Super cool project! How do you carry the microphones on your person? The big one looks like it wouldn’t clip to a shirt very easily. Does it pick up your voice from your pocket?

Regardless of validity of the 10k hour “rule”, you absolutely can. My mother, who had an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering but was a stay-at-home mom for 25 years, went to law school when she was 46. She worked as a patent atto

I can think of lots of nefarious reasons why a company would buy a browser extension, but I’m having a hard time thinking of a a potential good outcome of this. If we put on our optimism hats, why would Avast buy an extension? What benefit

Is this going to be a stationary food truck? Or is it going to do home deliveries? Either way, good luck to them. There is a lot of competition in both spaces.
