Why wouldn't they make it for external payload if they get the cost per kg lower than F9? Running starship only is going to be cheaper than running both rockets, except if the econ…

It's not a service shutting down though. It will still work fine for a while and it there is a critical security patch required, the community might still be able to add it.

It's a bit weird to present it as an alternative to S3 when it looks like a persistent cache or k/v store. A benchmark against Redis would have been nice for example. The benchmark…

Never said it was easy or desirable for most companies. But there is only so much a cloud provider can guarantee within a region or whatever unit of isolation they offer.

You are supposed to build multi regional services if you need higher resilience.

Don't you have user profiles in Pixels? I can create another user an switch. Just not super convient. Work profiles are actually pretty good good... For work.

There is way more Java and C++ than Go at Google.

You can do that for new binaries. For existing ones you can't really or you get in a worse place for a long time.

The main issues to me seem to be that the code was not gated by a flag when it was not ready to be used, thus skipping a lot of the testing / release qualification.

The issue was that a bug got triggered globally within a few seconds and all the things that led to that. The fact that is was a null pointer exception is almost irrelevant. If you…

For all practical purposes impossible at this scale. The issue is not really the bug tbh.

Probably C++ or java though.

What makes you think it was completely untested? The condition that triggered the null pointer exception was obviously not tested, but it doesn't mean it didn't have tests or even …

Good luck re-writing 25 years of C++ though.

Google will give them more money if they win the lawsuit.

Building a fab is pretty much impossible. You can give TSMC a ton of money to build more capacity, but so can everyone else in the space.

I've mostly had non-graded homework in my studies because cheating was always easy. In highschool they might have told your parents if you don't do homework. In university you do w…

One simple way is to keep only a few days / weeks of (immutable) keys backups. You can always stop the deletion of you have a big issue. If the law says you have 14 days to delete …

That's how GAFAMs size companies do it. They need to comply with European regulations for data deletion, and there are very few other options.

Was that an actual SVG?

It possible with crypto shredding. You store everything encrypted with one key by customer. When you want to delete you erase the key. The data becomes unusable everywhere (backups…

Loki was much cheaper to run in my experience, using S3 storage. And you could scale the parts you needed dynamically in K8s. Elastic was kind of a resource hog and much more expen…

Both models mentionned in the article are available, Gemini robotics for partners only, and Gemini robotics ER in private preview.

It can be very useful for grid stabilization at the scale of seconds to minutes (both with charge and discharge).You don't need that much capacity to do that.

They do have to be wide open and close pretty fast once the end on the booster had passed them.
