I was expecting some egregious bullshit or a judgement call thing that takes too long when I saw the headline but this is...entirely correct.  I’m confused as to why anyone would be angry about that VAR call.

Sorry, I misspoke, it doesn’t explain why solar systems in the galaxies interact the way they do and the movement of individual planets.  That said, it sounds like we are somewhat on the same page, I’m not so sure any of those theories I linked to are better exactly, but I’m highly skeptical of the idea that some…

And those people, can fuck right off.  If he was spouting Orange Foolius’ talking points you’d call him a hero.

Hate and madness take the lives of far too many people the world over. If we were smart, as a species, we would focus more on helping those around us most in need of it. This is a tragedy, all you can do is grieve, process, reflect and then do your best to make the world a better, safer place.  I hope that this leads…

However, the researchers aren’t necessarily suggesting this is what needs to be done. What they want to make clear is that arresting elders to construct a telescope where it’s not wanted by some is not the right way to make it happen.

As an atheist I agree with moving past religion, but this is about so much more. The US invaded Hawaii on a very thin premise, subjugated its people and then tried to wipe out their culture. This is one of the last few spaces left that truly belong to the native peoples of Hawaii and they should absolutely have a say…

I mean, last year he was.  I think Vela is better this year.

But at the same time, Dark Matter doesn’t explain why galaxies spin the way they do, so there the math is wrong. There are several key ways in which Dark Matter does not successfully explain the movements within galaxies even while it does explain larger cosmological movements.  If the math is truly so universal and…

Unless, of course, our equation for gravity is off in some way, as the links I put up showcase that possibility.  My analogy is, somewhat off (there’s not a perfect one for cosmological issues) but the larger point remains, in order to make the universe fit our mathematical concepts we have decided that there’s a…

Because dark matter doesn’t exist.

You don’t need a headset for AR, I have it on my phone right now.  You just hold the phone up and now your girlfriend has dog ears or you can see the Pokémon or what have you.  AR is already here and widespread in its use, no headset required; that’s the sort of ease of use VR needs to become mainstream.  I get that…

I’ve used VR, it’s impressive but I don’t feel it’s as revolutionary as people say it is. Perhaps this is simply aa quirk in my personality, but I’ve spoken to others with similar views.

1. It’s still just...VR. All of that can be done without VR.

It’s good they killed that project, but their partnership with TenCent shows that they aren’t exactly clear of the tentacles of Chinese state power.  I’d be curious to know exactly how much data TenCent will be able to access as part of that deal,.

1. Yes, it’s $400...but that’s $400 on top of other costs, you either need to buy a console or a gaming PC (depending on the headset you bought). Without the console or PC the headset is useless. As for the idea that it’s used for lots more, I don’t think I buy that; most people use consoles as gaming platforms,…

VR still has the same flaws it has had for the past couple of decades and until those issues are fixed, it’s just not going to be mainstream.

This is the real fix.  The big problem is that so many fighters cut weight drastically to be bigger and stronger than their opponents by endangering their own health that not doing so means putting yourself at a competitive disadvantage.

Forgot to mention that because it’s incredibly obvious, sorry.

Oh no, the autism will kill us all! Wait, what’s that? Autism doesn’t kill anyone but these preventable disease do? So why are we scared of autism so much? Because it may make parenting a child harder? That seems...like a really dumb reason to be scared of autism when vaccines prevent your child from being dead.  Huh.
