I know what I see in my apps. Yes, Azure is worse than AWS. AWS has its flaws, but Azure is simply very slow in comparison.
The evolution of this would be providers combining services for a single price (let's say 19.99) and then sharing the revenue amongst themselves based on the viewing / usage patterns of the user.
> Enjoy the view etc, and then the second stage relights to cancel your velocity to 0

That is not feasible. Your second stage would have to be roughly as large as an entire orbital rocket in order to slow itself down from orbital speeds to zero, which means your first stage would have to be massive in order to push the second stage into orbit.

The reason every vehicle that re-enters the atmosphere uses a heat shield is because it's way easier to carry a relatively light heat shield that sheds off the speed than to carry the massive amount of fuel to shed off the same speed.

Android's market share is irrelevant to Google because it's a loss leader. They pay for it by encouraging usage of their other services which they monetize with ads. An Android with 100% market share where every handset forced users to use Bing would be worthless to them.

It's quite likely if these conditions were removed from the Android licenses that nothing would immediately change because there is no latent demand for Android devices with DuckDuckGo or Bing or OSM map apps. At least not in Europe. However, the principle remains that Google has no incentive to build Android if it gets used to funnel traffic to its own competitors, and especially it would be disastrous for developers if Android forked into many incompatible versions.

Hence the most likely outcome is that Android simply becomes closed source, and to access it you either have to agree to today's terms and bundle their services, or pay to cover the revenue Google feels like they might not get if you don't.
Well, I personally am in favour of the way the EU acts as a permanent umbrella to organise cooperation and according to the latest polls, the majority of people in most countries are in favour of that too. Otherwise, with each country acting on its own, they would be picked apart by the much larger players, the US, China and Russia.

Maybe the UK media points a wrong picture of the mood in the EU, but I seriously doubt that it would cease to exist if your alternative would be put forward. But that's something all Brexiteers tell themselves repeatedly, over and over, like a mantra.

A series of conversations with nomads and founders on remote-work/nomading
That's simply not true is it - there are plenty of people who have made their own Android ROMS using the released code, and Android still comes with the same set of apps it always did. Yes, Google has often made better apps that compete with the built in open source ones, but you can still get a very capable and powerful mobile OS for free just by downloading it. And as for proprietary drivers, well that's the hw vendors not Google doing that.
I'm having a really hard time figuring out what happy ending the EU has in mind here. Google stops licensing Android to OEMs and doubles down on Pixel. It takes them years to catch up to Apple's marking and distribution head start, if they ever do. Samsung goes back to Tizen, which nobody wants, and sales plummet. All the other Android OEMs disappear.

All we have left is Apple and the most expensive, proprietary and locked down platform in computing history. A single gatekeeper effectively controls the app space. Safari dictates what happens on the web. Who wins here except for the company that's already the richest in history?

Or, more likely, the EU keeps going down this road and tech companies eventually start treating it like the backward nanny state it is and wall it off.

Two different arguments here honestly. Apps should never be permanently embedded.
In the US, "therapist" generally means a licensed counselor (master's level education), marriage and family therapist (also master's level), or psychologist (doctorate). None of those practitioners has the authority to prescribe in most US states. (A few states allow psychologists limited prescribing rights.) There is no type of therapist that will give you a prescription drug to suppress symptoms, especially without also providing talk therapy, which is the job they trained to do.
My point stands. Do not stand up for finance desk jobs and ignore cleaners. If you believe people are entitled to better working conditions, then show some solidarity around workers who are in blue collar and manual trades, because reciprocity is the key: stand together.

Back in Health Care Policy class I dug through these numbers and the opposite was true: bureaucratic overhead was much larger in the US system. The US system also wound up being twice as expensive overall.

Has that changed or are you just repeating a talking point you heard somewhere?

Markets serve the person with bargaining power. If doctors and drug companies have all the bargaining power -- and in the most important health care situations, they do -- why do you think a free-er market will give you a better deal?

I had been disturbed by the actions of platforms like Google for awhile, fearing that their naive efforts at maintaining "mass market appeal" in the most hamfisted and blind ways possible were going to have unintentional consequences for global human culture. Then I read Eric Schmidt's book 'The New Digital Age.' They are not naive. And the effects are not unintentional at all. Their goal isn't even mass-market appeal. They want to ossify human culture and lock it in place to what it was in the early 2000s when they first became successful. As multitudes in the past have done, upon attaining influence many in the tech crowd have concluded that they know better, and that the general public (of which they of course never count themselves a member) is not capable of the task of regulating their own culture. This is a pretty old viewpoint. It built the pyramids, united Rome, etc. It's old school Conservative thinking, where the needs of the nation (or cult or tribe or whatever) come first, and the individual exists solely to serve that. It requires the presence of 'special' people, typically incarnated gods, representatives chosen by a god, or somehow otherwise fundamentally 'Better' people, like a kings lineage.

