As opposed to paying $60/yr for PS Plus + $60/game for PS4 or next gen PS5?

The basic version is also free, which is something Sony isn't going to be able to offer me. But with Stadia I can play on my TV, on my desktop, on the go, etc.

I buy most of my games digitally whether or PSN or Steam. If either of those go out of business, I'm pretty much SOL. I don't see Google allowing you to claim your license for local copies as the Stadia hardware is specialized and custom, not something you can emulate easily outside of it's infrastructure, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

From what I know, Chase only offers mortgages to their existing customers who have checking or savings accounts as opposed to the market as a whole.
I can kind of understand people having such a knee-jerk reaction to the original article. The first part reads like someone like Jordan Peterson preaching the return to a family lifestyle according to "Judeo-Christian values" while ignoring all the reasons society changed. I nearly dropped the article there as well. The remaining part got a lot better, though it still feels like only describing problems and leaving the task of imagining solutions up to the reader, with an implied direction.
A web client seems like it would incur hosting and other costs.
You're confusing Google's main services vs GCP and Azure. Stradia will be running on GCP, xCloud will be running on Azure. Azure has more data centers than GCP by a large amount.
Politicians say outrageous things all of the time. The ones that don’t, usually have trouble raising money much less winning elections.
As your edit says, the whole point is for people who don't have computers that can run high end games. Also, once you purchase the game, you can play one any device (phone, laptop, chromecast, etc). It also has all the usual perks that comes with cloud games, such as seemlessly jumping from one device to another, instant launch into the game (no update/download time), etc.

It definitely has its pros and cons, and it all comes down to your specific gaming pattern and situation. If you already have a gaming pc or console, this may not be for you.
Totally understand. As Termius turned from a pet project to our main focus we made security transparency our immediate objective. We are working on the detailed documentation on cryptography, SOC2, and periodic security tests done by 3rd party security professionals.

However, we have addressed the most sensitive part of the product -- the approach we use to store and sync hosts, passwords and keys: https://docs.termius.com/termius-handbook/synchronization#ho.... Syncing of keys/passwords can be turned off when your policy does not allow it to be stored elsewhere. We also support 2FA and Yubikey for authentification.
Hi weaksauce... sorry I must have missed your earlier question.

The account had been live for some time and in that sense had history but because of credits it didn't have payment history. As some others have commented lots of startups use credits to get their business going and depending on your usage they can last you for quite a while. Payment history indicates a willingness and capability to make payments.

Part of the issue here was what triggers the algorithm used when looking at remaining credits, payment history (none), workload deltas (the new spin ups), and effective run rate (think of that as the amount of money they would be charged for the workload they were spinning up). The bug in this case was both simple and super impactful. Raisup did nothing wrong, everything right in fact. We just blew it.

Thanks for the comment on request for download of backups or snapshot. That is a great idea, I guess we just never expected to actually go shoot a real customer and the fraudsters don't ask for their data.
Although in that case, barring any meta-universe to provide a defintion of time beyond time, time must simply be.

Or not be, but I think we can rule that one out.
From the announcement, they still offer
> .... Fully-Managed Private Cloud, Managed Hardware Private Cloud, and On-Premise Private Cloud

If you look into their docs, it's a layer above components such as Docker, VMs, cloud hardware, even Openstack.
We'll still have provenance and trusted organizations which is what we mainly use to verify important and easily faked things like written words, photos, and videos that might be taken from a different context to what their descriptions claim. There are other techniques people have developed to verify things too, like the group recitals that transmitted the old testament orally for multiple generations. You couldn't just edit it and repeat a fake version because the change would have conflicted with the consensus.

Society survived before videos and photos, when all information was easily edited. I think we'll be fine. Maybe we're just in a brief decade or two where we became complacent at believing all videos were real without taking any of the care that we used to take with grainy films of alien autopsies or spoken testimonies of people who claimed to have seen bigfoot.
Google has deep pocket, but has a habit of abandoning projects that aren't immediate successes.
What noble causes do they currently act as force multipliers for?
I agree.

The problem seems to be the word “Universe”. As soon as you assign a word to a thing, it gains boundaries that separate it from nothing and everything else.

