I agree that management above Greg could have possibly identified his behavior and acted on it, but it might be reaching a bit to expect them to have done so... sometimes these individuals can be hard to identify and root out (for example I doubt that Greg would ever be so mean in front of his bosses).

That's unacceptable. If there are no firm, objective rules then anyone can be guilty of anything and "inappropriateness" loses all meaning.

I suspect a manufacturer who licenses the Play/Gmail/YouTube/Maps bundle can pick and choose what they include, they just have to "buy" all of it. Bear in mind, the apps Google's trying to force install are primarily Search and Chrome, which Google says they'll offer a "financial incentive" for OEMs to include.

So more than likely, they'll pay OEMs to install Chrome and Search, and OEMs can cover the cost of licensing the others with it. So a wash for companies still shipping all Google apps. But OEMs can choose not to include some of Google's other pack-ins, and say, Firefox and DuckDuckGo, or Microsoft with Bing and Edge could make a competing bid to be the preinstalled search and browser, to provide revenue with which the OEM could then buy the license for the Play Store.

So this will probably be cost-neutral for phones packed with the status quo, but offers the chance for third parties to outbid Google on search and browser, or undercut Google's costs for their other apps, and OEMs will be able to leave Google's apps out of the image if they prefer to ship their own, like Samsung often does.
It's hard to commit antitrust violations in your dealings with yourself. What would they accuse Apple of...using their dominance in iPhone operating systems to force themselves to include their own store?

Google draws scrutiny from antitrust regulators in regard to phone software because Google is separate from the phone makers.

Google has used their position to strongarm manufacturers before. Skyhook Wifi Geolocation services was for a short time default on Moto/Samsung. Fearing loss of valuable essid wifi/cell tower scanning data collection, google forced Skyhook out. That was when wifi geolocation was still in its infancy on Android.

That's not really true, though. Users never said, for example, that they didn't want Windows Phone. They said that they wanted access to service X, Y and Z or app 1, 2 or 3, and Windows Phone did not provide that access.

That isn't consumer rejection so much as consumer reaction to the duopoly they are presented with.
To be fair, no one ever describes their side in unfavorable terms so I cannot expect the conference’s self description to be poorly worded.

For example, a conference for hardcore racists will claim to talk about the importance of “european heritage”, and hardcore sexists merely claim to want “traditional family values”.
They choose to bundle Google Play. Because if you don't have it (with Facebook, and Twitter, and Snapchat, and other essential apps for many people), your device won't sell. But to get the Google Play store, you also need to include Google Play services, Google Play Music, YouTube, Chrome, Google Maps, Location Services, Google Keep, Google Docs, other stores (Movies, NewsStand, Books), etc.

This ruling finally forces Google to decouple at least some of its apps from the package, and to sell some devices (but not all of them) with or without Google apps.
> avoiding one-time non-consumable items (one-time plates, forks, cups, cup-lids, straws, etc. are an absolute no-go—which means boycutting starbucks and similar if necessary)

Starbucks gets a lot of flack, from a lot of directions, but it's worth noting that companies go that could contribute a lot to this problem, they do a lot to promote better usage patterns. For example, you can bring your own cup to get filled at Starbucks, instead of using one of their cups (which uses recycled content).[1]

> And even more importantly, getting others to do the same.

And that's the reason I'm commenting. Really, I could care less whether people go to Starbucks. I'm there once a month or two (but I do gets treats for the kids there about once a week). But if we are supposed to be willing to change our behavior to make a difference, we should definitely be willing to look into whether a company is trying to do something good for the environment before denigrating them as a problem with regard to the environment.

If a company is taking steps in the right direction, we should call that out as a positive example, to encourage them to do more and others to follow in their example. Ignoring their positive actions, or worse, using them as a negative example, will not encourage positive behavior on their part.

