Actually, it will keep absorbing energy from the atmosphere at DECREASING rates. As the delta-T between them diminishes, the rate of heat flow decreases.
Ultimately yes, but right now, the upper layers are still warming faster so the delta T is still increasing.
They achieved dominance because they are the fastest and most comprehensive. That's how they took over the search engine market in the first place. Having the best product usually get's you into market dominance
That's great, and the EU is not having a problem with that at all.
The problem is that they abuse their dominant search engine to try take over other markets (in this particular case, shopping), which is arguably not the best shopping product, but still got ranked higher in the search results.
There's no fixed threshold. The dominance is determined by the court, based on multiple criteria. A 40% market share may be considered dominant, if competitors are all much smaller, the barrier to entry is high, or if the company is an unavoidable trading partner.
In other words you want to bury the good map sites in pages and pages of shit links
No, but that's exactly what Google does. It shows itself at the top of the search results, followed by pages of random links to small maps of local libraries and museums, and then Bing maps way far down on page 11.
But if you do a search for something, they are going to use their resources and provide the map info with their maps.
I'm not talking about searching for the name of a business near me. In that case, it would be perfectly acceptable for them to send me a link to google maps.
But if I want to use google search to find out about other map providers, I'd like to see them show up in a fair way, and not have google pretend it's the only map provider there is.
The temperature effects are not distributed equally across the entire water column. Most of the warming is in the upper ocean, which is most relevant for us, because it's the layer where the energy is quickly transported back to the atmosphere.
The relatively small increase in temperature should make you excited, because it's means that the ocean isn't anywhere near equilibrium, so it will keep absorbing energy from the atmosphere at increasing rates, causing sea level rise through thermal expansion, and come back to us in bursts during the El-Nino season.
I would think that the "shopping" tab would be OK as anyone would expect that this would lead to Google's service, just as they would expect searches revealing a maps tab top go to google maps and not bing maps, open streetmap, or others.
Google has a 'maps' tab at the top of their UI, which is perfectly fine.
However, when you search for "maps" in google search (here in EU on a local server), a link for Bing maps only shows up on result page 11, and openstreetmap or yahoo maps don't show up at all.
Have you tried reading the article ? It explains it right here:
Today's Decision concludes that Google is dominant in general internet search markets throughout the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in all 31 EEA countries. It found Google to have been dominant in general internet search markets in all EEA countries since 2008, except in the Czech Republic where the Decision has established dominance since 2011. This assessment is based on the fact that Google's search engine has held very high market shares in all EEA countries, exceeding 90% in most
So what is a person who takes part in a resistance movement against an oppressive political or social establishment using unlawful threats or violence against the state or the public ?
I think a better plan would be to have fresh produce grown in professional farms, and then brought to the store when it's about ready to sell. You could still put them in a climate controlled display to keep them in optimal condition until they get sold, but that requires a lot less care.
I for one, vote for an elevator ride from the 75th floor that includes a free-fall mode to simulate weightlessness for a few seconds, with careful deceleration. Would be one hell of an attraction to work there.
Especially fun when you bring down a cart full of anvils with you.
Also, if you have permanent magnets on the track, you could make an eddy current brake just by moving a big piece of metal in close proximity. This piece of metal could be spring loaded to automatically return to the braking position when power goes out.
I think a major problem with making cheap satellites is that you need specialized ("space rated") parts, and that vendors of these parts will charge inflated prices, just because they can.
This is a problem that SpaceX had with their attempts to make cheap rockets. Their solution was to develop a lot of things in-house. They also buy parts from other vendors, but they make it clear they want a fair price, otherwise they'll walk away and find another solution.

Apparently, falsification to "hide the decline" isnt fraud.
Exactly why would you argue there was falsification or fraud involved in that case ? Do you even know what "hide the decline" referred to ?
5% is quite a bit. I don't think promoting their shopping service is worth that much.

Who forces anyone to use Google in the first place?
Nobody, but that's not relevant according to the law, which only looks at dominance (over 90% market share), not force.
If I wanted to use Bing, I'd go to Bing.
But if I want to use google search to find out about other map providers, I'd like to see them show up in a fair way, and not have google pretend it's the only map provider there is.
Many people in Europe have less faith in the market's ability to just correct these sorts of things.
And there are plenty of examples in the US, where the markets don't correct. The topic of crappy internet providers is almost a weekly item here.

they don't owe anything to anyone, they are free to show whichever results they want to and deem necessary.
Not according to the law.
How on earth can they abuse their "monopolistic" position if there's none?
They have over 90% market share. That's enough according to the law.
Google is not selling you their search engine
The complaint is that they are using their free search to promote their other businesses over competing businesses.

It's not scorched. It's covered in soot from the engine exhaust.
The simple solution is to use concrete tires on the cars as well.
No-one uses their cellphone while driving in Europe because of the strict laws.
LOL. Every time I'm on the road here, I see at least one driver on their cellphone.
Why dont we remember that law when banning CO2 emissions?
Why didn't we remember that law when starting CO2 emissions ?
Greg Wyler CEO / Founder OneWeb talks about the production of satellites constellation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
He talks about speed and latency starting after ~40 seconds into the clip.
OneWeb claims 30 ms latency, which doesn't sound too bad. My round trip time to slashdot.org is 110 ms, and it's perfectly usable.
