The perspective shared here seems to be very focused on fundamental difficulties with AR passthrough devices: - lag is lower than other devices, perhaps low in absolute terms, but is it low enough? Perhaps not for all use-cases - ther

I feel like this article, like every other article about facebook, is based on a misunderstanding of what it is and how it should be used. It seems to me that everything on facebook should be to some extent a facade, an idealised version of

This then encourages free riding, no? In the general case, the goals of the company and the employee are not always aligned so I don't think this is an easy problem to solve.

There seems to be some recurring popular methods for habit formation and many diffent apps. Each product has its own branding and different twist but the most common themes seem to be (1)"not breaking the chain" (2) precommitments

Interesting and quite dense post - I had some trouble with the terminology so, for the other five people reading this.. CHO = carbon hydrogen oxygen (ie carbohydrates), N = nitrogen (ie proteins & purines)? This was hard to figure out f

The thing we don't always recognize is, there are constraints either way. Part of the process or designing or solving any problem is to realize what the constraints are - you're unlikely to fulfill any constraints you're not

Interesting article, but as it mentions, this is the latest in a series of breakthroughs in cancer treatment. What is missing for me in there is any idea of the number of people that this could affect. Medical statistics ( http:/&#x2F

This post highlights something that can be a problem with the contracting of workers. Namely, that Albert will be more in demand than Zip, despite having built an inferior system. The failure of the business, in real life, is probably not a

This makes sense, no? With less knowledge about the Ukraine and hence less information about the ties and affinity parts of its population have to Russia, the more aggressive Russia seems. Without that knowledge, you just have to take the p

The combined efficiency of an electric motor + fossil fuel power plant is still much greater than in a conventional internal combustion engine and therefore the environmental impact from the car is much reduced regardless of the fuel source

This is really awesome, and sounds like a great thing for people with diabetes (if the accuracy issues are solved). Further down the line, technologies like this could be a great thing for the rest of us too. We all experience peaks and tro

Do you know anyone who responds to incentives like that? No? Me neither...

Yeah, fair point. My reasoning was that introverted people, being more introspective, will just have seen less reactions and so be generally less able to interpret them. But, this could be balanced by other traits - for example, greater sti

"The reaction, then, had nothing to do with hipsters. It was a hatred of people that need to stand out for standing-out's sake." Isn't this close to the most common understanding of the word "hipster"? People t

So, what do you think is the prior probability of being a disgusting reprehensible goblin? And what is the difference in likelihood of poor fashion decisions between goblins and non-goblins? Seems like would be interesting to actually try a

Well, the problem is, that's different to real dice. And subtlely different to the expectation of how it should work. If you throw a die, you could, with enough fine motor control, throw to get the number you desired. Or, in roulette,

You make a good point, but perhaps its not so black-and-white as that. If the OP has no real relationship with more senior management, then it is indeed a risky move to take it there. But we don't have very much information to say what

I just bought the V-Moda remix earbuds, in large part because they seemed to get good reviews for durability. I haven't had them long enough to make my own judgement though. Also, they have a LOT of bass, which I love.

Hasn't education always been about providing systems that encourage people to challenge themselves and learn difficult things (and signalling)? I am sure that it has always been possible to go to the library and learn almost anything you mi

I think one of the best things about using pomodoros is that they're fairly short. It isnt THAT bad to have to restart one, if you get distracted. I find it more motivating; you always have a short-term goal to work towards.

Articles critical of the loss of privacy that comes along with social media often come up with this type of scaremongering. 'If you know someone that has bad credit, then you won't be able to get credit either'. Well, if your relationships
