More info https://uploadvr.com/oculus-rift-s-official/ , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vtryRHVg_I . Lower refresh rate, LCD screen, no foveated rendering seem disappointing.

I like Tock because it encourages efficiency through dynamic pricing. A 5 PM Tuesday dinner should not cost as much as an 8 PM Saturday dinner.

Have you also read the criticisms of Pikkety's book? I would find it hard to recommend this book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_in_the_Twenty-First_Ce...

The inequality in the US is growing but not as fast as you might think from listening to the media: [1]. The real median household income has grown faster since 2010: [2] (the mean household size went from 2.59 to 2.53 during this time [3])

The edits to most popular pages will be most scrutinized. Obama's and Trump's talk pages have the most revisions out of all Wikipedia articles [1] and are second and third most viewed [2], so they are the hardest articles to edit

That's not a representative example - those are extremely high profile pages (maybe the highest). Wiki pages for less-known polarizing figures are far below that standard.

I think it would make the most sense for creators to have accounts on both Patreon and Facebook.

Visual Assist X should also get a mention. A lot of useful productivity features.

The land prices in Manhattan have cooled down somewhat in the last couple of years. They are now at the 2015 level ( https://therealdeal.com/issues_articles/new-york-city-land-p... ), so actually down a bit if counting i

If your tastes require solid character development then sure. But other people might enjoy a book more for its plot or ideas. There are books (especially in science fiction), movies, and TV shows that are widely recognized as very good with

It is actually possible for an additional road to increase the travel time for each driver, without any new cars added, and with everybody acting rationally! Braess's paradox ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess%2

I think that indoor skydiving is closer to the Zero-G flight than the Zero-G flight is to the Virgin Galactic's space trip on a rocket launching from a plane, getting to Mach 2.9, getting an out-of-this-world view, and gliding to the l

Well yeah, I didn't say that it was exactly like it. It does give you the ability to float and even do tricks in the (moving) air and experience Newton's laws almost like in Zero-G, though.
706.
by zone411 8y ago
Why do you think 80% of the value is in the Zero-G time? You could similarly argue that 80% of the Zero-G experience can be had by indoors skydiving at 2% of that flight's cost.

Sending objects vs humans is a completely different ballgame, so this comparison doesn't look valid. And Karman's line is not very well defined - see https://www.livescience.com/63166-outer-space-border-karman-...

Check out my company's travel forum for text content http://www.city-data.com/forum/ but if I'm to be honest, the most travel content is on TripAdvisor forums. Reddit doesn't compare here, it's basi

It seems to me that only a fraction of the signees have biological backgrounds. I don't see a single geneticist if you don't count two signees that are in the fields of "Genetics and Society." This letter talks about &qu

They are included only on track-oriented models of sports cars. I don't know of more aggressive track tires included on any cars. Michelin itself calls them "track tires" and rates them 4/10 for comfort (and since Teslas

Not only did they upgrade the original tires to track-oriented, barely street legal tires but also they upgraded to track-oriented brakes. Both of these have very large effects on track times. Adjusting handling characteristics to the prefe

Compared to hundreds of studies about green tea extracts, many of them reported by the media, those population-wide studies had minimal effects on the public. And even those studies would usually find the largest effects on people who drink

There is a chance that Hydroxycut was actually something good overall. There were 23 reported cases of serious health problems and apparently one death. Maybe we can triple that, as not every case will be reported. But this has to be compar

There is no official "recommended" dosage and often the "maximum" dosage is just a guess too. Not the same as not being able to determine the dosage in each capsule or pill.

They should be mainly regulated to ensure purity standards, prevent mislabeling, and to allow quick action when a health danger is discovered (and not a just a 1-in-1,000,000 case). The supplement industry should be forced to provide indepe

Umm because the studies that showed positive effects were not from drinking green tea but from concentrated supplements.
