While 1-7 is a pretty clever tongue in cheek perspective, it's not at all what Max Martin does. Arguably he's the king of modern Pop music hits - I mean, he's orders of magnitude more successful than second place. It's rare to find interviews with him but he does drop some hints at his methods and approach (balanced lines, extreme vocal comping detail work) which takes a lot of the mystery out of it.

Basically though #6 explains how acts like Cardi B can chart, because Pop music is a commodity, it's not art. Something like Gotye's hit definitely falls into #7 in that regard. "What's good isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always good."
Also Chrome. Chrome was the biggest shocker to many @ Goog. Even as a Noogler, people often sit down in cafeteria and talked about how Chrome got traction and so popular only because it got a main spot on Google's homepage; something noone, no company or individual advertiser can ever bid for. If that's not Google's "Microsoft Internet Explorer anti-trust" moment, then nothing is.

Their "methodology" of tracking happiness

The problem with peering is that cross country peering can cost a lot of money. So if netflix does not have any caching server in your country, they will have to pull bandwidth from the closest location and your isp might have limited peering agreement with that provider.

Which many ISP understansibly will refuse to icrease peering capacity and you end up with poor bw speed from netflix or other similar providers. The solution is to do what google does with GGC nodes. Netflix also has similar service but the are very stringent and picky with which ISP they give the servers to. Google basically gives them away to almost whoever asks for it. Not to mention with all streaming and cdn and cloud providers wanting to have their own ggc like hardware at ISP premise it puts cost strains to isp in terms of power usage, rack space and high-output switch and routers at the distribution end. Not to mention all of these hardware will pull bandwidth from source (about 20%) which will come through ISPs expense.

People often like to blame ISPs. While big ISPs have legitimate problems. It also makes it extremely difficult for smaller isps bear this cost and provide service parity compare to ISP giants. Which is why you don't see a lot of isp business popping up. There is a reason google fibre is so limited in scope.

It always facinates me how most ISPs makes money at all. Then i realize the one who do has been doing it for a long time ans were already big companies when started out and probably had to take substantial loans and help from government and even then it probably took them a long time to be profitable.

Every time a US company is fined there are people that claim it is all protectionism and punishment with nothing to back it up (ironic, considering the degree of protectionism the US engages in).

They are just sour that their precious tech companies are being brought to task for behaving like shitty house guests by not following the rules.

These companies might be able to get away with whatever the hell they please back home but get this; the American Way isn't the only way.

It's just a very shitty dismissal of the very real concerns of US tech companies and their disregard for the laws and regulations in the countries in which they operate. Laws and regulations that EU companies have to follow too.

The only real upset here comes from companies like Google, and their rabid supporters at the prospect of them not being able to implement their shitty consumer-hostile, ring-fencing business model in other countries.

Google were given two year's notice before this fine. TWO YEARS.

It's their own damn fault and the fine is punitive, as it should be.
Sure, but the signal from nearly every other camp at this point is that package management (especially for combined native dependencies and scripting deps) isn’t a solved problem.

Do I wish everyone used their distro package manager? Yes. Do I wish there was one package manager? Yes. Do I develop with Nix myself? You bet. But I fear that this sort of quixotic battle has already been lost; frankly I don’t blame people for finding it a confusing mess.

Unless I misunderstood your comment, in which case I apologise!
Dude you literally did not understand a single word of the ruling.
why all comparisons here to iOS? they are not in a dominant position. anti-trust laws apply to you if you are in a dominant position.

how iOS handles things are completely irrelevant here.
Thanks for the suggestions!

A) I'm going to add the nofollow and noarchive to see if that helps the issue.

B) I've already set the search console to ignore the query parameter but I'm still getting new spam results coming in.

C) I've been looking into this but so far the meta information for the spam requests is not consistent and it's tricky to identify so far.

