A pretentious naming convention that Apple uses to make their devices seem more important than they really are.

The fixed base station is a fundamentally different tradeoff for AR vs VR. Base station for AR would be detrimental, as you inherently want to explore and interact with the world around you. For most VR use cases that is not the case, and I

why do you need zero trust software for this? everything else is already being handled by a centralized authority (twitter), why not let them also handle letting users post anonymously after having been verified?

Even with “hard” requirements in advance, things are always subject to change, or unforeseen requirements additions/modifications will be needed. I don’t see why you can’t maintain the spirit of agile and develop iteratively while incr

it is something i have thought about occasionally. i don’t have a fully formed opinion, so am open to others challenging my logic here… i have come to accept that a strong military power can serve as a deterrent to others, and ultimately le

i foresee this as the main problem with a distributed, hybrid workforce. in my experience, you need to be all the way into one camp (remote) or the other (on-site) to reap the full benefits, otherwise you are just getting the downsides of b

I did the same exact thing (in many of the same cities as well). It was a blast. I agree this is the best way to try out a new place to live. Need to stay at least one month, but ideally 2-3, to really get a feel for a place. We made it aro

Is there research that proves that in-person teams are more successful than remote/hybrid ones? If not, I think remote/hybrid employees should be equal class citizens to on-site employees, and that should be reflected in a consist

What if you don’t have any “why”? How would you go about finding one?

Interesting question. I think there are those of us that enjoy following along with a discussion as opposed to directly participating in it. A “lurker” if you will. For myself, I like to do this to see opposing viewpoints on a topic, to hel

It is less about hitting it big, more about fulfilling a purpose / doing something meaningful with my life’s work. I suppose I am looking toward my job to provide that level of fulfillment, when it could conceivably come from elsewhere

One would assume so. Interesting to see the price rise in advance of the announcement. Maybe this punishment was seen as less severe than it could have been?

i am also very interested to know this as well. the absence of “irl” community is something i have thought a lot about over the years. seems nowadays most people hang out with either: 1. existing friends/family 2. coworkers 3. go onlin

i’m indifferent to that notion. if people would like to have children that’s fine. if not, that’s also fine. is there any reason why homo sapiens must be preserved, just for the sake of it?

doesn’t saying the volume evaporates instantly presumes that there is no real demand? (certainly a possibility) alternatively, could another stablecoin take the place of tether, without any fundamental change in crypto trading volume?

i’m sure that’s their cover story. but in reality they aren’t anywhere close to the level of self driving needed where you could give your full attention to the touch screen.

better would be that i can legally go to sleep and let the car drive the highway portion of my trip. then i wake up and complete the final leg of the trip. as you say, i don’t think this is entirely out of reach (even if it required special

“(1) the pandemic affected both groups in the same way, so that taking the difference between the two groups cancels out the pandemic effect“ i think this is a significantly flawed assumption. in my experience, the people that had been work

why do you refer to the black “ghetto” vs the white “neighborhood”?

sorry i should have been more clear, my comment was referring to factory farming specifically. i agree that small scale farming can be done in a more humane, ethical way. unfortunately, it does not scale to meet global food demand.

this sounds really interesting. i am personally very passionate about this space (reducing the impacts of factory farming due to unethical treatment of animals), but as a systems engineer (with degree in mechanical/electrical/soft

Systematic animal torture sounds dystopic. Why not attack that from all angles? Convince people to eat less meat and more vegetables…sure. But you will still have holdouts saying that they prefer the taste of meat. Hence plant based meat al

then those things won’t be developed. if human beings determine a need, then we should pay the price for their development. not force that onto “lesser” species.

Ultimately I am ok with that, but I understand it is a difficult ethical question. I am personally not ok with subjecting animals to torture, in order to extend human lifespans. It’s not something I would want done to me if a more advanced
