    Ulbricht used the username "Altoid" to announce Silk Road on early forums. After some time, he used his real email address on Ross.. @ Gmail .com to ask for programming help. An Irs investigator put 2+2 together and caught him because of stack overflow logs, time zone and server

    Claude Cowork just got 10x more powerful! Glean benchmarked centralized vs federated MCP in Claude Cowork. Same harness, same model, same queries, different context layer. The federated approach: Each data source (Gmail, Slack, Drive, Salesforce) has its own MCP server. Claude calls each one separately. That's 5-10 tool calls per query. Each source returns results with different quality and ranking. Claude over-fetches to compensate for weak search. Then it filters and synthesizes everything with LLM reasoning. Often needs retry loops when results miss. Burns 50-80k tokens per query. The centralized approach: All data from every source gets indexed into one unified layer. Knowledge graph connects entities across sources. Claude makes one MCP call. Gets back the top ranked results. No over-fetching, minimal filtering needed. Uses 42-44k tokens consistently. The results: Centralized indexing preferred 2.5x more often. Federated consumed 30% more tokens on average. When federated finally got correct answers, it burned 83k tokens vs 43k for centralized. The gap widened as tasks got more complex. Simple tasks: centralized won 66% of the time. Complex tasks: 73%. Why centralized wins: Over-fetching doesn't just cost tokens. It dilutes the context window with noise and contradictory information. Models have finite attention. Cramming 50-100 items hoping the right ones are in there doesn't work as well as getting the right 5-10 upfront. Federated search also loses cross-application signals. Things like document relationships, who authored what, and how content is used across the enterprise. These signals improve ranking but they only exist when data is indexed together in one layer. The compounding problem: In multi-step tasks, each missed or incorrect retrieval compounds. By the time you reach the final output, you're working with flawed data. More tool calls and reasoning loops don't fix this. They just burn more tokens trying to recover. You can't brute-force around bad search. More tool calls, more data fetching, more reasoning loops don't fix poor context quality. They just burn more tokens. Why this matters: Token costs are surging. Reasoning models cost more. Companies are burning through AI budgets faster. Federated search compounds the problem. Better search architecture beats more compute. I've shared the link in the replies!

    @vinserastore If you don't want to log out, don't use it for a moment, but if you are login with gmail, you can delete the app and log in again with that gmail.

    @MightyQ @Wizards You may have had technical issues on your end as I have an account using gmail. Additionally, you have to be in the waiting rooms prior to launch otherwise you'll for sure never get product like this. The lottery system chooses your place in line right when the clock strikes the hour. Seconds after and you've already missed the initial wave. Their business strategy will never let them go back to print to demand for every lair. Maybe some in the future.

    @StevenEdginton I’ve been a google marketer for 25 years. When Pichai became CEO he moved critical google services to India. Since then Google products have had nothing but problems. Errors in analytics. Ruined search and advertising. Even gmail has had data breaches.

    Offering Premium Purchases in Your app? Here’s how to let reviewers test it in App Store Connect Step 1: E-Mail You need to have an e-mail which is not yet registered with an Apple ID! Make a dedicated E-Mail for this sandbox account. 
You can use some services like proton mail or gmail, depending on what works for you. 
The E-Mail name could include something like “app testing“ or “sandbox“, so you won’t mix it up with anything else.

Step 2: Open Sandbox go to App Store Connect Go to Users and Access Open the Sandbox tab Click the + button
 Step 3: Creating the Account Enter first & last name Your new email address A new password (you will need to provide this password in the future, so save it somewhere) Country Then click Create Step 4: Using the Account Go to your app you want to submit Scroll down until you can see your current build, under this is the app review information Check that login is required For the user data fill in your sandbox account data Step 5: Notes Field In the notes field say something like “To test premium: on the test device go to Settings - Developer - Sandbox Apple Account - log in with provided Sandbox Account.“ Like this, the reviewers can test your premium features!

    Is anyone else possibly having trouble with Gmail? I'm overdue for responses on maybe ten different emails, most of them business-related. I don't even know if the businesses received my emails. Yes, I did follow-up on a few. Still no response.

    Real example Gmail login: You type your email and click "Next." Most people think it's just validating the email. It's actually pre-warming your session, resolving your account type, and preloading the password screen. By the time you see the password field, the backend already knows who you are.

    He used my email server and then rage it wasn't working...but wasn't paying for the service, the server or my time fixing it....so he got a lot of short shrift cos I wasn't his IT support person. Told him to **** off and use Gmail or Hotmail or something else...he never did.
