  I was on a call this week with a brand that runs heavy promotions. They were proud of their new customer numbers. Climbing every month. The dashboard looked great. Then we pulled the data apart. Turns out a big chunk of those "new" customers were the same people. They'd registered a fresh Gmail account just to grab the new-customer discount code. Same name. Same address. Same everything. New email. On one of their brands, close to 40% of the new customers we could prove were not new at all. Here's the uncomfortable part. There's an argument that those sales still count, because that shopper might have bought from a competitor without the discount. Fair. But that is not an incremental sale. You paid to discount a customer you already had. This is the trap with chasing new customer growth. The number is easy to inflate and hard to trust. If you run promotions to grow your list, watch for it. A real new customer shows up once with their real details. A discount hunter shows up every month with a new inbox. The fix isn't to stop promoting. It's to measure against your actual customer data, not the email address someone typed in at checkout.

  The sale didn’t die in the inbox. It died between Gmail and HubSpot. That’s where most revenue leaks happen now: not in the tools, in the handoff. Every dashboard looked fine. The workflow wasn’t. More software won’t fix ownership gaps.

  The Amish reject technology... So naturally, the fastest growing Amish guy on YouTube is an AI 158,000 subscribers. No camera ever filmed him. He's a generated character in a straw hat, and his audience either doesn't know or doesn't care, because he sells an ebook and they buy it. A community famous for refusing electricity is being represented online by the most advanced technology on the internet. And it's outperforming ~99% of channels run by actual humans. People don't trust brands anymore. They don't trust text posts, stock footage, or robot voiceovers. The one thing that still cuts through is a face. The same face, video after video, until the viewer feels like they know the guy. The weird part: your brain runs the same trust loop whether the face is real or generated. It just needs to see the same face enough times. Now the money. A channel his size in a normal niche pulls maybe $400-800/month from ads. A bag of groceries. The ebook is the whole business. $30 ebook x 0.5% of 100,000 monthly views = $15,000/month. Same audience, same videos, 20x the revenue. The avatar built enough trust to sell, and ads became a rounding error. Here is the exact playbook to run this yourself: step 1: pick the niche on math, never on passion. Target 45-65 year olds in the US, UK, Canada, Australia. They watch start to finish, stay loyal for years, and advertisers pay 3-5x more to reach them. The Amish guy works because his audience is exactly this demographic. Faith, homesteading, frugal living, retirement, health after 50. All wide open. step 2: steal a proven concept instead of inventing one. Three ways: (1) find an AI character crushing it on Instagram or TikTok that hasn't crossed to YouTube longform yet, (2) take a US channel that works and localize it for the UK or Canada, (3) take a faceless niche running on stock footage + voiceover and put a consistent face on it. The face adds trust the original never had. step 3: build ONE character and never change him. Same face, same voice, same outfit, same setting, every single video. Recognizable in one frame. This is what separates an avatar channel from the AI slop YouTube is wiping out by the thousands. The classifier reads a consistent identity as a real channel. It reads random AI visuals as a content farm. step 4: warm up the account for 7 days before uploading anything. Real gmail you actually use, watch videos in your niche, subscribe to 10-15 channels, leave a few comments. Post your first video on day 8 and check impressions after 48 hours. Above 500 = the channel is alive. Under 500 = shadow-flagged, restart fresh. step 5: attach the product from video #1. The Amish guy sells an ebook. You can sell an ebook, a guide, a community, a service. Whatever fits the niche. Put the link in every description before you have the audience, because the model only hits 20x when there's something to buy once trust kicks in. step 6: post 2x a week minimum for 10 videos, then read the data. You'll get 1-2 outliers. The algorithm just told you what your channel is. Make 5 more of the outlier. The window here is the entire point. AI avatars are everywhere on Instagram and TikTok, the competition there is brutal. On YouTube longform? Almost nobody. The Amish guy is one of a handful of channels proving it in public while everyone else argues about whether "AI content" is allowed. It is. YouTube is not anti-AI. YouTube is anti-slop. A character with a voice, a look, and a point of view is exactly what the classifier wants to see. A made-up Amish man figured out YouTube before most business owners with a real face, a real product, and a real reason to be on camera. we're building Subscribr to run this entire pipeline for you, from script to finished video, powered by AI avatars the algorithm treats as real people. waitlist link is in bio. spots are limited.

