skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
This size of dataset does seem to me like a good case of why the current torrent format is lacking. Many people might be interested in generally seeding for this torrent, and maybe pulling some of the files. But few are actually going to download the full 2TB. At the moment, I can select individual files to download and seed, ignoring the rest, but I cannot say "download what I want, and then seed random blocks up to a size of X GB."
It's quite conceivable that in a few months, the bigger, less "popular" files will be very hard to come by.

That's (maybe the) one thing I think IPFS gets really right: full availability of the whole dataset, regardless of the popularity of the individual blocks. There were some BEPs about that IIRC, but they never got anywhere. I always figured archive.org and similar collection hosters would be interested in this sort of thing, so that people can just "donate 1 TB to archive.org" or such.

I think long-distance thinkers solve hard problems in a way but the solutions they come up with tend to have dire short term consequences, because of which (realistically perhaps) their solutions are rejected in favour of the current.
Because a yearly tax rate isn't a flat fee and yearly rates compound.

For example, from the widely shared article from business insider the other week.

If there was a 3% tax on money past $1B Jeff Bezos wouldn't have beat $86B in fortune, but he's at $160B today.

That's a 100% increase caused by what you call a 'rounding error'. Over not-even-that-many-years.

I work remotely. My computer is in New York and I live in Paris. It works very well. I don’t understand the long rant about explaining why people don’t want remote computers.

Then Stadia, as a casual gamer I’d be more than happy to pay $2 every now and then rather than paying 300 for a device I don’t buy $60 games for.

There you go
They are really not. E.g. i have to use a US business to collect in-game payments because accounting for all the various taxes and VAT is a f’in nightmare.
> that's stealing a document in anyone's book.

It would certainly be stealing if she deleted the documents in the server afterwards, which she did not. Stealing implies that the original is gone in everyday speech. Most people would be very upset if you stole their car, not so much if you copied it.

> I'm simply saying that a military court said that.

You might want to edit your previous post then. From "technically she stole classified documents and betrayed her country that she swore to protect." to "The military court claims that she stole classified documents and betrayed her country that she swore to protect", in which case I would claim that the military is corrupt and trying to cover their own asses. Anyway, whatever the military court said does not change the reality of the situation.

> Which is what happens when you're in the armed forces and have to deal with justice.

Yes, and I am against that as the objective of such "courts" is to do the military's bidding (which is to unfairly punish whistle-blowers and give lighter punishments to war criminals).
You're making a lot of assumptions with a clear bias there. Just because you don't want this model for games, doesn't mean nobody does. I tried Stadia with Assassin's Creed in the Alpha and it was a wonderfully low bar to entry. I was able to play the new Assassin's Creed on my Macbook. There's a lot of value to that.
I used to be on the relevant ads side of the equation. Then I realized that I have been pumping data into Google for two decades and I still get terrible ads. I've let Google peek into many parts of my life and they aren't giving me more useful ads now then they did in 1998.

Meaning very positive about it? The Old Testament hold sex between a married couple to be a positive and holy thing, to be encouraged.

It occurs to me that "land of the free" can be taken two possible ways:

- "the field of the sheep" - the field only contains sheep

- "the wool of the sheep" - the wool only belongs to the sheep, not the cows, pigs, goats etc.

In the same way, America belongs to some very free people, and the rest are conned into touting that from under whatever thumb they happen to be.

How did she betray her country? During her trial, the prosecution couldn't actually point to any direct harm.
Personally I think Assange may well genuinely have believed it was US involvement - rape sentences in Sweden are short and lenient enough that evading charges for years makes no sense unless he was scared of something else. But of course that does not tell us anything about whether or not he was right.

At the same time I suspect the oddities in how the case was pursued is more likely to simply have been about domestic Swedish politics - both the prosecutor and one of the lawyers involved are known to have favoured a stricter handling of rape cases, and it's plausible they saw Assange as someone getting away with something they wanted to make an example of.

So he may well have been genuinely worried for all the wrong reasons.

Of course this is just a hypothesis.
Exactly, they have other motivations to make this work. Imagine only needing a ChromeOS laptop or Android phone to play the latest exciting games. I feel like Stadia might be the tipping point to make general computing a 100% streamed experience.

People would no longer need to buy expensive devices to: 1) browse the web 2) do basic office work 3) watch TV/video 4) edit/store images and, 5) gaming... leaving traditional desktops and laptops marginalized for only those people that need special custom software.

As an American who has lived in one of the poorest countries in the EU for over two years now, this doesn’t surprise me at all, but it’s awesome to have stats to back that up.

All of the things I listed are, I kid you not, things that are constantly happening here, even to relatively middle class people. Sure your healthcare is covered (assuming you can ever get in to see a doctor), but beyond that you’ll work your ass off 12 hours a day and still live in what Americans would call poverty.

I agree with you there, my point was that his definition is highly fallible and easily abused. And I was attempting to point that out with an example.

you could get red dead + a used ps4 for probably less than 150 and resell it when you're done without much of a loss, or just give it away as a gift. you could even rent both the game and the console for probably less than the cost of playing a degraded version with stadia (9.99 + the cost of the game+ bandwith caps)

>Stadia will be usable on my Mac in the kitchen or the bedroom
steam and ps4 both support remote play, i assume xbox has something similar as well.

and besides all of that, once you beat red dead and cyberpunk, how many similar big ticket games are being pumped out at a fast enough rate for you to justify maintaining a subscription? assuming it takes you maybe one month to slowplay through a game, is the AAA machine even putting out enough(computationally intensive but not greatly affected by poor latency) titles to keep people around?
> I've read reviews yesterday and was amazed by the lack of a long term vision from the reviewers.

