The article isn't dismissing conspiracy theories. The article is suggesting that conspiracy theories should be taken seriously and analyzed like religions because most conspiracy theories are very similar to monotheistic religions.

Then it's best to disabuse them of such notions. If they want a consistent product that is produced by the operation of an assembly line then they should invest in factories instead of software and software engineers.

It's best to give up the idea of measuring software productivity entirely. Almost no one would seriously wonder how to measure artistic productivity and software engineering is a lot more like art than most people realize because it is

The scale is too large at this point and there isn't enough computation in the world to police the platform. The only way out of this mess is to open up the walled garden and let people choose how they engage with information available

My point is that VR combined with body tracking provides an immersive experience that is not possible otherwise. Classrooms are the obvious use cases but there are industrial and medical ones as well. The point is that there are plenty of u

I haven't tried it. I tried using an RDP client once but it wasn't a good experience. Now that I know this exists I might give it a try.

One use case I can imagine is virtual classrooms where VR is used to provide a more immersive lecturing experience. Most of the technology for doing so already exists and Facebook (Facebook Reality Labs) I think is working on this and tryin

My point is if you're concerned about an existential crisis then worrying about the birth rate in one specific country doesn't really make any logical sense. Global warming is a global problem and nationalistic thinking is not how
