This still isn't that unique to the medical industry. What about software contracts? Sometimes things go over time/budget, but this scenario should be worked out beforehand. You don't tell a client "Sorry we had to bring

Here's a question, is it copyright infringement to serve modified versions of a song? We know that attempts to censor movies have not held up in court, how is this different? Did all the publishers agree to this in their contract with

I know it's already being expressed in this thread, but could people please just take 5 seconds to think before they build things? Do we really have to ruin one of the good parts of the Internet for some Twitter clout?

My last two jobs have had this lack of cynicism, but I would describe only one of them as toxic. We were going straight to the top and anyone who left was a traitor. The other simply considered the products to be incredibly important and li

They've already existed, and had fun, engaging content. Meta in that sense is putting the cart before the horse. You can't convince us all to get into this world and then figure out what we're supposed to be doing there later

My first instinct was to say this seems like an overreaction to a joke, but this is a meme that originated from 4chan and the worst parts of reddit, so you might not be far off, given the track records for violence there.

Trying to write off schools as a bad idea entirely seems pretty dumb to me. I’ve got young kids in school, and I understand the criticisms, but I’m also constantly amazed at how quickly they are learning. Having free quality public educatio

Seems like Rust is hitting peak popularity right now so there are tons of people out there feeling slightly insecure about their new language and needing to defend it every time someone picks a competitor.

Hot showers are a truly amazing luxury. Historically not even the wealthiest people on the planet have had access to them. It’s a nice thing to think about when it’s 0 degrees outside and you’re taking a shower for probably a few pennies of

In my experience this cuts both ways. Becoming emotionally invested in a product you don't have a huge amount of control over is dangerous, but on the other hand, believe that your work is unimportant is depressing when you have to do

I would say it's because they are stressed about problems that are much too big for them. A single person has essentially 0 influence over politics, climate change, and social issues, yet people spend hours a day getting fed news and h

I thought the dock scratching the screen was a hoax that was dispelled roughly at the same time it launched. My kids have been docking it very ungracefully for years and it’s not scratched.

Seems like you’re overthinking it to me. If you want your kids to read books, take them the library or a bookstore. They’re bound to find something they like with enough exposure. That’s got to have a bigger impact than whether they see you

This is awesome. I miss hinges. The Switch is great, but I loved being able to throw my sp or ds into a bag or pocket without worrying about scratching it.

It's an odd coincidence that Horizon Call of the Mountain is the flagship game for PSVR2 and Horizon Worlds is the game Meta is pushing for Oculus. Probably not great for Sony.

Yeah I can see that. Calling big companies has been terrible forever, but customer service in physical stores has gone downhill. Mostly they all seem short-staffed. Seems like lots of stores let people go, and didn't replace them in fa

Those look pretty cool. Also good to see other companies getting products out there. It would be terrible if Meta gets a stranglehold on the ecosystem.

Zuckerberg seems to really think that VR is the next ”big thing” like the iPhone. I’m curious what people here think about that. I’m currently on the skeptical side for a couple of reasons. The tech isn’t there. These headsets are bulky and
