Do you predict the same fate for AR?

>The iPhone X* phones were some of the best-selling phones of the last year and they all have AR. What does "have AR" mean?

This is completely contrary to anything officially published by Alcoholics Anonymous. Possibly "proponents" have their own opinions but AA itself specifically states in its that it does not have a monopoly on recovery from alcohol

>you will forever be an alcoholic I believe that this is the current medical understand of alcoholism as well.

Agreed. AA has a tradition of "attraction rather than promotion" but AA cannot control what those outside of AA do.

I'm an ex-smoker and I felt I was in the minority of smokers that would roll out the tobacco and put the butt in a trashcan or my pocket until I got to a trashcan. My older brother did the same thing, so I probably was influenced more

You think notifications are universally "a problem"? I find many notifications to be quite useful. Appointment reminders are VERY important to me and not at all a problem.

My belief is that the recent corporate censorship by large internet companies has created a growing interest in decentralization by some non-technical people. I don't think it is a slam dunk but I do think that currently there is a muc

Decentralization is not my area of expertise but I am growing very interested. I've recently been learning a lot more about building decentralized apps using blockchains and distributed file storage. Could you expand a little upon why

Nice, thanks! I'll check out ideacheck.

Thanks ibash, I'll send you a message. Although another commenter requested more details as well. Maybe you can post more here? :)

Thanks Davis. I received the suggestion today to actually try to get people to pay you up front for the product you are going to build. That was pretty interesting. Seems to scratch my itch for some real objective (in)validation and also pr

by wuliwong 8y ago
I was mainly thinking about the specific task of validating through ads and landing pages. Tracking interest/conersions that way. In order to do that you want to be able to test lots of ideas without re-writing lots of code. I know the

But face-to-face interactions are scaaaary !? :) I do a lot of talking to friends/family about ideas but I need to get out there and identify people that are actually in the target audience of the product.

I'm also an American who doesn't fully understand NHS, so this is wear I will have to leave you. :)

Nice, thanks. I just asked the previous commenter for book recs. I'll read at least one of these for sure. edit: I ordered "sex and rockets."

I could see that. I guess I was just thinking that Parson's gave him his first big break in the occult. I've never delved much deeper than internet reading. Do you have a book recommendations?

The story of Jack Parsons is one of my favorites. He really contributed scientifically, was certainly in part responsible for L. Ron Hubbards rise to fame and also a protege` of Aleister Crowley.

I've been using iPhones for some number of generations now but the autocorrect on iOS is terrible compared with Android from 5+ years ago.

i use siri to turn off and on hue lights (sometimes) and sometimes to set reminders. I do feel that since I dont have Siri on an "always on" speaker, it becomes less useful. I dislike the idea of having an "always on" sp

Maybe I was just totally missing his tone. I'll give it another read and use this voice. :) thanks.

I hear what you are saying with the audience, I was overselling my point. But I do work in tech and I still find this really un-relatable. I've never even come close to the place where receiving a raise or a promotion is unappreciated.

I think that's great insight. People are motivated differently. One person may be energized by learning the latest framework while another is more interested in fundamental design patterns. I think there is room for these different typ

I felt the same way. Maybe I am weird, I come from a physics background so not the standard CS training?
