To be frank, I don't want and don't think Google Stadia will go down.

I don't want it to go down because, I'm sure Google will lobby with ISPs to improve their latency and ISPs in many countries have long hidden their pathetic latency behind bandwidth/data numbers.

I don't think it will go down, because once latency issue is fixed there's no debilitating issue with stadia and western reviewers who are bearish about Stadia are forgetting how big mobile gaming is in Asia. Many of those mobile gamers haven't owned a console let alone a computer and Stadia in their cheap android mobile would be first console quality game they experience.
In the source they cite (https://gcemetery.co/), do they consider only products that have died? Or do they track all products that have started? (hopefully they have right censoring, otherwise it seems they're underestimating the average lifespan).

I'm having a hard time finding the data in tabular format.
> They haven't shown anything compelling why this would be a game changer for end users.

I don't get this view. They really did show compelling, game-changing features for the end-user, if you watched their talks and demos. They showed lots of potentially game-changing features for developers too, which impact the products, which impact the users.

Most of it is vaporware at this point though, and what we have in Stadia today is basically an early MVP.
WeWork is trying to grow aggressively, so they probably have a shit-load of sales people.

> Microsoft took the desktop threat seriously and quickly reacted in 1996 with a Java-clone called the J++ language -- which resulted in Sun's lawsuit.

I'm fully aware of the history. I was there and watched it unfold at the time. I also don't think it's terribly relevant; 1995 was a quarter century ago. Sun is dead. I'm just objectively counting the number of Java desktop programs I presently use and wondering if this supposed "failure" on the desktop isn't really just a widespread misconception. The software that I cited isn't riding the coattails of a 24 year old marketing campaign; they thrive of their own merit.
Well I didn't copy and paste the same comment all over, I just posted this link once. The comment I linked was also not higher ranked when I commented, as I commented right around when the original post was made. Every comment in the thread was still getting shuffled around due to upvotes and nothing was stable.

In the future how do you suggest I handle this?
Why not?

Maybe the OS market was profitable for decades, but isn't anymore?

Maybe their goal is to move everything to Linux in the next decade so they don't have to develop their own stuff, getting all that free OSS dev power and can control them by supplying cloud based user-land software, because "Linux never breaks user space"... who knows.

What happens is that, if you lie, the other party now has a platform to advertise on your dime.

Party A: "Party B eats kittens"

Party B: "We're going to lower taxes and fix climate change."

See how it works? Party A pays money into the system, Party B just gets to ignore the silly claim and gets free advertising.

For better or for worse, we named the project after the HODL meme as an ode to the early investors of cryptocurrency.

Out of curiosity, we mined every mention of the comment HODL on Reddit from 2017-2018 and looked at how the average # mentions of HODL were affected by price volatility.

There's an easy product fix for this. Offer every game purchase with the option for a one-time key conversion, ideally managed through the game publisher. In the event of a Stadia shutdown you could easily port your purchase over to another single platform of your choice. This stragegy de-risks the platform and would go a long way toward alleviating consumer fears.

We saw similar strategies around the launch of Steam. Sure you're just buying a download code, but if you send us $5 for postage we'll mail you a physical disc to go with it. Same concept.

It's hard to get a good read on what really happens in China since they don't have a free press and I can only read what has been translated into English. The amazing progress in photovoltaic price:performance ratios makes me hopeful too, and it looks like we are just starting to enter the era of affordable big battery projects to use solar electricity after sunset. Those are great developments.

Unfortunately, China appears to have some historical inertia and perverse incentives to keep mining coal and building/running coal plants even if coal-fired electricity isn't the cheapest any more [1]. The incentives to keep running economically dubious coal plants to maintain employment can be very strong in some provinces, even if that conflicts with national goals for reducing air pollution. Mining coal and running coal plants requires more workers per megawatt hour than solar power. And even if they were equal, it's not like coal miners can painlessly make the transition to working in solar manufacturing or installation.

I have also read about situations where e.g. a province gets revenue for every ton of coal mined, but would not get any revenue for every hour of sunshine collected, so there are localized revenue reasons for provincial authorities to prefer coal.

The end goal for google with this tech isn't stadia, it's something completely new. It's loading and playing a game as easily as you load and watch a youtube video right now.

Stadia's just the beta test to get the hardware running, tested and get developers familiar with the backend platform they need to develop for/port too.

Video games are one of the few really massive and lucrative markets which Google can move into and make a dent on their balance sheets.

So yeah Stadia will probably get canned at some point, but the technology will probably go onto bigger and better things.
I thought there was a "found" category for real opening sentences, but I don't see it now. The Lyttle Lytton awards, linked elsewhere, do have a "found" division which you might enjoy.
That is a good point: the x86 model is "stronger" than acquire-release. Which is probably why it took so long for acquire-release to become beneficial. Any x86 coder who codes in acquire-release will not see any performance benefit on x86, because x86 implements "stronger guarantees" at the hardware level.

