This completely goes against Apple's guidelines 3.1.2(a):
If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for. For example, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.
I wonder if there will be any repercussions. I doubt it.
Not such good news if you were supposed to have a meeting in the morning with people in the UK. Due to timezones, it's had to be rescheduled to Tuesday morning.
Yeah that was what initially got me to check status. Checked twitter and saw others with the issue. Tried to do voice only call but Google Voice was down as well.

> ...answer to the question of why we read, there is only one response that will ever be encompassing and ambitious enough: we read in order to know everything
Anecdotally, there's a large amount of people who will read a book wholly for the purpose of being able to say they've read it. Whether it's a sense of elitism, vanity or bits of both -- it's strikingly obvious when you ask deeper questions about a book and they can only respond with basic one sentences you could infer from the synopsis.
I believe the above has been amplified due to the false dichotomy of information technology vs good ol' books.

When I watch movies with some people they will be "I think I didn't see this one before". And then half way in, they are like "oh I remember this, I did watch it after all". Some people are just forgetful.
They might just not remember. I used to read the same book many times and still have fun, because when I fully immersed myself and enjoyed it, I often ended up not remember a lot. I still enjoyed the experience of reading.
I'm genuinely surprised they went with a pink/purple/light brown colour scheme, and didn't present any alternatives.
It seems very strange not to have selectable colour schemes - even a light/dark mode equivalent of their chosen palette would do wonders. Is this not standard now?
Do you have a signature image or other attachment? It sends instantly without, fails with [on the desktop web client]. The google drive server they save our stuff on is giving a 503.
Hmm odd. I had a draft from this morning (I took a photo on my phone, attached, then went to desktop later to type the rest up). It would not send and kept popping up that error you mentioned while typing. As soon as I deleted the attachment, I could send it. New emails with nothing attached work fine too in all 3 accounts.
I'm in a similar situation where I'm in Australia, but I work with many colleagues in the UK. This means late night meetings and work commitments that fall outside of the usual 9-5.
How do you stop it from going 9-9? Block out times in the middle of the day for leisure?
I'm in Germany and work for an Australian company. What I do is make sure I have 4 hours overlap for comms. The rest of the day is mine to structure as I want. Sometimes, if there is a deadline looming, that means working until the evening (like today) and other times I take my kids out to the playground. Come back and do some work for a few hours, then go biking, then maybe finish something off... or not. However I feel within reason basically.
We try to keep meetings to a minimum (the entire company's remote, so async has always been more central to our communication). If I do have to have one that's late for me, I'll usually make a point of taking some hours earlier in the day off to compensate.