My favorite description of origins of things comes from Spencer G. Brown in Laws of Form.

My own short poem about the origin of things:

First there is none, and so just one. Yet none and one are two. Once there’s two, they share a room, hence there now are three. Remembering the two before, the three completes the five, and on the numbers multiply until they are complete.

And a koan:

The student asks the master, please teach me. The master replies, how can I teach you if I have no tongue with which to speak, and no space within which to exist?
Because the sort of actors who would try to forge videos are precisely the sort of actors who would have such advanced technology. The secure enclave on an iphone protects against say someone trying to convert a stolen phone into a stolen identity, not against nation-states.
Banking is ripe for disruption but the powerful banks have built a huge moat to solidify their power. The actions of Goldman, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley etc directly led to the mortgage crisis but the leaders of those banks convinced the government their continued existence was vital to the economic health of the world.

The regulations that the government implemented in response, Dodd Frank and before that Sarbanes Oxley, have actually just made it harder for startups to challenge the status quo. Starting a new bank is so regulated that most financial startups would rather buy an existing one than create a new bank.

The big banks pretend like the regulations are curtailing their behavior while pushing for them behind the scenes because they have teams of compliance people that can understand how to make money no matter what the regulations are. They would be dead and gone if the free market had been allowed to run its course.
They've been in business for at least five years. They also decided to make a lot of noise about their Fortune 500 clients (multiple). If they're not well past "scrambling to succeed" then they failed on the business side as much as they did the technical side.
We use IRC heavily at work. Slack is banned since it's communicating though a 3rd party service. I prefer IRC anyway.
>All these statements, are prejudiced, yes. The reason the 2nd two are seen as bigoted is because of the power dynamic there, and the systems of oppression. "white men are such shitty fucking drivers" is punching up, whereas the other two are punching down. I personally think it's fine to punch up and challenge those in power.

It was said by a pretty (yes, that matters) well educated white woman living in Stockholm. She is probably more privileged than 99% of white men in the world. I would say that the reason that the two others are seen bigoted is because it is people who wants to say bad things about white men who has defined it like that. Because they see themselves as good and racism is not good, i.e. it is not racism.

>IMO, to be racist is to support or erect the systems that continue to oppress people on the basis of race. Prejudice is probably one of the lesser ways racism happens, and even isn't always racist. Slavoj Zizek, for example, often talks about how he and others in the past have bonded by telling "racist" jokes about eachother's race. Maybe that's racist in the prejudice sense, but in the definition I'm using (and is the definition used by people that hate on white people or "whiteness") that wouldn't really be racism.

Are Asian Americans oppressed? Are women in Sweden oppressed? For example in the example of women in Sweden sure they are under-represented in some areas like board of directors and pay but they also don't work as much, they don't die as much at work or otherwise, they don't kill themselves as much, they do better in school, they are not as many homeless women etc.

And will they always be seen as oppressed if it turns out that fewer women wanted to put in the sacrifice at work to reach that far as a board of directors because they are more likely to value other things in life higher? How can you ever know what is oppression or just choice?
I enjoy using GeForce now in the private beta for free, but from what I heard their pricing was going to look something like 25$ a month or something ridiculous like that.

Compared to that, Stadia is free at 1080p, and 10$ at 4k, that's much cheaper. They also have in my experience better latency, and support more devices (any pc/laptop with a browser, chromecast, phone, etc).
Oh yeah, I'm not saying there's zero monetary cost. I'm saying the blocker isn't affordability.
I have stopped investing time in cool/interesting Google consumer products that does not have a legit chance to reach at least 50%+ user penetration a long time ago. They are always doomed.

Dating apps and sites are not required for dating, meeting new people etc.
I disagree.

Linux have 18 millions lines of code in drivers. It can run on almost any chip/architecture. Distributions are fully featured and most of the things you can imagine have first class support.

I do not care how beautiful is architecture of BSD kernel if I cannot run my code on it.
If you as me 'unpleasant sensationalist tabloid' fits nicely in the category of 'tabloid, 'fake news'/propaganda and content farms'.
Aims to. At some point in the future. That does not exist now.
As someone who is single and "kinless," reading this hit pretty hard. I have had a total of probably less than 12 hours of IRL human contact over the past year. I work 100% remotely, so I suppose this isn't surprising. Dating was incredibly frustrating, so I stopped. Moved to a new city, no friends, etc.

