In addition to what others have said, it's also worth pointing out that the top 1% of income earners != the top 1% of wealth. The top end of the wealth spectrum are generally not earning much, if any, income subject to…
Even if the ethics on the advertiser's side could be solved, advertising as the core source of income for a business has it's own unenthical incentives imo. It ultimately boils down to more attention == more ads == more…
One thing to note, I have ADHD and have similar issues getting sleepy when understimulated no matter how much sleep I get at night. Getting up and moving around for stimulation helps.
I do personally wish the role of ad based monetization models were included in these conversations more often. With both traditional media and social media the conversation tends to blame ideology for their shortcomings…
It doesn't do positional tracking just rotational. Similar to the first Oculus developer kit.
Yep. They announced a few days ago that the first DK2s are moving from manufacturing to distribution: https://developer.oculusvr.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1...
Got to stop people from doing things that they themselves are doing... Anecdotally reminds of this guy that was key in setting up the British porn filter being arrested for child pornography:…
Ceding Crimea to Russia may just make things more difficult to be honest. There are many other parts of eastern Ukraine that are primarily ethnic Russians and I would think Russia, at least, would consider the ceding of…
All that link states is that Russia is denying they have given an ultimatum. Ukrainian leaders still claim they have. Its all he said she said at this point...
> Is it really an "overreach" if the NSA can acquire the mobile phone records of Yemen "indiscriminately" and use the data to build social graphs for current and future (currently unknown) targets of interest? Is it an…
I think its important to note their correction: "An earlier version of a headline accompanying this article on the home page was incorrect. The health law is projected to result in a voluntary reduction in the work…
"Google will retain the vast majority of Motorola’s patents, which we will continue to use to defend the entire Android ecosystem." Well that settles that question at least.
From the Lenovo perspective, this would be two very large acquisitions in a short span of time. Very interested to see what they do with this...
Just personal speculation, but I think that his remaining "on the run" has extended the discussion over the actual issues. Of course there has been a lot of focus put on 'Where Snowden will go' and 'What options does he…
Problem is without being convicted, he has already spent 3 months in jail... So not only does it seem an overblown charge, he is being punished for it while still being legally innocent (hasn't been proved guilty).
I just wanted to point out that, from the Ars Technica article above, "only one person can be playing the shared copy of a single game at any given time". That, to me, really sounds like its either you OR someone on…
I've always viewed it as similar to a regional copyright protection in that a region is allowed to advertise that only it produces the "real" product. Much like any shoe manufacturer can create a shoe exactly like Nike,…
To be honest, it may be a good thing that the internet didn't find the right person in this case, because I think the reaction would have been different and may have ended up reinforcing this behaviour in the future. As…
