I've interpreted presence as "how much can you fool the brain that you really are there".

The screen-door effect is still moderately high in DK2. I've heard the CV1 has much reduced the size of the pixels, so the effect is greatly reduced.

Also the refresh also needs to be jacked up further. I'd prefer 120hz or 240hz. That would assist in faster and more seamless head-tracking. I don't think HDMI can handle that much bandwidth though. I could be wrong.

Aside) The screendoor effect is the effect of magnifying pixels in a LCD screen so you can see the pixels along with the interstitial black space where the pixels arent. The black space creates black lines like a screen door. Your eyes will then flip on focusing on the image displayed and the screen door, losing the feeling of depth and presence.

Hahaha, I like how they include: "If it is multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, the answer will be ... 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, or 6/7 respectively."

Was it surprising to multiply 1/7 by two and get 2/7? Has science gone too far?

Do you know of other cool projects with limited parts?

I've just bought a Mindstorms set.
I'm not certain, but I imagine removing the comms would mitigate the threat. First thing I did when I bought my new~ish GMC was remove the OnStar module from under the backseat. I'm sure there is still a 'blackbox' somewhere, but never found *ny indication it has WAN capabilities. Of course, I disabled XM too... not so much for paranoia's sake, I just needed an input for my media device.
I'd still argue that anyone who connects radio, travel computer or air condition systems (non-critical, not real time) with breaking, acceleration and external lightning systems (mission-critical, realtime, potentially lethal) is maliciously stupid.
Who exactly would write these forward-looking regulations? Who is competent enough to foresee years in the future what car manufacturers might want to do, and then imagine how that might go wrong, and then regulate it? Any why would (indeed, should) these people not work for the auto industry, applying these competences in actually developing these new technologies?

And who checks these people's work? How do we make sure they don't risk outlawing ABS and ESP before they're invented?

For a relevant case study, compare and contrast with how heavy regulation, also plenty of forward-looking stuff, totally failed to predict or prevent the financial crash.

The, there's the issue of how the industry would actually adhere to these speculative regulations. You'd have plausibly millions of pages of regulation to evaluate every new development against. In practise, this means the lawyers are running the show. Just like in the banks.

Also, before your righteous anger gets the better of you, let's remember that nobody has actually been hurt due to these problems yet, except of course the manufacturer who must issue extreme expensive recalls. In the meantime, Toyota built cars with a gas pedal that stuck - this issue actually killed people. It was a purely mechanical problem - would these hypothetical forward-looking regulators have caught that issue?

Finally, I'm not one to throw around words like "communism" where they don't apply, and communists certainly didn't and don't care one bit for consumer safety or comfort - but severe overconfidence in the ability of government to plan, predict and prevent things is a central problem with communism.

I would say that GTalk only supported standard protocols from the start to gain traction. Email is probably too widespread and decentralised to be handled differently.

I think it is different. The usage of the spectrum is what should be free or not - I can sell anything I like over the spectrum, but the access to the spectrum should be citizens wifi - free and unfettered, except to the extent others try to use it (tragedy of commons is coming of course)

So it's fine to sell internet access over that spectrum ... i think I am turning myself round here.
Thanks for pointing this out and you're absolutely right. The per capita comparison is much better, and shows Estonia's economy at 54% smaller [1] (Bulgaria makes for an even starker contrast at 82% smaller per capita [3])

Edit - As a final edit, the largest disparity across standard of living in the EU is between Luxembourg and Bulgaria, and comparing their per-capita GDP shows that Bulgaria's economy is 93.2% smaller [4]

This is still a considerable difference between the two countries and yet not everyone has fled from Estonia/Bulgaria.

The point though is that there is a very big spread in the standard of living [2] across the EU and yet mass migration is not occurring.

Nice walkthrough! However, I'm surprised they're using basemap for this. Basemap is still maintained, but it's more or less been superseded by Cartopy. (Also, Cartopy should support the Winkle Tripel projection, as Proj4 supports it.)

Edit: Scratch the Winkel Tripel projection support. Proj4 doesn't define an inverse method for that projection (it's non-trivial), so it can't be used correctly by cartopy.
I'm not so sure that blue background image used is without copyright..
It means that it's a commons. You, I or Starbucks doesn't need a lobbyist to build, buy, or operate a device on unlicensed spectrum that complies with a few FCC rules. One of the key rules is that you cannot interfere with others.

Licensed telcos shouldn't be able to stomp on the commons because of their inability to manage the spectrum they have. If Verizon & AT&T lack capacity to deliver, they can raise the prices, subsidize replacement of older devices that use more spectrum, or make capital investments in high-density areas.
Michael Abrash of Valve now at Oculus giving a basic description:

* In the winter, you can start the car's heat while you're inside so it's warmed up when you get in.

* In the summer, you can start the car's a/c so it's cooled down when you get in.

