VR pool and VR golf seem worth making for the Vive. Also swordfighting. In fact, all three of those have something in common: You want to hold an object (cue, club, sword), not just a controller. I know there are vive trackers that you can

Why does it feel jarring?

For what it’s worth, whenever someone seems arrogant on the internet, it’s easier to just ignore them than call them out. After all, they could be right.

I didn't mean to argue. Thank you for taking the time to explain that.

Anyone know how Project Loon is doing? It's been awhile since I've heard anything. https://x.company/loon/ It seemed similar.

I do. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that the old way of thinking has apparently died out. At no point have I been more likely to convert to a free software zealot. I'll have to rethink my stance going forward on pretty much everyt

Nah, I don’t blame the formality. What seems true is that both ipfs and blockchain technologies will make these legal tools obsolete. What if we were to set up a project in response to this that made the Magic Leap API docs available in a d

All other arguments aside, I’m uncomfortable with a world in which developers are bullied and intimidated by large corporations over nothing. In this case, it’s 3 month old api docs distributed to myself, which may be absurd enough to possi

If it benefits others. That’s all I care about. It seems like tolerating this may not be in the best interest of the community going forward. And I would find it interesting to be able to claim that magic leap has sued me for distributing 3

Sure. But are they really going to drag me into court? I’m not trying to defend myself, or say that I wasn’t doing that. But I was hoping to know whether it would be helpful to sacrifice myself for the greater good here. If this is a situat

Howdy, I'm not sure if this is an appropriate venue, but I wanted to ask the community what to do. The details can be found in that reddit post. In summary, a trademark lawyer is sending me threatening emails for uploading Magic Leap&#

This has always fascinated me. It's very strange to think about the fact that society works this way, and that it has to.

BlockedIn Especially if it works. More seriously, it's cool that keybase solved the identity problem. It's traditionally been a very hard thing to know for a fact that you're speaking with a certain individual, unless they we

It's sort of not cool to choose a16crypto as your username. HN wouldn't work if we didn't have identities, and traditionally the identity of the author is taken by the author. On the other hand, it's immediately obvious

Yo, this probably isn't the type of HN comment you're used to, but I just wanted to say thanks for enriching the dota community. I know that's not really why you're doing any of this, but as someone who's deeply inv

They are not necessarily mistaken just because we have a hypothesis. It's a fact that it's harder for women to lose weight than men in certain cases. Their point was that "caloric deficit" is different for each person, a

I prefer magic-wormhole. pip install magic-wormhole wormhole send foo.tar.gz Bonus: the files are e2e encrypted. Still, transfer.sh is hard to beat for flexibility. Magic-wormhole requires that users install something.

Rather, it's a result of the depth of the value we provide and the number of people we provide that value to. Outcome > input Not really. It’s mostly family connections.

Discord is the new old internet. There are thousands of servers to discover, and to surf. Whether it’s anime or games or programming, there’s a niche server that has interesting people to chat with. If you’re missing the old internet, try h

Find someplace that challenges you. When you don’t feel challenged, move on. Rinse and repeat. I like this question because everyone has their own answer. It all depends what you want out of life.

I read through your comment history to try to find some examples. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16928482 There’s a recurring pattern: people ask you to back up what you say, and then you respond with “I won’t do that

HN loves nothing more than a contrarian statement backed with substance. If comments have been flagged, it’s usually due to a lack of effort. The effort is worthwhile.

The blockquotes are fine. It’s for code, not quotes. And they have better things to focus on.
