But what bit of the battery are you weighing?

If you look at how Tesla do their batteries there is the actual chemistry bit on some thin foil that is separated with some thin plastic. This is then put into a metal cylinder. This is then wired up in a module that holds the cells. This is then put in a tray that holds all of the modules. Then these trays are placed into a semi-structural floor unit which then has a titanium protection shield under the car.

So now the chemical bits that could probably fit in a beer bottle now weigh a metric tonne and are too big for all but American roads (Tesla cars are boat sized in Europe, too wide for garages and country lanes or city streets).

Meanwhile ICE juice is measured without the matryoshka dolls of containers within containers. Nobody takes the weight of the container into consideration.

Hopefully someone will one day invent structural batteries where the whole thing is a battery that neither zaps you or boils you to death. Then adding a few seats will add to the range. If you have to have a cabin anyway then, if it had dual use as energy storage, the actual energy density would not have to be in the same league as highly explosive hydrocarbons.

There should be easy wins in this, e.g. a bicycle. The current generation of electric bikes go for the bracket + holder + container of containers mounted as high as possible for poor centre of gravity. I am sure there are exceptions but ultimately the battery will end up in the frame tubes and you could double energy density plus power to weight just by taking the integrated approach.

I know nothing about engineering and why batteries have to be ultra bulky but I hope that we don't just stick with ICE because petrol is more energy dense.
Default apps are often built-in and can't be uninstalled. But you can disable them. See https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2521768 for details. If you do this then it's worth uninstalling any updates to the app first, to free-up some space.

Your comment is totally bogus.
You can buy older (but unused) Macbook Pro with these specs (except it's 4 core instead of 6) for $1000 and it has way more battery life, nicer screen and better touchpad.
He was a terrible leader. Racist and horrifically anti Semitic, aggressive, incompetent as a military leader and in domestic policy. The number of deaths directly attributable to him is right up there with most the other Russian leaders. This doesn’t justify what happened to him, but certainly helps explain it.
I've had to do the same this summer in the UK. It's the first time we've had weather hot enough to trigger a problem, but it has been CRAWLING. :(

Apple doesn't try to tap markets that doesn't own and to force their own ecosystem into those markets. Google does. That's the fundamental difference.

It is okay for them to do whatever they want with their Nexus/Pixel devices, since they fully own them. But forcing some random DTV vendor to install Google Search, Google Social Network, Google Online Shop, Google Payment System, Google This and Google That, just because the vendor chose to adopt a free operative system into their system, it's just abuse of power and monopoly.

It automatically gives Google an advantage over the Search, Online Shop, Social Network, etc, markets. It is basically impossible to start a new video streaming business in the DTV market, for example, when you know that every single DTV system has Youtube already installed just because Google mandates so. And Youtube is "good enough" for 90% of the people.

The entire world doesn't suddenly owe something to Google just because they made something open source.
GOG is doing just fine, including AAA titles as Witcher3. It's the only place I buy games from.
I know it's HN and YC and all, and Stripe sounds nice and all, but I have never seen it 'out in the wild'. Not once! I'm in Europe and I surf a lot (even buy stuff online often), so what gives? Do I hang around wrong parts of the internet or Stripe hasn't reached out as far yet?

Also, Stripe co-founder claims here in the comments that vast majority of their employees ("and there are now more than 1,000) work on their core functionality. I presume core functionality isn't sales. What the hell, man? Quick google search reveals Windows 7 development team was 960 people, more or less. Sure, microsoft has other teams that service OS dev team with their tools and whatnot, but so do we have those 'out in the open' with OSS. I can't even imagine what I could accomplish with a dev team of 1,000 competent developers.
Because crime at that level pays and we're talking $$$. The fine is just a slap on the wrist in the overall scheme of things.
The one I have(9333) is literally identical in form factor and inside construction to the Air - if you open the bottom cover, the layout of everything is exactly the same, it's as if Dell copied the whole design as-is. Nowadays the XPS 13 has exceeded everything the Air can offer, but just couple years ago that was not the case.
Fragment of wikipedia about politics absolutism: According to some political theorists, complete obedience to a single will is necessary to maintain order and security. Android is more secure and ordered the way it is, but in the long term absolutism is a way of slavery and we need the opportuntiy of change and improvement, not slavery.
But why would company B go to company A and ask them to make a phone "for them"?

