The resolution of current VR headsets suck. Resolution needs to be at a minimum of 5K per eye, and the frames per second have to be no less than 120fps. If they can't get a per-eye resolution of 5K, VR will be just a cool thing you can check out for 5 minutes.
Also, these are the minimal usable spec. Ideally, the resolution needs to be at 10K per eye and FPS/latency at 240 fps.
He actually cares about that? Personally I couldn't give a damn if the entire online community hates me. What power do they have? Remember the online campaign to find the boko haram girls? So far not one has been rescued. A few have escaped on their own, no thanks to facebook. And anyone remember the Joe Kony campaign of 2012? That dude is still out there in Africa doing his thing.. not brought to justice. The whole combine online community is less of a threat to anyone than my cat when he takes a dump.
It's an issue of money. I am involved in research. $20 billion directly spent on cancer would help a little lot. You would be surprised at how little of the money people think is being spent on cancer research is being spent on finding novel treatments.
Apple, you've got $200 bilion dollars. Put $20 billion of that into finding a cure for cancer or spinal injury or something fucking useful. You know how much money you can make off a cancer cure? About $1 trillion easily. Because you can charge $100,000 per treatment (even if it's one injection) and the insurance companies will gladly pay for it because they are paying way more than that for chemo and other stuff associated with people fucking dying from it. Millions of people get cancer every year.. a cancer cure would easily bring in $1 trillion pure profit per year. And after you cure cancer make a one shot instant cure for the cold or flu.
About #2, I think Rush Limbaugh suggested something along that line. I considered it too, but to me #2 seems unlikely unless he is really overdoing/overacting the part. I don't think Obama can pardon Hillary because you have to have charges in order to pardon someone.. though I suppose they could arrange for charges to be brought and then he can pardon her. I don't think Obama would do that, because then Trump will get angry and once in power he can take actions against Obama and even Hillary on other charges such as Clinton Foundation etc.
Trump is the best thing to happen to the socialist agenda. He is going to run up a massive deficit. How soon before the conservatives try to disparage him? It will be comedic gold. This is the guy they said is unafraid to speak the truth and can't be bought. Cause no matter what you believe if you say exactly what u think you're good.. right? I mean, nobody despicable in history ever said what they really think?
Quit being paranoid about radiation. It may cause a few mutations or even rarer a few extra isotopes in the food -- they are not a big deal. Mutations in the DNA of your food can't give you cancer, neither can a couple of stray isotopes in it. I mean in theory they can but you're more likely to get hit by lightening on Jupiter tomorrow. And what's the chance you would even be on Jupiter tomorrow? Not a big chance is there?
What if it cost nearly nothing to provide for everyone?
What if food can be produced from minerals and carbon sources synthetically for pennies per meal? The USA alone could feed the whole world with less than our entire EPA budget -- including transport cost (the factories can be setup locally to every region).
Our goal must be to produce synthetic food alternatives for pennies per meal. The only ingredients being minerals and carbon.. both of which are highly recyclable and found abundantly. We already have the chemistry to make this happen. We can synthesize all the amino acids and essential proteins. All we need is cheap energy. If the cost of Solar panels keeps falling at the current rate we will achieve that by 2020. But since Trump is going to ban solar power. We will have to wait a couple of decades until Fusion energy (MagLIF) becomes a thing.
You go up to them and ask for a pair of shoes. They go in the back and bring out a bunch of different shoe polish cans, shoeboxes, shoelaces. Then they ask you "Or did you mean shovels?".
FFFUCK. This thing is amazing! It's got a whopping sixteen 4 bit registers! Finally... I have been waiting a while for this. And I can't believe they've actually got the accumulator and push down stack one ONE chip... not to mention the 4 bit parallel adder. Can't wait to purchase,
Wow talk about someone who has zero empathy. "people's kids die all the time, suck it up" --- Seriously bro? Wtf is wrong with you?
As for cryopreservation being narcissistic, then being alive is also narcissistic. Why does anybody insist on continuing to live? Shit, maybe the world is better off without them. We have lost valuing our fellow human. Basically this today's society looks at another human being, by default, as some sort of predator and competition. Why do you think we elected a nearly open racist xenophobe as president? People are claiming this gal cryopreserving herself is a waste, and for her to suck it up and die. To cover up our hate, we are even going as far as to claim cryopreservation isn't gonna work, when frankly nobody has a clue. Granted it seems highly unlikely to be revived without serious brain tissue damage.. but then who knows if there will be workaround and cyber-augmentation etc. I mean really, who knows? But let's admit the real reason we don't want this kid cryo-preserving herself. It's because we have no empathy, and we think she isn't going to contribute anything useful anyway.
How? Not with our present minimum wage. The amount of risk capital needed is too high. The price of things will go up, less things will get sold. Robots will do most of the manufacturing. That's a better economy?
Talk about a dumb move. Harman is an overbloated company that basically only knows about audio. I seriously question Samsung's judgment. Samsung needs to get on the driverless car or sensor chip bandwagon,. They should be buying sensor companies such as Triquint (which makes automotive radar chips) or companies like Mobileye, Invensense, or Omnivision.
I mean, the number of violent crimes per year has been declining a lot. Yet the Trump narrative is that "crime rates are soaring because of illegals".
How will Trump manage to win with that lie? It's easy when he cherry pick crimes to highlight. I mean, he gives multiple specific examples of crimes committed by illegals.. making it look like the crime contribution is much higher than it is.
When the fact is pointed out that the criminal rate among illegals is less than the general population they pivot to saying "these are extra crimes that wouldn't have happened". Which is a false statement because illegals are also the victims of violent crime by legal citizens who may have carried out the same crime on someone else. Meaning statistically, due to the fact that illegals also absorb crime the overall effect on crime may actually be positive.
That's right, illegal immigration may actually be reducing crimes against citizens.
And then there is the humanitarian argument that from God's perspective a violent criminal in the US is more likely to be caught. So the overall net effect is that less humans are victims of crime.. which from the perspective of being human is a plus.
I am not arguing in favor of open borders, just illustrating that narratives can go both ways depending on which facts you want to place emphasis on.
The Cosgreve rocket -- which is the rocket referred to in the Star Spangled banner was based on the Mysorean rocket. Innovative features included metal casing. Where did the Mysorean rocket design come from? India.
Yes that's true. BUT.. sometimes touch ID may not work properly and you may end up holding it going "WTF, work dammit!". i just tried it (without Touch ID obviously) and it shuts off in 5 seconds.. the screen blanks in under 2 seconds -- but with touch ID you auto login so the screen blank may not even be noticeable. I am sure the new Mac Pros wont work like that.. but I guess we'll have to see.
That's not true of current Macs. I just tried it on couple of Mac Pros. They just shut off. The only "warning" is the within 2 seconds the screen blanks and then you have to log back in -- but if it's Touch ID enabled it may log you back in instantly. If you keep holding it, it will shut off.
Who is the genius at Apple that thought of making the Power Button and Touch ID the same? It's comedic. Give that guy his own show on Comedy Central. How many people will inadvertently shut off their Mac?
They will need a software fix. But can they make it work properly when stuff is frozen?

What about pre-pre-diabetes? or pre-pre-pre-diabetes? Being born can get you that one.
What the hell Joker you don't have access to Google at Arkhan Asylum?
OK I do not expect you to be as smart and informed as me to just know these things, but honestly you should at least be able to Google it.
A LOT, possibly even most countries have granted citizenship to illegal immigrants to their countries on some scale.
For example most recently Turkey and India have done so. Many European countries have done it in the past and recently.
Facts can be used to lie. You can state things that are true and still make someone arrive at an incorrect conclusion or solution.
