Yup. I have an adblocker, but after the first answer (which was crap) I got a link to the question "What is jam made from?" and then got prompted with a modal to prompt me to make an account. Never again.

So couldn't you charge the control-plane for zero-node clusters?

I have personal experience of a few companies in the UK where GCP are offering 90+% discounts to onboard. GCP are spending hundreds of millions to do this. K8S control-planes are a rounding error compared to this.

You could have grandfathered in current deployments but - nope. In the tech world this is up there with killing Google Reader.

TBF it may be best to explain your working a bit better, considering you work at Google.

That's actually a really good idea. Bit like a Credit Card Chargeback, except it's charged to the customer and is refundable.

Same with NHK (I think) in Japan. Lots of old school broadcasters doing proper engineering.

If easydns can't survive a HN flood then I wouldn't want to be a customer of theirs.

BBC research are amazing. They've been doing this for decades, most recently with next gen codecs and latency issues on internet transmission. As a British person I'm actually proud of them, even though many people complain their politics are orthogonal to mine.

Same! Best programming I ever did was on the ST and Amiga.

Please don't overegg the issue with AMP by comparing it to cancer.

I've not had the same issue on my Thinkpad X1C6. I think I installed TLP and Powertop but the battery life is better than Windows for my use case.

Yeah, Google's SSO is fine unless the first logged-in account (/u/0) is one with a redirect to a company portal login. At which point you have to manipulate the URL to get to a different account.

Happy to proofread and fix it in a PR, looks like a nice tool.

Agreed - have seen at least 2 of these in the last couple of days, this is ridiculous.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon. It's a beautiful laptop and works well with Fedora after a couple of tweaks.

I've got an XPS 13 for work which is nice too but runs windows. Pros and cons are:

ThinkPad: Better keyboard by far, more rugged, better bios for Linux that supports normal sleep states

XPS: Can charge on either side, better speakers

Donated via PayPal. Thanks for your work, would be great to see it in the kernel soon.

Thanks - yes that's exactly what I meant

Hate oracle personally. But when Amazon mention cost savings, I assume they're not at list price for normal aws customers like us?

Not a chance. It's never a single engineer, code gets the PR checked by another engineer and the Jira will be specific with any PII, probably written by committee, all of whom know the importance of the data. Don't conflate this crap with blaming a single nebulous engineer.

I've not worked in years at a place that wouldn't understand the importance of PII. Not that it doesn't happen, but let's not mince words here - this was wilfully done.

If Twitter didn't distinguish between phone_2fa and phone_identifier then they really shouldn't be in business.

Same happened to me. However, I did do a support request which 2 days later agreed to let me in without a phone number. 2 days.

I think we can file this under 'dark patterns' and finally realise Twitter is attempting to be as abusive as Facebook.

Bollocks. A phone number is an ideal identifier to match on, they've done exactly the same as FB - pretended it's something for security then gone 'oops'.

I've never worked on the same scale as FB or Twitter and I know that this is a no-go area.

" we have addressed the issue that allowed this to occur and are no longer using phone numbers or email addresses collected for safety or security purposes for advertising. "

Does this mean the matches they've already made on these identifiers are still active?

That caught me too...

That's the nerdiest, but most British description of them ever. I'm nicking that.

Google already have an Android VPN https://www.howtogeek.com/275474/how-to-use-androids-wi-fi-a...

Never thought I'd see the KLF mentioned here, one of the greatest artists of my youth

I think around 8 hours from 100% to turn off. Bear in mind the battery is 2 years old.

I don't tend to have the screen too bright (live in the UK), Bluetooth disabled etc. Also I spend most of my life in Firefox / SSH / VSCode in that order.

Exactly.

Anybody remember the way Blackberry handled this before proper push messaging? The data connection was completely dead, they just got the mobile companies themselves to do it over the phone call connection (SMS?) to indicate when there was something to read at which point the data layer came up. Really efficient in those days, except you obviously paid a fee for 'Blackberry service'

Had a 6th gen for nearly 2 years running Fedora. Typing on it now, love it. A couple of points.

1. There's a couple of things to make it Linux friendly - TLP, plus the throttling fix. Even though I use Fedora the Arch Linux wiki is superb for this.

2. BIOS updates are done via software update which is superb.

3. The FN/action keys are the wrong way round, just change it in the BIOS.

4. Same goes for Fn/Ctrl keys - they can be swapped too in the BIOS.

5. Screen is beautiful. I've got the HDR one and it's brighter than any Macbook i've been sat next to on the train.

6. Never got the fingerprint reader or NFC to work, but i've not tried for a year tbf - this may be fixed.

7. Speakers are complete shite.

8. Keyboard is the best you'll get on a laptop this size, it's wonderful.

9. 2x USB-C/Thunderbolt is awesome. Only thing about the XPS 13 I use for work is that the USB-C is on both sides unlike the Lenovo, makes it easier to get a charge cable round.

I honestly love this laptop, even after 2 years I don't see the need for a upgrade.

AMA btw.
