If something catastrophic did happen to my home, my data would be the least of my problems.
That's rather naive. If something catastrophic happened to your home, then once you were all recovered from that (maybe a year or two), you're going to be in a world of hurt about your data. You'll care at some point. Best to maintain offsite backups as well as onsite backups.
Their new cap is not actually 1 TB. Officially, it's 1024 MB (= 1.024 TB), but in practice, it's actually more than that. I have measured it at being at least 1065 MB for the past 3 months, or a little less than 1000 GiB (= 1.07374 TB). My guess is that their bandwidth warning of "100% of 1024 MB" is triggered a few GB before the actual 100% mark, so that you're given a few GB of "slush" in which to wind down your usage. So, by advertising the cap as 1024 MB but over-delivering as 1065 MB, everyone is happy. The 100% warning then actually occurs at 104% of the promised cap.

WTF.
What kind of undisciplined clowns are you employing there?
It's no different at all than lunchtime coming up. You work until it's time to take a break. A meeting is a break from work. Are you not able to get anything done in the three hours before lunch?
I was about to say, "That's not how probability works!" but it turns out that you are actually correct.
If each site has a 1% chance of being seized, then it means each site has a 99% chance of not being seized. Multiplying these probabilities together gives.99^3 =.970299 or about a 97.03% chance that no site will be seized — which means that you've got about a 3% chance of having one or more site seized.
The key here is that 1 – (1 – x)^3 is very close to 3x for small x.
*Every* embedded software design standard expressly forbids recursion
My embedded software design standard doesn't.
Thank you. GP is a fucking moron. As you go on to point out, many algorithms have natural limits on the recursion depth. A recursive mergesort, for example, can never go deeper than ceil(log2(n)) calls, where n is the number of elements to sort. If you have room on your stack for 30 calls deep, you can sort a list of a billion items. People who say recursion has no place in embedded software design either haven't thought their arguments through very carefully, or are very inexperienced programmers, or are just plain dumb.
I get things done quicker leaving the distractions of my home and going to a dedicated work environment.
This is a sign of poor self discipline.
It is not.
Self-discipline is on a completely orthogonal axis from distractions at home. At home, you might have small kids running around, or a blaring tv to try to ignore, or flatmates making noise, or the people in the apartment nextdoor might be fucking loudly. No amount of self-discipline can fix this.
Also, even if you're home alone, it just might not feel right doing work at home.
My favorite and most productive location are the local library and coffee shops, in 3-to-6 hour chunks of time. I get tons done there when I'm unable to focus at home.
To be strictly correct, there is no "the" election. There are two presidential elections. The first election (November 9) has taken place. The second election (December 19), as you say, hasn't yet taken place.

Backup as a verb is not accepted language, unless you're an idiot.
But Google CAN be pedantic. And you can be wrong.
Except that nothing I said above was wrong.
you can call for backup to back you up (extended from a military sense).
Correct. That doesn't contradict anything I said. The noun is backup and the verb is back up.
So please dismount from that overly high horse.
Nothing overly high about it.

So to have Google backup all my computer data? No thanks.
Google cannot "backup" your data.
"Backup" is a noun. You do a backup. Do do not backup something.
"Back up" is the verb you want. You back up something. Google backs up all your computer data.

Virus writers will target the largest market portion.
Bullshit. Virus writers will target every platform they can — starting with the largest and working their way down to the smallest.
I'm amazed that a gamer sitting on an island in the Pacific could unilaterally block a tournament.
Indeed it was. Exactly and precisely this.

For fuck's sake! There are no goddamn gyroscopes in mobile devices. What's used are accelerometers, which are non-spinning. Gyroscopes spin.

Look it up. It's been widely known (and reported here 3 years ago) that Apple was working on a new filesystem.
Well, since APFS has been in development for only a year or so ...
Uh, actually, AFPS has been in development for several years.
But the chance of losing your data is triple.

"I am the one who clocks."
Nope. FAIL. Not correct.
Your solution only works if all leaf nodes have the same depth -- which is exceedingly unlikely.
You want:
if (abs(left - right) > 1) throw exception;
Nope. FAIL!
Your implementation only works for trees where all leaf nodes are at the same depth.
A binary tree is still balanced if one branch is depth n depth and the other branch is depth n+1.
So you have to compare like this:
(abs(depthLeft - depthRight) <= 1)) {
$35/month for anything with commercials is too much. Way too much.
...for something that was 100% twenty years ago.
