Literally the opposite is true. Inbox had a huge team (bigger than Gmail) and while it was loved a lot by some, it never gained much traction among the regular Gmail users, and it'd have been impossible to migrate the enormous Gmail customer base over.
If only these people would suffer that would be alright - it was their mistake. But rich countries should not make poorer countries pay for the bad decisions of their own citizens. Policy needs to be guided by data, not emotions.
Now they are in countries in the Caribbean that have managed the virus relatively well and are overloading their public health system because they urgently need tests. Canada is just creating a problem for poorer countries while gaining very little - there's barely any community spread. If a Canadian returns home from the Carribean, on average both countries will have less covid.
The comment implies that this is somehow hardcoded just for Google sites, which is not true. Autoplay is allowed for sites with a high enough media engagement index. You can check chrome://media-engagement.
People have been saying that about Sweden for a long time.
My money is on all other countries doing something closer to the swedish model when the next wave hits in winter.
These are the same two cases that people have been mentioning for weeks, which have been reported in a chaotic period at the beginning of an outbreak. All other signs point to immunity for at least a couple of months, likely even longer.
This kind of marketing content is often provided by an agency. Hosting it on google.com where users are logged in would require extremely strict security reviews.
Indeed. The Gmail app itself has been able to act as an IMAP client before, but (as it's purely client side) this mode doesn't offer all Gmail features and is quite battery and bandwidth intensive as IMAP wasn't really designed for mobile devices. With Gmailify, the IMAP synchronization happens on Google servers, which also do normal spam detection and categorization, and the phone accesses the data like any normal Gmail account.
When you go through the sign up flow you can select whether you want to Gmailify your address into an existing or a new Google account. We make it very explicit that all your mails are being copied into Google servers.
By the way, while Gmail always has offered ways to just "import" your messages from a third party address, with Gmailify you get a full two way sync, so you can e.g. keep using the Yahoo UI and your changes will show up in Gmail.
It also says: "Fiber7 basiert auf dem Ausbau von Glasfaser-Infrastruktur (sogenannter Layer 1), den die ehemalige Monopolistin und verschiedene städtische Energie-Werke seit einigen Jahren vornehmen."
I assume that the FTTH are what the EWZ and others built, but then the connection to the backbone etc. is their own, and not the shared one that the EWZ offers for other providers. Not sure how this technically works but obviously init7 doesn't have their own fibers to every customer.
Historically extensions for Gmail have often been problematic. A lot of people install them and then forget about them, and if something changes, they blame Gmail and there's errors that can't be reproduced. Plus there's the whole security issue of giving third party code access to your mails.
Why don't you just connect it with a plus page for your username like it suggests? You don't have to use your real name. I don't know why the myth that YouTube requires a real name is going around even on HN...