Thanks for the help and the luck, I think I'll need it!
In return for not having to compete on equal terms in a giant market for years, that seems like a defensible deal for Google even if the fine is large per se.
This issue is generally called "buffer bloat". That keyword should help you find solutions. I think it's generally QoS to limit aggregate upload bandwidth to less than your available so the buffers don't get (over-)filled in the first place.
Here's the catch -- those with a financial interest in Apple (i.e., shareholders, directors, etc) would likely consider the sales performance of [insert Apple product here] a success when those of us who care deeply about the products themselves would consider [insert Apple product here] a failure.
Yeah but it seems like a huge problem that this issue hasn't been sorted out years into development. The whole premise of the game is based around playing in a shared persistent world: they should have gotten the multiplayer experience working perfectly in a proof-of-concept stage, with characters running around blank environments full of grey boxes before anything else.

At the moment it seems like they are a content production company for a game that doesn't exist.
I mean, it does need to be treated like an investment, and you can lose on an investment. You can say, "That Camera rig is amazing. I've always wanted something like that. There's nothing on the market like that."

If you put like $600 in, you're hoping for a return on that investment in 8 months of a product. You might get something amazing, or something okay or nothing at all. Just like any other venture.

Okay, so you might say, "Well I don't want to invest, but I'll buy it once it's build if other people put up the funding." It's successful aaaaaand that's it. No more units.

That's a big issue, because now people with existing units may not even have a repair path. Devices could start getting rare and go on eBay for tons. This might even violate some basic product warrant laws in some country.

This doesn't apply here though, because games can always be purchased and distributed to people later without having to get them made in a factory.
> All we see are the bad things.

Actually, all we see are the things we see. No one has a terribly precise way of knowing what the real world distribution of good and bad behavior are, yet there is no shortage of people who believe very strongly that they do. It's one of those quirks of the human mind, but it can be overcome with effort.
You could also annotate your page. https://schema.org/SearchResultsPage

Edit: Maybe it is also worth annotating the search field (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/sitelin...) so that google can match it against your search results page.
I still find that the sortest one is this:

take the prime factors of n, the primes with even power go to the numerator with halved powers, the primes with odd powers go to the denominator also with halved powers but rounded up. This is bijective, due to the uniqueness of prime factorization, and of course the numerator and denominator greatest divisor is also guaranteed to be 1, as they not share prime factors at all. So e.g.

45 = 3²5¹-> 3/5
60 = 2²3¹*5¹ -> 2/15
2 -> 1/2, 3 -> 1/3, 4 -> 2/1, 5 -> 1/5, 6 -> 1/6, 7 -> 1/7, 8 -> 1/4, 9 -> 3/1, ...

I do care about companies that abuse their position as a monopoly. I think its probably right that Google gets fined for not allowing companies to sell Android forks. What I have a problem with is that if a company is doing some standard business practice, like paying a different company to exclusively use their product, that is okay when they are a not a monopoly but that suddenly become not okay because they have been successful.
That's what I'm asking, what is the point of Windows if not that? It's name specifically refers to its graphical capablities. The point of GNU/Linux is it's a free UNIX-like operating system. If everyone is using CLI interfaces, or portable graphical software like web browsers, why would anyone choose Windows over GNU/Linux?
Okay then, but Google Search is what paid for Android development, so if you can't tie them together, Android needs to seek other sources of funding. The most obvious one is some sort of licensing fee.

A licensing fee would be a valid and reasonable outcome. It probably can even work without making Android closed-source, by choosing the licenses accordingly or maybe have some kind of early-access or migration-support agreements (IANAL).

The main point is that Google is using a monopoly in one market to retain a monopoly in another market, and this is illegal. As far as I'm reading the press release, Google is not barred from developing and offering Android for free, if they wish so - they are only disallowed to abuse their monopoly.

but it also forced browsers to find independent business models

It stopped Microsoft from preventing independent business models for browsers; it was just too late already for the commercial browser vendors of the time. And the current EU ruling will hopefully allow other mobile OS developers (or startups) to compete on more equal grounds.

