* '''Media Meets Social Mixed Reality''' -- Hubs by Mozilla, our experiment to bring social mixed reality to the browser, officially launched a new set of media tools, allowing users to share images, video, 3D models, and any content from anywhere on the web with others in a Hubs room simply by pasting a link. You can also upload files and share them, so the next time you need to review code or a slide presentation with colleagues why not do it together in mixed reality‽ Check our blog post for [https://blog.mozvr.com/new-in-hubs-images-videos-and-3d-models/ all the details].
* '''World’s Best Summarizer on Newsroom data set''' -- If you haven’t had a chance to see our summer intern Rishi’s Automatic Summarizer work yet, check out his presentation [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SqM4CXo66dYArgpy1CQTd4ZhX1kWLiXvgNas8rd43qM/edit#slide=id.g4046672159_0_463 slides]. You can also see an example of summarizations of [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vd-o-G0t94Mv454rNuIpG1PaZd3wy52JcKQfBEwi9gU/edit?usp=sharing long] and [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BUCI-UDcUCdYP5UM0rLk5_eZGeGqjL1VfsklTuKDUZI/edit?usp=sharing short] articles.
* '''Saving millions of dollars with Rust and WebAssembly''' -- Read a [https://twitter.com/jxxf/status/1027358517462626304 report] (via Twitter) on how a long established, very large (and somewhat old school) Fortune 500 insurance company saved millions of dollars by moving costly computation from the server to browser clients using WebAssembly, thanks in large part to the initiative of one of their internal developers. Oh, and it only took them about two weeks to go from idea to deployable solution.
* '''Would You Like To Take A Survey?''' -- The 2018 Rust language [https://blog.rust-lang.org/2018/08/08/survey.html survey] is out and we’d love to hear from you whether you use Rust or not. The survey is available in 14 languages, and in the first 24 hours we’ve had more responses (3100) than we had for the 2016 survey overall (and about 25% in languages other than English). Please feel free to share the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeLPbkkdR0OsjqQ6mFrfeDQbrILvps-YbwO0Y_H4rzuta4yoQ/viewform survey link] with friends, developer colleagues, at meetups, and broadly around your communities. Thanks!
