A lot of places I have worked at would love this to show a KPI in a simple manner, and they didn't care about the time axis and this type of slide was common:
KPI #13
2018: 124
2019: 125 (A BIGGER NUMBER THAN 2018, YAY!)
If you read more closely, the book Fat City: How Washington Wastes Your Taxes was the one which stated that it was an "unnecessary agency" and the Regan admin liked the book. Newt Gingrich was the one who spearheaded the closure of the OTA.
In America, we all bitch about politics, give up, and wonder why things suck. Meanwhile people are protesting quite vigorously, in HK, Paris, all over the Middle East a few years ago, etc. If we want the change we're looking for, we need to get in the streets and disrupt daily life for everyone until we collectively get what we are demanding.
America is just way bigger than any of those countries/cities; and we also know that, historically, American protestors have had significant difficulties organising themselves in a manner that is representative of the interests of the people who they have managed to rally.
You sound really smart in your other comments usually, but this comment is dumb and dumber. Who cares what tea people drink? Why did you have to get so mean about tea? Are you having a bad day? Seriously, life is too short to get angry over some fancy teas.
Looks really cool, something I've been waiting for at this price level for years since I saw the Microsoft Hololens. I'll never fund another Kickstarter, however, due to the time I funded a 3D printer that was almost as complete a product as this and it was still 1 year late and never worked right. If a product like this is seriously awesome, they should get proper funding to produce it as a sellable product rather than take this Kickstarter shortcut and, as is the usual case, fuck over the customers for some time before getting it right. I predict they will come up with a decent finished product in the next few years, but before that happens some other company will come out with a similar but better working alternative that I don't have to take the Kickstarter risk for. I'm not trying to be a dickhead, but a Kickstarter is nothing but a red flag for me and a ton of other people at this point.
Jeri already delivered pretty much the very same Kickstarter 4-6 years ago https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/technicalillusions/cast... but company was lured by no other than Andy Rubin into a VC circus https://www.roadtovr.com/ar-glasses-company-castar-lands-15-... and the rest is rather predictable - your product is worth more unreleased, and whole purpose of the company is finding a bigger fool to buy you out. Board fired technical staff, bought few game studios, ran out of VC money and moved on to pillage something else.
Yeah, Jeri's Amphour talk is one of the things I make people I know who are trying to get into tech startups listen to. It's a great insight into what happens when a sucessful startup gets the wrong kind of VC help.
For what it's worth, the original glasses set worked wonderfully years ago when I used them and I'll back this one again. I'm still determined to have my floating CAD solidworks demo with it. Customers will freaking love it.
p.s. The games were fun too. Try it with Alien Swarm.
But it was the very best kind of VC you could hope for. Andy Rubin, former Apple/General Magic employee, founder of two companies with very successful exits (danger, android).
Thanks for the information, this colors the Kickstarter choice a lot differently and actually makes me trust it a bit more, so I'm going to "edit" my original comment (I can't actually edit it, so consider this the edit/retraction) to mention that, in this instance, I've changed my mind.
There is a bit of nuance here. IE today still isn’t decoupled from Windows. MS has been shoving it into an ever smaller corner of Windows but IE is the OS provided webview for a lot of old crusty applications that needed to render HTML.
What they’re talking about is IE the OS component didn’t mean that IE the user-facing general-purpose browser had to be the default.
