Reply to comment by coffeesippingbastard in Alphabet is ramping up scrutiny of all its projects and cutting hiring in half as it tries to curb costs by chrisdh79
> I was surprised that GCP is losing 600mil/quarter. Either they have crazy scaling happening or something terrible is happening cost wise.
Datacenter build out and massive discounts to major companies to sign them up. I worked at a company that was dragged into GCP by our CTO and part of the reason was massive discount GCP gave us. Generally everything was half off list price with some stuff higher than that.

Reply to comment by Zagrebian in Google Stadia is dead and Nvidia GeForce Now gets a price cut – what’s going on? by Hyperion1144
It's not the wire to the household, it's the wifi to the device. Anyone living in shared area where frequencies are jammed to all hell is going to have latency issues. Since Stadia made more sense for casuals, they were probably more likely to be in area where wifi is very congested.

In general with all these companies is how they just let anyone sign up without doing serious amount of checking. FCC should enforce serious Know Your Customer regulations and hand out big fines for failing to do these checks.
