They do, but I wouldn't consider that to be the customer paying Google directly. There's a reason why people usually use the word "tax" to refer to this (and Apple's cut on their store).

I suppose buying a gift card is technically giving Google money directly, but that isn't the same thing as payment for services rendered, it's just exchanging USD for Google Play credit, which you then spend on apps. Or in other words, you get the exact same service that you do if you skip the gift card and just pay for apps at the point of sale.

Yeah you're right - Namecoin has a massive squatting problem. It costs only pennies to register a name which doesn't help.

One possible solution is a proof of work for name registrations, similar to the Onion Name System [1]. There is a short talk by Jesse Victors that explains it nicely [2].

If you just want pure email, migadu.com works very well. I like the fact that they price based on emails sent, not domains or addresses. This lets me run a different domain with a regex based catchall for account registrations so that my personal inbox remains clean.
They do require you to purchase your own domain but you should do that anyway to ensure that a provider can't lock you out of your digital life.
> By constantly playing on the offensive, they've put Facebook and Twitter on a constantly defensive posture worried about being called out as having 'liberal bias'.

Jack Dorsey and Zuckerburg said their company had liberal bias. We know google does.

> The fact that Jack had to personally intervene to stop his employees from banning Alex Jones (after numerous egregious violations) speaks to the power of this approach.

Alex Jones got banned anyways. For things far more benign than say what sarah jeong wrote.

Stop it. It's been proven that there is bias. The only question is what, if anything, should be done about it. What's with the blatant dishonesty here? How can there be an honest discussion when people outright lie?

The somehow is the access to contraceptives being severely curtailed. Outside of condoms pretty much every form of contraceptive is much more expensive and harder to get than it once was. Free/Cheap birth control was an excellent way to prevent pregnancies but various entities have conspired to take that away, with the ridiculous idea that people will just stop having sex. Condoms can be expensive if you are living below the poverty line but people aren't going to stop having sex. Thus you have these obvious consequences.
Even US government doesn't have public trust right now. I don't think Americans trust anyone/anything under current political climate.
And the legal definition of "no choice" means "no choice if you want to make money driving other people in a manner where you set your own hours"? Because you have lots of other options both for employment, and for driving other people (bus driver, shuttle driver, limousine driver...), and for driving (package delivery, truck driver).

I just don't get the intuition for how a (relatively) new market entrant in a relatively new market can, in any meaningful sense, be such a vital option that the other side is powerless.

The FCC is able to regulate cross-market ownership of media only when the ownership includes a license to broadcast within publicly owned spectrum. It's not technological specificity, it has to do with the root of each technology's ability to broadcast media.

I'm not disputing that. What I am saying is that, until the Swift representations of the Apple platform SDKs are stable between releases (like it is in Objective-C), then the majority of Swift codebases will not be source compatible the way Objective-C codebases are.
On the other hand refactoring is much easier if all your signals are connected in code.
Kotlin might look like Swift on the surface, but under that they're very different in how they're designed.
Sure, I get that. But everything is a trade off. I'm probably not as concerned about the privacy issues inherent in Play & GSF, but I'm at least somewhat concerned. Just trying to figure out what exactly I'd be giving up, and in what ways I'd make my life more difficult. (Obviously that's a pretty me-specific thing, so I'm probably not gonna get a great answer here. But I think it's worth thinking about.)

I think you will be disappointed if you expect an approach that doesn't do roughly what Rust does aliasing-wise, and doesn't do something very conservative on >1 word sized updates, to be memory safe in the presence of concurrency. People have been working on that problem for a really long time and I frankly don't see any approach that is going to work in a C++ environment other than Rust's. For the single threaded case, sure, you can probably get close with something much more relaxed. But the Rust core team is not stupid, they didn't insist on such stringent aliasing rules just so you could use restrict.
i think the techempowered benchmarks [https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/] don't show a pretty picture for swift-based web framework. But hopefully swift nio will change all that..

Quantum mechanics may possibly be a case of observing determinism but we assume randomness by our current technology. Everything else observable has been fitting the deterministic modal.