Some of the original Palm devices. I had a Palm IV or V and later a Palm Zire. Bought the former from Malaysia and the latter on a trip to the US. Both were great devices, considering both hardware and software. Instant booting back into the app you were last using after a shutdown, good bundled set of productivity / PIM apps, many third-party apps (I even tried Pippy, a port of Python for my Palm IV/V, but while it worked some, sadly, it crashed a lot), great-looking bright colorful screen (in the case of the Zire; the IV/V was black and white), light weight, the Graffiti handwriting recognition system, etc. One not so good thing was that net connectivity was via separate add-ons like small modems. This was before wireless Internet access became ubiquitous. Unfortunately, as often happens, later changes of biz and tech direction led to changes in products and to the company later closing or being sold, don't remember which. There was also a similar product company started later, called Handspring, IIRC by one or more of the founders of Palm. They too may have had a good product, one might have been called the Treo. Didn't get to try it. Lost track of what happened in that product field after that. Later there was Palm OS, which I think HP bought and then sold off, the usual corporate buy-keep-sell sort of story that happens a lot.
Yeah, you have a good point. When/while you exercise fructose can be more easily converted to glucose, to be used right away by the body (faster than glucose alone). That's what's meant by, "a higher metabolism"

Under rest, 30% of fructose is converted to fat by the liver.

This is silly. It's a much better experience to use the Google suite of apps on Android than the random shit browsers/email clients/music players/etc... that Samsung, LG and others put on their phones. At the end of the day, Android is open source and anyone is welcome to fork (Amazon)/not use Google apps (Chinese manufacturers in China), this is just handing Apple a massive advantage for being a closed ecosystem and a huge loss for consumers and OEMs.
As OSI hasn't yet reviewed the license, perhaps it would have been better for the OSI VP to explain that "MongoDB may not meet the OSI definition of Open Source" than to announce (in CAPITALS, no less) that "MongoDB...IS NOT OPEN SOURCE".

I think you may be confusing Western society with the US. It's not a tenet, fundamental or otherwise, of many Western societies.

Google Sketchup Pro 2019 Crack and License Key Full Version [Latest]
It may be worth considering that Apple’s first take on the Xerox ideas was the Lisa, not exactly a big sales success. It took two rounds of refining the PARC ideas (Lisa, then Mac) to come to a somewhat-viable product. The Mac was still very expensive and didn’t sell that well for years.

Xerox could have tried to productize the Star for the mass market but it doesn’t seem like a wild claim to say they would have failed and we’d still have waited for the Amiga.

Actually, their overall market share wasn't particularly considered. They were fined for abusing their dominance in the market for app stores that are available on Android, and their dominance in the market for licensable smart mobile operating systems. Both of these categorically exclude Apple as competition.
I want to add that they moved a lot of stuff from the open source Android into the closed source Google play, so many apps depend on Google play.
so not only you need a third party "store" you need to re implement the APIs that the apps depend.1
> The consumers have spoken - they want iOS or Google's Android.

Consumers haven't said shit, nobody asks them. All the general population cares about is that they can buy a phone that can handle calls, texts, and apps for popular services.

I miss Windows phone, even though I also hated it. Microsoft had a decent UX paradigm for touch devices, way better than Google and Apple had. But you can't just "lean-startup" yourself into this market using your own brand. They should've waited a year longer, should've used that time to polish the OS instead of releasing a barely-functional version. We could've had a decent competitor with a refreshing mobile experience.

> can only have one train on a track

If desired, you could solve this by having a piston that can open up. Stick a butterfly valve[1] in the middle of it.

It might even be a significant advantage! A limiting factor of railway throughput is minimum headway[2]. You can't have trains crashing into each other, and trains are bad at stopping, so you need lots and lots of space between them. But if two trains are on the same tube together, they are naturally going to maintain a fixed distance between them.

Unfortunately, it's a bit tricky to take advantage of that because when they're close together, if you stop one, you have to stop them all. Also they all have to travel at the same speed, which is annoying if one needs to slow down for a turn.

