Moving to Sydney next month but still working for Google in mostly the same role.
The Silicon Valley I'm leaving in 2023 is a very different place to the one I moved to in 2010.
Will be an interesting experiment in seeing what gets better and what gets worse having a little distance and timezone shift.
I hope everyone (rightfully) slamming the NYT Op Ed on Signal today, takes a moment to read up on Gell-Mann amnesia and thinks about how terribly wrong the NYT is on other topics that you didn't notice.
Renewing my Greencard on the USCIS website is driving me crazy.
It's a basic webform to submit data and still manages to fail on >50% of page submission requests and I'm stuck not being able to upload a 700k file "please try again in a few moments"
For this experience of replacing a plastic card I will be eventually charged $550 and it will take over 6 months to process. Note: you also aren't allowed to apply until 6 months before expiry.
Dealing with the US Government is just... tiring. Until I moved here, I wondered why Americans were so opposed to government providing services...
"Disinformation" is becoming meaningless term. It's now commonly used to mean everything from "government backed information operations" through to "stuff I disagree with" through to "someone is wrong on the Internet"
In my team we've pretty much stopped using the word and renamed our anti "disinfo" mission to anti "information operations"
As a kid I loved the movie Brewster's Millions, where Richard Pryor had to spend $30m in 30 days and end up with no assets at the end.
Enjoying the 2022 remake with $44B
Zum Teufel mit den Kohlen: Directed by Walter Hill. With Richard Pryor, John Candy, Lonette McKee, Stephen Collins. A minor-league baseball player must spend $30 million in 30 days in order to inherit $300 million. However, he's not allowed to own any assets, destroy the money, gift it, give it to charity, or tell anyone about the deal.
I kinda thought this Mastodon thing was just a fad and the Twitter drama would just blow over.
Today, it's looks like I might need to start making my self comfortable here.
Seems like it was a good #cyberwarcon event today.
I'm very happy that TAG got to publish and talk on Russian IO operations today. While still a sensitive topic happy to see openness is increasing.
