Humanity is too stupid to survive.Great 'murica leads the way with a smile!

1984 was an instruction book after all.

As much as I think these FAANG companies should be forced to pay more taxes, I think Android's business model is a very fair deal. Free OS in exchange of plugging their other free services. Don't Apple phones force you to use iTunes and all sorts of funky Apple cables and expensive iSutff? Nothing prevents us from using other search engines or Amazon's AppStore on an Android Device, and we cas have a wide range of phones at any price. I'd rather have Google Search preinstalled on all my phones than being forced in the Apple ecosystem. I'd rather have choice between hunders of makes than having only High End 1000$+ iPhones and used iPhones on which you can't trust the next update because it might kill it.

Am I the only one who thinks the color on the photo is not "bright pink" at all? Rose petals are bright pink, this stuff is more bronze or something. I hate when science is disappointing Anyway I wish the article also explained what is considered a "pigment" in this research because (1) we can't confirm this was used as one and (2) everything is colorful and could be used as a pigment. Remember the paintings made with blood : hemoglobin as a red pigment.

Driveless cars won't need stop signs or traffic lights; won't do all the stupid things human drivers do that causes congestio; wouldn't need large parking spaces, thus freeing space in cities; would have a strong effect on car ownership and could redefine the habitacle in a way that makes ride sharing more popular and convenient by splitting the costs on many customers without needing social interactions.

I spent on average 1/24h in a car, and for this I must pay more than 10$ a day + gas. If I could have a reliable and cost efficient driverless taxi service available, I'd certainly never own a car ever again. I live in a small rural town where public transportation is almost inexistant and taxi fares are expensive. I wish I could just use a car when I need to and let it go elsewhere when I don't need it. In my mind, fully autonomous cars will have a very big effect on car ownership for individuals. If a business were to own such cars for a taxi service, there would be no much maintenance costs, just the acquisition price and power (for electric cars, and where I live power is cheap), so I think they could come up with a price that is very competitive and have a good profit margin. They would have no taxi drivers to pay and I hope the taxi licencing would be adapted to this new reality and that governments won't try to slow this revolution with heavy taxation. They should instead have a contingency plan (buying back licences, facilitate career change, etc.) for these drivers that normal technological advancement pushes out of a job.
