It's not nearly as naive as somebody claiming that an specific pattern of impressionism is the ultimately superior representation for everything.
No, and other high-fps video I've watched (all on much smaller screens, though) hasn't had that effect. I've wondered if the sensation was generated by some combination of 3D + 48fps + viewing angle. Or maybe something to do with the post-processing particular to that film. My wife reported the same effect—people walking with a casual gait but seemingly slightly sped up. Also affected other movements of people and objects, but walking was the most noticeable. The level of distraction it induced was similar to when audio and video are slightly out of sync (though, to be clear, they were not, that's just the kind of constant low-level distraction in caused)

We saw the second one in 24fps 2d (we mostly avoid 3D because we rarely care enough about it to pay extra, but it was the only way to see the first one in 48fps) because we both hated the first one's presentation so much, so I don't know whether we'd have experienced it in that one.
Yes, and not the camera I'm referring to.
I just left, after having lived there most of my life. I'm not impartial, but my opinion is that it's a fantastic place to live if your income doesn't depend on the country's current position in the wealth/poverty pendulum it's been swinging on since the 30's. AMA.
OK, so you are saying that I should be able to build, market, and sell to you an inexpensive car, claiming that it has all the latest safety features, but is actually a deathtrap. (ignore whatever mechanism I use to evade the laws and regs).

We're both free to do this because safety regulations and laws are an impingement on our "right" to engage in any voluntary economic interactions, right?

Of course, the first time you hit anything at more than 5mph, you'll wind up with a steering column through your chest because I just used a straight tube instead of a collapsible column to make it cheaper for you, among a hundred other shortcuts.

So, you're ok with this?

On what basis? That after a number of sales, perhaps the public will catch on and stop buying my cars? What if I've already got billions in profits and investors, and can out-market that knowledge, and buy off the regulators, congress, news organizations, and police?
Video size absolutely correlates with cost. It's not 1:1 but there's a relationship. The entire pipeline masters from uncompressed sources. When you need to color, crop, re-frame, or add VFX, you need to read/render those files at original resolution. Render time (and equipment that can do it) becomes a factor, particularly for post-production vendors, who pass on the cost (and mark it up).

True, Post Production is not the largest piece of the pie, but it still adds up to millions of dollars.
I tried Vive plus Leap and it is quite fun to play with, but surely lacks a second camera position to avoid occlusion and your hand have to be in a narrow field of view aligned to your head, not torso, if mounted to the headset.

Had someone tried mounting the Leap Motion to a Vive Tracker yet, like facing upwards from belt buckle level?

Something like Manus will always be some niche market thing.
If you have to put on extra gear every time you want to play the time, friction is simply to high to get anywhere near console sized markets. PlayStation VR already has way less friction with the headset mounting process.
Our home in Vancouver rents for just under two grand, and would sell for something around one million. The math doesn't make sense anymore, but everyone wants to get on that sweet rocket ship. Own a place for a year, watch it go from a million to 1.3 million, cash out via HELOC or selling to the next sorry sod.

Actually I'm just bitter I didn't buy in 2013.

We were specifically talking about homeless people, not poor people. I am currently homeless and have had a class on Homelessness and Public Policy. I know whereof I speak here.

I don't disagree with some of your assertions that we should treat such people as if they have agency and can make choices. But your framing is incredibly hostile and in the vein of "We don't need to do anything for such people because they made these choices and did this to themselves."

No one makes choices in a vacuum and, currently, an awful lot of people have no good choices available to them. Blaming them so you can wash your hands of responsibility is rather ugly behavior. You don't personally have to do anything for someone like me, but posting comments on a forum where you are basically publically advocating that no one should do anything for them -- well, I feel pretty well entitled to rebut that. Feel free to do nothing and feel that my problems are all my fault and I am just not trying hard enough. But if you post that to HN, I can rebut it, and likely will if I see it.
You forgot to note that Vancouver has returned to all time high prices in all housing types 6 months after their tax.

A 3 day credit? Sounds like they need a Public Utility Commission to lay the smack on them for usurious behavior.

But they're an "entertainment" provider, not a utility. What a joke is our regulatory process. Completely captured.

Jesus, this is a seriously overblown description of what's happened to the guy.

He hasn't been lynched, he hasn't been jailed, he hasn't had his riches taken away from him. He's been asked to endure one consequence of years of behavior that many, many of us don't approve of.

There's no "five minutes of hate" here, there's a lot of people in the world looking at someone who behaved badly, consistently, without showing any sign of changing their behavior, and saying "enough, you don't get to run a big business anymore".

Maybe you don't give a shit about the kind of business the guy built, and that's up to you, you don't have to give a shit, but acting like the rest of us are a lynch mob is a ridiculous misrepresentation of the situation.
I doubt there's very much legacy-ish Kotlin or Swift code out there to be a significant selling point for your product.
VR is like the quintessential example of a two sided market.

Developers don't want to make games for it, because there aren't enough people with headsets. And Customers don't want to buy headsets because there aren't enough games yet.

