How is this different from codeanywhere ?


Good question. Codeanywhere is more like a remote IDE that let you connect to an existing development environment. Imperius spins up the development environment of your team in one click from cloud. You can use any tool including Codeanywhere to connect to Imperius and start coding :)


http://aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

The race is to get the longest shortened URL


its about time :)


Do you just add machine learning everywhere to get hype nowadays? There is nothing written about machine learning on the landing page, even if it is there. I don't think it does anything that a normal db look up can't do.


I think they are only focused on the future where almost everyone has fast internet.

I like the that they don’t have any load time. It doesn’t look like it’s going to support most games any time soon. It’s going to be mostly hype for a year , I feel.


I don't think they're being realistic about what the world is going to be like any time soon. While the 5th generation cellular protocols will be great for data in cities, it will still leave people in rural areas behind on 4th or earlier generations because the frequencies don't carry well over distances and the wired/optical backbones need to be in place.


In the US perhaps. The EU is aiming by 2020 to have 100% of homes have at least 30Mbps+ available if they want it, and 50% of homes actually using 100Mbps+ (https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/broadband-stra...).

20GB in an hour is about 44Mbps, so a 100Mbps connection is probably a good goal if you want Stadia to work well.

I'd expect high-speed connection uptake to be quite a bit higher amongst their target market, so over here betting than the majority of gaming users have 100Mbps+ at home isn't that crazy at all imo.


It's sort of a chicken and an egg problem though right? There's not enough demand to build out speedy rural infrastructure so it doesn't get built, and because it doesn't get built, nobody makes applications which would really increase demand.


Not really, you can build the applications for the billions of people who live in dense cities, and then let the rural population demand access to the same.


> I think they are only focused on the future where almost everyone has fast internet.

I don't think that future exists, and I don't think Google thinks it does either considering they abandoned the effort to make it happen.


If you look at it this way, there is no real measure to see which is a better place to live.

The only thing one can agree from this article is that some countries are expected to grow at a higher rate than others only due to a larger population. I think this only makes sense if everyone is educated and the unemployment rate is low.


People used to install these memory cleaners and anti virus apps and I used to tell them, they don’t do anything. And they used to say, if they do then you’re screwed. The logic is just wierd for me. Idk what to argue then.


This is just funny for me. India already is one of the countries where you can see waste everywhere.


Depends on the area. Some areas are clean, some areas are filthy. The city I live in is successfully reducing the usage of plastic. They banned plastic bags that are at a certain thickness (the kind you get in grocery stores). Everyone uses paper/cloth bags and lot of times its reused. Now the government authorities are talking with restaurants to see how they can reduce plastic on take out food.

At home, they collect plastic waste once a week. We are expected to clean the plastic properly and dry it before handing them over. I was really surprised to see how much plastic waste we generate every week in our 2 people household. Seeing that has motivated me to reduce waste as much as possible.

They are also replacing all the city public transport buses with electric. They had some trial runs and electric buses made good amount of profit for them. So hoping to see an all electric fleet in another 5 years. Another major source of pollution is the 3 wheeler auto rickshaws (tuk tuk). News reports say they will also eventually become electric.


That problem is being fixed, aforementioned article is one of the steps being taken towards that goal. Funny how "waste everywhere" automatically translates to let's dump more garbage in that country.


Nah, I don't find it funny. I find it nice that steps are being taken to stop this from happening.


It's only 1$.

You cant make something like this in 8.2 mins considering minimum wage is 7.5$ in USA. Why make things for free anyway, people rarely appreciate things they get for free.


That really wasn’t the question. I’m not asking why it is not free!

But off topic, > people rarely appreciate things they get for free

If people wouldn’t appreciate it, so many people wouldn’t create so many free software/plugin/tool/book/content.
