    but AI would indicate some notion of sentience

    No, it wouldn't. It has never been the requirement.

    That may very well be true, but there doesn't seem to have been a requirement for the "G".

    This is not a case of free market failure. This is a case of local government putting restrictions on building affordable housing.

    Which is a free market failure, isn't it? Seeing as it, among other things, requires low barriers to entry, which doesn't seem to be satisfied here.

    Why the fuck would the US destroy the EU? To cripple its own economy and make room for Russians? Do you masturbate frequently to such fictional scenarios?

    That's twice as many options, but amount of information is proportional to the logarithm of the number of options.

    That's comparable to the tuning of database performance to provide false results when also performance tested.

    I wasn't under the impression was that the problem was "false results" (???), but rather performance-enhancing code patches in Amazon's fork compared to the vanilla installation. That's no "false results", but rather improved top speed, if I were to use another (flawed) car analogy.

    In that case I'm thoroughly confused how you managed to mentally jump from Amazon databases to VW diesel cars.

  9. Re: Cant innovate, lets tax on France Considers Raising Taxes on Internet Giants (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Why can't the oh-so-smart Europeans build their own tech business to tax, instead of having to rely on US companies?

    Are you suggesting that taxes should discriminate between companies based on their country of origin? What is this, protectionism?

    so how come that in almost 30 years there is no euro search engine, hunh?

    There's been several search engines in my country alone. I seriously doubt that in other EU countries, many of them larger, the situation is very different.

    No discernible advantage, like basically zero configuration, making it suitable for hassle-free embedding into application products?

    Its SMP support is still "being worked on".

    As opposed to all the other software which will never ever change its architecture again? Software that isn't being worked on is software that is dead.

    I thought we were talking about databases, not about VW? Is Aurora, "which is built on top of MySQL", the *same* software ("the same car") as MySQL? Or a modified one?

  21. The boilerplate second stage will be exposed, but another first stage survived even the CRS-7 incident and apparently had to be destroyed using the FTS equipment. Reportedly, SpaceX will attempt to recover the stage after the abort.

  22. Even if came down to the point where you could literally book a flight it'd probably look like "T/R Moon, Tranquility Bay: $10 million. Hotel: SpaceX Plaza, Tranquility Bay: $100k/night." with prices that make seven star hotels look cheap.

    But this would be an INSANE deal for any government or scientific institution, since until now, that same price tag was $16,000,000,000. Would you really be bitching about a 1600-fold (!) decrease in price? So many people's brains (well, true, mostly geologists') would explode just from the thought!

    As to the "just a barren rock" part, the interesting question is whether some kind of avalanche effect would happen or not. True, when Apollo flew to the Moon, it was two guys alone on a barren rock. At one point, it *might* make sense to find and pressurize a lava tube. By that time, you'd be probably going to visit a few thousand people in a moderately comfortable environment, not just jump around in a spacesuit for a few hours.