Having recently encountered vague law - specifically GDPR - I cannot give the experience a positive recommendation. The position of being unable to determine what is actually required of your company, what the consequences might be, and thus what the risks actually are makes for an extremely uncomfortable environment.

Core question: what does "reasonable" mean? Do I get to define it, or some information security peer? Is it going to be defined as a matter of convenience by some functionary looking to make quota?

It's my professional responsibility to provide informative and actionable risk assessments and guidance. Crap like this makes that impossible.
I grew up in Brooklyn in the late 90s, early 2000s. It wasn't the safest neighborhood in the 90s but over time crime dropped significantly. Our neighborhood had/has a huge West Indian population. Growing up I rarely saw white people in the neighborhood. The only other race was Asian folks who owned restaurants and other businesses nearby on Flatbush Ave.

I moved from NYC in 2013 and every time I go back I'm amazed at how much the neighborhood has changed. There is a million dollar condo down the block from my childhood apartment with an art gallery in the bottom floor, an art gallery!

It's good to see the neighborhood grow but its disheartening to see how many people have been pushed out. I have family members who are in rent controlled apartments and developers / landlords are doing everything in their power to kick them out. My mom's apartment needs frequent repair which the landlord drags his feet on but just down the hall there is a yuppie with a newly renovated apartment (and the rental bill to show for it). NY has changed so much.

White House Assembles Big Firms to Lead Race in Quantum Computing
> while Democrats have sat on their hands over the past decade

Well, except for when they didn't. A simple search reminds us of this:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/ftc-to-an...

"Google emerged from nearly two years of intense federal scrutiny Thursday by convincing the Federal Trade Commission that even though rivals may suffer as the company continually refines its search engine, consumers often win through better, faster, more valuable answers to their queries."

This also ignores more recent requests from Democrats to look into Google:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/06/04...

"The new complaint comes from Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, a progressive in the upper ranks of the Democratic National Committee. In a letter to the Federal Trade Commission dated May 31, Ellison urged the watchdog agency to take a closer look at Google and its parent company, Alphabet, given that European regulators recently found that the search giant harmed its rivals and fined it $2.7 billion.

“The FTC should determine whether Alphabet has engaged in similar conduct in the United States and whether such conduct violates the FTC Act,” he wrote."

Those are just two cases I found in searches.

I wouldn't call this sitting on your hands.

> ...so we're not hearing a peep of antitrust talk from the Dems.

We are. It's just getting drowned out by everything else that is happening.
I hate to argue where you've said so much that's right, but neither party is really concerned about what's good for their base. They are concerned about what keeps them in power. Sometimes that is about doing what's good for your base, so they keep on voting for you, but sometimes you shaft your base to enlarge, enrich, or strengthen your kingdom. But in the end there are no statesmen — just power-hungry opportunists.
They have to, the current admin is threatening to break them up. Google isn't sworn to a political ideology, even its employees are overwhelmingly concentrated at the end of the spectrum.
I was talking about Altair BASIC, Micro-Soft (as they were then called) first product and it was pitched to Ed Roberts (MITS founder) to run on his Altair before any code had been written on their (Micro-Soft's) BASIC interpreter. So I was absolutely correct to state they didn't have a product to sell there.

And yes, MS-DOS was originally a SCP product - however you've left out the important part: when Microsoft visited IBMs headquarters to sell their disk operating system after Digital Research struck out with IBM (though accounts regarding what happened there differ wildly depending on who you ask), Microsoft did not have a CP/M nor DOS clone at that time which is why they approached Tim Patterson of SCP and later bought the OS for a pittance compared to what Microsoft then licenced it for. Thus once again I'm completely correct to say Microsoft didn't have a product to sell.

I don't know why you and the former poster have gotten so hung up on who originally created MS-DOS since I was only discussing it's licensing to IBM. But hopefully you now understand the point I was making.
You can think of keys as being a device key.

But now you just kick the can back. You still have to have an account that manages the device keys, and you certainly don't want that locked down to a device - unless that device is the user's brain.

So either way, you're still gonna have to use a system to manage it that looks 110% like the MIT Open Source security/cryptography code anybody can rip from us.

