The nature of free market is competition. And the nature of competition is to get more profit out of less people. It means longer hours, more focus, less complaint, less life. You think new technology is gonna save the poor workers coz it boosts productivity? Only temporarily until everyone has it. Then It's the same game all over again, pushing out new features, new compaigns, re-org, transformation around the clock.

Once one player in the market starts to work the longer hours, it's guaranteed to spread to every corner. Coz you need to up the game and catch up with the competition.

Endless grind.

Cell on my phone contributes like less than 10% of total battery consumption. The most goes to screen and cpu. So there's limited improvement for 5G in this. But for IoT devices in which comms use most of the battery, this could be significant. However, it's debatable whether spending on billions of dollars on a regional 5g network is an optimal solution for a more durable IoT infrastructure. In my understanding, there should be a more economical way to build an efficient IoT infrastructure since most of them don't need that much data speed.

I guess Rift S has lower manufacturing cost because it can share some parts with upcoming Quest. The same tracking, the same controllers. And since they are already heading in that direction, personally I'm curious to know the possibility of combining Quest and Rift S, or PC and standalone VR. My guts tell me it's possible. I'm excited about the idea of two in one VR, with which I can watch a movie in bed before sleep, or show it to friends at their places', and plug in a PC to play a full blown action game. Two headsets and two sets of controllers are really too much for these purposes. I don't mind two libraries of games/apps though. Windows 10 and XBox One are already sharing content. It should be possible for VR too.

I'm thinking Rift S has an awkward position. It's not a gen 2 for those who already jumped in for Rift. So no buying there. It doesn't lower the bars for those who hasn't jumped in as neither headsets or graphics cards are getting cheaper. Then where is the market share?

Maybe a trade-in program could work. For the rift owners they get the upgrade for a discount. Then for the newcomers, certified pre-owned Rifts for a low price.

I'm from the dev team of Payscrypt. I know our product is still pretty rough. We want to release early and listen to honest feedback. So here I am. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Please do share with us if you got any replies...

Oh. This is just the longest day of the life you have lived so far. Lots of exciting stuff awaits, buddy.

This can be easily identified since other readers won't agree on this field.

So maybe we should propose a new field which is the approx. time to finish reading when submitting a story.

It's a game. Cheating the system without being caught is win in YC's universe. But now, this is hunters' turn to take one step ahead of the game!

Just visited it. Looks ok.

lol. This is awesome. Thank you!

The Three-body Problem. It raises the bar of sci-fi literature in China.

People can be proud of a good spirit, quality, attitude and wear something about it to not only show off but also encourage other people. But this is different from bringing your work life into your social life by painting a job title on your tshirt.

IMO it's better to strip the 'Entrepreneurs' part and leave maybe "Let's make shit happen". At least it sounds more cheering to me.

They are not retarded. They are just money driven IMHO.

And I bet the story behind this is no worse than the plot of House of Cards.

I wonder if there's a programming language that makes a program look like a poem or a regular article?

It would be fun to add some multiplayer support via websocket just like Mozilla did with BrowserQuest. Maybe make it run on phones and take it with you when you actually drive.

Then we can simulate the traffic jam in Mountain View together!

Thank you. Now I know about Gamergate. Even if there is a corruption, justice needs to be done in a proper way. Otherwise it's not justice, but crime.

When playing this kind of game, you are not actually playing, but training your brain to be like a cpu which is dumber in logic but stronger in following a procedure.

And your fun is over when you figure out the procedure, coz all you have to left is to get the input from whatever on the screen, feed it to the procedure and output the result to the mouse until u win.

Nice idea. A few possible improvements:

1. Import data from csv, excel etc, from file or textarea.

2. The chart should be resizable.

3. Color schemes would be nice to have.

+1 for the demo. If there's a 1click2heroku script for this, it will be golden~

To make a more generalized question:

How do we find out that such health products are genuine or can work as they advertised?

Did Matt become rich before or after he started wordpress.com? Does OSS always have to end up as an sass to make profit?

Bitcoin should be another topic coz it created a whole realm, one of a kind.

That's interesting. But if you already have a graphical browser which supports WebRTC, why do you still need the ascii? Or is there a terminal browser with WebRTC support?

I've tried Meteor with a side project. I did manage to develop fast and the initial performance is ok. However I found the Meteor server runs slower n slower. I'm not sure why. I just assume it might have some traps or catches that I don't thoroughly understand.

As far as I know, running sshd in docker is totally possible and there's a tool called docker-enter which would make things even easier.

I'm Chinese and I don't think this is the case. Investing in mining bitcoins is just like investing in any other industries, in its nature. The reason why some Chinese businessmen prefer this over the others is that it's newer, less competitive, cheaper, more global and under no governmental regulation at all, which makes it a business-as-u-go or a gamble with great odds. Chinese are good at these kinds of things.

Thanks. It would be better to have some navigation functions like what you can do on Windows with the default image preview program, so that users can browse through a series of images without having to convert them one by one.

You should ask him to start a youtuber business of live coding instead of live gaming, preferably with some commentary. It will be fun.

Pretty neat. Why is only the chopsaw a sketch tho?
