Honestly, there's got to be a better solution than full-on streaming. Has anyone seen the demo where there's >2 seconds of input lag? Even with around a 0.1 input lag, what can I play comfortably? Any kind of action games or platformers are out of question. Ironically, those games are the ones which usually demand high processing power. Most other games are toaster-compatible and I can run them without paying(?) Google a streaming premium.

I also like being able to play games when on the bus or the subway, so the whole always-online thing is a bit of a bummer.
Yes, it is using ActivityPub, the same federation protocol as Mastodon.

Pixelfed is fairly new, and probably should get it's minimum viable product working before worrying about supporting more formats. And there's a lot of ActivityPub-based software out there, it makes sense to focus on a specific experience people are looking for.

You host Pixelfed where you want to, or use someone else's Pixelfed server. As long as either you or someone else is paying to host it, it's there.

ActivityPub style federation isn't like IPFS. Data is largely still contained on the server it's posted on, but you can communicate with other servers so that people can be notified, interact, and comment on things posted on other servers. But it's a much more traditional server model than IPFS. When a Mastodon or Pixelfed server goes offline, it's content is gone.
Han system is still alive, just transformed into corporate structures. Samurai does not question, samurai is ready to fall on his sword for the Shogun. Change of direction comes only after transfer of power to the new leader.
Humans evolved to crave sugar for a reason. It's not bad for you. But, as with anything, too much is absolutely bad for you. Fruit has this really great built-in mechanism for stopping you from eating too much: fiber. Added sugar (or removed fiber, in e.g., juice) makes it easy to exceed the healthy amount.
How to Get Your Student Loans Forgiven
I don’t think the issue here is “signal”, so much as it is that the arbitrage is gone.

For a brief, golden period, startups were new and innovative. You could stand out from the crowd by taking some risk and working hard. Early YC reflected this ethos.

Now, “startups” are so common as to trigger cynicism, and merely starting a company no longer offers differentiation. Every angle that can be explored is being explored, usually by multiple scrappy, identically hustling teams of millenials, and to differentiate, you need to take risks that feel increasingly long-shot to stand out (e.g. nuclear fusion! electric planes! revolutionizing drug discovery!) Even the seed-stage “accelerators” are systematized, large-scale success-mining machines for fairly well-developed companies.

Which is not to say that there won’t be successes; there will almost certainly be “unicorns” from 2019, as there have been in just about every year. But the frontier is closed, the game is clear, and it’s the same as it ever was.
You know unionizing isn't something people do lightheartedly. A lot of planning and working goes into it, planning and working done by the folks who want to unionize. The idea that you only get benefits if you don't agitate your boss too much sounds pretty sad.

People don't join unions if they are going to be worse off materially.
I don't mean to sound harsh by asking this question, truly.

What do you suggest at this point?

Dissolving would be an overreaction, but yes, I would expect a reasonable union leadership to say (in particular circumstances meriting it), "These are great benefits that are above market, and no one's getting cited or dismissed without cause, so we're just going to sit back for the time being and keep you all apprised if that changes."
Honda also has a quite substantial graveyard of hydrogen cars/concepts.
>> A union just evens out the bargaining power between you and them.

What if you're better than the majority of "us". I can negotiate a better deal for myself than they can get or justify; now I subsidize the group for "the greater good".

This is not why unions where created. They were to address the monopoly of power when all employees could offer was their labour. This is definitely not the case in the western white-collar labour market.
Collusion is secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy in order to cheat or deceive others.

As with any standardization efforts this is just cooperation, there's nothing secretive, illegal or deceitful about it - they'd just be coming together to standardize on a License to build a sustainable business model that prevents cloud monopolies from using their OSS efforts to compete against them.
With a 5% cut, at their scale, they are likely paying less than 2.5% in processing fees. So they are claiming they can't make a profitable business on a higher cut than all of the other credit processing component companies combined.

