>So, if you decide to work actively for your own company – managing day-to-day activities, acting in elevated positions such as CEO including managerial or executive positions, and hiring-firing people in your business, it might lead to revocation of your H-1B status.

He was kind of considered very aloof and an asshole during his career. Sometimes people age and become more mellow.

Given software salaries are pretty high why not cut 10% of comp?

Unless they just wanted to fire them and just using this time as an excuse.

There was so much evidence that even if everyone stayed silent they weren't getting off.

Ask HNs: Is GCP fully booked this thanksgiving?

I am getting this error:

A e2-highcpu-2 VM instance is currently unavailable in the us-east4-c zone. Alternatively, you can try your request again with a different VM hardware configuration or at a later time. For more information, see the troubleshooting documentation.

You don't really get support from google on the cheaper machines. Is all of GCP being used for black friday stuff?

He plans to fire most of them. I don't think he thinks they are are that smart.

He could be right or wrong.

Microsoft got smacked down for installing it's browser. How the government hasn't fined apple like a 100 billion dollars makes no sense.

The digital data in many cases is still transformed into sine waves before being transmitted and received. There is a bunch of rf involved.

Hedge funds/hf trading companies can't compete with monopolies in printing money. I wonder how they are getting all these people.

This is an article about Chudnovsky brothers building a homemade super computer to compute pi. It is crazy how our phones are 1500 times more powerful than their supercomputer. It is also crazy how they were able build a homemade super computer in the early 90s with prices of components and less availability of computing.

Tell HN: GCP Offers No Support

samfisher83 — Wed, 04 May 2022 03:34:02 +0000

So I have a personal project which I pay like 10-20 bucks a month for. I am pretty sure I found a bug but apparently there is no way to log a support ticket unless you you sign for the 30 dollar monthly fee. My company also has gcp, azure, and aws. You can guess which service provides the worst support.

If you pay money for something they should have some support. I use GCP because the service I am connecting to is hosted in GCP which will lower my latency, but GCP support is so terrible.