That brand of thinking ruled the world for a long time, but it got its ass kicked basically completely around the end of the 18th century. I have no idea why the rich people at the top of tech companies seem to like it so much. But it's becoming increasingly clear that these systems of communication are enabling a greater level of control and there are some sick-minded powerful folks who will need to be reigned in as they are more than willing to take those reigns. No one should have those. Global culture can, and eventually will, guide itself.

Humanity is a wonderful species, but only in its totality. In the cut-down whitewashed conformal mass that Facebook and Google and others want to construct and sell to people, then try to force on the rest, it looks more like a metastatic infection. The tech companies are unquestionably at war with basic human nature. They do not like humans very much, and they want to change them. Like their forebearers in the Industrial Revolution, they seek to round off the rough edges, smooth out the wrinkles, and will wreak any amount of suffering necessary to do so. Engineers need to think very hard about the ethics of their work. "Just doing my job" holds exactly as much moral weight as "I just did it for money", so keep that in mind. It's an empty dodge.

> It's your opinion that "following Google's conditions" is onerous, and "not choice." Clearly the situation is that the android business model is supported by Google's terms.

Android has a huge market dominance and Google looses some scope in their terms. I do think for competitors "following Google's conditions" is "not choice", e.g. you have to have the Play Store or you loose bitterly. Most/many good apps are only available through the Play Store.

A choice for me would be when a competitor has access to Play Store (of course with a fair compensation) without enabling Google at the same time to install many other unwanted/data grabbing apps/services.

> Yelling at people to make everything free isn't a solution.

Regarding closed source you misunderstood or I didn't write well. I was not angrily critizising (or yelling even) that Google Play Services is closed source, I wanted to express that one major part of Android is _already_ closed source when Pichai said "sends a troubling signal in favor of proprietary systems over open platforms". -- (Besides, what good is open platforms when services come with heavy strings attached and, sometimes, are taken away in a blink because some algorithm decided...).
Also a Finnish way of reducing teen pregnancies is a "summer condom song" made every year made by top Finnish artists, sponsored by all the big record labels and the national broadcaster YLE. Most of the biggest selling artists in Finland have appeared in one. The condom song itself is played constantly during the summer in radio, and some of the more catchy ones appear even years later in poppy radio stations and night clubs in Finland.

One example of a recent condom song that became a hit is Kasmir feat. SAARA (that girl from the "Finnish girl speaks 40 pseudolanguages" YouTube video) - Vauvoja. It's annoyingly catchy.

If you have a way of driving the cost to zero without driving the delivery of healthcare to zero, we'd all love to see the plan. Too much of it is overhead, but not all of it, nor even close to all.
Exactly. To transfer something between Earth and the nearest star would require about 8 years. Fuck having a pen pal. You'd also need the energy to propel something to the speed of light.

The Poverty Rate of Every County in the US
What's interesting is I heard that if you pay cash, up front the doctor's office will charge you less. So I had this appointment (forgot for what) and they gave an estimate with my insurance. I asked...if I wanted to pay for all of it right now, how much would it cost...and she said it would be the same.

Of course I said ok, fine...run it through insurance. That year I wasn't going to meet deductible so I had no incentive to go through insurance.
Go to http://www.brokenbrain.com to understand the root causes of mental diseases. On this website you can also find the solutions (relatively easy once you know the root cause).
After visiting this site you most likely understand that you want a doctor that finds the root causes that hurt you.
Note that a person that tries various drugs to see if they have some effect on you is not a person that finds root causes.

I actually thought this bug report was a late April fools joke.
I'd love to crawl inside the vendor's brain for a few minutes, get some questions answered. Like, did you think no one would notice? No? You vastly underestimate the cumulative free time available on the Internet. Regardless, why actively lie? Buying time, or you know there's no way this will ever work, so you're just figuring out your exit? And lastly, though I am no physicist or mechanical engineer, but some quick napkin math says there's no way to make two twists of a human hand turn into 2 minutes of tooth brushing. Are you incapable of the most basic up-front research and design, or did you intend to be dishonest from the start?

I mean, seriously, there is a mindset there that is so foreign to mine that I can't even comprehend what it might look like.
It's worse than that. You can't even install windows when you buy one of their computers!

