Perhaps I misunderstood you. I thought you were advocating against secret balloting, so that one could trace the vote of each person to that person. That could lead to your neighbors threatening you for voting for the wrong lizard when they go look up your vote. Were you saying something else?
I am going to echo you, and add one other point: Valve claims their product lets you move in a 15' x 15' area. Whatever hand tracking system they use needs to work with you where you go in that area, and presumably also if you turn around. If NimbleVR (Oculus's acquisition) or another hand tracking solution can't do that, it wouldn't have been helpful to Valve anyway.
My wife asked me, and my answer was "black and.... blue, I guess?" I thought it was a trick question what shade of blue one would call it. Since hearing the point of the question, I can reliably identify the "black" as "muddy bronze," but the only way to trick my brain into thinking the dress is white (still with a blue cast) and gold is to take my wife's monitor and look at it from a 45 deg angle from the top. My monitor still looks blue from any angle.
I disagree profoundly with you (and slightly with GP). You will find that there are indeed rules in life, and failure to conform to them begets consequences.
I do agree that she should live her life and make her mistakes, but where I differ is this: if she can make fewer mistakes, she'll be the better for it.
In my estimation, the worst sin in life is believing you have a monopoly on the truth.
Compare that with Net Neutrality. I completely support Net Neutrality, as does almost every other Republican I know that is younger and/or understands the internet. The only ones really against it are the old guys who don't even understand it but simply say "Regulation is bad, mmmkay."
Contrasting anecdote: The younger Republicans that I know IRL and who have opinions on NN do not fit your description. They're posting "Government Control of the Internet!" articles on their social media.
I happen to think they're wrong, but that's what they're saying.
I think you missed the point GGP made: that there is (at least) a third class who are "Those trying to do something that (might) make the internet a better place and doing so for their own greedy benefit."
Given such, it can be hard to see who is others-centered and who is self-centered. Though some groups (as you point out) are obviously the latter, some may appear to be the former but are in fact just as self-centered.
I also came here to say this. It sounds (and IANA materials scientist nor an antique arms enthusiast) like they are achieving a similar effect albeit with a much higher precision.
The term "telecommunications" means the transmission, between or among points specified by the user, of information of the user's choosing, without change in the form or content of the information as sent and received. (47 USC 153)
And the telcos reply with "But we do change the form, content and/or 'points specified by the user' of the information. How else could we inject tracking http headers and ads, and clone the information to Room 641a?"
One of my high school teachers served on a (small?) ship where some parts were made of magnesium. The strategy for fighting mag fires on a ship were expressed thusly: (1) If it's not part of the superstructure, throw it overboard. (2) If it's part of the superstructure, cut it off and throw it overboard.
I saw the typo in Karmashock's post and your quote of the exact same sentence, and hoped you were going to make a joke about a belly button blunderbuss.
Taking a name from the computer industry which has a term for moving several data at once, we can analogize data to people and call your concept a "bus."

While I expect there is some vote tampering, I assert that not being intimidated by one's neighbors for voting differently is worth it.

If they say the dev kit is available this spring and the consumer version for the holidays, they are beating Oculus to a stand-alone consumer unit.

Somehow I had never heard of this. It looks like it isn't available for grandfathered plans. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Made me smile. =)
Macedonia already had a cultural victory, but Alexander kept clicking "just a few more turns."

Now siri will randomly call my sister if I don't set the phone down correctly.
His sister's name is "nippl-e."

It never belongs

Clearly they are not a telecommunication service.
Agreed. I came here in hopes that it was the next step in the development of that article. Namely, that they could pump water back in and keep going.
Any fool can let go of a water balloon. The neat thing would be refilling and releasing it in a self-contained system.
