I do have one beef with this article... This is "rendering for the masses" not "animation for the masses". The two have very little to do with each other. Great animation comes from good timing, good acting, and other things that have very

Well sure it is. You are doing intersections of rays with the "scene database". The biggest bottleneck in MOST raytracing systems is ray-intersection, not shading or lighting calculations, especially for complex things like refraction, refl

I have a friend who almost got a felony conviction b/c of fake ids. But that was the 80s. These days, I don't think you'd get a plea.. identity crime is a way bigger deal.

This is one of the few benefits of a single-payer system.. It might actually encourage entrepreneurship, since healthcare is so prohibitively expensive.

This thing looks so cool... I'm really excited to buy one, I think there is a huge market for great software in consumer electronics - this might be a fun and cool way to build things fast.

By design, I meant "industrial design"... It looked great, but worked like crap, so it really hurt their image worse than if it sucked all around.

What a funny consequence of having a massively successful product. The design was so successful, that they sold so many phones, that they lost tons of customers. If this were a failure in every way, then it wouldn't be as much of a problem

This was my impression after reading a valleywag article. Probably bad form on my part, but whatever. Also, I doubt I'm "too young" to remember much about google, since I remember when it didn't exist.

Wow. Marissa Mayer is a serious self-promoter. When she can't take credit for an idea, she tries to take credit for "not killing" an idea?

Proving that no matter what the topic - everything on Fox News is knee-jerk, under-reported, and over-simplified.

It's also funny to think that everyone has a dream about "what if I had some plateau of wealth higher than the one I occupy now"

Good point - "release early, release often" is also a quest to perfectionism, but is a public quest. You have your users determine what is perfect, what directions to go in. Holding something to yourself until it is "perfect" is a solo que

That's because bostonians care about the redsox way more than newyorkers care about the yankees. WAY more.

The problem w/ perfectionism is that it's only perfect in the eyes of one person...

I try not to feel guilt about it. Rich white folks get what they want through privilege. Going to a top notch college is a great equalizer for everyone else who wasn't lucky enough to be born to the right parents - if you can get there.

Well... the MV campus of google has over 6000 employees. Facebook has maybe 200, tops. This is like Ohio State losing a football game to Oberlin in terms of sheer population advantage. Then again... there are no ultimate scholarships, and

Ok.. let's say the person falls in the middle of all your described ranges. Less than 10 engineers, not a phd, not a high school kid, but experience is specific to what they are working on. Obviously, that person wouldn't fall in the middl
