Google isn’t really worried about password entropy beyond a reasonable amount. The primary threat model is phishing. This is why multifactor is so important and once once you have that enabled, nobody gives a shit if you even rotate your password. Just needs to be long enough and not guessable because it’s not the sole means of authentication.

Probably not a good idea to have something as critical as one’s primary email account identity tied to only a single factor of phishable credentials.

Requiring App passwords seems better, but it bypasses requiring a MF.

oAuth, while a a beast, seems even better as the workflow still initially requires a second factor.

A question I’ve always had is, assuming we do pick up very strong signatures or signals of life very far out, would it ever make sense (or, is it even possible) to create a ginormous optical telescope in space that could attempt to take pictures at a resolution that would be the next best thing to being there?

How big would it have to be in order to get a Google Earth resolution on a planet many light years away?

Yeah I've been using Linux exclusively for maybe 9 years and the only time I've ever seen a kernel panic was when I was messing around with Gentoo on a cheap machine I have just for that sort of screwing around, and I accidentally told it to literally overwrite the kernel. It got pretty far giving itself a lobotomy before it died, too.

Meanwhile, the last time I used Windows (in order to install Linux on a new laptop, lol), it blue screened four times just trying to mount a simple USB flash drive.

My 2 cents is that it's an easy way to describe/search the age and genders you want, without getting erroneous results.

So 2 younger people = bro/sis

An older man/younger woman would be Dad/daughter

A much older man/younger son would be granpda/grandson etc

It's hard to search "older man younger woman" because the adjectives will populate "younger man older women" too and skew search results.

Yea, Spark works best with "right-sized" files.

Let's suppose you have a data lake with 40,000 Parquet files. You need to list the files before you can read the data. This can take a few minutes. I've worked on data lakes that require file listing operations that run for hours. Key/value stores aren't good at listing files like Unix filesystems.

When Spark reads the 40,000 Parquet files it needs to figure out the schema. By default, it'll just grab the schema from one of the files and just assume that all the others have the same schema. This could be wrong.

You can set an option telling Spark to read the schemas of all 40,000 Parquet files and make sure they all have the same schema. That's expensive.

Or you can manually specify the schema, but that can be really tedious. What if the table has 200 columns.

The schema in the Parquet footer is perfect for a single file. I think storing the schema in the metadata is much better when data is spread across many Parquet files.
For a (relatively) fixed cost of manufacturing, it becomes an optimization problem with 2 variables: price and volume. Volume is inversely proportional to price, so price too high and you start losing profits due to low sales, but price too low and you don't make enough per unit.

Profit = Volume * (Price - Cost)
> Two teams agreeing on an API between themselves

I think that depends on the type of service that the team provides. If you have a central team that many other teams interact with, they risk becoming a bottleneck. They may not be interested in maintaining custom APIs for each team interaction and you will need to agree on a contract that all can live with.

Another risk is that the team providing the service also have their own backlog, including work they want to do themselves and requests from other teams. This can cause unwanted dependencies and delays where managers try to fight to be prioritized on the expense of others.

If the format is splittable you generally can get similar benefits, and parquet files have metadata to point a given reader at a specific chunk of the file that can be read independently. In the case of parquet the writer decides when to finish writing a block/RowGroup, so manually creating smaller files than that can increase parallelism. But you can only go so far as I'm pretty sure I've seen spark combine together very small files into a single threaded read task.

This argument is getting a bit tediuos. It started with you offering an opinion. I offered a counter-opinion, while clearly marking my opinion as such using language such as "I think ...", "I would say ...", "If I were to speculate ..."

I'm clearly not alone with my opinion (see original post), and you're trying to undermine your opponents' credibility by getting ad-hominem and pointing out that their position lacks the kind of research which you yourself did not provide either.

Heat transfer requires time, which is why I've always assumed that such a system would have to use coils somewhere.

> How big would it have to be in order to get a Google Earth resolution on a planet many light years away?

If you're ok to settle for a lower resolution, then a couple hundred astronomical units. Surprisingly, this may actually be feasible by using the sun as a gravitational lens. It would just take a lot of time to get the light collecting instrument in position at the focal point.

Edit: the Stanford press release says that without exploiting gravitational lensing, "we would need a telescope 20 times wider than the Earth".

The best way I've found to imagine a timing attack is as a set of graphs produced from thousands to millions of data points, each of which is a time measurement. Any given high-level input takes a certain amount of time to process (example: trying a login). Curves - and thus timing side channels - are distinguishable from one another when the curves have different peaks. The width of the (probably bell-shaped) curves are going to be determined by the amount of variance.

What happens if you add a little predictable random variance to each operation that's the same in each operation? Each curve probably gets a little wider, but you don't move their peaks relative to one another. At most, it might mean the person carrying out a timing attack needs to gather more data. Timing attacks already work with network noise implicitly doing what you've suggested doing explicitly.

You can simulate this yourself. Graph a thousand points of [0-1] and another thousand points of [0-1]+0.1. Superimpose the curves on one another. You may have to use some bucketing to make the curves visible.

I worked at Google from the early(-ish) days up till 2019. My hot take is that the employees broke the social contract first. Sundar "MBA" Pichai is not the cause, he's the effect.

The truth is, the early Google would have had no patience for the "problems" Googlers cared about between 2014 and 2020. The levels of internal hubris and employee activism about every random topic were insane. People cared more about cafe menus and banning words like "deficient" and "all hands" than doing things users cared about. They cared more about working three days a week than delivering a project. And they still expected to be paid top 5% of the market and to get pats on the back for being amazing and oh-so-smart.

By the time I left, it was normal to see a team of 10 people taking a year to deliver something that would've taken me a month on my own in 2012. Something had to give. It's justified to give employees rock star treatment when they are actually 5-10x more productive than their peers at Microsoft. When they're less productive, you have to ask yourself "am I being taken for a ride?"

I think it's not unlikely that Sundar's mission statement from the founders was explicitly to get rid of this culture. It's clear he doesn't want or know how to turn the current Google into the innovative, bright eyed tech company it used to be. So the next best thing is to turn it into Oracle.

But the Google of ~2015 deserved to die.