But innovation like this is always great. The controller for the vive has been my biggest gripe.
"horrible things": oh summer child. I would categorize most of these as misdemeanor. Try to take a breath and really look at it. Except for susan fowler case other things aren't that bad, except for firing everyone responsible I don't see what else should have been done.

Do big words make you look dumb? How BS spreads on the internet
Last year a neighbor had a comcast tech who identified a noisy signal somewhere on our block. He proceeded to disconnect every other house on the block and then left.

He never told anyone at Comcast or the other houses. Took hours of battling with phone support and a two day wait to have another tech who came out and identified the problem. He said they do this often to get into houses to find problems but he's supposed to put a note on each door and put a note on our accounts. Whoops.
A primary residence shouldn't be compared to stock market investment on pure returns basis, as you get additional utility out of the home by living in it, using all that the neighborhood offers etc.

However, you can absolutely compare rental income (a kind of perpetuity, or an annuity with an indefinite payment stream duration) with another annuity (such as a dividend producing stock or a bond). In general, these all can (and in my opinion should) factor into your investment diversification strategy.

Real estate cash flows tend to be more volatile than say a bond from a AAA+ rated borrower (leases end, people stop paying, roof leaks, etc), but that should be measured against your required rate of return for the said risk.

When compared with stocks, real estate cash flows tend to be less risky (if valued properly), because even in disastrous situations you have some salvage value, whereas if a company goes bankrupt that's kind of that. (Gross oversimplification but still.)

One aspect of homeownership that I am a very big fan of is that even in a flat market, the mortgage acts as a type of forced savings account with negative interest (that is, you pay the bank). In a culture where the savings rates are dismally low, this is better than nothing. Unfortunately, refinancing and HELOCs really screwed this up for people. At the extreme of the last housing bubble, people were literally treating their home as an ATM...
It is interesting if you skip the first 50%..
Ugh, seriously? I hadn't heard that.

I officially don't understand how markets work anymore.
I'm from Buenos Aires and I can assure you that this is outright false. Buenos Aires is the largest population center of Argentina and has had heavily subsidized (e.g. electricity bills of 2 USD are not uncommon) utilities for almost a decade . In the rest of the country these subsidies rarely exist, so everyone else pays a realistic price.
Yes, people can be addicted to anything, but that's a false equivalence. Debilitating addiction to video games is incredibly rare in comparison to gambling, and someone addicted to video games isn't normally going to lose their life's savings. We're comparing cigarettes and potato chips.

Further, gambling is essentially a zero-sum game. The house always wins, equal to how much you lose, and pretty much every gambler loses besides the one or two rare examples who strike a jackpot the first time they ever play and then never gamble again. In contrast, buying a video game is a transactions both parties are normally expected to benefit from equally, and a video game's single player mode is expected to last at least 10 hours at a minimum nowadays not counting online play that lasts essentially as long as you want, while gambling machines need a constant input of money that adds up to much more over time. Even comparing to coin-based arcade machines, a session on one of those will last much longer for the price, and even in the microtransactions that have become common nowadays you at least end up with something more than the screen flashing some bright lights for a few seconds. So overall on this point, it seems to me like a gambling establishment is necessarily exploitative while a video game publisher isn't.

>People being able to engage in voluntary economic interactions outside of the context of a lawful societal structure leads EXACTLY to economic warlordism.

Warlordism is the antithesis of voluntary interaction. 'Warlordism' in this case is just a buzzword to scaremonger people into consenting to giving up their rights to make decisions for their own lives.

Exactly, Warlordism is the antithesis of voluntary interaction.
It is not a buzzword, but a shorthand used since I'm not writing a dissertation but a (supposedly) brief comment.

Warlordism, or the domination of an economy or power system by a very few who manage to seize the top of the power structure, is exactly the result of unregulated "free" interactions.

Just observe any unregulated society or economy. How long does the equality and freedom of interactions last? How long before someone or group of someones accumulate a critical mass of power, economic and/or violent? A surprisingly short time. And it happens every time.

If nobody wanted cars then Tesla would be bankrupt. People wanting cars creates jobs for those in the car manufacturing business. If Tesla makes a better car, they might have more people working for them over time.

It's hard to say if that creates any jobs at all, or simply shifts jobs from other companies that make cars. A lot of the companies in the Sam Altman portfolio are involved in "disruption", which is to say, shifting jobs from one company to another. They're not net creators. In many cases these companies succeed because they require fewer people to operate, so they're job destroying by nature. Wether or not that's a bad thing is irrelevant here, it's just a fact.

The only thing that actually creates jobs is demand, and the only way to create demand is to radically reshape what society is. The automobile created a huge shift in demand: Many people wanted a car because of the economic opportunity it brought, and with the car came other opportunities, like owning a house in the suburbs, owning a cottage, travelling more, and so on. It encouraged people to take on debt, to spend money they normally wouldn't spend, and to work harder to afford it.

