"I disagree, I think VR is going to be the next big thing but it will take a few generations of HW and SW to get there". I would say, based solely on this statement, that VR is not the next big thing according to your own narrativ

I get that, but do they really need to buy solarcity to do that partnership? Why would SCTY not just become a sales channel for TSLA?

I think the major problem is the total lack of synergy between Tesla and SCTY. Tesla has a sales program which is basically 0 marketing, 0 sales, 100% inbound and SCTY is tele-sales + door to door (which is payroll intensive and harder to m

There are lots of holy grails in networking. PCells are possible today but there's basically zero business cases for rolling this tech. Consider that users don't want to pay more for faster access.

You are parsing it incorrectly. Can I be 'kik'-ed. Kik being the operative word here not the slur to which you refer.

I think Google is selling BD (and is putting all of the BD propaganda out) because the BD robots are 1) fairly useless outside of military applications and 2) BD is a ghost town because Andy left and took a lot of the brainpower with him. F

If you are moving bits from $External_DC to AWS, your best bet is to colo inside Equinix (or equivalent) and use their cross-connect to AWS service. If you have 100 fiber interconnects between you and AWS, you can move a lot of data (it bec

They likely will have ITAR hardware in the same workspace as the software guys to minimize logistical overhead. Foreign nationals can't see any ITAR stuff.

When you think about the governance of cults, do you think the latitude society could've worked if the authors had been upfront about their intentions from day 1? That is to say, if the invitation had said "we are building a secre

This has a few of reasons: 1) all abstraction necessarily adds a performance penalty. 2) Hypervisors or VMs have core affinity, but, often, multiple VMs and Hypervisors are pinned to the same core. Since one cpu cannot expose time to two di

I see a bunch of negative votes so I'll expand as I was not trying to be facetious or sarcastic. The first magic leap demo I ever heard of (and, because I'm not under an NDA with them this is all hearsay) was a cup of coffee on a

The floating robot is not doable on the hololens because metallic effects require black, which is not reproducible on the hololens display... Yes, I have seen the photos of hololens output that show black. I don't believe that's a

I was, at one time very recently, very deep in the VR/AR space. It seems to me that there will be quite a bit of time before people accept projectors pointed at their eyeballs (or however you want to explain Magic Leap's "dig
