Nope. I side with Google. Why should they pay for Agency content brandet as high quality newspaper content? Why only newspapers? This is blackmailing google.

This is using law to grant the lobby of newspapers additional revenue. And blame Google for not abiding.

> Economists are always right. There's always enough of the ideal and the non ideal going on to establish the desired causality, and negligible chance of exact recurrence.

Type 2 chaotic system. Economists never know wtf they are talking about. They are speaking about history. You can not make conclusions from history. The more dense your non-sense, the easier it is to bullshit. You have a pool of economists, you are a rich person or you are a political party that subscribes to certain political myths. From the pool you find the guy that says what you want to hear, they become your champion. The news papers that support you start talking about them. The universities that they grew from receive more funding from you, where you have various schools. You start talking about their theories and how they make perfect sense. You use that to push your political objectives and get policies passed. Things get fucked. Those policies fall out of favour, but not before making millions if not billions for certain people who pushed those. Wait a decade, find a new economist, rinse and repeat.
The western media has portrayed Poland inaccurately for years now. Decades, even. To anyone who has spent time in the country, it is blatantly obvious. As such, if you're going to suggest caution, I suggest it is toward all media organizations. Which is a good attitude to have in general, IMO.
Ah no no that's fine, i didn't mean it. It' just that most people probably saw it as somehow bad news or something to criticize Poles about.

> If the accusation is true then the perpetrator should go to jail. If the accusation is false then the source of this false accusation should pay for this slander.

There's a large difference between "the accusation cannot be proven beyond reasonable doubt" and "false".

I can also accuse someone after the statute of limitations has expired, in which case the accusation may be true while the perpetrator should not go to jail.

Even when Nixon was alive, I could say that Nixon directed criminal activities, even though he shouldn't be jailed because he was pardoned.

> When I say "day in court", what I really mean is due process.

Due process is a legal term. Is it used for ethical principles beyond the law? The linked-to law review article only concerns the legal understanding.

> lynch mob

Ahh, now we get to the point. The author doesn't like it when people protest and incite for social change that the author disagrees with.

(Note: we are not talking about actual lynch mobs here. That's an illegal, extra-judicial murder.)

The problem with that is that "lynch mob" in this way is also an accusation. Why should I be slandered as a member of a lynch mob, without a neutral judge to first verify that I am indeed a member of a lynch mob?

What is the definition of "lynch mob" which would be used for due process?

Presumably, people will eventually have both high and low speed charging station options with faster charging being more expensive.

However, at a fast food restaurant you want to get significant range in 10-30 minutes which a 5kW charging station is not going to provide. I don’t know how fast these are going to be, but adding ~150miles in 15 minutes would these actually useful on long trips.

In Europe over the last few years they changed restaurants so all burgers are made on demand. The only advantage I see is outside of peak times your meal is fresher, and they potentially have less wastage. But as you say it has definately increased wait times.
No, it was a platform for free speech and sharing images, which happened to include discussions between national socialists. It wasn't a "Neo-Nazi" platform any more than YouTube is.

"Elliot Rodger's Retribution" was posted on YouTube. How is this situation distinct from the Isla Vista one? E.g., why should YouTube not be blockaded, other than for reasons of corruption and nepotism?

Why Your Dog Likes Sticking Its Head Out the Car Window
Agreed, but that seems to be a big problem with capitalism. It's rather difficult to reign in. The class gap and wage disparity it's created over time becomes so large it starts to look pretty ridiculous and hard to ignore, so there's naturally going to be lash-back.

No doubt all systems have issues, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be critical of capitalism and gasp maybe try to improve it... without being labeled a "Communist" (in response to saas_sam's dismissive comment). IMO that label's starting to lose some of it's McCarthyism weight anyways...

P.S. It's not just the Bay Area questioning ball's out capitalism.
When one is powerful enough, rules are an advantage. The powerful can now enjoy the well protected benefit of breaking the rules. That's how we can more or less predict who breaks the rules.
On the coworker relationship question, why can't you just answer something like: "Anywhere from cordial professionalism to best friends who do everything together, it depends on who I 'click' with." I mean people are people, I'm happy spending free time with some coworkers, others I'm just ambivalent to, just like in all other parts of life.

This points out how bad that question really is, the interviewer wants you to mind-read how he/she sees wants the relationships at the company to be and answer accordingly.
Can you elaborate on the risk you think they are taking? If they lose their job, well, they spend a little quality time with their money then move on to some other multimillion dollar job. They were a senior executive at one company so they can go be a senior exec at any other company.

If I get fired, I panic as I blow through my savings and take whatever job I can get. I find that scenario to be a lot more of a risk.
It’s not about flaws. It’s about understanding the person in a short interview.

Spot on. And excutives are the 0.1% of the staff. They climbed up to the top levels of responsibility.

Whether they bullshited their way through is another story. But I do see some artists who climbed their way to the top selling charts, with little artistic talent.

Why people buy the bullshit from imposters, whether them be artists or executives, that is an interesting question.
You comment reads a bit like "the workers wanted a raise, now they're on strike and they get less money than previously, achieving the exact opposite of what they wanted to do!" It's technically true of course, but I think they hope that Google will suffer enough from this decision that they'll have to reconsider in the future. Alternatively, they hope that people will still want to get French news and will move to other websites which will accept to give money to the news organizations.

How exactly google will suffer? It seems to me that Google is the party that can afford to walk away and that the French news media cannot.
That's an amusing comparison, but I would compare it more to job or house rental listing sites. Of course the "item" you end up settling on is always going to be an intimately personal decision, but the benchmark would be the number of decent candidates you had the opportunity to consider, and the effort you had to expand during the search.
> They are taking a big risk personally compared to a typical staff member.

Negative effect of a failed CEO: $25M in severance pay [1]. Roughly 10-12 times the lifetime earnings of a college graduate [2]. When the cost of failure is to have enough income to live very comfortable for the rest of their lives, that is not a large cost.

Negative effect on employees: needing to find a new job, move to a new location, start a new social life, and that is all assuming that there is the recommended 3-6 month emergency fund. When 40% of US adults would be underwater from an unexpected $400 bill [3], this adds debt and uncertainty to be able to start up again.

Of course not. But the interview is all we got. You’ll make many mistakes. On both sides, hiring the wrong people and not hiring the right ones. But in my experience case based interviews reduce that number heavily.

Previous discussion on this had a link to the research paper that actually measured said "plummeting" in case of Spain - the decrease in traffic was well under 20%. Just FYI.

>> Generally, being confident gets you breaks, even if you're astonishingly incompetent or just plain manipulative and dishonest.

It gets you breaks until you reach the line which people don't want you to cross (which you will eventually cross due to your ever-inflating ego). At which point everyone you know will silently isolate you and you'll not even be able to realise what happened in time (again, due to your overly-inflated ego).

I had seen that happen. People who are full of shit always have a glass ceiling, since they are even more useless than people who are willing to directly do bad to other people (at least those are more-or-less clear in terms of the direction they take).
Indeed.

I do not understand why Siraj felt the need to delete licenses.

Surely his students did not expect him to generate all the material himself out of thin blue air.

Even someone like Peter Norvig has a github full of other people's notebooks with proper licenses and attribution.

There is nothing wrong with that.
I guess publishers would only be happy if Google paid, meaning publishers bluffed EU, but not Google.

I think EU is happy with the outcome.

And the publishers deserve it.

I also think it is fair that the tech giants starts to pay, and maybe we can find a more reasonable model later.
I think good GPUs are necessary to support external monitors. My thinkpad really struggles to power two external normal DPI monitors. If I had high DPI I don't think it would even be possible. I suspect the gaming laptops with their full powered GPUs, usually Nvidia or AMD, would have no problem powering several high DPI external monitors.
Very impressive. What does it use?
They're just trying to fix Google's mess, like when they have to litigate to collect taxes or when the DOJ litigates to prevent colluding to depress employee wages or when customers litigate to collect their refunds. It's Google forcing new laws and litigation, the EU is much their victim as their employees, customers and users.

