Nothing... because methane in the arctic will end human civilization by then. http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/p/extinction.html?m=1 It makes more sense to take big risks with money and then use any big payoffs to hel

Politicians won't solve it... but Global warming is already solved by nature. Rocks pull CO2 out of the atmosphere by weathering. All humanity needs to do is spend about $200 billion per year on mining and crushing olivine rocks and s

Had a Vive for months, still play it 4 times a week. That's not going to stop because it's pretty much replaced my workouts. Instead of doing a 30 min intense workout, I do two hours in the Vive. It used to be more Holoball, Holo

Yeah this military guy can't see past flight simulators and seated experiences in vehicles. No one gets sick as long as your movement in VR is one-to-one with the real world. Just like when mobile apps came out, existing games didn&#x

I wasn't impressed with VR until I saw a demo of Tilt Brush. When you can use your hands accurately in a virtual world it opens up millions of possibilities for new interfaces. Gamers are already spending lots of time in VR. If we al

HP Pavillion 17.3 inch, 8GB RAM. Got it a year and half ago for about $350. I like it. I'm a back-end web developer(php, node.js, python) that likes using Windows. Everyone else at work is on Macs.

Coding without purpose is like eating by using a feeding tube. What's the point? I've done useless projects at school and at work but the point of those projects was to get credentials or money. If you're doing this for fun,

Build mining robots. Those robots can mine olivine, crush the rocks, and spread it all over the oceans. We can offset all human CO2 emissions with this method.

Unpopular opinion here... Anyone can be a doctor! I've had multiple health problems over the years that I've cured by doing the proper research online. Most doctors wouldn't even consider the solutions that helped me because

This comment says everything better than I could say it. Programming is a solitary activity where you solve logic puzzles. Anyone can do it. Another activity that is very similar is playing chess - yet no one is up in arms that chess scho

I think there's a reason nature doesn't allow a frog to breed with a plant. You can call it a scare tactic... but with GMOs we're doing things that would be impossible to try with traditional methods.

Sorry I didn't mean to label you. I still think the analogy holds because DNA is so much like source code. If software keeps eating the world maybe everything else will be software too... well I can only hope.

Over the last few years I've seen many comments on Hacker News that are pro-GMO. The thing is... I don't understand how any respectable developer could support programming DNA with current technologies. You know how they code new

I saw a YC partner once say "we don't mind solo founders, it's just that you have to be 4 times as good." I've decided to focus on becoming 4 times as good. If I build a product that can't be ignored then I&#x

No don't burn it, we should piss it away... You see my idea is to install hydro turbines inside men's urinals at major corporations. Then everyone will piss on them generating free electricity... that electricity powers work co

I hate reading articles like this. Seems like people like this live in a different world. I'm just grinding everyday at my 9-5... then I go to a coworking space for my "5-9" to code my startup. Reading stuff like this makes

Even backbone isn't worth the added complexity IMO. All these frameworks make you write more code than needed... and because people started to feel it wasn't worth it, their latest pitch focuses on speed. They say the "virtua

It's like they monitored the front-page of HN everyday for a year, made a list of the top mentioned technologies and then gave that list to their management. Their manager said "Your goal is to write a blog post mentioning each on

Listing everything I do for nutrition probably won't help anyone - people can't be told to add/remove certain foods without a strong belief that it will be beneficial to them. It's like politics. You can't convince

I'm a different person due to the supplements and food I eat. I'm obsessed about always improving my nutrition and supplement stack. It's paying off in terms of how much work I'm capable of doing. "Give your body

On the southside I was offered $40k for custom Magento development (php) after a "trial period"... they said $50k was impossible for the next couple years even if I did great. That offer was the worst I've ever heard. Now I

Retirement was 40 years away, and I was confident that I'd start making some serious money with one of my ideas. Actually I'm still optimistic about that. In startup terms I thought it would give me more runway.
