Those aren’t the ones from the linked article. The linked article is referring to the Swarovski AX Visio set which isn’t on sale yet. You linked to the Swarovski Optik Swarovision which doesn’t have any of the smart tech.
Pretty sure it's powered by the Merlin app, which is crowd sourced by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I appreciate the technology but at the same time disagree with the unannounced monetization of user submitted data.

A beautiful piece, thank you. But this is more about him prioritizing family over his book. It must have been on a podcast I remember him talking about how he kind of had a crisis of faith over running 43folders and stopped doing little "life hack" posts.
The closest I've seen has been developers that actually write documentation for what they're working on, allowing others to get up to speed on it faster even after they no longer work on the project.
I don't think this is an accurate assessment. Yes, GTD wants you to get everything out of your head and onto the "paper" in front of you. And yes, this might take a long time for some people, up to hours or days. But the key thing is it's all written down. Once it is, then you go through the collected inputs and actually figure out what to do with them. But you can't do that while your brain is still going "did I write this other thing down?" You need a clear mind before you start processing.
Millions of products from 15,000+ retailers, brands, and distributors are being listed, sold, & delivered through CommerceHub to earn $30+ billion GMV annually. A message house, we sit in between people on all sides of E-commerce helping them do what they do better and simpler.
Why CommerceHub?
The world is seeing explosive growth in e-commerce. Virtually all retailers and brands are investing heavily in e-commerce digital services which bodes well for us. Last year COVID-19 was a catalyst that prompted a lot of retailers to increase the urgency with which they looked to improve their end to end processes from orders, inventory, delivery, etc. That translated into an amazing year for CommerceHub. Our company is strong and stable and positioned for amazing growth for the next few years.
Engineering Department Excellence
- Our department has over a hundred software engineers, but we’re organized into small teams.
- This role will be focused on new development projects helping drive the future of the company built on a modern tech stack (Angular, Typescript/Node on AWS (Lambda, Kinesis, DynamoDB, etc.).
- Teams “own” their products. You’re responsible for helping drive the direction and value of the product to the customer, partnering with your Product Manager and other stakeholders of course. You design, build, maintain, and support.
Process
- We conduct weekly sprints. Why? It gives us 52 opportunities per year to adjust course quickly to ensure we’re working on the right things.
- Teams deploy to prod as soon as the team is ready (we are almost fully there)
- We try to balance product and feature development with Engineering needs (we plan for 50% capacity in each sprint to allow for unknown complexities and time for engineers to pull their own wish-list items if the team finishes the sprint-committed work).
Not quite. The semantic web focuses on normalizing all data into a single ontology, which is great for computers but does nothing to standardize the user interface side of accessing data. Needless to say, it also hasn't gotten far.
That's a good point, and I completely agree that it hasn't gotten far.
I do think that if it were to be embraced as a more common standard on websites, building a more standard UI on top should be _relatively_ simple as each websites underlying data would _hopefully_ be structured the same.
