I am not so sure. Downloading, updating, installing are certainly no issues if the bandwidth problem is solved. It just isn't really a hassle today for people with good connections. Maybe it will capture the casual market, but there are disadvantages to the platform.

Just think of modding as an example. It might capture some console players, but I am not sure if they pull off even that, since the service is actually more expensive. In that case they will also need to compete with exclusives like other systems and it is questionable if developers will commit.
I can see how this situation can come about due to penny wise pound stupid cost cutting.
Surely one-to-one help for these kids inside the classroom would be better?
One next step that I don't think C++ compilers do yet is deduplicate functions that differ only in constants used or functions called. This could help with std::sort-style functions where the outer algorithm can work on generic pointers and only the comparison is a call to a different function.
I agree that there is something to cloud gaming that is highly attractive. For example, it would be great to throw a controller into your backpack and have full access to your AAA games to play (though hotel wifi isn't exactly super great)

Having said that, when reviewing it, there is a balance between recognizing the future and taking into account present realities.

Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2159/
The allegation is there was no consent. From the arrest warrant:

> 4. Rape

> On 17 August 2010, in the home of the injured party [SW] in Enkoping, Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep was in a helpless state.
> You can't steal online data. You can only copy it

that's stealing a document in anyone's book.

> Exposed crimes against the constitution by the government and the military to the peopl

You're arguing with me, but I agree with you, I'm simply saying that a military court said that.

That's why I said technically.

The law is all about technicalities.

Manning wore a uniform, she was subject to court-martial, and court-martial ruled against her.

I'm just reporting it.

> Which is an extremely corrupt move.

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

It's the same for everyone who joins the military.

She wasn't treated in a special way.
My point was that your partner can be pushy enough that you participate even though you didn't really want to. I.e. they are horny/want to have sex, you don't, yet you still have sex. By the definition above that is sexual assault.

If you don't communicate that you don't want to have sex it becomes a really murky topic, as you didn't give verbal nor non-verbal consent. But you also didn't give verbal nor nnon-verbal disconsent. This could be something you regret afterwards, but I don't think you can attribute that to malintent (or rape/sexual assault) on your sexual partner's side.

So removing the condom mid-act would be sexual assault, a broken condom wouldn't be. But the partner consented to sex with a condom.

Or in case a woman says she's on birthcontrol (or has a spiral) and it later turns out that was false, then you also didn't consent to that.

So basically my second point is that it takes a lot of language to define what is and what isn't sexual assault or rape. Condensing it down would be harmful to victims and people accused.
If only there was some sort of independent expert to assess the situation for us ;)
> handing them over to a foreign organization, and saying "You'll make the best use of this, I trust you" isn't whistleblowing.

So Snowden isn’t a whistleblower because he gave them to the Guardian?
This article is kinda asking the wrong question. If they want to analyze the slogan "every billionaire is a policy failure," they need to focus the policy itself and its results, not if the billionaires followed the policy.

To illustrate this in another area: if the slogan was "every polluted river is a policy failure," [1] it's a poor response to answer "the river was polluted fair and square according to the rules!"

I think streaming gaming is doomed but that Sunblade system they are describing sounds really cool for casual computing.
I know about it. Trust me, NOBODY will play with a teammate with 500ms latency. On EU servers my usual latency is 43-47ms. It's really far from "half of a second".
How does it make sense that a computer at home, with 5% utilization and retail power prices, can be less per hour than a computer with 50% utilization and wholesale power?

Even if all you do is host single-user machines with retail games installed and some kind of imaging solution, it seems like it should pay off.
His treatment in Sweden if he'd complied rather than fleeing justice in the UK would likely have been far better. His dissembling about extradition and all of his actions suggest he was guilty of the rapes and hiding from justice.
Obviously man on the street is more legitimate.
>While there are situations like you describe where "didn't really want to participate" represents something immoral and selfish but less insidious than what we think of as rape, there are also plenty of situations where it does represent the weighty event of sexual assault.

I'm talking strictly about situations where there is no threat of violence.

Obviously there is a spectrum of varying degrees of consent from "perfectly ok" to "definitely rape" and somewhere in there is a range that constitutes sexual assault but to say that the lack of specifically enthusiastic consent defines the floor of the sexual assault range is farcical when there are so many other variables to consider.

>Disclaimer: The parent post was edited after I began replying to be worded a bit less absolutely.

I changed the order of the three points.

>we are mapping "didn't really want to" very differently onto real examples of emotional state.

I think a lot of people find "didn't really want to" to be equivalent to "really didn't want to"
Interesting that CoffeeScript was used. I’m not a front end developer, but I’ve always liked its syntax. JavaScript has picked up many (if not more) features of it as of today, but I still find CoffeeScript code more readable.
I’ve noticed a trend recently. Someone will write a very long article about some problem, without mentioning politics once. Then, at the end, they’ll assert that the answer is to remake society from the ground up. This is the template:

The problem is that cloud gaming already exists and many providers did a better job than Google. Even the latency shouldn't be an issue, I've cloudgamed to a DC in the netherlands with 2ms of latency but apparently somehow Google manages to fuck that up somehow.

