Yep, I played a couple of the Arkham games on streaming services, the first one way back on OnLive before Sony bought them. It was fine.

I now play games with some friends and while I'm using a local PC, they use Shadow PCs (ie a VM with a GPU in a datacentre vaguely near them) and it's fine.

Maybe it'd be worse on an LTE/5G connection, but my phone is getting 25ms to the nearest Speedtest.net instance right now, which doesn't seem substantially terrible.

I would be much more concerned about the pricing of all of these things, than the technical issues. How many gaming subscription services am I going to need to add to my video subscription services?
I might be biased since I learned to climb before YouTube, but I find it quite difficult to learn or teach others through coaching or watching. Although I don't think that holds for the basics, if someone doesn't know what a drop knee is then a video of one would be helpful.

But past that, so much depends on subtle weight shifts and tailoring moves to ones specific body; it's hard to learn that stuff outside of just trying hard moves yourself and making small adjustments.
I normally find 3 to be an insufficient factor for exams.

I normally choose divide by 10 for exams as I could do divide by 3 for exams from a different professor/class.

I know the material cold, know the test cold, and don't have to worry about hidden traps--so I expect to take less than 1/10th the time of a student.
I lost 35 lbs effortlessly by drinking protein shakes which are about as processed as you can get. We both have fine anecdotes.
Social networks live by the sword of voyeurism and die by the sword of voyeurism. This is not something Google has to worry about.
It doesn't matter so much how accurate it is, as long as it's consistently inaccurate.

I don't care if my scale at home is perfectly accurate. I care about knowing that my weight is going up/down.
>> other people’s right to have a home for less than $2 million?

No one has such a right. If you want to buy a home for under $2 million, there are plenty of these in the East Bay and East San Jose. No shortage at all.
I recently went through a sleep study, and the doctor was openly aggravated by how current trends and devices focus on "deep sleep", when it's actually "light sleep" that we need to regain our mental focus.
> the thought we might literally see the collapse of civilisation is not completely outlandish.

To be honest, as someone that the world has decided is worthless, that thought is the most uplifting thought around.

The original link's site is obnoxious with pop-ups and banners. Here's a better link: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/facebook-busts-israeli-co...
Google has far greater potential for invading an individual's privacy than Facebook does. Google has Android, Chrome, search, maps and gmail (and now photos). Those are all very critical pieces to a person's real world life. Facebook has FB, Instagram and WhatsApp. Yes, some private communication but it's limited to "social networking". Your taxes and utility bills don't get mailed to FB Messenger. You don't search for cancer research on Instagram and Facebook can't tell what other apps are installed on your phone.
If there was viable transportation, maybe Merced and Bakersfield would have a chance to become involved beyond the conversation-fodder of “nowhere” and “nowhere-else”.

I deleted my Facebook profile 2 months ago. Best decision ever, but now I'm just wasting more time on Twitter haha.
I think it's good to get more data out there, positive and negative, so I'll add: I'm using btrfs on a home server (and sometimes desktop) for half a year now and haven't had any issues. It's fast (on nvme ssd), I can play with snapshots. It is admittedly a very lightly-loaded system.

I filled up the root filesystem by accident once, which is supposed to be a very bad situation for btrfs. I was able to ssh in, diagnose stuff, delete the offending files, and then I did a minor rebalance to clean up some of the unnecessary metadata space that got allocated (not essential but I wanted to try it). No big deal and still works fine.

I haven't used any btrfs raid features. I mirror it (via daily rsync) to an ext4 filesystem on another device to guard against filesystem-related bugs and device failure.
an article I stumbled upon today : https://www.timeout.fr/paris/sites-et-monuments/les-meilleur...

Crimes in concrete really irked me in the way the author just assumes that they hold the truth about architectural beauty.
There are engineers who were already working at Facebook when all the negative press started piling up.

Then there are the engineers who went to work for them in spite of that bad press.

Given the revelations that have come to light, that is a distinction worth considering.
Guidelines, Not Solutions
If anything, shouldn't that result in decreasing suicide rates? Either that or treatment is worsening health outcomes. This would be extremely troubling.

I tend to think that depression is both on the rise, and historically under-treated. In fact, it's most likely still under-treated. I'm neutral on the efficacy of treatment.
SO... the only way someone can rent a "house" is to rent a room in one that is currently occupied? There would be not SFR rentals if you limit ownership to 1.
Yes I've noticed that many times people don't feel the need to defend other people's rights because it wouldn't also affect them directly.

