    My team in Sunnyvale is hiring to work on SiliFuzz. Are you interested in advancing the state of the Fuzzing technology? Do you like doing low-level work with CPUs, OS kernels, Emulators, and compilers? Want to work on a modern C++ code base (soon to be open-sourced)?

    Surprised no one has capitalized on this opportunity: private chartered flights cross country requiring vaccine and pre-boarding rapid tests, at prices 5-10x commercial airlines. Feel like many would pay for this, even if the optics would be horrible

    Finally exited my short after over a year. Down from $357 to $210. Still bearish on longer term potential here but didn't want to be sitting on the position for years.

    Anyone have a recommendation for transferring relatively large sums of money abroad (THB)? Used in the past but they currently seem to have misplaced a large transfer and not calling me back...

    It's fun to think about the leverage this provides on small optimizations (or perf bugs). Save 1 microsecond on a critical path -> 1000 CPU cores saved -> ~1 rack of hardware.

    Another very cool datapoint being talked about at Google Cloud Next today: Spanner services 1 billion QPS. Even as someone who spent the prior 10 years working on "big data", that's an almost incomprehensibly large number of transactions.

    Always a good day when 5 hours in gdb brings you from "it's the application" to "it's some library code" to "it's the allocator" to "it's the kernel" with a fair amount of confidence.

    Would you like to come be my boss? Please? I don't much want to run a large org, so we're hiring to relieve my manager load. If you've got interest in platforms (vs products) and experience with managing medium/large orgs, apply for this one. Your coworkers will be amazing.

    👍🏿This is a cool job "Build and drive a coherent vision and strategy of Google's Libraries and Code Health efforts, both for our internal users, but also how it fits into Google's third-party strategy."

    Any other fiber customers in menlo park (or bay area in general) getting unusable latencies and packet loss to Google? ping 8.8.8.8 1+ sec, ping 1.1.1.1 is fine. Seems to be a network issue but their support doesn't understand what I"m saying.
