I actually really dislike this sentiment. Gamers being upset they can't access secret content on a first, blind playthrough means that developers are incentivised not to include secret content.

It seems inconsistent to complain about needing outside knowledge to find something when the only reason you know about it is from outside knowledge. There can be joy in going in fully-blind and there can be joy in following a guide like a list of chores but the no-man's land in-between leads only to disappointment and spoilers.

(this is also why I don't watch movie trailers or read book blurbs)
It's also possible that people want there to be changes but these one-off aren't it. Sure, Mark might get his account back, but what about the hundreds or thousands in similar situations who didn't have the good fortune of national press? Mark getting his account back might quell the anger of the public and delay the changes for the rest.

The other major option might be that there's no agreement on where the line should be drawn (categorically, objectively). It's easy in a one-off, but codifying can be extremely difficult.

I'd point to the analogy with free trade. There's an argument, which holds up most of the time, that the benefits of free trade are so large that almost everyone benefits. (which seems to have been the case most of the time when people have been worried about automation and job losses)

It turned out not be the case, however, for workers in the US when trade was opened with China in the 1990s because the magnitude of that change was so vast.

Another case to look at is the mechanization of agriculture which tends to be associated with a "demographic transition" which is frequently associated with population displacement, genocide and democide.

Why did American blacks, for instance, move to northern cities in the mid 20th century? I think it was because the mechanization of agriculture eliminated jobs. Before then there was discrimination but blacks had a place in the rural south. When the jobs went away there was pressure in the south to drive the unemployed out.

The social conflicts caused by the mechanization of agriculture were severe in the Soviet Union and Maoist China and one could make the case that the associated demographic changes had a lot to do with what went down in WWI and WWII.
IPv4 packets and processing code have exactly one 32-bit IPv4 source/destination and would not work. That's not how I interpreted the request. I took the point as "IPv6 as a standard should have been designed to take an IPv4 address and convert it reliably to a specified IPv6 address, which we would set up to route to the same location." That is, old software that requested an IPv4 address could have it translated by the OS into an IPv6 packet before transmission deterministically, people with memorized IPv4 address could use them in the future, etc.
There is T-Mobile equipment on my building. They are connected to the diesel generator circuit (shared with the elevator) and have battery backup.
Hope not. I use that to barely have a cellphone service and not have to pay much when I don't really use it :)
Hopefully this means they will release the streaming rights for PUBG, so it can finally come back to GeForce NOW?

Ever since they banned keyboard & mouse PUBG play (forcing you to use the game controller) I pretty much gave up on Stadia.
It's not a comment about the fact that the document itself can be bought and sold. It means that the physical integrity of the document is metaphorically "for sale". If damaging the document (by cutting it up) leads to more profit, then there are people who will choose profit over preservation.
I'd also mention that C and C++ is valued by those who want stable and reliable software stacks, which you can expect to build out of the box in 3 to 5 years.
Nobody? Apparently you are unaware of:

A healthy amount of traffic that is ever increasing.
Have you tried it though? It's so much better than any other streaming game service from Xbox or PSN

When cyberpunk came out, it was crashing everywhere except the stadia version. I've rarely had performance issues with a stadia game, and even playing over 4g is pretty good.

The technology almost works like magic here.

Now if only there had been more games on it and if people didn't dismiss it before it even launched it MAY have had a shot (and I guess if Google didn't have a knack for killing off things).

I am fully convinced that stadia represents a good future for gaming, and as hardware costs go up with sinking bandwidth costs, I am sure the concept will come about again in a similar way.

The GP was saying that if children arrive hungry for school, they're being abused by their parents; who should be arrested as criminals, and their children taken into care or adopted. Did you miss that bit of the context of the comment?
'Quiet quitting' is a phrasing where employers and employers' media control the narrative.

If I am B2B I am not giving a customer 'more service' than what is being asked.

If I am a consultant I am delivering _exactly_ what is spec'ed by who's hiring.

If I go to a lawyer or an accountant and ask them to 'go the extra mile' they will ask me to go contact another professional.