Whether or not 'everyone' wants to work there is not hugely material.

They, and others that do the white-boarding, are 'the best'. They have loads of talent, operational efficiency, ship tons of great products with great innovations.

White-boarding done appropriately is an excellent means to develop an understanding of people's aptitudes in a short period of time.

Here is an example of a Google white boarding interview, it's excellent in many ways:

Would you look at that! Looks like the proposed rail is going through your property! You have a week to get the fuck out before the dozers begin clearing.

China is able to do this because they trample rights.
Can you please link to the College Board's list of criteria? In the article I could only find two examples out of 15.
> After killing all of the competition, a monopoly could threaten to drop prices again if anyone else sprung up. That is enough to act as a deterrent, if you want to find out about the economic arguments before or against, research the history of anti-trust.

If we want to introduce tariffs, why not wait until we see China PR actually show monopolistic behavior? My gut reaction is that because the US is such a big customer, China PR will not be able to do that.
Tastes good, cost less, uses substitute ingredients that is higher in calories but less nutrition, in turn it digests faster causing you to eat more. That’s processed foods.
I’ve played a lot of Sekiro on XBox One. I’ve played Bloodborne on PS Now and it works great. They have a free trial you should check it out.
So their plan to solve the housing crises essentially involves trying to keep new people out of the SF Bay area? Keep in mind that this is an area that heavily prides itself on being diverse and inclusive.

People aren't clueless for defending their interests, but they absolutely are being highly deceptive in the way they are going about it. Many even go so far as to try and claim that increasing housing supply will actually increase prices. There was even a ballot initiative to ban market rate housing construction in central San Francisco.
This argument always seemed like a fantasy to me. Cities and neighborhoods change over time. Legally forcing them to stay one way and not letting them adapt to the changing demands of the market seems petty and childish.

When you buy a house, you don't buy the neighborhood.

>I think you will be hard pressed to find individuals who are willing to spend 25% of their adult life commuting too and from work. Certainly, not enough will be willing to satisfy labour requirements.

I don't think this is hard at all: I'm not suggesting that people spend 3 hours commuting each way, plus 8 hours working. I'm suggesting they spend 6 hours commuting (both ways), and 2 hours working, and get paid for 8 hours, and the business hire 4x as many people to get the job done because of this.

I'm sure they can find plenty of people willing to spend much of their workday commuting, and only having to do 2-4 hours of actual work, provided they're paid for it all.

This will, of course, result in much higher prices for local goods and services, but the locals can afford it; they're wealthy landowners, after all.
Any communication platform that is easy to use and easy to reach people on, and will therefore be popular, is great channel of dissemination of fake news. Well, guess what, it is also a great channel for communicating nonfake news, and talking to people that matter to you, and sharing your interests with likeminded people, and...

Blaming the platform for carrying fake news seems disingenuous. Fake news have been spreading over any available channels ever since humans learned to talk and figured out that they can tell lies to each other. Blame people for believing most of anything they're told.
>That said, the unfairness of single family house subsidies will have tremendous impact on the long term suitability of the state

So? Let them crash and burn and serve as an example to the other 49. There will always be some states poorer than others. What's the harm in CA going from the top to the bottom?

The only thing that worries me about CA crashing and burning is that the upper and upper middle class who advocated for the public policy that caused the crash and burn may move to other states and enact the same policy before it becomes obvious that their policy is what caused CA's demise.
Google has your data and uses it for themselves. Facebook has your data and gives it (or leaks it) to anyone with money.
FB's core business model is the root problem. "Working from within" is vain, naive, and futile; only Zuckerberg has the power to change the business model, and we all know thats not happening.
Equality of opportunity over outcome for me. Now Asians will be discriminated against secretly. My family sacrificing vacations and eating out for 12 years (literally ate out 5x max) to afford to live in a good school district shouldn’t penalize us. My dad commuted 4 hours daily instead of moving...I’m getting pushed further and further to the right.
I'm totally fine with apartment buildings going up next door. That was literally the case 2 months ago. I was happy to see more housing stock being added.
No, but it's not just diagnosis. There's a troubling tend towards rising suicide rates. This is especially true among middle aged poor whites.
> imprisonment modestly reduced the probability of violence if comparisons included the effects of incapacitation during imprisonment.

I'd have to read the article to confirm, but at first glance that reads like it might be "Prison damages people so much that that are physically incapable of violence." That's... not exactly a stunning endorsement of the system.
Over 500 comments on Arstechnica about this topic, but can't make it to the front page on HN? Hmmmm .....
I use a Samsung smartwatch that came with my Samsung S9 as a package deal.

