Agreed. Unfortunately, when you take your social network public, investors demand growth. When user growth plateaus, it seems FB has chosen to be more aggressive in forcing you into their network ^.^

The mobile view is slightly more readable https://m.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=195070274849...

#6He makes the point about UE having default large packages. Not a huge problem for desktop VR apps for vive and rift, but is a limiting factor.
This is however a major problem for mobile, using both unity and UE and I know it is preventing more mobile VR and AR apps from being developed. Given that carmack is really focused on mobile I'd think oculus would want to create a light weight development/graphics engine.
I'm wondering why oculus hasn't made one especially since they have the skills and capability. Maybe I missed it and they have one.

You can use uBlock Origin to hide the pop-up frame. You won't be able to click through it, but it won't interfere with reading.

Building an engine takes years and a large(~30+) team if you want to match UE4/Unity in terms of productivity.

I don't understand why growth is measured as a percentage?
Obviously the growth rate for Facebook can NEVER be greater than the growth rate of the population of people born into households with internet. And that can be nowhere near 20% YOY even.
It's what is responsible for the stupid fallacy that PC is dying. It's not dying - it's has more longevity. A machine I built in 2008 is still going strong. Only had to upgrade the CPU once and switch out a RAM module. Many other people are the same.
Also consider this scenario:
1. You have a world of 1 bn people.
2. A company has 0.5 bn of them as customers.
3. The population increases to 1.08% (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth) = 1.0108 bn
4. The company grows to 1 bn people which is a 100% growth.
5. The population increases to 1.02171664 bn.
6. The investors say that growth has slipped from 100% to 0%.
That's stupid. The growth has stagnated because there IS NO ROOM to grow!!!
Am I missing something?
