The article confirms my suspicion that it's not going to be great for productivity. Limited FOV, hard to read things, limited/more difficult input methods, and it being tiring to wear for a stretch of time. It also doesn't se

Here's a depressing thought: I'm from the Netherlands. We're dense and have small roads and parking spots. So monster trucks like these are impractical, expensive to own (road tax based on weight) and expensive to drive due t

The responses are nihilistic libertarian, as is typical here. When a private company takes the sum of human knowledge without permission, attribution or payment and then monetizes it via the back door whilst cutting of any connection betwee

Another factor that is commonly overlooked which keeps prices from falling: the price only needs to be affordable to buyers. When supply is very low, you only need a small group of buyers being able to afford sustained high prices. It doesn

In 1996, our school had a break room with 30 DOS-based computers running Pegasus. Each computer would typically have a queue of 3-4 people behind the current user, all eager to check their mail. Most had no internet at home or very limited&

I hate Tailwind just as much as the author but it's not a technical problem, more like a business and education problem. Things like Tailwind (and formerly Bootstrap) are popular because they are easy to use. It's straightforward,

Quite a few companies are somewhat reasonable and steering towards a hybrid model where people come in 1-3 days a week. The unexplored outcome of hybrid is that there's no such thing as hybrid. In a hybrid model, you come into the offi
