What do you consider a "baseless rumor"? There's an anonymous source behind this one, and while we obviously don't know who the source is, I wouldn't consider that "baseless". Take it with a grain of salt, sure, but that's true for any rumor.
Also, you seem to be implying that you also have an anonymous source at Google (or are one yourself). Either way, the credibility of your comment isn't any better than that Twitter account, even if you think HN commenters are "higher caliber" than people on Twitter.
- endisneigh 4y agoAnonymous sources providing nothing but a statement are baseless. Stadia will exist by the end of the summer. You don’t have to believe me. Like I said feel free to come back to this thread in October.
- jjulius 4y ago>Anonymous sources providing nothing but a statement are baseless. To the parent commenter's point, you said, "This is absolutely false". Do you have actual evidence otherwise, or are you making baseless conjecture based on, well... baseless conjecture?
- endisneigh 4y agoMe not having evidence doesn’t mean it’s not true. Indeed my statement is equally dubious as the Twitter one. However you’ll see that I’m correct by just coming back to this thread in October. Proving a negative is generally difficult to begin with.

- jjulius 4y agoThen I'm really not sure what your intent is here. After all, you said it yourself... >Believing baseless conjecture is dumb imo. So, it's dumb to believe baseless conjecture, but we should believe your baseless conjecture that someone else's baseless conjecture is wrong.
- endisneigh 4y agoYou don’t have to believe anything. Just wait and see
