Even an App is free, it doesn't mean you can distribute it without permission? I would say the case apply to restaurants as well. I can see good restaurants leverage this to negotiate favorable terms with platforms.

Well, it is safe to say this is hot garbage then.
I would love Google to remove all the self entitled BS from this statement, so they can act as an everyday faceless big company which is anyway what it is doing, not some moral beacon for the mass to look up to.
The statement exists only to generate traffic for the news outlet for spinning.
If you want independence, goes to academia instead (though it is not easy to obtain it either)
I would be more in the mood to praise Oracle for this development, had they not shown how far they could go to hurt Java's community/ecosystem just to squeeze a penny out of it.
Go Europe, we need an alternative to compete.
The one who made the decision to use GCP would not be the one who would use it actually. If GCP offers a bigger cut than other Cloud providers, loading time would be irrelevant in that optics.
Enterprise users are risk averse. Speed is definitely a plus, but they would care more about stability/predictability than anything.
Make Cloud UI fast is probably not their priority. This is an enterprise product, not consumer facing, users are much less likely to be turned off due to slow UI. They will wait.
Integrity/Security would be much higher on the list than UI loading speed.
Not surprising at all.
It might hurt people's feeling, but most of those are not professional musicians.
I don't think it is judgemental to say that to claim oneself as professional, one need to demonstrate that they could make a living out of it. Otherwise, it is no different than a hobbyist, albeit much more time is dumped on it.
In case of streaming, now more people can declare themselves as musicians, since the barrier of publishing has been significantly lowered comparing to physical CDs. But that doesn't mean profit would follow.
To produce hit music isn't easy, and luck is certainly a factor of it.
Musician for most isn't a job that sustains your livelihood, to speak the truth. Most musicians takes it a passion driven side gig besides their regular day job.
Google cares about AI ethnics because talking about it gives those people, especially higher ups, an imagined sense of significance and adrenaline rush of being a savior.
But in reality, AI ethnics is just a gloried showroom of diversity/inclusiveness.
It is not a product, it doesn't generate revenue, in corporate world, nobody cares.
Big red flag. Why are the identities of reviewers important here? Did she plan to take those reviewers to the court of public opinions for a trial/exposure?
A lesson is delivered in time IMO. Those entitled people need to be called out.
She is fired because she works against the interests of the company who hired her.
The outcome won't be different if you are a man.
What is the story?
15 mins max runtime simplifies the resource management and avoid abuse. If you have workload for long running jobs, then that should go to something like AWS EKS/Batch/SageMaker.
That being said, things can change, if more and more people requires long running capacity for Lambda (though I am skeptical of that, as Lambda abstracts the underlying hardware away and is supposedly flexible to the requirements)
Wake up. With a president actively trying to overturn election outcome? Attacking the very system that puts him in power 4 years ago? No, the world is watching, and they are not stupid.
PR is for immigration and China isn’t an immigrant country.
I agree however not a lot westerner immigrated China in masses. I don’t think you would live a normal life there without knowing Chinese, it will be painful. The immigration policy is mostly nonexisten, which by itself says a lot about the government's attitude towards foreigners in general.
On the other hand, China could be attractive place to gain experience with, it is vast complex and completely different from the West.
Resolving COE can be a positive even if you know how to spin it, at least that was the case when I was there. But not sure whether things had changed
Is it getting so bad recently?
Xi does this because he can.
If you can quarantine 1B people in two weeks, that means Xi's power has reached an unbelievable level. He can start a war if he wants to, no one in China can object to that.
Alibaba is nothing but a pawn to him. The fear created by halting of Ant IPO will ensure no other entrepreneurs will publicly challenge the authority as long as Xi is in power.
Frankly speaking, in a country such like China where capital is strictly controlled, Ant's existence itself is pretty significant.
It doesn't IPO in Western countries anyway.
TV is dying and few will miss or even notice it.
Right now, all things happened according to the slated procedures, including the challenge in court.
Trump and his supporters shouldn't expect otherwise, if they truly believe in rule of law.
Does web loading time alone reduce the energy consumption?
