I use an ipad pro for reading pdf textbooks. The high refresh rate screen makes it more pleasant to use than the android tablets I’ve tried. Also the iOS books app is great, if a little bloated by the store half

Quadcopters take simple hardware and control it elegantly with complex software. The beauty is that you only need to write the software once. All other tech requires more complicated hardware.

All of the current products are basically cameras, right? I’m excited to hear about possible improvements

Vive Pro Eye and Varjo VR2 are some examples. I expect the functionality to be a part of most next gen headsets

It’s a very real possibility that these rules will directly impact the course of the world in the immediate future. We live in the world, too. Not everything is code and venture capital.

Article content aside, I’m a big fan of the mobile site design.

Who else has an install base like Amazon in their Alexas and Rings? No TinyCorp could just decide to roll out a service like this. One of the few upsides of having giant companies is seeing the work of their equally big R&D departments

One difference is that film requires in-person work while games can be made 100% remotely. Globally unionizing isn’t the same as unionizing a town. I don’t see it happening.

A lock that keeps an experienced lock-picker out for a few minutes will keep the layperson out indefinitely... Until they grab the bolt cutters. Everything is relative to context.

You need a compiler/IDE, a programmer (device that you slot the chip into to to upload the code), and the datasheet. Past that googling starter tutorials and reading the datasheet will take you far!

The biggest con that we’ve bought as a society is the push towards personal responsibility in carbon emissions rather than addressing the bigger sources in large ships, energy production, materials manufacturing, etc.

To spell this out further: There is competition in the smartphone market... but the app store has an artificial monopoly on iOS software distribution which is a separate market serving more than 100 million people.

Smartphones are not stand alone widgets. They are portals into vast troves of software made by legions of developers. Right now, at least for Apple, their app store is the lone chokepoint between this software and the world. Them taking 30%
