we have the open-source/DIY community doing pretty much the same, having the ability to do complete fully autonomous vertical takeoff, transition, mission and landing scenarios for over a year now. All at a fraction of the cost. http://ardupilot.org/plane/doc...
The domestication into dogs was the result of introducing wolfs into society from when they where puppies and active breeding. Just having wolfs living closer to humans won't domesticate them, just like birds and other animals that practically like on top of us aren't domesticated.
Having a fire-walled server that collects one-way telemetry from the robots and transmit this to a cloud server, does no mean they are connected 'live' to the internet.
Comparing AR to web/mobile/backend is just silly. The people currently working on AR have to be highly skilled in some very specialized areas, basically inventing both the software and hardware technology as they go along. It's like comparing an actual rocket scientist to an car mechanic and wondering why the scientist has a higher salary.
You know back in the day this used to be a solved problem, using hardware cursor functionality. But today everything has at multiple layers of abstraction that is JIT compiled into some universal binaries running on an emulated machine in your browser framework that is sandboxes from your OS with nine circles of separation from your hardware . You know, all in the name of progress..
This is going to self regulate. This generation of parents still has the belief that a college educations guarantees a job, so they push their children to get one. But as we have seen in recent articles, education no longer automatically translates to getting hired. So over time there will be less interest in spending large amount of money on 'worthless' education. The cost will have to match the gain.
There are very real scenarios where you have truly limited connections where every byte counts. People working offshore on boats for example know what I am talking about. It's not uncommon that the entire ship crew have to share a single 512Kbit/sec satellite connection for their public internet (they also have dedicated channels for ship critical systems). A single unwanted download session could then make this unusable for everyone. Or even worse if you get a rouge win10 machine on the dedicated systems it could take down the critical parts also. It's sad when your OS is looking more and more like a piece of malware.
I have both the Rift and the Vive, and the Rift is collecting dust.
Rift may have better ergonomics, but the Vive has a much higher 'just works out of the box' factor with better tracking and software.
It is sadly also becoming a choice made on principle. The Rift was supposed to be the open system, but after the Facebook money they have turned into what is by far the most closed system of them all right now.
Give me ebooks that are reasonably priced, and deliver them as media where I have the freedom to select how I digest them. Give me this and I will buy the books. Anything involving special apps, with limited device support or DRM restricted software is an instant fail, match the convenience of unrestricted PDF or at least the plain old paper book or I will see myself out the door.
I can't remember the last time I even saw a commercial. All thanks to ad blockers and some wonder full and completely free download services for movies and tv series. Arrr, arrr!
Consequently I am shocked how bad it is, every time I have to use a computer without ad blocking. Likewise visiting someone with a television on in the background. Why would anyone have this repetitive loud voiced torture device in their living room?
A good programmer doesn't go around knowing everything by heart. He or she knows enough to know where to efficiently start looking when they are given a new task.
Just replace video card with car (and add a lot more money) or pretty much anything else and you have your answer. People with an expensive hobby, and money to spend.
The overly aggressive advertising strategies have been very successful at generating short term cash-flow, but also negativity again advertisement even in the general population. And now that more and people are opting out of ads, the companies are starting to backtrack. But I thinks it is a case of to little much to late, and that the well has already been poisoned. At least for me it has already resulted in a zero tolerance for ads.

No special effect and no budget. Just a bunch of good actors in a room with an interesting concept.
United is also getting a lot of public attention lately. Not sure how well it is working for them.
If you use the human model and internet as the reference for your AI, don't be surmised when the AI starts showing human traits..
it seems my preferred settings are the exact opposite of what the default ones are.
Everything else that is Google I don't touch. Exactly because of stuff like this. So as long as they don't mess with gmail, frankly I don't care.

Ban car rentals for anyone at the age of 52. It would be just as effective.
there are ads on YouTube?

Anyone who thinks that a wireless solution can compete with fiber in the long run, is having a pipe dream.
eating resources that you only can turn off to some degree, but not actually disable or uninstall.

Microsoft engineers would do the same for Windows..

you know unless it's a instant hit, they will pull the plug in a heartbeat. It's pretty much set up to fail from the start.

We will now get WEB-DL releases earlier.