Lately I find myself dreaming of the incredibly mundane -- like sitting and having a conversation with a friend, holding hands with made-up humans, etc.
Thanks! Yes, that's a bit annoying to change it again and communicate (and, possibly, confuse users even more). Agree, the search engines suggest Termius as a fix now, so we'll probably leave it as is.
Do you still follow this "never no" rule, or did you come to a point or change in your life to ease up or ease off?
Termius already has file management capabilities through SFTP and Amazon S3(Android only). We will eventually add X11/RDP/VNC, but now we are focused on the command line UX to a remote system.

They can disable your access. All pictures are downloaded. I wish there was a maps feature too.
Don't forget too that:

1. They are also targeting people with no gaming pc / console

2. A big part of the plan is the leverage Youtube to bring people in

3. Most of the infrastructure is already there for the rest of Google, so this isn't too much of an overhead for them

Put all this together, and it doesn't look as crazy as some think it is. #2 is really the crux of the strategy though.
Wow. The.0000000000000000001% telling us life is worthless if you're not the rarest of rares.
The difference is that the article is investigating using a property in the boundary check. The boundary check is evaluated with every iteration. Your example is only using it in the initialization expression which, by definition, is evaluated only once. This holds true for virtually any language with a for construct.

Steam is Valve's only business, if Steam shuts down that mean whole company is in trouble or about to go bankrupt or bought out.

Google can shutdown Stadia because VP changed or Director got promoted to another part of business and nobody is there to sell this product internally - which means it gets shut down.
What puzzles me is where the photon goes when it bumps up the energy of the electron, and what does it look like when the electron shell drops back down. I realize too much "realism" in QM is just a waste of effort, but I keep seeing the field sort of pinching off a photon.
Then again, would a truly ideal search engine recommend the Daily mail as a source for information?

There's a risk of bias though you're definitely right about that.
I agree. This technology will give everyone plausible deniability.
> the actual "accounts" should represent places money can actually go to or did go to

I'm not an accountant but I don't believe this is true. You can use accounts for anything you like. I implement a simple tagging system on top of beancount using accounts like Expenses:Food and it works just fine.
I use it most days - I have a Quassel (https://quassel-irc.org) core set up on my raspberry pi, and connect to it with my phone/laptop. Official support communities for most Linux distros, general chat, and more technically-focused communities are there. It's the only form of 'social network' I use - otherwise I just don't use social networks.
This is what happens when someone with an opinion censors content. The (old) reddit model was far better where small communities are policed by a moderation team and if you don’t like the mods you go somewhere else.

There’s simply too much content on YouTube to police effectively and fairly. It’s time to move to community based decentralized alternatives.
An important difference is that solar panels and battery cells can be replaced in far smaller units on a rolling basis if desired.
E.g., "we'll replace another row of roof shingles this month" vs. "reactor unit 2 will be down (not producing power, but still requiring active management) for two years for refueling".
The biggest difference between Stadia and Inbox, Reader, etc is that people pay for Stadia. That alone seems like comparing apples to oranges.
> share tools (hammers, wrenches, etc) across manufacturing lines used for different drugs

I never would’ve guessed that they use hammers and wrenches to manufacture drugs.
Send your mining robot below. It cools itself with phase change liquids, but also opens high pressure tanks to the 90 bar atmosphere. When you hoist it back, just plug those pressure tanks in to turbines connected to generators. That wouldn't be a huge amount of power, but maybe wildcat prospectors could operate like that in the early days.
It fits in the niche of people who want to play AAA games, can’t afford a dedicated console and TV, and have a consistently fast internet connection.

Sarcasm aside, in the longer term there is probably a business model here where anyone who wants to play a subscription game like World of Warcraft signs up and gets a $100 tablet sent to them for free.

There also might be a model where very high performance rendering combined with ML does stuff where the consumer would otherwise have to pay thousands of dollars for. Not sure that would work in an AR-VR - competitive gaming future.

