"If my current job were as a taxi driver and my choices were retain my current job or become a contractor at Uber, I would switch to Uber." Why? I don't think it is very clear that being a Uber driver is better than a taxi d

idk, maybe Uber shouldn't be allowed to operate illegally by declaring all its employees as contractors. I'm not allowed to do this so I don't really understand why Uber can. If you have a job how would you like being reclas

This kinda seems like a choice that the subject is making. He could do a less "glamorous" job and not live in one of the most expensive cities in America if he wanted to.

So do none of these gifts include actual food or alcohol? This all looks very nice and I would use this for clients if the cheese tray included cheese and the drinking set included alcohol.

I guess here is one of the big problems with these solutions. Post scarcity is not even a thing. There will always be finite amounts of different resources or creations. So even if we live in crazy robot utopia world people will be creati

His "solution" at the end was some thinly veiled communism. His proposed economy didn't even make sense. There was nothing stopping people from accumulating wealth and basically taking over.

I remember reading a past article about this when it happened with a lot of evidence. Pretty sure it is real.

Why are people investing in this? Everything about it sounds illegal.

I think it really depends how big their company is. You can mostly do whatever you want when you are operating a small business. However, when you run a big company that company exerts a big influence on other people's lives and need

You got downvoted so now I'm confused. Which was it, because they are two very different things.

So she had an affair with her superior right? I think its strange how many articles and interviews I have heard in the last two days where somehow that is not mentioned.

I have a macbook and an xps. I like the xps better for several reasons. It is difficult if not impossible to output a macbook to a tv over hdmi and also send audio. Also the dongle that does hdmi conversion breaks all the time. Our offic

How would you not? You still need to get something you like, which is always hard and subjective with design.

That is fine that there are firmware updates or whatever, but your smart tv is like 1000x slower than a roku 3 and doesn't have the app depth. In 2 years it will be several more orders of magnitude worse than whatever new peripheral I

They will never be awesome. It is like having built in navigation in your car vs an iPhone. Built in is proprietary bs that will always be out of date, and hardware refreshes will take like 5+ years because how often do you get a new tv. R

We use 99designs from time to time. I am looking at the sketchdeck site and I don't really understand how this is different.

I think he meant that most shaders only receive four light sources. However I am not a low level graphics guy but my understanding is that deferred or not most shaders will only receive four light sources.

Solving discrete problems with discrete answers is just not the hard part of real life, at least not the entrepreneurial part which I am the most familiar with. Starting and completing a huge project that doesn't have deadlines where y

You can't assess anything until college is over and you are actually in the real world. Good Grades does not mean you will succeed in real life. It mostly means you are good at following orders.

Look at the arenas, they are beautiful. They have cloth objects blowing in the wind. Everything looks like it was custom made from scratch. "Let me guess, every arena had a bike shed off to one side?" I'm guessing that was

Just to be clear. I do think the accelerometer/hardware part would be very difficult. I also think the software side of that would be super hard which is why I'm guessing it would take over a year once you have the hardware. In

Wait this is even worse. They didn't even build any hardware at all. So just to be clear in less then a year they spent half a million and used other peoples hardware and didn't even have a real gameplay demo. "It also does

I don't really think it was an engine so much as a peripheral with some mediating libraries. I would do that plus write a C# interop to make it compatible with unity so you could make your die by the sword clone quickly. What they wer

No. I don't agree with this at all. We had like 160k with kickstarter for Road Redemption and have made a game on early access that has sold enough to easily continue development. The problem 100% was that Neal Stephenson was incapab

Yeah that story conveniently left out the part where he had neuro-syphilis and was slowly becoming more and more retarded. At the end he had the intelligence of like a 4 year old. I doubt he was all there when this was going down.
