The latest oculus software release lets you have a "virtual desktop", pin windows to your VR games etc... It's pretty brilliant. I've been playing some Elite Dangerous with a video pinned in my cockpit during the long trips, it's very immersive. Obviously the resolution is still not good enough to use for serious work though but who knows, maybe in a couple of iterations...

Here's a random video of a similar setup I found on Youtube to give you an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL1BGgRAUPs
The discussion of building details is just a side trip.

The data from data is more about how they have decent building representations and POIs even in pretty remote areas and so have really wide coverage on their areas of interest.
You should get paid for your data.  how it can happen right now
this ones a sure piece of junk :) which will not appeal to 90% of population. Who will wear that device and roam around carrying a light pack and a controller. There is a long way to go and Apple will refine this piece!
It would be silly because everyone knows what an iPhone is. Not everyone knows what Magic Leap is. When I first saw it I couldn’t figure out what it was. Bad website.
EFI allows for OS's to modify probably too much, and the state of EFI implementations aren't defensive enough.

I personally would blame Lenovo for releasing something so brick-able.
Are both of you incorrectly taking into account payroll taxes or AMT or state and local? It seems accurate to me.
I think the value may be more clear in the case of permissioned blockchains.

Imagine 5 big banks or 15 traders who meet around a buttonwood tree. In that case, having 5 or 15 copies of your database adds a lot of durability and tamper resistance.

1500 copies of the database, however, doesn't add 100 times the value of having 15. That's the trouble with blockchains. Before Bitcoin you would get laughed out of any distributed systems conference if you built a system that did not add workload capacity when you add more nodes. Right now you can do an ICO and score a cool $20 million.
Well, you could at one time brick your computer by by executing an ill-advised "rm -rf" from Linux.

Made the news some years back I think.
I feel the same. If only I could hail a taxi with an app instead of having to stand in the street and wave like an idiot at drivers that have riders but who have neglected to turn off their light (as they all do in my city.) And if only when I have to call for a cab I could give them my GPS location so they don't get lost and never show up and if I could provide my destination so they don't take the long way, either on purpose or accidentally. And if only there was a way to see that the cab was actually en route to my location and see an ETA.

If the cab industry could develop an app that works like Uber/Lyft I think they'd be competitive again. I use cabs when they're right there and I know the city, otherwise I reluctantly use Lyft or whatever's available.
I've never heard of SunTools before – did they really have 1152x900 resolution back in 1985?
This comes up a lot in VR/AR discussions, but IMO it's the least likely application in the near to medium term. There's just not enough pixels in the headset to accurately simulate multiple high-resolution monitors.

For instance, the Hololens is rumored to have 1280x720 resolution per-eye - so a screen that consumes the entire visual field is only 720p, and "simulated displays" that were farther away would be worse.
In a strict sense that is true, and he has a customer for the engine so he gets some revenue that way. I expect however that he would eventually taper off his funding of it if there wasn't some momentum from other participants.

1280x1024 seems incredible for 1990, were people using those resolutions at the time?

It seems weird to think I'm reading this on a monitor with less vertical resolution than that some 27 years later.

Do you mind giving some context to this statement? What I know of the ECNs you mentioned is from reading the book 'Dark Pools'. It would be great to get some insight into the innovations that were developed in all three projects, that have become a mainstay in 'fintech'.

I use the water from my tank's water change to water all my plants in the house. I can fill almost three watering cans which is enough for two waterings of the various decorative plants and herbs I have (I don't have any vegatables or this surely wouldn't be enough). And that's just a measly 10 gallon aquarium.

For reference, Curiosity weighed 2000 lbs, somewhere between 50% and 75% of what the new roadster will weigh. The MSL payload that landed Curiosity weighed 8,600 lbs total, so yeah- you could probably land two or three roadsters!
Interesting, Ive had the opposite experience while driving back to NYC from other east coast cities. Google generally takes into account that traffic will increase as I approach NYC, but the initial estimate is always off by at least 1-2 hours.
I don't understand why this entire field seems so focused on gaming, and not productivity. The single most interesting thing to me was the "displays on demand".

There are two things that would absolutely revolutionize how I work that I would pay big money for:
1) Any sort of glasses that would allow me to view virtual displays in high definition. I don't care if I have to turn my head to see more than one display, I don't care if they are VR instead of AR. Should be high enough resolution to be able to use busy Excel spreadsheets and see enough details on a page to do web development
2) Some sort of glove where I could move my fingers to type. It doesn't need to represent an actual keyboard. I could learn whatever new gestures are required for each character.