It's not hard to become a phone maker these days, judging by the sheer number of Android OEMs that are out there (hundreds, I believe). If there was huge untapped demand for Android sans Google then a new company would appear, they'd download the Android code, they'd go to Shenzen and do a deal with a white label manufacturer, and they'd make such phones. Google wouldn't stop them because they'd be a company that doesn't make any other kinds of phones.

We know this is possible because there's one huge market where that's normal, China. Google's services are blocked in China anyway, so there's no point adding their app store or mapping apps. Local firms produce local versions of Android for their own market and it works fine. We also know this because Amazon tried it and they weren't sued or anything.

There are also open source spins of Android that have custom app stores like F-Droid. A new phone maker could ship those too.
Per capita the US spends more. But the EU still spends a lot and has more citizens.
it seems likely that if Android wasn't "free" it would not have gained almost 100% of the market share in licensable mobile OSs, so there would still be the same amount of phone makers, but with more OS fragmentation.

Which is as it was before, of course.
Is this website seriously running off of a raspberry pi? I’m getting a 404 page with Apache/2.4 (Raspbian) in the metadata.
The EU is not using Google or any other company as a piggy bank. Google is doing business in the European Union making tens of billions of dollars and they should follow the rules, just like their European, American and Asian competitors.

It's not like you have to be a legal genius to know the rules. They are right in the treaty (think of it as the EU constitution) and Google know about the many previous cases interpreting the rules that share similarity with theirs, including Microsoft's case about bundling Explorer with Windows and making it the default browser.

So Google and their hundreds of lawyers are well aware of the rules against abusing dominant position. Nevertheless, they have chosen to ignore the rules - maybe because they stood to gain so much money on breaking the rules.

When Google does business in Europe, they make use of European laws such as the trademark rights that grant them exclusivity to the brand "google", the copyright that grant them exclusivity to their source code, patent rights that grant them exclusivity to their many inventions, and hundreds of other laws that ensure that Google - just like European counterparts - can rely on the rule of law to protect them while they make money. Google itself has likely benefited tremendously from the exact same European competition law, that they are now fined for breaking. Were it not for such laws, Microsoft or Apple could and would likely have toppled Google from the advertisement market simply by forcing their own search engines, browser, maps, emails etc. on users of their operating systems.

Whether the administrative decision of the European commission to fine Google will hold up in court will be seen if Google decides not to accept the fine. So far the European Commission has had a good track record.
Open plan offices for any kind of knowledge work should be made illegal since they are a health hazard. Private offices should be the norm.

This would benefit everyone as open plans destroy productivity. The "free market" (oligopoly) has obviously failed here so the state needs to step in.
The first edition MacBook Pro had widespread issues with thermal paste back in 2006 that led to random shutdowns and led to a recall to re-apply new paste (I had one and had to get the paste re-applied).

Future generations of MBPs didn’t have the same problems.

The point is: shit happens with any product, the question is will you be supported well? Apple’s history here has generally been good but occasionally they’ve made major blunders (eg. the iBook motherboards about 17-18 years ago).

Their size leads to amplification of issues beyond reasonable response. The keyboard issues for example are way overblown. We have thousands of MBPs and hundreds of Touchbar MBPs at our company and there hasn’t been a widespread keyboard failures.
Sorry if it was unclear. The first issue is Google pushing the search engine on mobile devices.

For context they also push Google search to iOS devices (Apple gets huge amount of money for that), the same way as they pay firefox to have Google as their default search engine.

The issue though, is that for android phones, it's not a "let's make a deal, we will pay you to have Google Search" attitude. You can't make an android device integrated with Google Play app store without also having Google Search in the home screen and as default search engine.

What the EU is fining among others, is the business practice of forcing device makers that want to use the Play Store to also bundle the other service (Search).
That’s not the only way. Independent government auditors could make their own profits assessment and work off that. This is exactly what is done in other jurisdictions and other industries.
Google's profits are a bit weird right now, thanks to the new us tax law. (I wrote more about that at the end)

Their 2016 profit was $19.4 billion and without the one-time foreign asset charge it would have been $22,4 billion, as such the fine compromises less than 1/4 of googles earnings.

Their European revenue was $22.6 billion out of $90 billion total revenue for 2016.

This makes it look like an incredible high fine. It's important to notice that the revenue in Europe is mostly google ads. The total revenue for alphabet is also bloated by thing stuff like other bet, which produce $400 million revenue and $900 million loss. Or to put it more bluntly, the revenue in Europe has a stronger influence on alphabets profits than the revenue in the USA.

