Surprising no not really. Facebook has greatly improved the oculus link functionality for the Quest. You can now play PC VR wirelessly with an application called Virtual Desktop. I beat half life Alyx this way and it was awesome. No link ca

I did this exact thing and got in big in march 2020. I also heavily bought US tech stocks the day brexit passed. To me it seemed like free money.

What happens when this unelected body "revokes" your passport? You just don't get to go anywhere anymore? Will this be used to remove political enemies from society? What if there is bugs in the system? SV is terrible at cust

I recall a friend having a pentium 1 at 100mhz and could only play 64-128 kbps mp3's if he did literally nothing else. The song would skip from time to time and would immediately start skipping if you moved the mouse. From what I remem

Why blame the guy trying to make the process easy for everyone? He gave the dealership a sweetheart deal and he still got screwed.

Add Oculus to the list of terrible support. It took ~100 days to resolve an issue with them disabling my account. It is pretty hard to talk to a human without having to wait a week. Never buy any hardware directly from them. If you have any

I feel it is more about escaping the corporate machine than "doing nothing." For many the modern office workplace is insufferable. You could argue they should go into business for themselves and some appear to do so.

Indeed. My 4 year old Oneplus phone taught me that China can make a phone just as good as anyone else. It's a quality product and was at a great price. With that said, my next phone will be an iPhone. I am trying to de-china whenever I

This is exactly why I bought a copy of Tropic Thunder on blu ray. I suspect that one day this movie will not be on streaming services.

Exactly. Some of the best selling games are games like Call of Duty, GTA or Mortal Kombat. Any game like that would have a full on employee revolt as people demanded the team involved to be fired.

I don't believe Google has the right culture to make compelling video games anyways. Maybe at best a super safe mario clone for children. Anything remotely controversial will have half the staff protesting threatening to quit.

Seems to me the smart thing to do is to have provisions that will charge them money if they pull out of the deal after you laid all trade secrets bare. Seems like it's not unheard of to have payouts when a buyout falls through.

Seems to me humans are really good at 'catching up' based on what we perceive as possible. For example when a new world record is set in a sport often the idea of such a performance is possible raises the bar for the entire field

Agreed. Connections at best let me skip the phone screen and do the onsite leetcode at FAANG. Maybe I just don't have friends at the >= VP level?

Not all your power requirements will go directly to the motherboard though in that single connector. For example the GPU will have its own dedicated power plug(s). I would expect the motherboard to need < 500w for most systems.

Has a company like Google ever released data proving this? Latino's make up a fairly large number of the people that live in the bay area (23.5% [1]) yet there are like what 3.6%[2] of those people working at google. Seems like a prett

The "standardized" interview at companies like Google has lead to them hiring mostly White/Asian males though... I have had plenty of people tell me that interviewing at Google is essentially a roll of the dice these days. Yo

This could be a case of moderate anosognosia? Living alone can be terrible for mental health. I know a guy around your age after a divorce decided to move in with some younger roommates in SV, even though he had plenty of money to live alon

Yeah I have to go in monthly to get mine as well. Thanks to college kid abuse and the opiate crisis doctors cover their ass when it comes to writing stimulant scripts. This means monthly visits (and they get $300 each time) and sometimes dr

Yeah this seems to really help some people. There are easier to get medications than the hardcore stimulants to treat ADHD. They might not work as well, but access (and perhaps potential side effects) is better.

For some folks wellbutrin/bupropion can be used to treat ADHD. It is schedule IV so access is easy and generics (I think generics kinda suck for me with this med) are very cheap. Does it work as good as stimulants? Nope, but its certai

Not a doctor but sometimes ADHD-like symptoms can be other things like being bipolar. There are a lot of non-stimulant and non-drug options to explore.

You can avoid becoming resistant to the medication by taking "holidays". I usually do this Friday-Sunday most weeks. A daily alternative can be wellbutrin or aplenzin as well. Also most people can get away with generics so even wi
