"Google's work with AR will likely be incremental" - hope so. But then what is the long-term vision? cnet.com/tech/computing…
obv this is a sneak peek and broadly CG, but still:
I like the form factor. AR Glasses should not be discernible from normal glasses.
Like HTC Vive XR; these looks dorky (sorry)

A relatively "big" thing about this sneak peek is, imo, the fact that the content seems to exist in 3D space.
There's 2 ways, really, talking in terms of engineering, to make this happen on glasses:
Option 1. Lidar or optical projectors on the glasses draw dots - like the iPhone - and using those dots you project virtual content.
Option 2. Something completely different.
It's eery, but this paper we published in 1993 continues to be relevant. I'm half hoping Google pokes me sometime, because I'm not exactly keeping it a secret.
@regimechanger50@PeterZeihan 1. Despite close trade relations through-out the Cold War, Finnish railways go mostly North-South, few go East-West -> Lack of logistics supporting an invasion)
2. Lakes, bogs, forests make the terrain nigh impassable -- the only realistic access is via St Petersburg
@regimechanger50@PeterZeihan 3. The only land the Russians could theoretically take with little green men is Åland - a largely isolated, self-governing area of Finland, which was awarded to Finland by the League of Nations. USSR was not a member of the league at the time.
@regimechanger50@PeterZeihan This is tricky, because Finland gained independence *from Russia*, so technically the Åland island question is unresolved. The island is vital to Finnish logistics and maritime defense.
With respect @KateKurera, the only thing I don't like about your speech was the bit about "big corporations".
I don't like it, because all corporations, when successful, will become big.
Those that ride the #repairability wave have many $$ advantages.
A good solid for #repairable devices is of financial management: Roughly 30-40% of a given products' revenues come in the form of lifecycle maintenance.
In the coming decade, that margin will increase to 50-60% due to futureproofing and modularity among other things.
What's missed by financial managers though, is that this revenue is not free. It has two costs, one indirect:
First, the cost of staff to maintain said equipment - if your products fail "too infrequently", you're forced to use contractors (seasonal variability of need).
Whenever I'm learning a really technical thing (like Kanta PHR - FHIR - EMR interfacing) I'll talk to myself about it for many hours over a week or two.
The potential problem though @TinaHuang is that while this is great for learning at a relatively technical level, it doesn't help you in explaining what you learned to someone else.
I vividly remember talking about EHRs to a journalist for 3 hours and getting nowhere. (my fault)
What I personally do to try and deal with this problem, is instead of talking myself through the technical thing, I pretend I am explaining it to someone else. The questions the other person would ask then help me find where my knowledge is still not there yet.
