> I'm assuming from context that you mean MySQL when you wrote "SQL"

Oops, yes—fixed it.
My hope is that they provide an opt-in method to bundle in google services.

I want google maps, youtube, shopping links, and largely view the search as a portal to the google platform. Removing this is removing a feature customers and the company wants, because other companies want to compete on individual products that may or may not be better while google is providing a platform with products you want integrated to simplify your life.

I'll take simplicity, trust and reliability over a dozen disconnected services from different companies that I don't know what their motives are. I know googles motives, and as a user of their platform otherwise this service is exactly what I want.

Ultimately my argument is if another company came along and did the exact same thing from the start (integrated platform with search etc...) no one would have an issue. the "Issue" is apparently google's existing search dominance. This is why i think it should be opt-in for users, and by default off. I don't think google is wrong for offering the service to users who want it, competitors have to provide a benefit or product that is so clearly better it offsets the benefits of a more integrated platform. That's the market/competition, not the EU's role.
They may not have the domain expertise though.

Economic models usually aren't used for precise, high-frequency decision-making. When you estimate an economic model, simply getting the right sign on your estimates is often enough to inform your decision. Choosing what to take as exogenous is a matter of judgment.

Would building high speed rail from NYC to Chicago be a net positive for consumer welfare? Well we can use estimates of how much people pay for various modes of transportation throughout the country, and how often they're used. We can also come up with an estimate of the cost of building the rail. The analogous effects to your feedback loop are equilibrium effects - for example if people start taking the new high speed rail then plane ticket prices will fall a bit. But it adds more uncertainty to the model, and we know that plenty of flights from NYC to Chicago are connecting flights, so probably the effects are pretty small, and we can just assume those prices stay fixed for the sake of tractability.

If you do this kind of calculation and find the rail project is a massive multi billion dollar money pit, you can confidently recommend against it despite the fact you've ignored some of the feedback effects.
True. People love to play at being victims of something. They absolutely love a ripper of a story of some absolute bad villain. Even if none exists. It's amazing the fictions that masquerade as truths, while everyone is out pretending they've got a monopoly on facts. I'd laugh if it wasn't so devastatingly sad. I'm still laughing tho. Maybe the internet virtualizes/fictionalizes everything and we're all just "victims" of our own creation. Frankennet.

You seem to have replied to the wrong comment.

I've read through the other thread, I couldn't find a comment that agrees with "connecting our users with thousands of advertisers, large and small, in ways that are useful for both."
You've got it backwards. That situation happened because a "more technology because computers and buzzwords and shit" resulted in political pressure to get stuff done and the end result was an OS jammed into a place it shouldn't have been without more testing and 3hr of downtime. That's why we run software that's been verified to work even if it's old.

This is not a valid complaint. Fining companies for breaking competition law is totally legitimate.
Hmm. A MOSFET for a motor switch might be overkill. Also, there's no flyback diode. So your Pi pretty much will let its blue smoke out when you get a flyback voltage, or at least the MOSFET.

Microsoft had a 95%+ Monopoly on Desktop Operating Systems and wouldn't allow you to remove IE, anyone can easily go to amazon.com, bing.com, ebay.com or visit any other website to do their shopping if they prefer to.
> Customs and Immigration are not there as an alternative comedy store anywhere in the world.

I participated in a student exchange program that traveled to Russia the summer after the USSR became the CIS. At the end of that trip, we took a buss from St. Petersburg to Helsinki, which required a passing through customs on each side of the border back-to-back.

Exit customs on the Russian side were what you would expect. The group leaders carefully warned us to be quiet/polite/no-jokes, have your passport/visa in hand, etc. It was a polite but very strict situation that created a small but persistent nervousness.

After the very-brief drive to the Finnish side, the customs official that boarded our buss to take the group's passports noticed this nervousness, paused briefly with a laugh, and said to our buss full of students, "Don't worry! You're not in Russia anymore! You can laugh!"
PostgreSQL has gotten massively easier in terms of replication during the 9.x series. It used to be the case that you cobbled something together yourself or had to rely on complex third party solutions that might do things like install a ton of triggers. Now it's about as simple as MySQL. But it took many years to catch up, so that definitively used to be a pain point.

The big remaining piece now is "sane" multi-master replication.

I agree - I use ImmutableJS in one of my projects and the pros vs cons are substantial - it's hard to keep track of when something is Immutable or not and it has been slowly infecting more and more of my codebase.

I would be interested in hearing strategies of mitigating this, my first step has been to let Immutable creep through the project, but adopt a convention of creating a layer through which guarantees JS output - anything that is logic related in my redux layer is Immutable, anything which is in my presentational react layer is JS.

The difficulty then, is at input points where I need to always remember to deal with nested data structures too.

It feels like a type checker would be of great use here to add additional guarantees about any data

I shouldn't be surprised that so many people support Google using their near monopoly on search to crush their subsidiary's (sibling's ?) competitors in other spheres; after all, I saw people support IBM and Microsoft when they were up to similar shenanigans.

Their statement is a lie. Google are trying to blur 'shopping ad' and 'search result'. The consumer is worse off because those items are not listed first on their search merit. The consumer is deceived. It is only useful to those who pay for the promotions and Google.

It's natural for companies to be drawn towards places that have less restrictions on businesses. It's to be expected, but that doesn't mean less restrictions is good for the society.
Although Google has done plenty for Technology and Humanity, when it comes to ads-marketing-tracking they are simply ruthless. Perhaps that penalty will make Google reconsider their stance on respecting everyone (and not just the ones who give them billions).

