> They were deliberately murdered under direct orders from Lenin,

Unfortunately, according to the Wikipedia article you posted, it's not that easy to verify:

> The written record taking the chain of command and the ultimate responsibility for the fate of the Romanovs back to Lenin was, from the beginning, either never made or carefully concealed.

...

> However, as of 2011, there has been no conclusive evidence that either Lenin or Sverdlov gave the order.
To be clear, his anti-semitism extended to support of murderous pogroms. This wasn’t common elsewhere.
Earlier this year, we considered similar changes to the ahead/behind calculation in 'git status'. We concluded that there is no good way to provide partial information. Specifically, you can't say "10 ahead" without walking everything you are behind to find all merge-bases. That "10" you found could become smaller by walking more of the other set. We instead opted to not calculate that information as often.

Here is my reply to the thread on-list that summarizes why I think this direction is futile: https://public-inbox.org/git/20180108154822.54829-1-git@jeff...

This ahead/behind calculation is in a lot of places, including 'git fetch' where it checks if each ref update was a forced update (checks if the new ref value has the old ref value in its history). For our version of Git that ships with GVFS, we added an option to skip this check, providing a significant speedup to users fetch times: https://github.com/Microsoft/git/commit/9616c7da3141f539a425...
The law may be the law but you still need someone to complain to the authorities.

If I went out into the street and 'keyed' someone's status symbol car then I would not be in trouble until someone decided to do something about the crime.

The owner might not be pleased and, pressured by the insurance company, might get the police to go through CCTV and finally find me caught in the act.

Alternatively, a neighbour or passer by might just call the cops on me whilst I 'brazenly commit the deed'.

Either way, unless there is a report of wrong-doing then I would be getting away with it, not having to be fined etc. The police don't just sit there idly looking through the rule book looking what they can nick me for, someone would have to bring matters to their attention.

And that is the problem with this EU ruling. Nobody I know has bought a phone, decided to write to their MP (or MEP) and complained about not having Bing! as their default search engine. The EU don't accept complaints from little people like that anyway.

So what has gone on here is that some group of lobbyists have sought out some money from the Microsofts of this world, invariably to setup some fake pressure group, to bring on this legal action. With previous history, e.g. bundling in Windows, the modus operandi was the same, albeit with Netscape being the whinging ninnys.

Whwn the story finally hits the press the parasitical legal firm, the fake consumer group and who fronted the cash to pay for the action get forgotten, instead debate concerns whether the E.U. is a load of rubbish, being as silly as when they banned bent bananas and had wine lakes or whether Google have been truly evil.

In The Emperors New Clothes the people that sold the expensive invisible thread leave the story so in the final act there is just the stupidity of the crowd and the stupidity of the Emperor, story facilitated by the boy. Similarly here, the people that have wreaked this carnage have left the story a long time ago.

> I know that anti-trust laws are probably not applicable as Apple does have a dominant position based on total market share

It's an interesting question though, because it depends on which 'market' you're talking about. This is a vexed question in antitrust law [1]. There is some pending litigation in the United States as to whether Apple illegally monopolized the market for iPhone apps [2], but it's been brought by app purchasers rather than the regulator, and Apple has taken the case to the Supreme Court to argue that the purchasers don't have standing to sue.

Yeah the discussion here is about smartphones ...

They "could" block all import of Android based smart phones if they wished (based on noncompliance with trade rules of course).

In all liklihood they'd slap a levy on these imports which would either raise their price making alternatives more interesting to the market. Android devices are dominant in the cost sensitive segment.

Alternatively the manufacturers could push this back on to google or it might provide additional commercial impetus to develop a viable alternative.

That's the beauty of one of the largest economies in the world singing in harmony from the same hymn-sheet. When the collective foot is stamped it echoes around the world.

Promoting psychedelics as strong medicine to be used only by medical experts is very different from legalizing psychedelics because some people claim less potential for harm than alcohol or tobacco.

Fantastically lucid and cogent summary. I regret that I have but one upvote to give.
Thank you for clarifying that, now I have a better understanding of where you are coming from.

My question to you is, do you think psychedelics should be more controlled than alcohol? Given how intoxication by alcohol can cause as much social harm as a bad trip.

I'm also wondering if we can create a set of metrics, free from anecdotal evidence and any political context, by which we can use to categorize different drugs (alcohol included) based on social harm, self harm, long lasting damage, etc. and then use this to define which of those we ban/regulate/decriminalize etc. I know that may sound a bit naive, but using a pure scientific approach to this could give us quite different results than the current state of things, where some of the most dangerous substances are legal because there's a lobby behind them.

