It looks like the purpose was data enrichment, so maybe it was pieced together over time from multiple sources. My linkedin from PDL only had 1 bit of wrong info. I wasn't able to find anything on my personal email addresses which is good.

Maybe they should aim for a different market segment then. Common Projects, a plain but very well made luxury sneaker seems to be doing well. I'd imagine fighting for scraps against Amazon/Walmart isn't going to go well.

I have a Vive, just been cagey about updating. The Quest looks like the kind of casual experience that I wanted after having a Vive since launch.

Wonder if I can do Oculus Quest + PC Link + Index controllers. Don't really want to buy an Index, but the controllers look really nice. Also considering Quest since my biggest gripe before was the wired headset and how heavy it was overall.

I refuse to believe anyone wouldn't take 1.7 billion to walk away from a company.

The guy was brought to tears for wearing a shirt his female friend made. Just because a company doesn't fire someone (and rightfully so) doesn't mean there aren't pitchfork waving mobs screaming for the head of some comedian/artist/random guy.

A great example of satirizing the movement would be 30 Rock's "Idiots are people two!"

Edit: also that you dismissed it, even though googling my comment verbatim would've given you a source, shows that you're starting at your conclusion then working backwards. Trolling isn't appreciated

"Embrace, extend, extinguish"

*nix is too big to really extinguish, but MS can certainly bear hug some cash out of them.

But if you're purely remote you're banking that extra money

Remember the NASA scientist who got so much shit for wearing a shirt?

Exactly. The point is it's not sexist.

The presumption was that it's sexist to assume you can't talk code with young women. I don't want to talk code with anyone 99% of my off time. But to say the reasoning is sexist is untrue.

> most young women

I dare you to go to an average bar or club and try to talk about code with most young women. It's not happening. Most people don't code, and most coders are male.

Sell them to shady executives.

> but almost everyone that's sat down to play it so far has talked about how it feels nearly indistinguishable from a console latency-wise.

Nearly every review I've seen mentions that there's just enough latency for it to not feel good, with some visual stuttering occasionally.

My local library not only has a huge game selection, they will ship games from within the library network to a library closest to me. It's basically Blockbuster for games, but free. New games too, it's how I've played any PS or Switch exclusives for the past few years.
