Google is offering voluntary exit packages to certain employees within its business division, according to a new report by Business Insider. The move affects select teams in the company’s Global Business Organization (GBO) in the United States.

In an internal email sent on Tuesday, Google’s Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler informed staff that some roles would be eligible for a voluntary exit program, also known as a buyout. The memo, viewed by Business Insider, said the company is starting the year “in a strong position” thanks to employees’ work in 2025. However, Schindler also noted that the environment remains fast-paced and highly competitive.

“The game is dynamic, the pace is electric, and the stakes are high,” he wrote in the message.

Schindler emphasized that everyone in the GBO needs to be fully committed to the company’s mission, especially as Google continues to focus heavily on artificial intelligence. He said employees must be “all in” and ready to embrace AI to create even greater impact.

I'll guess by intersection of Fabian Way with E. Meadow Dr. on either of these 2 streets.

Fabian Way is an office/industrial area near the major 101 freeway with wide streets and plenty of room for the RVs. Seems entirely reasonable to park RVs there. The surrounding office buildings have acres of empty parking lots. I can see if they stay a long time or are broken down and it becomes a shanty town that would be a problem, but given the problem of stupidly high rents pricing people out of homes, this seems a reasonable solution. City could lease an empty office building and allow cars/RVs in the parking lot with services like security, showers and social services in the office building.

practice tactics..don't study openings..

Learning basic variations of even one opening for white and for black can be extremely useful. There's not much tactics in first moves, but knowing how to set up a solid position will help a lot. Just learn basic stuff, no need to go into the weeds too much. Also the names of the openings are pretty cool

Didn't the Unix version have some interesting encryption going on w/ the saved game file circa 1984 +/- 1y?

IIRC it folded in: - the players uid and - the files inode

To prevent the file from being usable by other players, and preventing the user from making a usable copy of it...

Right, the point of being able to save a game was to pick up later where you had left off. However, the game attempted to prevent you from restarting from a saved game if you made a mistake or got killed or something.

I think the scheme was fairly clever but it wasn't terribly sophisticated; nothing like public-key crypto for instance. It did have a number of countermeasures that attempted to prevent cheating, such as restarting from a modified save file. For example, I believe it hashed all the bytes of the file, plus a bunch of metadata -- possibly including the uid and the file's i-number, as you suggest -- and also things like the file modification time and maybe even the i-node change time. Then it would write this hash back into the file. I seem to recall a bit of cleverness to avoid problems because writing the hash could potentially modify things like the file modification time. Maybe it just retried until the modtime didn't change. Not too difficult since the granularity was one second.

In principle this is easy to defeat if you know the hash algorithm, and if you knew how to use the Unix system calls to change a file's modification time. Since the original rogue program was closed source, the hash algorithm was secret. But eventually somebody reverse-engineered it, and programs emerged that were able to successfully copy save files.

Private virtue vs. public virtue

It is incredibly difficult to create frontier settlements.
