In 1994, I remember the NCSA Mosaic What's New web page having just a few entries per day in early 1994. In 1994 I set up a website on SCO Unix. Microsoft Windows 3.1 did not have TCP-IP. 1994 was the first time I set up a Cisco router connect to a T1 internet connection. I remember using NCSA Mosaic. Netscape was first released in December 1994. 1994 was the year that the NSF allowed commercial use of the internet. I spent a lot of time 1994 reading the Usenet. Being a Unix admin was much easier because I could download stuff using ftp instead of using AOL, CompuServe or bulletin boards.

I liked my Fitbit Charge 5 and my recently purchased Fitbit Charge 6.
Both of my Fitbit Charge watches only have less than a five hour battery life while using GPS for cycling, running or walking.
I recently switched to using a Garmin Forerunner smartwatch.
Two big difference between the Garmin Forerunner are that there is no monthly charge for the Garmin device.
The second difference is that the battery in the Garmin Forerunner lasts for several days including a full day riding a bike using GPS.
I have my Fitbit Charge 6 sitting on the desk next to me and I was considering whether to cancel my Fitbit membership.
I do like the Fitbit Charge 6 for monitoring sleep because the Charge 6 is very simple and does work for low intensity fitness tracking.
For longer events like riding a century or longer on a bike, the Garmin Forerunner is a much better watch.
As a person who sits in front of two large monitors all day it is hard to look at a small screen for much other than maybe checking the time or the weather.
Since Google/Fitbit is dropping the web app, and I don't like using a mobile phone, the decision to cancel my Fitbit membership is much easier.

This was in the news a lots in the last couple of weeks.

The news stories have been rewriting the same content with much change to the content.

The company bought some patents from an Arizona company, then got some funding and did some trials.

Solar and wind power have variability in their productive hours, as multi-day weather events can impact output. Therefore, multi-day storage that is cost effective is important in grid reliability.

Boston startup Form Energy developed technology to address this need, revealing recently the chemistry behind their iron-air batteries. The company said its iron-air batteries can deliver renewables-sourced electricity for 100 hours at system costs competitive with conventional power plants. At full-scale production, Form Energy said the modules would deliver electricity at tenth the cost of lithium-ion batteries.

The iron-air battery is composed of cells filled with thousands of iron pellets that are exposed to air and create rust. The oxygen is then removed, reverting the rust to iron. Controlling this process allows the battery to be charged and discharged.

$200 million in Series D funding has been secured for the project, led by $25 million from ArcelorMittal’s XCarb innovation fund. ArcelorMittal will non-exclusively supply the iron materials for the battery system production, and Form Energy said it intends to source its iron domestically, manufacturing the batteries near where the iron was sourced.

The battery’s first project is a 1 MW installation with Minnesota-based utility Great River Energy, located near the American Iron Range. Form Energy said it expects to have a 300 MW, 500 module facility active at a Great River Energy power plant by 2023.

I was starting to type another sentence and accidentally posted it before I was done editing.

There are several companies working on similar technology.

Some of these 3d printed homes can be built for around $10,000 and much cheaper in developing countries.

Some of the stories about the 3d printed homes are mention earthquake resistant, "The company claims that the concrete mixture will last 175 years."

Most of the comments listed here have been covered in several stories from different web sites over several years.

3. A neighborhood of 3D-printed houses for rent in Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Eindhoven University of Technology is set to 3D print a neighborhood of concrete houses for rent named Project Milestone. They are most interested in the environmentally friendly potential of 3D printed houses by lowering concrete waste and transportation costs. How they’re doing it: The 3D printer that builds the homes lives on-site and consists of a large robotic arm fitted with a nozzle that squirts out a special cement formulation. The cement follows the architect’s digital blueprint in layers for high strength.

A 3D-Printed House Built to Withstand Powerful Earthquakes
BY SHAUNACY FERRO JULY 11, 2016

In China, construction companies are pioneering 3D-printed houses that can be created in a matter of hours. Just a few months after the world’s first fully 3D-printed office opened in Dubai (with the help of the Chinese architectural printers WinSun), the Beijing architects HuaShang Tengda are pushing the idea of cookie-cutter printed structures even further. According to Curbed, they’ve created a 3D-printed house that can withstand earthquakes of a magnitude of up to 8.0 on the Richter scale.

Each 3D printed home will have two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. Each home can withstand hurricanes and are seismic-approved in case of an earthquake, Hagler says.

I have been using the Edge based on Chromium for a since yesterday morning.
Edge now allows you to import your bookmarks and cookies from Chrome.
Transitioning to the new version of Edge is easy.
Functionally, the two browsers seem similar.
When I searched for a method to change the default search engine, several web sites mentioned that it was not possible with the current Edge developer build as of yesterday morning.
I just searched for and found some instructions for changing the default search engine, that I may try tomorrow.
The Edge Chromium browser does appear to work with Gmail and other Google apps.
The only difference I noticed was that for the Developer build of Edge Chromium, the color scheme is very bland without much contrast.

I hope this isn't another Embrace Extend Extinguish attempt.

