netizen-9748 asked for a reference where someone was canceled for sharing facts, which I provided. This has huge implications for the entire nation. How can we trust "facts" when everyone knows that the "facts" are cherry-picked, and certain facts can't be published without committing career suicide? Shor and Gabbard are both progressive Democrats who are heavily involved in politics. They're not hated for who they are or having "fascist" beliefs. They're hated for stating inconvenient facts.

If you live in a rural town and can't make any friends, that's uncomfortable, but it's not a threat to the rest of the country. You're also handily glossing over the fact that the "hated" viewpoints make up around half of the country. If one person does something that pisses off 90% of the town, then "community affection" applies. But if half of the town has decided that the other half are Nazis and need to be subdued, along with any unorthodox people in their own half, then that's just a naked political power grab.

I am the exact same way, and yet I struggle to articulate this. People say to me "why would you be excited to own a carwash?" (example biz, I own none right now) and my answer is basically what you said -- its this kind of huge, real world, testing environment/challenge. How can we increase efficiency here? How would modifying the soap mixture affect the cleanliness of the cars? So many inputs and outputs to experiment with, I can't think of anything more interesting....

This is obviously wrong.

We store unstructured data in snowflake. I don't understand why you need a datalake on top of it.
I've seen this comment a few times now across HN and article comments. Can you say more about why you hold this opinion?

It seems clear to me that Google deciding not to focus on game development is showing a level of awareness we should want to see. In fact, by redirecting those resources they are directly investing in the platform instead of content for it that, let's be honest, probably would have flopped.

I've been a happy Stadia Pro subscriber for about six months and in that time all I've heard from the community is "we want AAA, we want game x, y, and z" and with Google's decision, they're likely freeing resources to do just that.

Yeah my favorite thing about CeFi and DeFi is that there is so much room to easily compete by contributing just a different combination of assets, almost infinite permutations possible

Each service offers a few assets, gets comfortable and extremely hard to contact by any other token’s community and loses business to the next service that does offer the token du jour for lending and borrowing.

Oh don’t get me wrong - the “architect” on that project is in over his head.

The thing is, starting a DataBricks cluster can take 2-3 minutes. If you can’t keep it running, you have to bear that cost every time you want to use it. You know, like when you are batch processing... But when you’ve got an on-premise server with a nice fat fiber channel connection to an nvme Pure Storage SAN and a processor that is really good at I/O, it’s going to be pretty fast.
I've been playing Destiny 2 on Stadia for 2 months, and I love it. It's been stable, pretty, lag-free & fluid (60fps). Even though D2 is a shooter and would thus be particularly susceptible to lag, I found the experience to be practically perfect. That said, I have Comcast Business Internet which is stable, and everything's connected over ethernet.

Stadia's voice party system works well, and while I've been playing on a TV (Chromecast Ultra & Stadia controller), I've run raids with folks playing on their phones, iPads, & Chromebooks.

Maybe because it's still a small and new community, but I've found it generally friendly and good quality.
1. What's the effort required for the port? If a game already has Linux support, it basically is compatible with Stadia, whereas if you have to port it to Xbox, that requires a lot more time and resources.

2. Was the offer to be a timed exclusive like with Epic, or just to add integration for Stadia? I would assume the offers money to be very different depending on that.

3. Are we comparing similarly sized games? "one prominent indie developer" is kinda vague. Again not sure how comparable it is with Epic/Microsoft deals.

I would guess high cost, market saturation, and not enough research and development. It seemed like an ok product when we evaluated them, but the cost was prohibitive. After the hortonworks and cloudera merger, the future of the hadoop/spark open source ecosystem seemed extremely dull and we came really close to using either databricks or one of their competitors. We found that spark on kubernetes appears to have a bright future. So, we didn't have to double our spark cluster costs by going to databricks.

"You see it in marijuana legalization, where some state’s are so restrictive about licensing sakes outlets that legal weed costs more than illegal. How can that kill off a dangerous black market?"

Look at consumer products: generics or store brands are available for all kinds of products yet the substantial majority of sales are for branded products. And here the generics/stores brands are fairly similar to the branded products. But in the illegal drug market you have little idea of the quality of that product--so consumers will pay substantially more for products where they know exactly what they are getting [in this case the legal products].

It's not really an adventure game like that, it's more of a click through story where fabulous Contoso clip-art people use all of their MS security solutions to thwart bad actors from Eastern Europe!

They have infrequent questions about what Kiana (the IT professional) should do: remediate ransomware on Paula's PC? or keep investigating the infiltration?

So far I have not made a wrong choice, which either means I'm fairly smart, or every option leads to another perfectly suited MS security tool. Could be both I guess, but I don't have a control group so I don't know!

Kind of nice graphics anyway.

As much as I hope the author is happy and safe and that his ventures succeed I’m a bit dumbfounded by what seems like irresponsibility and a lack of maturity.

I guess if you don’t need the money for rent, have access to great healthcare, don’t plan on financially supporting a family etc, this is a lifestyle choice.