The asymetry of employer/employee dynamics _specially_ in american and asian cultures is really quite impressive.

Tech is reflexive. Since most tech/saas companies sell/support other saas companies, they all go down.

The point is most of what Discord provides is low value for the resources it demands.
This is correct. Reason: it's already technically possible to transfer games between platforms, the reason it's not done is financial, legal and political.

Nonsense. Apple and Microsoft are both objectively thriving under their respective current CEOs, who have both made some tough calls and been responsible for important new products, and both now have sufficient road behind them that we can believe in their ability to call shots for the long term to at least some degree. These companies are not just treading water.

I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone outside Facebook has much respect for Zuck in terms of decisionmaking for products or anything else in particular. This may look different to a Facebook employee, of course.

Apple is rejecting apps that contain function names matching private APIs
I got a warning today when submitting my app that said I was using a private API function. Turns out they've essentially blacklisted certain function names that match anything in one of their private frameworks. Renaming functions (making a breaking change) is apparently necessary to avoid this: https://github.com/realm/realm-swift/pull/7951
I could tell you a mathematical joke but that would be going off on a tangent.
Note that I'm not a big proponent of current consumer VPN products. They're useful for some things, but I think people are generally confused about what those things are. But on a technical level, these companies are well-positioned to facilitate self-hosting. That's what I'm interested in. The egress benefits are fairly orthogonal to that as far as I'm concerned.

That said, what makes you think ISPs are less incentivized than VPNs to sell your data? There are VPN companies that have "proven" in court that they are unable to provide logs of user activity. That earns way more of my trust than I'd give any ISP.

> IP addresses are not even really used anymore for fingerprinting

IPs are used by ISPs for issuing DMCA emails.

> It sounds like you're trying to advocate for using VPNs for anonymity

I'm not. It's all about what you're trying to hide from whom. True anonymity is extreme and comes at a high cost in terms of performance.
My 2yo smashed my Oh So Smart TV with the remote and I got a spare dumb TV and plugged in Chromecast into it since everything is streams nowadays.

Dear God how annoying it is to use. Buggy, laggy, drops randomly ... still can't play videos from my computer in an easy way.

I forgot how bad Chromecast were since I last used it 5 years ago.
This is another reason I wish we had more anonymous forums - truly anonymous, not pseudonymous.
To be blunt...

Employees are a resource provided by "the public" (they are the public).

The materials that businesses use are pulled from land whose allocations are supported by the public (through our court systems, our land surveying, our military protections... our general idea of land ownership)

The roads people use to shop at those businesses, or that those businesses use to acquire goods are funded by the public.

The internet that businesses use to sell things online - funded by the public.

The ports/planes that businesses use to import/export goods outside of the community? Funded by the public.

I agree that it can absolutely be a virtuous cycle, though. I support the idea of allowing businesses the freedom to innovate and make choices, and I think we allow those rewards to flow back to those owners to incentivize that (literally - we're talking about capitalism now).

What I utterly, completely reject - is the idea that these businesses are free-standing entities that are not at all beholden to "we the people" simply because they happen to be private. That's lunacy. The relationship must be symbiotic, and when it's not... regulations should be put in place to force them back to that state.

I'm a firm believer that we want to stay in the middle ground between communism and unregulated capitalism. Stray too far either way... and things get ugly and we start killing each other over it.
I think they might have made it if they went with a gamepass style service, pay a fee per month, get access to the full catalogue of games, you could even bundle it with youtube premium.
You feel entitled to it at a certain price but it isn’t yours. Voting for it to be available to be yours doesn’t make it yours.

Just pointing out that it isn’t like you’re talking about your country’s national reserves that are being sold elsewhere instead of to you.

I don’t mean to sound disparaging but a good set of winter clothes will ensure survival through the winter better than whatever gas/price ratio you feel entitled to.
...of which the computer is not the source.
This is really hyperbolic. Facebook is not even closely comparable to those. Additionally, there's no market indication that won't be a need for services like AWS or hardware provided by Apple.

