Small nit: if you actually read your citation, it's not Norvig's law, but Proebsting's law[1]. It's a pessimistic spoof of Moore's law, but IMO just reflects how much closer to optimal we started from than the first

In my defense I was thinking of the GPUs and servers, not the client devices (does stadia have clients?). In that scenario, might HW be capex -- a durable good you buy and use for many years, and can sell if you no longer require it?

But it does kind of explain why an employer might pay them to offer candidates mock interviews -- it makes the not-mock more predictive.

Okay, fair, design costs have to be amortized across the userbase, and probably the correct solution to this is to build hardware people want to use with or without Stadia, so your design isn't anchored down. I.e. I can (and do) pair P

I mean, its a complicated and slow process. State funding of colleges has been on decline for ages -- every time a recession hits the university system gets another budget cut but its rare to see the cuts restored when the economy recovers.
