The parent comment: " First, be Evil. I'm pretty sure that's Google's motto."

Google is now often acting in a way that is, in some ways, bad for users. What underlies that? Very poor management.

My guess is that Sergey Brin and Larry Page became overloaded running Google, now Alphabet Inc. Consider, for example, how you would feel about running a company with 72,053 employees. Extremely overloaded?

Now Pichai Sundararajan, also known as Sundar Pichai, is the CEO of Google. He was originally from Tamil Nadu, India. About 88% of Tamils are Hindus.

It is my understanding, based on talking with Hindus in India, that Hindus generally don't handle conflict well. For example, consider this quote from the article, Conflict resolution and Hinduism:

"The main teachings of Hinduism, according to Rao, include the following components:
An emphasis on suffering, impermanence and contingency;
Every act is suffused with spirituality and is meant to enable one to realize oneself;
Self-effacement, not self-assertion, is taught;
..."

To manage a technology company well, there must be deep emphasis on logical resolution of both technological and social conflicts. Conflicts must be resolved, not avoided. The quote above lists methods of avoiding the deep details of conflicts, not resolving them.

I'm guessing, and it is only a guess based on observation from outside the companies, that Google CEO Sundar Pichai is good at seeing methods Google can use to make more money, but is not good at understanding and resolving negative issues concerning those methods.

Now, technically knowledgeable people are complaining about many ways Google is abusive. For example, Google sells several services to companies that have web sites. The negative result is that Google tracks users of those sites.

A long time ago, I installed the Google Chrome Browser. The installation installed 3 system services. I uninstalled Chrome. I would not let Google's browser software to have more control over my computer than I have when I'm operating as a limited user.

See the article by Richard Stallman, The JavaScript Trap. Google is especially abusive: "Google Docs tries to download into your machine a JavaScript program which measures half a megabyte, in a compacted form that we could call Obfuscript because it has no comments and hardly any whitespace, and the method names are one letter long. The source code of a program is the preferred form for modifying it; the compacted code is not source code, and the real source code of this program is not available to the user."

The present emphasis of Google is apparently only on making more money. Alphabet and Google top management aren't paying attention to the social damage that is being done to the companies.

There are plenty of ways for Alphabet and Google to make money without having a negative affect on the companies, the users, and the world. Top managers who recognize and resolve conflicts can make healthy decisions. Top managers who think merely about making more money, and don't think deeply, damage their companies.

As a long-standing member of the computer security industry, having done vulnerability research my entire career [0], there's exactly two sentiments in the industry:

1.) This is cool! I'll do this in my free time, it's fun!
2.) Fuck you, pay me.

The problem with #1 is that as soon as you hit any real resistance, it stops being fun. Have you tried landing a patch at GNU.org or in the upstream kernel? Biggest pain in the rear, ever.

The current state of affairs is that you can remain a White Hat and report vulnerabilities to Google in any open source software [1] or even Android specifically [2] and earn TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER BUG. You can find even more companies / projects to assist through BugCrowd or HackerOne.

Alternately, if you don't mind your bugs being sold to any number of nation states, just take your research to Apple iOS, and either Exodus [3] or VUPEN-nee-Zerodium will pay you A MOTHER FUCKING MILLION DOLLARS [4] for the right bugs.

All of this whining is coming from the same open-source community leader (Torvalds) that has publicly shunned GRSecurity [5] one of the groups that has been trying to help for 20 years, and has stated that infosec industry members should "Please just kill yourself now. The world would be a better place." [6]

So to you, Mr. Torvalds, I say:

FUCK YOU, PAY ME.

See the John Oliver's Last Week Tonight show about this very topic. https://www.google.com/url?sa=...

Oh, that's not hard. It's about a trillion dollars cheaper than the current system to get the foundational benefit out; once you add back OASDI and such, it's still a hell of a lot cheaper.

Take the 2016 model, for example. Taxes taken by FICA (OASDI) total $810.20 billion; Federal individual income taxes are $1,546.10 billion; and business income taxes are $299.60 billion. Out of that $2,655.90 billion of total income-based taxes, we spend $1,346.20 at the Federal level on retirement, disability, food security services, unemployment, and housing assistance.

Excluding many poverty-reducing services from the model entirely (see "Restructuring Target"), that's $1,279.70 of spending to restructure. As a percentage of income taxes, it's 48.18%; and then to have WIC (entirely childcare and pregnant women support), TANF (childcare, basic aid, and administrative costs only), and HUD still operate, you need an extra $28.69 billion or about 0.2% income taxes.

