Stadia can have $0 in additional hardware costs (assuming you already have a computer that runs Chrome).

The fact that you already own the games on other platforms doesn't necessarily apply to potential Stadia users.

Plus, you're comparing Stadia's release price to GeForce Now's beta price. Not really a fair comparison
Then buy a Mac mini. I have about a dozen of them they're great.
Yea I would like it if the author offered a one-time purchase for the app without sync functionality at say $60.

I mean if you are having trouble with server space for hosting text files, then maybe you shouldn't be building your own cloud storage service.

There are lots of existing sync solutions without server space limitations, and you can still have end-to-end encryption by just saving the encrypted text file to local storage and decrypting it only in memory.
Without including all the games in the subscription price, this feels like a really bad deal.
Ask HN: Negotiation advice for technical partnership
Last year, a friend of mine has approached me for a web app with 4.5k USD for developing and deploying the idea. Knowing I was getting lowballed, I didn't push back as I was temporarily unemployed at that time. The initial timeline was 3 months.

The product had search, geolocation and simple payments integration, discount promos, account types and criteria-based automatic account upgrade and a few other features.

Development stalled after 3 months as I was burned out having to constantly lookup information on new features. My estimation at the time showed that about 60% of the product is yet to be developed. I got paid 1.2K for the work done so far.

Fast forward to this day, my friend approached me again saying he wanted to do a partnership model for this product. I would be solo dev dealing with remaining product development, vps management, training support ops, bug fixes and patches, delegating ui design and he would deal with marketing, operations, strategy, dealing with customers etc.

He offered me 15% initially and accepted to go upto 25% after I put up some resistance. I am not putting in any money into the product. Whereas he is putting down money for getting the word out, managing operations, marketing and advertisement, hiring support ops, and meeting and dealing with customers. We are in good terms, but 25% for this product felt a little low.

Apart from product dev, vps management and training support ops team itself is a huge time taking effort, not to mention feature addition once the product takes off eventually, but I am struggling to put in words why even a 35% is justified. Also what if a feature he envisioned doesn't really work and needs a quick(er) overhaul? He did mention that if the product makes good money, then some revision can occur to the accepted percentage.

Is this percentage low? If so, how do I communicate effectively? I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
> Is it possible you are inferring it a certain way because of your bias? For instance, I complain about having kid all the time, but I wouldn't give him up for anything.

Not being happy with parenting doesn't imply wanting to give up your child. It just means that you made a bad decision that you're now stuck with / making the best of.

It could be that I was simply reading into things, but I have been told directly by someone that it had been a bad choice. But as people do, they adapted and moved on, though their life is very different now and I barely recognize them anymore.

I've also known happy parents. It's just silly to say that parenting is automatically a happy event. Nothing in life is going to be enjoyable for every person.
It works surprisingly well but not great for FPS. I can't recommend the shield enough though. The thing is 2 years old still gets constant updates. I have it streaming 4k HDR content off server and it works great.
Note that AirDrop is available on most macOS and iOS devices, so if you’re worried about this at all, make sure to fix it on any device you use in public - not just phones.
I read Hal's posts and he did seem like such an amazing person. I was very sad when I read of his illness and death.
From what I'm aware the Stadia boxes are dedicated units, though elasticity to me is Cloud's bread and butter so I can't imagine why.

My original post agreed with the Pew data. Most people would most likely be happy having children.

I am aware of this bias. My Grandmother in law is blunt about never having wanted children where as lots of people are just complaining due to stress. That is why I give more weight to people who have fully raised children and are no longer stressed out by them. My anecdotal evidence is similar to Pew.

My boss complains all the time but I know he doesn't regret it even thought he looks like he got hit by a train some days.

I prefer to focus on regret rates among childless men with vasectomies who had their operation after the age of 31. I say this because not having children =/= not wanting them at 45. There could be a lack of money, a partner, fertility issue etc that could all lead to this situation.
Agreed, but "I'm annoyed" doesn't help your customers. "Don't worry, I'm restoring from last night's backup" sounds a lot nicer.

