I said this in another thread about Stadia, the market for Stadia is vanishingly small. The people who have high enough internet speeds that either can't or won't get a "traditional" console or PC is extremely small. Too small to signal to Google that this is worth maintaining (https://killedbygoogle.com/).

For Stadia to survive, Google needs to bring in new "gamers", because existing "gamers" already have their own in-house platforms to play on. OnLive tried streaming games a few years ago (granted, without the Google advertising budget and infrastructure) and it was too unstable to play.

On top of all this, Stadia is going to have to either pony up and pay an existing company to include Stadia players in their online servers (Steam, Epic Games, etc) or silo all the Stadia players together. The first time input lag causes you to lose a fight is the day you cancel your subscription. "Gamers" are not very forgiving.

It's a terrible idea that was built because Google can build it (as stated in article). It may live on with a cult following but I highly doubt it.
Generally a country will only extradite you if the crime alleged is also a crime in that country. Some countries also stipulate that the punishment must not be severely stronger than in the current country.
Why we cannot have two drivers in one truck, who will drive in harmony? Truck is tiny, so it should be easy, right?

As we know, we can have two or more drivers in truck, but only if 1) driving wheel is still single, 2) drivers are swapping each other at regular intervals, 3) they all share the goal, a final destination.

Console hardware is vastly underpowered compared to PCs and yet frequently competes with mid-tier graphics cards in terms of performance and graphics quality.

The reason is that game devs are able to optimize their games specifically for the GPUs in the console hardware. Google is presumably betting that if they get enough market share, devs will start to optimize for _their_ hardware, and reap similar rewards.

Consumption taxes are also regressive in that in the lower your income, the harder those taxes become to pay. I would prefer a tax scheme in which you're ability to pay the tax is proportional to the taxes you owe.
Whistleblowing is a focused revelation of wrongdoing.

Scraping the secret-classified documents of the State Department, handing them over to a foreign organization, and saying "You'll make the best use of this, I trust you" isn't whistleblowing. At best, it's irresponsible; at worst, it's irresponsibility that walks right up to the edge of malicious treason. I'm very glad Manning wasn't convicted of treason, because she got dangerously close to it (apparently, her crimes are treason-equivalent in Canada).
> This shifting reduces corporate income tax revenue by nearly $200 billion, or 10% of global corporate tax receipts.

To put that into perspective, the OECD has $50 trillion in GDP, and raises over $17 trillion in tax revenue. So we are talking about 1.2% of total tax revenue. Even taxing all multinational corporate profits at 50% with no tax havens would only add up to less than 5% of all tax revenue.

I wonder what the agenda is when we spend so much time and political bandwidth talking about rounding errors.

I've been using a magic keyboard for the past few years, and any time I type on the older 2015 MacBook pro's keyboard now, it feels like I'm pressing my fingers into a mushy sponge.

> I realize Stadia currently does not run RDR2 at 4k and 60 FPS. But it will once the hardware and bandwidth landscape catches up.

Cloud computing is an ancient idea. Unisys was huge, before I was born (it destroyed itself just about when I filled my last diaper). Cloud computing has advantages: connectivity, content and interaction, both between players and between content providers, even then. It also has huge disadvantages: MUCH less capacity. Cpu, memory, display, speed, ... all are less on the cloud.

That can be a great trade for a number of applications, especially line of business apps, but I must say I don't see it working well for games.
They do more than that -- the prime contractors are as ridiculous as the government is. It's a sweet deal until it isn't... a black-swan event, usually a fuckup one of the parties means that the reseller is stuck with a bankruptcy-level bag of poo.

As vassals of the big company, they act as a buffer for whatever the goals of the big company are.

When the big co needs to make it's quarterly goals, they'll "ship" a bunch of software to the vassal company (which is at best a piece of paper) to hit their nut. With physical equipment, the same thing happens. Most notoriously, car dealers get stuck with accepting cars they don't want in order to get cars they need. A Ford dealer won't get an extra allocation of $75k F-150 trucks unless they take a load of Ford Focuses. If you get a great deal on a specific printer or something from a reseller, this is why.

