I would argue that there are a couple of innovations here that haven't been tried (to my knowledge) by the previous attempts. One is the wifi directly connected controller (so it bypasses the display device for lowering input latency)

That would be true if you're thinking of Stadia as a subscription to get access to an all you can eat buffet of games (ie Netflix for games) but that's not the primary model proposed. The primary Stadia purchase model is that you

There is a lot of truth to "ignorance is bliss", a healthy dose of ignorance is often times necessary. What do you really gain by being all knowledgeable (and miserable)? Life is not a videogame that you win at the end by learnin

As long as "smart" TVs still provide for a way to not connect it to any network (this is true for Roku TVs too) it's all good and we can use them as dumb TVs. Yes, most people may not realize that's an option. But also,

Bringing these issues to the workplace you risk finding more than you want to know about your coworkers. Will you still be able to be professional and unbiased in your relationships at work if you find out what opinions your coworkers have

It's more like how having JavaScript enabled in a browser is "in principle incompatible with untrusted execution". That is to say, yes, you are technically right, but at the same time the benefits are great so we are still pu

Multiple ways: - through BIOS updates (so the motherboard OEM has to release a BIOS update for that model that includes newer microcode and you'd have to download/apply the update) - through the OS: both Linux and Windows can and

I don't doubt there's a lot of FUD around the perils of nuclear power but as someone that had to take iodine pills in 1986 I have to ask if you accounted for the large number of people that were forcibly moved out of their home as

Insider risk is not limited to "spies", there are lots of actors that may act against the best interests of the company in regards to how the access and use the data. There are procedures (basically layered security, auditing and

Please back this up and define the terms used. As in, define "tech companies" (name specific companies that do this and why you think that can be generalized to the entire industry) and define "careless" (it's a rel

If you think that a house bought today will see the same relative increase in value over the next 20 years then yes, you'd be right. I'd argue that seems extremely unlikely for a whole set of reasons but the time will who was righ

But to make some things clear for those that might be reading and aren't familiar with California politics, Prop 13 is not the result of some politicians voting against the public interest or being populist or our out of touch any of t

Plus, a lot of new library and language features are simply standardized versions of features that mature codebases had their own solutions for years, so "upgrading" to a newer C++ may also imply a long process of deprecating thes

I agree with this approach particularly at the start of one's career but I will add that once you find a problem space that you really want to advance the state of the art in, then you better get ready to spend a decade or more studyin

I think, like many things in life, there are advantages and disadvantages to this approach. The advantage, like you said, is to not get stuck doing the same thing for too long. Although I'll notice that when working in large companies

That's only extraordinary if you assume that: - those cameras functioned before that night, when they might as well have been broken for months and/or often broke - moving cellmates very rarely results in not having someone else m

Personally I was surprised how good the "intention search" algorithm is, most times I do not know the right exact terms to search for, especially when looking up things in a domain and the algorithm figures out what I actually wa

I don't know how much Dieselgate has affected VW's bottom line but what I do know is that as a consequence of the scandal: - new cars now come with 6 years warranty which is more than anything anywhere in that price range - their

That reminds me of a certain older movie (Underground, by Kusturica) where the main characters live for decades underground hiding from Nazi Germany not realizing the war was over long ago on the surface).

So what we need is a restriction of the officer being able to see the (potentially faulty) results, not a restriction of having facial recognition enabled?

It's a bit more nuanced than that. It seems to me that most PC gamers have no problems with exclusive PC releases as long as they are exclusive to Steam. It's when they are exclusive to other DRM-ed platforms that they start to m

I want to see graphs that support this assertion. Yes, I expect that in an area with higher income housing becomes more expensive, but so does everything else. Unless you can show data to prove this I really doubt that an increase of median

I would love if everyone that seems to be in support of a single player system would make a mental note right now that they were in support of it, and then years later after the US moves to such a system (seems pretty likely?) they review

The typical insurance company returns are pretty small (~5%) so that alone doesn't seem to explain why prices are so high.

Agreed! After moving to the US I particularly remember how hard it was to find sausages that do not contain any sugar (I can't stand the taste of sweet grilled meat, yuck!). We looked at what must have been 30+ different types

Out of DRM paranoia (before I discovered GOG) I used to have a separate Steam account for each game franchise and a Google Spreadsheet to keep track of them. About 15 accounts (yes yes, I don't own that many Steam games, luckily I dis

I think that both consumers have a right to do anything (legally) in their power to get the best price they can on a product and equally business have a right to do anything (legally) in their power to set up and enforce tiered pricing. Tha

Yes, but console games never get anywhere near the steep discounts or the sheer number of them that PC digital games get. I'm sure PC gaming can _survive_ this but surviving is not the same as "nothing will change" nor is it
