Canadian here, that’s just not true, you only have to wait if you want to see a specific specialist and they are fully booked, then you have to decide if you would rather wait or s…

A simple guide for life: (1) Gather information (e.g. read the screen) (2) Think about it (3) Act accordingly

Something most people don't know about HoloLens: the holograms stay where you put them indefinitely. So if you put a browser window on a wall in your bedroom and come back after a …

Yes, the holograms are literally objects made of light so at low brightness they are transparent, but if you crank up they will appear solid but you still won't confuse it for a re…

lol that was the idea, glad you enjoyed it!

Yes it does work outside if the space has enough objects around so it can generate a model of the location. When model generation fails, it falls back to a "limited mode" where hol…

Here is a video I recorded with HoloLens, but not through it, the actual holograms are transparent on the headset: https://goo.gl/photos/S2B9A8xkvyLkPK7U8

HoloLens user here, based on this video alone, the experience appears to be equivalent, although holograms appear to be a bit more stable on HoloLens, which also has no trouble tra…

The problem isn't when you get banned, it is the fact that Google refuses to clearly communicate the reasons when there is real money at stake. Google: "you delivered 30k worth of …

Here is what is currently known about Glass: - Transparent microdisplay, front-facing camera, touch-sensitive controls, audio I/O, internals "equivalent to a Galaxy Nexus", IMU, Wi…

I am a SU alumnus and I can assure everyone this is not representative of Singularity University in any way.

C# is so powerful, expressive and I am glad to see that Mono is becoming more popular and helping to separate C# from the Microsoft stack.

IQFeed is fast and prices are reasonable

Apple page on ergonomics? How ironic considering that most of their input devices are more like torture devices. Beautiful for sure but suitable for human use.

You are correct, their QC is more of a hardware solver for a very specific problem than a general purpose computer. On scaling, I was a D-Wave a few weeks ago, they seem to be prep…

That is not how it works Viscanti, gate-based QCs are still toys and it remains to be proved if they will become useful anytime soon. On the other hand D-Wave's adiabatic chip is v…

To clarify: you express your problem as an Ising model, load the model into the D-Wave One QC and it will solve it for you. The interesting thing is that solving Ising models is a …
