Pretty much every business will use different numbers in marketing themselves than they should be using to measure the health of their business. The purpose of marketing numbers is different, because they have to sound impressive to a broad audience rather than the most critical thinkers within that audience.
How do you package the binary for release? I think that's one of the biggest pain points right now, otherwise I would be much more inclined to do something with Qt.

I tried PyInstaller for some scripts a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly and easily, but I don't know if it works with Qt.
Wait, that's 8 years. Article says they didn't start the kickstarter till 2012; 6 years ago.

So if price pressure from consumers forces down your profit then you should be allowed to exploit a monopolistic position to leverage profits in another sector?

Like, own all cinemas in a country but home-viewing keeps profit low, so now it's fine to only allow people to visit your cinemas if they buy clothes from your clothing company?
False positives are one of the more difficult problems in collision avoidance. Small pieces of metallic debris on the road surface (for example) can throw off a huge radar signature that looks like something that you really wouldn't want to hit.

Many automatic emergency braking implementations disable at high speeds, and/or ignore stationary objects, for this reason.

I get the impression that Tesla has made their automatic braking a bit more aggressive in recent updates, given recent publicity about cars hitting fixed objects while on autopilot.

>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.

I am not aware of a smartphone out there where that isn't true. What is the incentive for Google to continue updating Android at all?
Tesla insists that drivers pay attention at all times, to catch cases where the system fails. Without numbers on how often that happens, these figures give no quantitative evidence for its effectiveness.

The margins of the Play Store are huge and it's quite easy to disrupt with a copy cat - the developers will flock to an alternative store with similar functionality and 2% fees. And of course customers.

The Play store is the crown jewel and protecting that massive revenue stream is paramount, it could well become the most important software market in the world.
no, the law isn't "clear"

Well , judges had a look and decided it was
Mine is the 9360 with the i7-8550U. In high performance mode, it's a hair drier. In balanced, the fan is a constant annoying whine if I have, for example, Webpack in watch mode, or am typing code quickly and keeping the IDE's language service active, or if any browser tab has any active JS at all. Basically if the CPU is at a reasonable speed and at 20% load, constant fan noise.

It's quiet if I have it in "silent" mode, but then I might as well be using a 350$ machine, as far as performance is concerned.

Maybe you have a slower CPU, or they fixed the thermals in your model?

I agree. But binding arbitration isn't written into the constitution. If we want to change it, you and I should take the matter up with Congress. (Unfortunately, that body appears to be largely ineffective these days, but that's a BIGGER problem.)
This infuriates me. This is predatory and wrong. It blows my mind how many people justify the EU's actions.

There’s a crowdsourced tracker of all of the promises made to backers of Star Citizen over the years thoroughly documented with links to the proof.

https://starcitizentracker.github.io/

Since posting this always gets a lot of hatred from the koolaid drinkers, I’m going to pre-emptively suggest that, if you have a problem with something on the tracker, you should submit a correction. You should not attack me or the people who contributed to it.
There's nothing wrong with hoping a freely licensed open source competitor will come along and lower the cost of developing in the space.

PyQT are free to extract fees from the ecosystem as long as they can, just as some open source devs are free to try to eat their lunch money.
So would someone typing on this keyboard look more like someone playing piano where they are holding and raising and lowering certain fingers?
Never mind. I'm sure it's all gonna be spent on good causes!
"import" or rather combine then.
> However if the alternative is having to deal with the EU Commission then yep, I guess hard brexit is the next best alternative.

They're currently headed towards not really exiting the EU. Once they looked into the details they determined that the drawbacks were outright lies (350M GBP/week) and the benefits are huge. It might even end up as a paper exercise.
What about Apple here? I'd like to release a phone with a fork of iOS and the App Store, but I'm guessing they won't let me.
That's revenue. Earnings last year were $12.7B.
Another point is easily refuelable. Chainsaws are by and large 2 stroke due to weight, and while electric saws do exist they have a short runtime. Hauling enough batteries into the woods for a day of firewood cutting isn't an option when 1.5gal of fuel will more than suffice.
There is literally a "world" of difference between a collection of trade-aligned sovereign nations, and a single nation of autonomous economic regions. As you mention, it's an accepted part of daily business in the US but everybody pays taxes to the Fed at the end of the day. All governed by the same congress, president, and a coherent political dialogue throughout. That's not to say it'll always remain so.

The particular problem with the EU is that it's a system of "good faith" agreements that has until quite recently been quite weak against cynical attacks.

This kind of dealing undermines the spirit of the EU accords and you can expect it to be dealt with in the course of time - probably through tax harmonisation, which wouldn't then be a million miles away from the american model.
If travel speed isn't a concern could blimps be powered by batteries and solar?
GPL is pretty clear on this one: importing modules counts as linking. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfInterpreterIsGPL

Most companies aren't in multiple different markets.