>Governments have a fanical incentive to keep lsd illegal.

They'd be taxing the sales of everything used to create it, they could require testing for purity, they could create an LSD tax, etc just like with tobacco and alcohol (and if they'd get their head out of their backside, THC containing products).

In my (rather extensive) experience, Psilocybe spp. are the safest psychedelics. LSD is generally harsher, especially at high doses. And peyote is harder on users GI tracts.

But gathering Psilocybe spp. in the wild can be iffy. You're generally OK if they turn blue soon after bruising. Also, ones growing on cow shit don't taste very good :(

Growing from spores isn't that hard. We used to grow them on cooked rice, in mason jars. You put rice and water in the jars, put the lids on with the seal upward (so they don't seal) and cook ~30 minutes in a pressure canner. After they cool, just inoculate with decent sterile technique, put lids on loosely, and keep warm in the dark.

In a week or two, you have shrooms. And they taste great! We used to freeze dry them. But you can also preserve in honey. Cultures produce shrooms for a week or two, and then gradually crap out.
I don't get it either with regards to the Microsoft case. You need a browser to start with but you can install any browser available. Android doesn't block Bing, or any other search engine. So what's the problem?
Instead of bindings to DOM, you can offer bindings to native API - Webassembly makes it safe. Another approach is running your app on webgl. WASM is not a subset of JavaScript at all, it has similar modularization, but that's about it.
To be fair to the person you replied to, homebrewing alcohol was illegal in the US until 1978 and you still aren't allowed to distill at home (for human consumption) without a distilled spirits permit or (for fuel use) a federal fuel alcohol permit.
Why would you want them to distribute it? Distribute under GPL, offer a proprietary licence and they'd have to buy the proprietary licence to Qt too.
No, you're completely wrong. Have you even ever used Android devices? Samsung's flavour of Android is quite different to HTCs or LGs. Google doesn't prevent people creating competing forks of Android, that's the entire point of Android's design.

What their agreements require is that the forks be compatible with base Android, that is, apps should run the same on every variant of Android. It's designed to ensure app compatibility and avoid the mistakes of the past, like with J2ME where apps had to be debugged on every single phone because they were all riddled with bugs and incompatibilities.

But outside of app compatibility issues vendors can and do make big changes, everything from the appearance to the UI to the set of bundled apps - Samsung for instance replaces the browser, replaces the calendar, replaces the contacts app, replaces the home screen, replaces nearly everything. And Samsung is a Google licensee. So clearly, your understanding of what Google is doing here is not accurate.

That's a very narrow (and in my opinion even wrong) understanding of what constitutes a democracy. Prosecuting companies via criminal lawsuits might be the American way but that does not mean every democracy has to have those same rules. If an administration fines a company and there is the possibility to appeal to a court that is also a democratic process. My homecountry Germany uses this process (companies are never sued in a criminal lawsuit) and I don't see a reason why that would be undemocratic.

It's not just Apple, the thermal paste between the die and the heat spreader on newer Intel CPUs isn't getting good reviews either. Replacing the paste under the heat spreader is a lot more tricky though, and requires special tools.

Why neither Apple nor Intel is opting for better thermal compound is amazing. Tests continue to CPU temperatures drop 10+ degrees (C) just by replacing the thermal compound. Even if they opted to get the very best thermal compound, I can't see it eat into the profit of either companies.

This is not evidence, charges were issued years ago based on past behavior. Until there is a decision made, why should Google change it's behavior?

My view on this situation is that regulators should decide if such bundling is allowed on a case by case basis. Then, the ruling is 'We have made a decision. You get X fine if you do not comply.' Rather than, 'We prosecutors think you are not complying' followed by 'Yep you were not complying, give us billions'.
That piece and some of the comments here make me wonder if pure text emojis are the better design decision.
Well it would be simple to deploy to aws and gce as well, let me put a guide for the same.
Let's say you have one profit bringing business unit like google ads. (Let's call it main unit) but you also have internal startups in your company (side units). But you only have one operations department, only one HR department etc. How do you account the expenses of these departments in relation to main business and the side units?

You can't. If people are not forced don't write down exactly whether they spent their time on working for the main unit or the side units units, you can't later account it correctly. Unfortunately it's not even clear for the company what happens sometimes. You might for example hire an employee, but place him in a different business unit than originally planned. Or the employee later on changes business units.

