    "Google Glass, first released in 2014, failed spectacularly due to its well-publicized issues around privacy concerns. Few will forget the term 'glassholes' for those who use Google Glass ability to record everyday life, potentially without any permission from those being recorded. However, Augmented Reality is now much closer to the public imagination. Augmented reality will go through many iterations.

    "Define the goal of the experiment. What do you want to test? Are you trying to improve conversion rates, increase engagement, or something else? Identify the variables to test. What are the different options that you want to test? For example, if you are testing different call-to-action buttons, your variables would be the different button text and colors.

I’d like to break down this by discussing impacts of post investment decisions for the Pixel handset lines at two levels of micro and macro evaluation, which will be able to lead us to an evidence-based answer of what I think Google should continue to invest and ramp up their investment to hit their target ROI. First, closely looking at micro aspects, Google’s business model is a so-called multisided platform, generating either free search engines and monetizing contents for Internet use"

  • "My preference would likely be server-side deployment given the specification of millions of users. However, it is worth considering a hybrid model too; where basic, non-sensitive, and less compute intensive tasks are processed on the client-side, while the heavy-duty processing is done on the server side. The main advantage of client-side deployment is it can work in real-time and offline. It also significantly reduces the load on your servers, making it more efficient in handling other tasks. N"