Honestly your comment is pretty much kindergarten level argumentation, so I think that maybe you should just take your ball and go home.

The question was regarding to the logic behind why Google is getting fined, while Apple is not, and I think I answered that question pretty well.
Excluding C extensions, isn't Python linking (via import) dynamic only?
Its been so many years and this game still is no where near completion. A great example of feature creep and why waterfall approaches are sometimes not the best.
There is nothing that you said that requires Android to be open source.
I remember sitting in on a meeting where an “enterprise” consultant was trying to sell the telecom I worked for at the time on a single sign on system that worked by wrapping intranet sites in a frame with a shared cookie.

He insisted on calling the cookie a secure token so it would seem different.

Asking price? $100k

Wouldn’t shock me if it was related.
Fair enough. I still feel like iPhones are infested with apple apps for my benefit or at least to not let other cos take advantage of me. Apple’s privacy oriented disposition makes this perception.

My iPhone serves me even if it is apple infested. My Nexus 6P can’t make me feel the same. Feels like it exists only to feed google data about me, and help me a little while doing so.

Google fined 5.1B in EU antitrust ruling on smartphones
As someone from a small town (what I meant by "rural"), I find socializing much easier there than in the big city. In the city, it's much harder to meet new people, where in a small town everybody knows everybody else.

That has its own disadvantages, but I think the social/communal ties are definitely stronger in small towns.
The world is not down to China and the US. How about walking on French or German roads? How about cycling on a Dutch or Danish road? People there are rule abiding, very much so compared to China, and at the same time respect pedestrian and cyclists. The problem in the US is the quasi universal car dependency.
In my opinion the game looks great so far and I hope they take their time to finish it.

Should they manage to match their own high expectations, the game will be played for years to come, like WoW, and it'd better have a good base then.
Thank you for clarifying that. Guess we just have to go by reports from the plaintiff then unless RSI chooses to give details (and presumably their lawyers would advise them to either not do so at all or to make something extremely bland and minimal).
I wonder how efficient could someone be if they mastered this keyboard compared to traditional one? My first thought is that it takes more movement of fingers to achieve the same result. For example typing one letter multiple times would make you lift and lower multiple fingers at once. Or going from B to V takes no effort on traditional keyboard compared to raising and lowering combination of 3 different fingers. Nonetheless pretty cool
It doesn't seem so in the provided "short" example video [0].

Unfortunately the thumb is on the wrong part of the hand for this system to work on touchscreen (imho). Maybe it would be suitable for chimpanzees, or a hardware device like a twiddler.

Elite has deeper combat and PvP.

NMS has base building and much better world exploration.

Both games are a grind until you come across a strategy that gives you a bunch of currency and then it's just a sandbox because you can buy everything (NMS less so because you sometimes have to find the thing to buy).
(Not OP:) In theory I agree. As soon as you have IPR like patents and copyright that are protecting the new product then you're inhibiting access for other companies; that is probably the case in a lot of new markets.

This is all generally very good advice. However, I think the "Ignore Playtesters" section is wrong. You do have to not just take their idea carte blanche and add it. But you should listen to their ideas because it is always in one of three categories.

1) Their idea is to fix a problem in your game but they may have trouble articulating it.
2) Their idea is for an additional element that will add to the strategy or fun of your game.
3) Their idea is to change the game to the type of game they like. You shouldn't usually heed this advice but it is very important to ask why players of games X don't like this game.
This reminds me of steno keyboards and the plover system. It's interesting, but I don't think it's the most important thing for developers. In my opinion a comfortable keyboard like an ortho one, and a bunch of helpers like modal editor and shortcuts using something like qmk provide the most value. That takes you to like 90%. Using steno after that is just pushing you to like 95%.
(I know that's some weird random metric, but hopefully I got the point across.)
I want to build a mirror chorded keyboard, using an existing split design like a Dactyl or Ergodox, where a modifier on each side gives you the mirrored key (mod+A gives you ', mod+e gives you p, etc.)

I've seen some commercial keyboards like this, but they're incredibly expensive and non-mechanical (mostly geared to people who are disabled/have limited or no use of one hand).

My theory is that the learning curve of a one handed keyboard that is just a mirror would be easier than a totally new layout like the FrogPad or the example linked here.

Reprogramming an existing split model means I could also build both the left/right hand versions and try to learn both.
Are you suggesting that to interpret the law correctly here, a court has to judge Google's motivation of releasing the Android code as Open Source?

Further, if Apple were to decide, tomorrow, to release iOS as open source, would they also be in violation of the law (possibly depending on their motivation?)
That's revenue, not profits. That is also not even revenue but annual run rate based on Q4.
Reminds me of the movie "Platinum Data", where DNA is used to show the face and physical characteristics of suspects from a crime scene. It's set in 2017.

