Highly misleading headline and article. The headline claims that all of GCP went down for 12h. The article claims that „an office in Frankfurt“ was unavailable. Both claims are wrong.

In reality, some services in the europe-west3-c zone experienced a 12h outage source.

That‘s cool and I respect that, more power to you!

I see you, hang in there buddy!

Yo this comment section is a dumpster fire 🔥

edit: Remember Russian propaganda’s goal is to sabotage free discussion and conversation. They achieve this by e.g. shitting in a comment section. That might explain what’s going on here. But then again, could just be the gang that hangs in c/Technology doing their thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

At the all-hands meeting, Garman said he’s been speaking with employees and “nine out of 10 people are actually quite excited by this change.”

Just imagine the conversation between the CEO of AWS and some random employee.

„What do you think about the return-to-office policy I propose, Cog #18574?“ „Great idea Mr. Garman sir, really smart move from your team. Incredible thinking and leadership from you Mr. Garman.“

continues to tell people that 9/10 employees he talks to are excited to return to office.

I hear the French have Durov by his balls, might be okayish for the Ukrainians to use Telegram.

Ya I dig it, too. Good stuff.

Carnegie chose to do good things with his money, as did Gates and Boros. Now, it’s easy to criticize all three of them for an arbitrary number of bad things they are responsible for. Which is entirely beside the point:

There is obviously a scale of good and bad things oligarchs decide to do with their money. Musk, Thiel, Sachs and the likes are on the “huge asshole” end of that scale. And other oligarchs are not. Assuming Gates was as bad as Musk because somereason fails to see this and ultimately leads to letting the true assholes off the hook.

They’re clearly not all on the same team. Some are decent human beings that choose to use their money for the betterment of humankind.

It’s just that a couple, e.g. Musk, Thiel, David Sachs and others, decided to be huge assholes. They would end democracy any day to become richer and more powerful.

I agree but isn’t the choice between “the terrible guys” and “the okayish guys”?

Seeing the first strike, I think there is just no way that hit did all the damage I saw in today’s pictures. Then the second one hits, and now the pictures make sense.

By strike three, it’s clear that I witness a full-blown massacre. Also, they always shoot an even number of missiles. Another bullseye - crazy crazy damage, jesus christ!!

Also, no novelty - strong reject, no revision possible 🙂‍↔️

While I agree with most points you make, I cannot see a machine that is, at a bare minimum, able to translate between arbitrary languages become irrelevant anytime in the foreseeable future.

I might be missing the point, but isn’t this a decently dumbed-down description of the difference between services that are end-to-end encrypted and those that are not?

Heh, I think you have a point. Funny this gets downvoted though.

I think they mean economic liberalism, not political liberalism, which is what you explain.

scary as hell

Sad how this comment gets downvoted, despite making a reasonable argument.

This comment section appears deeply partisan: If you say something along the lines of “Boo Google, AI is bad”, you get upvotes. And if you do not, you find yourself in the other camp. Which gets downvoted.

The actual quality of the comment, like this one, which states a clever observation, doesn’t seem to matter.

I dislike the entire article. Of course google search still works just fine. Claiming otherwise is only possible by magnifying a small, admittedly disfunctioning part of google search.

Probably the oligarchs, based in this law, can use their lawyers to sue the person who dares to do so publicly.
