Thanks for reading my first story! I just recently posted the intro to my Steemit page, so I thought I'd quickly follow it up with an actual post to give readers a taste of what to expect.

Tech

• reCAPTCHA is quietly making the biggest impact on A.I. and machine learning. An old story here, but with the recent updates to Google Translate, very relevant. TLDR; all those times you've had to enter the text from images when logging into your accounts for security reasons, you've also been training bots to recognize and translate text in real world. Next step -- identify objects.
• Boeing is developing the new slim-fit spacesuit.

Manufacturing

• Ever wonder how manufacturer's get cheap plastics to look like carbon fiber? Or how you would mass produce something with a CAMO finish? It's called water transfer printing and I could watch this for hours

Noteworthy

• Tezos On-Track to become Largest ICO Ever. $160 million in only 32 hours. Lots of thoughts around uncapped ICO's. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
