this will ensure that no matter how many $ google spends in brussels they will still get hosed

That includes challenges by “disruptive” business models, like those coming out of Silicon Valley. Indeed, the reason politicians like Mr. Gabriel — who has said “we must tame Silicon Valley capitalism”— go after Amazon and Uber is that it is a surefire way to get votes. Even politicians who are normally pro-deregulation, like Mr. Oettinger, know it’s smart to come down hard on tech companies.

If it wants to succeed here, Silicon Valley needs to comply with the particularities of the German and European market. We love technology, but we want it delivered on our terms. In Germany, cowboys should remain in the movies.

Uber simply declared that it would keep operating in Germany, no matter what the courts ruled. Amazon is pushing German publishers to offer their books on its platform at a lower price — ignoring that, in Germany, publishers are legally required to offer their books at the same price everywhere.

imagine a world where some of us gained immortality, and were simultaneously absolved of all social graces and responsibilities. allowed to spend one hundred percent of their time on activities purely for their own self interest.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Up ta somethin'


i replaced the hd in my desktop and didn't reinstall adblock right away. looked at a car manufacturer website and suddenly every single other website i went to was covered with ads for that car. it was really creepy. so adblock + ghostery went back on.

internet advertising is such creepy in your face poo poo that google made all their money on making a slightly less poo poo version of it.
