why does youtube have that red loading bar at the top now?

because it isn't loading a new page, its just replacing the center content and updating the UI while pushing a new URL onto the stack using the DOM history API

does anyone here actually work at google lol

google have suddenly stopped dkim signing my outgoing mail on google apps for no apparent reason

its been working fine for 2-3 years but now the dkim sig header is missing on every email i send so they all get rejected by the recipients (because my dmarc policy says i dkim sign all mail)

i've tried turning signing off and on in the google apps control panel but it hasn't changed anything

has google changed something? how do i fix this? hjalp

interestingly google's own internal x-google-dkim-signature header is still intact. but nobody checks that, not even google

perhaps you can consider posting in the product support forums where the only response will be "maybe you need to reinstall outlook, you know how MS products are!!"

yes.

it induces familiarity with a brand

the very first time you buy a type of product, you're more likely to choose a brand you're familiar with than one you aren't

once you've bought a brand a single time, you're more likely to buy that same brand again when you next refill

this is why pregnant women are a goldmine to advertisers -- they're about to start buying a shitload of products they've never bought before, and they'll keep buying some or all of them for the next 18 years

also why every single car company sells their entry-level (sub)compacts with razor thin margin. they hope someone will buy them as their first car and then buy a new Honda/Toyota/Ford/Chevy every 3-5 years for the rest of their lives, eventually moving up to the expensive luxury marques.

that must be a hell of an annoying job because it sure seems like 80% of the time they roll out some hip new youth-oriented model then all the olds buy it and make it incredibly unappealing to early 20s people.

the "pregnant women worth tons of money" thing leads to much creepier results tho, like Target knowing you are pregnant via data mining before your family does.

also true on the lux badges, low margins on the entry level 3 series and their ilk

the japanese firms go a step further than that.

the toyota corolla is roughly double the size/weight/luxury it was twenty years ago because it's the same individual people buying it that were twenty years ago. they bought a cheap, small car in their 30s, a slightly larger and more expensive one in their 40s, and now they're 50 and buying something still larger and more expensive. all those cars were named "corolla".

the individual model's brand moves with you as you age. then they introduce a new model at the bottom end with minimum price and size to replace the previous model. c.f. yaris, fit

radio stations do this too. each station targets a specific demographic, and the mix/format changes as the members of the target demo age.

your dad listens to the same radio station now that he did 20 years ago, but the format has changed quite a lot to reflect his cohort's changing taste





edit: and he probably does his listening in the same model of car he did 20 years ago. maybe a corolla.

google used to dev broadcast radio software, but they spun it off

also my hometown has suddenly sprouted two more top 40 stations and a third country station, each one playing the exact same songs as their competitors

meanwhile, the college station (which plays literal polka on sundays) has half its playlist comprising limp bizkit and other lovely alt rock
