respectfully, after knowing and working with many ex googlers; i don’t think google are the operators and cloud experts they once were and thought themselves to be.
When you focus on equity over equality everyone loses. There's a lot more minority groups in this country today. Why do african Americans get special treatment in 2023 over say ukrainians, afghanis or syrians?
There's a lot of poor and uneducated minority groups, but the idea that reverse racism solves anything is just outdated.
… but you have to ask - why can’t this person find a job? Surely not every employer is non-inclusive. There’s smells of a partial story all through this.
Honestly, while I believe a lot of the perspective shared, there always seems to be a huge lack of objective assessment of options for these folks.
In tech there are many incredibly high paying jobs - taking control over your situation has a low bar.
if you don’t like your manager, taking the view that if you escalate a formal complaint to HR (in doing so lose all trust you manager and HR may have in you), you’ll be vindicated and live on happily ever after… it’s a fairytale. Go work somewhere that makes you happy. Leave toxic environments - it’s not your job to fix them/right wrongs.
There are certainly real victims in these environments.
There are also in my personal experience a lot of people who make noise/complain about immaterial incidents in the hope of claiming some group control over their situation or with some sense of justice around fixing things. This thrashing can create a toxic environment for those around in itself.
As a trained pilot, flight planning is a huge part of your job.
Navigation is also a big part of the job. if you assumed you had to turn off parts of your nav equipment to avoid detection, then visual reference (ie flying the path to visually memorise/familirise yourself with wayppoints) would be something you'd certainly do - and a flightsim would be perfect for this.
Isn't the idea that you'd get paid for use of a LoRaWAN access point pretty much the same thing as money. Sure, earning HNT for mining/proof of coverage is nice, but I see the long term game is pretty much earning money (via crypto) for use of your home internet connection. Otherwise why the hell are you building a wireless network in the first place?
I'll be honest - i've worked places where kubernetes was a thing, and places where it wasn't. Both within the last 5 years.
Kubernetes is a layer of complexity that just isn't warranted for most companies. Hell even Amazon still sticks with VMs. Autoscaling and firecracker solve most things.
Its nice to have cluster (pod?) management as a first-class concept, but you get that with tagging of instances just as well for most use cases.
I’ve been sound a few and have seen the same. The wannabe politicians and “negotiators” that are attracted to these union roles are the bullies or powerbrokers from middle school who tend to love the power that comes from those roles. They’re also actively motivated to be at odds with the employer which tends to make them part of the problem not the solution.
I really don’t understand this push tbh. Amazon is already the industry leader in pay and benefits for these roles. Why was this needed?
In 2022, the only time I tend to see a union do anything, it’s to disrupt and create mob like holds on things (shipping, trucking etc). There seems to be waaay more corruption in anything union related than without.
Can someone seriously explain why this is needed or a good thing? Who actually wins in Amazons case outside of corrupt, power hungry union leaders who get to create roles for themselves?
My guess is that given Russias energy reserves (they won’t go away due to war) that there’d be a non zero number of people willing to buy the bounce on that at a minimum.