I like sleeping on time and waking up early(ish). I'm slowly shifting from a night-owl into a morning person in my 30s. I love the productivity I feel and knowing that I can do a bunch of things in the morning before work, then get home in the evening and relax.

But my problem is that that I'm a single guy who needs to date and have a social life. And try as I might, all such social constructs require you to stay out late and drink a little. All of which eventually chips into the sleep, and hence how productive you are the next day.

It's really annoying having to force myself to be social at the cost of only being, say, 70% as productive the next day.

Is anyone else facing this conundrum, or can impart any hints?
> But of course to an Android buyer, it is all a part of the experience with the device.

Only if the device is advertised as being an Android, which is a trademark that you cannot use without Google’s agreement. You can’t use anything Google related actually, besides AOSP, so I don’t see how Google can make that argument with a straight face.

And on Microsoft... they could easily block any competition just like Apple is doing on iOS. That you are able to install Firefox on it, be thankful to previous antitrust fines they got ;-)
Think about the 1700s, when printing presses had existed for a few hundred years (since 1439) to transfer data between people. Books were expensive, though. Would you have been able to imagine that in 1975, printed paper would be created each morning, and hauled around to everyone's door step in time for breakfast?

Now think about us sitting here in 2018. Computer rendered text has been around for a while (ASCII, UTF, .doc, .html, etc.) In another 200 years, the way we transfer, encode, and view those formats will be completely perfected and probably unrecognizable to us. They will probably be ubiquitous in a way that seems completely alien to us now, and all of the implementation issues we worry about in 2018 will completely fade away (proprietary vs. open, security vulnerabilities, compatibility, accessibility, etc.).

With this in mind, being reluctant to add enrichment to how document transfer works seems like it's obviously on the wrong side of history.
Anyone who was holding their breath waiting for coastal California to fall into the ocean is going to be disappointment to find out it's not happening in their lifetime.
You know what's easy? Blaming people.

"How could they be so evil / greedy / stupid / mean / etc? Don't worry. We'll fire them and bring in new people. Everything fixed."

You know what's harder but more productive? Admitting there are systemic, structural issues. And having enough compassion for people trying to do their jobs.

Because suddenly there's no easy scapegoat. And the only response is to actually change the system.

The issue with the US health system isn't some malevolent Oz pulling strings behind the scenes, but that none of the legally defined and empowered players have their interests fully aligned with the patient.
The whole thing was a farce. I’m not sure if it was a thing common with other navies but reading the history of the ship is reading a long list of accidents and mistakes. The shambles of the war with the Japanese is is well covered in Montifiore’s book on the Romanovs, and he presents it as a collection of worn out ships, a badly led navy and a massive vanity project with a healthy dose of racism leading to underestimation of Japanese abilities.

IIRC, we're already going dark. The amount of "noise" we broadcast into space is diminishing. If other civilizations roughly follow the progress of our own, that could mean that the window a civilization has to be detected is something like 100 - 200 years.

While I'm not totally on board with outlooks on a technological singularity a la Kurzweil and peers, what does it mean that there is no real representation of that idea here?

My wife has called over 10 therapists in the last few months. All of them have had no openings for new patients unless you agree to see them off the insurance. The rejection from so many therapists is taking it's toll. It's even more depressing to get up the motivation to research a new batch of therapists, get up the nerve to call, only to be rejected again. The act of finding a therapist is more depressing than just having depression.
This. Look at how words like "infringe", "unreasonable", and "speedy" in the US constitution have become significantly less meaningful over time.

You're being downvoted probably because of the superbug statement...but my wife had surgery to remove a breast lump. It cost $3k and with all these appointments it happened over the course of 2 months. The cost does not include all these other scans and crap before.

My cousin went to China (family visit). Lump was discovered here...surgery in China. Got seen in one day, surgery the next. $800.

When my wife discovered a new lump...just doing follow up scans was $900. $500 for imaging center, $200 for the doctor at the imaging center...and $200 for her annual physical (they billed it as a problem visit and not an annual because she brought up the fact she has a lump, rather than the doctor finding it, even though breast cancer detection is part of annual!...still fighting, but I'll probably drop it because it's so stressful and time consuming)

FWIW, I did not interpret kian's account as suggesting that it works for everybody. I'm well aware that chronic diseases can have lots of different causes and mechanics depending on the person (especially true for my other chronic condition, atopic eczema).
I see blue collar people suggesting the opposite - for example, supporting massive inefficiencies (like repealing NAFTA) in order to protect domestic blue collar jobs.

Humans tending to empathize more readily with people like themselves is a regrettable, but not exactly exceptional or noteworthy, phenomenon.
