I vehemently disagree. VR has the potential to medicate the two biggest illnesses of our time, namely growing old/frail and being lonely -- not necessarily in a healthy way, but, again, think of it as medication to manage pain. This is

VR does not have to compete with anything resembling a perfect life or a perfect moment (although I am sure it can and it will). Think of it as a drug, a tool for the sick and the unhappy. Betting against VR feels like betting against drugs

Something that I feel a lot of coders grapple with is that these 3 tasks are highly disconnected from each other. It is absolutely common to have someone who is incredibly proficient with CSS (maybe more and more so in tandem with some fron

Why does the author have to write a book just to get your E-Mail? It's a transaction. Obviously as the consumer you would prefer having the upside without the downside. The same is true for the vendor. We usually meet somewhere in the

Basically everything computer that interfaces with humans is graphical. That doesn't mean it's in the designers domain to fix. A designer is not responsible for making sure that the implementation of their design runs at stutter f

It is a very good metric. To have baseline UX awareness is crucial for every developer on any team that sets out to build a great product, just like any effective designer has to be aware of physical limitations of his design space (for e

Not in that order though, unfortunately: Unless you are using really shitty speakers, room acoustics trumps everything else pretty quickly. For anyone who has never listened to music in a well treated environment I found https:/&#x2

It is as simple as it ever was to do what could be done 15 years ago with a simple text editor and access to the internet. Any adjoining aspect has gotten easier and cheaper by a magnitude. It's just that what people want has gotten a

The problem is it's not actually a problem unless you consciously remind yourself it is. Put bluntly, me using gmail has 0 negative impact on my everyday life. What does have negative impact on my life is 1) paying for stuff (always, n

Fast forward to the future, where I will have to choose and pick the right saas evaluation service to help me pick and choose my saas stack. I hope somebody is working on something already :^)

What is your niche? What is it that makes you succeed in this crowded space?

Absolutely fucking not. If stuff like this happened at any place I ever worked at heads would roll, and fast. These things are highly cultural: If you land at a place (like, apparently, Riot) and you are outnumbered by a few hundred people

I have little insight on spying issues (or how MS compares to what Apple, Google or everyone else is doing regarding that nowadays) but coming from Windows 7 I have zero practical complaints about using Windows 10 over it. I like the WSL bu

Interestingly, Reed Hastings (Netflix CEO) disagrees with you. At Recode 2017 he said looking forward they are "never going to be as good at what [Amazon] are trying to be [regarding the media sector]" (spectrum, library size), bu

I think daily tracking in combination with a long term goal is key here, because it allows you some wiggle room when it comes to progress while having a strong rubber band effect (that gets stronger the more you sway) to get you back on tra

The answer can be both or neither, or an variable amount of "to approach an (as in 'one possible') answer let's get a whole lot more specific" That is the essence or morality (at least to me). Very interesting link,

Is it okay to not torture someone, if by doing so other people might die? Is it okay to not (legally or illegally) surveil a people, if that might result in physical harm to them? How much does the chance of missing out on action x to (

I fail to see how any employees/CEOs personal ad viewing preference would be relevant here. Employees, CEOs and businesses in general like generating cash and/or getting paid. If an ad network being down hinders their ability to d

Certainly not, considering how heavily businesses rely on ad networks as a source of revenue (both by selling ad space but even more so by buying ad space and advertising their products)

That is not what has been stated though. They said the majority have become poorer, not the poor. Whether that's true or not, to me, seems to depend on your definition of individual wealth, it either being relative to total wealth or

A valuation is defined as an estimation of value. It's not a guarantee, it's not a sale contract, but does that make it rainbows and unicorns? Well, about as much as any other estimation around a highly complex and mostly unique c

Welcome to the economics of ad free websites (for now, at least). A large percentage of people simply will not pay for website access, no matter how low the price. So you get your money from those who do, who value the service so highly t

While it's reasonable to expect them to get it right, it is obviously going to go wrong from time to time, as with experts working any other field.
