This is ends up being effectively a tariff, though - if fewer advertising platforms can take European customers, then that allows those platforms to raise their prices for those customers, essentially meaning that European businesses end up paying more for advertising than their competitors from elsewhere.

It's sort of like arbitrage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage

If, for instance, the left side of your single digital market has a copyright duration of 70 years after the death of the artist, and the right side has 90 years instead, then in effect, it's 70 years even on the right side because anyone can just go to the left side, trade copies of the expired works without paying licensing fees, then come back to the right side with those copies (because it's a single market).

So in effect, the regulation of the whole market is the weakest regulation of any part of it.

Yep. I bought iPhone 8 because I wanted to try force touch and faster CPU. Well, it's a feature I could skip (actually I don't even understand why is it there, long press would work just as well) and iPhone SE size would be more comfortable for me (I came from 4S). I'm using iPhone 8 for a few monthes and it's still very uncomfortable to use for me, it's too huge and I can't reach every screen point with my thumb. Certainly a degraded experience from using a smaller phone. I hope that they'll make something smaller next time I'll change phone.
Speaking purely anecdotally, it could be because some people have trouble discerning between the culture, the broad ethnic groups considered to be 'Chinese' no matter where in the world they are, the headline-generating government of the P. R. of China, and Chinese nationality of people who were geographically there when they entered the world. This leads to all sorts of arguments of "the Chinese are horrible people and can't be trusted because their government does terrible things."
More hard data from NSF global R&D spend. China seems laser focused on its momentum. But percentage-wise US allocation for pure science or basic research is roughly 17%. While China is at 5%. With a decided tilt toward product and materials based development.

I don't disagree with you. Hell I have no basis to do so.

But this sounds soooo much like the marketing around the IBM/Moto G3/G4 chips that it's amazing.

"This specific number is bigger in the competition, but the number that really matters is this other one that's smaller!"

And this was legitimately true for a certain amount of time. There were G3 and G4 chips that actually smoked Intel's best chips in the mid-late 90s and early 2000s.

This is probably true as well. I have no reason to think otherwise.

But I love how you're sheepishly trying to make a win out of different numbers it's doing. Tastes like justice for those of us who were a little chafed by other CPU fabs not quite getting it right for a while, 20-something years ago.

It depends a lot on the amounts involved. Sure, you can't move $100K (or even multiple $9K) from bank accounts without government oversight. But it's not that hard to divert cash more gradually, over time. I mean, I managed to casually acquire $50K in gold over a few years, buying for cash at swap meets.

And yes, if you've diverted a lot, it might be prudent to relocate to some safe haven, before the fit hits the shan.

> That being said, Google executives are not elected representatives of the American people and they subvert the voter’s will at the risk of regulation that will likely be worse for them and their customers.

Google executives and Google as such have the Constitutionally protected right to attempt to influence elections by lawful means, and regulatory retaliation for such activism is exactly what the First Amendment exists to protect against.

(It's kind of ironic that the people arguing that Google should be regulated for advocating against the current administration and the Party behind it often think that the rules preventing churches from retaining their tax-code subsidy while actively campaigning for candidates should be abolished, as they assume those would be likely, on balance, to advocate for that party.)

Sorry that was massively unclear of me, and the answer is 8oz of water is a serving, unit, whatever. Aka ~120ml.

Creating your own typeface seems a bit excessive. Here are the things that I would change based on my first reaction.

- Remove the tail on the Uppercase "U"

- Uppercase "I" and lowercase "l" are identical.

- Rewrite the lowercase "g" as it looks like an "o" with a "j" attached.

- The tail on the lowercase "j" is cut off prematurely.

- The tail on the lowercase "a" should be straight instead of curved out. Will cause problems with tracking.

Would love to see the rest of the ascii chars, as typeface designers often get a bit too crazy with some of the symbols and it really makes or breaks the design.

I'm sure you think you know something about me from a cursory browsing of my comment history, but that wouldn't reveal anything important like the fact that I'm one of the top 5 people in the ad industry who has called for regulation for years, and actually spent the time and money on trying to make it happen, and also did so in the US market which completely dwarfs anything in Europe.

