It doesn't make sense to punish people more for each offense just because they got together in a bigger group that does more things.

- gpm 6y agoI think it is quite unlikely that the Gmail team had anything to do with the search teams decision here. Certainly I wouldn't expect them to be well enough informed about the legalities and the details of the case to be colluding.
- fmajid 6y agoActually it does. Finland calculates fines, e.g. speeding tickets, as a function of your income, otherwise the rich will treat them as a simple nuisance.
- gpm 6y agoThis is why I measure in person months and not dollars. You fine the speeder a fraction of their income (person months), not a fraction of their entire support networks income (months). Doing the latter would tend to discourage people from forming large support networks (large companies).
