I think the point you make about walled gardens needs to be addressed more than it is. It seems to have become normalized across all platforms and that is disturbing. I fundamentally disagree with the premise of a walled garden when there a

They were Vive headsets. From the moment I put on the helmet something feels off and I can't quite focus on objects comfortably without some kind of strain. I've learned over time to let my eyes just relax and not try to focus but

Not a scientist. I'm a developer who has been working in the neuroscience field for 15 years, specifically with brain stimulation devices. I'm not saying this qualifies as any sort of degree nor was I saying you should count my an

Perfectly valid point. I still think vergence/accommodation needs to be solved as an important key step in VR dev for more comfortable experiences. Its harder to do than just upping frame rates. You need foveated rendering to start wit

I come from a neuroscience background hence my bias. It's the fundamental way in which we focus on objects in the real world. It is not functioning normally at all with a headset on. No one Ive met can stay in VR for hours regardless o

The jury is still out on that. There simply is no research to prove or disprove what you or I are saying. My educated guess is that it actually is quite important and the key to making VR more comfortable for long term use. I think it is th

People get sick mostly because of the neurological issues associated with keeping eyes focused on objects at fixed lengths even though they are perceived as far away in the VR world. Vergence-accommodation conflict: https://mediu

Ive had several friends become paranoid while smoking pot. Some of them have been daily for years. While they may have had some paranoia not a single one of them suffered from psychosis. On the contrary most seem quite happy, laid back and

Youre being alarmist. No crisis in California, Washington or Colorado. We are all doing just fine.

by fjabre 8y ago
Yes but paranoid doesnt mean psychosis. Inexperienced users will tend to get paranoid more so. I believe people with psychosis are drawn to weed as they are to other substances. This study adds nothing new. It just demonstrates that people

You do if you want your app not to be flagged as spam. Users are perceptive. They notice when windows brings up a big notice telling them the app is not to be trusted. Perception is everything in those first few moments a user get his hands

We made it work and didnt have to ask IBMs permission to install software on its devices.

by fjabre 8y ago
This is the problem as youve highlighted. We must now contend with these power brokers and ask their permission for every install.

Centralized their efforts at our expense. They work for their shareholders.

A novel idea. Apple and googles own apps have been tampered with. Indeed there are compromised apps available for download now on both stores. Perhaps it's 'safer' but now we all ask permission and pay a huge tax to release s

Every good dev knows to stay the hell away from sourceforge!

by fjabre 8y ago
Of course but all of the above mentioned can still happen and does happen today with all security measures in place. With the added benefit that we must ask permission of a private entity to release an app and we must pay 30% of our profits

I remember the good old days when people were actually trusted to do their own research before downloading a potentially dangerous exe. Now all we have are app store and certificate rackets. Im looking at Google and Apple too. Shame on the

So what? Is that fast by some global standard? I dont think the US is any gold standard for inet access. They gave the internet away to evil corp. There has been no good news since then, except maybe for this recent push by Dems. ISPs like

Google is ridiculous with its API restrictions and lackluster offerings. For a software company it astounds me how poor and mismanaged their API options are. Unreliable in the sense they pull the plug a lot with these pet projects leaving d

Excellent. Thank you. Do you think there is any hope of finding intact DNA from something as old as Triassic period for example?

I think everyone is tired of being ripped off by out of date copyright laws and industry shenanigans. The music industry is full of blood thirsty lawyers, big ticket prices, unjust YT algorithms, and death by a thousand cuts with all the mo

Is there any upside to staying private if you're profitable?

You certainly will get more space for the money in LA at least. While LA rents have increased dramatically the last several years it does not rival cost of living in NYC from my experience.

And isolated away from the LA sprawl Long Beach and Marina/Venice/SM are sizable cities unto themselves. It's a common misconception. Yes LA is not walkable but many cities inside of it are and are some of the most walkable p

by fjabre 8y ago
And I would as some neighborhoods in LA are the size of smaller and midsize cities elsewhere. I grew up in Boston which is extremely walkable, yet LA has several walkable cities close to the size of Boston within its city limits.

Ive lived in NY and LA. I definitely had worse traffic problems in NYC than LA. Ive never seen my GPS do the sort of gymnastics it did when driving to Long Island during rush hour.
