So...how's this different than the Microsoft HoloLens? Seems to be a huge let down considering the hype machine.

Also, the form factor makes me want to vomit. Look there are 2 possible market segments you could go for that might buy this thing - the staid corporate type that is potentially looking for a toy that they can convince their SO is actually for work. In that case it should look like a pair of chunky raybans or horn rim glasses. The other segment is the hip crowd that wants to have something flashy and fashion forward. Just google "cute <insert preferred gender here> wearing ski goggles". People love those things.

Instead what they made is something you put on your face that makes you look like an asshole. No one likes looking like an asshole.

The cage that houses the cameras and the viewing screen is made of plastic. Any idiot with a 3d printer can make this in their garage. The important bits are all cabled to a hip harddrive anyway (also, really no wireless?). You have to ask yourself, if they can't do the easy things, why would we expect them to do the hard things (ie make this thing actually work)?
And do they rent a private office or a 30-seat conference room with 29 other people already in it?
It’s single threaded (for now), but all IO is async under the hood and will implicitly yield and allow a different fiber/green thread to run.

This is very impressive if what it says is true. They've basically reinvented the concept of a digital computer display by projecting a sort of artificial light field into the eye. The amount of capital they've raised makes sense now, this sounds like a ridiculously big undertaking. What remains to be seen is whether all this work will be worth it as opposed to just better displays, but color me intrigued.
TLDR: People thought foragers had it better because they spent less time collecting food than working (2.4 days), but the study this figure is based on forgot to include processing time, which yields about 6-7 eight hour days.
Yes, but he was quickly rehabilitated after Mao’s death, and anyways, everyone was in the same boat.

Xi is the canonical example of his so named “lost generation:” forced to leave high school early, sent down to the country side, rehabilitated and given basically an cursory education as a legacy admit to Tsinghua. He is the first Chinese leader since Mao who can’t speak a word of English, less educated than his predecessors, more autocratic (vs. Hu), less outspoken (vs. Jiang) and more on ideological message.
This isn’t necessarily true. They know that there are unknown unknowns at play here, as nothing quite like FH has ever flown. There is a non-negligible chance of something unforeseen rearing its ugly head, and if you’re just launching a lulz payload, that’s fine.

One possible way to distinguish between both would be continuity: if you had a Bitcoin node running several months before the announcement, and kept running the same unchanged software until today, which one would your node be following now? That one probably has a bigger claim to both being the "real" Bitcoin, and having the plain unadorned "Bitcoin" name.

As to whether it merits having "Bitcoin" in the name, both are close enough that one could be considered a small variant of the other. That might be enough for the other one to merit being called "Bitcoin something".

Watching this all go down, I don't see why it would be insider trading. They opened their retail side (Coinbase) at the same time as their exchange (GDAX) and gave minutes notice before going live.

There was about 0% chance there would be enough liquidity on the exchange to support a dual launch, so the price skyrocketed. There wasn't time to deposit enough BCH to give liquidity either. I don't care about traders making bad moves on GDAX, but to screw their retail clients so much is not cool.

Hi Peter, This is fantastic you are doing this, thanks a lot!

I came to america 5years ago from the U.K. on an F-1 visa, graduated and now working for a small company (4 full time employees) on an OPT in Minnesota. My company told me when I joined sponsoring me wouldn't be a problem, but I think they underestimated it.

Wow, you must work in a magical office. I work in Tech Support for a large company that is in the Fortune 1000, and they don't spend that much for tech. The engineers don't get that much either. They give us hand-me-down laptops in tech support, and buy mid level machines for the software engineers. The will spend more if there is need, but that would be the server, not the user laptop.

Gamers will shellout $1000's though for tech that is limited run, so you can then get items to scale for the majority of businesses/end users to purchase.

Also, Google Glass is being used in productivity, the current gen program is being used only in productivity applications. Google Glass was just too new to the market, and with the camera people were worried about being recorded, it needed a LED or a physical closure for the lens to make people comfortable.

It's difficult to do marketing for things that aren't yet in productized form without them being aspirational to some extent or another.

Case in point, the public unveilings for the Kinect and original Mac were combinations of stuff that worked at the time of the demo and stuff they hoped to finish by the time they sold. The former didn't deliver, the latter did.

It's clearly bad to overhype a product, but you have to try and reach for what you think you can do even if you're not done yet. And for new product categories you're even more dependent on marketing than for established ones.

> The important thing to remember is that cost of mining BTC (plus an inconvenience and risk premium, which may be quite large) for the marginal person looking to acquire it is the ceiling on BTC value.

Unlike what TFA claims there is no intrinsic value in a bitcoin but its value is 100% what someone will pay for it...like all goods coincidently.

I think what they're doing is falling into the cost-of-production theory of value trap.

2 funny things here:

1. None of the images loaded the first time I opened the page.

2. I was actually just griping about how bad google maps is the other day. I was searching for a business, and (at least on iOS) the surrounding businesses are all unlabeled. Apple Maps did a vastly better job of providing CONTEXT for what was around the business I was looking for. I was actually 99% sure I knew where the business was, but at a glance it was very difficult to tell on Google Maps, where on Apple Maps it was far easier -- the emphasis on structures rather than labels hurt them quite a bit in usability in this context.