> Half didn't vote for Trump. Look again at the turnout rates.

You cannot claim that people who didn't vote don't support Trump (or vice versa, don't support Hillary). There simply isn't any data to support this.

That's fair. Any official statement by a corporation is total horseshit 100% of the time.

Corporations literally exist only to protect and grow their bottom line, and are engineered to reflexively throw everything else under the bus--employees, the environment, the general public, reason itself--to defend that goal.

Their statements will never come out and admit this, however, because it compromises that goal. Thus literally, literally everything corporations say in an official capacity is a lie, almost without exception. The subtext is always "we are doing this primarily because we believe it will help us make more money".

The best we can do in a capitalist society is create smart regulations that channel that inevitably self-serving motive to align as closely with what's good for society at large as possible.

That's not my impression - Google rarely shows me non-german shopping links. However their regular results results often tend to be a little too german / national for my taste.

One example are reviews (as in "{some product} review") - I often find that my search results are biased towards german reviews while I'd really prefer to see international reviews from the people most qualified to do so.

Sometimes when you go to google search, it will prompt you to download the their app, download chrome, use their native weather, news, etc. It is part of how they iterate on their core search product. If they decide to show Google shopping, isn't that their product decision?
> I understand that people from the countryside can be seen as kinder towards people they like but my impression is that hatred and prejudice is much more prevalent there...

That's not my experience at all. I dealt with more overt racism in NYC than any tiny red state town, and I've spent plenty of time in both. There are racist people everywhere, but even in rural areas, they tend to be ignorant and antisocial so they are not really in any position to oppress anyone.

People tend to mistake talking heads on TV for actual people. People also tend to mistake voting patterns for personal quality of character. There's a caricature on TV (a bigoted one IMO) that small towns are full of shirtless racist rednecks that throw beer cans at all minorities that wander in town. That's because it's a useful trope and an easy way to advance a narrative. Every all town church I'm aware of sends missionaries overseas to build schools, wells, etc. That doesn't mesh with the "we hate foreigners" narrative. I had dinner in a tiny red state town last week. The most popular place in town is run by Mexican immigrants. And it's thriving. Life is more complicated than most media lets on.

Even if we narrowed everything down to political views, the traditional red state view is that diversity in government (federalism) provides better prosperity, diversity, justice, freedom, and so on. Most red state types are fine leaving Colorado with its marijuana and Nevada with its brothels. They value the ability to self determine more than they value the ability to control other people.
This comment is spot on.
Actually if you have a device with ARKit on it, you can see for a fact that they do have relocalization: cover the lens for a few seconds until tracking is lost, then return to the point of origin, you will see that the intial cube (placed at the origin) snaps back to the correct place.
What they probably don't do is global mapping of the entire session.

I think it really depends on the product (e.g. having Google Maps integrated is not a bad idea, because that's what you usually want to access if you enter a address in Google).

But honestly, I don't know anyone that is happy with the Google Products service in Germany. They don't even show links to Amazon here, although they often have the best total price (because of free shipping). I even know a lot of people that go directly to Amazon or a price comparison site because the results presented by Google are so crappy.

As results might be different based on country, region and cookie, here is a screenshot comparing idealo (a large price comparison site) with Google Product search (I just picked this specific product randomly): http://imgur.com/a/MByay

It's really simple: Corruption. The former FTC Commissioner, Joshua Wright, was actually paid to fabricate academic studies claiming Google wasn't a monopoly, which Google then used as 'independent' expert testimony. Google's funded about half of Congress in some way or another. Dozens of Googlers held high-ranking positions in the Obama Administration's White House. (Including many relating to tech, such as the head of the Patent and Trademark Office, the White House's CTO, etc.)

Google has invested significant money, resources, and manpower in the United States government, and at least, during the Obama administration, was perceived as an ally to the general agenda. We have yet to see how much changes under Trump, the rumor is Joshua Wright is already back involved with the FTC, but the Trump administration has lagged on actually getting all these agencies re-staffed, and who knows what'll actually happen: https://theintercept.com/2016/11/15/google-gets-a-seat-on-th...

The most enduring memory from TI-99 wasn't the games like MunchMan and Parsec. Instead, it was a specific oddity of the TI-BASIC language.

In the free TI-BASIC (built into ROM), the language had no boolean operators like "OR", "AND". Instead, what programmers did was use math tricks to simulate those booleans ... something like this:

Simulate "OR" boolean:

IF (X=3) + (Y=5) THEN

Simulate "AND" boolean:

IF (X=3) * (Y=5) THEN

As a child, it was extremely confusing to read those lines of code. Why in the world are we adding or multiplying nonsense like that?!? It turns out the programmers took advantage of any value greater than 0 as "TRUE", and 0 as false. Therefore, if either side evaluated to 0, multiplying the conditions would be FALSE.

However, you paid $100 extra for TI EXTENDED BASIC cartridge[1], that language had extra fancy features like the keywords "AND" and "OR". No more workarounds using "+" and "* " operators. That was progress in 1980s.

That early lesson in "inherent complexity" has affected how I view arguments today about "language simplicity". Not having things like "AND" "OR" makes the language syntax's formal specification simpler on a superficial level but it ends up making it more complex in user code.

Like always, one has to pick the right tool for the job.

It looks like PostgresSQL would be a much better tool in quite a few cases and it's now a lot clearer to me which cases are.

MySQL's ubiquity is hard to beat, and there are a lot of tools for it, but it could definitely improve in a few aspects and PostgreSQL does do a better job at those (key-value and JSON indexing are particularly useful for me).
