Robo Rosewater has given me some of the best laughs. For some reason "computer gets thing slightly (or wildly) wrong" is the pinnacle of comedy to my brain.

As long as you maintain physical possession of your machine, point 3 is moot, at least on Macs.

No longer. The power lead for the camera requires electricity to pass through (and, thus illuminate) the indicator LED. Can't hack that without extensive physical access to the machine.

I'm slightly perturbed that I picked up a Rift S instead of something else. I feel like Facebook^WOculus has it next on their list of abandonware, and the vendor lock-in feels heavier by the day. No OVR stuff, Can't run anything w

Yeah, they'd done the math bit, but there wasn't really any practical application until Phil Zimmermann built and distributed (rather cleverly in some cases) PGP.

As I understand/perceive it, current price point is aimed at R&D of use cases for when that price inevitably drops.

I did my junior (high-school) year English research paper on RSA and public key encryption that year (1995). I recall using a phrase along the lines of "This may lead to more trust of The Information Superhighway, and enable its use as

Counterintuitively, a dev supporting a feature about which they care, but without any particular zealous dedication may well produce a more universally appealing product for its audience.

Everything old is new again, and the more things change, the more they stay the same. That said, the Flash client was closed-source, buggy, security-challenged, intrusive, and a memory/battery hog. All that contributed to its demise.

Nazis—by simply existing as a hateful-rhetoric-fueled, racist organization—are threatening to the lives and livelihoods of others. Punching them is just proactive defense of those others.

The whole point of the entire thread (which you seem to have missed) is that the protesters were peaceful and wanted to stay that way, and this guy came in and screwed that up, while dressed like the very force that's supposed to hel

The fact that he flips off the protesters who try to stop him and continues instigating until the police escalate. Did you watch the video?

False-flag instigators, intentionally escalating in bad faith to provoke a violent response from protesters and police alike. EDIT - Watch the instigating jerk flip off the protesters who dared confront him as he triggers what would become

The mission statements of every Antifa group of which I'm aware start with "Protect peaceful protests from violent counter-protestors." Where do you get your information from?
712.
by jachee 6y ago
I'm seeing false accusations of Antifa starting violence all over the place. It's the right-wing's boogieman-du-jours, and likely false-flag representation at best. Edit: Downvoters– tell me why you're downvoting this? W

Isn't having a loose association of slightly-organized people who vehemently oppose fascism be declared as a "terrorist organization" already starting down the authoritarian path?

Couldn't they tap into the Host PC's compute power for tethered headsets? It feels like they're trying to exclude anyone who wants to play non-Oculus-published games.

IMHO, SEO is just shorthand for SnakEOil. If gaming search engines is your Brad-and-butter, is your idea really that novel?

Answering a question with a question: Is there a better way to more-meaningfully measure "engagement" than time-on-page? Or, better yet: If it's a tiny site, do you really even have to care about time-on-page?

And who are you to gatekeep what causes people can and cannot support without a direct association? Also, you completely discredited yourself from any sort of worthy debate with "leftist mob".