But since you're operating on assumptions and have nothing better to offer than saying "denial", then I'll just go ahead and assume that your experience with both adtech and GDPR amounts to something less than insignificant and that your future comments on this topic will remain lacking.

Wow, those are really low numbers. I'm pretty confident you can fetch very similar salaries in Montreal, and housing is 3-5 times cheaper? Or even more?

I (and about 50 of my developer coworkers) make those sort of salaries here in small-town Quebec, with significantly cheaper housing than even Montreal.

I'm sure Vancouver is a beautiful city, but comparing those salary numbers against the housing over there makes it extremely unattractive.
The CEOs of Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services all have MBAs. There are also lots of examples of MBA founders.

This has happened despite the fact that historically most MBAs have gone to banking and consulting. With MBA grads shifting toward tech, we should expect that many more tech CEOs and founders will have MBAs.

I also think quanticle is wrong, but for quite different reasons.

I didn't start programming as "a profession", and have zero desire to "put away childish things".

Sure, I get paid (and paid well) to do some of this stuff, and accept "the increasing responsibility" while doing it at work on someone else's dime.

But...

I do it for a living because I enjoy doing it for fun - and as a result of that I'm good at it. I started programming in high school because I was intensely curious about how computers worked, and how other people made them do "interesting things", and how I could do similar or radically different "interesting things" myself. I still (when I'm not too burned out solving work's problems, which are "in the grand scheme of things, not actually all that important") retain that curiosity and the hubris to think "I could do that. In fact, it'd be _more_ hilarious if they'd done it differently... _I_ could do it better!"

Businesses benefiting from my work, or payroll systems/hospitals/oil-refineries using any of my creativity or problem-solving is - for me - purely a side effect of the whimsy and childishness that makes me interested in and good at what I do.

I realise this is a very personal point of view - and I recognise there are people out there (including some of my co workers) who pursued CompSci or other IT related degrees based purely on potential career earnings, and I don't for a minute look down on them or their motivations. But I recognise around me people - like antirez - that obviously share some of my joy and delight in the ability to "just make computers do interesting shit for the hell of it".

(To be honest, I'm in one of my "burnt out by work" patches right now, and this piece by antirez has inspired me to get back to my notebook and pinboard bookmarks, to do something hardware/software related which is completely useless, apart from making me and perhaps a few friends smile...)
I think youd' enjoy Hatha Yoga. The goal is eventually to leave the world through enlightenment (raising the energy at the base of the spine into the skull, and in the process leaving your body (dying!)). Think of it as a graceful dismount from life.

ALso when you stretch the shit out of yourself in full splits, you feel great afterwards and get to simulate ripping yourself apart in a 'deathlike' fashion. each time you practice the session you are performing a mini death. Starting standing up and eventually ending while sitting down in asana, (close to the ground ready to decompose and return to the earth where we all came from) you get to die each day!

We have the terms monologue and dialogue, but I'm not aware of words for 3 speakers or more specified by number. (They may exist, but presumably aren't in common usage.)

So I'm a little surprised to learn that four-way conversations are a thing, actually. Or an important thing, I guess. Not that they exist per se, but that they are an important demarcation.
I don't think the UCTA disagrees with me. What it does is creates a framework that further defines what is legal / enforceable. Until it says that one party being unhappy with the outcome because they didn't read contract constitutes unfairness, then I think we're actually on the same page.
People keep saying this but that's exactly how it's being done. This is what happens with regulation "on principle" instead of by the letter, which is what GDPR chose to be.

> I'm not sure it's reasonable to conflate ripping off creators by enabling massive commercial use of unauthirized copies of their original content with actually creating something.

Here's an example: What about movie review channels like Wisecrack, Film Theorist, Cinema Sins, Filmjoy etc.? While discussing movies, they naturally have to show excerpts: short clips of the movie that relate to their explanations. Those guys are absolutely "creating something". And if anything, they're driving more people to watch those movies. A five-minute analysis of a movie is usually not a valid substitute for watching the actual movie.

I imagine that many of these channels will become unavailable in the EU in the near future. Time to get a US-based VPN.

