Is it right that the free-tier auth tokens expire in 24 hours (saw the JWT exp claim)? I would like to know this before investing too much time in migrating, even just to try it out. Trying to answer: is the free tier sustainable?

These are hard to read if you have no intuition about what these cog shapes look like even without overlapping. But, everyone get ellipses.

> We noticed that download graphs were showing a constant background level of downloads even for unpopular crates due to bots, scrapers, and mirrors. Download counts are now filtered to only include requests from Cargo, providing more accurate statistics.

As nice as it was to see some nonzero numbers in my work, I knew it couldn't be real usage.

This has happened to me a couple of times with eBay sales.

Is it safe to transact with people who use freight forwarders in your experience? Do you lose any protections?

Out of fear, in my cases, I cancelled the auctions.

On second thought though, I wonder if it's actually the buyer using the service that is more at risk (introduction of 3rd party, more complex delivery, probably impossible to return, etc)

By putting it on your router, all your traffic is tunneled through the VPN, right?

I ask this in comparison to applying it at a finer-grained level, such as just a particular machine, or to an application, or to even a browser tab or particular domain. I feel like I would never want all my traffic VPN-ed because it is slow, there are greater privacy concerns of VPN operators, and my needs for VPNs are a cleanly-separable small chunk of my online activities.

> a video streaming service that serves consumers residing in the state shall not transmit the audio of commercial advertisements louder than the video content the advertisements accompany

I was hoping we'd find a more precise definition. Couldn't this be gamed by editing a short (1 second, for example) segment of the intended content to have loud audio to artificially set the upper bound?

> we manually curated a set of over 2,000 YouTube channels that release original openly licensed content containing speech. From these channels, we retrieved and transcribed (using Whisper) over 1.1 million openly licensed videos comprising more than 470,000 hours of content.

This is why Gemini has such an advantage.

I feel that this change served creators (too): Long-running channels transform over time, in production value, niche, style, messaging, etc. Creators want you to look at this new image instead of their old one.

(Imagine looking through your old vs new social media posts... which would the current-you agree with more?)