So flush all the FICA tax to income--the 6.2% on payrolls comes out of paychecks instead--and then cut 48% out of the combined tax brackets (this slightly-reduces the deficit) and out of the corporate tax rate (35%). Add 0.2% to that to capture the services mentioned above, and also drop in a 15% separate Universal Security funding tax on all income (corporate and individual).

That gives you $2,183 billion moving around. The top tax bracket is now 35.8%; business tax rate is 33.20%; and, in 2016, each adult receives $8,751/year or $729.25/month disbursed as $364.63 twice each month. The net-effect, with the new tax rates minus the benefit, is a reduction in income taxes retained at every level; at the lowest end, the benefit exceeds the tax burden.

The 6.2% FICA tax on payrolls has been removed here. To pay the full benefit--without raising the retirement age, cutting disability eligibility, or reducing cost-of-living adjustments--we need to put a 5.15% FICA tax back on payrolls and pay the difference between this new Universal benefit and the original Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance pensions. So if you get $1,200/month in retirement today, then instead every adult receives $729.25, while you receive an additional $470.75 as your Social Security retirement, netting the same $1,200. By taking 5.30%, we tip the balance some, giving the Trust better cash flow.

The Universal benefit has grown by 8% since 2013 in the model, whereas retirement has grown by 5.10% and OASDI benefits reaching those on the program in total has grown by 6.72%. That means this benefit overtakes OASDI eventually, and so that 5.30% can come down; as well, the OASDI tax funds the Trust and ensures its solvency (as of 2016, Social Security claimed the Trust would be insolvent by 2034).

The new Universal benefit can't become insolvent unless the United States suffers an unrecoverable total economic collapse: the adjusted payout follows the take per adult each year, and that only goes down when the country is economically damaged. This funding structure also survives the 2008 Great Recession as a new recession model, without compromising its ability to sustain low-income households. It also increases proportionally to productivity: it's essentially a chunk of GDP-per-capita, an economic dividend of a sort.

So at this point, you have most Federal welfare services still operating. The means-test for many services faces higher-income, better-means households, and so the benefits required and the associated costs are lower. This constant payment replaces Federal unemployment insurance (and probably SNAP--I want to investigate that further before actually submitting a draft bill, should I get elected, but that requires CBO access and you kind of have to be a Congressman to get that), while the State uninsurance programs continue to take their tax and pay their own benefits. I've targeted childcare

Yeah, slashdot uses HSTS, so your browser should never sent HTTP requests to slashdot.

FWIW http://www.google.com/ does not use HSTS. For this exact reason, I'd guess. So your browser will send HTTP requests to google.com. If the request isn't intercepted you'll get back a 301 redirecting you to https://www.google.com/ so in the normal case it will immediately switch to TLS mode, but in the case that it's intercepted by a login page the login page will work.

I have no idea how long that will continue to be the case.

Look, I subscribe to the idea that climate change exists and man is a significant contributor to the effects; however, anyone who goes spouting off "moar hurricanes b/c climate change" or "werse hurricanes b/c climate change" undermines the climate conservation movement.
To make an allusion to the commercial markets, the changes can only appreciably be measured over years and decades. Case in point would be to look at the Accumulated Cyclone Energy tracked by Weather Underground. The trend is certainly up over a 3 decade sample, but small when averaged out over the sample. Compared to the hurricane cost trends, there is something of a mismatch. The line drawn between hurricanes and climate change does not match the when "the big one" swings through the US, but only in media clickbait. Scientist, at the same time have to politely tamp down their advocates because the selling point us unattainable. Namely: Hurricanes have existed long before humans messed with the environment and will continue to exist long after we (hopefully) stop. The cause is tied to the cost of the damage, and the damage is the result of our housing, city planning, and insurance policies that have supported risky investments in coastal areas. The US appears to be the only 1st world country that cannot seem to get its act together in matching planning and policy with the threat and impact of ANY disaster based on my travels through Asia, Canada, and Europe. The won't be a "Dust Bowl" moment for climate change so we need to stop chasing them. While US climate refugees are a small cost today, this will be an ever-increasing cost and we can make the economical argument today without all the other squawking.

In tandem with all of this, I also recommend ad-blockers and paying for media services which eliminate advertisements (Pandora, Netflix, etc.). This helps provide a more distraction-free environment and helps maintain a low-distraction life.

VPNs are part of a badly broken security model: the perimeter defense model. It doesn't work very well at small scales, definitely does not scale for large enterprises and generally creates a lot of misunderstandings that result in bad security decisions.

Google had a segmented perimeter defense model for several years, but has spent the last five years or so getting rid of it. The VPNs aren't entirely gone, but nearly so. You now have to get special permission to run a service that requires VPNs to access.

