I respect Marc, but I totally disagree. AR has so many practical business uses that VR just doesn't have. Look at the AR demos Microsoft has produced for industry...they are super impressive. And they work along with sensors and other IoT devices. This is for a headset that is in its infancy.

The only way I can see VR having higher value is gaming. AR certainly will not be a gaming device (imo) but HUD to display valuable information is the future. Once it's at a state of being compact it can penetrate the consumer market, right now it really only has business uses.

VR headsets are kind of already ready for gaming...but who do you know that games with one of the sets? It's few and far between. Obscuring your vision entirely just makes people feel silly and vulnerable. I also think gaming is a sedentary activity, people aren't really that interested in moving around. If they were, they'd go play paintball.
well programming is providing lots of value to humanity at the moment so it gets a pass
Ye, well I agree it's probably not worth the fuzz support Mac or Linux for gaming.

But I mean, without numbers on how much extra dev time the linux port demanded it's hard to reason about what a 0.1% revenue increase means. 0.1% is still 0.1% and could have been more if it didn't crash at that rate and discouraged buyers.

Since they released for Mac the game must have been programmed with cross platform functionality in mind.

I'm neither pro vax nor anti vax. Both camps are equally irrational.

By pro vax, I mean the folks who feel compelled to push their vaccine views and agenda on other people. Like you.

When I was growing up, statistics on vaccinations were counted in the "We have successfully vaccinated X percent of people" way. It wasn't expected to achieve 100 percent coverage for the entire population. Now, we tend to discuss it in the vein of "X percent of people failed to get vaccinated or refused vaccines." like it's a failure if we don't have 100 percent coverage.

There are legitimate exceptions to getting vaccinated. There are people with serious health issues for which vaccines are actually contra-indicated.

If we would stop acting like 100 percent of all people must be vaccinated and resistance is futile and just let those folks with issues quietly not get vaccinated without having to actively justify their choice, then a lot of this rhetoric and politicking would go away.

There are ways to deal with a small percent of folks not being vaccinated that respect their right to choose without endangering other people. If you are genuinely worried that some small percentage of folks are a threat to your health, then looking into how we can design a world that is safe for both the unvaccinated and those who fear them is a better approach.

I have all my childhood vaccinations. I'm "supposed to" get the annual flu shot because of my respiratory condition. I stopped getting it years ago because all the people helping me get healthier after doctors wrote me off for dead were strongly anti vax.

I'm not strongly anti vax. Anti vaxxers hate on me. Pro vaxxers hate on me. I'm just someone who wants to exercise my right to opt out of the fucking annual flu shot, which isn't actually required, yet I can't do that without being given hell by some internet stranger or other who lives nowhere near me, yet still wants to inform me that I am evil incarnate and a danger to their welfare or the welfare of some sickly family member of theirs.
> That's like saying "this whole programming thing just keeps on giving" every time a bug is discovered in any program.

No it's not. Programming is a tool to create programs with. Block chain is a technological buzzword being used (and implemented) wildly inappropriately.

51% attacks are a fundamental vulnerability in decentralization. It would be like inventing programming when everyone pretends bugs don't exist at all. Bugs are inherent to the task, just like blockchains have a very narrow set of use cases, but everyone's too busy flying too close to the sun.

I agree, I see 2 distinct big markets:

AR = Business

VR = Entertainment
Our whole civilization might just depend on if we can get viable fusion working in the near future. With global warming, I do not have any hope of a political solution in the timeframe required. We can only hope for a technical solution, and that solution will be very, very energy intensive (carbon sequestration from the atmosphere, massive desalination to provide fresh water for humans and agriculture, etc). Fusion is the only candidate that can provide that level of energy at the density and scale in a location independent manner.

If you are picking lottery tickets I would agree with you. What I think the point of the article is, is that investors aren’t picking lottery tickets and neither should you. Given 1000 startups to choose from, your EV is negative as compared to working for BigCo. You can’t work for 1000 startups, though, and investors don’t invest in every startup asking for money either. They’re selective and expect that this process will result in positive returns over simply putting the cash in public tech stocks.

Can you narrow 1000 companies down to 20 that have a better than average chance of success? Sure you can! And you should, and you shouldn’t treat the options as worthless.

Did you see the list of partners in the announcement? Its one thing to say that linux runs on your core, its another to have a supported release by every major distro along with other OS's people want to run working (windows/etc). It might be said that is the harder piece of work because its not just engineering but politics and business cases.

So beyond that there is an incredible amount of engineering work required to get lots of application stacks to perform well on an architecture. Its one thing if a core is similar performance/watt given some small benchmark suite. Its another to get specJBB or other random large application suite running well. There are literally tens of thousands of pieces of code here or there that need to be ferreted out and fixed, from adding crytp/vector instruction support, to lock tuning. There is also the experience of finding edge cases in the system architecture that don't perform well in a given situation and need to be modified in a future design.

