I hardly watch youtube tho so blocking ads on it isn't really a benefit to me ive tried both and apple music and they can all fulfill my use case equally well turn it on like once a week for an hour to listen to the same 50 songs on repeat

fishmech posted:try just changing your dns next time rather than using a full vpn. itll probably redirect you to better cdn servers and you wont have the loading issues I thought their whole model moved to disable ISP-level CDNs so what you're really doing is moving around oversaturated peering links between your ISP and whatever regional datacenter is serving content.

this is basically why no business that does anything important can ever use g suite. a six month sunset on google drive, so you better hope your use case fits into whichever of the new silos they've created

MeruFM posted:despite being segmented by levels cool yeah the article mentions that highly technical roles and non-technical roles can end up on the same level, but the technical ones get a higher pay. So the graph could represent the bad level of diversity in the technical positions rather than outright salary discrimination, not that either of them is actually good news.

Yeah, a L5 admin and a L5 SWE probably have a 100k delta so if you're just comparing it by level across ladders it's not really a valid thing. The big problem is that women in tech are such a smaller minority they shake out even smaller at high levels, which is not really something they've been coy about as a problem, at least internally. Imo a lot of tech culture is actually pretty lovely, and people like Damore really aren't that that unusual. lovely culture drives lots of women away even if managers aren't sitting in their offices smoking cigars and yelling "har har har, paw does brawds half price, whadda they gonna do go somewhere else??" like some cartoon villain. Also there's a huge pay gap geographically. NYC and SF/Bay make absurd multiples compared to my team mates in central Europe.

Then I told them my rent and they were like "ok ok I'm way less mad now." But it's also an open secret than when you come in the recruiter anchors your comp to ($current_pay * $attractive_multiple) then tries to pass you for the hiring committee at whatever band that is in your target office. So in a sense Google inherits all the lovely bias of society and industry without having to have dirty hands.

i know, i'm saying now you have to split your usage of google drive into two silos, and hope your usage of the system can now fit into the new idea they have of how storage should work. in six months. until the next time they change their minds about how your business should use their service, whenever they get bored with this.

just like how onedrive and teamsites use two different systems that are not mutually compatible, and require different implementations of the sync client to function

according to their checklist that doesn't share between users. it looks like they've siloed individual user storage and shared storage in the way MS did between teamsites and onedrive. idk, maybe it has identical functionality to drive right now and they're just telling everyone to download a new client and transition everything for no reason infernal machines fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Sep 9, 2017 |

backup and sync is more or less the same as drive was except it adds two things -you can make any folder you want sync to the cloud (didnt the original ms cloud doohickey do this years ago? back when it was skydrive or something?) -it replaces the standalone desktop applet that auto uploads photos to google photos anyone who is still on the old drive app is because they went out of their way to stay that way my mac updated it to backup and sync a while ago

File Stream or whatever is being pitched more to enterprise customers where you might have 50tb of shared files and storage across the company and you don't want to download and sync all of that for obvious reasons.

Which is fine, but why don't they introduce it as a separate product rather than replace google drive with it and make anyone who isn't interested download some new legacyish program

the local sync model used by most drive services is dumb and bad. file systems are not designed to support concurrent write access to the same object. iCloud has a partial solution to this with object storage and syncing. it looks like google is going full network file system with probably some kind of concurrency arbitration.

Yeah I just downloaded it and it seems exactly the same as the old drive desktop client except with a settings UI that looks like it wasn't made 15 years ago and a new "continuous backup" option. So it's more of an upgrade and client rename. I don't know why you'd terrify everyone by saying the old version is deprecated and while simultaneously launching the same thing with a different name. I guess some product person really wanted to underline the difference between the consumer and enterprise feature sets.