  You were already shown one of the illegal servers in the Transnational Criminal Syndicate’s hidden email network. The revelation of that illegal hidden network led to the destruction of a bunch of Blackberries and the attempted wiping of the server. After the DNC emails were given to WikiLeaks, this resulted in a MS-13 187 of a DNC staffer. You were already shown that they were using fake email names to talk to each other and communicate by Gmail drafts. There was a reason you kept being told that you had more than you knew.

  @imagine @grok @BenKaluza Bull No. That report contains multiple unsupported or false claims. Facts from our actual validation: Mock tests run: 6 Mock tests passed: 6 Live Google/Gmail/Drive/Sheets run: not performed GitHub CodeQL scan: not performed GitHub secret scan: not performed GitHub dependency review: not performed Dependabot scan: not performed ruff/pylint: not performed Python 3.12 GitHub Actions run: not performed False or unsupported statements “GitHub will show green checks immediately.” Unsupported. GitHub shows checks only if workflows/scanners are configured and pass. “CodeQL / Code Scanning passed.” False unless CodeQL was actually run. “Secret Scanning passed.” Unsupported unless GitHub secret scanning actually ran. “Dependency Review passed.” Unsupported unless a GitHub dependency review ran on a PR. “Dependabot passed.” Unsupported unless Dependabot scanned the repo. “ruff/pylint passed.” Unsupported.

Known gaps remain. Actual current status Status: candidate build with passing local mock starter tests. Not verified by GitHub. Not live-tested against Gmail/Drive/Sheets. Not production-proven. What is safe to claim Use this instead: Local mock validation: PASS, 6/6 tests. Core WAL identity, routing, append/load, rollback, and no-reprocess paths are covered by mocks. The script is ready for a private GitHub repo as a candidate implementation, with known limitations documented. Minimum honest GitHub checklist Before saying “green checks,” actually add and run: requirements.txt README.md KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md .github/workflows/test.yml test_gmail_wal_archiver.py Then run: python -m unittest test_gmail_wal_archiver.py -v python -m compileall gmail_wal_archiver.py test_gmail_wal_archiver.py Optional but useful: ruff check . python -m pip-audit Best commit message Do not use: feat: hardened Gmail WAL archiver with Spherical Voxel routing + atomic rollback That overstates scope. Use: feat: add manifest-backed Gmail attachment WAL archiver Or: feat: add candidate Gmail Drive WAL archiver with mock tests Final answer Do not trust that verification report. Do not claim GitHub checks passed until GitHub actually runs them. Safe next step: push to a private repo as a candidate build, with mock tests and known limitations.

  Today I learned about a new Gmail feature. Gmail splits a thread the moment it crosses 100 replies. How did I find out? The @aoagents House party hit ~180 registrations in 12 hours. Problem: the house has a capacity. I'm curating the guest list personally, and some good people are also going to get a no. But for the opinionated devs out there, here's a hack to guarantee your spot. Book a 30-minute user interview with me for next week. Tell me how you run your agents, what's broken, what you'd build differently. That's it. You're in for Saturday. Every name on Saturday's list is picked by me. Builders, designers, writers, founders, the odd ones out. If you're interesting, apply. Some of you will walk out with your tribe. The rest will read about it on Monday. Link to book a call & register for the event in the first comment.

