So "standard" AR glasses normally use reflective lenses (think like a two way mirror) and a separate lcd screen.

This is most obvious in something like the Meta2: imagine you started with a ballcap, used double sided tape to attach a smartphone to the bottom of the rim (touching your eyebrows and screen pointed down), lastly attach a reflective piece of plastic from the forward edge of the brim angling down to around your nose.

Or just look at pictures of it here (though they are all cleverly angled to not show the eyebrow screen): https://www.metavision.com/

The resulting image is both digital (from the LCD) and the reality of what you're seeing around you, but by necessity it's dimmer and the digital screen images look more translucent.

The promise of MagicLeap and lightfield projection is that you can get a fundamentally much more solid looking image by directly projecting light into your eye (with no intermediary lenses), though it's unclear exactly how much of this is happening in the current MagicLeap developer release.

It's not a perfect analogy, but it's the difference between looking at a computer screen with and without some tinted sunglasses, or a couple of 2 way mirrors between you and your monitor.
>"Drivers are also to blame but there would be even fewer if pedestrians were held to some standards of road safety."

So a car that weighs 3 tons, is made of metal and moves at 25 - 35 miles and hour and human who weight less than 200 pounds and travels at 3 MPH should be held to the same standard of safety? How many fatalities do you have in your suburb where drivers are killed by walkers?

While I'm a pretty great emacs fanatic myself, I think that this is one of the few cases where you'd be doing yourself a disservice by using the emacs alternative. Anki is extremely keyboard-friendly (more so than anything bar Emacs and vim), pretty extensible in a decent language (python), and unlike Emacs in this case, has a huge ecosystem behind it. The only thing missing is the possibility of using Emacs keybindings in text input fields (which is Qt's fault) — if that's important for you, you can use Emacs for input into Anki — google for it, as they're seem to be several options...

FWIW I read somewhere that Anki started off as an Emacs mode, initially, though the only source I could find now (quickly), is this:

Already done. Education is considered a public good. That is why K-12 education is paid for in the US. As far as a higher degree, the landscapers working across the street probably would not benefit from getting a degree and I do not see how the public would benefit from paying for a degree for those guys either. There are a significant number of jobs out there that would not benefit from people getting a degree. There are perhaps classes that might help in regards to those jobs but a degree is not something that would help. Also, the classes that would help are generally provided exceptionally reasonably priced at community colleges.

I think Web 3.0 is going to be more focused on small communities and niche-focused platforms. Look at how many people shove money to twitch streamers and YouTube personalities that have minimal operating costs but extremely strong communities.

The whole reason companies like the web is because it provides high profit margins since compared to physical things, the web is incredibly cheap. Communites allow companies to make money off of feelings and comradre that their users build for them. Twitter doesn't have sense of community so people are quick to leave, but even if pewdiepie left YouTube, the platform would be fine because it has so many other niches that people would stay for.
While this may all be true, we're talking about people being killed. Courtesy isn't what its about. Until ordinary people begin to 'walk defensively', drivers are going to have to be careful.
>My professors would have been very confused if I had sent them anything other than .doc(x) for review.

This, in particular, is the most important point. The parent commenter says "I prefer to let the final production medium to dictate the production process". Well, in the vast majority of cases, .docx is the final production medium. Most people use MS Word as both a document editor and a document reader.

I've worked at many companies and very rarely is any of the work product "finalized" into something like a PDF or a magazine. 90%+ of our work is meant to be continuously iterated on and added to over time, meaning it needs to stay in .docx. This applies even in the tech world, where things like design documents, project plans, etc are all used as well.
Yes, but the point was they went on gut, not based on UI testing. It was a terrible blunder, since mostly reverted.

I would echo something that thread said, and was a misconception I had: "Learning" an Anki card, even memorized for months at a stretch, does not mean you "know" the contents of the card in the full sense. You'll still have to use it in real life for that. I find there is still a noticeable pause the first couple of times I need something as I mentally have to "pull up" the card.