It's really weird how many people seem to _want_ the tech industry to just wither and die. It's unlikely and unrealistic. There may be a sharp correction, but it's unrealistic to think that the behemoths with a moat are going anywhere.
Its on average around 0.5m/day, but could be up to 1m/day. Gravity is too strong force, and they are not tightly bonded to bedrock. I would expect that in hard winter they move much less but still some.

That's how they keep discovering dead alpinists (more like parts of them, ie Reinhold Messner's brother Gunther on Nanga Parbat who died there in 1970, I think it was piece of femur bone and shoe) in Alps and Himalaya, everything that falls down on glacier or into crevasse eventually ends up at the snout of glacier (or river flowing from it).

Their overall accelerated melting due to climate change just accelerates all this since glaciers retreat higher and higher.
This is a bit sad.

Stadia was pretty cool while it lasted. I was a Stadia subscriber for a while. Great technology, but (mostly) crappy games. The store was also pretty lame with just a huge list of (mainly B-list) titles, and no indication of whether something was good or not.

With a better game library and a better store, Stadia could be a winner. Shame they didn’t just partner with Steam!
These are mostly being sold off. Even the US military is thinking about selling.

Such a poor plan. Dropping this in a Q&A means that nothing else said will be remembered. It's also being implemented in a completely asinine way: "individual teams will sort out how to handle headcount changes". Take no culpability for anything, and ensure that the confusion and anger targets the bottom-most level of management. What a classy move!
> There are plenty of good arguments against nuclear but most often the ones used are not that great.

I suspect that the cost-based anti-nuclear arguments aren't really meant for the crowd that understands budgeting or long term planning, since the arguments tend to highlight numbers out of context. It's really meant to create short, stand-alone soundbites that could be repeated in social media posts and news articles.
Of all FAANGs I expect FB to be the first to sink. I see the writing on the wall..

The top 4th and 7th comment on the Stadia launch post on HN sort of predicted this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19432957

During those times I thought HN was being overly pessimistic as usual about a product being killed by Google, but now it is pretty understandable, especially as despite Google’s headstart that they were overtaken by Nvidia, Microsoft, and others in this space.

The Chernobyl disaster was a big part of it. I wasn't old enough back then, but my parents told me how people were told to not play outside with the children, not to drink milk, eat things and so on. No one really knew what was going on. That fear has always been a big part of the anti-nuclear movement here in Germany.

Unemployment today in the USA is 3.7%. Practically speaking this is near the bottom. It's literally not possible to get to 0%.

We have had decades, if not more, of automation and there's no affect on employment. So there are no jobs lost so far due to automation. So why exactly would I expect this trend to change?

>For example, I'm a construction worker building houses. Then let's say a technology completely replaces my job because it's 10x less expensive than hiring me. I've lost my job. However, as companies compete using that technology to build houses more and more efficiently, the cost of housing would theoretically go down.

The cost to construct a house is nowhere near the value of a house.

>1.Does automation actually reduce cost of living? (in an economy where competition is allowed)

What is the cost of living in an inflationary environment. Cost of living won't ever go down, the purchasing power of your time will go up.

Imagine living in san francisco and detroit.

You can live in detroit, have your mortgage paid off on a detached home with garage and pool. You can go eat whatever you want. You can sign up for any service. You can buy any gadget.

To do the same in SF would require a salary whole orders of magnitude different compared to detroit.

>2.Is the cost of living reduced enough to compensate for the people losing their jobs?

If someone is automated out of their job. They go find a new job. So far we haven't run out of jobs. Yes the stableboys and horse trainers are out of a job today.

>3.How much does the PACE of automation play a factor relative to other possible factors?

The world is a big place. You can imagine the fastest rate of automation using automation and tesla's new humanoid robots and boston dynamics robots.

No matter how good all that is... you can never automate many other jobs. Artisans, artists, etc.

Yeah, I'm with you, and then I read 83K employees doing Metaverse? Simply amazing! That must be at least 20 billion dollars a year! The correction in the tech sector has plenty more correcting to do it seems.
The lobbies get very crowded around 9 and 5, and so do the elevators near them.
At some offices, the exit only doors are in significantly more convenient locations.
Let's do a little math. Let's say you want to buy a gaming PC and have a budget of $1000. Let's also assume you play 1 hour of video games a day, 5 days a week. That is 20 hours a month.

