Finally YouTube is going to improve the dubbing feature with lipsync and potentially (looking at this example video) voice matching. That's great in general, and I'm very happy for my YouTube channel that can be better experienced by english speakers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W3n...

Remember kids, while bind values in SQL are almost always a good thing by default, sometimes, inlining a constant value into the query is better for performance. See this article:
