> The reason you do not understand is simple: there is no logic here. Google is not a monopoly.

Whether Google is a monopoly in the sense relevant in (US) antitrust law is, well, not so easily dismissed. What is relevant isn't the absence of any competition, its market power -- which is usually defined in terms of pricing power (essentially, having some range within which changes in the price at which the firm offers its product in some market will not result in a shift from the firm to competitors.)

And, in any case, EU antitrust law has a less restricted domain than US antitrust law and, AFAIK, while monopoly/market/pricing power is still relevant, is more likely to be violated even before a firm has established market power.

> The parallels drawn here (by EU and by people on HN respectively) are

The EU isn't, AFAICT, "drawing parallels", its directly objecting to specific Google behavior on its own merit, not because it is parallel to Microsoft, Comcast, etc.

> Really this is just EU punishing google for getting too big.

This inflammatory complaint could use some justification.

> Unfortunately for EU, even their own ridiculous (IMHO) protectionist laws do not have anything about a company being to successful for their liking.

What in particular is "protectionist" about the provisions of the law being applied here? AFAICT, the laws at issue are Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union [0][1], which don't seem particularly protectionist.

> I imagine this will be a huge money and time waste for the EU, but in the end they have no real case.

Have you seen the actual Statement of Objections? If not, what is the basis of the conclusion about whether or not they have a real case?

> Google owns google.com and may display whatever it wants there.

Not if they have dominant power in a market and displaying what they want there constitutes an abuse of that position.

> Until someone forces EU citizens to use google, or until bing and yahoo die, they are not a monopoly, even as per EU's ridiculous (IMHO) definition.

Being a monopoly is not required for a violation of either the EU rules on anticompetitive agreements or the EU rules on abuse of a dominant position.

Yes, but the probability measure they construct doesn't give "equal probability" in the sense that Xcelerate probably meant. Going back to the plane example, if we use the unit squares as our sequence A1, A2, ..., we'll get P(A1) = 1/2, P(A2) = 1/4, P(A3) = 1/8, and so on. This sums to 1 as you'd expect, but it's not uniform!

It's interesting to think about a case where Just Read The Instructions (the barge) might cooperate in the landing. Perhaps it could have an XY stage that could help compensate for residual X,Y or X,Y roll rates at touchdown.

Looking at the video, if JRTI could have slewed a platform quickly to the left after contact, it might have been able to return the tilting booster's center of mass to a stable position.

Wait, are you saying that the old manual lever-based espresso machines, didn't make espersso? Wikipedia has this to say: "There are two types of lever machines; manual piston and spring piston design. With the manual piston, the operator directly pushes the water through the grounds. In the spring piston design, the operator works to tension a spring, which then delivers the pressure for the espresso (usually 8 to 10 bar; 116 to 145 psi)."

(I'm not disputing the claim that the Aeropress, for all its niceties, doesn't allow for 9 bars of pressure when used as intended)

Note that the OP desired that "each point has an equal probability of being chosen". The infinite plane being infinite, this requirement does not formally make sense, but a natural way to interpret it is to ask for invariance under isometries (or translation-invariance). As the post that you replied to indicates, this is not possible for the Euclidean plane. The measure constructed by the lemma that you cite does not have this property.

Bit of a crappy test, though - tight loop over a single 8k buffer (used in-place). It probably executes entirely in L1/L2.

They provide details of the hardware they're using: https://openconnect.itp.netflix.com/hardware/

The fanciest in their "IO-optimized" SSD-driven beast is a 2.7GHz 12 core Ivy Bridge. You've got a 20% clock advantage, and Haswell reportedly reduced AES-NI clock latency from 8 to 7 cycles for a ~14% improvement. Doing the math I get 55Gbps for the lot.

That's without doing any packet processing, no waiting on memory accesses, no interrupts, no context switching, just perfect scaling with a tight loop over the same 8k buffer - and they're driving 4 10Gbps NICs. Not much left over.

Didn't they announce this on Hacker News a few weeks ago?

This might work better if you had a database of almost every street name and almost every place name. Then you could take in an address, and classify words as one or more of [StreetName, PlaceName, StreetType, etc.]. Some words can appear in more than one of those categories, which is when a deterministic parser without a full database fails. Then let the learning algorithm deal with ambiguities such as "1 Park Lane", "1 Lane Park", and such. You'd have a better chance of dealing with the hard cases. Expecting this to recognize street words on its own is a reach.

You can get about 95% successful parsing of US business addresses with a relatively simple parser that lacks a name database. (I have one running right now on 20 million addresses.) Then it gets hard. Are they doing better than that?

The commercial parsers with full address databases do much better.

I keep hearing lots of great ideas about how something other than the rocket could help the rocket land (catch it, move the platform, use a net, etc. etc.)

I suggest you to travel the silk road. It's off the beaten tracks and you will see far less tourists and a hospitality which is overwhelming....
Whilst I agree with the concept that motorists are responsible for their own behaviour on the road and should not endanger other travellers, I believe that on a road where the speed limit is 55mph, or realistically any speed, that vehicles using that roadway should be able to maintain a safe and non-obstructive speed on said roadways. If your vehicle cannot maintain such a speed, it shouldnt be on a road with other vehicles.

Having said that, Cyclists in sydney are a menace, running red lights into traffic and pedestrians, crossing through pedestrian crossings and running into people, generally ignoring the rules of the road. If they want equal access, they need to conform to the same rules.

Almost every time I encounter cyclists in traffic, they context switch between vehicle and pedestrian at their convenience.