In terms of potentially influencing other people to make similar choices that are not as “risk free” the author should add an opportunity cost to his calculations.
I'm curious about your passive investment income strategy. I too am a developer with considerable assets accumulated over the years through investment and savings, and with no wife or kids to worry about I've often thought about taking the leap into being a solo dev working on my own projects. In 2020 I learned how to make a new passive income stream by simply selling options against stocks and cash I held in my portfolio, but since 2020 was an odd year I'm not sure if this is a good long term strategy as volatility and thus option prices were much higher in that year. You've been able to survive 3 years so I'm wondering what you do.

This isn't true, studies has shown that taking stimulants has no effects on grades for normal people. The "increased focus" they experience is just perception and not fact, it can even hurt their ability to focus. Being able to sit with a task for hours isn't "focus".

Thanks for that feedback - we've got a lot of work to do to make that more clear! We're still early in our journey so we’re not there yet, but we’re moving fast. We're working on a new collaborative UI for interacting with your data in a way that solves a lot of problems we've witnessed with current monitoring UIs (let me know if you want more detail). It's in early development and we haven't released it yet, so while Opstrace does have a UI now, it's currently limited to system management (adding/removing users and tenants). For interacting with data, we currently ship a Grafana instance per tenant. The roadmap has some basic information about this (might not be something you stumbled across). Let me know if I can clarify anything else. https://opstrace.com/docs/references/roadmap

What would your ideal "not-game" look like? Are you sure you wouldn't be happy with a game like Factorio which is basically a perfect sandbox (despite having lots of stats if you go to look at them)?
> after Google inevitably shuts down stadia and you’re left with nothing

There is literally no way Google shuts down Stadia and doesn't refund people their money and let them export their save files (you can already do the latter). So no, the worst worst case is that you got to play on Stadia for free and if you really want the game again you can use that money to buy it somewhere else.

> What do you think would happen? You wake up one day and everything is gone?

Yes, actually that's about what I expect. Not literally in a day, but fully do expect that in another year or two Google will announce that Stadia is going away and that in a few months it'll be gone. Games were rentals, not leased/sold, so they'll stop charging but you'll hardly be able to take your games with you. Saves might be Takout-able, so if you go re-buy the games you can keep playing... probably... if you even have hardware to game on...

In contrast, I've known people who ran MS software locally for months-to-years after it was obsolete/discontinued, and non-Microsoft software even longer (cue the classical story of the business that held on to their DOS software until Windows XP finally made it too painful to use).
Do a handful of posts on the tiny Stadia subreddit justify the massive investment Google has made to create yet another App Store? Is the market of people who use Apple Mail because they don’t know how to register a Gmail account large and profitable enough for them to justify the investment?

The problem isn’t just lock in. There are also less games on Stadia. The lack of available games is directly due to Google’s strategy of recreating yet another App Store.

Can someone more familiar with these types of programs (whether Gemini's or another's) explain how these companies evaluate the trustworthiness of their borrowers?

Don't we have a marketplace already? If we take the game example we have Steam, Origin, Epic, and other stores competing to sell games. There are differences in offerings but they all still do a healthy business.

On the streaming video side it is even harder since we never license or pay for videos, just the ability to watch as long as the service persists.
It reduces saliva production. Saliva helps play a protective role in terms of oral health in basically all aspects, from my understanding.

It's possible for it to lead to increased clenching/grinding of teeth.

With that said....a decent diet and doing all the things you're supposed to be doing anyway in terms of oral hygiene and you ought to be fine. It's not a "you're going to ruin your mouth", it's a "pay more attention to this".

Bank accounts are FDIC insured up to $250,000 each.

If your broker lends out your stock to short sellers, it will always return your shares, even if the short seller gets margin called and doesn’t have the money to pay back their broker.

I’m not sure what you mean by “index fund”, but securities/stocks are protected by SIPC insurance, up to $500,000 per account. You will get your stocks back if a brokerage fails.

I gave up using anything other than VLC long before you did. [I'm not trying to play a trump card here, I'm saying you had a lot more patience on this than I did].

i have one of these exact humidifiers and also despise it. the amount of gross black mold that grew inside of it was truly incredible, unlike any other humidifier I've tried (and I've tried at least 4 others for multi-month periods).
The thing is anyone can build a system that can scale out to Slack's level given enough machines and money. What's harder is scaling out to that level and not burning gobs of cash.

It's similar to the whole buildings a long time ago last much longer than those today. Its true in the literal sense, but it ignores the fact that we've gotten at reducing the cost of stuff like skyscrapers and bridges.

In our pursuit of efficiency, we do things like JIT delivery, dropshipping, scaling, building to the minimum spec. Sometimes, we get it wrong and it comes tumbling down (covid, HN hug of death, earthquakes).
People say "pretty cheap", but a lot of reverse-osmosis filters I've seen are ~$150 to $450.

Also consider: it takes ~4 gallons of water to make 1-gallon of reverse-osmosis water. All water-purification methods have their own issues.

-------

If you plan to make distilled water (aka: boil water to remove impurities)... that's basically what a warm-mist boiling-type humidifier does _anyway_.

All good water-purification methods either take up a ton of water (ie: reverse osmosis) or a ton of energy (ie: distilled).
