At its core, a political party is a group of people with common goals banding together to contest elections. Congress and the elections are the public institutions. How people choose to form alliances and contest those elections is a private matter. The only way to make political parties public is to ban private political parties, which should throw up all sorts of red flags in your head.<p>As for Citizens United, people forget that it's not just about big for-profit companies spending money. Any non-profit group is a corporation. If you and I share a set of political ideas and want to advocate for them, we'd form a non-profit, print pamphlets, run ads, court donors, rinse and repeat. That's freedom at work. It's totally impractical to run such an operation as a single human being. It's totally irresponsible to set up such a group and then legally run it as a single human being. Incorporation is the legal means for people to embark on common projects. | null | 11,499,998 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,501,712 | null | comment | elementalest | 1,460,687,960 | The rift has more steps in the tracking process. It has to track the dots of the currently displayed pattern. Transpose that into 3D space. Then it can perform triangulation.<p>The vive needs to only convert the time information to position relative to the base station. Then using the base station position, it can localise in 3D via the same/similar triangulation approach as the rift.<p>Hence, the rift requires significantly more processing power than the vive. This will likely introduce some latency, though its probably negligible to human perception. Furthermore, as the rift shows different patterns, it is possible, if moving fast enough for the patterns to move between frames, warping the dot patterns of the headset. This is a similar problem to the vive's sweeping. The major problem I see with the rift, is that adding more objects to be tracked only increases latency and complexity for tracking from a 2D image (more flashing patterns).<p>The lighthouse does not need to handle different timestamps for tracking. At each instant in time when new sensor data is received, the pose model is updated with the new sensor info (similar to a kalman filter). The pose model can be designed to update a single axis at a time though. There is only ~17ms between each axis update. You would have to be moving very fast to cause issues with tracking.<p>So, objectively the vives tracking is a superior design. Its elegant and simple. The vive and rift may perform similarly within the restrictions of their respective domains of use, such that 90% of the time people can't tell the difference. However, I would argue the vives domain is conservative. Start to move outside of those domains, the lighthouse system has much more potential and very few limitations that cant be reasonably/practically mitigated. | null | 11,500,913 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,501,715 | null | comment | developer2 | 1,460,687,987 | Google specifically seems to target their services much more at the large enterprise, rather than small companies and individuals. Enterprise will always pay for support, so if they are your target market, it's a given you can get them to pay. It's less of a necessity for providing lower costs, and more of a business decision to not expend resources to acquire customers that aren't bringing in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars every month.<p>$10-20/month VPS providers often respond to, and actually take action, on tickets within 5-15 minutes at no extra cost. Of course there is no guarantee, and a ticket can certainly wind up unresolved for 24+ hours. In my experience, if the ticket you file clearly explains your issue and represents something they can realistically help you with, the level of service provided for such a low server cost can be exceptional. | null | 11,501,640 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,501,744 | null | comment | jamiequint | 1,460,688,488 | As someone who has both started and worked very early at multiple startups, it's so incredibly outlandish to hear someone claim that they brought in a business plan and some ideas, and that ideas alone should represent an equal percentage ownership to someone who actually worked on building a business for multiple years. In startups no battle plan ever survives first contact with the enemy. There is a reason why most successful companies release an initial version of a product early, then adapt to market conditions rather than sitting down, writing a long business plan, and executing it.<p>If Jeremy's MechE experience and background in self-driving cars was so valuable how did Cruise manage to pivot from just offering an autonomous driving add-on that only worked on the highway to building a fully-autonomous city-based driving solution without him. How did they manage to raise millions of dollars, write all the code, and build all the hardware without him. It just doesn't add up. | null | 11,501,470 | null | [
