I read both of these in the last year and they're both phenomenal. I'm working my way through the classics, there's a reason they've survived centuries. Actually, I listened to a dramatization of The Three Musketeers and

Check out the 24h chart on https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/7456/Who-will-win-t... The roughly 50-45 Trump-Biden favor briefly flipped to 48-50 but now looks to be reverting to the mean.

Their own video showing this interface is awkward as hell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MirzFk_DSiI Speech is not an optimal interface (in most cases). The AI just rambles along and there's so much time wasted waiti

Unfortunately, your local farm raised meat might still go to that big slaughterhouse. It's expensive for small farmers to run their own on-site USDA inspected slaughterhouse. Also, the chickens you eat are still likely suffering for mu

Disney use Unreal Engine for their dynamic greenscreen LED wall which they film The Mandalorian and others against. That's got to be at least as important as Fortnite characters.
