> For one because Google's Android does not qualify as a monopoly

They have over 70% of marketshare in the top 5 european countries. They may be technically not a monopoly, with those percentages their actions have a bigger impact and can certainly disturb a market.

> And the reason for why it doesn't make sense is because Google charges no licence money for Android

If I'm remember correctly that was also the argument some used regarding the Internet explorer case or Windows Media player. It was given away free.

Again it isn't about having a big market share, the price of the fact that an OS is flexible. It's about using your position to potentially disrupt a market.

Then again is also not because the EU is making a case that Google will be automatically found guilty or it won't be possible to defend themself.

> Oh, come on, you know that ain't true. They are targeting Google specifically because they don't want to share their Search & News revenue with a dying mass-media industry. And I'm saying this as an European.

European cartels, anti competitive behaviour etc have received the same scrutiny in the past. I think the highest fine is still the 990 million euro's Kone, Otis, Schindler and ThyssenKrupp received and they are European.

The reason why I'm stating this because I'm sick of tired hearing in these kind of discussions that Google only gets targeted because they are American while that is certainly not the case.

Errr, I wouldn't say they're that close to having a "near-monopoly". Or at least, back in 2011 I chose a Medicare Part D plan that used them, and they were so horrible I've made a point to never use a plan that uses them again, and that hasn't been difficult. For example, they didn't succeed in buying Caremark, bought by CVS, and that's whom I'm using this year, although I was not pleased when they bought Medco recently.

Erm.. I assumed when he said about capital vs marginal costs of solar it was because the capital is not too high(compared to coal and other power stations/generators). Wouldn't nuclear be the opposite. I can imagine proper waste disposal alone costing more than a solar setup.(I know the solar setup for a small farm-house was very cheap).
I would be curious to know if profile-guided-optimisation would also have helped.
It's not a myth that gyroscopic effects contribute to stabilization, but rather that it explains the stabilization fully. It's usually phrased as "scientists still don't understand how bikes work [in terms of their stability]", which is pretty amazing if you think about it.

Yes, Google are only showing users small snippets. That's probably fair use.

But what arguably might not be is Google scanning entire books en masse in order to get to the point where they can do that.
You're basically complaining that someone has information, or an agenda, or even a mere opinion, and has published it.
Wow is this really what your sample is like? Most people I know implicitly understand the concept of consumer choice and don't have any trouble applying that to OSes.

What I find interesting about it is new questions of sovereignty versus co-operation among the nations on earth.

None of the space treaties were written with the anticipation of actual profits in mind.

You could make the same argument about Antarctica, but [actually I don't have a good argument why we haven't exploited the resources there and would be interested to hear one. Just political suicide? Too expensive?]

When it's feasible to make money space mining absolutely all of these things will be rewritten, probably with a heavy dose of realpolitik.
Imagine we go to space and get access to infinite energy and infinite natural resources.

Does it solve world hunger ? Don't we already have more than enough food ?

Does it solve cancer ? ..

Does it solve the economical crisis we are in ? Its mostly due to lack of political organization and lack of education.

I think the argument that Neil Degrasse Tyson makes - about inspiring the young - it can be done by trying to solve world hunger, cancer, etc. We do not need to burn more fossil fuels to try to figure out how to mine the moon.

The biggest argument would be that we already have infinite resources here on earth. Space mining doesn't make much sense when you can much more cheaply extract resources from earth.

I think the biggest issues in society is education and healthcare. And the free market seems to direct us towards that anyway.

Healthy and educated people are inspiring - space mining seems to be trying to solve the wrong problem for the right reasons.

Thanks for the clarification, it seemed to me that the writer was using these numbers to justify Goyal's claim.

Arxiv is not peer reviewed. If you think we should get rid of that, make that argument; but keeping the review model and getting rid of access fees would increase costs elsewhere.

Regarding profit: sure, you could set up a nonprofit to do the same job. You'll end up reducing costs by 20-40%, even assuming you don't have higher costs because of lower scale/lack of experience/etc.

For other essentials like food, I've seen stories about nonprofits that get large groups together and buy in bulk. Co-ops are basically the same idea. Using a non profit to reduce costs has been done.
That's bad. Any chance to go home?
When South Africa (where I live), violated trade rules and put up barriers to US chicken imports, the US retaliated with barriers to the importation of some SA goods into the US. Eventually, SA gave in and removed the barriers.

