This doesn't really matter to Google; they offer uniform service regardless of means. Maybe if you're a big advertiser it helps; but as a paid GSuite customer, I got no real help when I asked either --- yes, someone answered the phone, but they can't even put in a feature request; and when my employer was acquired and wanted to integrate the two GSuites, that's not possible either; my employer had a small number of accounts so sure, ignore them, but the acquirer is large enough that I would have expected support requests to result in at least a roadmap entry.

The only reliable way to get support from Google is to have an employee champion your issue.

I've never had a bad customer service experience with a phone company, cable company, etc. I believe others have, but I'd rather take my chances not being an outlier customer service anecdote with them than rely on Google where customer service isn't an option period.
With any regulation there are pro/cons. You've highlighted a con but there are significant pros to overcome.

I grew up in a pre internet world. We had "negative effects being left out of a social circles" then too. Social circles being hard is not going away regardless of how this decision lands.
Maybe not but I bet that this many unique credit card emails eventually tripped over some threshold in a risk model. It’s too hard to adjust the model for one person, and putting in an exception for this one person means they take on additional risk if that person then goes on to actually do bad things.

To be clear I’m not saying it’s ok. Google should make it right and then invest in a scalable way to not keep doing this.

That doesn't really work because marine life is good at filtering and concentrating a subset of the elements that are in spent nuclear fuel. There are already ocean fish that are too poisonous too safely eat because of (coal-emitted) mercury pollution—and that's only 100,000 tons of mercury, total, in the history of human industry [0]. If you dig in to the hard numbers surrounding spent fuel, it's a much, much more toxic and difficult problem than mercury—diluting it in the oceans is a complete non-starter.

There's a huge difference in what GDC-Airgapped runs on and what is actually running in GCP.

Airgapped is based on top of Kubernetes, and it's using mostly off the shelf components for networking and compute.

GCP is based on top of Borg, using custom networking and computer hardware (though manufacturers by a partner). As a note, not only is access without a support token alertable (goes to your skip level), there's a distinct level of "I'm not even going to build the tool to enable this". Which makes being in support a b**.

If you want access to something, it's significantly easier to just ask the customer to do it themselves.

I understand the philosophy of where you're coming from, but I think it is blind to an important dynamic. This isn't just a matter of freely choosing to depend on someone else's service, take-it-or-leave-it. We live in a world of two-sided markets, where the mere existence of a popular service starts to reshape the world, altering the choices available to you.

In 1999, you could freely choose not to have a cellphone, because payphones were abundant. As cellphones became more popular, payphones disappeared; meanwhile, other services such as banks began to require you to have a number that could receive SMS messages. As smartphones reached mass adoption, it became a safe assumption that most people could access an android or iphone app, and support for other paths (such as a web browser) began to decrease, even for essential services.

I can freely choose to watch videos on YouTube or not, and freely refuse to do so if I don't like it. But I also realize that by YouTube merely existing and being popular, it creates a gravity well. Creators stay on YouTube because their audiences are there, and viewers stay there because the channels they follow are there. By merely existing, the oxygen available to other potential services that I could freely choose is reduced.

I can choose not to drive a car, but the choice of many other people to drive cars results in roads, services, and cities designed to meet their needs, rather than mine. This reduces my freedom to opt out of car ownership. And if McDonalds didn't offer a car-only 24-hour drive-thru, there would be unmet demand by hungry people late at night that might provide enough business for another company to open a 24-hour cafe. As it is, McDonalds services enough of that demand, and if the non-drivers have no midnight food options, it's their fault for being too small of a market to be worthwhile.

The dynamics of these gravity wells is important to acknowledge, and I think it does create a responsibility on the operators of these services to their customers beyond that of someone freely using their service by uncompelled choice. Because they are, to some degree compelled, and the compulsion comes from the existence of that service removing oxygen from the competitors that would have otherwise appeared to meet those needs. The model of "I'm voluntarily offering you a service that you otherwise wouldn't have had; it's my right to simply choose to stop offering it to you" is too simple.

