I think this is cool. I'd like to imagine this tech being used to make a jetpack.

Impressive. Would be more impressive if it ran on mobile browser, though. Edit: Scratch that it does run. I got scared away by the message about webgl builds not being supported on Mobile.

I'm happy someone finally did this. I would love it if this were a port of the built-in dev tools from chrome (since this doesn't work on all sites because of security policies). Great work.

I'm 100% certain that they do though.

My understanding is that investors have been moving our companies more and more to nikefication. Because any thing that actually involves hiring people or operating a factory, buying materials etc. is more risky than simply licensing out pa

I say if they want to do it I welcome it. Yes, distro specific desktop environments can and do suck often. And this one might not be an exception. Worst case is the their distro starts sucking and you'll need to look for another one. B

I would prefer if the internet architecture was a mesh network and that sites/pages were content addressable.

I've experienced the use of about three different Roku TV's and they have a tendency to crash regularly with Netflix. I'm guessing Netflix is sucking up all the limited ram available on these TV's As the App is unbearabl

Except, according to the post, Photoshop uses Web Components for the UI. I'm guessing the actual reason if that most desktop apps aren't designed with expectations that a mobile app has.

Yeah, I like the tech behind Tesla but am turned off by. 1) The large, distracting screen in the front of the car. 2) The subscription model of the car's firmware. If electric cars ever become widespread I hope I can find a used one en

This reminds me of 68k.news. Which already has inspired me to think about doing something similar only for the whole web. I think I could scale it down to be usable on a smart watch too.

I'm not convinced VR is set to grow a whole lot. I think that the VR that we were looking forward to back in the The Lawn Mower Man / Matrix days is a long way off. All we have today is just TVs that you glue to your eyes which ar

I like the layout of yours better. But I still like 68k's feature of giving you the readable version of the stories too.

When watching the video the first thing I noticed was how perfectly stacked and uniform in size and shape the boxes were. It hinted at being able to lift a specific non-box object (spot mini) but I feel it wasn't a realistic representa

I'm pretty sure they do. I remember it being mentioned in a video about them or the robotics industry. At least for the robots with legs.

How could we bring back dinosaurs without any DNA? I think that's the problem with bringing most extinct species back is we don't have that DNA.

So doing to cars what's already been done to digital media. Well, I expect there to be a similar response by those technically inclined. Eg. Tesla crackers. That's assuming they managed to achieve full autonomous driving and got t

They are still to expensive for me. Also, I get all my cars used. Outside of that I'm still concerned about the carge time. If I drive out of town to visit my folks and I'm low on gas I can just fill up mid trip no problem. How

I suspect this is part of Mozilla pulling what Netscape did at the end of their life. Spinning off all their valuable products so they'll remain after their gone.
