Again no, we use ECS, a managed container orchestration solution with far less operational overhead than K8s. Try again.

Does this mean we get lots of hype and an inferior product that is eventually phased out an replaced by an acquisition built by non-google engineers?

That’s a good argument

My ancestors weren’t. But I’d be triggered by anything that didn’t shame that time in history, if they were.

To the cynics: how would you feel about this change if your great grand parents were slaves, lived in shackles and got whipped regularly and called the person whipping them “master”?

This is correct. The privately run version of this setup Alphabets Project X was wrecked by lousy hiring decisions. Who the heck recruits people like this?

“ As the Times reported, DeVaul, whose title is “director of rapid evaluation and mad science,” told a young female job candidate during a 2013 interview that he was in a polyamorous relationship. Later, when he saw the woman at Burning Man while she was still waiting to hear back about the job, DeVaul asked her if she would take off her shirt for a back massage.”

Real world rewards brevity. I predict a learning curve.

These are Google engineers we are talking about. The same people who bring you gcp. Why are you surprised.

Gradle is designed to keep people who spend time getting good at it employed.

It’s a real embarrassment to our industry.

Based on past threads, I think that a majority of HN views startup funding as competitive, and acknowledges the risks from a lack of funding - some from first hand experience, and that adversity is not evenly distributed among non-minorities, and that for technology product adoption nobody looks at the team just the usefulness, so anything other than a level playing field will be frowned upon here.

I am an immigrant where I live, so i will take the liberty to ask:

- Do the behaviors we have been seeing on television from law enforcement in the US extend to offline business relationships in the US in more subtle ways? For example would a minority with a new product be given a lower preference to demo their stuff at a technology meetup? Would they be passed up for a promotion at work because the boss preferred someone who looked like him?

- Is there a systemic variation in the quality and accessability of human relationships for some groups? (vital for recruiting, selling, partnering, fund raising, launching, ecosystem and user community building). For example would it be harder to sign up beta users for an enterprise product?

Those are the core issues they could face, and they are very real in some places in the UK.

If this is a case, perhaps it is warranted or you will have capable people unable to contribute.