* Send the address I just looked up in Google Maps to the car's navigation system, so I don't have to re-type it when I get in, I can just start driving.

* I drive an electric car, and also check battery level from inside so I'm sure I have enough range to get to my destination, and can tell the car to start charging remotely, or schedule charging windows in advance.

I find all of these internet-enabled features useful.

Safer than dumping all your private keys onto the jump box and using that to validate the final target? Why yes. This way, your local ssh client validates the final target public key, not the jump box.
I helped set up such a system for a few hundred developers.
We had an 'automated Linus Torvalds', which did the merge, and aborted whenever a file was changed on both sides of the merge.

In the good case (almost every time), there were no conflicts, and the merge went fine (we had unittests, builds and regression tests as extra checks in our CI system).

In the bad case, the developer request was rejected and the developer was told to rebase or merge his code on his own, so the merge issues would be handled.
Maybe they could make it so you have to mimic the recoil motion yourself, with your own hands, to fire your shotgun.

You would have to make sure to always turn the safety of your shotgun before putting it away, otherwise if try to quick-draw you will shoot yourself in the foot.

edit: grammar
Well the wifi should be certainly. The issue is the internet backhaul can be chargeable. Which to all intents and purposes says LTE providers can come along and offer high powered radio, and effectively block out any low power wifi routers.

So, if anything this seems like "denial of service" problem more than citizens band wifi.

But I still say the branding is needed.
Awesome project, I can't wait until there is a section on the website talking about "use this chain if you want X".

I hope you're right, and I'm really excited to see what Oculus and Valve have coming out. Honestly, I would dedicate the space in my basement for Valve's setup if it proves to work well; I'm really excited about VR.

But I'm in the same position as Jeff: I've tried the DK2 and it's not there yet. But at the same time, back when it came out, journalists were all over the DK2, saying it was revolutionary and all sorts of stuff. And it just isn't. Maybe the consumer version will be, but the gap between my experience with the DK2 and what journalists sold the DK2 to be leaves me skeptical.

What makes you think so? (Honest question, I don't recognize it from anywhere.)
I suppose personally serving all of one's own data is the only reliable way for users to "freely give their data". As you say, one can't expect service providers to be their remote harddrive so they can get their data back. Service providers are in the business of presenting one's data through the lens and filters of their service.

Personally serving one's own data such that a service can lens and filter it would require an entirely new protocol. It would need to have the data properly secured so the parts of you that are an open book (cat pics, blog posts) are served freely, and secrets (bitcoin wallet, personal notes) are not.

For apps that shouldn't be centralized, processing related to your shared data would need to be distributed such that a service could be formed entirely from peer-to-peer user nodes. In a perfect world, no central organization could hoover up all the data and do their analytics on it/share with the repressive governments.

For availability, you'd want your data to replicate to many trusted peers so that you could always get at it. As if the world were one giant cassandra ring, you'd always want to reach consistent states eventually.

It seems like there are too many hard computer science and networking problems for this to be a community effort (at least any time soon...)

The right strategy for classifieds sites
The Vive's approach for the controllers works really well and it sounds like it'll be shipping this year. It's strange that he doesn't mention it. I've tried a bunch of the other attempts going back to primitive university lab stuff in the 90s that took up two SGI Octanes, the Vive is the first thing I've seen that seems good enough to build apps on. I think the biggest problem initially is going to be figuring out what the killer app is. In terms of comparisons with the growth curve of mobile VR might look the same but we're much closer to the AMPS brick phone stage not the iPhone.
> how much forward thinking would it have taken

a lot. You can start by looking up if any of these old timers raised anything remotely similar to that concern. Remember how insanely unprotected the Internet was in the beginning? How SMTP basically still is? That was build by some of the smartest people in the world, and they didn't have the foresight to predict that there might be adversaries, and thus build (in retrospect, quite simple) protections in.

Also, those old timers were wrong about drive by wire, there is zero evidence that it's any less safe than physical linkages.

One of the reasons it would have been extremely difficult to predict, is that the phenomenon of consumer devices having a general purpose computer (and that this might be connected to the rest of the car), much less one networked in any sense, as its interface is pretty new.

[edit: added analogy to the internet]
I guess you're right. Town planning enforces this too with section sizes too big for low-priced high density housing. Thus forcing poor people out.

What's weird, is people often complain these segregations are unfair or keep people trapped in poverty but don't think twice about the segregation between countries. Those Colombians kind of are being suppressed by the US and everyone else except Ecuador briefly.

> Trying to debug a memory leak caused by insufficient strictness --- why do I need to care about this? The runtime should just take care of it for me; the whole point of a lazy language is that I shouldn't have to care when evaluation happens.

This is a completely wrong assumption. The point of laziness is not so you won't have to care about evaluation order. Everyone would like to have a language in which you don't have to think about evaluation order, but that has proven to be rather hard. Not because the people who invented Haskell or implemented the compilers are idiots who don't know what they're doing, but because it a hard problem to tackle. With many pros and cons on both the lazy and the strict side.

