Why are empty circles even necessary for the read status of a message? If the colors and names are known at the top, then you only need to show which ones have read the message as filled circles and those who haven't will be known as t

I don't understand the insistence that robots in the future not be specialized. Quite the contrary, I think they'll be highly specialized, and the ant metaphor agrees.

> Is it me, or is the benefit of that extremely small? I can move my finger and tap the 'Instagram' icon quicker than I can say "Instagram". Never mind that the app itself is highly visual, so there's no point la

I like that UIs are being given depth, but they should respond as physically expected to, too. Why can't buttons move into the screen when pushed instead of changing color and rippling?

This is pretty cool as far as tech goes, but also seems rather ridiculous practically. Productivity with a HMD will likely amount to a lot more than the same 2D dynamic images we already have(screens) being placed arbitrarily in 3D space. W

The obvious answer is specialization. Computer science needs to be split, at the very least, into theoretical CS and Software Engineering. From there, both CS and Software engineering will need to contain specializations as well. Software E

In the grand scheme of things, our lives are just frames of recognizability to one another, and we live on as the information that transformed via us forever. The cycle of innovation, and thereby of technical debt in software, seems to just

The Path->bucket analogy is pretty interesting. Where else are more comfortable buckets being built instead of plumbing?

This makes so much sense. The screen isn't big enough to be interacted with directly, but interacting with the media on the screen using the body of the device is brilliant.

This looks like a funded, experienced, hardware team with an already finished product. Are they only using Kickstarter for exposure? If they're looking for validation/upfront manufacturing costs they should be doing pre-orders ins

I look at what it does, do a quick architecture in my head, then compare it to what I see. This helps me because before I even look at it I have an understanding of how I think it should work rather than an absolutely clean slate.

Great that you're incentivizing the growth of this student hacker culture. It's super productive for these students and can really change lives.
