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...
@riovictoire At the moment my Information Operations subteam is focussed on coordinated inauthentic behavior, generally state sponsored. We separately have a sub-team focussed on cybercrime and financially motivated threats.
The wider problem of truth, trusts and facts on the Internet is important, but we have to break this problem apart and conflating so many different things under the one term of "disinformation" is just muddying the water IMO.
"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"