On the other side of the transaction, the government sucks in terms of on-time payment. Wall St. doesn't like receivables from the customer, so the bigco will shaft the female-nativeamerican-disabled-veteran owned reseller with a Net-30 payment schedule, and they need to finance that receivable for the Net-180 paying government entity.

The other issue is terms and conditions. The government will demand most-favored nation status for price and impose onerous terms. The subcontractor company accepts that risk, deals with whatever wacky terms need to be dealt with, and enters the contract -- so big company doesn't get sued for fraud when the US Department of Agriculture gets a more expensive price than the Wyoming Department of Health for a product, or when the pallet used to ship a server includes wood sourced from Brazilian hardwood.
Hopefully they give you keys which can be redeemed in another platform like Steam. It’s unfortunate that so many people will have to migrate off of Stadia, but it’s inevitable.

> I've read reviews yesterday and was amazed by the lack of a long term vision from the reviewers.

In my experience you should should never buy a product for what it might be one day and instead only pay for the what you're getting on day one. That way you're never disappointed/always get what you paid for.

For example I recently purchased an Oculus Rift. I waited until enough games released so that I couldn't be disappointed by the experience/value, and I haven't been. Anything else added after this is just value add.

> I want to play Red Dead Redemption 2, the cheapest way to do that as I don't have a console nor an expensive computer is Stadia.

Stadia costs $129 with no games. An XBox One S (Digital) on Black Friday, including a game, costs $200 or $150 with no game (e.g. NewEgg). So while your point is accurate, there isn't as much in "cost" as you'd think, and I'd argue that you get far more value with an XBox One S than a Stadia (even the digital one that cannot play BluRays).
That's the risk of democracy.

While I do agree that this space needs competition, I can't see a scenario in which this can happen. The combined user base of all the facebook apps is a considerable percentage of the world's population. Take out people with no access to internet or living in dictatorship or dictatorship-like regimes and you get probably north of 90% of all internet users. I know people in their 70's and 80's using facebook at this point. And while some countries are more skeptical about it, my country has fully embraced it. To the point where "having a website" is a synonym of "having a facebook page". In reality almost all businesses use facebook exclusively(which is a huge problem for people like me who have blocked all facebook services from my network but that's my problem). The only way a competitor could come into existence at this point the way I see it is a complete collapse of facebook as a company(as in bankruptcy). No one will ditch something that is essential to their existence for something that will only drag them down. Look at G+: IMO as a product the execution was absolutely flawless. Yet it's no more.

This is the sort of product that the Big Tech Companies build because they happen to live in the one place on earth where it will work.

There is evidently a small area centered around the San Francisco Bay Area where internet connectivity is ubiquitous and perfect. You get unlimited 5G coverage with 2ms ping times and hundred gigabit fibre into every habitable structure. And Google, Apple, etc. all have their offices there where they design products that connect to the internet.

There's no reason for an engineer at one of these companies to consider a situation where somebody wouldn't be connected to good internet. Certainly it'll always at least be 4G speed (if the user is in a tunnel or something maybe), but it'll never not exist at all.

So you get things like Apple Music (and Google Play Music and every other streaming service) where you get in the car and it starts playing where it left off in your playlist, then you head off down the road in your little thousand person European village. The song ends when you get to the edge of town, and silence ensues.

Because it didn't occur to the app to buffer the next song.

And not because of bandwidth reasons. Bandwidth is free, remember. Apple will happily charge you 60mb of it to view their homepage, and your device can happily buffer 3mb worth of song (or the next 50 in the playlist) without breaking a sweat.

No, it's because nobody who worked on that product has ever been off of the Apple campus. So it never occurred to them that people might want to listen to music someplace where there was no internet.

