Unless something big changed since I left two years ago, the org chart is totally visible to the entire company, and so are levels except when someone explicitly opts out (most do …

Are you knocking the knockers? No one is suggesting they be arrested. They're just being ridiculed.

Pretty uncommon at tech companies, but it's entirely based on the company's policy. The company can fire you at any time (as long as it's not one of several specific bad reasons li…

My former boss too! That message was sort of the beginning of the end for the trust I had. Very disappointing.

Yeah but it's a lot easier to not care.

What I tried, in a similar situation, was being clear that I did not support the company or its leadership and for them to never contact me again. It worked.

She didn't.

eh?

Pretty low chance that the status page is automated, especially via health checks. I imagine it's a static asset updated by hand.

Little known fact: "Bob Dole has died" were his last words.

It's GCS.

When we designed the security model for Google Cloud Build (I do not work there anymore), we decided that containers were not valid security barriers. So, all partitioning was done…

I don't think "this is a dangerous idea because people might need it to function" is a great take.

Last I checked, which was not recent, it was hosted out of an S3 bucket.

Google uses map reduce extensively... where it's appropriate. True time helps with things like spanner transactions. It's just a totally different use case.

Well.... bye!

I measure distances in the time it takes light to traverse them, don't you?

The host can put their CDN inside the operator's network. And, generally, a centrally operated CDN can be smarter than p2p.

Hmm cloud build spoofs it :) if the customer build accessed the underlying VM's metadata it would be very confusing (though not a security issue). It was not straightforward. I lea…

Ok, now I understand that survivor bias meme.

A self-made mining billionaire? Indeed that is fascinating. He must have been working really hard down in those mines to make that much without any help.

"this context" is using a map from the beginning and not having that slice.

With big python projects it's often difficult to figure out what code is going to be executed next due to inheritance and mix-ins. With Go, it's usually pretty straightforward. Yes…

The limit there is likely that no one has figured out how to make an annual fruit or nut tree.

How close are we to a black hole?
