The Korean electronics giant unveiled its Samsung HMD Odyssey at a Microsoft event in San ©2017 The Seattle Times Francisco recently. It will sell for $499. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC. The device joins Windows-based immersive headsets built by Lenovo, HP, Acer and Dell, and aimed for release later this year. Microsoft is among the companies seeking a slice of the emerging market for modern head-mounted devices. High-end headsets, like Facebook-owned Oculus's Rift and the HTC Vive, require powerful Windows PCs to run. Others, including the Samsung Gear VR and Google's Daydream, are aimed at the wider audience of people who use smartphones. Microsoft's vision, for now, is tied to the PC, and specifically new features in the Windows operating system designed to make it easier to build and display immersive environments. The company also has its own hardware, but that hasn't been on display recently. Microsoft's HoloLens was a trailblazer when it was unveiled in 2015. The headset, whose visor shows computer-generated images projected onto objects in the wearer's environment without obscuring the view of the real world completely, was subsequently offered for sale to developers and businesses.

Darlings in Australia have been more expensive only during the Nasdaq bubble when they touched 45x. ■ Darling derating: Buying Australian darlings at these valuations has been a poor strategy in the past. Also, the current high valuation for Australia's darlings suggest they are especially vulnerable to rising bond yields and the coming end of the Australian profits recession. A rising discount rate and a lower premium for growth suggest investors should focus on stocks that could be future darlings. ■ Hello Daaarling: Future market darlings have shared many similar characteristics over the last 20 years.

ML is the ability of a computer to either automate or recommend appropriate actions by applying probability to data with a feedback loop that enables learning. We view ML as a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), which represents a broad collection of tools that include/leverage ML, such as natural language processing (NLP), self-driving cars, and robotics as well as some that are tangent to ML, such as logical rule-based algorithms. Although there have been multiple “AI Winters” since the 1950s where hype cycles were followed by a dearth of funding, ML is now an enduring innovation driver, in our opinion, due in part to the increasing ubiquity of affordable cloud-based processing power, data storage—we expect the pace of breakthroughs to accelerate. automation, customer support, marketing, and human resources) through both organic and M&A These innovations will make it easier for companies initiatives.
