The drivers have a navigation system that maps the direction for them. I knew a guy who worked on it and making sure it turned right a lot :)

I'm serious in that: a) That's what is written in the contract b) I think you should be able to migrate off the platform within that timeframe, and you shouldn't join our platform if you don't think we're making it

Disclaimer: I work on the Cloud SQL team, but everything here is a completely my own FWIW, the Google products that are subject to the deprecation policy [1] will give a year's heads-up before they are shut down. We aren't doing o

I'm quite a fan of Hello, but you need to explicitly turn off a "feature" that tells people you message you send it with Hello. I have no idea why they don't just charge a dollar for it.

I was going to come here to say this. I've lived in a couple of college towns in California (Davis and Santa Cruz), and they both have a Gap in the downtown area. Strolling downtown, especially in Santa Cruz, is just a Thing To Do, lik

Well, if they aren't crashing, and the apps are already built, then aren't they really running just fine? What value do you buy by switching legacy apps that aren't being actively developed to Postgres?

Yes, it's not possible . This is the very same way my wife and I were running bills for years, and yes, that's why I didn't move to Simple due to that feature not being there.

Just because something is a possible attack vector for fraud, doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. Other US banks offer the feature. And, at least in the UK, it's a standard thing to do. If they combined with two-factor auth, the

Yes, I was in early too. I never committed money to them because they just kept missing features that I needed. Like transferring money to another bank. Or transferring money to another bank to an account that isn't mine. Or a savings

Externally it appears this way (I can't talk about infrastructure in any real detail). Latency is the same as if you were running MySQL on any other platform AFAIK. If the database is cold, yes, the DB is spun down. An incoming connect

I would frame it the other way which is that Google has had to dogfood the inhouse services so has spent a bunch of time troubleshooting/bug fixing internally ;) I know that Google as a whole has a rep for support which isn't grea

Speaking for myself and not for the company (I only joined Cloud SQL in October), given limited time/people/money, I'd have made the same choice. Everything on the web can run on MySQL, or has a connector to do so. Postgres,

The 500GB bit is listed under "Storage Size", the column in the table is the amount of storage you get without needing to pay. This is a bit confusing, I'll file a bug to get it cleaned up. Thanks for the spot.

Basically, Cloud SQL databases are written out to Google's storage system, which automagically replicates across several datacenters. If the primary datacenter that your database is in goes down, it's still replicated across other

MySQL provides the underpinnings for many other hosted apps, like Wordpress. It's the lingua franca of web databases, so that's why we're working with it. Disclaimer: I'm a developer on Cloud SQL.

While you can't get root on App Engine, you can get root on a Google Compute Engine instance, and you can use Cloud SQL for a standard data backend. You don't have to use a keystore deal like the old days anymore (pre-2011). Discl

There is no solution to it, all big cities that I am aware of have a cycle of gentrification of urban renewal. To think SF is some special snowflake where it wouldn't happen is naive, to think that it wouldn't happen in SF when ho

Can confirm; I'm a developer on the Cloud SQL team, which is in the same Product Area as GCE. When it says "Google Compute Engine is a service that provides virtual machines that run on Google infrastructure" it means it. The

I'm honestly not sure how your email address would be leaked, vanity URLs are name-based and at least one of the reasons Plus uses ID strings was in order to prevent leaking any account details through the URL. I'm sorry that othe

I don't really want to dive into this conversation in any real depth, but I do want to point out that Google+, with old features or new, has never violated the ACLs that users set. If you set something to private, it remains private fo

Yeah, I'd also like to see them allow you to attach Add-On items with your Subscribe & Save order. Subscribe & Save exists because it's cheaper to send it all at once, right? So why can't an Add-On item be put in that

You can also do a web chat, which is a lot easier then telephoning.

The problem with Tor is that it's not clear who is running which nodes and where you'll come out. uProxy is designed for people who know that their endpoint is friendly, such as a friend who no longer lives in the country, or a

This is a key point: VPNs provide an obvious point of failure, and are easily shut down and/or monitored by repressive regimes. The big concern is not that the VPN is shut down, but that those who connect to it are being monitored, and
