Comments so far are not mentioning the biggest advantage and motivation for switching to Figma: 1. Freedom from Mac hardware dependency 2. Cross platform compatibility. Heck even cross device - it would open up on iPad as well I assume (hav

Q: Anyone knows if there are any service that is equivalent of 'This Voice Does Not Exists'? Google Text-to-Speech has good Wavnet based voices[0], but the focus seems to be generating human like voice intonation, accents but not

Car race or endurance events cannot be compared to that of human ones. In the former case machine is the subject; and humans are innovating to evolve them to next level. In the later case, assumption is that all humans are at same level of

I was confused why this is Q1 2020 results and not Q4 2019 result (since sales figure is till Dec 28 2019). Non-Standard Quarters For a variety of reasons, some public companies will use a non-standard or non-calendar quarterly reporting