So no, I can't imagine trying to stream a video game over the broadband in our house. I don't think there are that many places in the world where you could do so today.
In awk, `"foo" | getline` spawns `foo` and reads the first line from it, or reads the next line from the previous invocation of `foo` if that hasn't been closed yet. You have to explicitly call `close("foo")` to make the next invocation of `"foo" | getline` spawn a new `foo` instead of reading another line from the previous one.

In shell, you'd just move the invocation of `foo` outside the dashboard loop, ie `foo | while :; do if read -r line; then ...; fi; sleep 1; done`

The hard part is not to read from the same command across multiple dashboard iterations. The hard part is detecting that there is nothing more to read from the command without blocking, so that the dashboard can continue rendering if there's no more input. As I wrote in the first post that you responded to, gawk has `PROCINFO["read_timeout"]` to help with this (`getline` will return a specific error that the script can detect and break out of the loop), but FreeBSD's awk does not, which is why I was thinking of investigating whether Perl can do it.

Long term vision is that Stadia exclusive games would permanently disappear as soon as Google or the publisher remove them from the servers. Obvious ownership implications aside, this also makes archiving games impossible and destroys a significant chunk of gaming history.
Always online DRM and moving a portion of game code to the company servers already contributed to this. But unlike DRM that could theoretically be broken, there's nothing that could be done to preserve streaming-only games.

Why shell out for a new 2080TI card when you can just pay another month to Stadia and let them handle all the hardware to run Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4k 60 FPS?

But there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Think of it like the “free” phone you get with a contract. You will look back and realise you have spent more than you would have if you did buy it, and at the end you won’t have the hardware.
You may be on to something. My first feeling on reading "this hypothetical writing machine..." is, "pffft; call me when you have something tangible."

The difference, I think, between a thought experiment and a hypothetical engineering construction is that the former have solid rules. You can argue for or against it without introducing new hypotheses. A Turing Machine is literally impossible because you cannot get unbounded amounts of memory, but the "rules of the game" are given; a word processor in 1963 is (probably) possible, but that is really all you know.

For example, take your quote. How is that different from a stack of note cards, a technology common in 1963? In that it is different from a stack of note cards, can modern word processors do what he describes ("compile a reordered draft quickly", from a too-complex tangle of thoughts)?
Plus, according to their FAQ [1], "you will need a Stadia Controller and access to Stadia to play". So apparently you have to drop $170 CAD just to get started, and that's in addition to the subscription cost (but it comes with 3 months of subscription).

> Fleeing from the law made Assange seem like a coward, which worked against his cause. There is no better way to seem guilty than to run from a legal process that most people feel is fair, even if you personally think otherwise.

This comment comes up a lot in regards to Snowden too. I'm not a huge fan of Assange, but my feeling is that the people who whistleblow on corrupt governments at great personal risk don't owe you their martyrdom as well. It's very easy to claim that other people should be sacrificial lambs, but typically that argument falls apart once it gets personal -- if the government was attacking people in this forum right now, we wouldn't see so many people arguing that they had a duty to allow themselves to be used as an example of the potential harm.

I believe people like Snowden have the right to try and protect themselves from unjust systems, and fleeing from said systems is a particularly harmless measure with very few problematic knock-on effects.

> "Everyone would avoid taxes if they could, and governments aren’t exactly known for putting capital to efficient use."

Those are different issues, though. Firstly, of course governments should put their tax revenue to good use. When they don't, it's a failure of democracy to hold the government accountable. Of course in a non-democratic country or a severely compromised democracy, it's hard to impossible to hold the government accountable. Either way, the thing to complain about is the way taxes are used or misused, not their existence at all, as governments won't be able to function without them. If you don't want governments or countries at all, then argue for that directly, and I will sympathise. But you don't get any sympathy from me if you want to live in a nice country but don't want to pay any taxes for it.

And secondly, just that everybody would avoid to pay taxes if they could, doesn't mean it's okay for corporations to be able to do so. It merely underscores the inequality between people and corporations.