None of which had anything to do with Google News and publisher demands.

Instead of capping (which people for whatever reason don't seem to like) why not propose a lower bound for regular employees of 1/100th of the CEO's total compensation?

CEO wants to make $20M? Nobody in the company can make less than $200k. Seems fair to me.

That's not really the question, the news sites will give Google explicit permission to use their content while not granting the same usage rights to any other smaller EU-based search/news-aggregation service.

That's why every single person who knows what they are talking about has warned about this law from the beginning, but they were all ignored. Now this deals incredible damage to the future of EU internet companies and helps established big US corps. Everyone knew that, its just business as usual with the corrupt to the core and incompetent EU.
This is, what I think is, Mattermost's answer to the current debate around the ethics of FAANG (and others) using open source software to make lots of money without substantially contributing back to the OS projects financially or in code. https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/blob/master/...

My understanding is that, Mattermost is okay with others making money from their software if they don't modify it - which will practically work for some, but not all, small companies, and will be very difficult for the big companies to use. If the big companies want to modify and use Mattermost-server for free they are forced to contribute back the changes to the OS project, and then can make as much money as they want. Or use option 2, pay Mattermost a bunch of money for the privilege of not contributing back code to the OS project. In other words FAANG and co can either contribute to Mattermost financially or in code - their pick.
Not a biologist, but there's nothing that novel about 3 sexes as such. Some fungi have thousands of sexes[1] for example. The way I heard it explained is from an evolutionary point of view there is selection pressure towards either 2 or very large numbers of sexes.

Very large numbers of sexes means it's very likely that when 2 individuals meet they can sexually reproduce (whereas if you have only 2 sexes half the time they cannot). Say there are 100 sex types of a species it might well be that 80% of random couples could sexually reproduce together because there are far more compatible combinations.

On the other hand, evolutionary pressure towards 2 sex types comes from specialisation. It's very helpful for the gamete to either be large and full of food for the developing embryo or to be small and fast to win the race to fertilize. Once the process of specialisation starts, the largest "foodie" gamete and smallest "fast" gamete tend to beat out all the others so you end up with 2 sexes one of which produces eggs and the other sperm.

The other Asian countries were quite willing and ready to join with the US in action against China, eg. the TPP, but Trump seemed to have no interest in enlisting allies in this battle.

Imagine how much faster this trade war would be over if all of China's top trading partners were involved rather than just the US.
They already had the ability to opt-out of Google scraping their articles. They already had a choice, just like they did in Germany. And the German news organizations realized views plummeted after they did this (https://searchengineland.com/german-publisher-group-sues-goo...).

This was never about choice, which they've always had, this has always been about both having their cake and eating it to. When French publishers inevitably see their traffic plummet, they will almost certainly sue Google for it.
But those claims are not backed by anything.

Neither "sufficient security guarantees" or how GPS systems fail to meet them is written anywhere.
Not going to comment on the downvote, but based on the responses, it's likely that people don't just disagree with your approach here, but also think you're wrong and that it's ineffective. Let me go into detail regarding that:

> It also helps that I have absolutely nothing to lose and can walk into the room refreshed and cool as a cucumber, while the candidate has a job on the line and has already been hit with at least a couple of really tough and nerve-wracking technical questions. This stacks the deck massively in my favor.

You don't know this. Your candidate doesn't necessarily have a job on the line. They may have several offers in hand, and they may only be screening to get more offers into the mix. They may know that it's a candidate's market right now, but it doesn't mean they don't have good alternatives, and it doesn't mean that you aren't permanently leaving a bad impression on the candidate you're interviewing, one that will follow you even if you don't remain at the company you're at. You're slowly poisoning the pool of candidates in your extended network, and while it may not bite you immediately, there's a fair chance that by the time you see the ramifications of your actions, it will be too late.

