Wow. Somehow you wrote this statement but you don't see it as dismissive sexist and racist stereotyping just because it's in the reverse direction sexism and racism usually goes? Being reversed doesn't make it okay, at least if you claim to believe in equality.
What a tone-deaf article. "Isn't it funny that this murderous national leader once ran Unix? ha ha"
Never even knew there even were isolation cells in schools, that sounds completely insane.
Scratch Parsec, they don't rent cloud machines anymore, it looks like they're a streaming service now.
It wasn't mentioned in my post, but the "relatedness" aspect was definitely a big component. I felt like I was letting myself down by not working on what's important to me, but I felt like I was letting the team down by being ineffective in my regular "keep the lights on" role, and so _everyone_ was being disappointed. I disliked the work, but I still like my team, and didn't want to be responsible for making their jobs harder. One of the goals here was to remove that conflict of interest.

SDT is interesting – I hadn't read anything about this before, so thanks for the keyword.
Unpacking AR Business Models: Advertising
This is a really cool idea, there are other products out there that do the same thing, but there is definitely room to differentiate yourself.

One interesting issue, you might need to read the context a bit more to gauge if the post is actually talking about the Brand. For example Target is a common english word, and if you look at the results, only 1 usage was actually referring to the store Target.

One nice bonus that would be useful, I'd like to be able to compare sentiment by Subreddit, if i'm marketing on Reddit I would not target "Reddit" as a whole.
“3” is a forbidden number within Valve.
Note that their revenue generator is Toutiao, not TikTok.
If only we could get a sense of how many people would actually use such a thing. I've got a feeling that 97% of FitBit users don't care, but if enough of them did then it could be a potentially profitable(albeit short-lived) piece of software.
When considering selling points, everyone seems to be focusing on the advantages of being able to run traditional games without console hardware or delays for installation, but no-one seems to be talking about how something like this could fundamentally change the constraints on multiplayer game design. I wonder what the server side looks like, and whether anyone is working on MMO type products that are designed specifically for this setup..

I doubt so. There are inherent issues with VR currently (stuck in a small environment, limited interactions), I can't see how they could make a first-person game extraordinary enough for people to suddenly open and empty their wallets and embrace VR just for one game. But I may be wrong.
Bug estimation: to be or not to be
The article and the intervention it describes exist specifically in the context of "special education". The children subjected to it have autism, epilepsy, and similar conditions. To say that they're merely "misbehaving" because of bad home training, lazy parents, or any other reason, fails to correctly understand the substance of the matter.
Like the author I feel like you have fallen into the trap of thinking that places like Flint are “the US”.
Is download time a significant factor for people with the types of connections that will have a good experience on Stadia? It’s my understanding that downloading a large game in a timely fashion and streaming it are both bandwidth-intensive. As for “terabyte-sized games” are there any of those on the market, or even on the horizon? At some point it’s either outside of the budget of most games to produce that many assets, or the 1080p/upscaled to 4K experiences that Stadia provides won’t make use of extremely high resolution textures.
Yes, i am biased against losing control over my computer and the games and software i can run on it and mess around with (be it modding, programing, custom patches or whatever). And i do see it through the potential of things going bad because if things go perfect then everything is fine.

I focus on the bad side because i do not want the bad things to happen and i see the bad things way worse than the good things.
Imagine if we had this conversation 10 years ago:

- I don't like streaming services, because content can disappear/the quality is lower/...

- Streaming doesn't prevent you from owning your own DVDs/BDs, nor will it

And now in 2019, there are so many films and tv shows only released through streaming services, and never sold on disks.
I don't want to take away from the importance of this specific issue.

But documentation at public schools is often a complete disaster anyway. The sheer volume of documentation and even where it should "go" is a huge burden put on teachers who are busy with other things.

I know of a school asking teaches to begin all documentation with some "standard" documentation for every form. Among things like date of birth and etc standard sheet asks for the race of the child, they're explicitly told to not ask the child or family for that information (for a variety of reasons depending on who you ask). They of course have no access to any of the information the school already has about that child. So any documentation automatically becomes impossible to fill out, let alone deliver to the appropriate people.

