VR will never have mass market adoption if they don't solve VR sickness first. Recent studies even show that it especially affects women due to physiological differences in visual and vestibular systems and may explains why only 5% of oculus/vive owners are females. Instead of funding lots of mediocre games, Oculus should really dedicate some resources in solving this particular problem, which excludes a large portion of our population from using VR.

Glad it’s not coming to my city!

Should come with a coin called coinsent

What a nonsensical article. Similar to Malcolm Gladwells revisionist podcast (episode: My Little Hundred Million) these awards predominantly go to well connected faculty at elite schools who are already well funded and who don't need the money (other than to add to their palmares). Many of these awardees are already millionaires. They should just split this award into smaller grants and give it to faculty/teachers at smaller unknown schools in the midwest. You don’t have to be a genius to see this would do more good.

The 1% owns this country and can get away with murder while Joe Schmoe is left holding the bag.

China invests in solar, renewables and R&D while the US cuts science funding and tries to keep coal alive. With the current leadership Chine will overtake the US much sooner than 2032 and rightfully so.

Yet these old folks all voted for trump/GOP. Good luck trying to make a living when they cut social security next year.

Oligarchy at its best: Aetna/CVS workers mostly making minimum wage and doing all the work while the CEOs earning insane paychecks. Would this guy really be worse off if he only made 50M and the other 450M would go to the employees?

Founders cashing out early with investors like Goldman Sachs left holding the bag? Not a bad proposition.

Because China doesn't believe in God but in Science. In the US we rather subsidize churches to the tune of $70B a year than to invest in computing infrastructure.

"Electric car buyers tend to be wealthier and don't need subsidies"

If that is so why are republicans proposing to cut the estate taxes?

hypocrites.

I think the demand for the iPhone X will be tepid. It is too expensive and no popular apps require that much CPU/GPU horsepower. My iPhone 7 still works great.

Yes the bar at Google is very high and after busting my ass all week solving ridiculously hard problems having someone drop a cold beer and nachos on my desk on a Friday afternoon shows that Google takes employee satisfaction very seriously

It doesn’t say anything about what it is to actually work at Google. Maybe rephrase to working in HR sucks. I doubt this person even worked at MTV. I worked at Google and it is an amazing place to work at (beercart Friday!) the only reason I left is because living in the Bay Area sucks.

Bitcoin will definitely go up when trump nukes rocket man this week

These ICOs are bad for the value of ETH, often millions are raised and then dumped the next day.

Monsanto needs to do a 180 and develop & research low cost weeding robots. GMO engineering solutions are only a stopgap measure
