I experienced TiltBrush over the weekend with the HTC Vive / SteamVR set at a friend's house. It was an amazing experience. By far the best VR experience I had to date (I have a DK2). The creative joy and glee you feel when painti

So far I haven't seen anyone mention the H-1B applicants already in the country. FWIW that's a large number of people. I don't have any stats on that, but assume that it's at least 50% of applicants. Many foreign nationa