I doubt Google will continue Stadia, the press is already bad, the product is bad, it'll likely be dusted in a few years, leaving the product owners out of a product and their money.
I thought there were places where you could just drive or hike in and camp for up to three nights? FWIW, w/o restrictions you would have folks living there permanently. (I know because I totally would.)

As long as "free" is firmly inside the quotation marks, sure.
The precursor to any revolt is (even mild) civil unrest. The article is pointing out that we don't even have any signs of that. As you've pointed out, even the idea that things are about to turn much worse (rather than actual conditions today) can motivate civil unrest, but we still don't have it here in the US.
You're going to have to show your work on that assertion.
Melzer: "Mr. Assange was about as free to leave as someone sitting on a rubber boat in a shark pool."

In 2016 another group of UN experts found his situation to be "arbitrary detention":

> In its official Opinion, the Working Group considered that Mr. Assange had been subjected to different forms of deprivation of liberty: initial detention in Wandsworth Prison in London, followed by house arrest and then confinement at the Ecuadorean Embassy.

> The experts also found that the detention was arbitrary because Mr. Assange was held in isolation at Wandsworth Prison, and because a lack of diligence by the Swedish Prosecutor’s Office in its investigations resulted in his lengthy loss of liberty.

> The Working Group established that this detention violates Articles 9 and 10 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, and Articles 7, 9(1), 9(3), 9(4), 10 and 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

>I guess Google did an MVP and everybody is expecting it to be a fully-fledged offering already.

If you charge $60 for the games, and $130 for the hardware (and associated $10/mo subscription for the premium option) - people will have certain expectations. For $300 you can get yourself a Switch and have latency-free mobile gaming experience. Obviously cloud-gaming is a slightly different use-case, but is it different enough for most?
It looks like they just decided that a billionaire who earned his money in certain industries did so illegitimately. That is arbitrary and unpersuasive.

"Our analysis identifies industries where rent-seeking is common, including mining, defence, construction and casinos. This time it also includes the largest tech companies, since many of them have engaged in anticompetitive practices.

Three-quarters of billionaires’ wealth in advanced economies was fairly acquired. Still, rentier wealth has risen relative to gdp. Some countries are more cronyfied than others. Sweden and Germany less so. But in America rent-seeking industries made one in five billionaires and explain a third of total billionaire wealth."
I'm using a Fitbit and I'm thinking about just uninstalling the app.

The watch is set up like I want it to, it can show my heartbeat during training, the steps of the day and the time. Obviously without the app and data synchronisation I will not get weekly fitness reports, but I don't really care about those.

Maybe my next watch will be a dumb one again. Didn't get that much out of a smart watch as I expected.

I bought a three pack about 5 years ago and am only on the 2nd can. They're great for a very occasional spritz into a fan or some other dusty region when you have a laptop or desktop open for a repair.

Otherwise I'll use a vacuum or duster, if it's not delicate electronics.
It depends on where you're located. With FiOS in NYC I can get to AWS Virginia in 18ms. I don't have any Google Cloud servers to test with.

When I use Steam/NVidia in home streaming with my GTX 1080 card, I can render a 1080p frame in about 10-12ms and decode it in 10ms on my 4K FireTV. (I beat Witcher 3, TombRaider, and Hitman with it over a 50Mbit powerline ethernet setup and they all looked fine BTW.)

Even if the Google data center is twice as far as AWS, that's 58ms lag, or 4 frames at 60fps. You can emulate the same lag by turning off Game Mode on your HDTV, it's fine for most games.

However, it is bullshit that the Stadia website doesn't have something like fast.com that tells you if your internet connection has enough bandwidth/latency to actually work with the service.

It's also not a good sign that they're not talking about avoiding wifi for your connection the way Steam does.
In Athen's case I don't think it technically counted as corruption in the "misappropriation" sense as the intended beneficiaries received it. Given the number of votes to "pillage and enslaved their neighbors" it would certainly count morally if not for the fact it was "the norm".

At that point the difference between bandits and city state military was essentially just diplomacy in terms of how their neighbors and survivors would react to somebody putting killing or enslaving them.

As I mentioned, Archbishop Theodore himself takes a historically extreme version of sexual taboos. And a celibate clergy may have something to do with that.

> How does not cultivating a healthy sexual relationship with your spouse lead to a nuclear family?

Without defining what is or isn't "healthy," Judais/Christianity explicitly does at least broadly support intramarital children/sex.