Of course we still have the network effect of Google Play, featuring a market dominance over Android apps and Android users. I wouldn't be too surprised to see another future EU ruling requiring Google to unbundle Google Play from all but technical requirements, possibly allowing users to legally get access to Google Play on AOSP-based devices, or using alternative clients.
I’d guess to differentiate the civil / uncivil dichotomy from the civil(ian) / military dichotomy.

That said, I feel that civil engineering is fairly widely understood to be a subdicipline of engineering.
Thanks Adora. Just a suggestion: I took the 2017 course and it was great, now I think an aditional growing startup course will be complementary for companies that need to solve growing challenges.
This is cool, but the author could sell his idea better. It took me a while to figure out what a Penti Chorded keyboard even is. The video linked at the very bottom shows why this could be useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_01ha1uS6Y&feature=youtu.be

I wish the author had explained at the start what problem this solves rather than launching right into an explanation of how it works.
What is a "noogler"?
Any phone has enough computing power to just bruteforce a 32bit value in order to recover the original IPv4 address from a normal cryptographic hash in a practical timeframe.
Binary driver blobs exist because of IP concerns of the hardware suppliers, particularly the camera, fingerprint, and modem.

The fact those parts are closed hasn't stopped people releasing custom ROMs. Google and Sony even help you do this.

I agree with this too. It's all about your general outlook on things. Plenty Kickstarters have failed and vanished. Will this project do the same? I don't know, but I don't think so. When I contributed, I parted with the amount of money I was comfortable never seeing again.

What IP rights?

The trademark is dead. That's naming.

Patents? Seems unlikely.

That leaves copyright. It seems unlikely that anyone working on a Wordstar clone is silly enough to have even glanced at the original source, so that's not it.

Look-and-feel? Dead issues. And there's no API to copy, not that I believe an API is copyrightable as it is a functional spec. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit can bite me.
Powershell doesn't feel like a shell to me at all. It's hideously inconsistent and somewhere between shell scripting and programming. You're right that Python is by far the better tool. Powershell only had to beat its incumbent, cmd, which is awful. Nobody would switch from bash/python to Powershell.

Also, you can totally pipe into while in bash. There is no need to use xargs there. You can even deal with spaces in filenames if you need to...

Unlike "Settings", the name is not "Play Services", but "Google Play Services". It makes sense that you shouldn't be able to disable literally everything that was built-in such as Settings (how else are you supposed to undo what you just did...) but the problem is that you can't disable preloaded Google apps (which includes Google Play Services).
They only care that their darling tech firms get to keep making money and 'making the world a better place'.

Fuck the laws and regulations in the countries in which they do business apparently.
Arguably Apple is doing a similar thing by bundling iMessage and iTunes (and probably others), both of which have plenty of competitors but probably have an inherent advantage on iOS because they're built-in.
Why immediately jump to firing Dan Riccio? He was in charge during the glory days of Apple design.

Instead, I'd probably begin by taking a look at at Tim Cook and Jony Ive's input and approach to product design. It shouldn't be hard.

Look for the people championing the "go thinner, lighter!" "form over function" cause and act accordingly.
> usual insanity that click-through agreements should be valid for anything above, lets say $100

No body reads these. We're talking about the literal <1%, and in most of those are probably lawyers who either write them or the law firms involved in cases like this.

> Mixing and matching, for the vast majority of users, is neither practical or expected, and absolutely negatively impacts the brand.

Firefox has over a 100 million downloads according to the Play Store, so that argument at least doesn't work for bundling Chrome.
> Everything is a mental health condition these days.

It's practical because if you have a condition, you can be sold a bunch of products and services you did not need in the first place! Progress.

More seriously, the explosion of conditions not based on anything tangible (pseudo, unvalidated criteria) and supported by health professionals trying to capitalize on it is the real issue. It becomes a serious issue when they convince legislators and health bodies that it's real, using lobbying and other tactics.
Because a monopoly is a special status that infers special powers and special responsibilities.

Announcement of existence doesn't mean the project wasn't worked on for many years prior. Either way, this was just a quick example off the top of my head. Nothing will be a proper comparison because, as the headline states, SC is the first to raise this much and take this long to deliver.
> simply saying "Surprise....enormous fine" is ridiculous.

