> While it's certainly Apple's prerogative to play EU states off against each other to get the best deal

It certainly IS NOT. When Apple "get's a deal" it is by definition market manipulation. You're not supposed to "get a deal" regarding taxation!

The same taxation rules must apply to every company or else there is illegal subsidy. The whole idea around "making a deal" on tax is horrendous anti-capitalist BS.

It's exactly the same as "making a deal" wrt the law in a corrupt country. A corporation "making a deal" by having government look away when they do something illegal, or getting their competitors fined on dubious charges.

Apple, Google, Microsoft, and basically all of those companies ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH for not refusing do to business with the market-corrupting Irish Republic.
Same problem, I resorted to just have a fan blow on it to help with getting the heat away...
I think Tomte is referencing that it is illegal (and dangerous see guy who died when auto-pilot drove into the back of a truck) to let the autopilot drive unassisted, for example reading a book or falling asleep.

I got the impression though that OP was stating that they used theirs as a "second pair of eyes" and added safety device when they do things in the car that require their hands and attention. This, to me, is perfectly fine. I know people who get around this in normal cars by driving with the knees, or just taking their eyes off the road for "just a second". Using autopilot has got to be safer than that.

I once had a wasp fly right into my face when I was driving, auto pilot would have been great, luckily I was on an empty road, but if I was unlucky enough to need to react fast as that happened I doubt I would have been able to.

I have a 2016 Touchbar 13", doing anything Eclipse gets it hot. And I also have a 2016 15" that gets hot once you plug a monitor in. Not unusable or super hot, but just hot.
Thank you for breaking this down.

I can already see headlines bashing the EU though.
Its really not autopilot. Its adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. Why don't we compare it to other cars lane keeping and adaptive cruise control.
Kind of like click-through EULAs attempt to do?
How is that not clearly breaching d?

They're a part of the same suite of apps that provide the "Android experience" (Google experience, whatever -- the thing that most consumers think of when they consider Android). They manifestly have a profound connection with each other.

And let's be clear here lest there be any confusion -- zero customers want a vendor to do anything different, and the only reason some vendors wanted to is because they could double dip: Pitch the Android experience and get the market inroads, while getting some Bing or whatever payola to "force" that on a consumer.

The same is true of the other claim-

Then they said "You can't use Google Play if you try to help develop any android forks."

Google's argument, whether honest or not, is that if you need a consistent representation of the Android experience that you're selling to consumers. If the GS8 has the full Android experience, but then the GS8P has the Android Fun Store and Bing Search, this can seriously dilute the market opinion of Android and cause consumer confusion.

This is absolutely not at all clear cut. It is incredibly nuanced. And if we just go around clubbing everything coarsely, why does my BMW have a BMW entertainment system? Why couldn't I choose Alpine at the dealer? An entertainment system is not an engine, right? I don't want to go down the road of absurd analogies, but if you're seriously presenting the notion that this is clear cut, you are not really thinking about it much.

As an aside, Google has had the same policies regard their suite of apps since day 1 of Android. Since the very beginning. When iOS absolutely dwarfed it. When Blackberry reigned supreme. When I was hefting around my sad little HTC Dream and listening to the John Gruber's tell us how doomed it was.
the Autopilot can't handle certain kinds of situations, and some of them might appear without much warning. One example from accidents that made the news are stationary obstacles like a police car on the side of the road, but still partly on the road. The Autopilot will happily drive into that obstacle without braking. If there is another car in front of you, this might not be visible until you're pretty close. Taking your eyes off the road for a bit might be enough to miss this.

You can't rely on the Autopilot to prevent accidents, it's simply not designed for this. So you have to pay the same amount of attention as if you were driving entirely manually. So if you're doing stuff that would be impossible while driving yourself, you're almost certainly not paying enough attention to the road and are at least negligent. Not sure about US laws, but usually there are laws against driving in a reckless or dangerous fashion, that can catch all kinds of behaviour.
Awesome! But they should add PWA support so you can add it to iOS home screen.

> I am extremely happy to have some push-back against the oligopoly of Apple, Google, etc....let's do apple, facebook, and amazon next.

better yet, force companies to open up their walled gardens. I want phones to be more like PCs, where the device is in full control by the owner. I want the app store be available to be changed without consequence, and/or have multiple competing stores.

We have no idea what he did, of course, but generally these firings aren't for minor issues. If anything, companies tend to be a bit too willing to overlook the rules for C-level employees.

A company can reasonably expect their CEO to behave themselves; if not, firing them is reasonable.
Great images. However, the text below the first image says:

Thanks for linking anyway, though!
Maybe not offended, but it's very hard to justify as even remotely work-related. In many companies, their policy is to use their resources for work activity only.
It's CYA from multiple angles.
I don't understand how reports like these make sense. A mile driven by a Waymo/Cruise car on route/conditions carefully chosen to test an update, or gather data on a new type of route/conditions is way more valuable than another mile driven on the same freeway stretch/conditions that already works perfectly. Just totaling up the number of miles driven seems to be the vanity metric of the Self-Driving Car industry.
My problem is that speedof.me seems to be on Amazon EC2 in a US West data center.

