Nice but I believe the handler to turn on sound didn't get brought over.
Agree, and it's worth it to point out this lazy and insidious usage of "we".

Here's Christopher Hitchens on this habit, in the first paragraphs of an early essay called "The `We' Fallacy":

> Lionel Trilling once wrote a short essay on the problem of ‘we’. Apparently, whenever he said of a novel or other work under review that it engaged ‘our’ sympathy, or that ‘we’ felt repelled by the author’s assumptions, he would receive letters of complaint. Who was this ‘we’, the letterwriters demanded to know, and what allowed Trilling to speak for ‘us’ in this way? The literary critic’s experience may not seem immediately relevant to contemporary politics.

> But as one surveys the dismal field of political commentary, it is hard not to conclude that half the cretinism of the mainstream media is attributable to the ‘we’ fallacy. This is especially true in any discussion of imperialism. There is talk of ‘our’ interests, ‘our’ credibility, and ‘our’ will. [...]

The page purchased by Sideri is of particular interest to scholars.

It’s a treasure both because of its age and condition, which is far better than the other page in the Colby collection, said Megan Cook, Sideri’s former professor, who teaches medieval literature at Colby.

The parchment is worth upward of $10,000, according to Davis. But Sideri said he has no intention of selling it.
...
“This is something at the end of the day that I know is cool,” he said. “I didn’t buy this expecting to sell it.”

Ah, he's already positioning with "No lowballers, I know what I've got."

> Complete deletion of data from our servers is equally important for users’ peace of mind. This process generally takes around 2 months from the time of deletion. This often includes up to a month-long recovery period in case the data was removed unintentionally.

So 30-day recovery period, then another 30 days for all backups to be scrubbed (I think).
Open-source does not mean we do not have a sustainable business model. We offer enterprise license for specific plugins and hosted solutions as well. The difference is that you can read our code, audit it and self-host the full platform with less frictions. Kafka and Airflow are also open-source but the commercial company backing them are thriving. Plus if we were to disappear, the project would continue to go forward.
You know, the day Stadia launched, someone very cynically set up http://stadiacountdown.com/ and it won't end up very far off from the truth. sigh

Honestly, I'm glad Google was willing to take a bet this big - they had a lot of serious infrastructure innovations to make this work that may end up paying off in other ways, and a company that's not willing to make big bets has a 0% chance of having a new bet land...
> The fault is to some degree the design of the road.

What specifically about the design of the road? You allude to the fact that it allows for traffic to move at high speeds in close proximity to cyclists and pedestrians and this is one of the factors behind why the crash happened. But this particular crash didn't involve a motorist running off the roadway and crashing into the cyclist. The article states that the cyclist was in the left lane on the far side of the road just before the crash.

This indicates that the motorist never left the roadway and that the cyclist was on the roadway. Given the fact that there's no mention in the article about the motorist failing to comply with a traffic signal, it also indicates that either the cyclist was crossing mid-block outside of the crosswalk, or was crossing in a crosswalk without waiting for the walk signal.

Going back to the road design, the point that it allows motorists to drive at higher speeds is one factor. But what other factors would lead to someone attempting to cross against a light or outside a crosswalk? From a pedestrian point of view, having to walk relatively far to even get to a crosswalk is one thing to consider. Another thing to consider is how long they have to wait for a walk signal. These factors lead to pedestrians crossing without a walk signal or mid-block.

For a cyclist, the amount of time to get to an intersection isn't as much of a factor because you can move far faster than walking pace when riding a bike. So that leaves the amount of time it would take to wait for the walk signal as a factor that would encourage non-compliance.

Besides slowing traffic down, what else can be done to improve safety for cyclists? Could we promote cyclist education where they learn how to navigate intersections in a vehicular manner? Could we improve traffic lights so that they they can detect cyclists and chagne in a reasonable period of time to discourage non-compliance before crossing an intersection?

For pedestrians, could we provide more frequent crossing points? Could we improve pedestrian signal timings so that they don't have to wait so long for a walk signal?

Consumers also prefer if they get their shit for free. See how long your business lasts if you do that.

Satisfying the consumer's every preference is not evidence the consumer, the employee, or the business will be served in the long run.
> Seriously! That licensing is a feature for the public, not a bug. Make your project open source.

It's ok for activists to feel that free software is the solution to every problem in the world, but back in the real world there are projects for which open source is not an option and parroting activist mantras is not helpful.

It actually just means they're using DOCSIS to carry the signal, which has asymmetric bandwidth allocations for upstream and downstream. 600/100 is a standardized allocation too.