The other problem with this is even if you require such a strict accounting setup, you can't tell whether employees and/or departments are accounting their efforts correctly, it's just incredible difficult to enforce the rule; to make sure they don't lie.
Even if you think hey you can do it, you have to rigorously enforce this for all companies in your juridiction, because as soon as you stop looking, they will stop caring.

So the problem is you can't tell the profits before "internal investments" as long as you can't pin down operational costs.

You'll see that the only thing that you can accurately account for is the main business units revenue, but you can't give a precise number on operational income. (Which is revenue - product costs - operational costs).

I never became used to it, because I never tried really, but IIRC Wordstar has a very smart keyboard layout, really thought out. Word relies on arrow keys, but those are not always in great places on the keyboard. (Otherwise, arrow keys are a fine way to move the cursor around, IMHO.)

Also IIRC, you could work with folding and chapters very fast in Wordstar. This is also a benefit vs Word, which is WYSIWYG drivel^H^H^H^H^H^H driven.

Emacs/VIM, well... I live and die by Emacs (vim before) but seriously, it's a huge kludge, all of it. I love it to pieces, but it's really a very complex beast. Only bested by Eclipse in beastliness, which is also great for similar reasons Emacs is. You can do anything with both, if you put in a big effort. But it still pays off.

VSCode/Atom, only dabbled with these, they seem like Emacs + shiny to me. I respect shiny, but personally, I don't need it.

Lyx - tried it a bit. I think the problem for me, was that it promised too much. But if there are problems, you still need to know LaTex and I found myself back in Emacs and googling for LaTex error.

Wordstar/Wordtsar - for me those things are for writing books or large documentation. Personally I'd still use Emacs, because I use it for so much else. I'd still FOMO a little bit about the road not taken, but we have to use the time we wisely.

(Also, Wordstar = warm fuzzy thoughts about CP/M machines with amber monochrome monitors.)

Xilinx Announces the Acquisition of DeePhi Tech
The discussion was about "losing access". To do that the EU would have to impose not just tariffs but complete import bans on dozens or maybe hundreds of OEMs, many of which aren't American. It'd mean starting a phone-oriented trade war with most of the world's big economies, and handing the entire European market to Apple.

But Android is much more popular than Apple phones in some EU countries (not all) mostly because it's a lot cheaper. So either a lot of Europeans would have to fork out a lot more than they wanted to for a phone, or decide they couldn't afford a smartphone at all and go back to feature phones.

This is why you admit the EU would never do this.

When the collective foot is stamped it echoes around the world.

Very Orwellian imagery you have there. It wouldn't really echo around the world. Google wouldn't give a crap. Android was created mostly to stop Apple from gaining a monopoly and holding them over a barrel with respect to services (go read up on the origins of the project). It has wildly succeeded in that mission already. If the EU selectively taxes its own people whenever they buy an Android smartphone, this would not only hurt the EU's own popularity significantly (people love their cheap smartphones), but it wouldn't harm Google much or at all because Apple un-clenched a lot since Jobs died and iOS is a more open platform than it used to be, albeit, still nowhere near as open as Android. The rest of the world is sufficient to keep Apple in check anyway.
> A law which allows this magnitude of a fine for the behavior described is ridiculous.

It's a percentage of their yearly revenue (or income, not sure). If a company breaks the law and you want it to stop doing that and change their behaviour, you need to be able to hand them a fine that makes them stop and think. Would you prefer if they were handed a $100 fine instead? What would be an appropriate fine for you? I think a moderately high percentage-based fine is the only way you can do this.

Nice site.

Few design notes that I think would spruce it up a bit:

1. Search: Enter keyword(s)
- on my default window it was cut-off slightly. I think you can drop the "Enter"

2. Min/Max Price/Miles is the same issue. Since its under Price and Miles you should consider just using min/max

3. Date(newest) drop the date. With newest/oldest/... date is implied

4. Not a huge fan of the banner color/fade. I think a more flat color would make it look less template-y

5. I noticed the source is various forums. Some people may want to filter on the forum type, but if there are too many I would understand a filter may be impractical

6. When you select something from a drop-down it should automatically update the search

7. Make your About Us less generic. It feels very anonymous. I understand if you may not want to share your name but consider sharing more information. Like who is us? How many people are working on it? When was it built? Where are you based? If it felt more personal, people would be more likely to give their email. Also more information about what the newsletter looks like, how often and an assurance that emails will not be sold.