I think so. If you click through to the videos you see it is all done on a phone. Seems like it would be hard to be fast without tactile feedback. The phone is just a demo of part of the concept.
You’re not committing to a purchase though, there is some inherent risk in a kickstarter that they won’t deliver. And there is very little mechanism to chase them (usually they have either done a runner or gone belly up)
So this is an interesting case, because the company is still around, and especially so as the poor guy is suffering MS and so has a more time limited domain to see a reward
This isn't an isolated incident or new news. It's standard IBM at this point, and the world deserves to know.
I can't believe I read around the important bits of the second paragraph. Thanks.

I wouldn't write off government investment just yet. It did, after all, give us the Internet. No community could have built that. Computer networks and hardware are both capital investment-heavy, long-term public benefits.

The OSS analogue would be ham radio. Which is great and all, but...

So much of our aerospace industry is based off of government initial R&D. If the government is going to do anything to help the tech space, this is it.

Just to put this in context, the population of the EU is 508M vs e.g. the USA 325M

That's an awful lot of €€€ to turn your nose up at.
Wouldn’t an obvious initial answer to this problem be open source and self hosting. That would for variation of the host name making it harder for ISPs to target this test for either positive or negative reporting. I’m assuming the test downloads and uploads a specific resource...
The way I see it is net neutrality is very unfair to the isp. It creates unnecessary burden to the isp. Of course Isp will hate it and will fight for it as much as their can.

Google domination at core of new antitrust fine
I'm a backer and I have no problem with this. Many AAA titles take a decade or more from start to finish. For example, between Diablo 2 and 3. I want the best space sim and I like what RSI is doing. I'm not holding my breath, just living my life and when the game is finished I will be happy to play it. Although, I also did not drop 5 grand on this game.
I think he's pointing out that the investment should go to a community-owned initiative, not companies who may take the funds and not take the initiative to heart.
Because so many BIOSes provide completely broken ACPI tables to non-Windows OSes, I think Linux reports itself as being Windows to the ACPI code these days. So no, it probably can't.

5b is about one quarter of profit for Google. It's practically peanuts, 0.4% of their market capitalization.
> I also feel like Android could play a huge role in IoT if it weren't as Google infested as you call it.

Google does develop a fork of Android for IoT, called Android Things :
https://developer.android.com/things/

It's basically an Android system with a minimal list of apps and services (no Google apps for example) intended to run only one user app.
I would imagine having to use a touchscreen is a serious speed impediment, because of inherent latency issues on a touchscreen (if it responds too quickly, it gets too many transients). Physical chord keyboards should be able to go faster. I've seen various conflicting reports of how fast a chorded keyboard can go, possibly because it's really hard to find anyone with 10 years experience on a chorded keyboard.
Part of the problem is that they're hacking MP into an engine that hasn't really been proven out for MP so until they get that sorted MP is gonna be rough.

>Crowdfunding can clearly serve a useful role as part of the modern mix of societal funding sources, but it's definitely still more wild west when it comes to uniformity of terms and regulations. It's not "investing" in the classic sense but it's also certainly not "donating" either, nor is it a preorder.

Furthermore kickstarting also has these secondary effects of promotion and market research. If this thing existed would anyone actually be interested in it?

The confusion wasn't helped by the fact that some rules have shifted on these platforms over time. As I recall, kickstarter originally had a requirement of [ADDED: a hard requirement for] giving money back if you couldn't deliver--which was never very practical. Getting money from a stone sort of thing.

Backers also differ. Plenty are fine with spending a little money to be involved in something and offer encouragement. Others obviously really do view it as a preorder and get very angry if things go south.

My understanding is that much of the official work on the Qt libraries over the last few years, has been to do with assisting rapid application development. What was your reason for going with Python over the nearest official alternative, 'Qt Quick'?

(Qt Quick uses webby technologies like JavaScript, but of course retains support for C++. Incidentally it also seems to be where their backend work is focused - their shiny Direct3D 12 engine is for Qt Quick only, as far as I know.)

As yoklov said, I had to have a small script[1] run a quick check on every page you visit to check if the URL is a Pinpointer URL. As far as I can tell there's no way around this (and I'd say breaking backwards compatibility with HTTP is a bit drastic for a little browser extension like this).

[1] https://github.com/Rumperuu/Pinpointer/blob/master/content_s...
indeed in most cases where kickstarters don't deliver by such wide margins the company is long gone.

This one is probably on older Kickstarter T&Cs so it'd be harder to get money back. In more recent times Kickstarter have tried to toughen up a little after early failures like ZioneyeZ

Though tax avoidance was a corporate strategy and they actually sought these deals it would not have been obvious that this was technically illegal. The Irish Revenue Commissioners told them it was legal as an interpretation of Irish law, which was incorrect.
My understanding is that Star Citizen ran into an insane amount of both feature and scope creep.

Of course, at its core, it's a game about space exploration, so I can understand just how vast that would be at an abstract level, but trying to implement a 1-to-1 of that is just absurd to me.
