I've played Ingress since early beta phase, and have seen many people leave, and then many more come. For instance, in beta there were only 8 player levels. People got to 8, realized there was no real endgame beyond that, and left. And then Niantic added levels up to 16, added missions, First Saturdays, events, lots of new game concepts, and so on, and years later it's still really active. In the earlier days Niantic was really underfunded and was slow to market for new features.
Is this another "study" that doesn't include any clicks to the service from the black Google bar, or from within the service itself, or from mobile devices, or based on counting only public posts? Meh. Next.
Are they just going to have a few hardcoded presets(phone, tablet, TV?) that use the same architectural foundation? Will it be a single 'windowing' mechanism that follows certain layout rules that result in different effects based on screen size and DPI?
Android has been doing this for a while, choosing at runtime which resources to serve up based on DPI. The source tree of an Android app has 3 'drawable' directories under res/ (drawable-ldpi, drawable-mdpi, and drawable-hdpi) and it picks the best one for each situation.
Games on G+ can also reward you for spamming/recruiting your friends. Angry Birds on G+ for example will keep levels locked until you and your friends have a cumulative total of stars to unlock them, so naturally you want to get more people playing. Another game lets you ask for hearts to continue gameplay and equally you can donate hearts. The difference here though is people in your circles will not see all this game stuff unless they are also in their games stream.
I don't know anyone who makes public posts. That's kind of the entire point, which you appear to have missed
There are many I've found who use G+ as they use Twitter, IOW all public posts, like a broadcasting station/soapbox. I find what you say to be generally true of most other users though (including myself). I post daily but you wouldn't know it from my profile.
The change applies to the copyright on studio recordings, which is often owned by record labels, rather than the right to the composition, which is owned by the songwriters.
Can't say I'm a bit surprised. I would hate for record labels to face an income gap toward the end of their lives.
For the time being, it never hurts to make backups regularly, as with any other data on your systems. I believe in addition to that, GMail has it's own exporting. I agree with your statements though.
When she first opened her G+ profile, it was under "Adafruit Industries" not under Limor or Lady Ada. This was against Google's policy (remember they told businesses to hold off until they had features rolled out for business users). How do I know that? I had her in my circles and she only changed it over a week/week.5 later. I mention this because this detail doesn't seem to be getting any airplay.
This is not actually true. First of all, you choose who to share with. Unless you posted something as 'public' you do have an idea of who you are sharing with. On the post itself (again, unless you posted something as public) you can click on the little link that says 'limited' and it will show you who it was shared with. If you are concerned about people RE-sharing your post, then you can disable resharing on a post as well. Naturally there is always a way for people to republish what you posted, manually, with good old copy/paste, to get around these controls, but why would you have people like this in your circles of trust to begin with?
I still can't figure out how to post on someone's wall.
there is no wall. If you want to share a post with one person, then you specify that one person while you are creating your post.
the circles are way too hard to set up
Really? Dragging and dropping in a visual interface is 'too hard'? What did you expect? That it read your mind?
P.S. If you're just trolling, it's kind of obvious.

Uh, there's more to that story. Here's what the FAO has to say about it.
When emissions from land use and land use change are included, the livestock sector accounts for 9 percent of CO2 deriving from human-related activities, but produces a much larger share of even more harmful greenhouse gases. It generates 65 percent of human-related nitrous oxide, which has 296 times the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CO2. Most of this comes from manure. And it accounts for respectively 37 percent of all human-induced methane (23 times as warming as CO2), which is largely produced by the digestive system of ruminants, and 64 percent of ammonia, which contributes significantly to acid rain.
I think we saw that in action today. I guess Google Now has been rebranded, adjusted, integrated, and redesigned into Google Assistant?
I believe they announced Assistant back in May at I/O 2016. It seems like a rebrand with additional functionality tacked on.

hover.com/tucows is another that has come out against SOPA. UI is decent. $10 to transfer a domain. No upselling.

I find myself having to reboot the Android phone more often than I reboot Windows.
Really? Which device and firmware do you have? I'm curious.
Bookmarked.
Thanks. I'll look into it.

Not to mention, the spec for JSON fits on one side of a business card, readably.

would be interesting to see what they bring forth instead
possibly Spot
What a brave statement by an AC. Figures.
Please take your zomg_jews_rule_teh_world!!!! conspiracy theories elsewhere. It's not helping, and frankly, it's really old and repetitive.
....and after all this trouble, what would the content be?
Not even photos of the thousands of slaughtered Syrian citizens by their benevolent government would faze anon.
Maybe someone who actually has one can fill in the blanks here.
G+ can duplicate this as a subset of functionality, when a user chooses to make all their posts public.

Your gender complaint has been addressed.

Last I checked, this was optional.
