Gazprom directly funded the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Climate and Environmental Protection Foundation[1], for example. Here's an example from 2014 of Russia funding greens in the EU to undermine shale oil to maintain dependence on Russian gas[2]. It's also generally accepted that Russian interests funded the US green presidential candidate Jill Stein (though it's a little murky).

> to get cheap gas and have a channel of communication and common interests with the "enemy" open.

Yeas, I'm familiar with the legacy of Ostpolitik after the fall of the USSR and reunification.

> And back then having close ties to Russia was good idea actually

I'm specifically claiming that it probably was not a good idea in retrospect, and concerning what was known then about Putin.

> Also as a European, less reliance on the US is a good thing.

I can understand why you would feel that way and I have no love for KSA, but clearly reliance on Russia has been a mistake.

There's no way this actually gets built as it is designed.
I read the thread thanks, and am not the one claiming to have difficulty parsing the GP's argument. Also, I read the Politifact article in question, so I am not labouring under the delusion that the point of contention is whose dictionary should we use rather than is there any truth to video's sensational central claim 'The White House is now trying to protect Joe Biden by changing the definition of the word recession' which is a hard no, irrespective of whether you believe that the dictionary definition of successive quarters of negative growth is a more parsimonious definition than waiting for the NBER to call it.
Not related to Google at all, but I've been in Windows places with Sun, OS/2 and NeXT providing the data. Not a single install was newer than the 90s.

Consider this happened after 2011.

Having a few different Linux distros at Google, okay then.
I am aware and I have zero issues with that. Honestly until app is connected to some evolving API, probably it will work for many years before OS upgrade makes it non-functional. Lots of software I used 20 years ago still runs ok.
This reads as somewhat mean spirited, which I hope you didn’t intend. I thought his advice was supportive – they very clearly acknowledged not being a parent but then pointed out that there isn’t a clear cut productivity gap. That kind of reassurance seems useful since people can easily tell themselves they’re irrecoverably behind and worry far more than is helpful.
Fair enough. I think if done at the right scale it would cause an economic growth at grand scale. Forget pipes to cities, I am thinking artificial rivers and lakes.
Proof that software doesn't need to be "well-designed" or "clean", it needs to be functional. What you think of as "insane design" is actually just functional design (or polymorphism, depending).
Grand scheme of things... Wouldn't this hurt US based institutional investors more than Chinese investors and/or Alibaba itself?
Spend decades furthering their own geopolitical goals. Now it might be turn for someone else.
> Having never worked at a place the size of Google, I'm surprised that their IT team directly manages 100,000 machines. In my (apparently naive) mind, if you're smart enough to work at Google, you're smart enough to manage your own OS.

Smart isn't really a key point here. You can be smart and make choices that solve your immediate needs but may not be good for the company in the long run. The distro provides for some standardization and baseline in among other variance.

> Is it a security thing?

Yes, one of the forms of standardization are audit solutions that keep track of all kinds of data about the machines. In the time I worked there, I once received outreach because a service I had started on the machine had retained an outgoing port to a third party service provider for an extended period of time. I explained what it was, and I did not get in trouble, but I also shut it down. There are many other forms of audit systems.

> Are Googlers not allowed to directly control their own computers?

It depends on your role, but many roles have root on their machines. You can of course do just about anything from there, however some things may get undone by periodic scripts if they're defensive (e.g. removal of certain software), or in other cases trigger some kind of outreach as described above. For certain other policies, you may need to file a bug with a business justification to request specific policies - you can also do this for entire teams if it applies to their work.

Sometimes that change is more sudden than others. On September 28th, 2020 (the closest preceding archive) it was not yet offensive. On October 13th, she used "sexual preference" in her congressional hearing. The very next day, on October 14th (the 1st subsequent archive), Merriam-Webster already had the new, "offensive" definition in place.

