The ATC was very much aware of the launch in progress[0]. The ATC made a mistake by instructing DL480 to fly a more northern route than the aircrew originally filed.

Seriously though, how out-of-touch do you have to be to think that entire organizations full of smart people are so incompetent as to have 100% bloat?
Could you lay off 50% of Google today and still have a functional, competitive product tomorrow? Yes.
Would you still have a functional, competitive product in 2 years? No.
Deep cuts will also signal to employees and competitors that blood is in the water. Any remaining loyalty would evaporate and MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, & META would all be eager to scoop up that talent to build competing products to Google Search & Ads and bolster their cloud & AI offerings.

How do you handle versioning? Are there any guidelines/rules one must abide by?
It looks like you using Flutter's Dart<=>JSON serialization; do you recommend using built_value for immutable data structures?
Do you support protobuf/cap'n'proto?
L3 is entry-level for fresh college grads.
That's a dangerous, biased assumption.
While I'm 100% positive the details of operational concerns like this are classified, there are 2 distinct types of submarines today with 2 different objectives:
1) Attack Submarines (e.g. Los Angeles-class & Virginia-class for USN) which usually roam within a designated operations area, surveilling, tracking, and generally keeping tabs on other nations' surface & sub-surface fleet dispositions. These subs typically have multi-week sorties and may intermittently surface for surveillance & comms.
2) Ballistic Missile Submarines aka "Boomers" (e.g. Ohio-class for USN) which are given a strategic area in which to operate and their objective is to remain silent & undetected, waiting for the hopefully-never-coming order to launch their SLBMs. These subs usually have multi-month sorties and often don't surface until the end of their patrol.

UniFi Protect[0] is a decent on-prem solution and has all the main features of Nest/Ring. Certainly expensive though, minimal system for a doorbell cam is $199 for the camera[1] + $199 for the smallest NVR[2].

1) This is solved by 2 interlocking concepts: comprehensive tests & pre-submit checks of those tests. Upgrading a version shouldn’t break anything because any breaking changes should be dealt with in the same change as the version bump.
2) Google’s monorepo allows for visibility restrictions and publicly-visible build targets are not common & reserved for truly public interfaces & packages.
3) “Code churn” is a very uncharitable description of day-to-day maintenance of an active codebase.
Google has invested heavily in infrastructural systems to facilitate the maintenance and execution of tests & code at scale. Monorepos are an organizational design choice which may not work for other teams. It does work at Google.
In sidemount diving, each diver carries two completely independent tanks & regulators, one on each side of their body.
While it is used primarily in cave diving because it is more streamlined and less likely to collide with cave ceilings and features, I find it also quite comfortable for recreational dives with a pair of AL40s.
It’s also a fun conversation starter with other divers who are curious about my gear!
Would love to see your set up!
If you’re only getting 500qps out of Netty something is deeply wrong with your set up. I’ve written multiple HTTP & socket servers based on Netty (albeit 6+ years ago) and they all could handle 20kqps+.
I tried to file a report with video evidence from the car 2 years ago. I was never able to get through to anyone at the police who would take the report, just passed to a voicemail and no one ever called back or acknowledged the report.
FYI, any email-ish looking value works. E.g.: afdasdf@gfgs.com
It was also built to allow the U.S. Army to rapidly move convoys of trucks, tanks, & materiel around the U.S.[0].

YouTube used to use a MySQL-based system called Vitess[0]. It no longer uses it and has migrated to Spanner.
At least in FL, slab-on-grade with concrete block for the first story + wood frame for additional stories is incredibly common because it is far less susceptible to termite & moisture rot damage than slab + wood frame or wooden pier + beam.

This product seems very similar to Motif.com, which shutdown about a year ago. How do you plan to avoid sharing their fate?
5+ yrs @ Google, Google is my 5th company.
Google has all the building blocks for great backend services and front-end development and, if you know where to look and have some experience with them, you can build a rock-solid product in <6mos, also assuming you have a team that can execute and the political will to ship it.
Politics/consensus building is where the real roadblocks lie in Google, and presumably other large companies. Trying to make high-level product & technical decisions when you have 10 stakeholders with 3 VPs, all in different orgs, is serious exercise in patience; months of emails & meetings await you.
I believe you’re referring to “Notecards”. In the US they come in 2 common sizes: 5”x7” & 4”x6”
Compose can also be implemented easily:
extension NullableExtensions<T> on T? {
R? map<R>(R Function(T) transform) => this == null ? null : transform(this!);
}
V Function(V) compose<V>(Iterable<V Function(V)> functions) =>
functions.reduce((composedFunction, function) {
return (V value) => composedFunction(function(value));
});
num add3(num val) => val + 3;
num multiplyBy10(num val) => val * 10;
num subtract5(num val) => val - 5;
final doABunchOfMath = compose([add3, subtract5, multiplyBy10]);
final optionallyDoABunchOfMath = (num? value) => value.map(doABunchOfMath);
doABunchOfMath(10); // 98
optionallyDoABunchOfMath(10); // 98
optionallyDoABunchOfMath(null); // null
In effect, int? is almost nearly Option<int>, except you cannot represent Option<Option<int>> with Dart's nullable syntax.

My recommendation is to hone your "soft skills": make sure you're on top of communication (be quick to respond to clients and don't let emails sit for more than 24 hours), be patient (working with clients means a wide variety of team dynamics and work paces), be humble yet confident (clients like help but they also want to "be right"), and prepare for the politics inevitably dumped onto outside consultants (consultants often are called in to make hard calls that internal teams don't want to make for political reasons).
