When I worked at a startup and we were on the verge of being acquired by a very large company, I remember meeting one of the reports-to-C-level executives overseeing the whole thing. He had no problem pausing for 15-30+ seconds to digest w

I didn't get the controversy in the article until I saw the camera-based enforcement, restricted access, etc. I lived in a "15 minute city" in downtown Boston, MA (USA) for quite some time and it worked very well, even witho

FWIW, this has roughly been the plan for a while. Full-on, daily-wearable AR is a major end goal. When you look at the past and present roadmaps, it's been all about progressively building hardware and software capabilities to enable

When my startup was acquired a few years ago, our infra was hosted at AWS, but most of our "cloud features" were used more for monitoring, alerting, and dashboarding. The real work was done by Windows/SQL and .NET app code.

I'm sure. I also missed out on the second half of my joining bonus that would have actually been worth more due to the absolute cratering of the company stock price.
