I get ads in my youtube premium music. The support just said "yes".
I now pay for spotify so I don't get ads in music and still youtube premium for no ads in youtube documentaries. The second I start seeing regular ads I'll drop dropping them as fast as I can clickety click.
In a fury, I also managed to cancel all of our work google accounts. Only a few hundred but if enough do maybe someone at google might look up from their leetcode puzzle and listen to a customer.
Why so? You don't see ads in Google's enterprise products. The GP cancelled their business subscription because of an issue with their personal account. Also it's a very good product and the competition is Microsoft, which is not much better.
You’ll have fun with the occasional „recommendation“ pop-ups Spotify shows to paying subscribers. Did you know you can pay them to rank higher in the algorithm and that a lot of the big playlists do the same?
Spotify is actively trying to enshittify the podcast ecosystem, so you’ve jumped from one bad actor to another.
I’ve found that Apple Music and Tidal are both superior to it anyway (and you can automatically move your library between those three services, and more).
I prefer Tidal because the recommendations are ridiculously good for niche genres. I think they take things like producers, labels, etc into account.
This great for others, I jumped right into Claude and it was giving me better answers for the code I was working on. But, Claude quickly said 'too overloaded' and stopped so I jumped onto Gemini. Which in google style, is kinda average but up.
Americans have been getting richer and richer according to most recent studies. At the same time, other socialist countries are getting, on average, poorer. I think you may be confusing social inequality with overall wealth.
Facebook already made a statement sayings it's against their terms of use.
There is not much you can do if the morally corrupt use something that is out in the public, specially if it is out in the wild west of license enforcement.
Most of this more open licensing depends on people being honest. If someone lies, cheats, steals and kills people for a living, it would expected for them to take someone else's work and use it against the terms of use. They probably just say the obligation as it does not count in their country.
I wonder, at what point, the accounting department works out a market becomes unprofitable and Google withdraws. I guess it's good for some local company to take up the reigns. Maybe that's the long term goal of the EU regulation?
Whatever that point is, it's not in any case relevant to the case at hand. The EU hasn't actually levied that many fines on Google. I think it's three significant cases total in the lifetime of the company, none this decade? (Shopping results in search in 2017, Android in 2018, Ads in 2019, the total fines were about 8B euros). Those numbers are big, and enough to act as a deterrent, but even if I've forgotten about some additional case,m they can't be anywhere near big enough to leave a market where they must be making >10B/year in profit.
You're just thinking it's been more frequent than that, because you keep reading reporting on the same fines over and over, as the case works its way through appeals.
And in case it makes you feel any better, based on these comments you're not the only one getting fooled into thinking that this is news rather than a case that ended in 2017.
That is why it is just speculation. A lot of people go 'Google will leave that market if it is a hassle', as long as they can make a buck they will stay. That is a lot of fines to pay before it makes much difference.
Unethical entities being held to account is a good thing, not a bad one. Even the spineless US government is finally reaching their tolerance point and preparing to break Google up.
All the Casandra documentation and web site say it is a database. You can't blame anyone from getting confused. In my experience, I have never seen a project that started to use it, continue to use it after a year or so it may take a year to run into its limitations before having to replace it, with a database, like Postgres.
Things are pretty specialised and RF before you need a 100K oscilloscope.
I have a 500MHz DSO, 16 channel logic analyser, 10 digit GPS locked frequency counter, 5 digit bench multimeter and a 2GHz AWG and I think it's not even 10K.
(I'd love 250K of test equipment all the same LOL).
I'm not going to make any assertions as to who is right, but some of the assertions in this reddit post conflict with the data from the other articles.
> there are no photos or eyewitness accounts.
The other resources provide satellite images of excavations and eyewitness accounts from Ukrainian hunters and biologists.
Anyway. Do your own research, come to your own conclusions.
The Olympiad questions are puzzles, so you can't memorise the answers. To do well you need to both remember the foundations and exercise reasoning.
They are written to be slightly novel to test this and not the same every year.