As someone who used to make async multiplayer games I think Stadia is a good fit currently for that style of game. Using it for latency-sensitive AAA games seems like a decade or two too early for the tech.

Cloud gaming has huge multiplayer advantages because you can skip the whole network stack and build your game for couch multiplayer, yet it's still playable over the internet.

Combine that with the deep pockets of F2P gamers, and Google's existing relationship with these devs via Google Play; I have no idea how they missed this.
Just to be clear the XBox One S for $150/$200 listed above also included a controller, it isn't just a bare console with no way to play on it. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
I thought that they created Stadia so that they could get recurring-revenue-customers to buy their GPUs for them.
Deepfakes Paranoia Considered Pointless

Just no.

"Stadia is the first offering that matches my needs of a Netflix for games"

These services have existed for a while. OnLive failed because it was ahead of it's time, and lagged.

GeForce Now is free, while it's still in beta.
Project xCloud is free, while it's still in beta.
Google Stadia is £120 down and a monthly fee... while it's clearly still in beta.

"If Google doesn't drop the ball"

Google already dropped the ball here by asking for money for a beta test, and being the only big player to do so.

I like Google, but this was just the wrong way to go about bringing this product to market.

Microsoft have experience working with players and game developers. Nvidia have experience working with game developers - less so with players, but the Shield has done well.

The optics here are just bad. To see both of those companies put their services through prolonged public testing periods without charge makes Stadia look either naive (in that they thought this would be easy to build) or cynical ("hey the customers have to bear the sunk costs if it fails").

I don't for a second think Google is being cynical - but Stadia should have had a free public beta before taking a cent from paying customers.
As long as we play ball enough.
Media Accounting 101: Appholes and Contracts
I think the costs are higher for local gaming than cloud gaming. But the user views the costs differently -- with local gaming, they own a GPU after buying it, and the electricity charges are not really apparent; but with cloud gaming, they pay a clear monthly fee. So that fee can't be too high or users won't be interested. And on top of all this, you have to add the tradeoff of the latency and bandwidth usage versus local gaming where these are not a concern.
Google Stadia belongs to yet another category: products that some people like and want and others hate and hope fail for social/political/economic reasons. AMP and Facebook Libra are other examples of products like this.

I hope Stadia fails because if PC gaming dies it will harm consumers broadly by further decimating the high-end PC market and reducing demand for high-end edge device CPUs, GPUs, etc.

We do not want a world where all compute belongs to someone else.
> Stallman was saying the exact opposite of what you believe he said.

> He was arguing that rape is rape, even if in different states they have different laws.

It was while he was defending Minsky and he was actually arguing that sex does not magically become rape depending on the country that you do it.

> It is rape, she said no, he forced her, it is rape.

He did not force her though. He had consent to have sex with her. It's just that they agreed to have a condom on but he apparently ripped it or something and she noticed it only afterwards.
Have you considered that you might not be the target audience for a $10/month game streaming service?
That's a fair point and a flaw in my response.

It's more based off the UK too where job security was higher and previously unemployment benefit was more generous and more widely available. There's still a difference here, from the UK the common mass redundancies of tech in the US seem bizzare and likely to increase work related stress.

I still think the author is using "older white male" shorthand to point out that we need to structure society and the economy in a way that protects all people from burnout and provides access to the tools and treatment to recover from it to all. Rather than assuming all people are sufficiently well off to take 6 months to do a Jack Dorsey style Buddhist retreat. I'd hope that the readers are capable of enough nuance to understand that what is meant is an elite rather than react to perceived racism, ageism, sexism etc. It just seems like the mirror of widely derided sensitivity of those on the left but even more bizarre because it claims racism against a group holding power (again in the UK, US, Australia, Canada, most of Europe, excluding the Roma, whoever else, but having to caveat to this extent swiftly makes language unworkable)
More like Half-Life 1/3 confirmed.
So it is

$129 for the device,
$9.99 Per month,
$x.xx for the internet connection you require at all time due to no offline play,
$x.xx to buy titles that you can only play with said internet connection.

