I have an account from early on when they first launched. Got some small BTC in it and never touched it again. Still there. Odd why some got closed. I log into it once every couple of years.

I want flexibility that includes quality games with quality graphics. I'm not looking for high-end gaming PC quality (which I used to own) but close to it. Stadia hits that for me. I play it on TV and laptop depending where I am.

Gaming PCs and consoles will be around for a long time as they serve a market. I hope Stadia builds on their market fit and to become another platform widely used.

Good point. Pasting the relevant section and the explanation why they chose to implement it that way.

Messages in iCloud also uses end-to-end encryption. If you have iCloud Backup turned on, your backup includes a copy of the key protecting your Messages. This ensures you can recover your Messages if you lose access to iCloud Keychain and your trusted devices. When you turn off iCloud Backup, a new key is generated on your device to protect future messages and isn't stored by Apple.

Per the PDF.

"Our third quarter 2020 effective tax rate was 4%, which reflects a one-time income tax benefit of $913 million related to the effects of a tax election to capitalize and amortize certain research and development expenses for U.S. income tax purposes.Excluding this tax benefit, our effective tax rate would have been 11 percentage points higher and our diluted EPS would havebeen $0.31 lower."

Interesting comment from Bill Maris from Axios.

Bill Maris, who founded Google's venture capital arm and reported directly to Drummond before quitting in 2016, tells Axios...

"The news of David Drummond leaving Google today brings to mind a quote from one of my most favorite creatures. 'At an end, your rule is. And not short enough, it was.' I had been asked in the past why I left Google in 2016, and I have never really commented on that. David Drummond is the reason I left Google. I simply could not work with him any longer. It’s that simple. We have very, very different ideas about how to treat people, and this was a long time coming."[1]

Some deals require specific starting and end destinations to work properly with a specific carrier. Others can require a stopover in a certain city before continuing on.

The really good deals will even be site specific. All this can be done via good expertise. With scraping and this type of logic, you'd get blocked quickly from the major sites.
