Is it me or are all the dates in this timeline in the future? Isn’t it Feb 2025 now? Do you smell toast? EDIT: oh I see .. DD/MM/YY is a new one to me
That’s the date format used in the UK

Big and little endian dates are the only way that makes sense I think. Doing it the US way where day is inexplicably between year and month just feels corrupted to my mind.
Breaking the email system so that it's not sent is the cherry on top. With companies as big as Google who have developed so many products, "security" feels fake. If every line of code is a possible vulnerability, with millions it's just inevitable. It feels like the only way is to keep things simple (e.g., deprecate the recorder site), but even then.
You're essentially suggesting a Drake equation [1] equivalent for the number of security vulnerabilities based on NLoC. What other factors would be part of this equation? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation

Unfortunately with the number of users Google has, any deprecation will be met with cries of pain / I-rely-on-the-spacebar-to-heat-up-my-computer. See https://killedbygoogle.com/ .
Side note, what is that reference from? Searching "i rely on the spacebar to heat up my computer" directs me back to this comment (6 mins ago).
The attack chain isn't that complex...
It's very lame to be stingy with a bug bounty program.

Day-Month-Year is the standard everywhere in the world apart from the US. Big and little endian dates are the only way that makes sense I think. Doing it the US way where day is inexplicably between year and month just feels corrupted to my mind.
IIRC, Japan uses Year-Month-Day, which is the other order which makes sense.
> That params is nothing more than just base64 encoded protobuf, which is a common encoding format used throughout Google. Pour one out for the google dev in charge of b64 encoding their fancy binary message format so it can be jammed inside a JSON blob. If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot with "worse is better" imprinted on the sole stomping on an engineer's face, forever.
The json part is an automatic conversion.

They really aren't shy about massive breaking changes. I'm still upset about Google Reader. https://killedbygoogle.com/
