If you can't tell they're blueblocking, of course the impact is going to be negligible. You want ones where if you shine a bright, pure blue LED at it, all you see is a slight mist of green—safety goggles. It is a good point about the relative brightness between the sun and the screens we see, as the way our brain tracks light for adjusting our sleep is basically a photon counter: the relative light (i.e. the screen is much brighter than the surrounding environment) doesn't matter, the absolute amount does. With that said, I wonder how much pupil dilation effects how much light actually makes its way in in either scenario (screen at night vs. being outside during the day) I wouldn't wear them unless you have actual sleep problems, or are trying to pre-transition your sleep cycle to match the destination of a trip, though.

I'm not sure the pallette would line up properly with that. With chromakey, even if it's off it'll be aligned to the same incorrect value (poor accuracy, good precision) Another consideration is that you'd have to have baked background footage with the correct focus, etc. and it could not be changed

I could have been less hyperbolic in my language. I'm not talking about the wealthy, just very well-to-do by typical standards e.g. 3x+ median annual income for their country. But there's a matter of 'could' vs 'would' here. There'll be some people in the initial demographic who aren't 'rich' relative to the median... but there's a reason why the focus is so strongly on the specifications and general user interface. There are no productivity apps available that will make this useful to typical consumers. VR's biggest demographic is gamers, and so far all I've seen advertised for that is being able to play iPad games on a virtual TV pane that floats in the air. For typical consumer end-users, the product is nowhere near justifying the price yet. People are saying "that's neat but expensive" not "it's expensive, but damn do I want one for [X, Y and Z features]!"

What, specifically, is this responding to? Did you lose track of what we were talking about?

That depends on if you need a massive LED video wall that's placed far behind the subjects (as in their examples) or if you could use an 85" LED TV with some sort of tricks to keep the magenta light from reflecting off it

That doesn't mean people can't get upset at it. Similarly, the guys who made the Game of Thrones TV show had the right to nosedive the show it into a pool of shit; that doesn't mean fans can't get frustrated by them doing so.

RES and adblocker if you're still going to use the site as it turns to shit.

"Stop being a NEET"

TBH I don't think the first one's even about that. Sure, they're selling to some super rich people who will mess around with it and spend tons of cash on apps and content, but this is mostly going to be professionals buying it to develop with e.g. some making apps for it, but likely a lot of people in industries like Arch Viz and filmmaking who are seeing if it can be integrated into their workflows. They even put the target demographic in the name

They don't expect it to sell to general consumers right now. Sure, they're selling to some super rich people who will mess around with it and spend tons of cash on apps and content, but this is mostly going to be professionals buying it to develop with e.g. some making apps for it, but likely a lot of people in industries like Arch Viz and filmmaking who are seeing if it can be integrated into their workflows. There'll be some more gen pop uptake when the stripped down model comes out, but I suspect they're not shooting for wide adoption for another 5-10 years... but until then, there's a metric ton of money to be made off professionals.

There is more base rate fallacy than you can shake a stick at with any article talking about automated vehicles.

Reddit has a daily user count of 52 million people. This is like saying everyone in Mexico is named Jesus.

TBH with things like this there is always a very public burst that's followed by a sinkhole opening up. The rot is under the surface. Look at Digg: they did a big change, and the stats actually looked fine... till they didn't (it took much longer than people remember). They lost a lot of superusers who made the site worth visiting for typical people. Not all of them at first, but once a bunch were gone the site's quality slipped just enough to demotivate other superusers. In this case, they eliminated the platforms that mods say made being a mod bearable... I can think of no better way to self-sabotage.

"Blue car", or "running quickly" would also be unrelated words by that standard.

Vacuous non-point.