If you want to be treated as a vehicle, be a vehicle. Don't block a lane between intersections and then ride the divider lines to advance ahead of cars at every intersection so they can wait and merge around you once the light turns.

As a former bike commuter, I really don't understand why bikes are required to ride the roads and behave like cars. They seem far more compatible to ride sidewalks and co-travel with pedestrians.

Yes. That is also the reason they will not try to move the barge in unison with the rocket even if that was possible. Barge is trying to representing land.

The maneuver made by the rocket to land at an angle is intentional. The rocket wasn't trying to correct some unknown balance issue with it. The reason for too fast sideways speed came from the problem with the rockets response time, signal->engine.

The big sideways maneuver is made so the rocket will not hit the barge at high speeds in case of any problems.

> They seem far more compatible to ride sidewalks and co-travel with pedestrians.

I agree. Bikes as road vehicles is a dangerous anachronism. Overtaking bikes is the most unpleasant exercise for me as a driver. Although, given the state of roads vs. the state of sidewalks, I understand why they choose the road.
Lets be honest though. I am a big fan, a convert even. An impressive list, maybe, but when the parent talks innovation, how many of these fit the bill? These don't, to me: photo library, notifications, iMessage and FaceTime, sms relay, remote lock and erase, cellular tethering, 32>64, next signing, all borrowed HEAVILY from competitors.

> They seem far more compatible to ride sidewalks and co-travel with pedestrians.

Pedestrians and bike riders are not compatible either. I am a bike commuter as well. I live in West Germany at the moment, but I have also bike commuted to work in Australia. In general, commuting in Germany is a much safer proposition than in Australia. The German drivers seem to be more aware and tolerance to the bike commuters. The bike riding paths are also very well configured and designed, minimising the risk of accidents.

"Needs"? Why?
I cycle around Seattle quite a bit and my preference is always to ride on the sidewalk. As far as I know, this is legal as long as I yield to pedestrians.

I can ride nearly the same speed as on the road, and stop or slow down at my leisure. It's much more enjoyable. I never find pedestrians to be an issue.

It's always far faster than walking and less stressful than riding in the street.

As a cyclist, I am more than happy to see tech that makes me more visible! Why are people up in arms!!? So stupid.
The thing is, they are neither, really.

Bicycles are not comparable to motor vehicles, as they are much slower (50 km/h vs ~15-20 km/h).

Bicycles are also not comparable to pedestrians, as they are much faster (5 km/h vs ~15-20 km/h).

I think it's a mistake to mix traffic that differs in speed by a factor of 3.

As someone who moved from the Netherlands to London, it has taken me years to adjust to absence of real bicycle lanes. They really do seem like the best answer to me.
Ola, Uber’s Big Rival in India, Raises $400M to Grow to 200 Cities This Year
I've repeated this dozens of times whenever Americans come up with lame excuses for why cycling is dangerous in the US: in the Netherlands cyclists still share the road with cars a lot of the time. The rules however are very simple: as a driver, you're not allowed to hit weaker traffic like cyclists and pedestrians. Period. If it happens, the burden of proof that you could do nothing about it is on you.

Is this insane and unfair? No, it's about the responsibility that comes with driving a big, dangerous hunk of metal amongst unprotected civilians. For a country where most people believe that they can be considered responsible enough to own firearms, that responsibility for something that is potentially equally deadly shouldn't be that big a burden.

The notion that you can legally run down and kill a child on a bicycle just because that child was "wrong" is what's insane.
That's how retail works in general. It's rare for expensive items like consumer electronics to get dumped/recycled if unsold.

Aeropress is made out of polypropylene plastic which has been found to leech quats and oleamide. I have become more and more alarmed at how often coffee is prepared or delivered via plastics that are prone to leach, specially at the higher temperatures of coffee. From plastic drip coffee machines to the lids on coffee cups sold at cafes. Even glass french presses normally have a plastic in the lid. This is one reason why I currently prefer the pour over method.
I agree. We should limit urban street speeds to 15mph so cars are not faster than other road users and stop killing people.
Interesting comments here to this post. I was introduced first to this concept after watching the original ScaleApp architecture talk by Nic. Since then I have built couple of really large front-end applications spanning large teams. The concepts of this and other such frameworks I find greatly simplify development, testing and allow scaling that backbone, ember or such frameworks simply cannot provide. These concepts do require other frameworks for building functionality, but they use those so called frameworks for their toolsets rather than structure.

If you have ran your application through dependo and the resulting graph crashes the browser, you really need to look at this.

> They seem far more compatible to ride sidewalks and co-travel with pedestrians.

I live in Tempe, AZ near ASU - one of the "most bike friendly" cities in the US, and I can't tell you how many times I've been nearly killed by a bike at full speed weaving in and out of pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk - where it's actually illegal for them to ride.

Bikes do not belong on the sidewalk unless they're moving as slow as a pedestrian, which they never are. They're a hazard.

Many years ago I biked daily on 40 mph city streets, so I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about.

Hm. I'll have to acquire and open one of those capsules. I was under the impression that the toxic mess was some kind of freezedried, nasty paste (I certainly haven't tasted a nespresso that tastes like "real" espresso (nor anywhere near what I can get from my aeropress). But if one considers to re-fill the capsules (which would imply you'd need to vacuum seal them in order to keep the fresh-grind taste, or make them just before/soon before having a coffee...) -- sounds like more work than just getting a proper espresso machine.

On the off-chance that you're not trolling... which Nespresso flavours have you found to be "rich and tasty" (by which I take it you mean comparable to freshly-ground beans from a specialist, along the line that a barrista would use)?
