Itanium is why we can't have nice things. (Wishes SGI would have never tried)

Aliens

I don't see the context that explains that D = death and L = life. Maybe D could have stood for Dark and L for Light?

Exactly and to address the other child comment, those $1k phones have hardware to render AAA games now. Google doesn’t realize they don’t actually have a sustainable audience. It’s sad.

Let’s revisit this in a year.

Stadia has overcome the speed of light, so yes it's a viable product now and needs a response.

Considering their mission statement about making the worlds information universally accessible and contemporary goals around literary archival it’s not a stretch to believe they had history on their mind.

This is article so idiotic it makes me hurt. The researcher is quoted in the article saying it’s 10 years out. Blockchain??? AI?? What exactly is the competitive advantage?

Except Chinese use VPNs and this just keeps them from ever seeing the content now.

I think it's because that AdSense revenue is so sweet and so easy that nothing else is as interesting to the organization. Pretty difficult benchmark for competing products to show their value. It's like an oil rich nation investing in unrelated industries for which they have no history or pedigree in order to build a sustainable future.

Probably passed this bill to convince their spouses not to go digging into their browser history.

Nice ad hominem fallacy you got there

The intermediates are not realistic. There are many artifacts and they are obscured by the small, lossy video.

I feel like this will end up cannibalizing their engineers effort.

This is how Caltrain works also.

I wonder how long it takes in game to farm that much ISK.

This sounds like some grade A projection. His interpretation is sensible and follows from the article. Stop gas lighting.

Guess this guy was pleased with his slower processor too.

Probably not holding it the right way.

Social justice mammals are going to bring democracy to the rest of the animal kingdom, duh.

Good thing there isn’t more than one perspective on what is right and wrong. This could’ve been a meaningless platitude otherwise.

Yeah, I am sure there is some sort of KPI tracking engagement which helped to inform this behavior.

Three angle of attack sensors should have never been something that could be overridden by cost savings measures. The engineers wanted three sensors and the management said no without ensuring all planes sold had sufficient mitigating controls. We need justice.

tl;dr: technology in the late 90s and mid 00s gave power to users to be more social on their own terms, technology in the late 00s took power away from users and gave it to platforms to dictate social interaction with notifications

It appears that this dip in loneliness started as early as the late 90s when internet and cell phone technology was connecting us and enabling us to be more, deliberately, social. Perhaps in the late 90s to mid 00s we found the sweet spot for balance between social technology and loneliness. After the mid 2000s, Facebook became a thing, smart phones became ubiquitous, and user behavior was increasingly driven by non-deliberate means: notifications.

Notifications are making people miserable because its turned social into a fucking chore. You are less likely to have the social engagement you decided upon, and instead to have one generated for you by an algorithm.

Except for when it does (which in my experience is like all of the time).

SysV init was so full of fail (race conditions, no dependency management, slow as hell, stupid metaphors -- run levels? really?) that people wrote Systemd. Anyone can expand on systemd to have it do stupid shit it shouldn't. But you can do that with any technology that is composable. It does not mean that the core of systemd isn't anything short of incredibly useful.

What I am hearing is “Hey corporations, we have this great open source project and everyone should adopt it (including you!) just don’t try to contribute your changes upstream because they are toxic and serve your dirty, corporate needs. This project should serve the needs of the indie developer first, non-commercial developers second and commercial developers last.”

I never said they should work for exposure or that they should be happy with this system.

Do the corporations creating products with OSS have a more positive impact on the world than when they purchased their software? If so, isn’t that beneficial to developers? Isn’t it empowering as a developer to know that your software powers businesses and markets? Why do developers contribute code in the first place?

If Indie oss developers provide say 49% of the contributions to open source project ought they expect the same representation or recompense as a project with 90% indie developer contributions?

More philosophically: After you create something, how long do you get to own or control that thing and how it is used?

How long do indie oss developers think they should be able to dictate the future of the project? Is corporate investment in open source actually welcome?

Open source software is like oxygen, big companies can burn really big fires and individuals can light their candle with it. We are all responsible for replenishing the oxygen in the air by planting trees. If the oxygen dies, so do the fires. Likewise companies have pinned their futures on OSS. They are investing.

Edit: please downvote me dogmatic stallman types

It’s unfortunate that you forgot to mention that these indie oss developers are highly sought after for independent contract work or direct hire positions. Open Source software was never meant to pay the bills of open source developers, it was meant to open source code to the public and allow free use. To somehow read this narrative that indie developers are losing because others profit from their work is facile and not helpful.