The fluidity of language really is fascinating to behold.
Koyeb also moved off Kubernetes and went with Nomad. We started with Kubernetes, thinking it was the right abstraction layer for us to build our platform, but then quickly ran into major limitations. The big ones: as others have mentioned in this thread, its complexity; security (we wanted to explore using Firecracker on Kubernetes, but it was very experimental at that time); we were not interested in keeping up with its release cycles; global and multi-zone deployments was not as straightforward as we needed; and the overhead (10-25% of RAM) was a cost we were not willing to take (we are around 100MB with our new architecture).

Having an inbox does not mean using it or checking it regularly. Think of all the old people with tablets who don't even know what their email address is. Or folks like me who have several. What I'm saying is that "an email address exists, somebody must be checking it" is a flawed argument.

In fact, this article: https://phrasee.co/blog/a-brief-history-of-email/

says the following:

With over 2.6 billion active users and over 4.6 billion email accounts in operation, email is the most important and widely used communications medium on the internet.

Still, 2.6B is a lot. So there's that.
This was my question as well. The article does answer the question, but off the bat I'd assumed the author was talking about output/dist. The web treemap cli is a great tip.

Interesting. This basically implements a parallel algorithm for summation/counting, by calculating a partial sum in each slot, and then merging the results with every read. This approach could be applied more generally to values in a commutative monoid, and there are probably other parallel algorithms that could be implemented in a database a similar way.
Here’s for the contrarian advice.. Given the economic climate and the little work experience under your belt, I’d think very hard before taking the risk. Moving has a cost and you have no guarantee the new exciting job will last or work-out. If that happens, your resume will have taken an unnecessary hit very early in your career.

It is very easy to undervalue what you have now. You got plenty of time ahead of you to figure what you really want to do and plan how to get there.

I heard an interview with Steven Spielberg years ago. I wish I could find it for reference.
He said in the interview that anytime he drives in his car, he would not talk on his phone or listen to the radio. It was complete silence for the duration of the drive. And most of his best work and ideas came from these "silent drives" because he was forced to be creative and use his imagination to keep himself entertained.

> However, you are right that the Open Source Definition's "Free Redistribution" clause doesn't require an open source license to be a copyleft license.

This is misleading in a way that contributes to misunderstanding IMO. Copyleft means specifically preserving the same license when redistributing. OSI’s license might not be copyleft per se, but it does in fact limit what the redistribution license can do, and requires the source to stay “open”. Public domain does not require the redistribution license to remain open. OSI is very clear about this, contradicting @seba_dos1’s claim that public domain is OSI open source compatible. https://opensource.org/faq#permissive
I heard that Obamacare changed the way insurers are paid to more of a cost plus model. So they actually have an incentive to not push back against anything.

Don't know if that's true. But if it is, who is pushing back against treatments? Doctors? Insurance companies? Government? Parents?

> if you're smart enough to work at Google, you're smart enough to manage your own OS.

No disrespect to you but this is a really naive take on how IT management works.

For one thing, not everyone at Google is an OS expert. There are people working for Google in marketing, sales, support, data science, graphic design, hardware design, and other fields where you can't depend on every person to "do the right thing" when it comes to "managing their own OS."

And even if they can, is that where you want them spending their time? Manually managing their OS? Don't you want them to do the job they were hired to do instead? Their computer is a work tool, not tinkertown.

Basically, the opposite of what you're saying is true: because 100,000 people work at Google, each person represents another way to potentially mess something up and cause problems for the whole company.

Assign each employee with probabilities:

- Probability of falling for a phishing scam

- Probability of installing malware

- Probability of an employee missing an announcement regarding OS/security policy

- Probability of an employee opening a support ticket with IT

These probabilities are very low for people who are computer-savvy, educated, very highly qualified people. The thing is, all you have to do is multiply those probabilities by 100,000 and now you've got a big problem.

It's much easier to run with zero IT automation if you've only got 10 people in your company and they all know each other.

