Very interesting. However---and perhaps maybe I've read too much American drug war propaganda---I wonder if the cartels would be interested as well if it turns out to be a profitable industry. In this regard, China has the advantage of a ve

I have this set up and I love it. I didn't do this intentionally at first. I'm a PhD student, so I have a powerful (well, was powerful at the time of purchase) desktop in my office. I use to carry around a hulking laptop (desktop replacemen

Really cool! Would love to learn the computer vision techniques behind it. (I know N. Dalal is one of the founders---is it all based on HOGs?)

Quality is definitely going down. I bought a blazer from them which looked amazing, but a week after wearing it, it was "frizzy"---some of the finer fibers were starting to unravel on the outside. I purchased a set of boots last year. They
