OT, it's always surprised me with the diversity of pets people buy that these animals can generally eat the same thing for every meal, while humans can't.

Re:Magic Leap Raises $461M from Saudis on Wednesday March 07, 2018 @01:46PM (#16538714)
I really can't understand the hatred directed towards Magic Leap. All we know at this point in time is a) those who have experienced the technology are impressed (but obviously bound to NDA) and b) ML has raised near-unprecedented amounts of money for a company with no product on sale (2.3MM by CB[1]). To think Google and Alibaba, not to mention other big funders, are so wrong in their large contributions is serious - such a mistake is historic. I'm not suggesting they will deliver, only that all we can say is we don't know.