I still think the fine is incredible high, one reason for this might be a lack of commitment from google after they were fined for $2.4 billion last year.

This being the second time google breaks European anti trust laws. In a really short time.

Last year they were fined for what Brusels describe like this in their press released: Since the beginning of each abuse, Google's comparison shopping service has increased its traffic 45-fold in the United Kingdom, 35-fold in Germany, 19-fold in France, 29-fold in the Netherlands, 17-fold in Spain and 14-fold in Italy.

A bit more on why google earnings are weird:
"For the quarter of 2017 that ended on December 31, 2017, it actually recorded a loss of $3 billion, but that was due to a one-time foreign assets charge due to the recently passed U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. If that is excluded, Alphabet would have had net income of $6.8 billion, up from $5.3 billion compared to a year ago. "

yearly
"For the entire 2017 fiscal year, Alphabet recorded revenues of $110.8 billion, up from $90 billion in 2016. Net income was $12.6 billion for the 2017 fiscal year, compared to $19.4 billion in revenues in 2016, once again reflecting the one time charge due to the tax law change."

In your calculation, you are assuming that all of those files are in independent parts of the folder hierarchy. In practice, deep directory structures mean that single commits are likely focused in a few very deep folders. We ran the statistics on a number of repos with different shapes to come up with this number, and it covers 99% of commits that we measured.

It apparently can bring out already dormant mental illnesses but is not in any way associated with the formation of new mental illnesses.

We all know LSD was literally available _at the pharmacy_ in the USA up until the mid 60s right? The entire nation didn't go insane... And you can bet your ass a pharmacy will at least ID people trying to buy it, you'll know exactly how much you're getting, and there could probably even be an information packet to go with it. Currently if you want it you have to risk persecution, have no idea what strength of dose you'll be receiving, and there's definitely no information packet unless you look it up yourself.

At the end of the day criminalization is causing more harm than it's solving. People have issues with all sorts of things, alcohol is a lot more negative but totally legal.

In general the proper tact is to ensure access to healthcare and opportunities in our society. Then those with dormant or non dormant mental illnesses are more likely to receive the attention they deserve. Access to opportunities means people get involved in their communities and projects and become passionate about something and are less likely to abuse drugs overall.

Or you can spread hogwash like "LSD makes ya insane" which is not directly what you said but how people will read it.
Not only does it get worse the bigger the offender is; in law, generally there are specific actions that you're not allowed to take iff you're dominant in the market.
This is PySide, which is LGPL - so you shouldn't have any trouble using it commercially.
So, according to the EU, it is illegal to open source OS components (thus allowing anyone to use it without further input from Google as long as the license is followed), but then close source other components and the services that drive them, although they are given out for free, but require specific licensing in the contract to distribute said free closed source components and services on their OEM devices, of which the sale of said devices does not earn Google money as they are provided to OEMs and users for free?

In addition, said closed source components and services are merely defaults, and you can install anything you want?

Example: Bing Search, Cortana with full Android Assistant support, Microsoft Launcher (which has full Bing and Cortana support, just like Pixel Launcher has for Google), and Microsoft Edge.

Further Example: TouchWiz, Bixby, Samsung Browser, Samsung App Store, Samsung Pay, Samsung Everything. If there is an AOSP/Google app, Samsung has probably replaced it with a custom app that is not based on the AOSP/Google version and has generally ruined their phones with them.

I guess the EU has to fine Microsoft and Samsung too, since they also give away closed source OS components for Android, and they can only be used with Microsoft and Samsung services... even though it is optional to use them and can be replaced with something else.

I guess the EU has to fine Apple too, since they do not allow third party components at all, all the way from third party app stores, third party browsers, or anything deemed "overlaps with functionality in iOS (retroactively as well)".
That's not really true like you think, though.

They simply have different health risks than you. It is a deep hole here - should an employer be penalized for a bad work environment (stress, working long hours, lack of sick leave, and so on) that many office workers face? After all, these things lead to more sickness and a greater chance of mental health issues.

How do you figure the risk of accident for the roofer compared to the risk of obesity, carpal tunnel, and back issues tied to a nice office job? Does your risk of injury while jogging for exercise increase? How about that increase in detrimental health effects from the commute? Do you give the roofer bonus points for leading an active lifestyle due to their work? Doesn't an active lifestyle carry its own risks?
Netflix pay for their own uplinks.

