Yeah, 5 days ago, with next-generation he means consoles, not VR HMDs

Dude, Carmack was never a consoles guy, he didn't like the Genesis nor the SNES, he didn't like the Playstation, Saturn and N64, etc... If he was excited by nextgen consoles, now THAT would be news...

From experience those who say they'll never sell at any price are often the ones that end up selling for peanuts. Anyone can talk the talk, and since that movie saying you wont sell is the "tough guy quote of the day".

Been there, didn't had an awful experience but it wasn't good either, the guy I worked with was a D time manager but I was able to agree to a fixed fee. Still, a 2 month project became 6 months of constant delays. Can't say being a dev help

I'm getting a sort of deja-vu feeling, this thing reminds me of all those desktop docks for laptops that appeared during the '90s when I was a kid. I remember it seemed really cool, but in practice it was a pain in the ass.

It wont for simple economic reasons: if (big IF) consoles really go down in popularity that means there wont be enough users to justify selling units at a loss, the main reason why consoles were always cheaper than gaming rigs. Just look at

Both Apple and Microsoft started at a time when personal computers barely existed and thus a couple of guys with very little capital could build a computer kit or code a blackjack game in a day. One key difference its revenue: Allen often m

Haha man, today was "one of those days" here in Argentina, and now this. Can you believe Cristina (you know, the president) literally went and told a senator from her party in the middle of a speech "hey go easy with the nose candy" Yeah so

We don't have the technology to make volumetric holograms, the closest thing is some persistence of vision-like system made by a Japanese company that's very low-res and can make you blind if you stand too close to it.

Do you realize how absurd and contradictory you are being right now? NeXT was an actual company and didn't get any funding while complete hacks like the one in the article got millions and didn't even have a product. A NeXT was used by TimB

NeXT wasn't a terrible business and it had many of the same ideas that AAPL uses today, like top-of-the-line industrial design. Do you even realize there were 5 years between Jobs arrival at AAPL and the iPod right? 3+ years if we count the

Jobs had just returned to AAPL and was cleaning up the mess left by Sculley and Amelio And no he wasn't taken seriously at all, he was still remembered as the guy who created the abysmal AppleIII, botched the Mac and then got fired from his

The ultimate lifehacking is going from rag to riches by selling a completely useless "item" that some people find extremely valuable, thus further inflating it's perceived value. You probably don't need much to do it, and the revenues from

+1 on commitment>ability You don't know how many times I have seen a startup fall apart because the cofounders couldn't stand even one minor setback. PS: don't like the picture though...

You are barking at the wrong tree dog...

Maybe but the thing is that people you mention also go to expensive schools because of the prestige, not the learning part, so you wont be able to convince them of going to a community college.

Don't try to oversimplify this: Germans have some of the most skilled workforce in the world, and their small companies are very engineering heavy, unlike most French startups. There's a long way between that, the American system and the Fr

His bio, check it. Also I didn't know (before that) that he refused to pay his daughter's tuition and some friends of his wife had to do it instead. Awkward at the least...

"You retard! There's no delay in your while loop. How many times do you think the client can connect to the DB per second? Thousands! I can't believe you'd do something so fucking stupid!" Wow, was it that hard to keep it down a little? see

I know, but people who live there say that because of the deficit public services have suffered many cuts and are far worse than before. Add rampant inflation to that and it gets uglier, even aspirins are expensive over there.

Nothing new here, this is what happens when politicians make their work easier by making everyone else's harder, case in point in Argentina because politicians there can't bother to fix the deficit they raised taxation to almost 60% across

“When people openly mock the consumer internet space and the excesses of it, that’s when I will start investing again.” What? people are already mocking the consumer internet space They weren't (at least not so much) 3-4 years ago, but now?

Once I was talking to some ex-web1.0 "entrepreneurs" (if you could call them that) who wanted to build one of those no-funding accelerators and, get this: they couldn't make the website and wanted me to do it for them. For FREE... And these
