This is only true for games that can replicate their entire state in each packet.

There are many situations where this is infeasible and so you may be replicating diffs of the state, partial state, or even replicating the player inputs instead of any state at all.

In those cases the "latest" packet is not necessarily enough, the "timliness" property does not quite cover the requirements, and like with most things, it's a "it depends".

I'm def considering getting a pixelbook for my main machine this year now.

Probably as the first steps towards removing cash. Cash must be such a pain for a government, I'm surprised it is still around.

...but it feels like a bit of a hack. I have to have the laptop in dev mode and there's a slight fear that an automatic update might prevent the chroot from working, or that my stateful downloads directory might disappear.

My thought was that ChromeOS is kinda where OS X 10.0 was... a great UI on top of a great base that just works. That's what drove many of us to Apple when we got bored of re-configuring linux, it's what made many of us recommend Apple to friends/family.... Apple have dropped the ball, Google is in a pretty good place to pick it up.

I needed an emergency machine last week (My 2011 Pro finally died), and I opt'd for a £200 Chromebook (EDGAR), thinking all I need is a browser and a terminal right this second and I'd worry about what Apple is doing later.

A solid Linux laptop with working sleep, working wifi, great battery life. Tad underpowered but hey it's £200. I'm _really_ impressed.

If Google relaxed the constraints a little on the OS, or supported a Crouton-like workflow for containers without having to stick it in dev-mode, they could make A LOT of developers very happy.

What I'd love is if they could also make it an email client too. Letting me send/receive insecure emails or (if the recipient has Signal) encrypted email using the same key management. I'd much prefur to give out an email address (totally in my control) than a phone number (could be taken away from me at any moment).

One digital communication app please.

OK, here's a potential prediction that could bring about "uniforms"...

If we end up with some kind of ubiquitous augmented reality, we may end up styling ourselves like you would a game avatar, and even "themeing" everyone around us. In that world, it might make more sense to just all wear comfy grey onezies all day.

Of course all predictions like this are hilariously off... it'll probably be more like the entire earth bizarrely becomes a comfortable 23C and everyone just walks around in socks.

That's not really a viable solution. You cannot know the site you are about to visit has ads on it or not.

Nor does it define the exact kind of Internet Service Provider that the law is suppose to be enforced against. (Is this only suppose to apply to those supplying bandwidth or do all websites/services count?).

> Law enforcement agencies would not be able to make a request for the purpose of determining – for example – whether someone had visited a mental health website, a medical website or even a news website.

This seems to imply that there must be a whitelist of domains for which ICR collection is required. But there is no mention of such a list nor how it would be curated.

It seems to make up the relatively steep hill I live on, but I've never seen him use it to go down the hill. Guessing it gets bit sketchy fighting gravity.

The use case I had was along the lines of:

    * Bind/Expose a bunch of Go functions to N JS worker contexts.
    * Execute a large queue of JS-functions using the workers.