In particular, you treating this like a "game" or a "playing field" to be outmaneuvered speaks volumes to the low level of professionalism you place on the interviewing process, and it makes you a real liability to the company. This is the cultural brand that you're communicating to folks being introduced to your company, and it's not a competitive one. In a large company, the relative effect may end up being significantly small and diluted, so much that while negative, it never ends up being a problem for your direct manager. On the other hand, if some kind of feedback loop ever emerges that connects this kind of pattern of behavior to you that your hiring manager looks at, I wouldn't be surprised if you receive a stern conversation and expectation for change. Of the engineers I've managed over the years, this sort of behavior is a huge red flag. It's an unforced error and a huge liability, and this sort of behavior when you think there are no repercussions tells you a lot about someone. This kind of personality is usually the first to go or that I manage out, because it's not great raw material for building the culture and collaboration I want to see.

Well, I simply sync my bookmarks file with Syncthing between PCs, and on my phone I usually only use the browser for quickly looking up random stuff. Email could work too, but I guess I just prefer to have the bookmarks cleanly separated from anything else.

I fully understand your point about JavaScript - I would prefer it if most websites were like this one. But for me, the tradeoff when blocking all scripts isn't quite worth it. A good ad blocker(and notification block) handles the vast majority of annoyances. The only thing I'm still missing is a way to block all videos by default. It would be nice to have that without just getting rid of everything.
BTW, event replaying is coming in 2 weeks with Rudder :) Also, we are developing extensive test suites to check for API depreciations etc. That was one of the reasons we picked JS for our transformations - shipping an update would be easy. Infra outage - sure but you probably have a prod infra to manage anyway so why not one more piece.

No doubt segment is a great product and there will always be folks who want its simplicity. However, at some scale companies should take privacy of their user data seriously.
The so-called free market game is naturally rigged in favor of those who have more access to capital. And this includes capital of restricted intellectual property, however free one thinks restricting that capital is. However, even with the advantage of capital, a rich country like the US can find reasons, such as national security, to go against the rules. Agricultural subsidies and the military industrial complex go against the free market. Furthermore the US has a history of close relationships with countries which are in theory its philosophical opposite (Romania under Ceausescu, Saudi Arabia, and more recently Myanmar). Philosophical conflict is just an intellectually weak way of making a geopolitical conflict seem less cynical.

I agree! I work on a marketing team and it’s interesting to hear the conversations about what is and isn’t decorative. Are brand elements decorative? Generally yes, but on a marketing site, aren’t those half the point? At which point does that make them informative?

It can be frustrating to sit in meetings where people go back and forth about this stuff. But at the end of it all, any meeting where people are constructively discussing accessibility is a win for me.
China today is a lot more free and open than when Nixon went to China in '72 to play them out against the Soviets.

The real issue is that as China continues to grow economically, its military power grows as well and ultimately the US is no longer the dominant military power in the south china sea. Rhetorics about fair trade, democracy, freedom is just that, rhetorics; international politics is about raw power.

Europe has no military interest in the south china sea. And China does not pose a military threat to us. Therefore we are fine with China's continuous growth as it benifits us economically.
> More regulation will make the system more fucked. Less regulation will make the system more fucked.

That’s pretty ridiculous given that it essentially concludes there is no way to create a viable healthcare system, when most other first world countries are not having these problems.

The issue is that the US system insists on clinging to the idea of a “free market solution”, without any of the crucial ingredients for making a free market solution work. The information regarding who pays what for what services is as opaque as any industry out there. People receiving the health care are different from the people paying for the healthcare, and the how the costs trickle between parties is unapparent until after services are rendered, and even then it’s fairly inscrutable. How is a free market supposed to work when people can’t actually shop around and compare prices? On the other hand, you have massive consolidation and monopoly creation occurring in both the hospital administration field, as well as for insurers and PBMs. Barrier of entry is also sky high, so in reality there is little to no competition going on, which is crucial for any free market solution.

The reality is that people need to accept that the functional “free market solutions” simply don’t exist for certain industries, chief among them healthcare.
