   I'm on board with this. This sounds like creating products / software that basically make public ops much better. As someone with a background in education, this is what I wish more edtech startups focused on. Yes, instruction is

   For those with VR headsets of any kind: how often are you using it? Are we there yet with VR? If not, is it the hardware, the content, or both? For now, I'd define "there" as at least 0.5 * time spent on console or PC gaming

   Really great piece, take the time to read it. I've been quite prone to this, and one thing that's helped is building systems vs. goals, per Scott Adams[1][2]. If you read many stories of successful people, you see a pattern in hav

    My primary uses: play music (connected to Spotify), set timers and alarms (one Dot is in the kitchen), and turning lights on and off (we have Hue smart bulbs). I certainly could do all those things without it, but it is nice and does feel J

    It’s hard not to look at this performance and take away from it that most people really don’t care about privacy. As upsetting as the thought may be to some, Mark’s hypothesis that privacy is no longer a social norm we value seems to be pro

    I understand that, and if this was a normal application for its standard incubator, I'd understand. I read this as seeking out people doing exceptional work but aren't _already_ being noticed. A lot of this people might not be not

    Can anyone with a relevant background, a la aerospace engineering, begin to speculate as to how this team could accomplish such lofty goals on what very much seems like a shoestring budget? FTA, there's mention of "efficient aerod
