Google Cloud accidentally nukes customer account, causes two weeks of downtime

UniSuper, a $135 billion pension account, details its cloud compute nightmare.

@arstechnica Pretty wild how many people in these comments are blaming the victim. I mean sure, it would make sense to have their own backups (and they did still have another active backup service) but shouldn't the blame fall upon Google for failing so catastrophically?

Evidently this was a freak accident but when your whole business is protecting data, you should always be able to recover from a situation like this. Even if the failure was initiated by the customer.

The top editor of the New York Times makes clear that his newsroom won't take a stand on the increasingly likely end of democracy in America.

I'm sick to my stomach as I read this, but I think everyone should see what cowards we have running our most important media organizations.

Trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine is filled with fun slo-mo action, F-bombs

Can this film revive a flagging MCU? We're gonna go with "yes."

Last night I opened up YT in a private window, & clicked on an unrelated video to that of the one I had just watched. It was a video on arctic ice melts that turned out to be 100% denialist.

One click & there I was in endless fetid scroll of Jordan Peterson, climate change denial, 'what is woke' explainers, 'lol snowflakes' shorts, Trump propaganda, knife fights, & misogynistic, racist garbage.

Don't tell me Big Tech aren't culpable for the hate out there. They're farming it, on a vast scale.

The Washington Post is wrong. Google Gemini is not necessarily exposing a left-wing bias but a neo-liberal bias.

You see, the problem with neo-liberalism is that it believes that social progress is possible without economic progress. For this reason, it ignores the greater social context for why social progress must exist: the need for re-distribution of wealth and resources.

For example, neo-liberalism is perfectly fine with providing gender neutral bathrooms – provided that those using the bathrooms are paying customers.

This is why Google was, at first, perfectly fine with rolling out a product that featured gender and racial diverse Nazi soldiers. All the better to create gender and racial diversity even if the context for why that diversity must exist is altogether ignored.

In Google’s world, diversity is fine as long as it serves the greater purpose of concentrating wealth in fewer and fewer hands.

The neo-liberal is fine with you all celebrating your identities provided that identity is monetized. And surprise! Those benefitting from that monetization are likely to be white and male.

The end result is diversity for thee, but not for me.

@nixCraft This kind of post is exactly how his buyout of Twitter began. making ignorant statements and turning those into ignorant actions. He probably will try to have his own operating system created, or extended from Tesla's Linux-based OS into something to compete with Apple and Microsoft at the PC level.
