This doesn't explain the case when the author uploaded and downloaded a new file, and there was no big diff in file size. The file size diff only seems to be happening to the author's older video files.
It does explain it and likely adds more weight to it too.
Encoding additional videos takes a lot of processing power. When you upload a video to youtube, the higher-quality versions aren't available for sometime. There is likely a queuing system, maybe even a minimum weight time before a video is processed.
This is happening not only in FAANG companies but also a lot (if not, all) of companies. Unless you are in a hyper-growth company, you are more likely to see this kind of performance management process to continuously review and cut.

Technically, it's not free. Nothing is rarely free in this world. Our (people working in the US) tax dollars go to NASA and they use this money to build and support this new streaming system. Is this going to worth the effort and money? We will see.
I would love to understand the decision behind this when they have been "fine" with Twitch and YouTube all these years.
No it’s not, its the literally the name the government gave those plans.
“What is Medicare Part C?
A Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) is another Medicare health plan choice you may have as part of Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans, sometimes called “Part C” or “MA Plans,” are offered by private companies approved by Medicare.”
> No it’s not, its the literally the name the government gave those plans.
Please re-read the article and my comment. Neither said anything about who named these plans. The fact is that the name itself is misleading people.
Also, the article gives a few examples how the private insurance companies _tricks_ people to think that MA plans are always better. I worked at one of these big insurance companies, and we implemented products and worded things in a way to ensure that we increase the growth of the Medicare Advantage plans. At the time, I genuinely thought the Medicare Advantage plans were always better but that is not the case. It's actually very difficult to choose which one would be better and the fact that it's really hard to change exacerbates the situation.
You don't have to agree with me. You are one of better people who can understand these plans better. Consider people with less education on this subject and have some empathy. You might think this differently.
Ok, if your argument is that making a choice for Medicare isn't easy, I'll agree with you there. There are a very complex set of rules and it's not always obvious what is the best for a given person. It takes a lot of homework to figure out.
It isn’t that they go, but the frothiness does. I built teams through the 2008+ downturn and plenty of teams froze hiring, but many were still hiring through it. What this poster doesn’t get at is the fact that it changes what types of opportunities rise to the top—you get more scratch and dent or problematic roles vs. straight up the middle quality roles.
I believe they are already throwing a lot more money to bring more apps. The investment in Cyanogen would be very small compared to how much they throw into app developers and companies to bring more WP apps.
That's what they mean. You are listening/reading into it too much. Every Windows has a number of years for support, and this number can change. The number has never decreased and has only increased in the past because people/companies were too slow at getting rid of old Windows (e.g. Windows XP). We do not know what the actual number of years Microsoft is going to support for Windows 10, but I bet it's going to be around 10 years just like other Windows.
