    I'm a big fan of Loreo stereo lenses. They're well made and inexpensive. You can use stereo pairs to calculate depth, and in this case, you only lose half your horizontal resolutio…

    I've been at a number of failed startups. Here are some of the things that hurt or eventually killed us. Note that these can apply to projects within large companies as well. YMMV.…

    It is not displaying on layers in the block. I have a 15" LookingGlass. The depth appears continuous, not in discrete layers. The field of view is, to me, very wide. I'm not trying…

    I meant that I've wondered how much goes from the investors to the VCs (but then not back to the investors) via property rentals. I used "laundering" in the sense of "covering up w…
