All I'm saying is it would be better if you knew what you were talking about. AMD has been outsourcing verification to its customers for many years.

For datacenter operators there is no difference between "performance is so crippled that the TCO doesn't pencil out" and "does not work." No difference at all.

My guess is you haven't been in this business long enough to comment. Rev. A AMD "Barcelona" parts did not work in any meaningful way. They all had to be thrown out.

How much confidence do you have that Rev. A Ryzen parts will even work?

SMTP TLS doesn't and can't validate the certs. It is trivial to MITM it.

The linked decision, if you read it, discusses this. Google has in the past responded to similar requests but after the Microsoft decision they responded differently.

This decision is basically saying that the Microsoft decision was wrong, setting up the possibility of resolution by the Supreme Court.

Are we talking about bulk requests? The case we seem to be discussing here involves "data associated with three Google accounts held by an individual who resided in the United States."

In the case under discussion the government has a warrant.

Lunatic conspiracy theories about what Google does with email abound. There are several likely and reasonable explanations for why you can't find the mails you expect. Two of the most likely being 1) the messages were never acknowledged with a 220 response from gmail's smtp protocol translators to begin with; 2) the messages were accepted but are still in flight for some reason. Gmail does not accept and then silently drop messages. If they are accepted, they will be delivered.

If the feds want your "self hosted" emails they will break down your door, shoot your dog, and take every computer-resembling object on the premises.

That doesn't seem obviously true to me. Google for example doesn't run shuttles to Mountain View Caltrain.

Apple operates door-to-door shuttles to SF and other population centers but that isn't really the point. The point is they have obviously provisioned enough parking to give each and every one of their employees a parking space, with some left over. It's just irresponsible given the traffic situation in the area, and to call it energy efficient is greenwashing.

I always wanted to be ....

A lumberjack!

Secrets to fitness revealed!

  1: Stand up
  2: Go outside
  3: Walk around a lot

As far as I can tell from the schedule the minimum bus trip from this site to Sunnyvale Caltrain is 44 minutes, plus an average 10 minutes for headway. That assumes you did not start off on the east face of the UFO, in which case you should add a walk of up to a mile to get to the VTA stop on Wolfe.

Walking would be just about as fast.

It is HUGELY wasteful. The statement "one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world" is a prime example of obscuring the truth, as well. When considering full-system efficiency this is undoubtedly one of the most wasteful structures in the world. 12000 employees, 14000 parking spaces, and a 1-hour walk to the nearest point of mass tranportation (Lawrence Caltrain, which is poorly served; the more frequently served Sunnyvale Caltrain is a 75-minute walk from this building).

All states spend much more on roads than they take in on gas taxes, so the issue of whether gas taxes are "diverted" is moot. Every state also "diverts" a huge amount of general revenues to road building and maintenance. To stay with your example of Illinois, which recently passed a "lockbox" ballot measure for road funds, tolls and fuel taxes take in 1.6 billion a year but the state spends over 4 billion a year just on road maintenance alone, not even counting ancillary expenses like DMV, State Police, etc.

If we just lean into climate change face-first, as Republicans demand, there will be widespread famine and displacement. Nobody alive today has seen famine on a large scale. Relatively food-rich countries are going to be mowing down hungry hordes at their borders with machine guns. When I say "end of civilization as we know it" I'm not kidding.

Yes Trumps loves some infrastructure. He loves it so much that the first act of his Dept of Transportation was cancelling a long-planned $700m project to electrify Caltrain. Sad!

Your rant is just a rant. Mentioning HSR is some kind of dogwhistle. In what way is HSR mismanaged and how is that related to this dam?

The events at Oroville have been exceptional and it's strains belief that you, Random Internet Guy, saw it all coming. The amount of water that has fallen in the Feather watershed this year is without precedent in recorded history. The spillway worked fine until a gaping hole appeared in it. Nobody foresaw that a massive sinkhole would destroy the main spillway.

The interesting thing here is the disconnect between local and national politics. Butte and Plumas counties went to court because the dam's operations did not properly account for climate change. But the two counties are represented in Congress by Doug LaMalfa, a stereotypical climate change denier. LaMalfa has vociferously complained about all climate change policies at the state and federal level and constantly publishes press releases questioning the facts of climate science. He has a lifetime 0% score from the League of Conservation Voters. He is, in short, the kind of dangerous know-nothing who is bringing about the end of civilization as we know it.

One does begin to wonder if his constituents perceive the disconnect. One major problem is that Butte and Plumas counties taken together do not constitute a majority of the district (Butte is about a quarter million people and Plumas is ten times smaller). Relatively well-educated and affluent Chico is completely buried under a huge, rural, and very poor 1st district, most of whom are not threatened by these particular waterways.

> how long does in this age to find that information if you know what you are doing?

I think we're discussing fluency. If you are hiring someone to edit books written in English, do you want a person who has to look up the meaning of "present participle", or do you want someone who just _knows_ what it means? I am sure that most people can figure out what "present participle" means in a few minutes with a search engine but those aren't the people I want as the editor.

Here's the thing, nothing personal about you but a true fact about Google. Nobody at Google could possibly care less about your opinions on "application and database architecture" because Google does not have application and database architecture that even slightly resembles anything you have ever seen outside of the company. In fact the less you think you know about architecture the better it would be for all involved, if you were to go work at Google. Also all those things you know about makefiles and maven and ant and ansible and chef? Nobody cares. Google doesn't use those tools. Google has lots of famous engineers and while I believe their expertise and knowledge are valued, their outside experiences are generally not.

I don't know about the average but at Google I probably write a new call to std::set::find twice an hour, and it's important to know that std::set is a red-black tree, and how std::set::find is implemented and how much that costs and so forth. Fluency with data structures and algorithms is not some kind of brain candy. It's absolutely necessary to get the job done.

Yeah maybe you are right on that point. At Google at least the filtering by stage seems to be: Recruiter phone interview: do you speak English? Technical phone interview: have you ever programmed a computer before? Technical on-site interview: do you know a few things about data structures and algorithms?

> There is no point in giving me binary-tree-traversing questions; I don't know those answers and will never be interested in learning them.

Interview process: complete success.

People who are at war with the United States are not "assassinated" by that country. They just lose. Numerous people have lost their lives in this fashion.

Hundreds of thousands? According to Wikipedia 2000 gun sales were tracked under Fast and Furious and 710 of those were later found, leaving somewhat less than hundreds of thousands of guns afield.

It's a Boeing 707, essentially.

I was all-in with six. Three people to write the code. Two people to write the documentation and otherwise interface with the public. One person to answer all of the emails and attend all of the meetings and make sure nobody interrupts the other five people.

If you have headcount for "testing" then I don't want to use your software. Tests are integral to coding and should be written first.
