If its a 7.something, you more than likely got thrown out of the bed, which for most people is going to wake them up big time, no need for an alert on your phone.

I have been using GCP/BQ heavily for 7+ years now and we're GCP native at my current company for nearly 5 years.

Google's penchant for deprecating products is a constant worry for me, particularly our insane reliance on BQ. While BQ StandardSQL is close enough, lifting and shifting to something like AWS or Azure's cloud warehouse tooling would definitely be a headache.

That said, with their deep integration w/GA4 reporting and continued development of BQ, I am guessing they make enough money (particularly after their 25% price increase for on-demand) that it'll stay around for another few years.

Fingers crossed because, honestly, I don't want to have to deal with management of our warehouse and BQ makes it easy for us not to worry about that at all.

Perhaps thats already in the works.. I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra, and I just recieved a notice of a recall from Hyundai USA to "upgrade the anti-theft software". Of course, when I called a local Hyundai dealership to see about scheduling an appointment to have the upgrade done, they didn't have a clue about the recall. I even scanned the letter I recieved and emailed it to them. Will try one of the other dealers.

I think this might be a push for actual paid reviewers (i.e., scientists who get paid for the review, and can be fired for not doing their job). It may up the price of subscribing to scientific journals, but honestly I think this outcome would be preferred over what's in place right now. Plus, it would expand the market for many Ph.Ds in an over-saturated academic job market.

But just as easily/quickly they changed that clause in their TOS, they can, just as quickly/easily change it back when we're not looking. Unless you monitor/read these companies TOS continually, they can change this ANYTIME THEY WANT... Someone mentioned the fix... DON'T USE ZOOM.. period.

In Las Vegas, there is the "Resort Corridor" and then there's everywhere else.. Having lived here
since 1996, I spend 99.999% of my time in the "everywhere else"...

Sun? CHECK... Wind? CHECK... Nuclear? Huh? Unless you mean the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. But I'm sorry to say they don't generate any electricity out there...

Same here.. In 1994, I was working for a company that decided they wanted a prescence on the
new-fangled internet. Since we were a Novell shop, some of the other tech guys wanted to buy a high end 486DX2 or one of the very new 5 volt Pentiums, slap Novell Netware 3.11 on it and install the pricey ($400) httpd nlm, I pointed out to the suits that going that route would be about $1500 MORE in software cost than my suggestion of using this new Linux I'd been evaluating. I slapped together one of our "white-box" 486DX2 desktops with an install of Slackware, setting up a webserver and anonymous ftp server and put a trivial webpage on it and showed the suits.. About this time, it was discovered that the Novell httpd nlm did NOT include ftp functionality, which would be an additional charge.. Suits were suitably impressed and we went with Linux. A new "white-box" Pentium machine was purchased, with suitable ram/diskspace, and a T1 connection was ordered. When I left the company in early 1995, the server was still serving the company..

Been a Linux fan ever since..

The official app only allows you to block 1000 accounts. On a site with millions of users. They don't tell you clearly that's the reason; the app just gives an arbitrary error message in 99% of cases.

That's shitty design and operation intended to stop you from blocking all of their advertisers.

Where is the money going?

Unnecessary layers of process complexity and upper management/C-level bonuses.

Apparently I don't know how to post links anymore. Here's what it was supposed to say: under the EU's regulatory microscope.

Well, Adobe is trying to purchase Figma but is running into regulatory concerns. Their entire reason for making this free to students is to hopefully drown out the negative attention from it being .

That said, Figma is not intended to be an Adobe replacement. Adobe is attempting to buy it to bring it into the fold so that they have a more robust collaborative UI design toolkit.

They're called taxes and infrastructure subsidies. The problem here, oversimplified, are twofold:

1. We already paid "Big Telco" billions for infrastructure and they pissed it away.

2. We allow all companies to not pay their fair share and thus the revenues are down.

Governing and taxation are broken.

There really isn't any reason at all to link to a site that has a wall when the same information is available elsewhere.