They have the potential to make way more than a lifestyle business at scale. The idea that they can't is either disingenuous (i.e. greedy) on their part or complete incompetence.
I believe that people do so little retirement planning that many will never decide to retire, they will be forced to retire because they will becomes unable to work. To me, the biggest benefit of FIRE is actually formalizing my need to retire some day and learning best practices to make decisions that will take care of my future self. Everything else is simply about consciously moving the date at which I am able to stop directly earning income. Higher paying job? That will allow me to move the date up. Second kid? That would require me to move the date back. A new car sooner or retiring two years earlier? Moving to a worse area but retiring five years earlier? Once I started thinking like this I realized that I often chose the option that lead me to be able to retire sooner by saving the money instead. I don't want more or more shinier stuff. I want to remove the powerful financial incentive behind how I spend the vast majority of my time.
> Also, you have to actually buy those games first, so your library is a tiny fraction of what Stadia offers.

What makes you think games would just be included in Stadia?

Competing streaming services here are around $10-20/month without any games included. Origin's game access is $15/month without any game playing hardware included.

So... what will stradia end up being, and at what price? Would you pay $30/month for this? When a PS4/Xbox is only $300-400 in the first place, and has a lifespan of ~5 years?
No, I don't think so - they are not in competition among themselves. They just share a common threat because they chose a similar type of conducting business.
I can no longer edit the parent, but this has been updated. Thanks again!
>All the top apps today come from big companies.

There is likely some causation there but not necessarily in the way you are implying. Some companies GET big because they have a top app that is making a lot of money.
A CEO can be replaced. Management styles can change. Why would a union see a short term boon (good relations with management) as a reason to sacrifice long term goals (best working conditions for their members)?

Also, there's no such thing as a non-adversarial company that would require a union and vice versa. If you're building an employee-owned structure (or similar structure in which all stake holders are able to help sculpt company decisions), you don't need a union. And if you don't have employee ownership, you're not giving your employees a real seat at the table and thus don't represent their best interests.
Or speed and augment existing infrastructure. Spend a billion dollars on feeder light rail to Caltrain. Run twice as many cal trains. Oops, neighbors complain about traffic wait times. Bury five of the crossings. Now you can speed up the cal train. Nice. Now run more trains, connect the stops to the places people actually live and work. Do the same in and around Sacramento and LA. But don’t build a bullet train to nowhere.
There’s so much more good we could have done with billions in transportation funding.

Don't get me wrong - I hate it and wish we were on AWS for a multitude of reasons, but we use Google Cloud at Lumen5 and despite my personal distaste for it, it mostly "just works" most of the time, even if almost zero of the setup is intuitive. Their Kubernetes offering is a stronger sell than AWS's (IMO) which is a big reason we've stuck with it.
> stop eating fish and meat, you can be healthy taking care of your environment and without killing any animal.

Sadly, this is an illusion. All agriculture is based on killing animals and distroying biodiversity, and if scaling to cover all population, would lead us to a world plenty of Fabian Tomasi.

Many vegetarians just take the choice to be blind to the huge problems with soy culture (for example), but those problems are not trivial at all.
> It’s not the users jobs to report the videos.

That depends on how you feel about censorship. Do you think platforms should proactively and unilaterally censor content that has - at the time of submission - not been the subject of user reports or any other external signal? Would you feel that way if it happened to content you were submitting, that you felt was perfectly legitimate? Because if not, then yes, the system does depend to some degree on user reports.
There was no sellers agent, why would that commission be paid? They did pay the buyers agent commission (albeit at a lower rate).
For a page load, why should latency matter once you get below 50 ms? The problem isn’t latency, the problem is that the software stack makes tons of round-trip requests to display some text and images. The modern web makes X11 seem like it was designed by a demoscene coder.
I read this as a fact, or a defense, not a condemnation of the users.

People that lost their house overpaid for real estate that they could not afford. It’s strange that you seem to assume that overburdened debtors are saints while overextended creditors are devils. Both parties made mistakes they should not have made, and both parties suffered rightly as a result.
They have a dozen or more "hero companies" that they advertise.