At least now you CAN buy games you can play offline with the other consoles and PC. If someone came up with Movies Anywhere for video games so i could buy it once and play on any console i would be cool with this, but 20 years from now when you get that nostalgia and want to pull the Stadia out and play that one game....well you can't (unless it is still around, but then they will pull games from stores due to licensing, maybe because it has that one song on it and it is copyright....). At least with a physical game and ps4 or xbox1 there are usually ways to play without internet on some games.

I bet with the data mining and everything they will do fun stuff like have real time ads play on billboards in games targeting you and other such fun stuff (maybe they do that already in games, i have never looked).

I think the tech is cool and some people will love it. Not sure if it is what i would want to invest in.

Why the charade of Sweden? Why not extradite him direct from the UK, which is far further down the list of good justice systems
Part of the rule of law is that laws must be just and impartial. The laws and actions of the Third Reich obviously did not have that quality.

The two situations aren't remotely comparable. But you probably know that, you're just trolling.
The US justice system is possibly the most cruel justice system in the West, and by quite a margin, too. It is one of a few aspects in which the US is far closer to today's developing and third world countries than to the Western average. Also over many decades many organizations have called out the conditions in parts of the US justice system as torture(-like).
Their support is non-existent not just bad. They shouldn't be in any consumer market.
Twitter is also overrun by propaganda bots and those peddling an agenda (e.g. Tesla perma-shorts).
More propaganda from the secessionists. You have been using institutional resources to spread your ideas for forty years, it is more than clear to everybody that your freedom of expression is not in jeopardy.
Something is going to have to be planned. YouTube is very quickly becoming something we won't like.
Potentially but it depends.

If you have a child who regularly hits other children, how much in classroom help do you need before you need to remove the child from the situation?
True. The US was an industrial behemoth before even formal involvement in the War and was preposterously powerful in the area. They didn't have it diminished by bombing and gained manufacturing capacity instead of losing it.

While others were unscarred they never "stood up" by the standards of the world scale even if they were also industrialized.
I hope it remains generically SteamVR compatible and doesn't require Index or shut out the Rift or original Vive.

situation, 120 + blowing the bandwith cap every weekend is not going to be much cheaper than even a full price console and will bring far more headaches. beyond that, who is gonna want to play with the kid on the lagmachine? that's not gonna go over well at the lunch table.
Unlike Facebook, which is data collection being funneled to Western companies and US agencies.
You're thinking of vine, which felt like it was just hitting critical mass when twitter killed it off. TikTok has grown so big because of the boost it started with from people looking for a vine replacement. At least that's what it feels like, I don't have the numbers to back it up.
No, the alternative would be to put a new shipping label on the original package.
Okay but why? When you walk out of a movie theater you don't have anything. Was it still a good movie?

Maybe longevity is overrated? If you play a game for a month or two and enjoyed it, it's worth the price. Rental services make this explicit.
I never said anything was non isomorphic. It all depends on how high you go to look at everything. Technically if it’s Turing complete it’s isomorphic. So all styles of programming are isomorphic because they run on a Turing machine.

However when you don’t take a birds eye view Of everything a dichotomy exists between say OOP and say functional programming. We don’t talk about these two styles of programming as if they are the same thing just because an isomorphism exist at a different level. We view these two concepts from a different context and in that specific context OOP is different then FP hence the different naming. At the Turing machine level both styles coalesce into assembly language and at this level they are the same.

So at all levels above the Turing machine. If OOP is defined as nodes with states and methods communicating with one another.... Then microservices, rest and corba form an isomorphism. Because that’s what microservices are... nodes of servers with state and methods...

Surely this is different from a stateless pipeline of functions where data is put into the front of the pipe And a new value pops out of the other end of the pipe.

