I'm skeptical that home 3D printing is going to have much impact on manufacturing consumer goods. We've had inexpensive laser printers for a couple of decades now, yet there's not many people printing out books at home. The p

It's certainly convenient, but I find it a little scary that the PIN is not needed on purchases under $100. Granted, your phone is going to have its own security lock before you can run the app, but what about the smart chip debit card

Buying fake traffic removes the first hurdle. People are social, and instinctively don't trust something that has not been endorsed. It's like walking by an empty restaurant - you assume the food must be bad. But it doesn't g

I admit that I don't know that much about basic income but had assumed that everyone would be "better off" by the same amount. Others in the thread have kindly informed me that is not the case, and that taxation will take out

What are the schools of thought regarding inflation? It seems to me that any mass handout would quickly raise the cost of living and nullify any benefit.

It's not only the native UI. Getting rid of the deploy to device step would be a big improvement. Shortening the feedback loop between coding and testing improves opportunities for experimentation. This is why 20 years later, we still

I have this too. If I try to recall images of people close to me, I get an instinctive flash, which is like an outline. If I try to focus in on the detail, the image disappears. Happens in dreams to some extent too - I generally dream norma

If there's $2.98 trillion per year to spend, put it into space travel. We should be colonizing other worlds. With more resources available, there's more work available. More work means more demand for jobs - and life is infinitely

Design includes usability. I suspect you are confusing it with aesthetics - a common mistake.

I don't think the pods are expensive. At 70-80 cents each, that's under a fourth the cost of having an espresso of comparable quality made for you outside of your home.

This triggered some feelings in someone who lives thousands of kilometres away from their country home town. But when I stop to think about my own (ambitious) path, I considered something that this article doesn't: Can ambitious people

I got a DK2 when it first came out. When I tried a rollercoaster, I felt a little off but ok. Over the next few weeks I noticed slight nausea with the Zelda demo, Tuscany, and the Tiki boat. But that was nothing until I tried Quake 2. Afte

I would be very suspicious of finding a job offer at a hackathon. A company who wants workers that are willing to go without sleep to code are just looking for naive talent to exploit.

Scenekit and Metal both indicate a heavy investment in 3D graphics. VR display technology is a logical next step. Replace all that C++ crap with Swift, and you have a great rapid game development platform.

Great point. No matter how engrossing or important the work I'm doing is, I've never been able to push myself to work past midnight. Something biological tells me I am done, my brain turns to soup, and I know I've gone past t

I agree that their strategy is broken, but don't believe it's due a lack of taste. I understood Amazon's hardware to be the opposite of Apple. Cupertino makes their profit on hardware mark up, so it makes sense that everythin

With such low market share, they had to do something. Giving it away is not the answer. They're thinking that a loss leader will increase sales on their regular Office licenses, but that remains to be seen. All I see is further valida