That is something you get with a mature architecture and something the arm ecosystem has spent the last 7+ years working on with organizations like linaro and in major projects like the linux kernel, gcc, clang, openjdk, android, etc. Missing a 20% performance optimization somewhere in a 100 million line code stack can be the difference between performing like a 7 year old core from your competitors or being seen as equal.

Now all that said, risc-v has plenty of opportunity, investment, etc. Nothing I've said above is unique to arm/x86/power/etc its just a matter of putting the effort in. That work hasn't yet been done for risc-v, so its a natural fit for small limited microcontroller/embedded applications where the software stack is more controllable, rather than general purpose high performance applications (phones, servers, etc).
For nuclear propulsion you just use the propellant to cool the reactor. You are still going to want to have a bunch of propellant with a fission or fusion reactor and, like a chemical engine, you can use it as a coolant when it enters the engine.
Bad/non-existent annotation support prevents you attaching metadata to objects without adding garbage to their structures. Makes reflection a lot less useful
It is actually possible to define all of those things in a compiler standard and force them to do it certain ways or document possible "implementation permissions", but, again unicode identifiers are rare in practice because programming is designed for English speakers like it or not.

True, he seems to be addressing high-resolution immersive AR vs VR. Is that because he's looking for something to invest in?

If so, it's definitely putting the cart before the horse for the average software dev, since AR can be very low fidelity and still be effective. It just has to add some value to reality to be a pretty big win. Mapping software is the main example to me.

But maybe mapping is not even AR anymore — it's its own thing? What about Pokemon Go? Is that AR in this context?
Yep. They also over-charge for propane, sell the tanks not fully-filled, and don't compensate you for propane left in the tanks when you return them. All to increase convenience slightly (I can get the swap tanks at the supermarket or Home Depot, but I have to go to a specific gas station to fill the tanks I own). I strongly prefer the non-swap solution.
Demolition Man was correct!
My understanding is that there's very little demand for Tesla's chemistry (low cobalt NCA). All other automakers prefer NCM, primary because:

* better sustained performance compared to NCA

* better peak/burst performance compared to NCA

* easy to adjust formula to show preference for capacity, performance, or longevity (most automakers skip on the 3rd)

Tesla prefers NCA battery because:

* it has more capacity / weight

* it's much cheaper due to lower cobalt requirements (main reason)

The main reason traditional automakers tend to shy away from NCA because:

* it is far less stable than NCM, which puts it a much higher risk for fire or explosions

* it costs more than NCM to make stable (I suspect Tesla chem is cutting corners in this area)

You can decide whether the trade off of safety for range is worthwhile for you; traditional automakers err on the side of safety.

SDL is a 2D library. Any modern game will use 3D APIs and there you'll quickly hit the insane minefield of OpenGL bugs that are graphics drivers on Linux. Those are pretty much optimized for driving the desktop compositors with everything else being a stroke of luck if it works as defined in the spec.
Increasing occupancy reduces total road wear (the 300-400 pounds you cite is around 10% increase in weight, adding that much in passenger weight adds under 50% to road wear under the usual per-vehicle-wear is proportional to fourth power of weight rule of thumb; whereas adding two equivalent vehicles to the road adds 200% to road wear), except when it is increasing capacity rather than reducing wear.
I believe the UK has much stricter laws in this regard, but it seems to face a lot of the same problems as the US.

Besides, a lot of the truly dangerous misinformation is coming from antagonistic foreign governments, which probably can't be bullied out of doing so over the Internet by mere local criminal laws.

Not to mention that there's plenty of ways to satisfy libel laws and still spread misinformation.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but I don't think it's giving the government the ability to target people for things they say. That'd be a great tool to use to harass political opponents.

That article points out the importance of statistical correction not innate problems with MRI. From the article:

>Some people like to use the salmon study as proof that fMRI is woo, but this isn't the case, it's actually a study to show the importance of correcting your stats.

It further points out the by 2012 90% of labs were using the corrected techniques.
One was a pretty typical (for the time) drive by; someone in my after school youth group wore enough of the wrong color of clothing to catch the eye of the 'other' gang. We just had Saturday game night, and so were walking to Taco Bell for our unofficial after games social. As we stood at a corner waiting for a crosswalk to turn green, two or three gangbangers in a passing car opened fire with fully automatic machine pistols. I don't talk about the results.

Another time I was hanging out near a chain link fence chatting with a couple of friends when some other guys came by on the other side, talking shit. We talked some shit back, and they threatened to come back with a shotgun. We blew them off, ignored them and continued with our chat. Well, one of them did indeed come back with a shotgun. Fortunately the weapon was loaded with bird shot, so we were only slightly injured.