"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13:4)

"God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it.'" (Genesis 1:28)

"He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh" (Matthew 19:4)

Solitary confinement is often used during war. That Assange is incarcerated in a civilian prison doesn't necessarily diminish or change the effectiveness and impact.
Even Haskell doesn't get it right: there are no exhaustiveness checks on pattern matches (something OCaml has), and while sum types provide closed unions, getting open unions is clunky (have to use typeclasses). OOP languages are imperfect in the opposite direction: open unions out of the box (inheritance) but no closed unions and no pattern matching. Seems language authors on the whole are bad thinking design spaces through. "The user might want any of three simple things X, Y, or Z, so let's choose the one that our language will support well, the one it will kind of support, and the one it won't support whatsoever just for the hell of it".
Yes, on the one hand, traditional gaming (FPS, etc.) is most of the market now. Call of Duty, Fortnite, etc. But we're on the cusp of VR/AR really taking off.

The current all-in-one VR systems are almost good enough for a lot of people to jump in. I can see the next-gen of those being very popular. Certainly, you're giving up a lot by wearing all the rendering silicon on your head, but the other side of that is that it shaves precious milliseconds off the end-to-end latency, which is critical for a good experience.

And there's no way to do any of that with streaming games.

Now, for an old man like me who's mostly playing turn-based strategy games, card games and such, Stadia might be an attractive offer. Of course, those sorts of games don't push the limits of my old system, so... yeah, I don't need it right now either.

While top-end PCs can render better than top-end consoles right now, I don't see that as being compelling enough, especially when you factor in the network bandwidth / low-latency needed.

This specific incident is surely rather harmless, but I wonder if the same can be said about this type of thing.

>> ...but how many are actually doing it? A lot? A few? Who knows. I'm sure <X> has no clue but that won't stop them from writing <Y>.

I feel like it would be improvement if individuals and overall society (especially thoughts leaders) considered the potential importance of this general idea. I have a speculative armchair theory that the incredible changes in the amount and style of information (news, memes, forum discussions) people consume due to the introduction of the internet and 24 hour cable news is doing something to humans on a deep psychological basis, that it may be significantly altering our heuristics in a historically abnormal way, resulting in a large amount of incorrect perceptions and negative behaviors.

Is this really happening, might there be some truth to this, could some people be truly affected by this? A lot? A few? Who knows. But if it is happening, to a degree that is non-negligible, and nobody notices, how damaging might the effects be? Could this, say, affect how people treat others on a daily basis? Might it play a role in how they vote in elections, or make personal decisions on various public policy matters? To me, these seem like questions worth considering.
Thanks. Be on the lookout for lots of improvements to the SDK, as well.
> the lack of a long term vision

How about this for a long term vision: any game you buy now will be totally lost in the future ("long term") when Google decides to shut down the service (which happens all the time) or deactivate your account (which also happens all the time) while developers will have moved on and/or closed and wont give a second thought about. In the meanwhile, while Stadia exists, any games will be filled with anti-consumer garbage that you wont be able to do anything about - not even the files that make up the game are under your control.

I'm 100% hoping this will fail, not because it isn't a technically cool product nor because i cannot imagine the potential it has - i want it to fail exactly because i can imagine all the negative potential it has.

I do not want to rent my computer nor i want to rent my gaming device, i want to fully control everything in it and i do not want any commercial scheme that erodes the marketplace which allows me to have that freedom.

Millions of people in Catalonia have very vocally, and sometimes, violently, expressed their opinion on independence without any restriction to their freedom. Some politicians have been convicted for more subtle charges, that include misuse of public funds, and not obeying previous court orders.

The proindependence propaganda is very strong, and very focused on biasing international and english-spoken media; I'd ask you to at least please read topics from both sides if you want to be informed and have a balanced opinion.

The submitter account, tsunamid, shares the name ot the violent revolts from the last days, and most probably was created just for spamming this forum (0 comments, 2 proindependence submissions, 6 karma).
> I consider the statements of Apple about the environment friendlyness of their devices phony, as long as a keyboard defect can total the device or at least mean, that large parts of the device have to be changed, which aren't defective.

It's a tough question to definitively answer. Are there greater environmental costs to producing and using screws rather than rivets? If so, how does that balance against the environmental costs of replacing failed computers?

It's possible that a fixed keyboard could be the correct choice if their new keyboard fails in low enough numbers.

Mutable state is an implementation detail. It is tricky, it induces confusion, maybe it should be avoided whenever possible. But if you are using a physical computer, that is all that you have.

And, in those very same computer implementations, data cannot possibly contain methods. The compiler is going to treat them as ordinary function implementations, not any different from functions generated by the compilers of non-OO languages.

So I would love to see a mathematical proof of the isomorphisms you mentioned but, especially, a proof that your proposal is actually non-isomorphic to the other examples. I don't believe that holds true.
