DOJ and over a dozen states (plus puerto rico!) filed a 173 page complaint for United States v. Google LLC with over a hundred pages of evidence of mass scale violation of basically every antitrust law on the books, including proof of a secret and extremely illegal advertising bidding agreement between Google and Facebook and proof that AMP exists solely to give Google control over content on the internet. plaintiffs made 96 requests of the court, most of which start with "order Google to" full document with only a few redactions for privacy reasons: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.564903/gov.uscourts.nysd.564903.152.0_1.pdf "don't be evil"

kitten emergency posted:if google got ma bell’ed would alphabet just instantly collapse? yeah but you won’t see the real poo poo unless the DOJ puts in the proper amount of effort needed to ensure that Google becomes a dozen different companies with completely distinct and separated staffs, executives, financials, assets, infrastructure, and shares. right now each subsidiary of alphabet that does Google stuff is all just GOOG and they all share an org iirc. forcibly break them up properly and now there’s a mad scramble for resources that’d break goog’s absurdly widespread net into pieces killing google for real isn’t an option in a modern hyper connected capitalist society so I’m expecting the most bizarre non-resolution to this

infernal machines posted:what if instead of federation you used blockchain for identity management? you know I consider myself a fairly competent (lol) programmer but I don't even know where to begin on cranking out a conceptual prototype for anything blockchain do people just do like `npm install libblockchain` and bolt on their awful ideas or something? I'm assuming this isn't the kind of thing every idiot attempts to reimplement and instead just borrows etherium's implementation from one of the various garbo modern programming framework package managers or whatever

shoeberto posted:Have you ever had to switch servers? Like going through the freenode/libera split. as someone who helped move a channel in the freenode/libera split it was pretty painless, everyone moved over in the first 48 hours and after that the new freenode owner got all pissy about the exodus and started loving with the chanserv database to take ownership of any channel that mentioned libera in its topic so that sealed the deal for anyone who didn't move over early on the most annoying part was getting a hold of the lowtaxian absentee site owner who runs a site our channel is vaguely affiliated with so he could switch the IRC link in the header

a gamma ray laser would be fascinating from a functional point of view because throwing thousands of joules of gamma rays is kill whoever it hits dead of radiation poisoning about as fast as thousands of joules of gamma ray laser pulses will

Shame Boy posted:pretty sure you're thinking of the x-ray lasers they were going to use as part of SDI. we did in fact test those cuz it's not like ronnie had any reservations about nuclear testing, they just didn't fuckin' work lol there's a paper from the late 70s on the construction of bomb-pumped grasers but the conclusion is "there's no point in building one because the output efficiency is garbage and despite it being a much smaller lasing device than an x-ray laser you still need to strap it to a nuclear loving bomb" so none were ever built