The sleep tracker has been useful to me in tracking my quantity/quality and average sleep.

I still get to spend a few weeks a year a few times a year assessing human performance.

Sleep is absolutely critical to human physical, mental, emotional, and social performance.

And as the parent of adolescent children who are technology driven, monitoring their "digital nutrition", mixing in other activities, ensuring they are well fed/hydrated, and compelling good sleep hygiene is absolutely essential to their development as adolescents towards adulthood.

It's quite shocking to observe how common it is for both adults and children to be seen suffering from poor sleep hygiene.
Agreed. I would argue that Facebook is not considered cool as a direct result of all the outrage surrounding it.
You have to completely solve the population explosion issue before anyone who is likely to write about it, will be immortal.

Since that issue seems likely to exist for the next 50 years, I doubt anyone alive today will be immortal, or if they are it'll be maybe limited to zuckerberg - I can't think of anyone else young enough and rich enough to benefit from it.
...yeah those places need work too. Idk what abuses we have at the southern border. People illegally cross and they are detained. This is very typical border policy.
We've been cross-breeding and selecting fruits, grains, vegetables for thousands of years. None resemble what we started with...Vegetables were stingy small things packed with seeds and thin skins.

I can attest. Wild carrots are disturbingly close to sticks. (Also, they are disturbingly close in appearance to some significantly poisonous plants.)
Yeah, it's seen as the platform your parents (or worse, grandparents) use. Pretty much a step above Next Door. Why would you want to work for that over some of the other companies out there?

"Presumably..."

You might done well to have stopped there.

I think broadly, the SATs aim to provide some independent consistent data points a school can use to determine the desirability to admit certain students vs. others.

You're thinking academic aptitude is the only thing the SATs should measure and report, but if schools want more, it's just good business to provide it.

"...surely bumping up the scores..."

You might have misunderstood. It doesn't look like they will be changing SAT scores here but rather providing a separate "adversity score".
At 50-65% accuracy rates it’s pretty useless even for binary decision making (better/worse).
'poorly educated white men' hitting middle age in past years typically lived in a warm bath of feel good US TV BS. In our current era television and social media are very abrasive and aggressive. Matt Taibbi's forthcoming book Hate Inc is very good on this. I wonder whether the corrosive effective of this is an element in the mass depression claimed by the Economist.

Perhaps you can, perhaps you can't. I'm all for helping people not become criminals but until we can do that we have to protect innocent people.
Making a decision that limits the growth of the core product means that you are a negatively impacting revenue... IE, career suicide. This isn't a government (ideally) trying to prevent conflict and unrest, this is just a company making money.
I see nothing wrong with this though. Homeowners can't just leave like the renters can. Of course they're more involved in trying to prevent the place from turning into a dump (never-mind that their actions have the exact opposite effect)
> They are unreasonable concerns because they're not in any way grounded in reality.

This is incorrect. The issues of safety, cost, waste disposal, etc are problems that people have spent enormous time and money trying to solve. The fact that they don't remotely outweigh the downsides of not using nuclear doesn't make them unreasonable or any less real.

Also, renewable energy has been a thing since before the 70s and 80s.

The rest of your post is simply an argument against the anti-nuclear movement. As I've repeatedly said, I agree with the pro-nuclear arguments. That's not the distinction I'm making.
I think they meant in terms of population and, transitively, users of infrastructure.

California (39.5 MM) will likely be “larger” than Texas (28.7 MM) for some time, despite a much lower growth rate.

You've specifically chosen a game that isn't sensitive to lag.

It's like saying "Switching from a car to a bike just isn't an issue - I once rode all the way to my neighbour's house!"

Try playing a multiplayer first person shooter on the same service, you'll find latency is an issue.

By all accounts, the Doom demo that Google gave was plagued with lag.
I thought that I became middle aged when I turned 35.

I refer to myself as middle aged when talking to people (e.g., "I'm middle aged but single"). I have even mentioned getting getting screened for cancer now that I'm middle aged to my doctor and he didn't disagree or say anything.

Are you sure middle age starts at 45?
> On a more technical side game streaming is only really desirable for games that don't run well on commodity hardware (see AAA 3D action titles).

I think it's actually more or less the opposite?

Twitch platformers like Celeste and Cuphead can't afford input lag, as they require very quick and precise movements from players. It so happens that these types of games almost always have low system requirements. Rhythm games and fighting games tend to be similarly lightweight. Street Fighter 5 won't run on a potato, but the hardware required is far from state-of-the-art.