No mathematical proof can describe this dichotomy because essentially Turing completeness says everything is the same thing so I’m operating at a different level if you know what I mean. Maybe a smarter person has a way to illustrate this dichotomy formally but all I’m going for is you understanding what I’m talking about.

Partial answer.

It comes from a time when Church was not only a spiritual power, but also a very temporal one, after Constantin brought it within the heart of the Roman Empire.

From a time when society and lives were ruled quite in a top-down fashion.

I don't know how to respond to this. UN experts on human rights have looked into his situation and been quite alarmed by it. I can't think of a group of people more respected in the field of human rights than the experts at the UN. And yet there are commenters here on HN who, I don't know on what basis, write that it's all mostly "hyperbole".
Voluntarily doing something you’re not excited about is different than having something done to you you don’t want done. It’s not kidnapping if I agree to go with my wife to visit her sister. It is rape if I agree to sex with a condom but the other party removes it. It’s also rape if I agree to sex with someone and then they engage in sex a second time while I am asleep hours later.
HTML/JS is criminally underrated as a game development platform. You get so much from it, like instant deployment, delivery, multiplayer features, and so much more. You can just send a link to your friends and they can join your game with a single click.

The reason why business apps went all to the web still holds for games as well. Games like agar.io use these features, such as no downloads and instant start, and their success speaks for itself.

> Stealing implies that the original is gone in everyday speech.

"Data theft" is understood to mean illicit copying, with no assumption that originals were destroyed. In everyday speech, "stealing data" implies unauthorized copies.

There are advantages to controlling the terminology in a narrative, but the ship has sailed on this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_theft
Interesting, but the article doesn't give enough information for third parties to duplicate it. The referenced paper "Less sickness with more motion and/or mental distraction" uses a completely different device.

Nor does the article indicate how long the relief persists after removal of the device. The article is also vague about how many people have reported relief.

There's also the question of controls. Assuming the effect is general and real (a stretch at this point), there could be something about the device besides its vibration that leads to relief of symptoms. Nothing along these lines is reported.

I get that this is a blog post and that the author is probably in the process of commercialization, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The article does little to convince.
>It's as if my ear is trying to compensate for the lack of sound.

As I understand it, this is exactly what tinnitus is. Your ear becomes insensitive to a certain frequency, so your brain "equalizes" it, if you will, and over compensates to the point that you're hearing something that's not there.
I say use all the tricks in the book to get more people to stop using google. Trust in media has always been an issue. Trust a company with your data has never been worse.
Tinnitus is weird. It can change from being fairly soft and presenting no issue at all to really very distracting by just thinking about it (in my case).

I've found that thinking about it more than usual in, say, the morning, can result in your mind focusing on the specific frequencies the tinnitus manifests in, with these conscious-subconscious feedback loops resulting in it sounding far louder than usual for the rest of the day. Then, the next day, it's back to normal.

I'd be interested in finding out more about this conscious-subconscious connection with tinnitus, because it's quite amazing how it can be forgotten about for a seemingly arbitrarily long period of time until the thought comes up.

edit: or perhaps I shouldn't, for exactly this reason ;)

> It would certainly be stealing if she deleted the documents in the server afterwards, which she did not

Again, not a lawyer, not trying to counter you personally, but if someone clones my credit card and take money from it, it is stealing, even if the card is still in my pocket.

If someone use my bank's password to transfer funds to his account, it is stealing, even if my account is still in my possess.

> "The military court claims that she stole classified documents and betrayed her country that she swore to protect"

That translates to "technically she stole classified documents and betrayed her country that she swore to protect."

because that's what a court does, it establish the facts, unless we prove the court-martial framed Mannings for something she did not do.

If I'm sentenced by a court for fraud, it means I committed fraud, unless I prove the court is wrong.

Saying "the court says that X did that" and "X did that" it's the same thing.

> which is to unfairly punish whistle-blowers and give lighter punishments to war criminals

I agree it is unfair, but the military know how it is, it's not something special to Mannings's case.