I suspect the difference is that Google Docs and MS Office don't integrate seamlessly into your front-end product and provide your users with a collaborative editing experience. They would have to know they're using Docs or Office (and if necessary, acquire their own account and maintain their own license in good standing, whatever that entails. Either way, the users' data is ultimately to whatever extent locked up in that solution, and not in your product.)

It makes sense to me, that you can use their flagship editor product and advertise for CKeditor, as long as you're publishing your work under the same copyleft license so they don't need to feel like you've taken advantage of them for a commercial endeavor.

Under a GPL license, nothing is preventing you from charging your users, but also it is probably generally expected that nothing is preventing the users from borrowing your source code, then standing up their own instance of the tool and maintaining it in-house, either.

In this way, it makes sense. You can either pay CKeditor for their work when you integrate it ... or, for no money, you can commit to not use the editor to hold your users and their data hostage.

(I'm over-dramatizing a bit, but also not. People regularly talk about freeing themselves from their Google Mail hostage situations, especially on HN.)

Maybe $29/mo is a lot for 25 monthly active users when you're operating a business at web scale, but it's really not a lot of money for a company with 25 employees who has maybe built their own bespoke in-house collaborative solution, and managed to do it using CKeditor instead of rolling their own editor or cobbling one together from other free components. I don't know if that's the target market, but that's certainly the base case, if your start-up company is "dogfooding" its own solutions.

If your users are not worth $1/mo + your other overhead costs, then maybe they don't need to get real-time collaborative editing? (Or maybe it doesn't need to come from your solution...)

XMPP is a protocol meant for building chat services; some of these others are chat services themselves so eg. it doesn't make sense to say that XMPP is not e2e by default (of course it's not, it's a protocol which may or may not be used to build an e2e encrypted chat service). Maybe that should be changed to "Jabber" which is what a lot of people call the public, federated network of servers built on XMPP these days? (The term has all sorts of other historical baggage and some people use XMPP/Jabber as synonyms, but mostly I think people use Jabber to refer to the public network these days and XMPP to the protocol, rather like email and SMTP).
This UI is beautiful. I hope GitLab looks into implementing something similar. Their CI is already so powerful, it would be great to be able to have a UI to build pipelines.
E.g. by comparing them in person? Ricochet can do that. The "Ricochet ID" is just a hash of the public key, so if you meet up in person and verify that you have added the correct ID for your counterparty, that sounds like you've verified the public keys, no?
"Whataboutism" is a nice, albeit lazy, refrain in some discussions. But the EU uses common law. Common law is based on legal precedent, in other words, "whataboutism".

yes, exactly. Its an offensive term to say the least. Scientist are the ultimate "creatives" as they create fundamental things that all other fields depend on.

GPL 2+ just means you can redistribute the code under any version of the GPL from 2 or following. Your choice. At the moment there are only GPL 2 and GPL 3 but if there's ever a GPL 4 etc. those would be acceptable too.

Practically speaking, it also means that if you want to contribute code back to this code base, you would have to license your code in the same way, allowing redistribution under all GPL versions 2 and up.
The play store is not the same thing as the Android operating system.
Nobody is forcing you to sell Andtoid devices either.

If you do, you want to have access to the Google ecosystem. You will fail without PlayStore access. See Amazon phones.
This doesn't change the end result too much in the traditional Android ecosystem because nothing changes on the engineering side of things. You still need a system level play services blob to run most common android apps. And this doesn't change that. However, what's interesting is that if the non-compete exclusivity clause has been overruled, someone like Samsung can launch phones with their play services equivalent, or someone like Amazon or Microsoft can get more manufacturers to build phones with their play services equivalent. Any of these should theoretically reduce the reliance on play services.
Because more and more apps depend on Google play, It is like you can buy and install windows on your machine, MS does not force you to install vc++,directx or .NET but most of the apps will depend on this so you are kinda forced to install those.