The big question is are those organic customers or attracted onto the platform for big discounts in order to be adverts?
Exactly! Always be suspicious of calls for unity, many times they only serve to paper over divisions which should be addressed and will continue to exist regardless of whether discussion is silenced.

I liken this to undeveloped understandings of interpersonal relationships. One is given the impression early in life that all disagreements are bad and must be avoided. This can manifest in pathological conflict avoidance, ending in a blowup. Healthy relationships require explicit communication and prompt discussion of problems, which we can safely assume will inevitably occur.

The relationship between you and your employer is not one of family, and if you think of it that way you're setting yourself up for a rude awakening when the layoffs flow.
OMG that sounds bad. US banking industry must be a really complacent oligopoly to not care to introduce easy transfers, and thus give up billions to companies like PayPal (which has no reason for existence in Poland). In Poland, there’s an organization that handles all inter-bank transfers, and all banks use its API. To do a transfer as a customer, you only need to know other person’s bank account number (which is umique in the whole EU). The money is transferred within a couple of hours, or if you pay a little fee, it’s instantenous.
No one wants to live in the middle of Wisconsin.

Urbanization is a global phenomenon. It's happening everywhere - in rich countries and poor. Resisting urbanization is expensive and ultimately a wasted effort. Instead we should be doing what the Japanese are doing and thinking carefully about how to gradually decommission small towns in the most humane way possible for the few people still living there - how do we provide them with medical services and utilities while they're still alive?

And we need to cut the bullshit, implement land reform, and let everyone who wants to live in one of our nice big cities live in one.

If you're like the vast majority of people working here you get paid a shitload of money and other benefits and have your pick of where to work.

Unionized employees often work in fields that aren't quite so rosy.
It's perfectly legal for a business to fire union employees. The US is an at-will country, and businesses are entitled to terminate employees for financial reasons.

Even public sector unions can't prevent terminations for financial reasons, though they negotiated no-fire clauses into their union contracts decades ago.
Whats wrong with inherited wealth? Literally anyone can pass on wealth to their heirs. It takes no brains, and no special access. Just spending less. People shouldn't be taxed more because they have more foresight or impulse control than others. Yes, maybe it doesn't happen in one or two generations - but it can. Also - lots of people have moved up in the world from nothing - and it wasn't "inherited wealth" keeping them down previously. edit: as minikites mentioned below, it is education that wealth can be transferred is what needs to happen.
IANAL, but let's say you write a new open source database connection package. It gets used by some company and due to an obscure bug in the code it deletes all the data in a live production cluster and causes downtime, maybe even loses some data.

I can imagine that a litigious company could potentially try to sue you for the damages that the downtime caused.

Not even soldered, they could came up with some fancy marketing name for slowest SSD drive in their line up (lets call it eSSD) and just drop-in 2.5" SATA SSD for $20 (retail cost of 120GB SSD on Amazon) instead of spinning rust. No need of redesigning chassis, no need of changing any factory procedures, machines, robots etc. Just give a box of SSDs instead of HDDs to the person that is responsible for putting them in. Here, job done, and Apple could "brag" about having SSDs in entry level options. Standard SATA SSD would increase massively performance on those machines.
No exclusive games but they revealed that Doom Eternal will come to the service with 4k, HDR and 60 FPS.
> What an odd point of view. Homicides are down; should we loosen the laws?

Sure, why not? Why does additional overhead added to systems always need to be permanent? It's like installing Norton Anti Virus and then never being able to uninstall it ever again. Sometimes I think it would be okay to say:

"Wow, aviation has been safe for 20 years since 9/11, maybe locked cockpits and increased public awareness are good enough, let's cut out the most onerous parts of the TSA and make our airports more lean and efficient"
Okay so how did the Kroger union help my friend at all? Once again, membership was mandatory for employment, and a cut of each of his minimum-wage paychecks went to it, with him seeing zero benefit in exchange. Is there some hidden benefit both he and I (being his roommate at the time) just weren't seeing? (Trust me, we looked.)
The purpose of ABET accreditation is to ensure that students are prepared to take the fundamentals of engineering exam. Hardly any CS grads take the exam because it doesn't help you get a job. So it's not a big deal that their CS departments aren't accredited.

