Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Inspiring, esp. as the US announces a not-so-subtle clamp on free speech via their “5 years of social media” assessment for all visitors to the USA.
When I lived in the US, I felt I could be myself without fear. Under Trump, that freedom is gone & I hate the effort to export that illiberalism

“shaving down the door handles to be flush with the body only increases the overall range of EVs by around one mile. And if you're alienating buyers just to save one measly mile, you've lost the plot.”

What a petty, petty, bigoted little man
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

We’re chasing the outrage of the day while a tidal wave of tech change reshapes wages, productivity, and inequality. Can we please have the grown‑up conversation about how to harness AI for broadly shared prosperity?

Even tho I no longer live in the US, the reason this geopolitical moment affects me so much is that it resonates deeply with my childhood: if you don’t stand up to bullies, they will keep coming at you.
You have no choice: You must bring friends on-side. You must hold the line. You must fight

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.