The perimeter defense model is based on the notion that it's possible to build a network that is physically secure and which contains only trusted, managed systems. The assumption is that any machine connected to the network is inherently trusted to some degree, and has access to some potentially-sensitive resources merely by virtue of being connected.

The problem is that it's cost-prohibitive to build a physically-secure network, and a management nightmare to try to ensure that only trusted systems can be connected to it. 802.11X authentication, which requires every device that connects to perform a cryptographic authentication, can help keep unauthorized devices off the network but it doesn't prevent sniffing or impersonation, and can't prevent compromised devices from exploiting the trust they're given.

That last point is a really telling one, because if you assume that there's some ambient authority available to any device on the network, you inevitably end up granting that ambient authority permission to access resources that only a subset of the connected devices should actually have. Also, for all of the systems that require more authorization than the ambient authority, you still have to have some sort of login system, either per application, or else build out some sort of single sign-on infrastructure.

The solution is a zero-trust network, where no device is assumed to have any authority merely by virtue of being connected, and all connections are end-to-end authenticated and encrypted. Then, a compromised device still can only access the resources that it is supposed to be able to access, because it doesn't have authorization for anything else. It also means there's no need to try to keep unauthorized devices off the network, and no worry about attackers having physical access to the network (other than DoS concerns). This approach does increase the importance of keeping all "legitimate" devices on the network secured and patched, but that really has to be done anyway.

Google's calls its version of this approach BeyondCorp. It's build around a set of proxies which take responsibility for user authentication and identification. User devices connect to the proxy (in the case of web apps it's a literal HTTPS proxy) and strongly authenticate themselves with username, password and two-factor auth token. The proxy then has an already strongly-secure connection to the backend system the user is trying to reach, and it forward's the user's request to the backend with the user's identity (in an HTTP header, for web requests). The backend (or a service it delegates to) can then decide whether the user is authorized to connect and use the service, and if so which parts of the service the user can use, what data the user can see, etc.

The approach divides authentication from authorization, doing the first in the proxy and the latter in the backend that knows what different users are allowed to do. The backend doesn't have to know anything about user authentication, meaning as authentication needs and approaches change, they can all be implemented in the client and proxy, without touching the backends. Meanwhile the proxy doesn't know anything about authorization; it's a backend-agnostic, general-purpose single sign-on service. And, of course, all connections are encrypted and authenticated, all the time.

What all of this means to Google employees is that there is exactly zero difference bet

Their new mobile browser Firefox Focus is actually quite good, and has replaced Chrome as my main mobile browser. It's much faster than their regular Firefox app, and is configured to block ads and trackers by default.

The "I" circle vs the green lock indicates it is not an EV cert, and is typically how an HTTPS site looks when accepting your own certificate signed by another key you made your browser trust.

Google says you're wrong.

You do realize that they don't manipulate their currency right?.. that has been proven many MANY times over.

  And its not a matter of respecting IP that's the issue.. The larger cause for concern is basically an espionage group having the ability to review and possibly steal/alter code. IP is stolen all the time.. (from everyone)..

And a blanket embargo won't do anything other than make the local citizens hurt.. (its not like wages rise as fast as COL).. And salaries have been depressed for the last 30 years.

Actually, the value of their currency is defined by the central bank which is controlled by the government. It has been well documented that they have manipulated their currency. As AC said: "The RMB is a managed float and by definition is manipulated by the central bank to fulfill the "managed". That doesn't even consider the impacts of other policies they institute, such as those on foreign/domestic investment."

As far as IP theft goes, please show me the Chinese product or military hardware stolen by the US and put into production to damage Chinese business. Drawing equivalence between the US keeping tabs on the world for security purposes and China stealing IP at a massive rate from every successful business on the planet for the purpose of undercutting them and boosting their own economy is not justified by the facts, to the point of being an assinine assertion.

China's economy is what fuels their military and their government. Their booming economy https://www.google.com/search?...: is the only reason that they have not democratized long ago, in similar fashion to the USSR. When things get bad enough for the citizenry, they start to rebel. When a country can't feed it's army, it either disbands, or overthrows the government.

Can Orion Slave Girls photosynthesize?

Reminds me of a guy who thought Google couldn't find out what he was searching because he used https://www.google.com./

It's crazy how few people know this. 12 fl oz of orange juice contains slightly more carbohydrates as a can of Coke Classic:

12 fl oz Coke = 36.05
12 fl oz O.J. = 38.4

I'm a Type 1 diabetic, and when I have bouts of hypoglycemia, the Dr. recommends I drink orange juice if I don't have any glucose tablets handy for this very reason.
