Also, utility line workers always treat everything as live until they isolate it and confirm it’s not live (or do the work live in some cases).

That’s really secondary, they don’t have the money and it’s not clear they will.

It’s worse. They are doing this in the hopes of getting future underwriting business.

YouTube has some pretty awful videos of ear canals full of cotton fibers. Touching the eardrum is not the only risk.

The account of the deposition is terrible. The defense attorney (representing Uber) should not be allowed in polite society. What an absolutely abhorrent company

A well designed and deployed VPN link from the satellite location back to HQ (to machines isolated for just this use) would be orders of magnitude safer then what they seem to have been doing, and a reasonable compromise between security an

The big question for 2 is what devices have access. If it’s a bunch of employees from loosely managed general use laptops, bad. If it’s a few computers at HQ that are totally locked down and without internet access, probably ok.

I assume they are talking about things like water towers that are spread around, and linked back to hq via insecure wireless.

My impression, inside and out of G, was that Sundar (and Ruth) were about scaling down R&D expenses (as a fraction of revenue), and focusing on exploiting the monopolies. Perhaps now there could be a shift back to investing in R&D t
