Reportage från Rongcheng. Orwellian? "The party is using both coercion and cooperation to integrate the scheme into people’s lives and have it bring benefits to them. “To me, that’s what makes it Orwellian,” says Hoffman of IISS. The social credit system provides incentives for people to not want to be on a blacklist. “It’s a preemptive way of shaping the way people think and shaping the way people act,” she says. And to the extent that people believe they can benefit socially and economically from the Communist Party staying in power, the system is working."
Holthausen Group, un fournisseur de gaz aux Pays-Bas, a transformé une Tesla Model S en lui adjoignant une pile à combustible. Résultat, une autonomie de 1 000 kilomètres.
THE RACE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND DATA IN MEDICINE
Researchers, doctors and biologists benefit from the massive amount of available information as health data becomes digitized. But it also becomes harder and harder for human brains to uncover the complexity and extract insights. Data is generated at a much faster pace than knowledge. This is THE scientific challenge. We need to create the tools to help human collective intelligence extract knowledge from this influx of data. Parts of these technologies already exist, parts need to be invented. OWKIN creates AI technologies to advance knowledge and discover the medicine of tomorrow.
Vivek Wadhwa: "My prediction is that 2015 will be the year in which tech takes baby steps in transforming medicine. The technologies that make this possible are advancing at exponential rates; their power and performance are increasing dramatically even as their prices fall and footprints shrink. The big leaps will start to happen at around the end of this decade."

The first edition of REthinking Energy, the flagship series from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), analyses the transformation of the global power sector while reviewing progress in the transition to a sustainable energy future. An alignment of economic forces, global population growth, the threat of climate change and rapid technological advances has set in motion a transformation of the global energy system. A new system based on renewables would enhance energy access and security, create jobs and safeguard health and the environment, IRENA’s report argues.
Safiirilasi, kehittynyt akku ja huipputehoa. Siinäpä joitakin Canonicalin Ubuntu Edge -puhelimen ominaisuuksia. Mutta Linux-luuria ei tule, jos netin joukkorahoittajat eivät lähde mukaan. I t-viikko 23.7.2013 14:43
By Yoshifumi Takemoto and Alan Katz - March 12, 2008 "From a windswept corner of Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, Japan Steel Works Ltd. controls the fate of the global nuclear-energy renaissance. There stands the only plant in the world, a survivor of Allied bombing in World War II, capable of producing the central part of a nuclear reactor's containment vessel in a single piece, reducing the risk of a radiation leak."
Aamulehti 20.2.2012: "Keinolihaa jo vuosia kehittänyt hollantilaistutkija Mark Post kertoi sunnuntaina, että ensimmäinen keinolihasta leivottu hampurilaispihvi on tarkoitus nauttia lokakuussa. Missä ja milloin tämä tapahtuu, on vielä tarkkaan varjeltu salaisuus. Myöskään sitä Post ei kertonut, kuka saa ensimmäisenä maistaa synteettistä lihaa. Mark Post puhui toimittajille sunnuntaina Vancouverissa Kanadassa järjestettävällä Yhdysvaltain tiedeviikolla."