Well, that is until you enable gcc -O3 optimizations, which will move memory around, merge variables together, and other such optimizations that will follow the acquire-release model instead of TSO. Remember that the compiler has to consider the memory-consistency model between registers and RAM (when are registers holding "stale" data and need to be re-read from RAM?)

-------

The thing is, acquire-release is becoming far more popular and is the golden-standard that C++11 has more or less settled upon. C++11, ARM, POWER9, CUDA, OpenCL have moved onto acquire-release semantics for their memory model.

Next generation PCIe 5.0, CXL, OpenCAPI, are all looking at extending cache-coherence out to I/O devices such as NVMe flash and GPUs / Coprocessors. I'm betting that Acquire/release will become more popular in the coming years. TSO is too "strict" in practice, people actually want their reads-and-writes to "float" out of order with each other in most cases, especially when you're talking about a PCIe-pipe that takes 5-microseconds (20,000 clock-ticks!!) to communicate over.

Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch review: the one you’ve been waiting for
One simple way to see this is to consider what would happen if China were to split up into 100 separate smaller countries

Again, irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the emissions under control of any one government. There is no realistic probability of China breaking up so that is a complete red herring.

China’s government has made the policy decision to increase its emissions and I wonder if everyone will be happy when “per capita” they match much less populated countries. It isn’t required under the Paris treaty to take any action for 10 more years by which time “per capita” it will vastly outstrip any Western country, both in absolute terms and “per capita”.

Looking at it “per capita” is just the politically correct version of climate denial.

Investors did not do due diligence (unless there was fraud, but I have not heard of that). It is therefore not surprising AN got away with it. There are several companies with the same business model as WeWork that do not have nearly the same valuation (before all the recent hullaballoo, that is). There have been a number good articles about this topic in the WSJ lately. There is no reason to compare Adam Neumann to Elizabeth Holmes at this point.
You'd have to know how the two companies split functions between employees and contractors. Though I'd not be surprised if WeWork were staffed relatively heavily. To note something random, WeWork has an (unstaffed) booth at Kubecon which suggests they do marketing activities that someone like Regus generally doesn't.
Google drive absolute shit on Linux.

Idk what it’s like on Windows but all Linux has is the web UI anyway so it’s probably the same.

It feels almost intentionally bad, I’m not sure what’s going on there but I’m pretty sure you couldn’t pay me to use it. IMO at least with SMB you don’t have to use that godawful file manager.
>Thousands or millions of people used Hangouts, Google Reader, Google Code, or Picasa - they'd have been considered big YC successes.

Other than google reader I doubt any of these would have gotten traction at all without big g behind them.
> The services you mention all have entire large teams devoted to tackling spam, reputation, uptime, etc.

Can you provide specific numbers to the count of people devoted to tackling spam, reputation, uptime, etc? I suspect the number's a lot smaller than you think. I also suspect the peoples' duties are less devoted than you think.

If Google, for example, truly worked to tackle spam then it wouldn't have a spam problem today. If Yahoo truly worked to tackle reputation, people wouldn't have trouble sending email using an email client instead of a browser.

I'll grant you that uptime does have dedicated people. But it's not to tackle spam or reputation. It's because offline services don't make a profit.
I am not sure what the relevant laws say on paper, but I would expect unauthorized transmitters to never be heard from again (so to speak).

Besides the destruction of our planet. They must be stopped, even if it means tanking the world economy. One of my dissapointments in things like the Green New Deal is that it ignores international trade. We should ban Chinese trade until they align with climate goals.
homie.com is already doing that.
Alternatively, you can run `launchctl setenv SLACK_DEVELOPER_MENU true` and then the dev menu will work if you launch slack from anywhere, and will persist until you log out.

If you create the following plist in ~/Library/LaunchAgents, macOS will set that env variable every time you log in (except if you tell it to reopen windows when logging back in). Change "NAME.OF.FILE" to the plist's filename without the .plist extension.

Ask HN: Is Anything Made in the USA?
For cookware, the country of manufacture makes a big difference as metal leaches into the food. Countries with less rules have more of these problems. So I hunted around for cookware made in the USA and found Lodge Cast Iron.

Then came a conversation with friends where I found that they are also interested in US made products. So we decided to make a list of products with at least 80% US components.

Surprisingly now there are very few things made in the USA.

If you know of any please post here. Especially interested in clothing, outdoor, children's items and electronics.

