For the most part, the "have a friend at Google" doesn't help anymore. They even tell us googlers to use the external process when our account gets locked.

This is why I like Google Fi. It is much harder to do account takeout over of a Google Fi number compared to most telecos. The attacker would have to take over the Google account which seemed to be harder to do.

Default values in proto are considered an anti pattern and was removed from the language in proto3. Agreed that protocol level required is bad, and it's with proto3 made optional the default. Our team enforces required fields via proto

Depends on your use. If you are parsing a message you just received, I agree that you want to do a "has" check before accessing a field. But when constructing a message, having to manually create all the options is really annoyi

The opaque API brings some niceties that other languages have, specifically about initialization. The Java impl for protobuf will never generate a NullPointerException, as calling `get` on a field would just return the default instance of

I agree, to an extent. But when articles twist words and uses stats in places that are lies, I have issues with it as well. There's no reason to embellish this data. How many traffic fatalities is too many? If we lowered the maximum

I'm talking open source here. When it's funded, there will be people to help fix issues and put out new releases. This includes things like Go, Flutter/dart, k8s, and others. Yes, any of those could be defunded at any moment

Most companies do stock buybacks as a way to pay out bonuses to employees and execs with a lower tax rate. Since RSUs are taxed lower (I think), companies pay employees with those. But those grants are given by creating new shares. To not d

Googler, opinions are my own. You have to look at what teams at Google are using Flutter. Any dev tool Google officially releases tends to be funded by some product that actually likes/uses it. Current list from https://flu

I mean, that's the security story around it. You solve this and buying multiple yubikeys. Google and others support multiple keys, which gives you the backup story (I have 4 keys in various places).

Our market share in cloud speaks volumes. We had a huge start with AppEngine. But for some reason we failed to launch. I'd guess it was a lack of support and enterprise hand holding. the cloud team hasbeen trying to play catch-up there

Did Trump or his staff write it? You realize he's disavowed it? Yes, it's from many former staffers, but they are former staffers, not active. There has been very little policy debate this election cycle, so I honestly have no cl