Those two innovations would mean freedom for me. You could effectively work anywhere in any position, laying in a hammock, on a crowded train, at night in bed when inspiration hits without waking your significant other. It would have to be AR to use while running or working out :)

If these can be made with enough quality to enable equal productivity to a laptop the creators will have an addressable market of about 3 billion people.
I can see why people would be upset, but it doesn't seem especially shady to me - they were upfront about what they are doing and why. I do remember that multiple forks appeared immediately, but I don't see how trusting someone else in addition to the ABP developers is an improvement... until UBO there was nothing to switch to, and UBO had other advantages.
The N-1 failed for lots of reasons besides having so many engines. It's designer died before it was completed. It's primitive control systems were inadequate. It's funding was inadequate.

SpaceX has already shown that with modern control systems, you can bundle a bunch of chickens together to plow a field. Having 9 engines has already helped them complete missions where one failed. The Falcon Heavy problem isn't scaling from 9 to 27 per se, it's building a new structure to handle all the new stresses that will occur, from the launch sequence to aerodynamic.
> And who can blame them, really. When it costs thousands of dollars to get a medallion, you want to protect your investment and do whatever you can to maximize your profits.

AFAIK, in most places in Europe a taxi license costs tens or hundreds of dollars, not thousands. (There are exceptions, of course, most famously London where the cost is more in time than in direct money, and Paris where licenses are sold second-hand for hundreds of thousands.)
Packard Bell 486 was my first desktop. I remember working on a green screen at school and discovering the CLI. I probably crashed half of the school's computers just playing around.
video also slurps battery which is the thing that gets me way more. it's basically saying to me "the things you wanted to do later today, like you know go home, they're not important". Love it when google takes every opportunity to make sure that GPS is still on.

Google had a Metro/Modern/whatever version of Chrome in the App Store when Windows 8 came out. I didn't search very much, but here is one reference to it - http://www.omgchrome.com/open-chrome-metro-mode-windows-8/

I don't remember when they took it away, but I wonder why they stopped producing it? My guess is that they realized what a flop the Windows Store turned out to be.

Personally, I don't use a single Metro app outside of Settings because I don't like walled-gardens and I don't want to give Microsoft anymore incentive to turn Windows into one (Apples profits have already incentive-ized them enough!)

In those examples you'd be operating equipment rental companies.

Building a demo for this would be challenging, but come on. They have been at this for what... five years now, and had $2 billion to work with?

Besides, hype can be very dangerous. Look at what happened with No Man's Sky. They rode the hype train to the Moon and came crashing down hard because the product utterly failed to meet expectations. That's why it's important to temper hype with regularly administered doses of realism.

SpaceX's genius has never been getting the absolute maximum possible thrust out of engines. It's been designing them so they can be mass produced inexpensively, and re-used. They've proven that is the far more important skill.

So making the Falcon Heavy work as simply and well as possible is the important part. Getting another 10% by making crossfeed work, at the cost of making it more complex, harder to build and re-use, simply wouldn't be worth it.
I've got a HTC Vive and my expectations were really high due to all these great looking demos. In reality though, there is still today very few engaging content which leads to a lot disappointment. VR overpromised and maybe Magic Leap, while being bold in their initial vision, learned from this and is careful to increase hype before having actual good content. I mean, this doesn't seem to address end users yet.

“We are evaluating people – giving them negative attitudes – even though we know that in reality they cannot be blamed for their low education.”
IT engineer here with 19 years in the industry and no college degree. It's unconscionable that people have negative attitudes against others perceived as having low education. That said, traditional education is only one of many ways to become educated, and people generally can choose to further their education in many subjects without paying tuition to some institution. Doing so isn't necessarily straightforward or easy, but it starts with an individual's desire to simply learn and to pursue knowledge wherever it can be found.
I don't use Ghostery and AdBlock. I see my friends using it and how Firefox consume tons of his PC memory.

I use different browser to access different category websites. Brave browser for social media and Firefox for news reading or researching. Both of that browsers using the same local proxy connection in my PC. I installed Privoxy and Squid on the same PC with that browsers and so they are appear as the same user agents (e.g. Chrome).

I needed a small for my C# MAME frontend IV/Play, it didn't matter if it was relational on not. I picked this over SQLite because it's a single native DLL with no dependencies. It also supports POCO mappings (think serialization) which usually requires some ORM type package.

