For me the problem is that they usually don't reach a good maturity level, but the idea in my opinion is very important. To mention the 90s again, you could do in one day an internal app using MS Access. Now if you want it with web interface, you have to think about front-end, back-end, database, devops. It is just too much for when you want a simple thing.

It is affecting app engine deployments also.

Android but it used to be iOS until 5 years ago. It feels more connected to Google services, which I'm a big user, and not to mention the price in my local market.

I wonder if it is legal for someone to inherit a Google account, since it is personal. The same for Amazon account or any other. Can someone inherit a Google account for the Email and Photos history, as well for books on Google Play and any other purchase? Can someone inherit a Kindle Account? Of course they can have access with user and password, but if these companies are still on the market 50 years from now I wonder if they will start deleting accounts from people supposedly with 110 years and over.

AWS should pay a special Enterprise agreement to companies like MongoDB and Timescale so they could really host and resell the product. It would be good for users and license owners, and I guess for AWS also. GCP and Azure would soon follow.

That is an interesting test I wanted to see for some time. When Timestream came out I was a bit surprised by its price. It might work well for Enterprise POC but for larger use the cost benefit is not appealing.

I personally don't mind about it. And also, credit card companies knew our location many years earlier. Technology benefits will come with this trade off.

I think it is OK. The problem is how they did not predict they would not be able to keep the product as is. So a lot of people created a dependency on it. The app itself will need to change. It is now the official photo backup app. Now it will have to come by default disabled or it will incur costs. Also, it should be tied to better Google One offerings.

I agree that is confusing. I actually liked to be able to share a folder from my Photos inside Drive, with other people. But after the Backup and Sync I think it got even more confusing as for example if a picture would go to a file folder or Google Photos folder. Anyway, my most expected feature is 1080p 60 FPS and 4K.

True for Brazil. SMS are ignored by a lot of people.

That is an interesting point. The reason I don't subscribe to NYT and WSP is that they don't have a 1-click cancel option.

When is WSJ I don't even click anymore.

Did Google know Tableau could also be acquired? I wonder how powerful this acquisition would be for Google Cloud instead of Looker.

This is also my view

Nice to read without the digital marketing beautification or "doomization" from the headlines

One point, not mentioning if big companies like Amazon are a problem or not, is that this is a market with higher income, coming to a city with a very high living cost. So in my view these companies are moving to NY because they can afford paying employees that want to live in NYC.

I usually look for what kind of problems will it solve and how it will make the development process faster and/or less costly.

Interesting independent report showing the non obvious reasons why Red Hat has so much value to IBM.

Even on a social network such as Facebook, a minority creates content. By creating I mean taking their time to write something or post their own photos. Most just share links. For a website like reddit or any other kind of site relying on user content, you can see that as an opportunity. It's not that 97% are not posting. It's that your user base attracts 30 times more other users to consume the content and therefore giving you great traffic.

It's interesting how so many people criticize this family that is making tens of millions every year. If that is wrong, they should start with TV Shows in which children that are much more exposed and sometimes not having fun doing what they want, make actually a 6 fig salary. Too many grow to be poor and lost adults. At 7 Ryan has enough money for a comfort life.

"IMAGINE IT’S 2022: America’s confrontational economic policies have continued, and China has refused to yield. Huawei and ZTE have been banned from the networks of the US and key Western allies. Through investment and theft, Beijing has reduced its reliance on US semiconductors. Rival tech superpowers have failed to develop common standards. US and Chinese academics increasingly deposit their cutting-edge AI research in government safes instead of sharing it at international conferences. Other countries—like France and Russia—have tried to build homegrown technology industries centered on AI, but they lag far behind.

The world’s nations can commit to American technology: buying Apple phones, using Google search, driving Teslas, and managing a fleet of personal robots made by a startup in Seattle. Or they can commit to China: using the equivalents built by Alibaba and Tencent, connecting through the 5G network constructed by Huawei and ZTE, and driving autonomous cars built by Baidu. The choice is a fraught one. If you are a poor country that lacks the capacity to build your own data network, you’re going to feel loyalty to whoever helps lay the pipes at low cost. It will all seem uncomfortably close to the arms and security pacts that defined the Cold War."

This will greatly affect the trend of the world on going open source.

I agree, companies like Facebook open source things that are being helpful for them, and in most cases, due to their huge scale, they didn't find anything similar and had to do themselves. For a company to open source its core product it only make sense when you expect to have revenue from enterprise SLAs and custom services, as it is the case of companies like MongoDB and Redhat.

Here in Brazil most carriers also offer social media data for free. On Whatsapp the exception is for voice calls. It would be great (for me, not them LOL) if they included Google Photos.