However, the transfer can be wildly better than trying to swallow a big pile of Facts (TM) solely by using them. Despite being superficially more work, Anki-memorizing+using can get you to mastery on topics with much less net time spent than simply straight-up using, as long as it is a task that involves a lot of "brute facts" of some sort.

This misconception wrecked my first couple of attempts to get into it, because I did not get the results I thought I should get. Better understanding has yielded better results.

I use word processors to specify complex systems. I can quickly navigate the document visually, without having to use Pandoc and its ilk to convert it to a format that's easy on the eyes. Other tools that live-preview markdown just aren't there yet. I also get a lot of automated functionality for complex structures like lists, tables, section numbering (in multiple formats) and tables-of-contents. I have really, really tried to be as efficient with Markdown and its ilk, but it doesn't even come close. I would also mention the interop benefit, but that would be beating a dead horse at this point.

Not sure why we're being singled out :-)

Didn't mean no harm or to single you guys out. You're doing fantastic work. But broken and noncompliant notices do bother me a bit.

Sorry to drag on like this but the privacy statement (thanks for linking) says:

takes place only with the consent of the user

It does not, as there appears to be a second cookie notice underneath the first stating how consent is assumed:

We use only those functional cookies which are absolutely necessary to ensure that we give you the best navigation experience on our website. If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with them.

From my understanding, if you're using only functional cookies and no tracking you don't even need consent (as you have legal basis) and you can drop the notice altogether. But I don't think analytics count as functional cookies.

Now aside from that nitpicking, thanks for writing such a clear privacy policy and making such good choices regarding the social media buttons, YouTube's privacy mode, and so on. Props!

The short answer is that the ML One is not a virtual retinal display/fiber scanning array as initially promised in 2012/3. They departed from that tech for this version some years ago.

So they basically have the same category of tech as the hololens but with a few additions, tricks and optimizations.

You're correct in that the display tech isn't the differentiator right now. They are hoping the ML One does well enough to support actually getting the FSD to market. It's iterative not revolutionary.

That's not to take anything away from them, this is an exceedingly hard problem and space so it's astonishing they are getting anything out at all.

Look at it this way:

* If we had a bad website, people would complain that it's ineffective, and not helping drive people towards FOSS

* If we then add open source analytics tools to try to improve the site, people ask why we are "tracking" them

* If we then add a banner, people complain that we're training people to ignore banners

...so it's hard to get anything right, it seems! We could remove Piwik completely (although it's not my call - I'm just one person in the project). But then it'd be much harder to improve our website. Piwik is really useful and if we want FOSS to be more widespread and adopted, we shouldn't shy away from such tools, IMO.

This is why healthcare is so expensive btw. (I can't help but notice the similarities)

Insurance hands out "tickets" that get redeemed by doctors. And as you rightly point out, everything gets warped and twisted based on what the payer (not necessarily the customer) wants.
Microsoft higher ups should've stepped in earlier on this one. This is clearly a case of a guy trying to do right and help out customers and not understanding how the law treats software and how that's different than hardware. They could've easily cut him a deal where he could hand out genuine Windows licenses with the sale of these devices.

It is legal (mostly) for you to pick up a piece of hardware that somebody threw away and do anything you want with it. You can legally use it yourself, sell it or just give it away.

In the eyes of the law, software doesn't work that way. Could you pick up a software license key that somebody threw away and re-use it? Depending on the license the original person purchased, likely not. It sucks, I don't agree with it but it's how it is.

I attended an in-state public university and paid the full in-state tuition from 1998-2001. I worked a retail position at an office supply store for 2 years before taking a help desk position at a small company. With both jobs I worked part-time during fall and spring semesters and full-time during the summer to pay for tuition.

I'm not sure how close tech companies are to monetizing the kinds of users who aren't online yet. For example, I talked to somebody at Microsoft a while back who said that Bing doesn't even serve ads to many African users because there isn't a sufficient advertiser base trying to court those users. So the last few billion users may be we less profitable than the first few billion.

Oh screw off with your edge case specifically chosen for maximum appeal to emotion, we're talking about preventing pedestrian deaths across the board here. No amount of traffic calming and pedestrian friendly design is going to prevent that sort of accident nor is that type of accident particularly relevant to a discussion of keeping different types of traffic from conflicting with one another.