This isn't embarrassing at all. At least you need to think less about evaluation order in Haskell than in most other languages.
Exactly. I've been told I don't look like an engineer but it doesn't matter because I'm a man.

The BSM-SG model gives a very logical explanation how galaxies come to be and the high order matter we can measure (proton/neutrons/electrons/positrons).

It does not give you an answer tho, where the 2 types of fundamental particles come from, but their pure existence in mass quantities is enough for a galaxy to be born, or in our case, many many galaxies.
That kind of depends how drunk you are. And that might matter a lot more once the cars start driving themselves.
The best "framework" node.js has to offer is Meteor. Nothing beats Meteor for rapid prototyping so far.

Node was the next big thing a few years ago, I was an evangelist by myself. Today, drawbacks and backlashes appear more and more... so if you plan to reorganize yourself or some products to node, you may just skip it.

I'm personally betting on elixir for everything that is related to "server" or "service", and Rust for when you have to be very close to the metal (or providing an optimized native function to elixir).

Using "universal"/"isomorphic" JS to build everything everywhere sounds good on paper and feels exciting at the beginning, but later you have to deal with these mountains of layers of wobbly code, when stuff begins to break badly. Not to mention that JS becomes an ugly beast of a language, crammed with loads of useful features without a thoughtful foundation. But, this is just my experience.
But what happens when my home internet connection goes out, or I don't have an always-on desktop machine?

That's also an inequality in upload/download, and it's far more important than just a bit of imbalance in total bandwidth. Especially when most of that download bandwidth is watching popular (and probably commercial) videos.

I'm not sure which side I'd put the typical "no servers" TOS, since if enough people ignored that it would probably go away.
Even if it doesn't go the landfill immediately, you're still talking about a lot more clothes that will eventually have to be disposed of. Unless you assume that all the extra dozens of shirts and pants (shorts?) and underwear that he buys would have been manufactured and eventually disposed of anyway. Hard to see that being true.
It looks like you were brought up with Western education and Chinese style discipline. I had much the same education as you, sans the discipline. And my father growing up had the discipline without the education.

So I find it a bit odd that you then say "I think - given my experience - that the "Chinese" have a much better handle on how to educate."

Going through point by point:

- complain about clothing

Discipline. Chinese.

- In time, I got the chance to co-design my curriculum on the elective level

Education. Western.

- Interestingly, my school day finished at around 2pm (started at 8)

Education. Western.

- The goal was understanding, not memorization

Education. Western.

- complain about dullness.

Discipline. Chinese.

> The basic question here is - are the student's ideas worth hearing ?

Actually, that is rather besides the point. Being able to discuss ideas, go out on a limb, work well in groups, etc are important skills. Providing feedback to the teacher is critical in a group setting. Even incorrect ideas put forward by a student can get the other students to really think about the topic.
> Even today, IMF, which is an American institution promoting privatization and looting of public resources, along with the Nazi like EU, govern our miserable life.

Right, that's what you say after voting in power an incompetent socialist government which only prolonged the continued borrowing of funds to pay for your socially assisted and your corrupt and inefficient public institutions, funds that are fueled by all EU taxpayers, including countries that have much lower average salaries than yours, that did implement austerity measures and that now have to support your bill. This after you lied about your budget deficit for years, even before your admission into the Eurozone. Speaking of which, your government didn't even had the balls to take responsibility for their own actions, imposing that referendum on financial matters on citizens that don't have the competence to vote on such issues, being the textbook example of the tyranny of the majority effect.

But yeah, blame the americans and the masons and the german banks. It's never you, it's always some invisible and powerful puppeteers governing your life, right? I personally blame the lizard people.
That's not how I read this article. It seemed to be more about tempering expectations about a highly hyped (see: your post) product.
Email Security Awareness: How to Get Quick Results
But every microcontroller on the network doesn't have to listen to messages from the others.

The real problem is that the designers of CANBUS never dreamed of a day when rogue nodes could show up on the network and start broadcasting messages they should not be broadcasting. Automotive embedded systems were closed loops and, aside from perhaps a diagnostic tool in the garage while parked, not susceptible to spoofing messages.
Why Disney and ESPN Will Be Ok
Apart from what merpnderp said about per capita income, I'd guess there are at least two important things at work here.

The first is that the disparities between regions within a country like the US are quite different from the disparities between countries across the world. In particular, wealthy regions and cities in rich countries tend to have lots of poor people. I think they might even have disproportionate shares of the poor.

Then there's the redistributive effects of things like having a single currency, single regulatory regimes, and explicit central government redistributive taxation. These all (especially the last) work to prevent disparities between regions within rich countries from becoming as big as disparities between countries across the world.
