   That's a solvable problem though - it's more a matter of cost and the pixel density will go up and the cost down over time. I don't see this a long term limitation of this tech. Have you seen the Pimax 8k VR headset for insta

   Have you actually tried it? I know some of the developers and creatives that have worked with it, and they say it's more impressive when used in person than it looks in the 2d promo videos, which is the opposite of most devices.

   I am not sure it's fair to say 'this entire field'. VR is very focused on gaming, but AR has already placed a huge focus on productivity. Hololens and also the Google Glass team (yeah that's still being developed) have p

   The dice talk mentions that also (weighting by word2vec similarity). It's important to note that word2vec, LSA, sense2vec, etc, all find words that are RELATED but not necessarily SYNONYMOUS. For instance, antonyms like black and white

   They don't make decisions based on data, despite believing themselves to be a data driven company. All decisions flow from the top, and are ego-based, not data driven.

   While I agree with that person's comments, I am not sure i'd aggree that is what happened in the first Bitcoin bubble. The main event was that Mt Gox got hacked, and a number of other things happened around that time (for instance

    So to summarize your points, if Bitcoin, or what crypto-currency comes to dominate, becomes a serious global currency to rival that of the dollar, if it's horded and not used to transact or invest in the economy, which is a danger due

    I think it's important to differentiate between the potential of crypto-currencies as currency, and the technology that powers them - the blockchain. I think the blockchain has a huge potential to revolutionize many industries. Whether

    Have you seen the TPCast? That makes the vive wireless, and can already by shipped from China, coming to the US later this year. Intel is also releasing something similar for the vive next year. So that is wireless. LG is bringing out a Ste

    I have had both our homes (we rent one out) independently estimated and both are worth 25-30% more than the Zestimate. I live in IL like the realtor in the article. Zillow is consistently lower than other sites. The most accurate estimates

    I hate it for all the reasons you describe. The power connector and excellent battery life were some of the best things about the old MBP, and I can't stand the new keyboard.

    What implications does this have for VR glasses like the Vive and the rift. Those use OLED displays?

    Spaced repetition is very effective, although again it does require flash cards, but optimizes (i.e. minimizes) the frequency at which you have to review them based on how you are learning.

    I just pre-ordered. Despite the clearly better quality of the Vive according to every review I've read (specifically around the full body tracking) I am worried the Oculus has much better brand awareness and will leave this in the dust