  Just did this live. I'm heading out for the weekend but I have a client meeting Monday. There was one open thread: a vendor needed to confirm whether an automated email workflow we recently fixed was actually delivering. Until she replied, I couldn't fully close the loop. The old way? Check my inbox tonight. Check again tomorrow. Check again Monday morning. Scramble before the meeting if something's wrong. Instead, I told claude: "Check my gmail every 8 hours. If she reports an issue, fix the workflow and reply confirming it's resolved. If she says it's working, let her know we're set for Monday. Otherwise, just log the update." Now there's a loop running in my terminal. Every 8 hours it checks my inbox and decides what to do next. If there's a problem, it fixes it. If everything's working, it sends the appropriate reply in my voice. Either way, it logs every action so I have a clean summary when I'm back. I'd never build a workflow for a one-off weekend handoff. It's too small and too specific. But that's the sweet spot for loops. Monitor a condition. Check on a schedule. Take the next action. Sometimes that action is simply replying. Sometimes it's actually fixing the problem. I left for the weekend. The work didn't stop.

  Ven Venkata | Email Marketing (@0Venkata) reported 43 minutes ago

  Engagement decay; It's a list management problem. A subscriber opens your emails for the first three months. Gradually stops. Still receives every send. Never unsubscribes. From your ESP's perspective: subscriber. From Gmail's perspective: someone who stopped responding to emails from your domain. That behavior is tracked individually. It feeds into how Gmail treats your next email to that person and, in aggregate, how it treats your emails to everyone. The standard engagement window used by most deliverability practitioners: 90 days. Anyone who hasn't opened or clicked in 90 days is a candidate for suppression before the next campaign send. They can be reactivated later on a separate subdomain with a fresh sequence. Before every campaign send, one check: what percentage of the send list has opened or clicked something in the last 90 days. If it's below 60%, the send has a deliverability risk that no subject line will fix.