> Linux is fine for the kind of people who only use computers to consume content

Consuming content these days often involves DRM, which rarely works on Linux. For example, if the context is books, good luck dealing with Adobe or Amazon DRM to read them on your Linux desktop (you can strip it, but it's a lot more technical than just clicking and opening it on Windows or Mac).

Or how about music? How do you sync your iPhone with your Linux desktop?
Leaked Video Reveals Distraught Google Execs Grappling with Hillary Clinton Loss
But did those conventions cause all those things, or did the incentives that caused the conventions also cause all those things? Because addressing the conventions is just cargo-cult economics, we want the incentives.

The US system is massively debt based at the moment, private debt (note: private not public) went from 40% -> 80% GDP from 1970 to today. My naive perspective is that I would expect higher debt loads to cause:

* Lower GDP growth

* Higher costs of living

* Reduced economic stability

* Consolidation (because large players have more capital so can secure larger loans)

* Low real wage growth (because ability to earn by working is not as attractive because there is an option to 'earn' by borrowing)

The US ended the Brenton Woods system in the early 70s, and the consolidations really started in in around the early 80s [1]. So we know that there were some pretty major changes at the roots, of the financial system. It seems very plausible that some critical incentive changed in the late 70s (roughly lines up with Paul Volcker becoming Fed chair) and we have been seeing the ramifications ever since. That happens to coincide with the highest interest rates set under the current monetary system and the start of the current trend which is extending into the negatives [2].

"used to weaken" and "has economic impact" are very different things.
The statute of limitation applies to the time between the moment the crime was committed and the moment charges are filed. If charges were filled and warrants were issued in 1978 but the "fugitive" was not caught, the statute of limitation won't apply, and the suspect could still be arrested now.
IMO, the short-term profitability of the company is irrelevant to the market rate they pay their workers.

If they pay too little, they don't get enough workers. If they pay enough, they do. Long-term profitability / cash flow / available capital/debt all affect the corporations ability to continue to pay wages, so in that sense they set a ceiling.

In terms of the government assistance, that is largely unrelated to the employer(s). There is a government program that determines person X is eligible for assistance and person X takes advantage of that program. It is not required that corporations pay an amount such that person X becomes ineligible for the program. For all I know, the eligibility rules take into account family size, student loans, health situation, alimony, or any number of other factors that are literally not the business nor concern of the employer.

An employer hires a worker to do a job. They pay that worker, after which point, the sides are square. The fact that a worker is or is not eligible for that program represents a subsidy to that citizen. If the company fired them or they quit, they'd still be eligible for that subsidy (in most cases). It's the decision of society to support its members, and I don't accept the translation to "it's a subsidy of the employer" as being a lossless one.

Enacting rules to ensure that companies need to pay more for employees who are on/near welfare or other government programs will likely have a negative effect on hiring those very workers, most of whom are presumably in a fairly precarious situation economically.

Do you want Walmart hiring Biff and Muffy, who are not on assistance because of their family situation, rather than hiring Joe and Mary, who are each single parents trying to earn money to lead their kids out of poverty?

> I applaud the move. Curious that these cases stretch as far back as 1978, isn't there a statute of limitations for this sort of charge?

The statute of limitations runs from the date of the alleged offense to when charges are filed; cases may not be resolved timely after charges are filed, e.g., if a defendant flees and prevents the case from proceeding to trial.
As much as this may annoy Angela Merkel, Germany and the EU are not the same thing. We're talking about EU legislation, and translating and relating that to German, French, British, Italian, Romanian, etc. law will always result in awkward translations that are not quite spot on. We are not lawyers, this isn't a court, and we can afford a bit of imprecision to get the point across with finitely many words, can't we?

Germany has "Urheberrecht" and "Verwertungsrecht", neither of which is exactly copyright, even though that's the most practical translation of either. German law may not have fair use, but it does have §51 UrHG "Zitate", which serves the same purpose, at least in the context of reporting on news articles.

> So free speech in the US sense is no important issue for these politicians

The Eurocrats do not want free speech to establish itself in the EU. That's very important to them.
I’m aware of that. I’m curious if further action can be taken.
