First off, I'd definitely recommend reading http://gamasutra.com/blogs/JesseSchell/20150626/247113/Makin... . VR-wise, b) can definitely be mitigated. There seem to be two current strategies - either

I think the expectation of digital is not unreasonable, here. Most photos that get taken are taken on digital cameras. Using a digital sensor would have several advantages in prototyping - you get a faster iteration loop of 'build cam

On the subject of new discussion software, I'm interested in finding or creating a system where the typical end result is consensus among the participants, and future readers reading the end result will be likely persuaded of that cons

Is this book actually teaching programming using the Ruby language? It's a pretty fundamental assumption, but I actually can't tell, given the web site. As far as I can gather, Ruby is the name of the main character, and it explor

hmm. Just tried it again, and it worked now. Nice job getting one that doesn't start with repeat!

Maybe it copy-pasted wrong, but this doesn't look like a solution to me. The output is shorter than the input, and contains commands in a different order.

I don't know if this is what the MBA was going for, but the idea might be - Setting up the compensation fund cements the idea that the disaster is a 'when', not 'if'. Putting a small cap on compensation signals to p

Sure, but Uber previously styled themselves as just a middleman between drivers and passengers - the facilitators of a market, not a force in the market of their own. Consider a counterexample - eBay is clearly a market. Independent buyers

What environment did he use on an android? I would think programming on a small touchscreen device would be really tedious, wondering if there's something good out there.

quick answer - It's probably computationally infeasable to gain access to any specific account, or all accounts in the database. It's probably feasible to gain access to at least one account in the database, if it has a weak passw

As an interesting thought experiment - What if we taxed land, but the tax rate was based entirely on the size of the parcel, and the total valuation (land + improvements) of all nearby parcels, not including the current one. In theory, this

I don't know if Linux/Open Source/Free Software disproves the theory, or actually proves it. The argument would be: Microsoft and Apple feel that existing IP protections on software would not sufficiently prevent competitors

Ok, so their observed effect ("significantly increased overall symptoms") is almost certainly due to gluten. Those are indeed good probabilities. I'm interested in how large an effect "significantly increased" means

This is interesting, as before now, I considered most claims of gluten sensitivity (that weren't specifically related to Celiac disease) to be part of a health fad. This study would seem to contradict that. Are these P numbers actually

The thing I find most interesting is their strategic take on piracy - they recognize it as a competitor. When a 'moment of truth' rolls around, it's an option potential customers might choose, depending on content available a

Cities like NYC and SF are a bit of an exception in the US - they're very desirable cities, and their housing stock is more or less filled. Getting a place to live, even with sufficient income, is a bit of a chore. In other markets, th

For what it's worth, the experiment in the article didn't give everyone $X directly, the benefit slowly dropped off as their own income increased. For example, let's assume X to be $30k/year, and a drop-off rate of 50 ce
