VR hasn't even caught on to start getting old. It's still at its very early stages. We have yet to see the best of it.

I use my son as a sounding board on many things and it's been working pretty successfully for me. He was HIGHLY interested in VR, I got him an Oculus, and a bunch of other headsets before that, he went to play with Microsoft's at their stores, but today he has absolutely no interest - neither of his friends is into it either, none of the multitudes of sources he follows are interested either! You keep trying to abuse…

Headset itself may be a temporary gimmick as we will surely get better ways to connect our senses to virtual worlds, but VR isn't going away.

No, everybody liked video games; I know nobody who likes VR. I'm sorry to ruin your assumptions, but I'm am a pathological case of an early adopter and have been for over 30 years!

Based on my calculations, Facebook has more DC space/power than Google/Amazon/Microsoft. They have around 40 million sq ft of DC space, and likely ~5GW of power. They have 48 buildings in 18 locations, with 47 more under construction. AWS Data centers are fairly small, ~180,000 sq ft or so generally, us-east-2 is about 900,000 sq ft. us-east-1 perhaps 8 million sq ft. Google likely has more network capacity, but FB i…