By contrast, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Red Dead Redemption 2 already contain large amounts of input lag when played locally according to Digital Foundry, and consumers don't seem to care much. This isn't to say that adding more latency is a good idea—and I have no idea if the existing latency could be whittled down to compensate for streaming—but it clearly doesn't bother people much.
That’s depressing.
I too was curious of this balance weighting. FB slurps in all of the data that users voluntarily post. Google just learns things through inference about users whereas FB is getting data posted directly by the user. Seems to me that FB is able to be way more invasive.
By that logic we should abandon all minimum wage and employee rights laws. People wouldn't do the jobs unless the pay and conditions were acceptable, so it would resolve itself one way or the other right?

The unfortunate reality is that many people have little to no real choice in where they work or what they make. They live paycheck-to-paycheck and do jobs that do not come with any bargaining power. If they quit there will be 100 applicants to replace them the next day. And as the money continues to localize into major metro areas, the only available jobs are more and more often in those metro areas.

If you work-to-live then you have to have a job, if the only jobs are in the city you have to commute in, and if all the jobs pay $X you have to try to live on $X.
I'm curious to see what the long term implications for this technology are. While game streaming is a big market, I can't imagine it being that big of a market, so it'll be interesting to see what sort of longer term plans they're aiming for.
Not exactly the same thing, but related --

So the San Francisco school district gives priority to certain neighborhoods roughly based these criteria and gentrification has been a problem. Wealthy folks move into historically poor neighborhoods and benefit from lagging statistics in school choice.

>> Anne Zimmerman, a stay-at-home parent and writer, had what others call, sometimes derisively, the “golden ticket.” She and her husband, who works in advertising, moved into their two-bedroom rental in the Potrero Hill neighborhood a decade ago, without realizing their address granted them priority in the school lottery.

>> This year, their daughter, Vera, was offered admission to their first-choice kindergarten, one of the most requested in the city. The school is 37 percent white and 21 percent low-income. Districtwide, 15 percent of students are white and 55 percent are low-income.

Honestly, who cares about 10000 deaths(friends and family aside). Cost of doing business. The human race will soon be shedding lives by the billions as we collapse.
From what I hear, PUBG just has poor code, so let's leave it out of the discussion and compare well-made games.

Of course, there is an upper limit on how much latency CSP and lag compensation can compensate for, and this varies by game. One game might work well up to 100ms, while another might work well up to 50ms.

> I realize that this might make it more difficult for people in Australia (or whereever) to find a game but it seems even more wrong to make the experience bad for everyone all the time. And at least when they do find a game it will be a great experience instead of terrible.

Here you're failing to account for an even more important factor: ability. Locking matches to such low relative pings would greatly restrict the number of players who were eligible to play together. That would greatly increase the skill gap between players, leading to a much worse experience.

Consider, e.g. Overwatch, which has all the Overwatch League pros on the west coast, leading to a skill gap between top players on the east and west coasts (which are usually matchmade within their own region). The more you compartmentalize players, the less likely that good players are going to be able to play with other good players, and vice versa, leading to a frustrating experience for everyone. (Not that Overwatch has good matchmaking in general. It's pretty bad, IME.)

Issues like getting hit after getting behind cover is frustrating, but it's going to happen sometimes--it's the nature of online games. But nothing is more frustrating than having teammates who aren't on the same level, or who don't have the same goals. It really makes the game feel like a complete waste of time. Matchmaking is definitely a harder and more serious problem than network latency now.
He said you ought to import a person like you would import an orange and specifically said it would be ok to pay them a substandard wage as it would still be a good deal to them so they could send money home for their family.

One doesn't acquire the services of mexican's to pick your fruit merely because they work hard. You do so because they will work hard for less.

Literally the only reason to bring in someone from out of country which is implicitly a larger effort is because you have implicit leverage over that person and can use that leverage to extract more work for less money.

Further the broader context was meeting budgetary constraints.

In brief he said that in order to save money you ought to bring someone in from out of country so that you can use your leverage over them to get more work for less money while ignoring your fellow Americans looking for work because they expect things like benefits and fair pay which cost money.
The SAT is (well, was) supposed to predict academic success at a college/university. The idea being that an institution could admit students who would likely graduate, as opposed to students who did not.

It's heading away from that.
About two-thirds of the population in NYC rent[0]. Renters in New York are a powerful contingent because they're the majority. Compare that with 45% in the Bay Area as of 2010[1].
