As part of the Android 11 launch,
the Google Play team announced new features
to help you acquire and retain subscribers
for your Android app.
As part of this effort, Google Play
will be changing the default settings
from a few subscription features as of November 1, 2020.
Check out the post to take a look at these changes
and see how to make sure your apps are prepared.
Cloud Firestore now has support for not equal queries
as well as not in queries.
This means you can now use a single query
to get all documents in a project's collection
where the project status field is not
equal to the value completed or all documents in a project's
collection where the status isn't
equal to completed or dropped.
Head on over to the post for just a bit more detail.
We launched Learn on developers.google.com,
a new one-stop destination to help you achieve the knowledge
and skills needed to develop software across many Google
technologies.
This site contains Pathways, a new way
to learn skills that organizes selected videos, articles,
blog posts, and code labs together in one
sequential learning experience.
Pathways finish with assessments that you
can use to earn badges, and these badges
become part of your developer profile
and can be shared on social media.

The post has more on how we implemented Menger using
Google TPU accelerators for fast training iterations,
covering its performance and scalability on the challenging
task of chip placement.
