Access to change production systems was limited to a single team, which was tasked with doing all deploys by hand, for an engineering organisation of 50+ people. Quickly becoming overloaded, they limited deploy frequency to five deploys per day, organisation-wide.
Rollouts are not made to boil frogs, they are made so that you can test the impact of changes, and crucially, quickly roll undesired changes back. It’s a great technique. This is important when you’re at Google-scale - any small mistakes will impact millions of people. The only realistic way to handle this is to roll changes out and monitor the changes for negative impacts - stuff like crashes and so on.
I agree that what they’re doing is boiling the frog, but rollouts have nothing to do with it.
As with all changes at large tech companies, this change is being rolled out to a subsection of the whole userbase. As such, if you’re not seeing it yet, it might be because you just haven’t gotten into the rollout yet.
Or Firefox and uBlock are still managing to beat the countermeasures, who knows.
Anyway, iirc, 1password is architected in a way where a breach won’t actually disclose the passwords of their users, but I’m too tired to do the requisite double-checking to verify it
It hasn’t really mattered enough for them to spend any engineering time on it before. Zero interest rates are over, though, and money actually kind of means something now. This is just the first move in a chain of many.
A warning for anyone relying on stuff like adblockers for YouTube - it’s not that hard for Google to figure out that we’re doing it, simply query for which users have zero ad impressions. Google also has a certain tendency to permaban Google accounts in violation of their policies and then ignoring all appeals. If you rely on Google accounts for email, photos and the like, this might be the time to plan contingencies.
Personally I’ve started using Piped instead. The lack of recommendations is a bit of a bummer, but in all honesty it was kind of like the switch from Reddit to Lemmy - just had to wean myself off the digital sugar pills.
The Netherlands doesn’t have good bicycle infrastructure because of the fact that the country is relatively flat - they have it because they prioritized safe streets in the 70s following the stop de kindermoord-campaign.
I guess my mortgage could be considered bad debt on account of being adjustable interest rate - this is however the most common type of mortgage arrangement in Sweden where I live. This has led to my interest rate costs going up an eye watering 400% in about a year.
I’ve got ~130k in loans on it. I’m in the privileged position of being able to pay it off fully if the interest rate costs start exceeding the expected returns from the stock market, though, so feel no need to shed even a single tear for me.
The Swedish housing market is a classic zero interest trap story - low interest rates combined with tax incentives and housing availability rates leading to ownership being significantly more lucrative - has led to prices skyrocketing and debt to income ratios spiraling out of control. With adjustable rates being the most common arrangement - again, due to some truly psychotic public policy - now the population that lent money to buy homes are stuck with sickening monthly payments and no way to get out of the debt, since the prices have dropped below purchase price. Not too much though, because of how crazy scarce the housing is.
…you’re claiming that because some debt is good and some debt is bad, all debt is bad? Your first statement quite literally negates your second statement.
This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer’s income actually goes to the artists.
This is true, yes, but the same applies for all streaming services.
It’s kind of funny how the labels have basically dodged any blame in the public eye, in favour of having Spotify be considered the enemy of artists in this case.
That’s easy to know, actually. Spotify pays 70% of revenue to rights holders, and keeps 30%. Hence an increase of $1 will mean $0.30 for Spotify, and $0.70 to rights holders.
Funnel chanterelle soup is my all-time favorite. Funnel chanterelles are pretty easy to forage where I live, so I always have a bunch of them in the freezer. It’s a cream-based soup with blue cheese in it, an absolute blast of a meal.
It was not impossible to implement, no. We can only guess as to why it wasn’t implemented, but if I had to guess, I’d say it’s simply not been prioritized.

Why has YouTube introduced support for multiple audio tracks for videos only now?
Was this feature impossible to implement many years ago?