(Edit: But practically speaking, I do think what you say is good advice and I don't disagree with it. I'm only objecting to the moral philosophy behind it. Kind of like I agree that pedestrians should wear bright clothing and reflective stripes to avoid getting hit by cars at night, even though it's the drivers' moral responsibility to not hit those pedestrians).
Not when you have work backing up and no one in the building qualified to train them. We outsourced a bunch of work to outside shops to make deadlines but it's so much harder. The machinist might have to work with the engineer on issues and have access to resources that are local to our building. And some of the outside shops are even questionable - A machinist once asked me how I arrived at the dimensions of an o-ring groove because he forgot basic math. Now a tool that can be made same day turns into a week long process.

Sad part is we had a young guy here in his 20's who was a real crackerjack: machinist, knew basic electric, could use a computer and was even picking up programming. He had a kid, found a good paying government job then up and left. I'd call him a unicorn.

No, free speech is when everyone in the same room has the same right to speak.

Democrats don't say or do anything other than call Trump Hitler and Republicans Nazis and Americans either deplorables or garbage. I don't have time to waste on that nonsense.

Then don't. Because it really doesn't have any substance or significance. At all.

The thing is, you're reacting to these signals as extremely overblown caricatures, as being way, way bigger than they actually are, as if they're hugely important and should somehow factor into the decision of what party you should support.

First, as for saying Trump is Hitler, or Republicans are Nazis -- while I'm sure that happens on some dark corners of Reddit (which has no relevance to anything, and isn't worth a second of your time anyway) -- mainstream Democrats (meaning the ones actually running or office) do not, and you simply will not be able to find any instances of them doing so. Yet, in your universe, it seems a huge, huge thing that you apparently think happens all the time.

As for Biden's remark -- it was obviously stupid, but the guy is just as obviously in the early stages of clinical dementia. I've had people in those phases in my family as well, and it breaks my heart to think of some of the things they said in their final years -- but that was the disease talking, not them. Seriously, when you hear that news item, your gut reaction should have been to have some empathy with the guy. And not to think of what he said as having any kind of significance at all in terms of your future or the direction of the country.

Just another instance:

The southern border is non-existent

Of course it isn't -- that's just an emotional distortion, and a rather extreme one at that, completely disconnected from reality. It's simply an empty catchphrase, that some politician (or some other random pundit) whipped up to make you afraid, and angry.

And yet it's the very first item on the top of your agenda.

- Can you give me more info about the strong consistency and delayed data, so I can better picture it with a few examples?

- Also, is it possible to do the sync with the columnar data in "more-or-less real-time" (eg do a NOTIFY on a new write in my IoT events table, and push in the storage?)

- Would your system also be suited for a kind of "audit-log" data? Eg. if I want to have some kind of audit-table of all the changes in my database, but only want to keep a few weeks worth at hand, and then push the rest on S3, or it doesn't make much sense with that kind of data?
What destroyed Google+? Curious.
Why do people want tabs anyway? It's kind of clunky compared to just having smaller individual file explorer windows. Like you can't _really_ drag and drop files between tabs without the added time overhead of waiting for the tab to change.

I assume most users are just full screen, list view-ing it though instead of the large icon view.

I feel the same way about Blogger, and I even had a page on Blogger that was banned after I signed in on their Android app. This was around 2020-2021 and I only requested a manual approval by an email button IIRC, that got that page back up as fast as it got taken down.

It is sad that Google Voice and Blogger are neglected enough for this to happen.
There might be an argument that the morally optimal thing for Israel to do is just tolerate terrorism, including tens of thousands of rockets from Gaza, with no response other than trying to mitigate damage with air defense.

It's not realistic at all though. No country with the means to respond militarily would decline to do so. And no army in the world has ever disengaged from a conflict once casualties became asymmetric. If the allies did that in WW2, Europe would look very different today.

The most one can reasonably expect is general adherence to international laws, which includes the principle of proportionality. Even that occasionally becomes impractical, for example since Hezbollah disregarded UNSC 1701 and noone enforced it against them, it's not realistic to expect Israel to strictly comply with it.

oh please... identity politics helped lose this election for the Dems bigly. Let's not bring it here.

