It's part of the current administration's energy agenda, President Trump signed executive orders a couple of months ago, to increase nuclear energy capacity by 400% in the next 25 years, revising regulations, and expediting review and approval of reactor projects, which seems like the most effective strategy for expanding clean energy production.

I really enjoyed your "Making Crash Bandicoot" blog posts and the "War Stories" video. I would love to read about your work on Jak & Daxter and working on the PS2.

You cannot subscribe to podcasts unless you enable the recording of Web & App Activity on your Google account. Doing so will record and associate all your search and browsing activity with your Google account. Using Google Assistant also requires the same setting and more to be enabled. A deal-breaker.

But at least they let you manage your privacy settings in one place and is somewhat consistent. Cannot really say the same for Amazon for example.

Is there a reason why YouTube can’t implement something similar to Twitch subscriptions and Patreon backing to YouTube? I see that an increasing number of smaller YouTubers are relying on Patreon to supplement their income because their YouTube revenue has been cut significant.

A smaller number of dedicated fans are willing to pay more money directly to the creators that they enjoy and connect with.

How does this affect their relationship with advertisers more than YouTube Red, if at all?

I don't understand the difference either other than Assistant seems to be replacing Now. The issue, I'm finding, is that Google Assistant requires that you turn on the recording of usage data and history to your account, such as Web & App activity, Location History, Voice & Audio activity. All recorded and tied to your account. I don't believe this was the case with Google Now.

Google, to their credit, normally allows you to erase all this data and turn recording off, but with Google Assistant, they require it all to be on and recording. I avoid using it because of this restriction.
