the one googler I know is actually down to earth and doesn't give a poo poo about the perks really. then again he lives in Austin and works for their corporate products division so maybe the mountain view people are different


the best way that the eu could gently caress with google (and all of the US software companies) would be to fix the loophole they are exploiting for taxes. of course that's a bit of a nuclear option

eh then they'd go back to delaware or whatever

but at least they won't be sitting on domestic 'foreign' cash i guess

I transferred most of my poo poo over to google domains this week and had to get a senior domain tech or whatever to manually create glue records

you'd think that'd be a feature they'd have thought to put in before the thing even went invite-only beta but hey

what are glue records?

if you register a domain say domain.tld and instead of using somebody else's dns host like say ns1.googledomains.com or whatever you'd rather run your own dns at ns.domain.tld

a record needs to be created and updated at the root server to point ns.domain.tld at an ip address that you specify

for example:

msft.net specifies ns[1-5].msft.net as its NS servers, this is not possible to resolve without glue records

a domain record (ex: for msft.net) specifies dns servers that are authoritative for the domain

$ whois msft.net
[...]
Name Server: ns5.msft.net
Name Server: ns4.msft.net
Name Server: ns3.msft.net
Name Server: ns1.msft.net
Name Server: ns2.msft.net
[...]

but you can't resolve ns1.msft.net without knowing what server (ip address) answers for the domain msft.net, so it's circular and impossible

so instead the guys who run msft.net ask the registrar very nicely to add a special record at the .net registry level that says specifically ns1.msft.net is 65.55.37.62

re: search engine network effects

as expected, google's search share remains tied its all time high as of early this year, while bing's eating up share from everybody who is not google (though it does now hold ~18% share)
