[I am a Cloud SQL-er, and worked on region expansion... among other things]

Cloud SQL has only been available in regions with at least three zones (since we believe that is the minimum to make sure we can maintain HA in the event of a single zone failure). asia-southeast1 currently only has two zones, when a third zone is launched, Cloud SQL will become available in that region.

[Cloud SQL person, SSL+connections is my jam]

When you say you couldn't get the root certs to work... what do you mean?

Cloud SQL automatically generates server certificates, and we offer UI+API for creating additional client certificates. The two should not share a root CA.

Was this for a software engineering role? I've never been asked this, and I'm pretty sure during interview training you are explicitly told not to ask those sorts of questions.

We run twemproxy over about a terabyte of data in Redis, and haven't had any problems...

These seem pretty cool, do you know if there is any English documentation for them?

People have a vested interest in thinking their success is the product of their own hard work...

When I interviewed at Google 5 years ago they weren't using those brainteasers.

There are many posts online about the actual, CS-y questions that you can expect in a Google interview, I had just assumed that the mentions of brainteasers were merely urban legend.

If that is the case, then why do Asians underperformed compared to Whites? If affirmative action is meant to help underrepresented groups, shouldn't the overrepresented group be the one "taking the hit"?

I think making Now API-interactable would just beg for spammy popups. Mobile is already a maelstrom of apps trying to promote themselves, or getting paid to promote others.

Well, on iOS since the only real way to execute code is from their app store, its much harder to attack the client code. Android can not do so, so there needs to be defense in depth to protect against that.

It used to be an optional upgrade.
