From what I read it’s not the equipment, but a bloated layer of bureaucratic management on massive salaries that is the real issue. The front line staff get pittance in comparison.

The problem is the realism aspect. Look at how often comedic intent is misinterpreted both on the internet and real life. You could end up causing real damage to a person's reputation through this, especially if the video clips are tak

I can’t see any way this doesn’t end up being sued out of existence by one of the celebrities. Half of me hopes it is. If it hasn’t happened already, it’s only a matter of time before someone uses this for something seriously malicious. Can

Communication obviously plays a big part but I think time to action is probably the better metric. You need to be able to act quicker than your opponent, and if you can't, you need to be able to absorb the damage they can inflict in th

Software engineering is a very new profession that is also evolving rapidly. Imagine how many centuries went by for the rules of English to get codified and accepted. And in some ways those rules are still constantly changing. These debates
