Yeah I know, I guess they don't want to do that because it doesn't involve somehow having their cake and eating it too. The Artificial Kid posted:Isn't it a bit more like your business is news and the yellow pages starts reprinting all your news articles in the yellow pages? How is Google doing anything like "reprinting" articles? It shows you about a dozen words from the article doesn't it?

Buttcoin purse posted:Yeah I know, I guess they don't want to do that because it doesn't involve somehow having their cake and eating it too. Many years ago I was paid to wake up early and write summaries of business news articles from the local papers, to be circulated to law and finance firms as a quick digest of the news. Usually the summary didn’t contain much more information than the first one to two sentences of the article. What google gets by presenting the headlines and opening words of all these news articles is content that people used to be willing to pay money for. Instead they now pay in viewer eyeball focus, some of which google gets at the expense of the companies paying to produce the original articles, because people often don’t need to click through to an article to get the gist of it. I don’t know enough about the details of how much google makes from this, how much the media companies are losing (if anything), or exactly how the new rules will affect those parameters. But simply on the face of it I’m not immediately convinced that google shouldn’t have to pay some kind of split for the right to publish this “undigested digest” of the news.

Worth noting that Google has already made deals in other countries, most recently France: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/01/google-agrees-to-pay-french-news-sites-to-send-them-traffic/.

If Google hits the nuclear button and shuts down Google Search, Youtube. Maps and the Android Playstore, I expect we'll have a successful insurrection in Parliament within 2 hours. It would be under 1 hour, but it will take time for everyone in the country to work out how to find Parliament without googling it.

I would willingly vote out my federal and state members if Google threatened to withdraw their services because the government were being fuckwits. News sites can put robots on their pages and tell google to gently caress off, but they don't because whilst they still lose views to lazy assholes reading headlines and nothing else, they gain enough click throughs to keep them floating. Modern news services need to survive via subscriptions, and I think all the viable ones have realised this and are pushing for it heavily. The government getting involved at this point and regulating something that should not be an issue is dumb. They have always had the ability to opt out of google, pushing the government to make google pay to use their services is dumb.

As I posited earlier: Pile Of Garbage posted:So the reason why Morrison is so gung-ho about this is because of Murdoch yeah? I've zero proof to back that up beyond a history of the federal Liberal party being beholden to Newscorp to an absurd degree. I really feel like this boils down to the aggrieved news outlets being greedy and taking advantage of a political situation which could get them the lions share (All the clicks, billions of clicks, clicks on clicks on clicks!!!)

Considering that initial versions of the rule specifically excluded SBS and ABC it's hard not to make reasonable assumptions there.

I'm not sure if that would include Maps but the Store and Youtube would most likely exist. I actually want to see them do it too. Mostly because it would flip the finger at Murdoch, and people would find out other search engines exist.

The Peccadillo posted:CFS said they expect the Adelaide Hills to be on fire for four to five days, but, y'know, not super predictable stuff The fire that got near enough to my house to result in a n emergency text from the CFS is out, the main fire in Scott Creek is just patchy small burns now thanks to rain and no wind overnight and today. e: Time Message Issued: 22:53 Date Message Issued: 25/01/2021 Origin / Name: CHERRY GARDENS Incident Update ISSUED FOR CHERRY GARDENS This fire has now been contained with no current warning messages active. More than 400 firefighters have been working during today to contain the fire burning in the Adelaide Hills. More than 2700 hectares of scrub and grasslands has been burnt. Due to the high rainfall, parts of the fireground are now unsafe and firefighting activities has reduced. A number of strike teams have been stood down, with skeleton crews to remain on overnight to monitor the fireground and respond to any flare up or incidents. We'll have volunteers on call over night in case the situation changes and then back on tomorrow to mop up and black out the fireground, crews will remain on scene for several days. Tiered road closures remain within the fireground to assist in keeping the community safe. At this stage Mount Bold Road is closed to all traffic as a Tier 1 Road Closure. Silver Lake Road/Strathalbyn Road Mylor, Red Hill Road/Longwood Road Longwood, Scott Creek Road/Woolcock Road Longwood, Lamont/Crossing Road, and Cherry Gardens Road/Dorset Vale Road Cherry Gardens are Tier 3 with access to local traffic only. These road closures will continue to be monitored and reviewed. For safety reasons, residents are asked not to enter areas with Tier 1 road closures in place. A current list of road closures can be found at traffic.sa.gov.au. The Rapid Damage Assessment team has been undertaking assessments today to determine the level of impact. It has now been confirmed that 2 homes have been destroyed in the fire, 17 outbuildings, 2 vehicles and 2 further outbuildings have been partially damaged. Efforts by firefighters have seen 60 homes saved during the firefight. DEW is coordinating support for the protection of endangered species of Flora and Fauna within the conservation parks and reserves including species of orchid, southern brown bandicoot and chestnut rumped heath wren. When returning to your property residents need to be aware of safety hazards associated with fire affected areas and ensure areas impacted are assessed by a relevant licensed trade person.

The Arse posted:The new social justice movement is different to the old one. The civil rights movement and the campaign for legal equality for homosexuals began on the streets. The new transgender movement, on the other hand, began in the cultural studies departments of universities and is founded on Theory, with an upper-case T.

For those of you not wanting to celebrate Invasion Day today, instead try celebrating Indian Republic Day! A country that became a Republic, AND gets to play in the Commonwealth games. Thus negating the only decent argument for remaining beholden to Good Queen Lizzie.

I think there's only like 15 or 16 of us left who are still Commonwealth "realms." Wasn't there something a while ago where they wanted to change the law so that the throne could go to an eldest daughter but every realm had to agree and in Australia that meant all the attorney generals had to agree and SA or somebody was holding up the process? That was pretty funny
