Thank for doing this AMA. My grandfather was an Austrian Jew, but he managed to escape Europe. However, all of his family, except for one brother, didn't make it. He died before I was born, and as far as I know, he never found out what happened to them (he also didn't like talking about it, according to my mother). My question is, what resources (specific to Austrian Jews) would you recommend that I use to research what happened to his family? Unfortunately, I do have very limited information, except some names. Thanks again.

ABA is a systematic way of teaching (and learning), which is very similar in the way we learn and teach naturally. A lot of people who critizice ABA are coming from a misunderstanding of what it is today, and from ways in which ABA was implemented in the past. Source: Parent of autistic child who has been learning with ABA therapy through play. It's looks mainly like using play to teach communication, functional play, and many other things. My boy enjoys it, although it needs to be balanced with free time and less formal play and interactions.

Do you think that Microsoft is taking VR and 'mixed reality' seriously, or is it another Microsoft initiative that will be abandoned as initial sales and growth don't live up to expectations in the short term?
