Trump to China: obey my command or I will destroy the United States

r/LegalAdviceUK u/ShavedAp3 • 3d Join Google want to charge me 7 k for API access what can I do as they are denying appeals Debt & Money Hi there and thanks for reading. I tried to keep this brief and just ended up rambling on trying to get as much in as possible so here is my edited hopefully a lot smaller problem. Google are charging me 7k for a mistake that I told them about within a day, the bill went from about £45 to 16k in a day! when I asked for help I was told "dont worry well reset it as a one off, you'll need to put measures in place and ill guide you through those after you agree" So i did he then said "I will monitor it for a further 24 - 48 hours and then tell you how to put the measures in place. " Less than 24 hours later the bill was now 23k and I found out how to stop it myself. Then came the long back and forth to get it reset. Fast forward 5 months they have finally given me a 20k credit but with VAT the total bill at the time of the credit was 27k The 20k would have cleared the costs at the time of making them aware they claim its both our responsibilities to monitor costs I feel I did that by contacting them as soon as I saw the irregularity. I asked them to reconsider they said no the appeal has said that is their final offer so 1 now owe 7k. Is there anything I can do here from a legal standpoint. I don't have 7k I barely have £45. Thanks for reading I am in England if it helps.

Intentional or not, OP used either 36k (16 + 20) or 43k (16 + 27) of API credit. Obviously what API it is matters, but with google maps, 16k would equate to ten million pulls. Or two hundred thousand Gemini 2.5 calls with 1000 token input and 5k token output. Those aren't numbers that something running correctly should run up for any average person or company. So either google screwed up something (which is unlikely that it would only happen to one person in the entire network) or OP has some app or something which isn't running properly and is sending too much to the API. Edit: It was OP's app, polling google maps nearly 40 times a second for days. tom_watts • 3d According to other posts he ended up polling Google maps direction API 2300 times per minute for a few days. Looks like a combination of OP not knowing coding and asking ChatGPT to do it for him, and potentially Google's backend doing something weird in interpreting the janky code. ••• 146

ShavedAp3 OP • 3d Even if that was the case and it wasn't the sign up process doesn't have the documentation I refer to. Funnily enough though asking an LLM to help me find it still took some digging after it did. If you work in the field im sure its easy but those just tinkering or learning not so much. If google didnt want people like me using it they could make it far harder to do so, they could have hard limits in place for sole users to prevent stuff like this and so many other things. Should they well clearly they don't think so and no doubt you agree that doesn't make it the right opinion it just makes it yours. • • • 4

guy in a legal advice reddit wants to know how to get out of paying google the money he owes them after vibe coding one of his apps into running 40 times a second for several days straight, but says it's not his fault bc they should have stopped him by making it harder to use

LMAO getting ads pushed to their overpriced cars now 🤣🤣🤣

Anyway, he was awesome and the best neighbor I've ever had. Helped him install gutters, he helped me do some work around my house when I went to sell. People are people. People are generally good. Doesn't matter where they are from. Just treat people like people. It ain't hard.

I'd do this on occasion for him over the next few months. Hoo boy, did he pay me back ten fold. I screwed up my ankle and was on crutches for weeks. He saw me come home from the hospital and my lawn was mowed the next day. He kept mowing it for like 3 months. Would check in on me weekly.

Story time.

My neighbor in grad school was a migrant from El Salvador. Spoke just enough English to get by. We'd chat while out doing yard work. Super nice guy, worked a shift job at a factory. One day I was mowing my lawn and just took care of his front with mine because it was an extra 5 minutes.

[Thread] Following along with the NE US weekend forecast & wondering why models are all over the place with the nor'easter?

Here's a good place to start: notice how a potent cutoff low in the 12z ECMWF is completely missing in the following 18z ECMWF run - only 96 hours out!

Loooooooool. Like, feel terrible for the kids who were sold something this was never going to be. But watching this train wreck has been entertaining.

Imagine if health care was just something everyone had, and not a zero sum competition between "good" people and "bad" people

Highly unusual situation approaching western Colorado with the moisture from Hurricane Priscilla. Grand Junction has never had precipitable water over an inch (25mm) so late in the year, but looks like it will be near that level on both Fri & Sat. Six standard deviations above average! #cowx 1/2

Just claim pre-existing condition. They can't (and won't) ask what it is.

That being said, this is intentional. Leave it alone and you set a horrifying precedent. Fight it and Rs get to blast out how Ds refuse to fund WIC. Brilliant politics, if it weren't literally undermining our Constitution and foundations for our Democracy.

Looking forward to what creative (read: made up) way the Supreme Court finds to justify completely ignoring Article I of the Constitution.

Love to see it. Keep going.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

12 years is a long time. A good stretch. But the EF-5 “drought” has ended.

Also, this is a lesson to the Monday morning quarterbacks that this took *3 months* to confirm. Good analysis takes time. So save your hot takes immediately after an event.

Rowan's own college admission story is: he was pre-law at Cornell but didn't like the coursework so he called Penn and they said sure and put him into the Wharton undergrad program.

Maybe that explains why he thinks university admissions are a joke: his was.
