Unless you speak Japanese, you are interacting with a small minority of people that care about interacting with people outside of Japan. Most people living there think it's great to fine, but still better than other countries and especially their neighbors.
The best analogy I can think of is asking a non passport holding American why don't they learn Japanese to attract business from one of the largest economies in the world.
But Americans still didn’t learn Japanese en mass when it looked like Japanese manufacturing was going to conquer the world. Just like they didn’t learn Chinese.
Learning a new language as an adult is incredibly difficult. I have learned Spanish to a basic conversational level and it has been a massive struggle for me.
My Swiss and German friends seem to pick up new languages super easily though. Likely this is because they learned a second, third, or even fourth language as children.
So, not impossible but it is good to acknowledged that this isn’t an easy thing to do and likely would be a generational shift kind of thing.
They have a very advanced and large economy (fourth in the world by size). Their problem is labor shortage, due to being one of the oldest nation in the world. They've already outsourced a ton of work, because there just isn't enough working age people in Japan to do all the work of their export-centered economy. If anything, they need to attract workforce (immigrants), not more businesses.
Interestingly, Japanese "learn" English in high school.
Most of them can read and write it passably, but can't speak it confidently and as per culture, if they can't do it perfectly they don't want to do it at all.
Do they even need to “attract business” there? Seems to me that as a developed country they have plenty of business of their own. And there are subsidiaries of western companies there. Yahoo is pretty big, and Google has a large office in Roppongi Hills.
It's just not a great investment option. ~1k hours of English is mandatory in Japanese K-12 education, and that takes one from nothing to at best infantile two-word sentences. People says usability from there takes another 1.5k, 3k, 10k hour rules apply, etc. All that to be an average immigrant tech worker rarely make sense.
Apologies don’t mean anything from a c-level suit (George Kurtz) that has known history of causing outages. The culture at crowdstrike of being accountable is a facade.
I agree with @metaltyphoon on this. Even for small teams, a managed version of Kubernetes takes away most of the pain. I've used both ECS+Fargate and Kubernetes, but these days, I prefer Kubernetes mainly because the ecosystem is way bigger, both vendor and open source. Most of the problems we run into are always one search or open source project away.
Are you assuming the workloads have to use K8s APIs? Where is this coming from? If that’s not the case can you actually explain with a concrete example?
Man, you don't need to use service mesh just because you use k8s. Istio is a very advanced component that 99% of users don't need.
So if you are going to compare with a managed solution, compare with something equivalent. Take a bare managed cluster and add a single Deployment to it, it will be no more complex than ECS, while giving you much better developer ergonomics.
There is some similar Kpi's of course as it's the mains ones.
The advantages:
- you also have KPI's from google analytics in the same dashboard
- Custom metrics/dimensions to analyze your queries and content (Divide your content or keyword by their clic performance or position performance). It allows you to see how your website is progressing and to see which content are in each category.
- A lot more graphs than in Google search console. You can visualise everything a lot quicker and in an easier way. You're not anymore limited.
- Customizable : If you need one specific graph you can just add it in the dashboard so you still get EVERYTHING you need in the same place :)
Forgot to mention ! I'll also try to add a page with CoreWebVitals, as it's directly link to SEO. But I'm afraid It might be to technical to track for some people as it need some configuration in Google Tag Manager. What do you think?
(All people who bought the dashboard will receive an email when there is an update so they can take it too)
There’s a lot of fluff, that boils down to “we tested the code in march”, “we did not test subsequently”, “we validate the content we push”, and “there was a defect in the content validation process”
Correct. It sounds like they test changes to code in such a facilty, but “content” is only validated by a parser. Mcafee did something similar a decade ago.
It’s a hard problem - the whole point of Crowdstrike is to quickly respond to threats. (And they are very good at it) So you want time to market for marginal changes to be very fast. Normally I’d give them the benefit of the doubt, but their arrogance and poor response triggers my spidey-sense.
MS just provided theirs, it's a bad architecture issue where CS overused the kernel mode, and should have instead done a listener in the kernel and logic in User land.