Thanks
false claims are not transparency. false claims are the opposite of transparency. When you allow lies to spread unchecked, real transparency is meaningless because the true information exposed by the transparency can be drowned out by the false information.

Honestly, i don't even know where to begin with being asked to explain why lies are bad
and still not fixed :(

I encountered this issue today. The cleanest fix I've found on linux (which took me a day to trace the history starting from 2009):

pdftk corrupt_input.pdf generate_fdf output - | pdftk corrupt_input.pdf fill_form - output fixed_output.pdf

Which dumps form fields into text form (FDF format) from PDF. Then loads them back.

This restores missing watermarks preview.app fails to set when saves PDF.

There is ZERO innovation here. This is simply google trying to lock more people in to a service they will later try to pivot, which will then be canceled. I'm glad you are excited for this, and I hope to be proven wrong, but like all others I see a google service and wonder how long until EOL
Take MSFT game pass and back it on cloud servers. Almost all the games run on Windows, their own OS, and can be optimized for whatever datacenters are on the way out from enterprise apps but with some GPUs tossed in.

I'm over simplifying but I'm sure MSFT has a plan out there if they wanted to move forward after seeing how Stadia works out.

> Your editor cannot autocomplete those signals/slots like Qt Creator.

what do you mean ? signals and slots are just plain functions, there is no magic to understand ; the only thing that QtCreator does is to display a different icon in the autocompletion toolbox.

Do you have an example of an IDE that is not able to autocomplete a signal ? VS is able to, vscode is able to, Xcode is able to, code::blocks is able to, hell even notepad++ in all its "non-intelligence" manages to.

> Anyway, I encourage you to not get too hung up on this particular issue with Qt and consequently miss the broader point.

I am saying that this point does not make sense - else every library which has some concept not perfectly transmitted by raw C++ code (for instance : a library function whose correct execution / lack of UB depends on the programmer calling another function before that) would be problematic.
I think Stadia could be super cool for simulation games like Cities: Skylines. The lag isn't nearly as much of a problem and the ability to have an extremely powerful computer simulate many more "agents" would be fantastic.

Starlink also has to contend with the laws of physics (in particular, the maximum density of ground stations is quite low). It's a service for rural customers and a select few urban/suburban customers at best. It's not a mass-market technology that's going to put cable/fiber ISPs out of business.
I'd be very surprised if this were true. My experience is that in actual offices, MS Office is king and it would be very hard to move most workflows away from it without exactly replicating it bug-for-bug.
>if any startup launched it in its current state, people would be cheering and blaming it on a new tech/new challenges

I'd direct you to a review of Onlive, a previous startup doing exactly what you say[1]. The take away is exactly what I've heard about Stadia:

"OnLive's streaming game system is a really cool concept, and the ability to access a library of games with no downloads, discs or storage worries is definitely cause for excitement. Some gamers will be put off by the occasional lag, though, and the list of currently available games isn't hugely tempting.

Still, OnLive is an exciting proposition, and it costs nothing to try it out. It probably won't suit you if you're pernickety about lag and image quality, but we'd recommend checking it out nevertheless."

I personally think that, after seven years, Google seems to be in the same place as a much smaller company, speaks to why it feels disappointing to me.

Over it's history, Google has created many good products, and released a several great ones.

Search and Gmail transformed the web.

Google Docs and Sheets brought standalone office suite online.

App Engine was ahead of it's time for cloud based applications.

Google Big Query still is an amazing cloud based way to analyze TB/PB of data cheaply.

I'm critical of some of their business practices, but denying quality of Google's products is myopic.

The macros in the original code most all seem to be constants and very few functions, so I'm not sure what the power of Rust's macros buys here. I don't see a lot of difference between

LT(3, KC_TAB)

and

[TAB &LT{3}]

Both are "magical". Likewise, I can also understand the layout precisely by looking at the C code. To understand the Rust code, I have to assume what layer! and r! are doing, or I have to inspect them to make that determination.

I'm _sure_ Rust has advantages in certain situations, I'm not sure this is a great example to display that.

Sure. But Labor had a big-S socialist plank in its platform as recently as the 1990s. They’ve selected as their leader an old Labor member that opposed the shift. What does that tell you about what direction the “range of views” in the party is heading?

American Presidents don’t get monarchical powers. Trump has been able to deliver on almost none of his promises. But the leader a party picks is indicative of the mood of its policy makers writ large.

The part about Wine is not related, it was about what would convince me that Microsoft "loves" Linux or at least is not intimidated by it. The WSL seems to me as the first part of the EEE and the competition would be fair if Linux could have it's own project Wine supported by Microsoft, as it is now it feels as an exploit, MS can do WSL but Linux and Mac have to struggle with Wine and the FUD around it.
