VR. Next two years are going to be pretty stagnant. The resolutions, etc. just are still enthusiast tier. But 10 years time? We could be seeing the beginning of the end of TVs, smartphones, cinema, social media, etc. as we know it today. VR

Oh man, I hadn't thought of this before but yeah I'd funnel a few quid to the right guys. Like Koan Sound are late on releasing their first full album, I'd pay to even just get an inside sample of the unfinished product right

Yeah they introduced ads in the past few months. Already looking for alternatives that have some resemblance of my existing SC library because of it. I will mourn the loss of SC as it has been a superior product to Spotify, but it's al

It can me infinite collisions. It does not matter. Conservation of momentum still applies. The system of collisions only have a finite amount of energy. And it's chaotic rather than engineered. So it's not cumulative, much more li

Between 6 months and 4 years ideally. 25 years max. If you can't prove reentry within 25 years in simulations you do not fly on the rocket at all in the first place.

You're right. It's not. At least there if I post something a conversation usually happens. Here, I post something and, at best, I get one reply total. While Reddit indeed has a load of crap at least some percentage of it is valuab

Spain has just come out last week and said that they are OK with Scotland joining the EU as long as England has signed of on Scotland leaving the UK first and the independence process being completed. The implication being that it would not

I've not been paying attention to 3D printing for quite a while now. Which companies are ruling the roost of desktop 3D printing these days?

Regulation. Having a full record of important conversations to fall back to for legal reasons is a big part of both corporate and governmental policies. Clinton's emails being deleted being an example of why ethereal messages are not t

The best businesses need to raise less money because they can fund themselves via profit or manage burn rate to a high degree via cost cutting. If you don't do one of those, you will need to raise more outside capital. Thus sell more o

A vast swathe of "the gamer audience" is on mobile though. The bulk of the numbers are people playing the likes of Candy Crush and Temple run, not COD or Halo. Just the ones who flesh out the most money for gaming.

I don't want a Jaybird so that's not a winning argument for why I would want these. I'm comparing them to my $90 noise cancelling over ear headphones that, while yes no exactly top tier, don't require their own charging

It's not just you. That's why there have been so much M&A. Interests rates are low so getting loans to buy out your competition. In a time when VC money has (relatively) dried up and growth in many industries has slowed your

The three usual metrics that are used are "Team", "Market" and "Product" with investors focusing more on one or the other. I'm fairly certain that investors who focus on team and market over the product me

I would argue that the idea is not quite mainstream yet outside the tech community. The tech community though is very concerned about UBI as we see automation barrelling down the line and making a large percentage of the population unemploy

4 and 5 are clearly not aligned. If they were, there wouldn't be the support that there currently is in volume for anti immigration rhetoric and policy.

Carmack tends to not particularly care what the business side are up to. He wants to focus on pushing the tech forward and not get bogged down with the office politics or PR spinning beyond what he's forced to do. Hence John Romero...

Any chance of getting it to work natively on android as a standalone library without cordova? Being able to integrate a library over Gradle into an existing app would be really really nice.

I wouldn't quite be going "Thank God!" if I was you on this news. It could end up that now when people go "Oh it's just like Lumosity" it could potentially be with the added tinge now of "Are you trying to
