This was so fun; thank you! Congrats on getting it licensed!
Readit NewsAm I interpreting this correctly? It sounds like the lawsuit is filed on behalf of at least 6,632 employees. $28,000,000 distributed amongst that many is roughly $4,221.95. That's not even accounting for the law firm's stake. That seems like an absurdly low amount to pay to folks to say "sorry we screwed your career over".
Google can and absolutely should be paying these people more in compensation.

This is probably a dumb question, but what does all cash mean? Does it literally mean that they are putting $32bn in Wiz's bank account (or probably some kind of escrow, who knows) which then gets dispersed to their shareholders?
What usually happens otherwise? Would they do partly google stock, etc? And each shareholder gets some kind of multiple? (you get your N amount of Wiz shares X .72 = your number of google shares), or something of that sort?
Yes. They became billionaires overnight.

The marketing design approach feels very off to me. You barrage me with an annoying scrolling marquee showing me the most abstract, unrecognizable logos telling me I should trust you because they do. 10+ companies on board feels rather small.
You said AI-driven analysis to identify logs, but I'm already skeptical of AI doing tasks like this, and you obfuscate it further by not actually showing me how it works, just another generic abstract marketing design graphic.
I dunno. It just seems like vaporware-as-a-service from the design vibes.

In general the dean of any institution oversees dozens of departments. The CS department chair or department head is the person who actually understands and represents the department and its specific curriculum.
I probably am misremembering then and just use the dean as a generalized title. This was almost 13 years ago. This person was definitely in charge of curriculum, I remember that much, so probably not the dean. Thanks for correcting my misuse of the word.

If you were looking for learning front end development in a CS masters program, I would agree with the dean.
There must be plenty of opportunities to learn that also in USA.
That was just an example, not strictly what I was there for. I just pointed it out to the dean as something that was always mentioned, but glanced over like "ew, this doesn't matter so much".
It, in fact, ended up mattering a lot.

University-taught computer science curriculum is going to have to change drastically.
Disclaimer: I am not a CS degree holder. But I did attempt a masters in software engineering and it was really eye-opening to me to see how far behind "traditional" curriculum was when compared to real-world opportunities. My university completely overlooked things like front-end web development and a host of other modern needs at the time; when I spoke to the dean, he recommended the school might just not be a fit.
So if we're leaving students behind for AI outputs and shutting the door in favor of the old guard, what happens to the new wave? Will schools train them to get to the point of working with systems enough to call bullshit on AI? Are schools even teaching students AI right now?
I ask sincerely just because when I pushed for change in curriculum, I basically was shown the door that led to me dropping out and (thankfully) landing a gig at a startup that opened up another (better) door for me.
Unfortunately, the browsers are one step ahead of you. They already have a way to ignore your DHCP-provided DNS and instead use DoH, which you can't inspect and filter easily, especially since it's over the HTTPS port. There is also a proposal for individual web properties to tell the browser what DNS (DoH) servers should be used for further requests to them, so even blocking a few well-known DoH resolvers could become impossible: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9462/
Ugh. Can't someone please just let us customize how we want to experience the Internet? It seems like a right to repair law. But right to remove. If I know how to take out ads and I want them gone, I should be free to do so.
Who knows what Atlassian will do with it, but I did find it a bit frustrating that in the Atlassian blog announcing the acquisition, they showcase images of Arc when they're specifically talking about Dia. The two browsers do not have UI parity, and much of what I loved about Arc would need to be recreated in Dia.
