All of this assumes that renewable energy can power our electrical grid. But it can't directly. You can't take wind power and solar power, which only work at random times or half the time, and power an electric grid normally. You have to have some way of storing that power, and whatever...

Yes, this poor unfortunate guy started a company and sold it to Facebook, his share was $700 million. This happened when he was 21 years old.

The solution to expensive housing in desirable cities like Seattle is simple. Build lots of tiny apartments. If a 700 square foot apartment is renting for $2000, you can rent out 150 square foot apartments quite cheaply.

Everything related to cryptocurrency is terrible.

The slickdeals website says the deal is expired. Does the 10% off deal still work?

VR is the future of gaming, and of movies, and many other things. There's an intensity to VR that you can't get any other way. You don't watch a movie, you're in the movie. You don't watch a game screen from across the room, you're in the game. Everyone is going to want this, it's just going...

I don't think people want the stuff they're not directly focused on to be blurry. I thought the point was to save processing power by only having a small portion of the display be in hi res.

As I business owner, I think this is bullshit. Businesses already are getting fucked on internet usage. We pay more than the average home user, while using far far less data. While the average home is watching youtube videos all day long and downloading multi gigabyte games and movies, most...