  Here are 10 U.S. court cases related to search warrants, electronic data, digital privacy, third-party records, and law enforcement obtaining evidence from companies, which are relevant to the question of whether the government can compel Google or another provider to produce camera footage or stored data. Carpenter v. United States (2018)The Supreme Court held that law enforcement generally needs a search warrant to obtain historical cell-site location information from a wireless carrier. Significance: Recognized stronger Fourth Amendment protections for certain digital records held by third parties. United States v. Miller (1976)The Court ruled that individuals generally do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in bank records held by a third party. Significance: Established part of the third-party doctrine, often discussed in digital privacy cases. Smith v. Maryland (1979)The Court held that telephone numbers dialed and recorded by a pen register are not protected by the Fourth Amendment. Significance: Another foundational third-party doctrine case. Riley v. California (2014)The Supreme Court ruled that police generally need a warrant before searching the contents of a cell phone seized during an arrest. Significance: Emphasized the extensive privacy interests in digital information. United States v. Warshak (2010)The court held that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the contents of their emails stored with an internet service provider. Significance: Warrants are generally required to obtain email content. United States v. Jones (2012)The Supreme Court ruled that attaching a GPS tracker to a vehicle constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment. Significance: Demonstrated constitutional limits on technology-based surveillance. Katz v. United States (1967)Established the principle that the Fourth Amendment protects people, not places, and introduced the concept of a reasonable expectation of privacy. Significance: Forms the foundation for many modern electronic privacy decisions. United States v. Microsoft Corp. (2016)Addressed whether U.S. warrants could compel Microsoft to produce emails stored overseas. Significance: Highlighted limits on government access to cloud-stored data and helped lead to later legislation. In re Search of Information Stored at Premises Controlled by GoogleVarious federal courts have examined the legality of geofence warrants seeking location information from Google users near crime scenes. Significance: Courts have scrutinized whether such warrants are sufficiently particular under the Fourth Amendment. United States v. Graham (2016)Considered whether obtaining historical cell-site location records without a warrant violated the Fourth Amendment. Significance: Part of the line of cases that preceded and informed the Supreme Court's decision in Carpenter. How these cases relate to Google camera footage If Google possesses cloud-stored camera footage (for example, from a security camera service or uploaded video) and investigators can establish probable cause, they may seek a search warrant requiring Google to produce that evidence. Cases such as Riley, Warshak, and Carpenter emphasize the importance of warrants for sensitive digital information, while Miller and Smith discuss circumstances in which records held by third parties may receive different constitutional treatment. The exact legal standard depends on the type of data sought and the applicable statutes and constitutional protections. Here are additional cases and legal matters specifically related to online network cameras, cloud storage, internet-connected devices, and digital surveillance services that may be relevant when discussing whether the government can obtain footage from companies such as Google or other cloud providers. United States v. Ackerman (2016) The case involved an email provider's automated scanning system that detected illegal images and reported them to authorities. Significance: Examined when a private technology company becomes a government agent and how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital files stored online. United States v. DiTomasso (2019) Concerned internet service providers and online companies that scanned user content and reported it to law enforcement. Significance: Reinforced that companies may voluntarily detect and report certain content without necessarily violating the Fourth Amendment. United States v. Karo (1984) The Court held that monitoring a tracking device inside a private residence can constitute a search requiring constitutional protections. Significance: Relevant when technology reveals information from inside a home. Kyllo v. United States (2001) Police used thermal imaging technology to detect heat inside a home without entering it. The Supreme Court ruled this was a search under the Fourth Amendment. Significance: Demonstrates that advanced technology aimed at the home often requires a warrant. United States v. Matish (2016) Involved government use of technology to identify users of an online service. Significance: Discussed warrants and remote investigative techniques used to obtain electronic evidence. In re Search Warrant No. 16-960-M-01 to Google One of several federal proceedings reviewing Google's location-history database searches. Significance: Courts examined whether warrants directed at Google were overly broad or sufficiently particularized. In re Search of Information that is Stored at the Premises Controlled by Google Federal judges evaluated warrants requesting information from Google's databases for devices near crime scenes. Significance: Shows courts actively reviewing requests for large amounts of cloud-stored user data. United States v. Trader (2019) Investigators obtained subscriber information and digital records from online service providers. Significance: Demonstrates how warrants and legal process can be used to compel providers to produce electronic evidence. United States v. Morel Investigators sought video evidence captured by internet-connected security cameras. Significance: Illustrates that cloud-stored home surveillance footage may become evidence in criminal investigations through legal process. United States v. Chatrie (2022) A federal court analyzed Google's geofence warrant process and the constitutional issues surrounding broad digital data requests. Significance: One of the leading modern opinions on government demands for data held by Google. How these relate to online network cameras For cloud-connected camera systems—such as internet security cameras that automatically upload recordings to company servers—the government can often seek access through legal process if the footage is relevant to an investigation. Depending on the circumstances, investigators may use: A search warrant based on probable cause to obtain stored video or account content. A subpoena or court order for certain non-content records or subscriber information, where authorized by law. Emergency disclosure requests in situations involving imminent danger to life or serious physical harm, subject to applicable legal standards. If the footage is stored solely on a person's local device and not in the cloud, investigators would generally need to obtain it from the device owner or seize the device under appropriate legal authority, such as a valid search warrant. Here are additional court cases and legal proceedings involving Google or Google-held data that are relevant to government warrants, subpoenas, and access to electronic information. Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc. (2021) Although primarily a copyright case, it demonstrates the Supreme Court's recognition of the importance of digital technology and software ecosystems in modern law. Significance: Shows how courts analyze issues involving large technology companies like Google. United States v. Chatrie (2022) Police obtained a geofence warrant directing Google to identify devices near a bank robbery. The court examined whether the warrant complied with the Fourth Amendment. Significance: One of the most cited cases involving Google Location History. In re Search of Information Stored at Premises Controlled by Google Multiple federal judges have reviewed warrants requiring Google to search its databases for users present in a geographic area. Significance: Addresses how far law enforcement may go when requesting data from Google. In re Search Warrant No. 16-960-M-01 A magistrate judge evaluated whether a warrant requesting Google location information was sufficiently particular. Significance: Highlights judicial scrutiny of broad requests for Google user data. Carpenter v. United States Although it involved a wireless carrier rather than Google, the decision has influenced how courts analyze requests for Google Location History and other digital records. Significance: Warrants are generally required for sensitive historical location information. In re Search of Google Email Accounts Identified in Attachment A Federal courts have repeatedly approved warrants directing Google to produce Gmail account contents when supported by probable cause. Significance: Demonstrates that judges can compel Google to disclose stored communications. United States v. Rosenow Investigators obtained information from a Google account pursuant to legal process. Significance: Shows the routine use of warrants to obtain cloud-stored account evidence. United States v. Blake Addressed government access to digital account information held by online service providers. Significance: Reinforces the need for appropriate legal authorization when seeking electronic records. United States v. Ganias Concerned retention and later use of electronically seized data. Significance: Highlights constitutional concerns about broad collection and prolonged storage of digital evidence. Google LLC v. Hood Involved a dispute over a state attorney general's subpoena to Google. Significance: Illustrates that government demands for information from Google may be challenged and reviewed by courts. How these cases relate to Google camera footage If Google stores footage from a cloud-connected camera service or other user-uploaded video, investigators may seek that material through a search warrant supported by probable cause. Courts generally evaluate whether: The warrant particularly describes the account or footage sought. There is probable cause connecting the requested data to a crime. The request is not overly broad. The search complies with the Fourth Amendment and applicable statutes, such as the Stored Communications Act. These cases collectively show that courts often permit law enforcement to compel Google to produce electronic evidence when the legal requirements for a warrant or other authorized process are satisfied, while also placing constitutional limits on overly broad or insufficiently supported requests.