That is fair.

They shouldn't pay for our downlinks, that we've already paid for.

That would be double dipping or something by our isps.
They can chose any open-source license. With PyQT being under GPL you're force to use the GPL, too (you can always dual-license though).

The grinning face example is out of date now. https://emojipedia.org/grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes/ Apple switched to a
happy face in iOS 10, and Twitter switched at some point too. Given the timing, it might've been a direct response to this paper.

Historically, this issue stems from it being an original DoCoMo emoji. https://d2jv9003bew7ag.cloudfront.net/uploads/Original-Emoji...

My understanding is that when Apple was implementing these, read the bottom left graphic here as rectangular by choice. At 12x12, it's pretty ambiguous. Then Unicode got into the mix, called it a 'grinning face', and newer sets went in that direction.
Either their infrastructure supports what the customer is paying for or it doesn't. If the ISP is running crusty old routes they're slacking and customers should migrate away from them as soon as feasible.

ISPs should provide connection to the internet for their customers in exchange for a monthly bill. How they do that isn't the customer's concern and it shouldn't be Netflix's concern. The only ISP Netflix should be paying is their own link to the internet (AWS last I heard)

Side note, Netflix isn't using any traffic. They're not sending me a UHD video stream unsolicited. I'm using the traffic.
After experimenting with psychedelics in my late teens (mid 90s) I wanted to know more and got a Bsc in Neuroscience from Manchester University.

My thesis was on how research in psychedelics can help us learn more about schizophrenia (I wasn't interested in any of prescribed topics so my lecturer said I could do whatever but it would have to be without guidance).

Scientific knowledge won't help much in the way of steering clear of a bad trip. It's more about common sense (set / setting, dosage) and knowing yourself and your own mind.
Not really, because if there's no LSD there will be another trigger. People are sane forever or eventually have breakdowns, very very few people live on the edge, that's why it's impossible to draw a correlation out of the data.
The absence of competition is a sign a free market is not working as intended. The rules and benefits of free markets ceases to apply. A monopoly is a market failure and requires intervention.

Free market advocates are always talking about regulations and the need for free markets but don't seem to care so much about monopolies, outsize profits, the accumulation of market power and its abuse that further impedes the operation of free markets and the billionaires that result.

Chargeback fees are the card clearing services way of discouraging chargebacks/disputes. They charge everybody them. The large banks put way more money through them than you're talking about, and they have fairly high write-off levels just because it's not worth raising a dispute unless you're damn sure the other party will be hit with the costs.

A significant amount of the time when you call your provider about a dispute (fraud or non-fraud), they will just pay out of their own pocket rather than raise it with Visa/Mastercard/whomever, it's just not worth the risk of being hit with the fees. (Unless they decide it's your fault, in which case they'll tell you to suck it up.)

Ask HN: How to stop Google indexing dynamic search pages?
Hey HN folks,

A few months ago I received a manual action penalty from Google as they detected spam pages on our domain. The problem was that when people were searching on our site they are directed to a page with the following:

https://$domain/search?query=$QUERY

Some users (most likely bots) are generating huge spam searches on our search page and somehow Google is indexing these and there are no inbound links to these pages (at least I cannot find any).

To resolve this I did the following:

* On our search page I set the following header: X-Robots-Tag: noindex (based off of the documentation here https://developers.google.com/search/reference/robots_meta_tag).

* Submitted URLs to be dropped from Google Index via Webmaster console

* Submitted 3 reconsideration requests to Google to avoid the penalties

In theory this should stop all search pages being indexed (as they all contain the noindex header) and it has helped drop the number of indexed pages marked as spam by 99% however we still have a significant number of urls marked as spam and so our site has a penalty from Google.

Has anyone had this issue before? How can I stop these pages becoming indexed when I have the noindex header set _and_ if you search the spam urls there are no inbound links to them?

Any help appreciated folks!
The customers of the ISP have paid to connect to the internet. Netflix isn't generating the traffic, the customers are, and if the ISP wants to serve the customers they need to provide bandwidth to the places they want to go.

Shaking down the destination, because the ISP controls the customer is wrong on many levels.
I'm guessing that they did, and probably came to the conclusion that they'll make more money than the fine that gets imposed. I wonder if they were right?
