Will an app that requires sensitive/restricted scopes need to be fully reverified if new scopes are requested?

We are building an app that indexes material from different sources to help users see search results from all their apps in a unified flow. This requires some sensitive/restricted scopes from Gmail and Drive.If/When we decide to add Google Calendar, will the whole app need to be resubmitted for verification or is it enough with only the new scope(s) added?

Why is "using namespace std;" considered bad practice?

1189I have heard using namespace std; is bad practice, and that I should use std::coutskytvwhatsapp and std::cin directly instead. Why is this? Does it risk declaring variables that share the same name as something in the std namespace?

"What is BigQuery?" for rookies

Okay, you made it here, you want to get your hands more into GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and you are interested to know: “What is BigQuery?”. You keep hearing it all the time.  Well, imagine you have a shop and you want to analyze buying habits of  your clients during the summer period. That’s relatively easy: If you have a database, you can run a query and get some results, right?But what if you don’t have just a single shop, and you have thousands of shops? What if you want to get more detailed answers? Let’s say you want to figure out the buying habits of your clients by month, by region, by SKU? Things would definitely get more complex! It’s pretty simple to understand that the more information you have to search within, the more time it will take to get an answer back. And to get that answer back faster, you need more infrastructure. More infrastructure means more servers, more electricity, more personnel for maintenance, more licenses for software, more this, more that…Well, here