So for me on the East coast it's not really measuring my internet access, it's measuring my internet access across the whole country.

So using speedof.me I get a result of around 100Mbps.

Using Speedtest.net within my own city it's around 700Mbps.

Using Speakeasy with a Eastern server it's around 400Mbps

speedtest.googlefiber.net to Kansas comes in at around 300Mbps.

So in my opinion the speedtest you should be using is entirely based on who has servers closest to you physically.

You're not supposed to be using the "autopilot" as an autopilot.

You need to be always focused on the road and ready to take the wheel at any moment -- which in practice means you can't be using it at all, since "at any moment" means that 2-3 seconds can be all it takes between crashing and recovering from an autopilot error.

They're actually very different games. NMS is a "Roger Dean artwork generator" with a small survival game embedded in it, while ED is an inheritor of Elite for people who prefer a much more sparsely populated universe than Eve Online. And who like orange.
There are many advances in diagnostic medicine that aren't pursued because the cost of testing many people outweighs (economically) the benefits of treating the few positive cases who would be found.

Finding a way to change that calculation could open many paths to treatment.

It would be interesting to get some background info on that branch switching.

Switching branches per-se is really cheap in git, on linux.git it takes 200ms, around the time it takes to run a cold "git status". This is because just creating a new branch doesn't need to touch the tree at all.

I know "status" was a bottleneck at Twitter. They had the first inotify patches to git, but it never made it in. Eventually the patches Microsoft wrote to do the same thing made it in.

What can get expensive is if the tree you're switching to has drastically different content. On the latest linux.git (~60k files) switching to the 2.6.* era takes around 10 seconds or me (~10k files).

I'd expect with a monorepo model like what Twitter had (has?) that most working branches are relatively up-to-date with the master branch, so switching should be cheap.

Was it spending most of its time in the "Checking out files" phase, or before that?

Was this on e.g. OSX with some corporate virus scanner running where each I/O syscall was wrapped? That can drastically slow things down.

Or was it just that the repository truly had a ridiculous amount of files in the checkout (around 1 million?).

Edit: I remember now that I have an old copy of 2015-04-03-1M-git.git which David Turner of Twitter publicly shared a while back, it was meant to emulate the size and shape of Twitter's monorepo. It has around 230k files.
That's for Öffi.

When Google remove free apps that are used by millions of users from the play store for weeks, because one of their own automated tests fails, such fines can't come soon enough.
Another possibility:

- A music video that goes viral

I don't think Gangnam Style is a good match for the formula, but the video was well produced and just weird enough that people would want to share it. I'm convinced it only became popular because of the video.
> Holy shit! That's a hell of a caveat!

Indeed it is. To make it clear, it slams on the brakes bringing me down from 150 to 120 km/h, it doesn't come to a dead stop, so unless someone is seriously tailgating, then it's not creating any danger, it's just uncomfortable.
Good point. But I think if Google/Alphabet does not comply, the commission could fine them again. But that's difficult to judge now... All we consumers can do is wait for Google's next move and where it leads from there.

But generally, this is a step in the right direction. As much as I am a fan of early Google and the great services they offer, a big part of me doesn't like the privacy-nightmare conglomerate they became.
Or... How could they be trying to enforce a patent from the late 80's (if the article is correct)? Quite a lot of things don't add up here. I'd love to see some actual information here. Bloomberg's article has slightly more content: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-16/ibm-seeks... I'd really like to see what patents they are talking about, though...

Found the actual suit: https://www.b2ipreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Intern...

Edit again: That's a memorandum opinion, not the suit :-) But at least it lists the patents...
Couldn't they still generate revenue from ads and services in Europe? The EU could block Android phones but its not like they are going to build a firewall.
Due to regulatory capture and states' legitimate self-interest, EU keeps US corporations in check and vice versa. Better than nothing.
>At ~1.2 deaths per 100 million miles in the US you would expect approximately ~10-20 deaths over that distance. Adjusted for type of car and driving conditions.

That will be a huge adjustment that they seem to not be doing.

So any numbers of DUI deaths riding an 1990s semi-broken car is compared to an autopilot death in an expensive state of the art car with great engine, speed, and breaks.

How about we get the deaths per miles for non-coke users driving Tesla-like sports cars?
Always take what you read on phys.org with a massive grain of salt, they often report 'news' with radical breakthroughs that are often taken out of context or reported about with minimal information and lots of speculation.

They have good articles occasionally but they churn out a lot of non-news too.
Once IBM constructed a personal computer. But, instead of patenting everything about it, they decided to open the architecture, so that extension cards and entire clones could be made.

In a few years, IBM PC and its clones ate the market, and the resulting architecture kept eating it for like 20 years, pushing away both dedicated game machines, microcontrollers, and ultra-powerful servers. Only the advent of the smartphone slowed it down.

I'd like to notice that this was not a grassroots community effort; this was a shrewd business strategy ("it's better to own 10% of a $1B market than 90% of a $20M market"), and for-profit companies, working for the the benefit of themselves and their customers.

