I mean, the customer should hold the bag in that scenario. Amazon completed the delivery.

Interesting. I have only tried the Magic Leap 1, not the Magic Leap 2. Glad to see they are making progress. I am still skeptical that it's not 5-10 years or more away before being something consumers might want, but I won't judge

I understand if it took until the Vive for you to want it, but the gap between the Oculus DK2 and the Vive was only two years. You could see the Vive was not “far away” from the DK2 when using it, it was incremental improvements quickly wit

Magic Leap was AR not VR. VR blocks your view entirely with a screen. MagicLeap overlays onto the real world. I’ve tried Magic Leap and HoloLens, and in my opinion, the tech is just too early for a successful consumer product. The very firs

DI payments are tax free if you pay the premiums out of pocket. If the employer pays your premium through a group policy, the payments are taxable. At least that’s my understanding, anyone reading should confirm with a DI broker.

Again, not an expert, but I would guess that in a “good” comprehensive disability insurance policy, chronic pain or brain fog is not an excluded condition, per se. It may be much harder to get the insurance company to accept your claim, but

I am not an expert on disability insurance, so I recommend everyone do their own research and speak to a disability insurance independent broker to get tailored advice, but if you have a "true own occupation" and "partial dis

Not to derail this thread or to sound like I am criticizing OP, but everyone should take this post as a reminder to look into having a disability insurance policy. Your megacorp may offer a policy, but look into getting your own guaranteed

I’m surprised that’s just to surface recommended posts and not for some deeper new ambitious products: “to support the "discovery" push, which requires extra computing power for artificial intelligence to surface popular posts fro

I think you are right based on the media coverage, but I’m bewildered that anyone who has tried these can equate them. My personal experience trying all of these when they came out 1. Google Glass: This is the most underwhelming and lamest

I think you are just out of touch. Don’t kids already spend tons of time in Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnite? Fortnite has concerts by artists like Travis Scott that are massively attended, fashion areas where you can shop virtual clothing, e

Whatever your view on the Tulip bulb analogy, that has no relevance to this story. This is a story of traders with bad risk management who blew themselves up with leverage. That is a story that has played out plenty of times in the past on

Welp, Apple just updated the specs page which seems to confirm only one external display up to 6k in resolution. Too bad.

Anybody hear any news on whether this can or cannot now support dual external monitors? That’s the only new feature I really want.

Check out MidJourney, which is in closed beta but expanding rapidly. I think it uses a different approach (different models), but also stunning results.

You are ignoring that plenty of people, especially young people, already tolerate headsets enough to spend many hours wearing them. Making the headsets much much lighter, less hot, wireless, better optics, higher res, higher refresh rates,

To be clear, I don't think most people will live in VR for all of their waking life (although some will). But I do think VR has the potential to be "huge" like cellphones, in the way that nearly every kid in the world has a h

Well, I strongly disagree. I would be shocked if VR/metaverse does not massively grow within the next 10 years. I think the headsets alone will continue to get massively better which will convert most of humanity, just like how much be

You are just ranting about things irrelevant to this story. Nate is not a scammer, but was a product manager at a very successful A16Z-backed startup. He is the type of guy that was already going to be successful and wealthy, but decided to

Well, that’s the point of these cases. This guy is (unfortunately for him) being made an example of, with a potentially very harsh sentence, in order to scare away the other 999. The next guy in his shoes will think twice.

What conflict of interest? The company tried to do something beneficial for its employees, although perhaps it was misguided. They gained nothing here except the marketing benefit of trying to be employee friendly. Margin loans are risky be

For what? This thread is full of misunderstandings. What is it you think Bolt did that the SEC should pursue them for? If it’s alleged they fraudulently hid risks, etc., it’s one thing, but so far all that seems to have occurred is they off

Yeah, if they laid off new folks who started less than a year ago, none of those people would have vested. And in a rapidly growing company, the new hires can be a big portion of the company.

I would bet money Bolt disclosed financial statements and all material information as part of this offer. The risks here are not rocket science. If the most recent round of preferred stock financing was $100, and your exercise price is $20,

It's a cashless loan. If you have options that cost $10,000 to exercise, the company lets you pay with a promissory note (promising to pay the $10,000, plus minimal interest set at the IRS's AFR). This is effectively the same as

The strike prices of options are set based on a 409A valuation. These are "cashless" loans, which are recourse for tax purposes (so that the IRS respects this as a true purchase of shares, in order to start people's LTCG and
