This has to be the case of the lifetime to anyone at the DOJ that worked on it. Of course they want to see it to the end. And there's no reason to believe that the approach would be different. Like, who exactly in the new administratio

No, of course not. The article has the timeline. Hearings in April 2025, decision in August 2025. (Followed by years of appeals, I'm sure.)

No. They're not doing those changes because regulators like the DOJ[0] threatened them with anti-trust action if they did. That's the same DOJ that's now asking for Chrome to be divested. [0] https://www.engadget.c

Looks like the Google OAuth authorization flow. Google's policy[0] is that apps should be requesting OAuth authorization using the system browser, not an embedded webview. It's a sensible policy. We don't want to teach user

That seems easily explained by somebody copy-pasting test questions from a website into Gemini as text, and that question having an audio component with a "listen" link.

But again, the article is talking about the 19th century. The 1800s. How are these data points from the latter half of the 20th century relevant?

So just to be clear, are you claiming this as proof of Britain deindustralizing in the 19th century?

The OP claimed that the cause of the decline was a "transition from manufacturing to financial engineering", seemingly oblivious that the article was discussing the 19th century. You seem to be implying that the presence of financ

Of course they had financial institutions. The OP was making a far bigger claim than that: "They transitioned from manufacturing to financial engineering". Sorry, but if there is one claim you can't make about 19th century Br

It's funny that there are two common and opposite narratives in HN comments for EU fines on tech companies. The is to claim that the fines are far too small, and the companies will happily just continue breaking the laws and treat the

Ok, I'll play. Would you like to present said evidence? Remember that your claim was very explicitly about Waymo, so I'd hope the evidence is about them rather than some other company.

I think you're not really understanding what people are telling you: the vehicles do not depend on remote operators to avoid crashing or hurting people. The remote operators do not drive the cars in real time. You do realize that your

Ah, but that's not actually an autonomous driving system. It might be marketed as one, but from a regulatory perspective it is a driver assistance system.

Yes, I was intending to continue at least until Atlantis so that I can check that out with the proper context as well. Thanks for the details on viewing order.

I've watched seasons 1-5 this year. It's basically my first run through, I'd only watched a couple of random episodes back in the day and not been impressed, so there's no nostalgia at play here. It absolutely holds up,

Look, I'm not one to complain about the formatting too much. But this is a animated gif scrolling so fast that I don't think anyone has time to read more than a few words of each tweet.

For Azure, all of it. Microsoft clumps Azure together with their server software (e.g. Windows Server, SQL Server) licensing when reporting the revenue, but give more fine-grained information on growth rates. This is the latter. (We also kn

I don't know that 37Signals counts as a "major enterprise". Their Cloud exodus can't have been more than a few dozen servers, right? Meanwhile AWS is growing at 20%/year, Azure at 33% and GCP at 35%. That doesn&#x27

I don't know... Somebody posting on a message board about the parents of an acquintance of a friend is a lot of steps. I don't think an anecdote that indirect makes the event any more concrete for the reader.

Asking about someone's name is isn't the lie. Bragging to them about how you remembered their name is. And the latter is the scenario in this ad: > 0:16 Bella: Zac! > 0:17 Zac: Oh wow, I didn't think you'd remember

Your entire premise is pretty obviously wrong. Acquisitions are not the main driver for any kind of growth, whether revenue or the code base

How do you know that people don't change their voting intentions much? The only way you could know what people intend to do is by... umm... polling. Anyway, the polls haven't actually been swinging much this year, I don't kno

Whatever that point is, it's not in any case relevant to the case at hand. The EU hasn't actually levied that many fines on Google. I think it's three significant cases total in the lifetime of the company, none this decade
