Arguably, at a scale, it is cheaper for every separate device to process it's own voice-to-text and automate things. But, doing it offline, has no incentive for advertising companies. Universities / home automation companies &#x2F

Isn't labour law supposed to prevent abuses like this? I mean, I see your point, but the guy that wrote that letter had some characteristics of a textbook psychopath. We had one like him few years back. One person in a large team was e

The rule is that you ignore the constant. O(5) is still O(1). It is not 1 but that's the agreement. In your specific case maybe you both weren't aware of the nomenclature? In any case, they did you a favor. If you are arguing abou

Until this morning I had no idea that you existed, and as midnight passed I just finished reading several hundred pages in two works that you wrote. I now know your name, placed you in my list of idols, decided to remember some of your advi

Heck, lately one can't even dislike Google's projects here. They have so many employees in the pr team here that you'll get moded down fast. Just watch my post tank now for stating this.
