Your point about 'good enough' is exactly what I stumbled on a few months ago.

With VRidge (https://riftcat.com/vridge) I was able to setup my Pixel 3 in a Daydream headset, use 2 older smartphones as my tracked controllers, and enjoy everything from BeatSaber to SkyrimVR. Image could be better and smoother, but I don't care. I'm throwing fireballs and am fully confident the VR age is here for all intents and purposes. I'll drop the $$$$ on a dedicated setup in a few more months, I'm sure.

VRidge sent out an email earlier today about supporting the Oculus Quest.

Bet they were disappointed (in the show, not the service)

> I think my employer knew better what they needed, than they did themselves,

This is a terrifying sentiment.

There are multiple controller options now. Maybe mix and match, but also imagine breaking and needing to replace just one.

So I get the reasoning but would still expect a bundle option just for simplicity

Seems like a safe bet the answer is "no"

The scale of it all is ever increasing, even if the sentiment is near constant.

Which underlines the parent post's point. Those margins are so slim as to not matter. We're talking about the entire election hanging on the difference of one moderate sized city's population.

Recognizing the medical industry as what it is can be really difficult. It's not just there is a bell curve of knowledge and ability, but something with more dimensions that accounts for a world as a big as ours.

Just like I'm sure there are software shops out there doing what I would call impossible, not all doctors know the full extent of the practice or where those particularly skilled practitioners might be.

They have known it too. The first cited experiments in this article were done in 2012. I wonder how long it's existed as a theory in neuroscience.

Then we invented everything else and along with that UTC. Which works until we have colonies on another planet. We should go ahead and move to a galactic time standard.

So...you pick the weeds out of the collar? You've reduced the land you have to maintain to just that which this robot can't get to.

Luck seems relative. He did get shot after all

Similar with scientists in my experience. Though it's more easily explained as the older generation sees the terms as interchangeable or not worth arguing about. The younger generation tends to use sex specifically and might call out improper use of gender.

// "MICE DON'T HAVE GENDER!!!!" <- something I've heard at high volume too many times

And generate worse chemical waste than the plastic was to begin with

You don't address the parent's point.

Trying to group 1000 people together and measure all of them, sure that seems insurmountable for an informal system.

Taking that same group of 1000, splitting them into subgroups of 7 and giving those individual groups their own goals and autonomy to pursue them may again allow for informal performance measurement.

Tim Kaine, from memory. Palin sunk McCain. And Paul Ryan was no match for Joe Biden

The article doesn't seem to be referring to Walmart's employees as the beneficiaries of its welfare system. The argument to me says that customers of Walmart benefited from the reduced costs brought about by the innovations as if it were a welfare system built outside of government.

That said...yeah, that's a bit too pro-capitalistic monstrosities for my tastes.

People observe different things and even then, weight the memories of those observations differently. There are many who employ a barrage of "factual" observations. These are unavoidably biased even as the speaker attempts to pan the feelings out.

Often a speaker doing this feels that the sheer number of data points makes their strategy (that they will argue for shortly after finishing their list of observations) all but inevitable. People who have interacted with such arguers get understandably defensive when shown a barrage of facts painting them a certain way.

In the presence of a pattern of behavior, one example followed by every means necessary of keeping the offender on your side while building a strategy should be enough if the pattern is real and the offender has good intentions.

NVC perhaps is often employed in situations that don't quite require that degree of formulation, but when parties have been bickering so much that even simple "Hello" courtesies get interpreted as passive aggression, the structure of NVC allows the building of communication.

Anything that gets and keeps both parties talking in these situations, even by marginal degrees, is worth everything.

To echo the point that decentralization of big tech might be an advantage to foreign powers, wouldn't multiple companies be harder to monitor in their exchange of IP across state lines?

"Most people don't buy" <- until that says "all people", you've shot your own point in the foot.

Limited people, time, and resources are why you can't do both at the same time. Developing one solution impedes the development of another

Here's the Dissenter comment page for this comment thread: https://dissenter.com/discussion/begin?url=https://news.ycom...

I'd agree with the first part of your statement. Though what it means is that anyone's worldview is a flawed model from the start better described as a cult than as the truth.

With the availability of Unity and other engines funded by AAA companies, that's enabled startups to pursue new game concepts using AAA efforts as a foundation. That's an ideal model. AAA games are both the standard bearer and the entry level. It's up to gamers to pursue and support a community built on top of that for more experimental games.

Wherever there is attention, someone will monetize it.

It still applies to the gaming industry, but to your point, the bargaining power of high talent programmers is suppressed by eager programmers (not mutually exclusive groups).

My theory is that Jack is trying to expose the flaws of twitter to the rest of the company. A way of bludgeoning the stubborn in the company by a blitz of bad press

The two articles together present an interesting perspective on python programming philosophy. I'm far more inclined towards the exception approach. And while I like that type annotations exist, using them in examples convinces me that the examples don't apply to all python

"Just a few months after Howard and Shankar started to flesh out their theory, other scientists independently uncovered neurons, dubbed “time cells,” that were “as close as we can possibly get to having that explicit record of the past,” Howard said. These cells were each tuned to certain points in a span of time, with some firing, say, one second after a stimulus and others after five seconds, essentially bridging time gaps between experiences."

Most relevant idea from the article for me

I'm really excited for ilograph! It looks great and seems like a modern alternative to graphviz!
