I think he's deluding himself a little. I think VR is going to be a niche product for a long, long time. AR, if cool enough, could maybe catch on. But it needs to be as easy as putting on shades.

Having the theory fresh in mind is a big help though I think.

Yeah, it's kinda ridiculous actually. It's like they don't even believe you were employed when they interview you.

An idea can be interesting and still be a huge waste of time. I don't think it'll end well for Meta. It'll be super interesting to see how it plays out. I think we might end up with some sweet VR tech, I just don't t

Metaverse is an interesting idea, but they're too quick to hail it as the feature of the company imo. It just looks like an expensive, boring, video game right now.

I think it just heavily favors new grads, who just spent a year+ studying algorithms. Those with full time jobs have to spend precious hours of free time remembering how to do these.

Yeah I kind of agree on the building thing, unless they just needed bigger capacity.

Yeah, private schools can be nicer because it's way easier to remove problem students. They're also typically attended by students whose parents actually care about education and make their kids do homework. Public schools are o

Well, I think the real pain point is teachers in a lot of locales are just really not paid much. Which pushes them out of poorer districts into wealthier ones where their jobs are easier and they get paid more. Even if all we did was find

Whatever the US does now is lower quality food meeting some basic nutrition standards. Often kids don't like it from what I hear. People probably are mad that that's what kids are getting despite it being pretty cost efficient.

It's definitely possible to give better school lunches out. There sort of a general school funding issue too which is frustrating to hear about so often.

My vizio runs so much better without a connection. It used to semi-regularly get into a state where the screen was blank even though the tv was on. Because it was a smart tv, powering it off wouldn't actually power cycle it. I had t

Yeah I definitely agree we have a serious lack of accountability in policing.

I mean a number of tech companies are declining in value. What would you need to see happen to consider them "in trouble"? More layoffs?

rates haven't been rising for two decades.

re:1 Yeah I mean that's obviously what I meant they're stretching to make me seem bad. If someone is going around murdering, I don't have time or the gumption to try to deal with it and somebody should. Look if you can run a

It's a complete fantasy from someone who is lucky to have never needed to call the Police. Unfortunately someone's gotta take out the trash. The real problem is we need police to be accountable, but that's easier than it so

burning dvd/cds was fun. Figuring out how to burn a dvd that could run on a dvd player was fun. Now it's all just done via chromecast. Convenient and less wasteful, I have to admit.

Well idk how one would go about banning Monero. You can ban it from exchanges that connect with the banking system but via decentralized exchanges it's still possible to convert.

I thought you could use something like uniswap which should avoid that I think? Haven't tried myself.

I think my crypto info is behind the times. Can someone explain to me why people don't just exchange crypto for monero and then back if they want to "wash" it?

Yeah my local mall is doing this. If they can pull together some tasty and healthy-ish options at the food court the mall could get a lot of traffic just from lazy people trying to get an easy dinner.

I know a lot would have to go wrong for it to matter. But having the ability to crank out huge amounts of corn, dairy and cheese if other food sources become scarce is a good ace in the hole to have if push comes to shove. Look at how the

by wollsmoth 4y ago
the US is very interested in keeping food cheap and corn subsidies are a big part of it. We also want to make sure we maintain the capacity to produce a LOT of calories very efficiently. This is helpful for national security as well, if i

The VR stuff is interesting. But it still boils down to being some type of video game, which I don't think is going to achieve the kind of adoption and sales to justify itself. We'll see I guess. FB and the ad sales are still gr

But why go on such a hiring spree this year??

by wollsmoth 4y ago
yeah, that's one of the things that would annoy me about him and part of peoples issues with him. Most of the time things are reasonable and cool on the podcast. Guys hanging out, shooting the shit, talking about their job/book&

yep. They are perfect. Then if they decide not to contact it isn't weird, it's very easy to say they lost it. Then we can all skip the weird ritual of adding each other to our phones so we can not call each other.

Yeah I live in a city and don't own a car. Mixed commercial/residential is fine usually. Noise from machinery and stuff should be watched though. You might not want an outdoor EDM club in your backyard. A flower warehouse seem

Zoning makes sense in some cases. I might not want someone to build factory on a residential street for example. But we need more units being built. I don't think it really matters if they're affordable or not, rental or for pu