IMHO Free trade of commodities (food, solar cells etc.) is a good thing.
It is cost to implement a new renewable energy source (solar power) based power plant vs a non-renewable energy source (coal) based power plant. I would have been happy even if the cost to build a solar power plant was 10 times the cost of a coal based plant as the latter has a negative long term impact on health and environment. The very fact that it is just 1.5 times the lower end of coal tariff is something to be happy about.
> The claim "you have one of 16 personality types" is not falsifiable. Why does it have to be one of those types?

We define there to be those types when we're measuring - that's like saying the claim "an object has a temperature that's a number" is not falsifiable. We can test the same object multiple times with multiple thermometers and get the same results (while getting different results for different objects). That's the part that's falsifiable - test-retest reliability. If we have that then we can be confident that our measure measures something. (Then the next step is seeing whether the measure is useful by seeing if it correlates with other things).

Years ago, I had intense debates with my mother about the Monica Lewinsky case. I made essentially the same point you're making here: that focusing on the power imbalance stripped Lewinsky of her agency as an adult woman. My mother's arguments that Bill Clinton had too much relative power (and was too much older) for the relationship to be reasonable didn't really sink in for me at the time.

As I've learned more about feminism in recent years, I've found myself thinking about Clinton and Lewinsky again, and I'm much more on her side now. (I still don't entirely buy the age-based concern that she raised.) Even if the relationship was entirely consensual and entirely initiated by Lewinsky and they were both happy about it, that still doesn't mean that it was healthy for the morale of their workplace, for all the reasons I listed before (quite apart from Kenneth Starr). I don't put primary blame on Lewinsky for that (though as an adult she ought to have known better): as the "boss" in the situation, it was Clinton's responsibility to turn her down, at least until he was out of office or she no longer worked for the federal government.

As for the flirty student seducing the professor, it takes two to tango. Speaking as a professor who's been pretty clearly flirted with at least once, I can tell you that I had no trouble at all indicating my lack of interest. I'm not condemning her for "setting back gender equality", but it was blindingly clear to me as the person on top of the power imbalance that anything other than a professional relationship would absolutely call my objectivity in the class into question. (In that particular case it didn't help that our broader conversation that day was about her concerns about her grade, but I would have had the same issues even if she'd had a solid A.) If a pairing like that were truly meant to be, the student would be welcome to come back and make a proposition after commencement. In the meantime, I can assure you that having my undergrads be "off limits" romantically doesn't feel like an undue burden on my love life. (Admittedly, I've been married the whole time I've been a professor. But the point still stands.)

Re: your last paragraph, about my 2nd paragraph: The original article that this whole thread is responding to is literally a collection of quotes and stories from women who found this sort of environment miserable and want it to change.

a crude way of looking at it would be to instrument the code to measure code coverage. some coverage tools support distinguishing which branches were executed and which were not (at a finer granularity than statement-level coverage).

this may not be exactly what you want - it would tell you "the branches were not taken during this run of the program", but not "it is logically impossible for this branch to be taken for any run of the program"
> The biggest argument would be that we already have infinite resources here on earth.

Earth's resources are very much finite and that's a fact. It's only a matter of a couple of decades before fossil fuels become extinct, our oceans are dying due to overfishing and pollution, rainforests are cut to make room for more agricultural land, existing agricultural land is acidified due to overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, potable water sources are vanishing, those solar panels that people keep talking about and the iPhone in your pocket need rare metals to be mined, etc, etc.

Also have you seen how open pit mining looks like, have you seen what it leaves behind? Earth mining is cheap only because the costs are subsidized by the environment. But of course, our children will pay the real bills.
Unless you user superconductors, like cooled aluminium (if I remember correctly). There is a lot of research in this area at the moment. If you cool a conductor low enough, the resistance reduces dramatically and you can transmit electricity with very little line loss.

VR places the user in another location entirely. Whether that location is ­computer-generated or captured by video, it entirely occludes the user’s natural surroundings.

In augmented reality—like Google Glass or the Yelp app’s Monocle feature on mobile devices—the visible natural world is overlaid with a layer of digital content.

In technologies like Magic Leap’s, virtual objects are integrated into—and responsive to—the natural world. A virtual ball under your desk, for example, would be blocked from view unless you bent down to look at it. In theory, MR could become VR in a dark room.
