Does anybody know if the username in Google Earth Engine can be changed? I signed up for GEE a while ago and without knowing what I was doing, I assigned it a username which was more the name of a project rather than a user name for the GEE account. Now I am stuck with it and I can't find any information on how to change it. The only answer I found related to this issue is here:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/362523/google-earth-engine-rename-assets
where it is suggested that in order to change the username we have to contact Google. Is that true?
Thank you!
After joining a GEE support group I learned that it is indeed not possible to change the username. This is something that needs to be requested directly to Google.

I am currently working on SAP Scripting with Python and I would like to ask you for an alternative way of getting the ID of an object.
I saw that the scripting tracker from Stefan Schnell would be perfect for this but unfortunately, I am working on my company-notebook on this topic (for bachelor-thesis) and Windows Defender is blocking the .exe
Since it would be quite hard to get my admin to amend my permissions, I thought maybe it is possible to get the ID from the information in "technical settings" from SAP itself.
According to an old quora-post this should be possible (https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-obtain-SAP-ID-Objects-to-write-SAP-Scripts-when-SAP-Script-Recording-is-disabled-in-my-company-Is-there-a-software-to-read-buttons-tabs-and-fields-names-IDs)
what I am having trouble with, is how to "translate" this information properly to make python understand it. According to the quora post, I have tried things like this:
session.FindById('wnd[0]/usr/SAPLMEGUI:1211/EMATN/MEPO1211-EMATN').text = "test"
which unfortunately did not work.
I have this project where I need to know if a visitor legitimately arrived from a QR code. Document.referrer value from a QR code shows blank. I have looked at some answers suggesting to put parameter in the query string (e.g. ?source=qr), but anyone could easily add the parameter into the URL and my code would believe it is from a QR code (e.g. www.project.com/check.page?source=qr) . I have thought of adding codes to make sure it is from a mobile phone / tablet as secondary way to authenticate but many browsers have add-ons to fool websites.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I think the best solution for you is creating your regional QR Codes pointing to:
Region 1) http://example.com/?qr=f61060194c9c6763bb63385782aa216f
Region 2) http://example.com/?qr=731417b947aa548528344fab8e0f29b6
Region 3) http://example.com/?qr=df189e7f7c8b89edd05ccc6aec36c36d
if the value of the parameter qr is anything other than f61060194c9c6763bb63385782aa216f, 731417b947aa548528344fab8e0f29b6 or df189e7f7c8b89edd05ccc6aec36c36d, then you can ignore it and assume the user didn't come from any QR Code.
Of course, any user can remove the source parameter. But at least he can't add a valid one, unless he really had access to the code.
...but anyone could easily add the parameter into the URL and my code would believe it is from a QR code
Well, anyone could also scan the QR code, view the link, and remove the source=qr from it.
Data collection is never 100% reliable. Users can change their browser's user agent, inject cookies with some strange values, open your page through a proxy server, and so on.
You could create your own device or App for scanning the QR-code. If you read the post I've linked, you will see that this is a waste of time and resources.
So, what is left is to make a solution which will work for most of the users. Appending a source=qr parameter to your URL seems to be the simplest solution. You could also link to an entirely different domain and redirect the request, so it would be more fraud-safe. But it will never be 100% accurate.
I have installed a Everest GPlaces Business Reviews and have found the place id that is required to be added. But it comes back Saying:
The provided Place ID is no longer valid. Please refresh cached Place IDs as per https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-id#save-id
I have read this but I have no idea where to add a field they talk about and am totally stuck. All the reviews plugins have this place id and I don't know what to do from here.
Hoping for some help with what to do. In basic language.
Thanks in advance
I'm no expert; I ran into this problem myself and to my knowledge it seems like reviews can't be pulled easily with most plugins, if the GMB is set up as anything other than a location with a physical address.
Instead of the Places API you'd want to use the My Business API... although if you are using a plugin (and don't want to add a physical location to your GMB) you're stuck.
I'm trying to use the "orderByChild" functionality provided by Firebase, but I stumbled upon a roadblock. The structure of my database is very simple, it looks a bit like this:
Root
Users
${UID}
ID
Name
Birthday
...
Now, I'd like to search other user's names without knowing their UID.
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem?
I could just download the users file completely but that does not seem like a good idea.
this about the question before posting it on stack overflow : you have to make a strategy to get this issue solved , I propose to you two possible solutions :
1)(very bad solution):
you parse the data from firebase and you put them in [<String , anyObject>] and you loop over this array in order to get the username that you want to get.
**
Ps: in term of performance and usability the worst thing that you
could do is to invoke the database to get unuseful data, so don't use
this solution in production.
**
2) you make a strategy for this:
look over what should be the relationship between a user and another and add new field for example friends and store on it the uids that you want to get.
I would like to know the meaning of the URL's provided by google for its Friend Connect.
For example, in the FCAUTH, the user details can be grabbed by sending a request to the following link and a JSON encoded string will be returned
http://www.google.com/friendconnect/api/people/#viewer/#self?fcauth=
Also for getting user activites, I came across a link as below
http://www.google.com/friendconnect/api/activities/#owner/#friends/#app?fcauth=
What if I change the #owner to #me or #viewer , what would be the meaning and would it be valid?
Example, if i change it as
http://www.google.com/friendconnect/api/activities/#me/#friends/#app?fcauth=
http://www.google.com/friendconnect/api/activities/#viewer/#friends/#app?fcauth=
Also, could some one suggest me where can I get the User Profile URL for the user using the same method as above?
Thankx guys
Thankx guys but I found the answer by myself. I thought of posting it here so that it might help others.
Its available in brief in the Opensocial website

Hope it helps some