I ride through this intersection on a regular basis. The intersection is fairly well lit with a park on the right side of the intersection. The news article was not specific as to the exact location where the accident happened. The speed limit is 35 mph on Mill Avenue approximately 100 feet South of the Intersection. The news story shows a picture of a sign "BEGIN RIGHT TURN LANE YIELD TO BIKES. The news story shows the remains of a flare on the ground on the Northbound side of Mill Avenue. There is a nice wide sidewalk in the center of the road with a sign with a no crossing symbol and "USE CROSSWALK" with an arrow pointing toward the intersection. There is a lot of Pedestrians in the area, and I can see why someone would cross the street to get to the center area which leads to the bar on the other side of the street.

Where I live in Scottsdale, Arizona, I have seen these several self driving vehicles almost every day depending on my route. These vehicles seem fairly common now. I have seen vehicles from several manufacturers and Uber. The vehicles usually have noticeable devices mounted on top of the vehicle.
These vehicles seem fairly common now. I ride a bicycle for approximately 36 miles per day. Most of the route has bicycle lanes. I am usually going slower than motor vehicle traffic except near intersections. On unusual behavior I have seen for these vehicle is for them to slow down to the speed I am riding on a bicycle, fifteen to twenty miles per hour on a road with a thirty five MPH speed limit. I have also seen the self driving vehicles slow down and stop in the middle of the road as I am riding nearby on a bicycle.

The story you linked was from 2014. If you spend a lot of money designing something and only produce a few vehicles, you are never going to achieve an economy of scale required to be cost competitive. There are a lot more recent stories showing successful implementation of fuel cells. Here is a story from a few months ago that is more relevant. http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/1... https://www.usatoday.com/story... The U.S. Army has begun testing an extreme off-road version of the Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. The military and General Motors collaborated to develop the Chevrolet Colorado ZH2 fuel cell electric truck, which could pave the way for a stealthy new mode of military transportation. Although its tricked-out design is conceptual and would likely not grace the final product, the Colorado ZH2 boasts a silent hydrogen fuel cell powertrain that could give American soldiers an edge in war zones. The Army is testing the vehicle for noise, detectability, torque, fuel economy and water vapor discharge. It was developed, assembled and tested at GM sites in Michigan in cooperation with the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC). The hydrogen fuel cell on board powers an electric motor that drives the vehicle, building on fuel-cell expertise GM has cultivated for years.

Toyota Puts Fuel-Cell Semi Truck to Test at Los Angeles Port April 19, 2017 https://www.bloomberg.com/news... The newest heavy-duty truck set to operate at the Port of Los Angeles emits an unusual byproduct that California could certainly use more of: water. Toyota Motor Corp.’s hydrogen fuel-cell truck, which will emit nothing but vapor, will begin a feasibility study at the port this summer. The Japanese automaker unveiled the concept Wednesday and will start testing it in short-distance fleets that run back and forth between the city’s docks and nearby warehouses operated by retailing giants. Swapping internal-combustion engines for fuel-cell stacks will support Governor Jerry Brown’s efforts to cut emissions from freight movement in California. The ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles and Oakland handle 40 percent of U.S. container traffic, with commercial shipments generating half of California’s toxic diesel-soot emissions and 45 percent of the nitrogen oxide that plagues L.A. with the nation’s worst smog.

Increasing the number of convenient hydrogen refueling options is one of the last remaining hurdles to widespread adoption of fuel cell vehicles.
Honda took a proactive approach to this challenge, and our research and development in this area is ongoing.
We have experience in the development of power stations to generate heat and electricity (cogeneration technology), as well as experience with home-refueled electric and natural gas vehicles.
So it was a natural next step for us to leverage that learning to explore potential solutions to the hydrogen refueling dilemma.
The Home Energy Station
Honda has operated an experimental Home Energy Station in Torrance, California, since 2003.
The Home Energy Station, which generates hydrogen from natural gas, is designed to provide heat and electricity for the home through fuel cell cogeneration and to supply fuel for a hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicle.
Honda has worked in cooperation with technology partner Plug Power, Inc., to reduce size and increase convenience in each subsequent generation of the Home Energy Station.
In 2007 Honda developed the still experimental Home Energy Station IV—which is even more efficient and better suited for home use than previous versions.
CO2 emissions for a household using the Home Energy Station are 30% lower than those for an average household using a gasoline-engine car and commercial electricity and heat. Honda believes in a future society powered by hydrogen, and we are serious about our commitment to contribute to the development of useful refueling solutions.

There was a typo, it should read "There are lots of educational fuel cell kits available. "

Have you looked at fuel cells. There are lost of educational fuel cell kits available. http://www.fuelcellstore.com/en/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=12

I live in Scottsdale, and my ten mile one way ride is great. The temperature is frequently over 110 degrees with a low temperature of 85 degrees. If you obey the laws, ride on the correct side of the road, traffic is not a problem. Riding home when it is 115 degrees is a great way to lose weight for a few hours. Texas has some great warm weather rides http://www.hh100.org/ After a little acclimation, and proper training, riding when it is warm is possible.
