Visionary designer and technologist John Maeda defines the fundamental laws of how computers think, and why you should care even if you aren't a programmer. "Maeda is to design what Warren Buffett is to finance." --Wired John Maeda is one of the world's preeminent interdisciplinary thinkers on technology and design. In How to Speak Machine, he offers a set of simple laws that govern not only the computers of today, but the unimaginable machines of the future. Technology is already more powerful than we can comprehend, and getting more powerful at an exponential pace. Once set in motion, algorithms never tire. And when a program's size, speed, and tirelessness combine with its ability to learn and transform itself, the outcome can be unpredictable and dangerous. Take the seemingly instant transformation of Microsoft's chatbot Tay into a hate-spewing racist, or how crime-predicting algorithms reinforce racial bias. How to Speak Machine provides a coherent framework for today's product designers, business leaders, and policymakers to grasp this brave new world. Drawing on his wide-ranging experience from engineering to computer science to design, Maeda shows how businesses and individuals can identify opportunities afforded by technology to make world-changing and inclusive products--while avoiding the pitfalls inherent to the medium.Binding Type: Hardcover

Must have!
Color: Light Grey, Size: Queen
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This comforter is absolutely amazing! It feels like something you'd find in a luxury hotel—soft, lightweight, airy, and incredibly comfortable. It has quickly become one of the best purchases I've made. The quality exceeded my expectations, and it's perfect for staying cozy without feeling too heavy.
My kids love it so much that they're constantly trying to steal it from me! If you're looking for a comfortable, high-quality comforter, I highly recommend this one. You won't be disappointed!

Solid Affordable Duvet Insert Comforter
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is a great affordable all-season duvet insert comforter. There are multiple tie downs to attach to the duvet cover, not just the 4 corners. It is soft and washes well. It's plenty warm in the cold but might be too much during the hotter months. I live in San Diego where the average yearly temperature is at least 70 degrees. During the majority of the year this comforter ended up being too warm for me. I've used it for nearly 2 years but just replaced it with the much thinner Bedsure cooling comforter. If you're a hot sleeper or live in a warm climate, I'd recommend that product. This is still a good comforter, just not for me.
