   I personally don't have a problem with it, but a lot of people have a problem with it taking up a bit of system resources, primarily ram.

   I believe they're aligning themselves to revenue models similar to Sketch[1], Figma[2], Framer[3], and a quite a few other competitors in the same space [1] https://www.sketchapp.com/ [2] https://www.figma.c

   I've been itching to learn a bit about the industry and to be able to create & train ML models myself; I'm glad Google decided to put out a course where I wouldn't have to worry about the quality of instruction.

   Keep in mind, most Udemy courses are just like that. They "cost" around $100-$200 dollars, but are all basically permanently priced somewhere between $10 - $15. The price usually changes every couple weeks or so too.

   I wish there was a discount code for the Dead Tree Edition. I have a lot of trouble focusing on reading PDFs on my computer versus having a physical book in front of me. And I don't have a tablet, unfortunately.

    If you click through the links to purchase, you'll be able to see that purchasing his books are through third-party distributors which are all secure.

    Seeing things like this just make me want to get into ML. I'm sure there's a ton of complexity behind it but it seems that it just feels so rewarding.

    I just love how they simplify something that's seemingly esoteric to me. I work with the web and I still have a lot to learn.
