Underperforming? Underperforming compared to what? You’re still coming at this with a bias. Both “under” and “low” are relative terms. If the Rift only sells 200,000 units, that’s not underperforming, and if that’s their goal, it’s not low. In order for these terms to mean anything, they have to be considered relative…

The VR systems in the 90s cost like, $20,000, and they were complete shit compared to what we have today.

Nobody expects VR to become mainstream for another several years. This first launch isn’t meant for the general market, it’s aimed at early adopters. To give you an idea, Mark Zuckerberg only expects Oculus to sell a few hundred thousands Rifts for this first generation.

Does it really though? Isn’t it also possible that most games just aren’t bad enough to deserve less than whatever the common range is? Or perhaps those games just aren’t reviewed? Because there clearly are games that get scores poorer than 50, it’s just not common. But they do exist, so obviously those numbers still…

Not in those exact words, but you were alluding to it when you said “that is where it all falls apart.”

100% means best movie/game someone’s ever experienced. 0% means worst. Any value in between means something between best and worst. Sure, it’s a rough scale, but it’s still a scale the provides more information “Yes” or “No”. 100% would be a “Yes”. So would an “80%”. But if you just use the word “Yes” you can’t…

That’s not true at all. If someone rated a game 83/100, I would absolutely understand what they meant, and it makes perfect sense. Sure, maybe a 10-point system would be better, but still. 83/100 might seem abritrary to you, but consider if you heard someone say they rated a game 100/100. That obviously means it was…

So you’re saying there’s no value to averaged review scores? I disagree. The same attitude we use regarding a single person’s review score is just as applicable to aggregated review scores. We just have to be clear with our selves regarding what the aggregated review score actually means, just as we do with a single…

How is a Yes/No system any better than a number? A numerical rating system just gives more information to the reader. Both systems are equally subjective, so that’s not really a factor.

And what’s the deal with cancer?!

Don’t people just upload their own music though?

Pretty sure he didn’t actually say he thinks “apps suck.” He just said that they aren’t the pinnacle of what will accomplish. Sooo yeah...

I think people use these terms because on a technical level, what Google’s algorithms are doing is probably very similiar to what happens in human brain, but just in a very isolated context. Of course, the algorithms don’t actually experience these processes because they are not embeded in a more complex system (i.e.,…

No, I haven’t really had any issues at all. People are just fucking entitled little bitches (sorry I guess I’m a little agitated right now.) But seriously, people demand perfection in literally every aspect in life yet they don’t have the slightest clue as to how much effort it took us get to this point, and how much…

Seriously? They are like the most successful company in the world right now. Sure, they aren’t perfect, but do you honestly believe that they could operate at the level and scale they are operating at right now and just be a complete disorganized clusterfuck like you think they are? Newsflash dude, software…

First of all, I really don’t see the issue of driving a jeap in a NASCAR track. But I don’t really get NASCAR anyway.

Perhaps you have to enable robust mode? Not sure what the issue is. Light definitely messes with the sensor. My computer is in a room with several large windows, so I can’t really use mine until the end of the day. But by the time the sun starts going down it works pretty flawlessly.

Irony? Oh, you mean that fact that I chose to use the word “dummy” to describe someone whose behavior indicates a lack of intelligence? I think the word you are looking for is “accuracy”. ;)

My comment made me sound like a 5 year old, though a perceptive one at that. Yours simply displayed your ineptitude for critical…

Yeah, you should probably think a little more before you post comments like this... Makes you sound kind of like a dummy. :(

Actually, no, he’s 100% correct. I just bought a Leap Motion. It works quite well in VR, though only for a limited set of games. But the technology is pretty good. Not perfect, but definitely usable.
