It seems clear if you look out long enough (assume high quality everything, and fast bandwidth) that these will replace smartphones (AR) and represent the next generation of the internet (AR & VR). Curious who people think the biggest w

Yes, but Netflix famously saw their pivot coming from the very start. They didn't name the company MoviesByMail.com -- they named the company for the future wave they intended to hit.

I've felt the "flow state" they allude to near the end on teams I've worked with. Everything just clicks, and there's a sense of cohesion and momentum. Perhaps because it's about sports, the article focuses mo

[Much of this thinking is based on watching my 14-year old son embrace a new technology and listening carefully to his words and how he thinks about it, and comparing that to historical technology adoption waves. There are really large and

Great points. I guess I meant they could be strengths IF the govt acted correctly. And of course as you're saying, that in itself... everyone has different definitions. I guess I meant as a cultural mechanism for handling a situat

Authoritarianism imho is pretty much always bad. I'm mostly pointing out that IN THEORY :) if a country was authoritarian AND benevolent, then it could be a strength during COVID.

It's possible for both to be true. America can be exceptional and value individualism, and that strength (if one agrees it is a strength, separate discussion...) can be a weakness during COVID. Another country could have a weakness (i

If you are able to afford it, I've found the more expensive noise canceling headphones to be dramatically better, softer and more comfortable for long wearing. I'm def not an audiophile, so I'm more talking comfort than anyt

I suppose the feeling itself came from comparing myself to others (which is natural), and it was having some success in some field relative to others that gave me the feeling like I could succeed, I wasn't behind everyone in everythi

46 year old here. Wave I remember feeling like I'd wasted so much time and was irreversibly behind in my twenties. Like, it was all decided. There are so so many figs left. Many many chances ahead of you! That said, time is tickin

My take on it is: At whatever age you are, you still feel like there's lots of time ahead of you, because people live longer/can do more/etc.

Thank you. Ideally we can blur the lines between these two, so that the price for one is ruined because they can't be distinguished.

Short, and worth a click. Favorite part: "Many people are so worried about looking good that they never do anything great... You destroy that paralysis when you think of yourself as just a student, and your current actions as just prac

Thanks. It could be useful since you might have more technical ability than many to say a bit more about what you found, if you're willing. Cheers!

Oculus is incredibly strategic. There is a very high chance that much of the work world (certainly all knowledge creation jobs) will transition to VR within a decade. Seems improbable from here, but just walking the tech forwards in pre

ADHD and Autism are "spectrum" disorders. Meaning that in a sense, we ALL have them to varying degrees, on a spectrum. (For example, we can all be distractable..) The definition of a disorder is that it's interfering with y

Yeah, I find myself encouraging others to explore this stuff until it's fully resolved in your mind, because of the difference it's made in my life and in others I've seen personally.

It's a long conversation and hard to have here/in-comments, but I'd encourage you to look into it again, for several reasons. I get the focus/creativity aspect for sure! 1. Medications have come a long way, and there&#x

If you haven't before, consider looking into whether or not you might have ADHD.

I have this too, and would describe it exactly the same. I think this is common with ADD.