There hasn't been anything quite as profound as that in the last century. The introduction of the internet has, if anything, eliminated demand for many things previously taken for granted like print media.
Agree with this statement. Future-proofing was, however, a happy side-effect.

> My complaint about the 48fps (after going in hyped to see this Spiffy New Format) was that everyone looked like they were speed-walking all the time,

I saw all the Hobbit movies in 24fps, and—especially (at least, this is where it first really stuck firmly I in my mind as wrong) in the underground scenes in the first, but also in parts of the other two—had a similar impression.

I think it had to do with some other element of cinematography particular to that film series, though it's quite plausible that 48fps exacerbated it.
Seems to get swept under the rug. But Toronto's 'bubble' is not inside a bubble.

It has huge push on the surrounding City housing markets.

People either leaving Toronto to retire selling while prices are high.

Or simply people giving up on Toronto and moving outside the city to commute, happy to pay high prices for the city but low compared to Toronto.

The thing is labor/wages in smaller towns hasn't increased to match the rising house prices. A city like Toronto with lots of jobs the costs can be justified. But when you have 'rich' people from Toronto come in to buy a home they push local First Time buyers/less affluent out or cause them to take on bigger mortgages(and when rates go up with their lower incomes, they'll suffer most).

Yes. "View source" being in pretty much every browser from the beginning has been an important part of the democratizing nature of the web. As web sites and development have gotten more complex, have dev tools baked into most browsers and continually adding capability helps reduce the barrier to entry.

I appreciate that Firefox has chosen to differentiate their dev tools from others by adding a tool like this. Google Chrome dev tools seem to be more focused on performance testing. It wouldn't be a bad thing if one set of dev tools was better for performance and JavaScript debugging and other was better for solving visual design problems.
Yeah -- pretty much all of them are like that

I was putting some quick foundational numbers in there... I would expect all of those prices to be 5X or more than what you see after all the extra stuff that one would need to have a complete setup might be...

let alone time, training, education, talent, etc etc etc...
> I wonder if any of these shops regularly measure the performance of their custom containers

Yes, while it wasn't often, we sometimes did benchmark tests to improve performance when bottlenecks were found, especially towards the game's release when we were focusing on optimizations. IIRC we did some minor changes in the dynamic array container and we rewrote the hashmap and hashset implementations. One of the programmers wrote a performance test comparing several algorithms both with synthetic and real data (from the case that created the bottleneck).

> compare with the standard library on a modern optimizing compiler and make a reasoned judgment that it's still currently worth the trade-offs to stick with their own stuff.

There are other reasons to use a custom container than just the pure performance of the container itself. One is using a different allocation scheme, as the example i gave in the grandparent post, another is to use a friendlier API (see `find` and friends) and add more features. An important one in our engine was support for the custom RTTI that was used for object serialization and the scripting language that also worked and exposed those directly - the container, the RTTI implementation and the scripting runtime had to have intimate knowledge about each other to work transparently (especially when the editor entered the picture, where you could create new entries, often objects but also sometimes structs or other data types, by editing the array directly in a property editor).

Of course not all engines do that and TBH most of the performance and memory related bits are more relevant to consoles than (desktop) PCs (the API friendliness and RTTI stuff are platform agnostic though :-P). At the previous gaming company i worked at, the engine used standard containers. Also AFAIK the engine used by the Two Worlds games also uses standard containers (based on some of their developers' comments).

Personally when i write C++ i implement my own containers not because of performance but simply because i dislike the STL API - for example i want to have "Find", "IndeOf", "Swap", etc methods in the container itself :-P. Sadly it seems that i'll also need to do the same if i decide to start working with D seriously since D's standard library seem to more or less copy the STL API style.

Once is an accident. Twice is incompetence. Thrice is intentional. What was described in the story is just pure malice.

They cut three more lines as the guy was on the phone trying to complain to Comcast about the first cut. Comcast was given a map, and from the story, it looks like they used it to pre-plan the willful destruction of someone else's business and livelihood.

If there was a lack of training, it was a dearth of ethics classes. If there was a lack of competence, it was in devising plausible excuses for the cuts.

They can run a business like that by making the barrier to switch providers very high, and the ease to collect bills very low. This is pretty much standard experience in the US. Even if one lives in a region where there are competitors, it's annoyingly difficult to switch providers so most just don't.

I've lived in Buenos Aires all my life. This is my biased pros/cons list:
- It's a beautiful city with a lot of art and beautiful places.
- Food is great
- Most of the people is nice and open minded (same sex marriage is accepted here)
- We have a lot of good IT professionals and great entrepreneurial ecosystem (including cryptocurrencies)
- Argentina is a beautiful country to do some tourism
- Our timezone is great, we are close to NYC time for example

Cons:
- Prices. I've been travelling a lot this past years and I found Buenos Aires might be as expensive as other big cities.
- Inflation, it's really hard to deal everyday with it. I've lost sense of prices to be honest
- Some places are really insecure. Also, you might have problems on safe areas too. I live in a good neighborhood and someone broke into my apartment when I was out.
