation)

this is why i'm never again touching GCP
Well, I guess there's one in every crowd.

But still, it's not like everyone in the line failed to consider queue jumping. It's an obvious strategy, they just forgo it for everyone's benefit. Hence the outrage.
That's the closest I've been able to come up with, but it does have the problem that anything local can typically connect to that tunnel. In the bastion situation we generally don't assume that the machine is not compromised. Otherwise why did we put it outside of the firewall?

To be fair, there are a number of ways a hostile endpoint can screw with another server even just by screwing around with TCP protocol behavior, so perhaps I'm putting too fine a point on it.
The point is that typically privacy-first VPN providers promise not to store your IP but have to store your payment details for practical reasons.

Yes, someone may have committed fraud. That has no bearing whatsoever on the basic problem here, however, which is a car manufacturer retroactively changing the configuration profile on a car sold nearly a decade ago.

I imagine non-core-product teams at Google are encouraged to submit purchase requests for any tools they think would improve their processes instead of being constrained to existing solutions. They also could just be showing it because someone with an @google.com has a paid account, but I don't know for sure :)
Protocol buffers have been public for 10+ years (since 2008 according to Wikipedia). Given the mobility between tech companies, it's hardly surprising that the same ideas / solutions are reused across companies.
If something runs software that either isn't air gapped, eg. cars, or that can recwived forced updates, e.g. OTA updates, obviously the person buying the device is not the owner. Legally for sure you are the owner, in oractical terms less so. And in case of cars, even if the embedded software is air-gaped, if you cannot choose your garage (liscensed garages may perform software uodates wothout you knowing) you kind of loose some "ownership" as well.
Can we have the title changed? "To ransom" means to free someone from captivity by paying their ransom. Tesla's not freeing anyone. I think the term the poster meant was "extorts".

Funny enough, that's much of the point of the game and what it talks about in the expansion, especially during the [spoilers] endings.
So much of many people's digital identity depends on Google/Apple (or FB/Twitter/etc). This is a huge dependency problem.

Clearly Google doesn't want to do support, but this seems like an opportunity to me. If they offer in-house (US based) support that can actually resolve the issue for a fee, they would improve countless users' lives. Actual support would be infinitely better than the current black hole of oblivion any time an automated processes flags something.

( I realize paying for support isn't popular, but it seems like the only way 1.) Google would care about helping you and 2.) reduce support ticket volume. )

Really huge companies can just name their product “Disney+” and break Google, and instead of never being discovered instead force the search engines to adapt.
Thanks for saying this, I tried writing the same but more briefly in a sibling comment, and... it wasn't well received. I suppose my wording seemed curt.

Google has a cash cow and isn't hungry. Their employees can half-arse the rest of their business and still be confident they'll get paid at the end of the week. Amazon's retail arm bled when AWS was started, and still bleeds. Success is a matter of urgency.
Very cool, you should add raft so every node could be the primary if the primary fails. You just need to add election and a few minor state things on top of what’s there already, I think.
You end up building just a bit of automation around it and its fine. The migration isn't any harder, you just run an ansible job or something to roll it out to all databases.

This isn't about selling customers what they need, then discovering new value through addon's though.

The article is quite clear that it is intentionally selling a customer less than what they need in order to get them to buy what they actually need later down the line, once they are already committed.

As a simple example, I could sell you a 3-year software license agreement with a 60 day estimated implementation program on a T&M basis. Then after you have signed the software agreement and are committed to licencing we go into blueprinting, I could suddenly say that it's actualy 120 days implementation now, and that will net the vendor an extra $90k revenue in Y1. Then after implementation you realise that you didn't buy the 'Bi-Connector' that was demo'd to you during the sales process because "oh that's actually another license" even though they clearly showed it as core functionality in their demo.

What nonsense. A 1gbps connection has a limit of traffic it can push in a month, that is the limit of their "unlimited" offer.

They are advertising that you can use 100% of your 1gbps link in a month then cutting TFA OP off at 80%.
It's pretty nice using RLS that the entire query will follow the rules applied in the database. So for complex queries with say joins and/or subqueries they will all automatically follow the RLS policies as well. In our case we also have some global lookup tables that don't have RLS policies which can also be joined.