Again, your customer doesn't care what your excuse is, just like the dead company's founder doesn't care what DigitalOcean's excuse was. "Our processes failed" translates directly into "I failed".
I wonder if they will use high-end servers with GPUs that can be used for serving stadia gaming users during peak gaming hours, and then for tasks like number crunching and machine learning during off hours?
Rules to Live by as a Developer
> but there is no one to share with

The flip side of this is that when you do actively seek out opportunities to share, you can instantly meet a lot of people in one go if you're the one sharing, instead of a spectator.

It does take effort, but opportunities are out there. I went to a "bring your own art" event in SF a couple weeks ago that was a public event on Facebook. I took a photography work I had made. I took a robot I had built to Maker Faire. For tech projects, email event organizers, meetup organizers and ask if you can present at their next event. For art projects consider sharing a unique or interesting story or journey, not just a single piece of art. If you actually do make something cool or you have a good story, you'll be surprised how easy it is to get a few yeses.

When you are the creator/presenter/speaker, you meet people quickly because it's not awkward for others to approach you and ask questions. It's a lot harder to meet people as a mere participant.

Seeking out events you can present or exhibit at is not that easy for everyone. But since you're in Providence, you should be able to find plenty of events an hour away in Boston.

Also, if you have a hard time finding events but you have a critical mass of a few friends in the area, consider hosting an event. It can be as simple as a potluck, which means you basically have to do no work except maybe make 1 dish yourself and clean up afterwards. Let your friends know it's okay to bring +1 or +2. Many times they will. You'll meet a lot of new people that way too.
It's not actually RSS, it just uses a very similar model of static files shared off websites.
In 10 years, we are going the have the Netflix, Prime and Hulu for games but unlike movies I think most titles will be available on all platforms. Not sure whether Stadia will be a success or not but someone will be the winner in this market and become the next Netflix for games.
He gets a pass on CFCs. Lead, though... the acute toxicity of lead compounds was known at the time. Workers making tetraethyllead were frequently poisoned, often fatally.
One of the biggest shortcomings is it doesn't download bank information reliably. If you're lucky, your main bank supports OFX and the plugins work for you. It doesn't work for me.

I've thought of starting an open source plaid alternative, scraping webpage information, but dealing with sensitive information and the banks changing undocumented interfaces have scared me away.
I'd vote a few times for that!
Anecdotal, of course, but I've found the meetup scene to be terrible in a some places. Most I've seen are inactive, aimed at a specific demographic, or are fronts for scams / MLM's.

I have (and love) Tile Bluetooth locators on my keys and in my wallet. I never loose phone/wallet/keys anymore (or I lose all three simultaneously, in which case I have to log into my laptop or ask my wife to use her Tile app to alarm my phone for me).

And my car starts music over my Bluetooth when I turn on the radio. I can answer calls hands-free by pushing a button on the dash. I don't have to touch my phone at all for these things to happen, just to keep it in my pocket or bag.

Both of these highly useful functions mean that my Bluetooth is on perpetually. Enabling it only when I wanted to use these features would be a major reduction in functionality for me.
Huh, can anyone confirm the 50 year number?

I think powering the earth via nuclear reactors in perpetuity has problems, but what we really need is a power source for the next century or so. Hopefully by then, we'll have more efficient solar panels, or fission, or something else.

What we desperately need is time.
Most methods of flying things through Earth's lower atmosphere should apply well to Venus at 50 km: balloons, planes, helicopters, etc. To gather energy for rotors, maybe we could siphon heat from below to power a generator or other type of converter.

Just playing with ideas. :-)
It's not clear from their recent stories on the topic whether Reason actually would admit to believing in Climate Change.

They certainly don't recommend doing anything crazy, like a Republican backed carbon tax. And they're very sure that oil companies shouldn't be held financially responsible.

But apparently nuclear is the solution to this non-problem?

That kind of suggests to me that they know nuclear isn't the solution.

The Soviet Union always put more attention on Venus, and the US more on Mars. From what I can tell this dates back to before there were actual space programs, so I strongly suspect this has to do with the science fiction in the respective languages.