I saw a demo of Stadia in person a while ago. It was ok, but hardcore, competitive gamers aren’t going to accept the latency gap.
My intuition says that your 2nd point is, at least in part, caused or exacerbated by how city zoning has progressed from the postwar period to modern day, with large swaths of residences going over here, all the stores and business over there, and industrial going on the other side of the river across a large empty field, because who wants to live or work within smelling distance of the meat processing plant? This seems especially bad in newer sections of the city.

I do have some hope this is starting to turn around. In the myriad construction I've seen going up in my local area, especially near the already-established major transit lines, there's been mixed zoning, with shops at the ground level, and apartments or offices up top, as an example.

Though now that I type that out, it sounds like a chicken/egg problem. Until transit lines are in place and established, there's probably going to be less incentive zone things to make transit worth using. And until things are zoned to make transit worth using, there's probably going to be less incentive to build out transit.

I don't have an easy answer here.

Google does. Their SREs are big fans as I understand it.
It (Atlas Shrugged) really seems to be a kind of bible to a certain kind of people. I've been introduced to it working with some young people in the finance sector. One day I picked it up and started reading. It was the first book I ever put down because it was so terribly written. Even though I was interested how this very special view of the world would play out, I couldn't.

I tried to speak about my experience with the people who brought it to my attention only to find out, none of them got as far as I did. Some probably never even touched it at all.
> Triton itself is a very non-trivial install

Actually I'd say the Triton install is not only trivial, but should be a model for other similar systems. During my testing with Intel NUCs, I had a usable system deploying containers in under 20 minutes. Most managed Kubernetes systems cannot even provision in that time frame.

> you just can't run SmartOS on the cloud.

The installer may lead you to the USB and install path, but it is not necessary. I built Vagrant boxes that had SmartOS on a regular disk, and I believe that more recently SmartOS has been running well in GCP. There is no reason it could not run in AWS or Azure, either.

Hmm, so what is the theory of the mutation function? Is it just determined ad-hoc from looking the problem and throwing some standard examples at it?

It seems like you could implement effectively any function with a complicated enough combination of fitness, selection and mutation functions but without a theory of which to use, progress would be a bit hard.
I still use IRC heaps!
I idle on efnet just for old times sake (I hang out in #LiCe and #epic, I still maintain the LiCe IRC Script which was popular back in 1994. Yes, 25 years ago.
I hang out in PfSense, Proxmox and rspamd to offer (and get) assistance with those OpenSource projects.
And a number of the private trackers I use still heavily rely on IRC as a means of communication.

So yea, it's still used. But it's certainly dwindling.
As communities go, I think we in the illumos and SmartOS communities pride ourselves on being helpful, so I'm sorry that that wasn't your experience. Speaking personally, I have always tried to meet applications where they were -- and I believe that this is reflected in our work on KVM and LX and bhyve. That said, documentation can always be improved -- and in particular, the wiki was an infamous mess that was recently replaced by a much better docs site[1].

My apologies again for your experience, and I don't think it's indicative of the community. I would encourage anyone who wants to get involved on the mailing lists or hop into #illumos and/or #smartos on freenode![2]

You can go to the official website of whoever is supposed to have said it, or a trusted news organization who recorded it and see if they publish the same video. Internet commenters will be quick to point out problems like that. In case it was recorded secretly or it's a crime occurring or whatever, then you should never have trusted it anyway because you don't know the context. Taking things out of context is routinely used by the news to fool people already. Stop uncritically believing whatever appears on your screen if you're concerned about what's true.
Sure, but compute isn't free. The fact that you pay for a game once, and you get a dedicated console rendering and streaming the game to you for as long as Stadia exists is not a given. And the game costs just as much as normal retail, so whatever cut they are taking has to account for the cost of computer.
If you live as a renter in California, you are almost certainly not getting "a great deal", and the regulations that benefit you are probably only in the form of being protected from meaningless eviction and substandard living conditions. If you're an owner of property in California, OTOH, you're likely taking advantage of a tax rate that was calculated on your property's value 39 years ago.

That is not the issue. There is a claim that Google manually intervened to DEmote the "bad publication".

Should that be Google's duty? If so, what is Google's responsibility with regard to transparency and accountability?