Not that community efforts are futile; they gave us [a long list of great things follows]. But the power of market forces, if harnessed right, should not be under-estimated.
>And if we just go around clubbing everything coarsely, why does my BMW have a BMW entertainment system

Because BMW don't have market dominance in either the car industry or the entertainment system industry. If they used dominance in one to affect the other, they would be in breach of that legislation.

>This is absolutely not at all clear cut. It is incredibly nuanced

So how do you explain Google's non-compliance when explicitly and clearly informed that they were in breach over two years ago?
Technically they are all psychoactive, but not chiefly or solely psychoactive - and usually also not hallucinogenic.

Psychedelic is not a right category anyway. It is a label given by users based on perceived effects.
I think it’s a little bit more complicated (and perhaps more “authentic” too) than you’re making it out to be. Labels definitely have strong influence in what gets played on the radio, but in your Cardi B example, Bodak Yellow was extremely popular on SoundCloud before it got any radio plays.

For your other questions, you can see in the credits of a song how many people are involved in radio hits. Labels invest money in creating hits so they can make money. The involvement and talent of artists varies from label to label and artist to artist but it’s generally not the organic process you seem to be hopeful about. At the end of the day, these artists have to perform not only in the studio but while touring, so they can’t be talentless hacks since some talent is required to be a profitable artist.
It should have been obvious to Apple that they were receiving illegal subsidies, given that they were taxed differently than other companies.

Both. 401k is at a traditional broker, I use a robo advisor for my IRA and yet a third broker when I want to own something specific.

I don't put a lot into the IRA so it's mostly just a long-term experiment to see how well it does compared to how I have my 401k invested. I've been more than happy with how it has performed though.
As a matter of law, the EC may be right, but as a matter of user experience, the idea that the Android market suffers from not having enough OEM-installed software on devices is a bit of a stretch. In all android phones/tablets I have seen there are a few shitty OEM apps that I have never found to be even close in quality to the google versions.

The EC claims that google have "denied European consumers the benefits of effective competition in the important mobile sphere", but I fear this will mean that cheap Android phones will have a shitty OEM-branded webbrowser and some random search engine link.
Google's profit center (adsense and all related ad selling) would not exist in europe, and therefore, all europeans would be unable to purchase ad space using google. Unless, a business decides they prefer to circumvent their local laws, and pay google from an overseas account to access advertising services.

However, i suspect if google left europe, another competitor to google (ala, bing?) would immediately swoop in and take all the business. Google would suddenly find itself losing 1/3 or even half of their revenue!
So MUSE is hyperspectral? there's a full spectrograph at each pixel?
Of course there aren't because BMW absolutely squashed the possibility of that at the outset. But Google, apparently, deserves a $5B fine because they made a mistake of powering AOSP phones, the Amazon products, countless variations in China, set top boxes, etc.

It is incredible seeing Google being seriously attacked on here for have an open source path as well. I feel like this is some sort of alternative universe.

Last I heard, Google didn't actually require Google Search to be the default on Android phones. For a while Microsoft was paying some manufacturers to make Bing the default, and in some cases even requiring them to stop users from changing it.
Samsung phones are very often dinged in reviews because they ship a confusing mix of Samsung apps that duplicate the functionality of Google apps. I wouldn't be very surprised at all if Samsung would prefer to just ship their Calendar/whatever app, or even entire phones that only contain their apps/services, but they can't make those choices.

Regarding the 75%, please bear in mind that that is across the total market, which covers a very broad range of price points. Apple may have ~25% share, but that is skewed almost entirely to the top end of the market. In the low end of the market, Android would be nearly 100%.
There is, but less than before most of this drugs were scheduled.

It used to be even recently that you could get strong opiates for cold and amfetamines for cough, weight loss and lethargy for instance. Or that barbiturates were prescribed for many issues related to insomnia.
I agree, if dropped, this will motivate big electronics players to release smart phones powered by android that aren't Google infested.

Sometimes when I'm in a cynical mood, I feel like my android phone isn't really mine, it's owned by google and exists purely to serve them.

This would improve the smartphone market on so many levels. We need a great driver support for AOSP, multiple app stores, community driven updates, so on and so forth to make this new reality.

I also feel like Android could play a huge role in IoT if it weren't as Google infested as you call it.

PS - site is working fine for me.
Everything is a mental health condition these days.

Honestly I think the mental health care industry is getting nervous over how complex, diverse and non-trivial it is to understand minds.

It's easy for the field to operate on the premise 'but these poor people, we are trying to help them!'. It's at the least, a bit absurd to be hypercritical over every little detail of thinking, acting, behaving, processing, etc and consider that 'help'.

I agree with you that perfectionism doesn't have to be a bad thing. It seems more that one has to be cautious with who one displays those characteristics towards because it can easily provocate insecurity in others, unintentionally. Which can be a totally reasonable reaction, life sometimes sucks and happens and things one wants to be devoted to may have to be deprioritized.

But if you want to be a perfectionist and are in a place in life where you can afford to devote yourself that much, then you shouldn't let the fact that other people made different choices get to you to the point that it halts your own ability to progress.