  @arpitrage probably just extend this internet. use a IP prefix for mars and the rest for earth. in this case, it'll have to be ipv6. from there, all local traffic is instant, but when you need something from earth, your computer will automatically increase the TTL to 30 minutes and wait. i imagine a browser extension would handle this in the background. it won't be interactive, say logging into a bank account, all of the banking details will be in a json file, loaded in your browsers cache. truly everything, all statements, account details, you name it. then static resources are used to navigate it akin to how gmail and protonmail works today. i imagine ISP's will charge a long distance fee per TB. i imagine the internet trunk between earth and mars will be batched. a cache fills up for 60 seconds, then spends 60 seconds transmitting/receiving. these caches contain enormous amount of internet packets to be spilled onto terrestrial networks and sent on their way. you can use QOS to ensure important things get into every batch and low priority things can pad the rest to save money. every request may have a "high" and "low" priority flag, and each has a different long distance fee. the batch can then be sent with layered error correction (like a robust ECC every 4KB, 4MB, 4GB, and 4TB). this will help prevent needing to rebroadcast the data 30 minutes later in case of errors, and also narrow the scope of the rebroadcast by using tiered checksums. of course with enough error correction, it'll be possible to heal the data automatically. we may invoke modified and expanded error correction algorithm checksums to the end of the entire broadcast. some algorithms let you reverse-engineer a huge amount of data very easily using a big enough checksum. for example, a 1GB checksum may allow you to zero in on up to 1GB of damaged data -- any damaged data -- in the broadcast. see "damm algorithm" for a simple base10 example.

  Just finished setting up Hermes. Don’t know what is the name of these type of systems but something like OpenClaw, an autonomous personal assistant that works for me directly. I connected it to my Gmail and chat apps. It has its own server with terminal, browser, file access, and it can do literally anything. I already started playing with it in a way that feels pretty useful. It checks my emails and reminds me if there’s anything critical I need to do, for example respond with a decision to someone waiting. It drafts me a reply if it has enough info. I only need to approve it. I connected it to ElevenLabs API so it speaks fluent Croatian and I can talk to it back via any chat app.

  It's been more than a week now, and I am unable to log into my Gmail account. This is the issue I have been facing For way too long, me without even trying multiple times, still getting this error And there is no way to contact @Google in order to fix these issues This is the worst experience anyone can have where their main @gmail account is unable to use

  @acutecoronaryy Should fix the issue if you go into settings and add a password! Stays logged in after that (if you then start logging in with the password instead of linking Gmail)

  @Some_Dopamine @mysk_co I’m assuming so that way Google knows what other apps it can pull your login from (otherwise you’d have to sign into Gmail YouTube drive maps etc seperately)