Agree - I like being able to just start putting the values in before I've figured out what needs calculated first. You can then shuffle them around and bring in value from further up the stack as they're needed, all while seeing intermediate results. That beats having to backtrack to add brackets, or saving to memory registers because your calculated value is the denominator or something.

One day I'll buy a macro/numpad with an LCD screen and run some kind of simple RPN for my desk.
But that would be a major challenge. Virtually all of the Asian continent save for Japan and Korea (who are reliant on the US for military purposes) in some way kept neutral and/or allied with Russia.
Intel and AMD don't make the whole widget. They want people to buy the components, so publicly 'supporting' multiple OSs makes sense. Apple on the other hand want people to buy and use Macs and macOS...
Since opening all these offices costs money, this means that the accounts can't be free anymore.

I suppose they could be subsidized by the state for low income people.

From what I gathered this is not about the San Joaquin Valley farms, it's about Vegas, Phoenix, Palm Springs & Desert Hot Springs (Riverside County) and water for people living there.

Vegas went from 230,000 in 1970 to over 2.5 million residents in those years.

Phoenix from 870,000 to 4,652,000.

Riverside County from 44,579 to 2,544,820

So now we've got over 10 Million people living in the desert in just 3 those areas.

Aside from that, I lived in Sylmar, Ca in the `70s on the last parcel of ag zoned land there, so yeah, we did grow there.

When we bought our place there was a small 2 bedroon home on it, an orchard of fruit trees, a large garden, and we raised chickens and rabbits and a few cows (one at a time) there.

Our home was the oldest house in Sylmar at the time and it was akin to an oasis compared to most of the homes there. Because of the ag zoning we had two water lines, one for the home and one for the orchard & garden and we got a huge discount on the ag water line.
It's not even a theory, just a suspicion based on how the 08 recession went down. Bush is about to leave office and Obama announced his candidacy and then you know the rest. What isn't a conspiracy is there are very few people who make markets and wield power greater than the treasury dept.

I mostly agree, but China already had received MFN status on a provisional basis in 1980 and was until ~1994 a net importer of American goods. The move towards adding the to the WTO was at the time considered the least bad option for how to proceed. No one anticipated Xi in 1990, but everyone knew and understood Putin by the time Nord Stream I was completed.
The last few presidents have said the same thing - here's Obama in 2014: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-eu-summit/obama-tells...

Trump also yanked the rug out from under the TPP which effectively locked in our manufacturing relationship with China, so glass houses and all that.
Hey, Ilia here :)

Not sure if the question is about the simulator Caladan, or about our autonomy core.

For Caladan, we don't support playback of data currently. Do you have a use-case need for this?

For the autonomy core, the localization, costmap generation, and path planner are all probabilistic to a more or less degree, so we can't guarantee determinism to any highly accurate degree. However, if the same data is played back over and over, the vehicle would react in basically the same way (perhaps not navigating to the exact same spot, but within a small tolerance). Same question here; what is your need/use case to have guaranteed determinism? Is it a safety question? (We can have a much longer chat there)
This.

The need for unbounded growth is not a valid justification for not acknowledging humans.

Now, I'm not sure what would be the solution. Regulation requiring some level of support? "Right to talk to a capable human" or somesuch? Sounds a bit arbitrary. In the meanwhile, I'm trying to un-Google myself and use more respectul alternatives, as well as raising awareness in my immediate circle.

If you're not able to do business at Google Scale without providing human support (and similarly, not treating support personnel like absolute garbage, as we see with call center operators for ISPs and whatnot), then maybe you just can't operate at that scale?

This goes even further: things like free-to-play games that use psychological manipulation to culture addictive personalities and whatnot seem ethically wrong to me. If your business model depends on absolutely fleecing vulnerable people, then maybe it shouldn't be viable?

I guess the base premise is I don't think companies should "have the right to make all the money in the world".

To be clear, I'm not advocating for the solution above, but I sure believe the problem described _is_ in fact legitimate within my morals.