Maybe crawling should be a common utility, with the ranking being left to individual competition, similar to fiber lines owned by utilities and then companies being free to lease those and deal with end customers. As it is, many websites are hostile to new crawlers that don't already have lots of traffic to bring them in exchange, so it's difficult to offer an alternative to Google, even if you can get over the high minimum bar of being able to crawl a significant fraction of the web.
In many cases I think it goes beyond a lack of ability, to wilful obtuseness.
It's not a part of history I know enough about - the quote raises almost as many questions as answers. I surely wouldn't appreciate being locked in a factory for a 12 hour shift whatever the reasons.

The little I do know about factory towns make me think the father's debt might very well be because of the factory town. It was common for the worker to be paid in factory currency to be spent in the factory store, live in a factory house, and for things to be organised such that they'd never make enough to pay off a debt accrued when they arrived and took on the house, or make enough to ever leave.

They were a very different thing to the model towns of the philanthropic industrialists of the Victorian age.

To your second point, sadly, I am in full agreement.
> I don't know how I should accept and understand her, forgive her and help her. She mentioned that she wanted to leave me, because she knew I loved her, so she can't become my burden. That deeply saddened me.

As someone who struggled with a bipolar diagnosis and now a borderline personality disorder diagnosis, you do not have to accept, understand, forgive, or help her.

In order to accept her you need to accept that she has hurt you and will continue to hurt you unless she decides to make a change. Mental health issues can make a person do bad things but it should never be an excuse. It's possible to get better but it requires work. I think when you separated you realized that you deserved to not be hurt, no matter what, and maybe she felt that way too. In order to forgive and help her, you will have to sacrifice yourself, because you cannot help her until she wants to help herself. I was diagnosed in high school and it took me almost 7 years to get to where I am today.

> For the past a few months, I have trapped myself in a loop of thinking about everything happened and feeling being used and then all the nice time we had together. I struggled a lot, not knowing if I should pick up the phone.

The bad doesn't take away the good times. I'd recommend going no contact to help recover. Do you have anyone you can reach out to? If you have someone you can talk to, catch up with, get a drink/coffee/shoot the shit with, they should be able to help you break you out of your loops and see the bad and good things better. And as someone commented below, therapists are the best. Wish you the best.

Google is big enough, and have effectively monopoly in a lot of areas. I am sure if the current admin trying to hurt it, they can always find ways to do it.
For middle income folks, it's more likely to help than to hurt.

If you're in the bottom 20% or the top 10%, then you're likely to be penalized if you're a dual income family and rewarded if you're a single income family. If you're between those two extremes, it can't hurt and might help.

You are probably not counting the Gradle daemon and kotlin compiler daemon. I have seen those grow to 4±GB and ~8GB respectively. Not using Kotlin definitely has advantages for memory usage.
I also like to think they were built thinking outside the box, because that box didn't exist yet. I think we should stop from time to time and think about our designs, is this the only and perfect way to design it? or maybe I'm just copying what everyone is doing?

Now days most cars, web pages, apps, phones, TVs, look the same, yes that has its benefits and maybe customers just want the same old things, but I always wonder how different designs would be if apple made a different iPhone, Ford a different model T, xerox a different UI...
I'm not sure why it is downvoted. This is true. I write both Golang and Python as part of my day job. I love both languages, but this is definitely the truth.

Go is more verbose. It also gives you the wonder of the compiler telling you about doing stupid things. That doesn't make it a worse language.

Google, Facebook, Twitter etc are profoundly different from any information medium that has existed in the past. As such, we must define new ways of thinking about their behavior, of considering the legality of their censorship.

What's especially insidious about censorship online that forces us to think differently about it is that when users do a Google search, they generally don't expect political bias to influence search results. People are aware of the biases of different media outlets and can tailor their consumption of such media accordingly, but the black box of social media and internet search means the bias is invisible and we can't monitor it the way we can when we read the New York Times or watch Fox News.

Yes these are private companies, but they monopolize what has become the public square and we must not allow the public square to be arbitrarily controlled by private entities.
