On my Meta Quest I am positively begging for decent content worth viewing in 3d. Here we have a bookful of 3d astronomy. Can I not get something like this in VR? Why is VR languish…

Yes, but if a chicken and a half laid an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds off a dill pickle?

Quote: “ Inspired by the concept of ‘a piece of cloth.’” Is this some kind of joke? If it were April 1st I’d assume the whole article is meant for comedic effect.

Absolutely. In the 2000s the Unreal Engine had a price tag of half a million dollars up-front plus royalties (I don't remember the percentage) on the back end. That these companies…

This is an unusually political post to have risen so high on Hacker News. Is that because of the significance of email to the story? The use of email in this case is not very techn…

I don't mean the TV itself. I mean TV programming.

"We will significantly reduce preloaded applications." As a primary Mac and Linux user, it is absolutely incredible to me that any PC that isn't given to customers for free would h…

Yeah, I'm not buying it. I have two complains about this article in particular and this kind of "science" in general. 1. Their conclusion is unverifiable. Science is about hypothes…

Help me. I want to care about this. But what does this model have that will make a substantial, observable improvement over my—say—iPad 3?

I find this frankly implausible. What percentage of people you know have been arrested? I'm guessing very small (even assuming that many hide it and so you're knowledge is substant…

This is, among other things, a terribly confusing situation. Who's to blame? The person who asks to have results expunged? The law that requires Google to comply? Google for comply…

How can this not be some kind of internal sniping?

Shoulda stopped at number 5: "and khseeke" seemed pretty clear to me. But point taken.

"You can't be the world's best and fail at the same time." Oh yes you can. You can be the best at providing something people don't want. You can even be the best at providing somet…

No. No no no. Sue them. Sue them dead. Where product and brand robbery thrives, developers wither. What's the point in working hard in developing a game (or anything) if all your h…

Here's an example of where the philosophy helps. You would probably agree that physics is a clear science and that its methods—philosophically reasoned about—produce (or discover) …

So, not a flying tramp? Not an evaporating derrière?

It seemed to me to say that the Future of Kinect is not particularly as an essential aspect a major gaming platform. "Museums, hotels, and corporate offices" seemed to figure large…

Is threesome kind of secret code embedded in the typos?

Why do news stories like this never link to the actual text of the bill? Isn't it a little worrying when the participants in a democracy consider their governance "over their head"…

Interesting how the word "weird" has virtually become a codeword for ridiculous bottom-feeding online advertising. I initially overlooked this post simply because my brain docketed…
