First time seeing the 'inaccessible if coming from the EU' message. Wonder if there are any stats out there to break down how many non-EU websites are opting to stop the traffic vs complying with the GDPR.

Love the concept, great work. Came across these guys who are working on making travel more accessible for the deaf community. I would see some overlap in using Alexa to make more voice inclusive content accessible https://start

Interesting comparison against electric car battery benchmarks where 15% for 150,000km seems to be achievable (if on average 15k is done annually that would be approx 1.5% capacity loss compared to 3% for the new organic battery). https:&#

Seems that you need credentials to access the full article. Based on the abstract it sounds a good read. Japanese phrase “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down” might need to be changed to “The nail that sticks out gets to see furthe

Not sure how end-to-end encryption would protect the end user from getting SPAM email, being trolled on the SM, seeing fake news or equivalent. Most of the issues come from the fact that there are no universal quality or identity checks fo

It would make a lot of sense. The fact that currently there isn't a single unique identifier per online user allows for an unregulated environment. Obviously, there are things like IPs, the mobile device identifies (phone number...)

agree but it would have to be regulated with virtual/dedicated road lines relatively high up to prevent noise/light blocking issues. if centrally managed, the issues you describe could be minimized.

electric would be the way it goes and you could argue that flying drones flying at a constant speed could be more economical than a self-driving car limited by the current road infrastructure.

Going a bit controversial here but will self-driving cars be disrupted before they even take off. The big factor that I feel will impact how autonomous travel will evolve in the future is drone taxies/cars. Providing there is a chang

Artificial Intelligence goes further than just being automation through software or robotics. The difference is the 'intelligence' where, at an increasing pace, more complex tasks can be done completely autonomously. Therefore t

yes, modern art is a love/hate kind of thing. However, I don't recall seeing any news about modern art being stolen recently (even though some can be worth silly money). Using your example we can conclude that art thieves could