An 'amusing' story:

My grandpa, who raised me, along with my grandma, listened almost nightly to the police frequencies. We heard a helicopter circling above one night (a not uncommon thing), and the cops were talking about chasing an armed suspect on foot. The 'copter was circling one street over. It's easy to tell because their floodlight constantly points to whatever the action point is below.

Suddenly, from outside, we heard a fully automatic rifle fire a long burst. Seconds later, the 'copter reported that they were taking fire, and so were forced to orbit at a higher altitude.

Crime in Southern California in the 1980s was no fucking joke.

Do you have any viable alternative?
Hmmm...I saw another commenter mention that they think VR will go the way of 3D televisions. I really doubt that. I can't imagine anyone was really ever in love with 3D televisions. There is a modestly different experience vs 2D but nothing substantial. I've honestly always thought 3D "looked worse" than regular television. I'm not sure if there's something funny with my eyes or other people experience it but it never looked as clear.

In contrast, for some users, VR really is amazing. It is substantially different from the experience of interacting with a computer screen. Possibly oculus or the htc vive are a littler early to market but having the entire class of technology go away is unlikely in my opinion.

It is interesting to think though that 3D still seems to be popular in theaters (which I also do not enjoy). I wonder if "going the same way as 3D" could mean that VR will be something that is generally experienced at theme parks or theaters or something but not be a technology that average consumers own?

VR gambling will also be a multi billion dollar industry, complete with massive, detailed virtual cities dedicated to just casinos / gambling and porn. The large supporting business demand to take gambling into the VR realm will fund the construction cost of those detailed worlds over time. It's primarily a question of who will do it, what regulations will exist and where, rather than if it'll happen.
What about AR? I've heard a lot of people make the 3D/VR comparison prediction. I think it's reasonable to think VR and AR could have very different fates.
You know, I'm usually reticent to join in with the "screw Silicon Valley and its myopic rich guy bubble" crowd, but this was kind of gobsmacking. "People here in the Valley don't see the potential of VR in all those places that aren't as wonderful as it is here, where lonely, desperate people could use to escape the tragedy of not living in Silicon Valley."

Sometimes I've thought about donating, only to realise that its the website/readme/whatever that's making me think about it, and wondered how many projects I owe more to that don't have as good donation-grabbing copy that aren't getting as much.

And does it even make sense to support the project most valuable to you, or perhaps rather the most endangered that has any non-trivial value?
I'm not so sure about that. While there are a lot of complicated situations for JS dev, there's also a lot of similar patterns. I'm not saying we need to ignore the various complexities involved in JS dev, but we should make the general patterns easier to solve. Yes, of course transpilation can have all these different edge cases. But we should be able to have some preset modes that can do 90% of the work automatically. Like it baffles the mind that I still need to tell webpack that JSX files should be loaded by babel.

And anyways, there's the entire backend JS ecosystem, which is extremely behind Rails in developer ergonomics. I can spin up a REST API in Rails in half the time it takes to connect Node to a database.

> There is also massive corruption problem in the police force

Is this really true or just the impression given by cherry-picking the worst possible cases nation wide and amplifying them via media?

Define "massive". If you got pulled over, would you be legitimately worried about being tazed or abused?
No one uses it. So you attack it. Cool. You can't turn it into USD or anything else, so you just spend $30 for nothing.
Because it's an eventually consistent system. If what you proposed was implemented, you could end up with a fork that would never get reconciled.
Dry air inside the house can make hands dry.
The most typical way to profit from this, is to have quite a bit of ETC, and then sell it on an exchange or buy something expensive. This transaction would then end up on the block chain, and eventually be considered secure / part of history.

Privately, you are building a chain where said transaction did _not_ occur. Because your hash rate is high enough, you are generating blocks at at least the pace of the public chain. You keep mining your chain (without your transaction) privately until the bank transfer from the exchange goes through, or you are sure whatever you bought is on its way. Then you broadcast your private chain as soon as it has at least one block more than the public chain and voila, you have your ETC back and the USD/EUR/crypto you sold it for (or the product you bought). You can have your cake and eat it too. This is because the rule of most cryptocurrencies is that the longest chain is the truth, and everyone mines on top of the longest chain. If a longer chain appears out of nowhere, all miners will jump on top of this one. There is no such thing as "finality" in most cryptocurrencies, where something becomes actually (read: much more) irreversible.

Of course, doing this only makes sense if what you gain outweighs the costs of performing such an attack.

Note that you typically _cannot_ steal coins from specific wallets, as you do not have the keys to those coins. You can however censor transactions that you may not want, but the above is a common way to benefit from a 51% attack.