>Tell me, for the OGApp what is the monetization scheme? How do they intend to make money? By default if you don't see anything upfront you should assume that your data is what is being monetized. And your data in this case includes everything the app can pull down from Instagram while it's acting as a proxy.

I have no idea. I'd never heard of this app as I don't ever use whatever functionality it provides.

I'm not saying these folks are saints, I have no idea what sort of people they are. If it makes you feel better, I'll posit that they're scumbags who would sell their own mother for a nickel.

But that doesn't change the fact that I (or anyone else, for that matter) should be able to use the client of their choice for anything. If that's not the case, then Meta (or HN, for that matter, if they decide to be as scummy as Meta) would be within their rights to decide which browser you use to connect to their properties, and what add-ons you install in that browser.

Sorry, that's not an acceptable solution[0].

>If they want their app to be trusted then it should be made open source.

You won't get any argument about that from me. But even if these guys are all clones of the anti-christ scheming to destroy humanity (for the record, I have no idea and make no value judgement about the ethical standards of the app publisher and its employees) by creating a subset of the data Meta already collects, if I (or anyone else) decides they want to use that software on their personal property, who's to say what can or can't run on that hardware?

I don't (and wouldn't try to) speak for anyone else, but my property belongs to me and I will run the software I choose on my property. That has nothing to do with Meta or the publisher of the app discussed in TFA. Rather, it's about my control of my property. Full stop.

[0] My objection is one of principle, not about any specific software. And I stand by that objection.

Location? Germany has huge amounts of wind, especially in offshore. Your own map even shows this.
We also have plenty of solar, enough that the conservatives introduced a solar installation LIMIT to keep fossil fuel and nuclear competitive.

As for storage, with large enough over-capacity it's really easy to retrofit old coal plants to work off head capacitors, and we have plenty of those.

It's just no good if there is no political will to do it.
And the "nuclear narrative" is one of the whataboutisms together with "breakthrough hydrogen tech" to distract from the solutions that are cheaply implementable today.
It seems plausible that social networks have more of a network effect than things like a game streaming platform. Obviously there's still some network effect and a certain marketing aspect to it, but I don't think they're directly comparable.

Regarding globals, defaulting to local scope is a thorny design choice. Try this in python:

def make_counter():
def incr(x):
total = total + x
return total
total = 0
return incr

I think Lua would be a better language if they were to eliminate global variables entirely, and flag as a load-time error any undeclared variable that is not present in the environment supplied to `load` or `loadfile`.

Setting __newindex on the global table to throw errors is a not-too-bad solution, but these will be run-time errors, so to catch them all you need good code coverage (yes, you want that anway) and uncouth third-party libraries can trigger those errors.
All that means is that people who choose games where lag is annoying pick Steam because that's where the lag is lowest. It's not a canonical list of all games.

My google failure sensors were honed on reader and google plus. In fact I just rejoined a company I worked at before Google and they had adopted Currents- Google's workspace version of Google Plus. Folks tried to get me to use it and all I could say was: I will never use Google Plus again. We are shutting down our Currents because... nobody ever uses it.

There's several factors at play. First, Google simply does not have any ability to compete in the consumer gaming space because they don't understand it. Second, to make the project work required an enormous expenditure across hardware, software, deployment, and game studios. If the product wasn't absurdly successful, it would be a failure simply because its profit margins would be low. Third, there's no real way to make money doing machine learning on gamer behavior (the way this works in mobile, where many games including ads) so the profit margin would be low. Fourth, I saw a number of preeminent engineers who worked on the project leave shortly after it was launched, or some time later (when it first started becoming obvious the project wasn't a hit). Fifth, leadership pitched this as something that only Google could do, that Google's unique hardware and physical presence in POPs meant they would have significant advantages was obviously wrong (multiple companies always had the technical acumen and production infrastructure to make this happen).

What really blows me away is how close Google Cloud is becoming to something that Google would have to cancel because they can't get the profit margins to compare to ads.

(https://github.com/serenity-rs/serenity/pull/1899).

With forced functional programming, you may be referring to serenity's builders? For example

.send_message(|m| m
.content("text")
.embed(|e| e
.description("...")
.timestamp("...")
)
.components(|c| c
.create_action_row(|r| r
.create_button(|b| b
.style(ButtonStyle::Primary)
.label("press me")
.custom_id("button1")
)
)
)
).await?;

In the next breaking release (`next` branch in git), we have a new by-value builder style which has
turned out to be a better design in many ways:

.send_message(CreateMessage::new()
.content("text")
.embed(CreateEmbed::new()
.description("...")
.timestamp("...")
)
.components(CreateComponents::new()
.add_action_row(CreateActionRow::new()
.add_button(
CreateButton::new(ButtonStyle::Primary, "button1").label("press me")
)
)
)
)

And a PR is open to make the API even better (replace redundant CreateComponents with Vec<CreateActionRow>) and more will be coming presumably.

