You are right, and I was agreeing with it. One downside to being sarcastic on a comment thread to make a point is I can't tell if people are down-voting me because they clicked the link, or because they didn't.

Oh look another "the moon landing was real" guy. ^ See what I did there? I made a comment on the Internet, and called into question the legitimacy of your comments. Anyone can do it! So what we really need is HN to moderate our co

Thats a stretch and you know it. Your comment shares some blame in spreading false knowledge yet you don't see me clamoring for HN to moderate their comments for truthfulness. And no its not different, maybe I am not Internet savvy and

And that is the real issue. I am as to blame as anyone. Whenever a friend or family member needs a computer fixed, or computing thing explained, I have been there to do it for them. We live in a more connected world, full of non-savvy users

Google is a search engine for finding webpages, not facts. Thats where this "fake" news story should end. This is not a political problem, its a societal one, and you are barking up the wrong tree. Wikipedia is a free online encyc

Sigh... I really hope that a couple months after people get their hands on these that they are really more bang for less buck, but last time AMD made these claims it was all about specific multi-core stuff and they were not the better all a

Huh, my experience with the Vive and a good rig (i7, 32gb ram, gtx1080, etc) has been fluid and easy to use. More useful for tweaking props in my levels than "creating" things, but there are serious opportunities (and some good st

I am concerned that we may have an AI breakthrough with this project, but no matter how hard we try, not be able to remove its conservative bias.

For me, I like the professional pipeline and stunning visuals of Unreal, but would not recommend it to anyone not doing this full time with a team. Unity I think is more accessible and can easily be made to look great as well, and is well s

Yes, demoing things are using it every day are two different things. One issue for this tech is, you can show someone, they have to experience it - and for some things you need to actively use it to get your VR legs and really start being a

This is a bad time to be a liberal. Let me explain. On nearly the eve of handing over the country to Trump, Obama is laying the groundwork for policy that has huge potential to be abused. I am confused, because if anything you would think h

This is rubbish. I am (was) a serial domain buyer. Now, I guess its somewhat true that buying a domain to go with your idea can really inspire you, I have a lot of domains I let expire or still hold on to because I haven't yet or never

I have personally made two prototypes for people using the Edison plus a the amazing add-ons from sparkfun. The integrated wifi and bluetooth are great, and once you are done setting it up, you end up with a battery stacked on an Edison, so

I was going to say, I am 30 and have been an avid FPS PC master race gamer since I was 16 and in college, and since I have had the HTC Vive, its been only to play with friends I miss that I do any traditional gaming. Other than that, I am e

Yes. In fact, the way he used hyphenation at the end of a line made me go back and look at each letter to make sure it wasn't a font. They are very consistent, but not exact clones. Makes me wonder if there are ways to make fonts that

tl;dr: The facts behind the popular myth that some people can't do math, just don't add up.

This is going to be a fun road to go down. I am sure it will be rough around the edges at first but as it matures I have good faith that Unity will knock it out of the park. Can't wait to fire of the Vive and check it out!

I tried doing this exact same thing and it wasn't as quick/easy as I hoped so I bailed, so first off, thank you for making it, and second, don't worry that its messy at least you got it started and that is the hard part.

Also, since the app is still on your phone there is no reason they can't be using it to gather data as well.

voxel cone tracing is not a new thing, but the way they are doing it is pretty neat and seems to be giving them good FPS even on console hardware (it's usually pretty beefy to do). As far as other engines doing GI, Unity uses enlighten

Why would Obama pardon Snowden, it is obvious he is in agreement on the whole "he is a traitor" thing. Also, why is Trump inheriting thing a motivating factor for anyone? "Oh God! Please give us back the situation where gover
