well the CCC crowd has many years of experience on their belt dealing with the absurd amount of traffic that only a nerd conference can sustain - and they do all of it on their own, the only thing the venue has to give them are rooms, power and fiber uplinks. CCC erects a whole damn ass datacenter and tears it down in a few days, that's a massive expense both financially and in volunteer time. Oh and on top of that comes all the video streaming and recording infrastructure, that stuff is rivaling actual large TV networks from what I hear.
In contrast, for almost all other venues, providing networking is the responsibility of their owner, and they plan their networking gear not for the "one conference to rule them all" but for your everyday trade show.
The video team has a wiki [1] and the NOC a few photos on mastodon [2]. There used to be at least one more detailed report but FFS Google is useless these days.
it's also not like the Viking refrigerator will last appreciably longer than a cheaper make... their warranties can be noticeably shorter than their competitors even though they somehow charge 2x-10x the price.
if you have investments at fidelity you can just use the brokerage account as cash management. the brokerage account can access funds using a debit card and ACH just fine; I do still recommend opening a CMA for ATM fee reimbursements though.
none of these funds availability problems can happen if you have margin enabled; note that you won't pay any margin interest either as funds on hold are tradable immediately.
What I learned recently is the way Python strptime deals with this. It only parses the current time zone or "GMT" or "UTC" and all have the same effect (of returning a tz-naive object). This behavior is amazing because I don't think it's ever what you want.
Realtor is a trademarked term for members of the National Association of Realtors. You essentially can't use the term Realtor to describe anything you're doing unless you're a member. They do actively enforce this with lawyers. Google: "realtor vs real estate agent"
huh? users can still use takeout. this just stops third party apps from enumerating all of your photos
why would they need to do that anyway? I wholeheartedly agree with "If your app relies on accessing the user's entire library, you may need to re-evaluate your app".
An app which backs up your photos should support incremental backup, or even background backup. Hell: Google's own app is designed around the premise that it can iterate and automatically upload all of the photos on your mobile phone, not just ones it created or ones manually chosen! Imagine if Apple decided to simply entirely remove the ability to grant an app access to your photo library (as opposed to merely providing alternative options to limit what photos are visible, as they do)... clearly Google should "re-evaluate" their app as well :/.
So you are saying there is another Google API which provides the same functionality? I don't understand. If there is, why isn't this article simply suggesting people use that?
(Otherwise, I feel like you are just muddying up the discussion by trying to focus on the branding of specific APIs on different platforms rather than on what functionality is being offered, as if it matters what the APIs are called. Again: if I want to run an app--as many people do--which can incrementally slurp up all of my photos from Google Photos to store elsewhere, I should get to do so, the same way Google writes an app that slurps up all photos in my iOS photos library. If Google wants to shut down access to photos stored in their system without at least acknowledging the hypocrisy, that's pretty awful of them.)
Never understood the appeal of "take as much control from user as possible" for shorts. Maybe I wouldnt actively hate it if it allowed basic playback control, but for some reason Youtube thinks thats not cool anymore.
If you want to go back on YouTube Shorts you just pause the short and swipe at the bottom (on mobile) and on desktop you don’t even have to pause first, you can just hover the scrubber and drag it around.
This did used to suck, but it’s been more a case of the YouTube Shorts player being very behind TikTok and the regular YouTube player and they’ve only slowly made changes. I would argue they took too long to make these QoL improvements, but they did make them.
I am ashamed to admit that, once or twice, I was curious enough to want to rewind an ad, but that does seem impossible. (Thankfully, commenting on them is impossible as well.)
That is somewhat strange since, if the ad was useful, you'd might wanna watch it again. In theory.
Like, there is no 'ad viewing history' either.
I guess the ad industry does not care about useful at all nowadays.
Older commercials was filled with stats, properties and arguments. Like a TV shop channel. Nowadays it mainly seems to be some Amazon sellers that try to convince you with that tactic.
