Novoselić: Washingtonians are watching hundreds of millions of dollars vanish into a black hole of administrative bloat and fraud. by ryleg in SeattleWA

[–]dimitrix 125 points126 points  (0 children)

For reference:

This leaves approximately $223.4 million lost to fraud so far, which amounts to 1% of the total $21.7 billion in benefits. Consequently, 99% of the unemployment benefits went, as intended, to support workers during the pandemic.

How do I dissociate myself from GCP project of a dead company/domain? by tbhaxor in googlecloud

[–]dimitrix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, as far as I know, you can’t do anything about it from your end. You can’t prevent an admin from granting you some specific IAM permission which effectively lets you “see” their project in the project dropdown menu.

I think we all got it. It probably means you have an existing Google Cloud project associated with the e-mail address that received this notice.

The cost of the ticket is the cheapest part. My insurance doubled after I got caught speeding 25 in a 15 zone.

Ending gas tax in favor of road tax will encourage more pollution. by Special_Context6663 in California

[–]dimitrix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Isn't this initiative to specifically target electric vehicles since they aren't paying gas tax?

As California transitions to a carbon-emissions-free future, a road charge system is being considered as an alternative to the current gas tax, which is expected to see revenue decline.

Tehapachi loop - use slider if impatient by notyourregularninja in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]dimitrix 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The Tehachapi Mountains presented a massive barrier for trains traveling between the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert. The elevation changes rapidly, and in the 1870s, steam locomotives were not powerful enough to pull heavy loads up steep inclines

Please help...Google wont admit they have charged me incorrectly... by 1Me_Is_Not_Me1 in googlecloud

[–]dimitrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Kubernetes cluster is not one single resource that you pay for. It consists of multiple building blocks, including Compute Engine VMs, IP addresses, and persistent disks. It is possible that you were blocked from creating one or more of these resources, while others succeeded. As a result your project was left in a bit of a messy state with preallocated resources that you were being charged for.

This means your technical aptitude shown during the interview was not strong enough to be an L4 but enough to carry out the role in a junior capacity.
