I take heart when reading about recovered parts of expensive ashes.

But I firmly believe that no project is wasted especially one that pushed the boundaries of what is commonly done. All the people working there learnt something. They might apply their new found knowledge to other fields or future carriers. The money invested is not lost but converted into bigger brains.

I look at VC money in much the same way. It's not great when a startup fails. But a lot is learnt.

It's like how Google Docs' concurrent editing was born from the ashes of Google Wave.

I don’t believe that Google docs concurrent editing came from wave. I thought they were separate though I might be wrong.

i thought it came from etherpad

Yeah, like opening up BT in the Stadia controllers.

I wonder if they'll open source some of the streaming tech...

We can feel developer's bitterness from that sentence alone.

Stadia did impact my work a little, but not enough to matter to me. I'd be upset if I worked on it directly.
