Somebody needs to buy the rest of the G/O sites from Great Hill partners before they are run into the ground. I'd hate to see Jalopnik go the way of Deadspin.

Yeah, but his kit is similar to every other kit out there. Oculus didn't reinvent the wheel. They used existing tech and integrated it into a product. That is a stellar feat on its own I suppose, but not like reinventing the wheel.
Magic Leap's product may be complete shit, but what they are trying to do is a lot harder.

First, Palmer Luckey is a douche.
Second, Magic Leap's tech is much different than existing AR/VR fare. They are having to build their entire graphics stack from scratch. No existing libraries will handle light field calculations. Hardware requirements are probably insane. They probably have bitten off more than they can chew and their first product reflects that.
Oh, and Palmer Luckey is a douche.

Comment Check to see if they are using a proxy cache (Score 1) 203
My ISPs dirty little secret is that it routes all http(s) traffic through a proxy cache server, so most popular websites run load great but everything else is often slow.
Comment They should have franchised. (Score 1) 66
That was my suggestion early on. Bigger impact and less risk. Overseas techshops are staying open because they are, in essence, franchises.

1) Pay a good salary.
2) Seriously consider remote workers.
3) Hire more than one person.
4) Consider people who are outside the "security" realm. A lot of sysadmins have to do security by default and know just as much about it as a person with the cert.

Different languages have different strengths and weaknesses.
If you want to get into the nitty-gritty, then C is awesome.
If you want to write code that leaks memory like a sieve then Java is the way to go.
If curly braces somehow offend you, and you do not understand or care about what a global interpreter lock is, go for Python.
If you want to wear your braces keys down to nubs, tcl is the language for you.
FWIW, the language that excites me the most is Swift. YMMV.