Maybe it's because most reviewer are jaded because it's industry standard for gaming companies to promise the world and deliver on only a small part of that.

In general when a gaming company says "and we're going to do..." that's generally qualified with "if there's enough user adoption and demand".

To believe in Stadia, you have to trust Google will deliver on promised features, trust that Google will convince publishers to develop for it's platform, and trust your internet connection. Google really only has control over one of those things.

Also, I wouldn't at all be surprised if Comcast, Verizon, or AT&T are holding a grudge after Google Fiber and might take steps to degrade the Stadia experience as a little fk you to Google.
Journalists aren't required to be non-partisan. You don't seriously believe that journalists working at the NY Times or Washington Post are non-partisan, do you?

So I have very mild tinnitus (a bit of ringing when in bed at night, or if I really really try to listen for it).

I've noticed another auditory effect though, since I bought a glockenspiel for my child. After hearing a loud, high note on the glock, immediately after there is a momentary deep, squelchy rumble in my ears. Is this a tinnitus artifact or something else? My google skills have failed me on this one.
One thing I have to say is that Google is competitive because of the fact it has so much data. It wants that locked down to keep that advantage. At the same time, I am uncomfortable with the power this affords them over people.
> In fact, in some countries gore is more acceptable than female breasts.

That's not because one is more acceptable than the other, but because sex is seen as a private thing and war as a public thing.

So you can show gore in your living room (public matters), but not breasts (save those for your private rooms).

Designing a PCB Business Card: Get Your Geek On
The 35% is absurd if you ignore all the tax breaks which allow the average paid tax rate to be under 20%.

A point that I'd like to make is the government can be viewed as many things, but one of them is a provider of services: legal, military, diplomacy. These all cost a lot of money, and you are arguing that companies, who benefit most directly from those services, should not have to pay for them.

If the US spends, say, $2B enabling Shell's business interests, why shouldn't that price be built into the product? And before you say: you're an idiot, it would mean higher prices for consumers, yes, exactly. The cost of goods should be baked into its price.

$2 per hour per machine is not a made-up number, just check how much Amazon charges for a GPU vm.

Again, we were a small company, we had to use other cloud providers. I don't know why amazon or alike are so expensive. We tried colocation too, not any cheaper to be honest.

Also, when buying a computer or a console, you don't pay by usage. you pay one time to own the hardware and the remaining 5 year usage is free, plus power bills no one really cares. 5% utilization times 5 year is still some decent hours, the cost is not necessarily more than a cloud vm.

For a cloud vm, you pay by usage. The more you use, the more you pay, the overall payment is not capped. Eventually the cost will surplus that of the hardware. And I'm saying "Eventually" is actually a month.

Well then you've clearly not been following the discussion and are just provoking. Do your reading first please.

Edit: yes, this news item is about the rape allegations. BUT Assange had long been stating that the US were preparing a secret indictment under the espionage act, something that has turned out to be 100% correct, even though the US administration kept denying (read: lying about) it.

They never intended to give him a fair trial, there were never any indications they would, and since his indictment has become public, it is clear as daylight they won't.

> Downloading, updating, installing are certainly no issues if the bandwidth problem is solved.

No. The problem's of proper system administration go far beyond issues of bandwidth. To apply a positive change you have to know about it, find it, download it, install it, and configure it. Not to mention it helps to understand the content of the patch, how it applies, and the social/technical context of the patch. And with Windows, this is in the presence of a large amount of proprietary software at the operating system, device driver, and application level.

So, no, good bandwidth does not solve the sysadmin problem.
We have proof that every intelligence in the world is working to undermine our freedoms, so it's easy to speculate (with some degree of certainty) that if others have their own agencies you need to have yours, to counter theirs.

An addition operator where adding two positive numbers results in a negative number can hardly be called "the mathematically natural" variant. Saturation arithmetic (which is the norm for floating point, and even most fixed point) is pretty obviously not associative.

Also, it's not clear to me that your proposed wraparound addition operator is actually fully associative in all possible cases of overflow.
It also reminds me of cargo ships carrying commodities. They apparently change destination and heading numerous times before their final arrival at port, as their cargo gets bought and sold by a sequence of different entities long before it's even unloaded.

Anecdotally, Google+ failed for me because I got stuck in an authentication loop for a business page. It wanted to verify the business, but the link to do so always errored out, which made it impossible to ever change the page content beyond what I initially put in. I stopped using both sides of it at that point, and it wouldn’t surprise me if others ran into similar rough edges. In true Google style, there was absolutely no route to support either.

I find the Apple example unconvincing, especially for "recent Apple" stuff. Removing ports on their laptops, making some models' keyboard worse (most Apple users dislike the touchbar), making them unserviceable, forcing the phone users to buy expensive peripherals (Airpods...), bug-ridden OS updates, all of this point to a disdain towards their users rather than the opposite. Am I missing something?
It's been over 12 years since the last entry in this franchise. Outside the memes, I wonder if the name has enough weight to be a system-seller for Valve Index the way Half-Life 2 brought Steam into the mainstream (as much as people disliked it at the time, you can't argue they were unsuccessful).

> never knew telling your experiences gets you downvotes

I think this case is more specific than that: expressing personal experience as something that must therefore be true for everyone often gets you downvotes, at least here, unless you experience agrees directly and completely with local group-think (and even then some who disagree with the local group consensus will downvote without explanation).

Frame personal experience as personal experience that might inform others usefully, rather than framing personal experience as solid undisputable globally applicable fact. You'll likely still get some downvotes of course, no matter what you say or how you frame it.
