5 wowsWow, Google deleted the whole thing
> Google Cloud CEO confirmed the (week-long) disruption arose from an unprecedented sequence of events whereby an inadvertent misconfiguration ... resulted in the deletion of UniSuper’s Private Cloud subscription
> UniSuper had duplication in place in two geographies, to ensure that if one service goes down, it can be easily restored .... but (Google's misconfiguration) caused the deletion across both geographies
> UniSuper was able to eventually restore services because they had backups with another provider

3 wowsLmao I shared last month that I got promoted but didn’t get a raise, well… 3% raise but this was before they knew I got promoted. Going from an IC to a manager and owning all marketing design for our sub brands. No raise.
I pushed back, my new manager agreed, my skip-level SVP agreed, they did some research on wages for my new title and offered 50th percentile which aligned with what I wanted - 7% raise… and the CEO disagrees. Too many people asked for a raise and our sales projections don’t allow for it. DENIED. This company prints money but oh well.
I just got a DM from my SVP while I’m on vacation saying my raise was denied. -

3 wowsI've been watching this blow up almost first hand. My start-up is in the Australian super sector and in fact we're actually meeting with uni super on Monday to show them our product, after they had knocked the meeting back a few times because this fire needed to be put out.
Something that the articles about this don't capture is that the funds themselves don't actually hold the money, that's with another company called a trust. Likewise the actual member management software lives with yet another company called an administrator. Once you take both of those aspects out of the company then all you're really left with is the marketing arm of promoting the fund. They often run on top of Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics.
I guess where I'm going with this is that Google was very, very lucky in this case. What likely got deleted was things like the website, supporting databases for powering the site (e.g. a CMS). They wouldn't have deleted the database tracking user contributions for example. -
2 wowsTyson / Jake Paul 'Fight'
I got the VIP ticket email. Rows 1/2 $20k / seat, Rows 3/4 $7500, Rows 5/6 $5k, and a $2,000,000 seat package for 10 special super up close seats. Rows 1-4 get post fight photo op in the ring, the $2m package gets Tyson and Jake Paul meet and greet.
Anyway those two guys are going to make so much money -
