Google Photos has long offered one of the best deals in all of photo storage: it’ll back up your entire library for free, so long as it can compress the images a bit. But as of tomorrow, June 1st, that deal goes away, and you’re now eating through Google storage (which you may have to pay for) whether your images are compressed or not. With the change looming, I’ve been wondering how bad Google’s compression actually is. Does the compression leave my photos in “High Quality,”… Source link

As the NFL rolls toward arguably the only dead period in its 12-month calendar, the two biggest rifts in the league — Aaron Rodgers vs. the Green Bay Packers and Deshaun Watson vs. the Houston Texans — are about to cross an important threshold.

A look at the shareholders of Yandex N.V. (NASDAQ:YNDX) can tell us which group is most powerful. Institutions often own shares in more established companies, while it’s not unusual to see insiders own a fair bit of smaller companies. I generally like to see some degree of insider ownership, even if only a little. As Nassim Nicholas Taleb said, ‘Don’t tell me what you think, tell me what you have in your portfolio. Yandex has a market capitalization of US$24b, so it’s too big to fly… Source link

Last week I did a “second chance” NFBC draft, which has an overall prize. It was the first draft, so zero ADP data was available, making things extra wild.
