It's sad, but it may not be wrong. The AOC's of the world are popular for a reason.

I have kids, folding laundry is at least an active 15 minutes every day. I'd pay way more than 5000 to get that time back. If you skip a day it piles up, and soon you have hours worth of folding waiting for you.

Is the system different for Civilians? It seems like a system that is so fragile would be a pretty big vulnerability for something that is in such high use by the Military.

It's pretty true, he could have been more honest on the introductory post, and probably had succeeded the same. Except it would have felt like a more genuine interaction.

Makes me think of the Stephen Castor incident yesterday, and his use of a reusable shopping bag to bring in documents to the impeachment hearing.

This is a really cool project. To be honest, I think Brian got a steal on this. There's a ton of potential here, and I think if it was developed a bit more (developed from a business model point of view), there was potential to sell

To me the real utility of this, is testing "concepts". The way I would see myself using this is to create a few keyword campaigns, and then send them to these pages to see how much actual interest there is for the idea. Perhaps t

I think I like the direction of the polygonal look. That's super cool, but this design looks kind of janky.

Motion sickness is an exaggerated problem in my own experience. Your body adapts, and it kind of just goes away. I never had it with Onward, but the first few times I played Pavlov, and did some quick turns there were times I felt weird.

VR may be niche, but it's not a gimmick. I get about 1-2 hours a week to play games. I choose to spend that time in VR because it's the most enjoyable way to game for me. I don't play pancake games anymore.

From my experience, you don't notice when there's no arms, but you do notice when there's arms and they're not doing exactly what your real ones are doing.

I play mostly FPS games in VR. To be honest stabbing a dude was a pretty jarring experience the first time I did it in VR. I also remember hitting the ground pretty hard the first time I heard rounds whizzing over my head. But that kind

I think as trade tensions increase with China, there is going to be a huge market opportunity for people in the US to start overtaking some of that business that AliBaba currently owns. As a US based solution, you guys are tapping into a r

This is a really cool idea, there are other products out there that do the same thing, but there is definitely room to differentiate yourself. One interesting issue, you might need to read the context a bit more to gauge if the post is actu

"We know from an earlier experiment that facing backwards in a driverless car causes a lot of motion sickness" Could this be true for backwards facing baby seats too?

There's quite a few. Obviously Visio is popular, on Linux I've used a tool called "Dia" ( http://dia-installer.de/ ) there are several others, but these are my 2 go to tools for UML.

When I'm looking for a book, I usually look for older but still popular books. New but highly rated books are hit or miss, but those old ones that people still recommend have consistently been great reads.

This is a scary trend, it's bad enough that anytime I talk to someone online I question if they're a real person. Now we might be transitioning to an era where I can't trust my coworkers either.
