The concept behind a rotating store is relatively simple; only a fraction of a catalog’s items are purchasable at any given time. The store effectively hides the remaining products, and transactions on that subset are impossible until a “rotation” occurs. In most cases, a rotation takes place at some predetermined cadence known by the consumer. In this sense, a rotating store shares similarities with a “flash sale.” Under this scenario, items that were likely purchasable beforehand have now been discounted for a short time, usually 1–2 days. However, the mechanism is slightly different as the “sale” in a rotating store is the opportunity to purchase the item. While possible, it does not have to include an actual discount.

AI’s biggest failure
Contrary to popular belief, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can’t fix everything. Sure AI has afforded breakthroughs in self-driving cars and healthcare, but it brings up the question of if there should be areas that AI should stay out of. If ever there was an area where AI should stay out of, it’s online test proctoring. These test-proctoring services include: Respondus, ProctorU, Proctorio, Examity, and Honorlock. These platforms have gained…
Read MoreI interviewed one of the World’s most advanced AI Systems: GPT3
I have been fascinated by computers in general since I was a kid. I can remember the computer lab when I was maybe 5 or 6 years old and we were being taught using a computer through the DOS prompt. I have seen computers and technology progress exponentially through time. In my humble opinion, Artificial Intelligence is going to shape our future more than we would like to acknowledge.

Read MoreWe need Ethical Artificial Intelligence
The diverse use cases for AI raise ethical and moral questions about how technology is used in a fair and just manner. Artificial intelligence (AI) is doing what the tech-world Cassandras have been predicting for some time: It is sending out curve balls, leaving a trail of misadventures and tricky questions around the ethics of using synthetic intelligence. Sometimes, spotting and understanding the dilemmas AI presents is easy, but often it is difficult to pin down the exact nature of the ethical questions it raises.