We've found it pretty nice to cut out a whole class of possible bugs by being able to defer it to the database level. At the application level we end up with a wrapper that sets (and guarantees unsetting) multi-tenant access to the correct tenant, and then we never have to add "tenant_id = ..." anywhere, regardless of the query. Regardless of whether we forget in some query (which we almost surely would), it cuts out quite a bit of extra code.

You can also do some cool stuff like add RLS policies for read-only multi-tenant access. Then you can query data across multiple tenants while enforcing that nothing accidentally gets written.
The housing stock in New Zealand and prices for energy unless you're building a passive home from your own specs (which will cost 3-5x more than it would cost to build in EU or US due to materials and labour) will make New Zealand winters (a low of around 1-3C in most of the country) worse than what you experience anywhere else.

Most New Zealanders relied on wood fires until the 90s. Many still do. Most homes are drafty, which is okay during the summer - unbearable in the winter. New Zealand had to supplement older people and retiree heating costs during the winter, because too many old people were getting sick and dying.

Your income will be about half of what you make in the EU, and about a quarter what you'd make in the US. Your cost of living will be higher than both.

For OP, I'd recommend a cheaper part of Europe. You're still within flying distance from friends and family, but you can likely rent, buy or build property that fits your needs during the year.

The north part of Australia might be more suitable if that's something you don't care about - wages are stagnating in Australia, property prices are beginning to plateau (in some cases come down) - however materials and labour are still ridiculous right now.

Huh? Who prefers to stay longer in line?

With enough queue jumpers the line collapses into a crowd shouting for service - a crowd that is bigger than the line. Meaning the average service rate has fallen - that is, a less efficient system.

It's not strange to me. iOS is far more restrictive in the type of programs it allows you to run and distribute, whereas Android allows sideloading and rooting.

It's a variant of popper's paradox I suppose.

Capex spend is one area mentioned in the Investor Relations call - primarily new datacenters, office fitouts and server purchases.

Comparing q2 in 2021 and 2022 is difficult because the pandemic boosted revenues in 2021 but capex spend was delayed. And in 2022, some revenue didn't materialise due to uncertainty but investments for the future are being made.

As usual with alphabet, look at the mukti-year trend. And don't be surprised to see investment in bets that will pay off in 5+ years time.

Honestly, with no experience how would you even know what your dream job was? I had some clue how good I had it, but that was at a philosophical level ("I'm very fortunate to be here blah blah blah.") Once "it" was taken away, I started to understand at a more visceral level. And yet there are aspects that I only managed to unpack last year, which makes me wonder what I'll notice next year.

In more modern times, within the last couple months, there was the Epic/Unreal Engine Github Email Storm[0][1] at minium 60m emails, because a few hundred thousand people were getting over a hundred emails within a minute or so thanks to a user trying to get a minor patch pulled in so they could get some credit/resume line/who knows. They "@"tted the whole membership of the organization. There was a few repeats of the occurrence immediately afterwards as well by some trolls.

A fun aside is the article on wikipedia [1] begins with Jordan Hubbard and ends with Epic:

This always happens when there's a popular post about big tech on HN. Google is a big company with lots of employees and lots of investors and HN is no longer a tiny corner of the internet. Just ignore the astroturfing and look for the signal in the noise.
>iOS is far more restrictive in the type of programs it allows you to run and distribute, whereas Android allows sideloading and rooting.

True, although lately they've been under more regulatory scrutiny so I highly doubt something like this would get disallowed, especially if the equivalent app is allowed on Android.
> LiteFS is intended to provide easy, live, asychronous replication across ephemeral nodes in a cluster. This approach makes trade-offs as compared with simpler disaster recovery tools such as Litestream and more complex but strongly-consistent tools such as rqlite.

I definitely used to think TCP was more “high-level” than it actually is. Yes it does much more than UDP but still, its job is to get a sequence of bytes from A to B. You can tune it for higher throughput or more sensitive flow control but anything concerning message passing, request/response, … is beyond the scope of TCP.

Gitlab should just offer to cover moving expenses for employees 1 time per X years, then even the poorest-paid person working there would have that freedom (aside from any immigration concerns). I don't think it's in their best financial interests, but would cost maybe 10k at most and whatever the additional salary per year is and garner more support for their "local pay scale" strategy.