Does this seem more rusty to you? We're open to more criticism - developmenet on serenity is quite active currently (e.g.
52 PRs merged in the last month)
Even if it wasn’t massively popular as a gaming platform, I thought it could be pretty profitable as marketing for games, where you can actually demo the game from a web browser and try it before buying it. This could be either directly on e-commerce sites or ads on Google.com. I’m surprised that they didn’t do more with that before killing it. If you could show having a Stadia demo increases conversion rates and sales, it would be really useful even if gamers don’t acquire Stadia gaming libraries.

I wonder if they could’ve sold it off to Netflix or something instead of killing it.

I have a Stadia and actually liked it even though I thought the go to market execution was bad. Also the latency made it problematic for multiplayer games, so I just played single player content.
(this is from 2010)
It's a charming idea, kind of whimsical. I like that. But the screen really seems too small, even for writing. I recently bought a used ThinkPad X220 for 180€ (typing on it right now). OK, the battery won't last 100 hours, but I'd take it any day over this.
Yep, I'd love to try it out, will join the discord!
This was not my point. I said anybody should be thought the skills to find a solution for this themselves if they want to. Even if you end up hiring someone or pay for a finished product having a basic idea what a thing entails and how it could be made is a useful skill to have in any evolving techological society.
That works great for a service where costs scale with users so you can run lean in beta.

Unfortunately I don’t think Stadia fits that description well; you need to build hardware, network PoPs, license games, etc.

Maybe there is a private-beta approach that really iterates, initially uses off-the-shelf hardware, only launches in one state, has limited games, etc. but it’s hard to make a splash like that.

I think if Stadia had just been better (so everyone using it was raving about it) the Google reputation might not have mattered.

It just ended up not being a game-changer economically, people still want to buy consoles etc.

The model of thin-client gaming might win long-term but it’s just not a clear winner yet.
My inner dialogue is stronger than any attempt at meditation, it thrives on me even trying.
I wonder if, in future months/years, we'll still see comments complaining that Google's reputation for killing products is unfair and exaggerated by a loud minority who are bitter about Google Reader. I recall a few comments making this argument in defense of Stadia's long-term viability.
> If you don't know whether you need something, you don't need it.

That's a bad approach for security.

Starting with the solution is the wrong way to do it, but you certainly need to actively look if you have problems.
I guess it's okay for you then that the Taliban and ISIS destroyed historical artifacts in Afghanistan and Iraq? It's not for me. These artifacts are the common heritage of mankind and need to be protected and preserved for the benefit of everyone alive today and into the future.

this is probably what is going to happen - actually the least worst option. However, such a reversal will not fully restore confidence as any U-turn will not come at political cost to Truss / Kwarteng but also to UK Gov / Conservative party leadership as a whole - it would be admitting that they don't know what they are doing. There will be an economic price for that also

Google's reputation is dooming GCP. On the one hand you want to say "GCP is way to big for Google just to kill" but you never know, which makes the decision to use AWS all that much easier.

It really isn't. That makes as much sense as claiming that DevOps is just a sysadmin that's also a developer.
The ideal situation is when it looks organic that way but is also a carefully orchestrated PR campaign behind the scenes.

> They're a plateau'd species leeching off the planet barely surviving in the balance of nature, like pretty much every species except humans.

That is a ghost pepper spicy take.

In what way does any species plateau? An extant species is either a) Going extinct, b) Well adapted to its environment, or c) Adapting to evolutionary pressures through natural selection.

Instead of "leeching" I would describe them as living in symbiosis with their ecosystem.

Instead of "barely surviving in the balance of nature" I would describe them as... well, surviving. And that against the onslaught of the Anthropocene.

I like humanity as much as the next guy but your comment has a stunning degree of anthropocentrism.
Don't they have competitors that are doing better than Stadia? Eg, geforce now?

It matters for MMOs. If there are two pro gamers A and B both with 100ms reaction time, but gamer A has 10ms ping while gamer B has 30ms ping, gamer A has a consistent advantage. This is not strictly a Stadia problem but it may be exacerbated if the display data adds latency on a slower line.
