Hadn't heard of this product but it looks pretty cool, although at this point for me content is a bigger problem than hardware with VR. But congrats on what looks like a cool product. One thing I'd like to hear is how this device

I think your characterization of your device as fitting a new category is entirely fair, but you don't do yourself favors by using glib language to describe competing products/categories: "We decided early on that, given the

I haven't heard of this bag brand and I'm not a one-bag person, but just looking at their technology, the 1000 D. Cordura Nylon seems interesting, I wonder if anyone knows if it contains PFAS?

I wonder when fecal microbiome transplant will be the next 'just try psilocybin / ketamine' and if it will work well. Find a happy friend and freeze some of their poop, put it in gelcap, swallow it. See if it fixes the eterna

Ironically, if it were the case that people didn't "feel [they] were able to be [themselves] at work", then you wouldn't know if some of those 20 people were faking their political views in order to fit in. Making an ass

The dating economy is quite painful, and there likely is inequality of attraction, but the author does make an incorrect usage of their own evidence. "If these findings are to be believed, the great majority of women are only willing t

This kind of comparison makes no sense because whether quality of life is better in US or Europe depends on the US city/state vs European city/country you are comparing in each, as well as whether you're comparing someone of

It seems to me as if you're simply missing the fundamental difference in that you don't understand (likely because you haven't experienced it firsthand with a friend or loved one) the value of physical/social presence en

I have no doubt these crimes do get written about, but they're third-rate beats, rarely front-page material. They don't lead to mass condemnation, they don't lead to boycotts, they don't result in congressional hearings.

The alternative to 'capitalism as we see it today' is not socialism. It's capitalism without regulatory capture and functional regulatory bodies that have teeth and use them.

that's fair, and it does remain to be seen if the 'truly good VR/AR' is a few years away or several decades. I'm not optimistic about solving for virtual 'touch'/kinesthetic sense.

My point was that your comment "VR makes most people nauseous" is criticizing the metaphorical vacuum tubes of VR/AR - IE: current VR/AR implementation != all possible VR/AR implementation. So you're criticizin

They really can't. Civil liberties and privacy were popular after the Patriot Act, and then they weren't. Occupy Wallstreet and the 2008 bailout led to widespread dissatisfaction with the finance industry, and then it didn't
