Sounds like the problem is with your manager. IMHO a good manager is more than welcome in project management and update meetings and should be a helper to get things done, not a stressor.

Agreed, not sure how well this has aged for a variety of reasons. If you really follow these things during "war times" most SaaS companies will attrit their core competent staff and be left with no army. Not a winning move.

Maybe it's just me, but the regulatory oversight around these automated features seems insufficient. I'm trying to imagine equivalents from older passive safety technology like seatbelts that don't always work, airbags that p

Thank you for posting this. I am also in a situation where I am a mid level manager for a globally distributed team. The advice of "just have less meetings" or "force an agenda for all of them" has already been followed

To be clear, the article says "Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died." The issue is with reporting (the denominator). The bar for "reporting" COVID-19 positive is very high relative to the flu, especi

At $1k per headset these numbers get interesting. And only 1 month of sales. I realize low margin, it's hardware and all, but $100m in headset sales in one month? Is my math right?

Agree with all of the comments here which can be basically boiled down to: the hardware, especially the Quest, is great and "ready" for prime time. However the software is not. Yes, agreed 100%. As a hobbyist web vr developer I&#x

I was just looking at the source code, it appears `map` is a global variable that is a 7x7 grid representing your current city (49 arrays of `[0,0]` by default). This could be serialized to a URL hash that could be shared. source: https:&#

Yes this is the "most right" answer among this entire thread of comments and even missing from the article. We have literally designed ourselves into isolation and we wonder why we are lonely?

Yeah this whole thing depends on volume. Obviously mosquitoes don't "listen" to music the same way we do. So effectively electronic dance music at a large volume becomes pulsating waves of air pressure. Relative to their size

They're also so cheap that you can order a couple variants and assume that a few won't work out for some reason. You'll then have a bunch of spares still at a fraction of the cost of the US monopoly eyewear companies.
