I think we need to stop comparing Uber to Lyft. To me, this is more of a Lyft problem as Uber has diversified way more.

Qualcomm did the same thing on their phones back in the days (known as QFUSE). Not sure about right now.

there is no ARE and there's also a "0ARR" handling setting - so this is actually considered 0 input delay.

I think the right approach for this is to make this program voluntary - not forced. If someone wants to learn more about customers, they can CHOOSE to do this. This just shows that DD doesn't trust their employees to care and have empathy.

Concur is painful to set-up but once it's done, it's not too bad

This is taking a longer time than expected for a company like Facebook - must be serious where a rollback isn't possible or trivial.

from what i understand (take with grain of salt) remote access to the routers affected is down. So they need to be physically plugged in to address the issue. hence some of the other "scrambling private jets" comments referring to getting the right people physically plugged in to the right routers.

I wonder if everyone refreshing the sites/apps trying to get it to load is contributing to the problem

Probably not, from other comments it looks like there was a wrong configuration rolled out, and now they are logistically struggling to get access to fix them.

reminds me of Google Wave

x-googlers are expensive. most companies can't afford them. They'd likely need to sell with stock options and IPO prospects

I get weekly emails from HFTs wanting to hire SWEs and SREs for >500k base. These companies do exist but vary quite a bit in quality of life and stress.

It's a very specific niche that I fall in: experience with managing OSS, lots of build systems, CI/CD, managing reliable systems (N+1, monitoring, latency management), C++ & assembly for x86, etc.

Essentially they want someone they can plop into a dysfunctional team who can help bring things back to a steady state regardless of the issues that are there while keeping everyone happy which is something I've done two or three times.

Rather then butting heads you make demos, convince people, lead by consensus, help put people in charge of sub projects that they can execute on, etc.

that sounds way more rare than most jobs

I started getting them at ~2 months at Google. I was no more qualified for those jobs then than I was before I joined Google. I got the seal of "he's a Googler, he's super smart" which currently exists. I'm not saying it's true. I've worked with baby googlers who somehow find the best way to nose dive the quality and reliability of all software at a company. I've also worked with others that can turn entire companies around and get them on track with amazing tech knowledge and leadership. I aim to be the latter and so far, before Google, I have a pretty good track record of doing that. The Xoogler mark just makes it easy for recruiting people to find me.

Plenty of unicorns around. They would love those googlers, and many are willing to pay SF wages in (say) Des Moines.

It's not a question of SF wages, but Google-in-SF wages. Which is VERY high. I think a citation is needed for your claim.

I’ve had the same thought.

It's unclear if these were private messages. It's possible these were posted on public channels. AFAIK, Slack doesn't allow companies/IT access to private messages unless there are legal implications.

There are multiple articles about the issue and it literally states they were private messages in them.

Yes, slack absolutely allows IT to view your private messages.

As far as I know you can ask a complete dump of their DB through a simple GDPR request.
