Can't imagine the operations over at a place like Pornhub - "Hey Bob, our teledildonic websocket latency keeps spiking, see if you can't lock it down."

I have a Kiiroo Onyx on my desk right now and people keep touching the squishy inside part. (I work at Pornhub)

  It'll be very interesting if you could do a mini-AMA! Not sure whether hn is right forum for that though.

    I've done two AMAs on Reddit, there is some interesting stuff after you get through the top voted jokes. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4dmwry/we_are_the_pornhub_team_ask_us_about_porn_vr_data/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4dmwry/we_are_the_por... and https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1un3wn/we_are_the_pornhub_team_ask_us_anything/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1un3wn/we_are_the_por...

      Those were hilarious. Appreciate the links. Most interesting was someone proposing you add a LinkedIn tag for trolling, finding out it was already there, and you got 100+ visitors from it. Crazy lol.

  You should totally expense a Launch. The Onyx was /such/ a horrible piece of hardware, I can't believe they're still selling it. :)

  Man, you make the Pornhub suggestions forum a hilarious thing to read. Any chance you guys are looking for new engineers?

There's actually a ton of problems with haptic latency in the current Kiiroo/Feelme setup. I did a teardown of the launch hardware and web services on my sex toy hacking youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA7MdO0rEoo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA7MdO0rEoo

I've thought the same. They probably have some very interesting problems to solve due to their size though.

You weren't joking, that's literally tele-dildonics

  Fun fact: he didn’t make that word up. “Teledildonics” was coined by Ted Nelson, the Xanadu guy, way back in the 70s.
