It certainly could happen - http://www.nvidia.com/object/cloud-gaming.html - how much will someone pay per hour to play one game? It feels like a timewarp to pre-AOL when online games cost more per hour than minimum wa

Additionally, multiplayer games often have to run a low-geometry simulation server side to reduce cheating and account for prediction/latency sync issues. While certainly not directly linked to poor physics simulations of water in comp

Here is my logic by anecdotes and observation -- All the factors matter, and obesity definitely has a social component. The jobs not only have a physical appearance component, the performance expectations and constant competition may mean y

Businesses may be sitting on trillions of dollars of assets, but they also have trillions of dollars of liabilities. Outside of tech, at least in the US, most industries have fairly ugly balance sheets. Inflation is another debate. Traditio

Trying to avoid all political topics here - If there were security holes in such a high profile organization, I would assume multiple intelligence agencies may have made interceptions of the data. The US intercepts communications of even

I think the question of what happens if humans have no jobs left to do is extremely premature. Different stages of AI and automation are being conflated in to the same arguments. Rather, the issue that needs to be considered right now is wh

I'm not sure in aggregate everyone is able to save their way to prosperity. There must be places for the capital to be deployed. A lot of savings end up going in to speculation which basically could be classified as gambling or waste.

In tech the lifecycle seems to be something like Stage 1 - That doesn't make sense and will never work Stage 2 - They turned down $1b they must be stupid Stage 3 - It is a monopoly and needs to be stopped Stages may vary but what remai

Two things the iPad Pro completely replaced for me: - TV - Wacom Tablet For most people it is a 100% replacement for everything they do on a computer, if they get an external keyboard. Prior to the iPad Pro, I used my iPad exclusively for a

There is a tendency, from what I've observed, to use running as a way to have a really bad diet and still stay thin. There is a lot of pressure for people in their 20s and 30s who live in urban areas to both look fit and drink heavily.

Same story about Japan in the 80s, and quite honestly I think they did a far better job at managing their investment driven growth boom. China looks like a total disaster in comparison, and I'm pretty sure they are close to the end of

The flip side is if no one does a blanket policy attack, then it will be easy for a malicious actor to target individuals for suspension. If those individuals are not tech savy, they then have zero chance of ever getting their money. In fac

The ubiquitous of communication today removes a lot of the magic of the BBS, at least to me. On the other hand, I think there is a compelling narrative for continuing simplification of interfaces. There is no reason that 90% of what is post
