I'm surprised by the author using Motorola as a historical example of acquiring that went wrong. I thought the goal of acquiring them was for the patents and the sell off was the bits Google didn't want or need.

Thank you! This helped hugely

This great! Any plans to bringing this to Android/PC?

It looks like it hasn't been announced yet:

[ While Facebook and Oculus VR aren't quite ready to reveal a price of the Rift, Luckey suggested that it'll cost more than the $350 developer's kit.

"You know, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you," Luckey said in an interview back in September. "We're roughly in that ballpark... but it's going to cost more than that. And the reason for that is that we've added a lot of technology to this thing beyond what existed in the DK1 and DK2 days."

While $350 may be too low, $1,000 seems to be too high. Elaborating on the Rift's pricing on Twitter recently, Luckey stated that Oculus VR has the backing of Facebook and doesn't need an immediate hardware profit.

"A company that has to survive on immediate hardware profit would have to hit with a much higher price - think $1000+. Not greed, reality," he tweeted. "1st gen VR users are being heavily subsidized by major players who want VR business to grow, though few seem to understand that." ]

Very cool. Like what devhxinc said this is hugely useful. I was not looking forward to trying to decipher let's encrypt at home. I'm impressed how quickly this was put together.

ah - so it's possible that the reasoning behind this is the low weight mixed with its huge strength/durability gains?

Interesting, confused as to why weather wear is where it ended up? It doesn't seem to talk much about insulation or any of the keep warm themes just general strength.

My grandfather was an engineer on this project - it was done as a hedge against it coming out.

While the system is definitely a better solution, you also have to look at it from a database performance level. I would prefer the above, and to be honest my knowledge of databases is not strong enough to say that the below makes it impossible or difficult to implement but something that needs to be taken into account.

Spotify currently has a database that tracks the number 'Plays' each artist gets. They then roll that up into a combined number that gives them their royalty payout for the year. Have lets say 100,000 artists, that is 100,000 records accessed when they run their end of year report. On the user level (lets say you have a million users) you now need to keep track of the number of clicks per artist per user. Most likely through having each user have its own click counter table that has a record for each artist they listened to (probably through a foreign key) and then the number of clicks for that artist. When the end of the year report rolls around instead of simply looking at 100,000 records. You are now accessing 1 million records times the average number of artists a user listens too and then running calculations to figure out how much each artist gets by the user. I'm sure there is better database design then the above mentioned but you still run into a more power intensive process to calculate it.

Not something I think will completely stop companies like spotify from switching to this model but something worth considering...

That fact really made me laugh when I looked into it. Thank you for the cycloped fact.

Do you have a link to your github repo where I grab a copy of it? I have been thinking about trying to find ways to simulate daylight in my house.

I mean I understand the point being made. Consumer behavior has changed to the point where the consumer believes that content should be free including editorial content. However to assume that installing Adblock will solve this is naivety as its best. Both sides will continue to one up one another, currently sites are now checking for Adblock and forcing the user to disable said plugin to view the content. Adblock has found a way to block some of these detection scripts. Similar to the demise of the cookie when people were claiming an end to user tracking, instead tracking has become far more powerful since then. I agree the current model is broken and needs a huge change but that change won't occur with Adblock and the outcome of the change is unforeseeable for me.

The market will adapt to consumer behavior, which could mean that news no longer is considered a viable business model and becomes something that is community aggregated. It could also spin in the other direction like the author in the article states. I don't know why there is the assumption that once the current model is destroyed that people will just turn around and revert back to the old model.

I Agree.

What I find interesting is the grey secondary navigation bar. It almost seems placed as an afterthought of the design. It doesn't gel well with the rest of the design.

This is really amazing JS Library. I like how on click the new element grows from the button clicked. It really shows a great UI Interface.

I hope to see it expanded out to more browsers and then I can really see this implemented into my future designs.

I am really curious how this effects performance at the end of the day. It can't be that lightweight if the css is constantly transversing and overwriting itself. Plus as mentioned in other comments, it being cryptic and hard to read makes it difficult to breakdown what its doing without some extensive commenting in place.

It looks great. I noticed some issues mousing out of the get started button. It seems to be in conflict with expanding and shrinking at the same time. I am using Windows 7 with the latest Chrome browser it that helps.

I think that in terms of what I was expecting out of Pebbles second iteration, this was not it. I like how they did away with the mobile thinking of apps because that was simply trying to conform a watch to a mobile phones way of thinking. Even sticking to e-paper for long battery life was a good design decision but beyond that there really isn't much in innovation. The design doesn't really wow or anything same with the UI. I know some comments really liked the UI and I guess with developers updating their apps and looks to match the new watch that may improve things as well.