However, every school you listed is ABET accredited in other engineering disciplines (mechanical, chemical, civil, electrical). So ABET-accreditation is important to some fields.
I'm interested in that also. I don't really see how you can compare public and private education without looking at class and the ability for the private school to select students. At the very least private school students have parents who can and will spend a significant amount of money on their kids education.
Try instead: When the last murder was a few years ago, it's possible we can have fewer cops.
One major benefit is that for any given page in your application, you probably don't need the entire bundle.

This is not really true for SPA's, but I hope that's a trend that will eventually sizzle out again except for specialized cases.

Just grabbing what you need can have significant benefits. I agree with the latency problem though, it would be nice to have a HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 server that has a basic understanding of the JS dependency tree and preemptively push the entire tree.
One of the big problems in the US is that they're organized at the shop level and consituted to represent the interests of their present membership rather than the interests of the workers in the industry more broadly. This leads to some perverse, short-sighted incentives.

For example the IBEW, which organizes electrical workers, decided to come out against the Green New Deal even though most of what the GND does would create tons of new jobs for electrical workers in the fields of solar and wind power, in developing distributed smart grids, and generally overhauling all sorts of infrastructure to come in line with new energy efficiency regulations. But most of the IBEW members are from the incument energy companies rather than part of the new energy companies that would come to life if we kicked off a Green industrial policy. They have no interest in growing the field of electrical workers as a profession, they're focused specifically on protecting the interests of the people currently employed as electrical workers.

This feeds into a lot of criticisms people have about unions preferentially focusing on creating benefits for seniority and incumbency over actually protecting the rights and status of workers more broadly.
As others may have mentioned, it's because the binaries are overwritten. But Ubuntu used to ship a plugin with their builds, xul-ext-ubufox, that would detect this and prompt for restart on upgrade, but for some reason it's disabled now according to the package description:

This package currently ships no functionality, but may be used again in
the future to display a restart notification after upgrading Firefox.

So, it will be very interesting to see what is going to happen. I feel we were not very successful with Playstation Now. It requires a lot of money to even start scaling, you need a powerful (read expensive) machine which can be fully utilized by just 1 AAA game. And for any competitive gaming experience - latency is a big one. If you want to play multiplayer as you going to have latency to Google's machine and then to the game server.

Anyway, I'm not in gaming business any more, so I wish G good luck in disrupting the industry. It is just they were not really that sucsessful in disrupting anything they didn't acquire (read copied and tried to improve), but maybe this time...
> If management are "fair and reasonable", what do they care if there's a union on premises? Everyone just goes about their business.

Do you realize that you have to pay monthly dues to a union? If I were paying union dues and the union didn't serve a purpose (due to fair and reasonable management practices), then I wouldn't want to pay those dues anymore. Everyone just going about their business still involves me paying union dues.
...while continuing to collect a salary for effectively doing nothing. Sounds about right.
The truth is a bit more nuanced than that. Henry Ford did not institute a 40-hour workweek out of the goodness of his heart. In an interview to World's Work magazine in 1926, he said: "Leisure is an indispensable ingredient in a growing consumer market because working people need to have enough free time to find uses for consumer products, including automobiles."

In other words, he understood that a consumer-based economy needs consumers, and consumers need sufficient leisure time to be able to go shopping and buy things.

I was so unlucky that my sister when completely manic for about three months, just by doing LSD once (Not sure if it was something else, sold as LSD).
Yeah... Salvia is not a party drug. Interesting, though. I wrote about my experience on Reddit a while back:

> The video was viewed fewer than 200 times during the live broadcast. No users reported the video during the live broadcast. Including the views during the live broadcast, the video was viewed about 4000 times in total before being removed from Facebook.

How long did it take them to react to that initial report and remove the video? It's notable that they included so many statistics, but left that one out.
That would be awesome. The thing that each of these licenses lacks is recognition. When someone says it's GPL, every developer knows what the tradeoffs are. With Fair Source 25 license? Not so much.
