    You read my mind! I was just going to post this - So here's a real application than Snap and kiddie jokes (not saying they are not fun!) - a scramble suit to protect witness/whistl…

    How possible is it for users to have haptic gloves for typing instead of using controllers? I remain positive on VR productivity tools in future but think we have to get flexible a…

    I too feel I couldn't pass the $190m cost in the first place. Granted, I can see where the cost ramps up as explained by @morei. Could someone explain whether this is for the 10-ye…

    I'm half way through Google's crash course on ML which I think is helpful. As a machine learning field guide, I also find Andrew Ng's short paper series Machine Learning Yearning h…

    This is just personal experience. I have both google home and alexa (plus a dot). My observation for my use: 1. Google responds more to my command with slightly (not much) more nat…

    maybe I wasn't making it clear. I didn't mean they should be different. I'm merely saying their customer facing staff don't seem to be as brilliant in customer service as their eng…

    I remain neutral on the story's truthfulness but I think there's a difference between the quality of Google's engineers and the customer facing employees they hire.

    Isn't it ironic whilst Google's engineers are mass protesting against military contracts, Uber already signed a whole bunch without any moral dilemma whatsover. Tells a lot about t…

    As a Londonder, I regular switch between black cab, uber and gett (hailing service for black cab). I wouldn't say the 'trade is dying', the quality and reliability of London taxis …

    It seems cheap to me. I did some digital marketing course there. The classes are more on the basic side but certainly a good intro for some basics in programming and digital busine…

    Years ago, I walked into a pharmacy in London. The Indian owner was having a chitchat and told me they invaded China with no troops using Buddhism. The ignorance and arrogance were…
