   You make this sound easy and guaranteed. Perhaps give a few examples of side projects that will generate $200k in ARR within 5 years?

   $200k is far from affluent in Texas, unless you're in a small town in BFE. $200k is solidly middle class in Dallas.

   I tried every single AR/VR HMD at CES 2017. So if they were there and they had a demo, yes.

   I'm very aware of the direction of VR/AR. Prior to my new line of work, I assisted corporations with invention mining in the head mounted display tech area. Despite having fairly intimate knowledge of the tech and what's curr

   Blown away? Hyperbole of the century. At CES this year, I tried all the VR/AR tech I could get my hands on. Microsoft HoloLens, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Sony VR, Galaxy Gear, and everything in between. I wasn't expecting much and ye

   I don't know if they gave up on it, or if it's simply not ready for primetime and/or the market isn't currently open to the idea of battery sharing. Once marketshare increases, car sharing increases, etc., and people bec

   Since the initial reveal, I have been utterly underwhelmed by this product. I fail to see a viable market or a satisfactory use case for such an oddly designed and artificially limited gaming device, and am confident that it will be yet ano

   I pointed out that this guy failed to properly attribute the work, and he blocked me on Medium. What a piece of work.

    Snap-to-gallery is an awesome feature addition for casual users, and I'd use it but-for having a Snagit license.

    Props to mods and/or OP for changing the link from a reposter's blog to the original source. In order to give at least a portion of the comments in this thread context, the original post linked to a recent blog post which wholesal

    It seems a little nefarious to blanket copy Matt Might's article, lead it with some emphasized and bolded statements that give the impression that the article is the work of the poster and distract from the plain text attribution. It l

    Applied and hired? I know a few guys who did GSoC a few times, hired full-time, left for a start-up, rehired, left again for a start-up, rehired into Google X, left again for a start-up, and now has Google begging for him to come back again

    Maybe the entire thing is an orchestrated PR stunt by a hiring competitor. Or, maybe this is a guy who isn't lacking: 1) hubris and 2) cash flow, who wanted to give Google a go. Along the way, he compiled a massive amount of informatio

    And applying for an entry-level development position. He is not lacking in hubris, so imagine the managerial nightmare he'd likely impose for a collection of non-managers.

    This is bad press for the candidate, not Google. They dodged a bullet.

    I have to assume that they didn't want someone who was so fanatically and excessively eager and ambitious. He broadcasted that he studied full-time for eight months for the interview. They want people who can walk in and own the interv

    Same boat as you. I have a late-2011 17" MBP with an i7, maxed out RAM, and a 512GB SSD. I think that the graphics processor is starting to fail and I'm starting to experience some very odd DNS-related issues with the OS. I am ver

    Wow, they claimed that they reduced their prices by 10%. What I'm seeing on the website is a 100% price increase. Talk about price gouging, and what a way to be reintroduced to the general market! 2015 Zen Booster Set: 216 Zen Magnets.

    This post shows that you, too, are a member of "the public" which is ignorant "to what is going on at the uspo." It's the USPTO, by the way. Can anyone find out who they are? Of course you can. You can find t

    It granted, indeed. Albeit with a slightly narrower claim scope. See my analysis of the issued independent claim.

    I really wish more people knew how to read a patent. These knee-jerk (incorrect) reactions only serve to generate hysteria.

    Two important considerations: 1. This link is to the as-filed application. The recited claims are not what ultimately issued. Linking to the application rather than the granted patent is dubious. https://www.google.com/paten
