It's two different sets of creators -> two content pools. Also, there are many, many users outside of US or China, with their own regional content pools.
It's winter right now, go for a run outside, especially if there's snow. You can watch some YouTube videos about how to layer up properly. The air is extra crisp right now and almost nobody runs so the world is yours. I find it extra relaxing and a huge runners high afterwards.
I've worked with the accessibility team at YouTube. That team has brilliant engineers who are themselves blind or deaf, so they really do understand their customers, even if that community is relatively small. If this a grassroots decision from that team, I'm sure they have thought long and hard about it, and I respect that decision.
I still believe Alphabet is a company that truly wants to make the world a better place -- I hope they're living by their principles, and not letting the profits (of which they have plenty) get in way.
Wouldn’t this be better handled by a more sophisticated solution like some kind of law or governance organization? Banning specific apps is like whack a mole. There will also be other countries with opposing ideological beliefs - we probably shouldn’t want to play whack a mole country by country either.
Does the new EO override the previous EO? Technically, if it’s allowed “no transactions” in 45 days, then it can’t really sell anything in the latter half of the 90 days.
Yes, but there's no guarantee that lambda will reuse a connection / won't continue to request new connections against your database :( Currently, it seems like there's no "concurrency limit" or "per-function throttling". It would be amazing if requests are just magically queued up in SQS and lambda just processes them... like a traditional queue-worker system except now we don't have to manage the infra.
