Please accept that my intention is that of a hopefully helpful stranger. The opinions stated here are my own, and I'm never _trying_ to be an asshole but HN brings it out in all of us, but especially you.
Three effective ways to reach me are: Twitter @yourfondestlove, personal email doug@favorite.cat, or work email douglasdollars@google.com
- Release notes: https://cloud.google.com/release-notes
- GCP Blog: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp
A public GCP roadmap is also in longer plans but there's a few internal flows we want to improve first. I'm especially trying to reduce the number of sites people need to visit, and want to ultimately see it land in a common place where authenticated users also see the non-public / NDA aspects.
And seconding this advice on access. If you are a GCP customer, your account manager is able to add your account for access. My contact info is in my profile and I can reach your account team if you have difficulties.
Additionally, you can also get this information in the public release notes https://cloud.google.com/release-notes twice-monthly GCP newsletter, and for G Suite administrators in their news area. "Sigh."

This is nonsesne, or at least was here in Sunnyvale California. I walked in with a phone bill. No ID, nothing else. In hindsight it probably could have been anyone's bill, or even a fake.
This is an example from https://rework.withgoogle.com/guides/

- Anyone can view the site and its content
- Very clearly putting their rules of the road up (link above) before you can 'join'
- Commenting/posting/membership is a $5, one time fee
- A one-week wait before you can post
- Paid moderation
And it works.
Assistant calling and Duplex appointment booking were both available within the year, across most of the United States, but you claim neither work.
I'm not the to make commitments but our history has been solid, and our deprecation policy is embedded in our terms of service for every Cloud user.
The only product I can remember us deprecating in GCP was Prediction API in favor of the much-preferred Cloud Machine Learning Engine, and with that came communication to every single affected admin and a _year_ before cut-off.

One area I've found helpful is focusing on sources of clarity. With the volume of information/data of all levels of quality becoming so abundant to the point of being overwhelming, and that volume used to influence, the more I can identify the answer to these two points with what is being shoved my way, the better I feel about what I do ultimately select:
- What supposed truth is this information trying to uphold or undermine?
- Is this information trying to make me more or less active on the previous point?
Increasingly I'm getting out of the habit of accepting "I've heard something like this a LOT lately" as a positive sign of influence or motivation toward a next step. Any idiot can buy out the podcast ad inventory to sell their buddy's brain genius pills, it doesn't make consumption wise.
(The poster linked to their own blog post, so maybe they'll add their own opinion to either, rather than summarizing two quotes from David Allen.)
and setting date format there useful. Not sure if it's a universal setting like the previous, though.
- visit https://myaccount.google.com/language
- click on (re-choose) English
- click on New Zealand as the 'sub-language'
should set your locale across the board, rather than doing it on a per-sheet basis. If it doesn't work, as a Canadian, I empathize with your troubles and apologize.