At 20 hours a month you would have to play for 50 months (4 years) on your machine before you pay off the machine. Alternatively, you could spend that same money on the streaming service. I think the math doesn't hold up if you are a casual gamer. Building a PC and maintenance just isn't worth it.

That being said, if you play a lot more, maybe even 15-20 hours a week, I think it makes a lot of sense to build your own machine (I have one and it was very worth it when I was a serious LoL player).

I think this is very human reasoning.

People laugh at Preppers and call them crazy for taking prudent preparedness steps as insurance against future risks. It's a very human thing to do.

During the early days of COVID, some people started coming around to preppers being not-so-crazy-after-all, which lasted for precisely a few months before the toilet paper returned and preparedness being an acceptable idea left mainstream thought.

Expediency and lifestyle will always trump prudence in the human mind. It's the primary reason we will eventually exterminate ourselves, regardless of the specific existential risk we succumb to. The Great Filter is no great mystery.
I think the only person ideologically driven here is you.
Spying on remote employees is the result of managers not being able to draw conclusions about worker's productivity from their output. This obviously points to more serious internal problems.

My issue is that the "public" wouldn't get to say how things are done, the "government" does. The government isn't controlled by the majority because of both the method that the Federal government is set up where Montana has the same number of Senators as California, the Electoral College and gerrymandering.
I have no desire to give the government more power. I can leave Google much easier than I can leave the US. Google also doesn't have a "monopoly on violence".
What's the benefit of using Cloudflare over GitHub Pages, if you're still using GitHub to host the repo?
Sorry, but as a player, I honestly can't tell where that effort went... feels like they abandoned it as soon as it launched.

Even at the time of its death, crossplay, cross save etc. didn't work except for a tiny handful of games. The Stadia Plus Chrome extension made a bunch of improvements on their own. There was never a desktop app. No ultra wide support. No RTX. Never got vsync working right.

In the years it was alive, what did they add? How come GeForce Now saw such activity and Stadia got... nothing? I wouldn't blame the people working on it, but some manager in Google really screwed that up.
At least my comment includes some reasoning (งツ)ว
It seems like within the last two weeks they changed how Shorts and Chromecast works, where I'm at least able to cast the video.
Hardware is well understood to be OpEx intensive, and have high up-front costs. Look at the pricing for injection mold dies for example. The opposite of a good fit for an iterative approach.
No one said anything about tech dying (I said startups), but a repricing for sure.

We don't even know the market demand for these products because cheap money has made everyone a startup founder, and every company pivoted to providing a "tech" solution when it might not have been economically viable or provided any profit.
To me, it's completely obvious the truth is the exact opposite. I feel like only someone who is no longer thinking rationally can claim that Russia would blow up their own pipeline and make it impossible, even after hostilities cease (yes, they will cease one day, they always do... or are you still hostile to Germany?), to get billions and billions of easy Euro flowing down on its coffers.

If you know history you should understand that a "small" even like this, in a highly volatile situation like we have now, could easily trigger an irrational war no one can win to start. I would think that Putin knows that very well, so it's not imaginable to me that he would risk.

Could someone who feels so strongly against Russia, given all the news we're being fed daily in the West, actually want NATO to enter this conflict directly to finally "destroy" the enemy (which seems to be the only thing that will make Putin give up on Ukraine's East)?? I feel like, given responses like yours, that's exactly what's going on. You believe Putin is so murderous that he would just blow up one of his country's main sources of income, which he supported (against American strong opposition) for so many years, just "to send a signal" he will blow up Poland's main source of energy if the West doesn't back off... I can totally see someone who believes that also believes the only acceptable thing to do right now is to start a full scale war against Russia.... which would be so disastrous to humanity that, once we look back before that happened, we will wish we had just had the balls to freaking sit down with the Devil himself and have a talk and resolve our issues if that would've prevented Armagedon.