There are a plethora of reasons she's unpopular, she can's string two coherent sentences together without a teleprompter, she cackles at inappropriate times, she won't talk to anyone off the cuff, she doesn't give straight answers on policy questions thus the word salad meme, she fumbles critical questions like what would you do different in the last 3 years, what a terrible answer...
One of my radicalizing events was in 2016, when I was a delegate for Bernie at the Colorado caucus. (I can't recall exactly what level, but there were probably 200 people in the room.

The Hillary folks controlled the stage and completely ignored the Bernie crowd's calls of "point of order!", throwing out the rules to rush through their agenda despite the wishes of (more than?) half the crowd.

I know Bernie has a lot of detractors, and the calls of "socialist!" scare a lot of people off. But still, the process should have happened. I still think he had a real shot of winning 2016, because people were ready to overturn the system and the Dems establishment didn't see it. So instead many people who wanted that revolution turned to the other person who promised to burn it all down. Maybe I'm libbing out, but _I want to believe_.

I got incredibly ill for days after that experience, likely from the fact that there were a lot of folks yelling and sharing germs in a closed room, but also from the sheer stress of seeing the establishment flagrantly violate Robert's Rules when it served them, and state it as law when that served them instead.

I'm still mad. Thanks for sharing your experience.

> They also have a state owned bank. ND once had a very strong "Democratic Farmer Labor party". Not to get into R vs D here, as the parties have flip flopped a lot since then & the Limbaugh movement changed the state from a very purple state (all Congress members were D in the 80s-90s). The only way you win in the state now is with a R next to your name, so the Rs are having an identity crisis.

Minnesota had the DFL. North Dakota had the NPL.

Yeah, I think the intrusion of national political culture has been pretty toxic everywhere. IIRC, Heitkamp, the last ND Democrat, lost (or at least had some trouble), because she had to hem and haw on abortion to appease her out-of-state donors and could not adapt to local circumstances. Didn't really follow that election too closely, so I don't really know what else was going on.
This is a good essay despite the fact that it has literally nothing to do with anarchism. It's a great look into what the sausage is like when you're on the bottom rung of the organized political process and how messy and frustrating everything really is.

Yes, I just wanted to highlight that the focus on fixing this vulnerability should not have anything to do with Google, but rather elected leaders doing their job to protect everyone in society. Similar to blaming banks for closing accounts for seemingly no reason.
It's even simpler than that: people saw that the economy was good for a large part of Trump's presidency and it was in a bumpy state during Biden's presidency.

They aren't intelligent enough to realize that correlation != causation. Add to that the whole "Trump is rich and a businessman so he must know what he's doing in terms of financials".

There are multiple financial organisations that did deep calculation on both candidates their policy and Harris' policies were going to be invariably better for the economy, even for the lower working class. But people won't listen to that, they'll just go by gut feel.

Its the logical conclusion to the distrust in the academic & political class that has been building since the early 2010s. Not only in America, in Europe too. A big part of it is that for the first time since the late 80s, many aspects of life are stagnating or declining in the West. So why would people vote for the status quo parties?

Especially for Democrats / left parties in Europe, Maslow's hierarchy of needs works into it: why would you vote for a party that gives laughable DEI issues (blacklist/whitelist > blocklist/allowlist) equal amounts of ink as "let's make sure people can pay their rent."

Sadly the only solution is to care harder, even if it feels horrible to continuously be the bigger man. If you let the bottom part of the electorate wither, they'll drag on us like an anchor and make us all drown.
Twitter for Enterprises?
TLDR: remove middle managers and enable more throughput

Problem
The problem is that organisation is pre-social media era, where communication had to flow through people. People effectively filtered out, summarised and transferred information for one level of corporate structure to another. This tends to create organisations where information flows very slowly and creates a very obfuscated org.

Suggestion
A Twitter-like internal communication tool which facilitates low latency and low loss discussions.

Concerns
1. Why there exists no tool like this in corporate? Slack does not cut it because communications done in internals threads are not ranked and are not visible across the entire org.

2. The inertia of adoption by these middle managers who effectively bloat up the orgs and ensure no effective work gets done. Orgs where stuff gets done will succeed without this tool or would have built an communication channel harbouring along these principles.
