He was the person who designed the Atari home computer SIO bus. For many peripherals, the device driver was actually contained within the device itself. Upon connection by the interface cable, the device driver would be uploaded. When the interface cable was removed, the device driver was removed.
A distributed web archive system, like BitTorrent, where different systems archive different webpages and can be searched in the same way.
I agree. Ulysses 31 is a good example. The French did the story lines, but they needed the Japanes Anime artists help to really give those animations a means to convey intense explosions. Sometimes they did that by mixing purples blues and whites, for supernova, red/orange/yellow/black for an exploding planet, or black/white cracks with god rays for strange exotic matter.
Disney offshored that work from Hollywood to the Far East decades ago, then brought it back when it was automated by computer. Artists from the art schools are way more qualified than to inbetween and fill in paint cells.
If you look at how they did many of those early animations, there were motion artists who took movies of dancers, rotoscoped the animation to get generic stick figures for reference. These frames were a closely guarded secret as they were reused between animations. When it came to make an animation, they took those reference frames, outlined each with a simple body, get detail artists do a fully detailed frame, then hand those over to inbetweeners who did the intermediate animation frames, and finally to the cel painters who outlined and filled in each individual frame. The deep learning system replaces these stages.
Saudi's have investments in SoftBank
Those conference centres are always fully booked with all sorts of conferences. They will find others to fill the space:
It's probably because just about anything written about in the past sci-fi novels is now possible. Those little worm drones in Dune that could climb walls, relay video and sound as well as inject poison? That's doable. Tiny little drones with cameras? Done. Tricorder with multispectral scanner? Done. Touchscreens? Done. Full dome displays? Done. VR headsets? Done. Swarms of microbots? Done.
Video-on-Demand by cable? Done. Talking car? Done. Remote surveillance of your home by pocket videoscreen? Done.
If we look at how we lived back in the 1960's compared to now, the only changes have been the shape and size of TV screens, electronics and home appliances. We've mapped the human genome, virome, proteonome, and every other -ome there is.
The only things left are holographic displays, light sabers, flying cars, time travel and teleportation. Maybe the first two can be done using air ionization:

I think they are concerned about the environmental impact of having a hyperloop station in their neighbourhood where certain undesirables could appear out of nowhere, mug whoever is around in the area and disappear again.
If they are going to build a big long squiggly tunnel underneath LA, then maybe it makes sense to make sure it will have more than one purpose - capacity for power, fibre-optics and other services.
I think it's more about a possible infestation of streetgangus criminalis being unintentionally transferred into their neighborhood.
France doesn't allow junk food, processed meat, soft drinks in their schools. Parents volunteer to help out at the school.
That's very true. I went to a state school with some ADHD kids who had been transferred in from other parts of the country? What triggered them? Boring lessons. History teacher who would make the class spend the entire hour just copying down notes from the blackboard. No discussion, just copy, copy, copy, then go to the next class. If you were lucky you managed to copy everything. If not, too bad. Language lessons would have everyone just stare at an overhead projector screen with pictures of things and their foreign language equivalent. And we'd go through these one after the other.
Science teachers had a better way. You got laminated work cards that told you exactly what to do. Copy this paragraph, do this experiment, take these measurements, what conclusions can you make? If you didn't get all the work done in time, you took it home with you.
I know stray radar microwaves can take out a PC. There was weather radar station close to where I lived. Whenever my smartphone app received a heavy rain warning, my gaming PC would crash seconds before.
One component that many defence contract required was a Nuclear Event Detector. This little component would set a pin when it detected the precursor of a nuclear detonation. What the system did next was up to the vendor, but usually it would involve a shutdown and disconnect of ports and power lines.
Just about every culture and civilisation have their own board games. Egyptians played "Dogs and Jackals", Vikings played "Hnefatafl". Back in the 1980's "Space Lines" was popular , a 3D tic-tac-toe. Every 8-bit computer system had a chess playing game system with some AI. It is one of those games with unlimited number of moves.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