Ordinarily I'd agree, Google maps is "better" but I use Apple Maps most of the time because it's the default on iOS and wrks well enough.
I may not buy a pizza with my bits, but I'd sure as hell buy a house, pay off my student debt, or whatever my proverbial lambo is. I only have enough BTC for really one big ticket purchase in my life, even if it increases in value forever.

Actually, a deflationary currency is an interesting concept for Basic Income- if everyone is given an amount of BTC at birth, so that it appreciates in value by the time they're old enough to spend it, they have a nice nest egg to build off of.

Of course, it only works if the currency circulates. I wonder if there's real world examples of deflationary currencies. Has it ever been tried?
Glad you get your priorities right.

> Last time I checked, offline navigation on Google Maps seemed to be car-only for some reason.

To be fair, HERE Maps only supports offline navigation for driving, biking, and walking. You cannot get public transportation navigation in offline mode.

Also HERE Maps driving navigation includes speed limits and a speeding warning based on GPS measured speed. Very useful for when there are speed cameras installed (as is the case in most of Europe). I have never seen Google Maps Navigation showing the current road's speed limit.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, block size increase alone is not sustainable. The BCash boyz are stubborn and in denial. Might work for now but in the long term they will need another fork to increase the block size again and so on. They don’t have a Lightning Network either which is already available on Bitcoin Testnet and proved to be extremely fast (almost instant) at very low cost. I hold both but I’m realistic. I only hold BCash because I know the price is being pumped so I’ll make some money with it.
Apple has too. I've submitted corrections, added places, changed location details, etc and they've all showed up within a couple days. I wonder if Apple has a user reputation thing going on.

A true light field projection would be nice. If you look at the background in a 3D movie it's blurry, with a light field it would come in to focus.

This is probably also what makes the projection bulky and why there are optical fibers running up (if it was anything else you could have used a single one). If this delivers what it promises, I wouldn't even mind wearing a light backpack for it.

And they are probably at this stage: https://images.contentful.com/bl73eiperqoo/2309lfO8h64WWYECO... so sure to make it to the form factor, but not pretty yet :)

Mapping seems like a great candidate for a nation-state level project. Make the data open and free (or cheap) to download, add an API with a lowish fee. Governments at every level already collect tons of this data—satellite imagery, utility, street openings/closings/maintenance, address mapping, and so on. Unify it, open it, and let businesses compete over who has the best interface and value-add instead of everyone making their own maps (or licensing from one of several companies that have). Seems like a lot of wasted effort for something that would be a pretty good fit for a government-provided service.
Maybe, just maybe it would work for people with ample wall space, in an environment with stable lighting, and good viewing distances. But how is it better than a monitor? How do you show your screen to another person? Do the economics makes sense at all? could the resolution and refresh rate be high enough?

Again, what does it give you that a really large monitor doesn't do better for less money?

> UXKit is just a simple compatibility shim on top of AppKit. There are many like it, and there's nothing particularly interesting about UXKit except that it is used by the team that developed the Photos app.

Yes, it is, but I think you're underestimating the value of a "compatibility shim". Sure, right now it's all backed by AppKit, but once developers are writing for this abstracted API it makes it possible for Apple to pull out the underlying AppKit implementation details and use a UIKit adaptation instead.

Right now if you run an ancient bitcoin node it will still see the segwit addresses and the real Bitcoin chain as valid just fine. It cannot follow the BCash chain because it's not a valid chain to it. Also, the Bitcoin project has been marching along same as always, it seems disingenuous to claim that the original is a fork when it's the same exact project and it is still a valid chain for every Bitcoin node out there. I think it goes without saying that the original Bitcoin project should be considered the rightful owners of the trademark "Bitcoin" regardless of whether or not they legally own the trademark for it.

No. You're missing the point:

This is where you're getting things wrong. We need competition to advance. Resources are limited and we compete for those resources. Competition is a resource-allocation system.

Sure, you can advocate for a centrally-planned pipe dream as much as you want, it doesn't work. It has been tried many times before, to horrendous results every single time.

I don't see how the IRS could coherently distinguish between these two cryptocurrencies and treat the sale of one as a long-term gain but a sale of the other as a short-term gain.

It's trivial to distinguish between the two. One has existed for several years and the other came into existence in 2017. One goes by the name Bitcoin or Bitcoin Classic, and the other by the name Bitcoin Cash. Legally and for tax purposes, the technical underpinning of the currencies is irrelevant...

The sale of Bitcoin Classic could be long-term gain because it could be held for >1 year (the threshold for LTG). The sale of Bitcoin Cash is short-term gain (for the 2017 tax year) because it came into existence in 2017.

Note that Bitcoin Cash should not be treated as a stock split for capital gain purposes--generally you would not get to share the basis of your Bitcoin Classic holdings with your Bitcoin Cash holdings. You can do that with stock because tax-rules specifically provide this option for stock and equity ownership interests. Bitcoins aren't equity ownership interests, they're assets. If you acquired Bitcoin Cash through the fork, you received free assets, and you're taxed on it as if you received free money.
