7/17    GOOG misses. Net income of $3.92/share vs. expectations of $4.00/share.
        Earnings up 35% compared to same quarter last year.  No guidance on
        future earnings as usual.  I also heard last week that they are
        currently only hiring for essential positions.
        \_ Oh fuck, I need to dump GOOG now
        \_ They over-hired a bunch of dumb shits. "Essential positions"
           means they need to replace super elite programmers who have
           been there a while, vested, and are now beginning to jump
           off the ship. Read Glassdoor, my negative review is there.  -G
           \_ There are a 120 reviews there, can you be a little more specific?
              \_ Not really, I don't want to give myself away. Hint:
                 I'm one of the very top reviewers and you won't miss
                 my entry. Ok bye I think my coworker is watching my
                 screen. It's like Brady Bunch here, no privacy whatsoever. -G
                 \_ You gave it 2 bars?  Higher than I expected from you...
        \_ Great news indeed. Do you think my short is going to be in
           the money soon? -GOOG short 100 guy
           \_ I shoulda shorted it at 700. But I never short anything, I'm
              too scared.

2/24    Go Programming Language.  Anyone here use it?  It kind of
        reminds me of java-meets python, and well, that is fitting given it's
        a GOOG product.  What is so special about it?
        \_ as I understand it, it's a suitable OOP-y systems language with more
           structure than C, less complexity than C++, and less overhead than
           Java/Python.

        Google Wave No More. The people who worked on it were pretty smart.
        They wrote up a super awesome OKR with extremely low bar as a measure
        of success, exceeded everyone's expectations by going above those
        bars, and got big fat bonuses and promotions as a result of their
        planning. Brilliant.

3/1     so given all the compromises (goog + a bunch of other companies),
        is the goog dns safe to use?
        \_ why use it? it's slower than verizon dns (4.2.2.2). also, goog dns
           breaks akamai.

10/27   I just read an article that Facebook had moved their database
        to all SSD to speed throughput, but now I can't find it. Has
        anyone else seen this? Any experience with doing this? -ausman
