I did a similar thing almost 20 years ago. The Swedish National Pensioners' Organisation was hotlinking an image from my server. I can't really remember exactly what it was, but it was something harmless, like a picture of a cat. Teenage me thought it was super fun to change this image to something more explicit.

It's just something with lots of Microsoft's latest software that annoys me. They all feel behind, laggy and lacking features in comparison to their competitor.

Slack > Teams

Trello > Planner

PowerBi > Tableau, Looker, Mode

And by the quick looks of it:

Airtable > Lists

At the same time I'm looking at that $136 billion cash pile. Oh well, at least they acquired Github...

I wouldn't use the word likely. It might be because of who your target group is etc and I therefore have another experience. But yes, it does happen. The way it works is that Google allow themself to spend up to 2x your daily budget. If they exceed your daily x2, you'll be credited any overcharged amount.

Eg. Your daily budget is $200 and they spend $420, you’ll get a $20 credit.

Then there is the monthly limit, which is your daily budget x 30.4. Also here you'll be credited any amount they exceed.

AdBlockers will still block iframes and already does. Those I've seen blocks the full request based on a list of known domains. Many 3rd-party tracking cookies is often placed with help of iframes or a img-pixel.

With Google Analytics you have the option to actually do all the tracking server-side so AdBlockers shouldn't be an issue tracking-wise.

I would say most of Google's products that eventually reach the bigger mass are black swans. Best way to reproduce them? Add a lot of stress, tens of thousands of engineers is quite lot stress.

Got 10/10. I think though if I would have only be looking at one picture at time and were to say yes or no. My score would have been much lower. Quite often in the computer-generated ones it looks like someone have gone nuts with the smudge tool in photoshop.

He probably can. 5 years with living wage and he would be debt free. If he has filled for bankruptcy before (which I don't know) he might be denied the chance again.