For example in H.G. Wells 1898 War of the Worlds, the bad guys are from Mars, Edgar Rice Burroghs John Carter series is about Mars, etc. whereas engineer cosmonaut Konstantin Feoktsitov wrote that when he was 10 (~1936) he came to a sad realization. Since going into space was better than everything else, any effort he put into anything other than going into space was wasted effort, BUT by the time he got the Ph.D he would need to contribute to that program men would already be on Venus, so he would never be the first to anything[1]. I don't know Russian language sci-fi well enough to guess what the source for this (or maybe was it Tsiolkovsky? dunno), but that suggests to me that the Soviet interest in Venus wasn't just because the US had a stranglehold on Mars or anything like that, it was because Venus spoke to them in the same way that Mars did to Americans. Any Russian speakers can confirm?

[1]: He ended up as Sergei Korolev's right hand man, and was tasked by the Chief Designer himself with stripping all the safety devices out of the Vostok capsule so that it could hold three men [Vokshod]. When Feoktistov objected, Korolev told him if he did a good job, he'd get to take it into space, and Feoktistov accepted the challenge.
Step towards true DNA editing
Technically speaking, they were quite far ahead of the curve. While VMs were all the rage, they were shipping container-based products (their Sun refugees kept developing Solaris Zones and ZFS in this context). The technical abilities of the Joyent folks were well beyond just about anybody else for a long time.

One could argue they were too early. For several years they had the technology to beat Amazon, until Amazon's massive scale washed over the whole market. The founders did well, so it's not like they "lost", but it's kinda sad to see a technically visionary set of products reach a dead end (one could maybe even view this as the final commercial death of what Sun built).

Also worth noting, their stack is open source in ways that nobody else is, I think. Maybe Google is doing right with Kubernetes, but everybody else is consuming OSS software to build proprietary clouds and giving basically nothing back. Joyent were doing most of the work, and giving most of the tech away.

> tons of cheap regional schools

Where?

I teach at the University of South Carolina, where tuition and fees are over $10K a year. To my knowledge, the same is true of all the other four-year colleges in the state (Clemson, College of Charleston, Lander, USC Upstate, The Citadel etc.)

Not as outrageous as private school tuition, but it's still a very substantial burden, especially when you factor in food and housing as well.

My impression is that this is quite typical for the US. I would be delighted to learn that I am mistaken.
$170 base price is a bit odd. Chromecast Ultra is $60, which means they are selling the controller for $110? For comparison, you can get an Xbox or PS controller for ~$60.
Roger Penrose believes in a model he calls Conformal Cyclic Cosmology. He doesn't believe in Cosmic Inflation, and instead proposes that the accelerating expansion of our present universe forms the inflationary period of the next universe. He gets around the second law of thermodynamics by saying that the difference between the two universes is a redefinition of entropy. The mapping between the two different definitions of entropy makes our maximal entropy state look like a minimal entropy state in the new universe.
I came here to say this.

Why people continue to think you can get everything on the cheap with services like this and not understand you're putting your business at risk by trying to cut corners on hosting and other services is beyond me.

I pay around $20-$25/month for Azure hosting for several e-commerce and mobile app clients I have. I told them up front you don't want to cut corners on this stuff, it will come back to haunt you later.

Sure, you'll save a few bucks year over year, but what happens in an outage? What happens when your clients can't order their stuff and you lose revenue for several days straight? Now the idea of saving a few hundred dollars a year evaporates as thousands of dollars are lost when your service provider takes a dump on you. Suddenly, it's not such a good deal anymore is it?

Although many on HN have probably never heard of her, I would argue Fannie Farmer was just about as famous as a woman could be in her time. Not only was she the Martha Stewart media mogul of the early 1900's but she was one of the early pioneers of modern nutrition science. She was so well respected in the field that she was invited to teach a course at Harvard Medical School decades before women would even be permitted to enroll.

She's also the reason we all have measuring spoons and cups in our kitchens.

Finn looked really cool, but the biggest problem is that it didn't integrate with existing Chase accounts; it was a totally separate financial account. I wasn't about to create another checking account, but a more modern app for an existing account would have been very welcome.

