In related news, comapnies pay for ads on TV and Brad Pitt was paid to drink Pepsi in WWZ. World shocked.

Honestly, the number of people who have at home experiences even close to cinema quality or "audiophile" grade is incredibly few. Most people have average priced HD TVs, a cheap bluray player and maybe a soundbar. The people who o

Honestly, any article that says something like "it never will" is setting itself up for failure. Writing a commentary on current technologies is fine, but implying some knowledge of the future and what is possible is just ignorant

"every diabetic I know would switch to this in a blink" I see what you did there.

This has always been one of my biggest fears. People always assume diabetics need insulin, when in most cases of unconsciousness, insulin could be deadly.

I will wear an ankle bracelet for Google if it means I get my hands on this.

I would too, I would get a job at Google in their lab if it meant being able to take one home early.

Just curious, how old are you and how long have you had it? I've had it for 11 years this February, and while my A1C is pretty terrible (high), the idea that I might not be able to detect lows eventually is pretty terrifying.

Honestly, even when there's money for medical attention, these people still exist. In Toronto we still have people like that, though from what I heard, less of them. Here, a man like that would've had access to all the medical hel

Nothing in particular, it is very similar to other languages like Java, I just wouldn't recommend it for saving the world. Unless the world is being attacked by Flash game loving aliens.

I suppose, I guess almost all violence then becomes meaningful too. I guess unnecessary would be the better word. Though really I just don't want to live on this planet anymore.

The fear isn't meaningless, but the violence is. There is no reality where smashing the windows on a cab is going to change their situation.

My biggest surprise is that nobody did something like this sooner. Especially how distracting it is when someone in a movie is controlling a weapons system or saving the world with code written in ActionScript. Unless ActionScript somehow b

Saw the tweets this morning, a bit terrifying. Humanity always somehow surprises me in its capacity for meaningless violence.

I'm type 1 too, there's potential, but the same problem with degradation exist. If you eat something that slows down or speeds up digestion or alters it in any way, it could give you a lot of highs and lows. It's like how cer

I'd say, for a hardware hacker, one they build themselves. I'm building one right now, have ordered all the parts for relatively cheap and it will be a lot more powerful than a Parrot Drone and gives me more freedom with what I wa

Is it weird that I find this mesmerizing despite there being a foot of the real stuff outside my door?

You'd have to be pretty stupid to not know this was illegal. The things people are actually going to track you down for you can be pretty damn sure are easily identifiable as illegal. Sure, you may not be aware your Halloween costume o

I think this is the best title on HN today. Especially the "According to Rainbow Gravity" missing the theory bit.

That requires very difficult circumstances that almost certainly can't occur at the planetary scale.