If I get hit crossing the street by someone taking a right on red when I don't have a walk signal it's on both of us and of course we'll both allege it's the other's fault and we'll both be right.

If the same accident happened in a workplace between a forklift and a pedestrian we'd both face consequences for not paying attention.

The rules of the road are specifically built with redundancy that puts the responsibility to pay attention on both parties so that when one party doesn't an accident is still avoided. I should see the car and not step off the sidewalk until I have a walk signal or the car should see me and not take the right on red. To quote HR departments everywhere "safety is everyone's responsibility."

Terrible, mayor says of hundreds of Ofo bikes piled up at Dallas recycling plant
At state schools, the sharp increase in tuition costs over the last decade have had just as much to do (if not more) with a corresponding decrease in state funding. State legislatures all over this country -- starting with the 2008 recession but never quite stopping -- have cut support to these institutions. Often schools raise tuition in response, because many of them have mandates to serve X number of in-state students or have Y programs or perform research at threshold Z.

(The best part is when the politicians who voted for the cut in funding turn around a year later and say why are you raising tuition?!)

This is a vicious cycle, and it only serves one class of people: students who are born into well-off families who can afford tuition at these rates out of pocket. Those who aren't have to take out larger and larger loans just to attempt to complete a degree. It's really sad, because it doesn't need to be this way.

The Prior Idiots Phenomenon
You have a fair point, but you can say that most of agriculture is _probably_ subsidized in a good part of the world, because governments have to feed their people. Also for china, they have subsidies or support from government over foreign companies (which you also mentioned) which is also unfair. Trumps tariff is not about price of goods. It is more of a forcing hand to ease trade and american corporations to enter these markets easily.
A tram driver pressing the emergency brake can cause injuries in the tram: the ride is normally so smooth, that many people aren't holding on to anything, or are barely holding on, and will fall.

Also, the stopping distance is longer than most people would expect. It's therefore safer to discourage people from jumping out in front of trams and expecting the tram to slow/stop to avoid them.
Interesting. Where are you from? I just got back from a tour around France, Germany, the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

> to retain these loyal customers these eateries keep the price of their daily set lunches fixed to the value of one voucher

I'm a bit doubtful about this point. My experience (2 4-months internships inside Paris, lived in Paris another year but working in suburbs) is that restaurants are more expensive than the ~8€ Ticket Restaurant. Never ate for less than 12€ in a bistrot, and obviously for this price you only get main dish, no desert. In one company we had this hot food delivery inside our walls that would cost exactly one Ticket Restaurant, but nothing similar with bistrots.

To be honest one of my internships was next to Bir-Hakeim (metro station closest to Eiffel Tower) so the prices may have been inflated, but still.
Thats your theory at least. At some point, you don't need any more cheap shit from Amazon, but you need a decent job. As a top 5%er or whatever, surely cheaper is better for you... But prob not your lower middle class neighbor who has to compete more globally in the low skill labor market, where other countries are protecting their people in that regard
>>Sure. Ask any customs officer. Like it or not, the free markets in the United States created the greatest technological advances of mankind.

Actually that's immigration. And sure Ask any customs officer.

>>China has nothing on that.

Very true.

>>Some lousy chip makers and cheap labour won't be able to compete with anything done in the US.

China's trade work in Eurasia and Africa is changing the trade scenario rapidly.

In a sense China is creating a market for local economies in Eurasia and Africa, so that local institutions can grow and work with each other.

Its kind of strange, the US could have had all of that trade empire for 1/10 the cost of wars and invasions in the past decades. China offers an alternate foreign policy framework, and its working to a large extent.

Again the US economy in many ways, is just the economy of a few cities, and immigration matters big time. Not just for the US economy, but if those people chose to stay in their countries its a negative to US as they create competition for the US.
No, it's you defining a political viewpoint as neutral.

There are many possible notions of what "neutral" means. That you pick a specific, socially determined definition and treat it as the only possible one is a political action.