But, at the same time, Chase's main mobile app is one of the better ones among a sea of banks making bad apps, so maybe it wasn't totally necessary.
at least 10 more years

More like 20. Women are safely birthing children well into their 40's nowadays. The old "safe" age limits (generally up to 40) are no longer considered to be relevant.
"A glitch will cause a shared scooter to rocket to 19 mph (30 kph). The impacted scooter is the Segway Ninebot ES4 that is found in the fleets of most shared scooter companies, Bird, VOI, Jump, Lyft, and many more. The top speed from Segway is ~19 mph and for safety reasons the shared scooter companies limit this speed between 10-15 mph (15-25 kph).

Following a series of simple steps (listed in article) will cause the Segway Ninebot ES4 scooter to rapidly accelerate to 19 mph (30 kph). If the throttle is released during this time it'll take a 1 to 2 seconds before the scooter begins to stop accelerating.

This glitch impacts all ES4 scooters used by the shared scooter companies. It's easy to unintentionally activate and dangerous to an unsuspecting or inexperienced scooter rider. Use caution if trying this for yourself."

Industrialized nations mistake comfort and wealth for happiness
I don't think it's as hard as you'd imagine. Gamers are the craziest of early adopters and tech enthusiasts. They'll flock to you if you give them a great product. Unlike other areas (messaging, social media), you don't need the critical mass to have a successful product especially with cross-play becoming more and more common/acceptable. Even if you need the critical mass, it's much easier to get it with a great product in the gaming industry compared to others.

If Google delivers a great product here, they'll for sure have a huge number of users IMO.
This is completely not true. I learned about Turing machines in the '80s, and that was as a kid reading basic programming books from the library. The Turing test has been commonplace in sci-fi for at least that long. The Turing Award has been around since the '60s.

What really gets me is that--as jgrahamc pointed out--you said this same thing two years ago, and were corrected in the same way. Which means you knew this was wrong, and you posted it anyway.

I can't comprehend being so troubled by the existence of historical gay people that you're willing to deliberately lie to discredit them.
Pure speculation, but agriculture or the the equivalent of the industrial revolution might have been enough to create a runaway greenhouse effect. I find it easy to imagine how our civilization could have gone extinct due to fossil fuel use without ever getting anything close to orbital velocity.
GnuCash also has AqBank integration, but I haven't tried it. Actually really hadn't heard of it before seeing it there, is it more common elsewhere?
This is a bit more thought out than perhaps OP applied, several theretical investigations have been done into floating cities on venus and it more or less comes down to building blimps out of gasses like nitrogen and oxygen. Because the venus atmosphere is so dense, this would actually work.
> Stadia can have $0 in additional hardware costs (assuming you already have a computer that runs Chrome).

I think this also applies to Gefore Now.

> The fact that you already own the games on other platforms doesn't necessarily apply to potential Stadia users.

True, but as long as you have a computer you might be better off buying games on steam because you can always play them offline if you want to in the future, even if the service stops existing.

> Plus, you're comparing Stadia's release price to GeForce Now's beta price. Not really a fair comparison

Stadia isn't even available yet. I guess when Stadia is out and GeForce is out of beta it will be possible to do a better comparison?
Technically SPARC is an open standard, and importantly Fujitsu sells their own hardware. OpenBSD has done some pretty cool mitigations on SPARC. What killed SPARC was that there hasn't been entry-level hardware for over 15 years. ARM become popular because of things like the Beagleboard and later Raspberry Pi. Enthusiasts and developers could experiment and familiarize themselves with the ecosystem, building mindshare and expertise.

Sun would have done better to have made SPARC hardware more accessible than to have open sourced Solaris. Hindsight is 20/20, but now that we've reached the limits of single-threaded performance Sun's emphasis on multi-threading and specialized ISA extensions would have made both Solaris and SPARC competitive today.

Getting there would have required cannibalizing their enterprise income, though, and that's difficult if not impossible for any company to do. They made the gamble on Solaris because it was less risky--major enterprises were always going to stick to Sun's Solaris--but low-end SPARC hardware absolutely would have hurt their bottom line.
