  1. Nobody cares that you fuck donkeys. Get over it.

  2. Re:3d audio is old hat on 3D Headphone Startup 'Ossic' Closes Abruptly, Leaving Crowdfunders Hanging (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    There is no equivalent transform _necessary_ for audio. Close enough is close enough.

    Even if you're in the middle of snapping your head around during those few milliseconds (call it 11, 1/90th second, one Oculus display frame), I don't think you could turn you physical head more than 5 degrees in a 90th of second (I doubt you can turn your head that fast, not comfortably. Likely throw the headset across the room).

    5 degree direction change isn't going to change the sounds noticeably. If you're being virtually spun faster than that, there is non-virtual puke in your future.

    Audio being a little off, isn't going to make you sick.

    The shorter the latency, the smaller the buffer, the more CPU love you gotta give it. But good news...modern processors. You can use a whole core just for final mix and buffer pump.

    Real time audio chat in VR is tricky. There are lot's of latencies. Chasing the last millisecond in the audiopipe is pointless. But again, good news, people's brains are trained to not notice by all the crappy VoIP in the world.

    Most other sound is just obfuscated playpatch at location. Environmentals are another latency 'don't care much' case. Who cares if an echo or wind noise is off by 100 milliseconds? Those can all run with big old buffers, just so they start fast.

    Less than a week. That's what happens when they don't want any attention.

    Vice can be entertaining. (search for the 'Columbian donkey fuckers')

    The mistake Ratzo makes, is believing what he wants to be true, same as always.

    Chewing ears sometimes works a LOT like chewing labia. YMMV

    Damn, your stupid.

  7. 70 year olds drive relatively few miles. Your stats aren't using the right denominator.

    Which isn't to say that kids aren't bad drivers, but so are oldsters.

    The Zuck would wish he was blind, if actual /.ers sent him nudes.

    They paid off the crackheads family, real fast. Doesn't look good for them.

  10. The amount others waste trying to build SDCs isn't really relevant to the ultimate demise of Uber.

    They don't survive, but first there is chump's money to collect.

    I don't claim to be able to identify whole body nudes. Just labia, those are like fingerprints.

    You think /. can move a stock price? Seriously?

    I'd rather be a curmudgeon than a fanboy. Curmudgeons have a good track record for being right, much much better than fanbois.

    At what speed are high beams required?

    Do you even drive?

  16. Journalists are 99% professional attention whores. If it bleeds, it leads.

  17. Non-drivers are generally just clueless. The single most important factor in safe driving is _focus_.

    The worst drivers aren't the aggressive ones, it's the (asleep/on phone/doing anything except driving) ones.

    Even in the first 1000 hours or driving (when young, stupid and least safe) not paying attention is more common than driving too fast.

  19. Even the Tesla roadster (1) is a pig in corners. You're just wrong.

  20. Paint yield signs on all sides of your car.

  21. Yes: You're wrong on that.

    They don't give us near enough information to make that determination. Which tells me they _aren't_ safer, or Tesla would release the data, rather than releasing statistical lies, repeatedly.

    Google really _should_ make Yelp go away. It would be a service to the world.

    Absent that, site rating companies should mark them 'deceitful'.

  25. That sensor has been in the last 3 flagship Sony phones.

    Sony has a LONG history of keeping the lowest defect sensors for their own use and selling the noisy ones.

    _Everybody_ wants the fastest sensors, not so much for frame rate, but for low light.