SQLite in .NET is still a little messy - there are several versions in various state of support, and they all depend on multiple packages.
I had a similar experience-- They had asked me if I wanted to write a book on SQlAlchemy[1].

an ideal candidate to author this book for us.

> It would be a pleasure working with an authority of your caliber.

I had been in the industry for less than a year and I did not mention SQLAlchemy on the resume that they linked to.

After seeing what their process is to find authors, I cannot recommend any book that they publish. It's not the monetary cost. It's the opportunity cost of not reading a book on the subject that is good.

I'm sure real-time rendering will be useful in a variety of use cases. However, one of the main reasons I use LaTeX (when I did) was because it allowed me to separate creation of the content from worrying about the format. This meant I could switch between author and designer without my (feeble) focus being distracted by an image jumping around or an equation overflowing. Indeed I actually found 'compiling' a LaTeX document quite exciting as I anticipated how it might look.
> But that's not true. Uber doesn't fix these issues by being an "alternative", it fixes them by switching the incentives around

Depends on the market. In Las Vegas, for example, there is plenty of taxi competition, but the taxis only work the tourist zones. The reason the people of LV forced their local politicians to welcome Uber, above the objections of the taxi cartel, is because the taxis refuse to pick up the locals in the neighborhoods. There's no need to when they can make the same money, or better, being lazy working the tourists.

Uber and Lyft have been a godsend for people with limited mobility, the elderly, those who can't afford or choose not to have a car, and those who would like to have a nice night out without worrying about a DUI. Taxis are despised in Las Vegas. Their lobbying power is the reason the monorail system stops just short of the airport.
Yes, that was my thought too. For this to be arbitrage, we need to see buying something one market where it is cheap and selling the same something into another market where it is expensive. BitCoin miners certainly buy the energy, but where are they selling it? I can't take that $0.04 KW/h energy in the BitCoins and use it instead of my expensive power. (If I could do that, we wouldn't still be arguing about whether BitCoin was valuable, there would be an inarguable value to it.)

Manufacturing A that needs B where B is cheap isn't arbitrage, that's just manufacturing where costs are lower. It lacks all the fundamental characteristics of arbitrage and consequently all the effects. Unless I am grossly mistaken about what arbitrage is, the article is just wrong.

Species do go extinct, but not at the rate we are experiencing today. Even if the current rate of species loss was equal to the historical rate, that does not mean that humans wish to live in such a natural state of chaos. Did American culture lose some of its heritage with the near-extinction of the buffalo? Is it any less of a failure of humankind to drive polar bears to extinction than it would be to obliterate the complete works of Jack London from the face of the Earth? That shit is cool, and we should try to preserve it for future generations.
Doesn't work- horribly out of focus.
None of their demo videos show that. In fact, they seem to prefer shooting demo videos in really dark rooms. Presumably to cover up that limitation.
Who in this thread has been advocating making ads terrible?
SQLite can work as a document store too. Data can be any type (in spite of defined column types), and it works even for pretty big document sizes.
You have to consider the period of time over which those species became extinct. Per E.O. Wilson, we're losing species at a rate that is ~1,000 times faster than anything in the past. If it continues, the loss in biodiversity will lead to the breakdown of many ecosystems that we depend on for survival.

Usually when people use the term "get it" on this topic, they're referring to a better business model that sustainably supports all the participants in the marketplace. You don't seem to be using the term that way. Rather, you seem to describing ordinary theft.

What exactly is there to "get" from your comment? That you're gleefully infringing copyright? If so, yes, we already know you exist. You're not adding anything to this conversation.

(By the way, this comment also applies to ad blockers in web browsers. If you don't like ads, that doesn't mean you still get to view the content without ads, any more than you still get to attend a concert whose ticket prices are too high for you.)
The thing is the FOV on the original Hololens prototype was massive, but the FOV had to be constrained down for the actual product because the FOV needed a full backpack computer (instead of the headset).

So it's all well and good that the demo units have a slightly bigger FOV than Hololens but I'm not going to hold my breath until we see the released product have a higher FOV than Hololens.
Well argued POV. However, the article overlooks the role of the Profumo Affair in ending the MacMillan govt. Another relevant precedent is the EZ negotiations with the Greek Govt over the sovereign debt crisis.
Our family had one of the early consumer VCR/camcorders around 1980. I still had to go grab one out of an old box to see how good my memory of its dimension is.

It seems there is some misunderstanding here. Post only mode means they will disallow any price matching to happen. So you can only enter limit orders and that too which doesn't match with any other price.