The case started in 2015. So Google had enough time to appeal and provide info to regulators. So, it wasn't a surprise. Yes the law might not be clear but I think the deliberations took time because of the same reason. If laws were clearer Google fines might have happened back in 2015.

Are you just ignoring the part where they use linux which has a gplv2 license?
This is always an interesting problem of definition and separation. If all the things google claims are absolutely essential and inseparable as part of 'Android' the license could well be interpreted as requiring them to open source all of it. If, on the other hand, these are all separate pieces of software and not totally dependent to deliver the end 'experience' then that contradicts some of Google's legal arguments.
Yes, that would be the logical thing to find fair once you forgo your current ego. Disclosure, I eat meat, and if people should critique me in the future, so be it.

Half the people in this thread are ripping on Lenin because of the things he did, even though at the time they were mostly "lawful" since he wrote the law.

We absolutely should disgrace the horrible things people did in the past, so that to not do them over again.
How Cutting-Edge Archaeology Can Improve Public Health
In the US/UK civil engineering is often taken to mean constructing buildings (very roughly, in a nutshell), whereas other countries (in particular continental Europe) use the meaning that you quote. So you can have a Belgian civil engineer who specializes in theoretical physics, and knows more about the Higgs boson than about "traditional" engineering topics.
I think it totally makes sense to do stuff like this as long as you keep a very thin layer of abstraction between your YAML declarations and Jenkins config. Like, someone familiar with Jenkins and the naming conventions should easily be able to come in and map what buttons and boxes they fill in the UI to what is declared in the YAML. I’ve worked with several build systems that try to get way too clever with this and all you end up with is huge amounts of config files that only a few people are able to understand and manage (even if there is nice documentation!). Build systems are just as important for following the Principle of Least Astonishment as codebases are.

This is our version of a satirical fundraising campaign by a comedian?
This is especially important, and I don't see anyone else here (at the moment of posting this) calling this out. This is a disastrous precedent to set for consumers, because it means that even though you are agreeing to terms on the date of the sale, those same terms of the sale can be changed on a moments notice and still affect you, without your knowledge or consent. It's a shame that he has to keep fighting this, but I would assume (edit: I should say, I really, really hope) that this decision will eventually be overturned.
How can Safari go this long without implementing this part of the HTML5 standard? Is there even a ticket to implement?

I'm convinced Bodak Yellow was the result of a bet to see just how bad a "talent" producers could make a star on the basis of one good song.
They do have the copyright to the code they wrote, but not to the code they took and changed (Apache Harmony, Linux kernel). They can relicense everything that originated from them, and provide it under a pure commercial license or dual-license it.

However, it might mean that they have to re-implement big parts of the Android runtime, or even do clean-room implementations by people not previously involved in those projects, to prevent legal attacks on the inevitably-similar code that results.

Yeah, what Google is learning here is that you should never license your OS/sell to other manufacturers and never make it open-source and just go the Apple route instead, create the device yourself and make the OS completely proprietary and closed.
Personally I think speed is generally overrated for the reasons you mention, if you type at around 100WPM you probably won't be significantly limited by your fingers for any practical task. For me it's more about comfort, I switched to a better keyboard and the Dvorak layout because I started to have wrist pain. I don't know if dvorak is all that superior to qwerty but it gave me an opportunity to completely re-learn how to type since very few keys line up, and this time I tried to learn proper hand and finger placement etc...

I am developing a finance tech, full stack app, solo. This would probably be fantastic, but the time/money commitment is

>Not working my 9-5 job that pays 2k/week

>Not obsessively working on my app after work 4hr/night 5 + 12hr2= 44 hours/week of not programming

Im sure its a great opportunity, but I am unsure if its the better decision. I already have a community that visits Efficiency Is Everything, I already can program, and I have a significant savings.

Business skills may be a real thing to learn, but its a risky 10 week proposal.

Anyone care to share thoughts on this decision? I would rather find out I'm wrong, than be wrong and make a bad decision.
