Waymo's self-driving car encounters a flashing yellow left turn arrow in Mesa, Arizona
AAAAND it’s Monday again! During the week, we consume massive amounts of content. However, often we see something that is cool and than we either forget about it or it is already replaced by the next cool thing.
For me this cool stuff is not necessarily just a cool video. It is something that either can bring some value to you and me, makes you think or wonder about something or just inspires you to do something new. It would be amazing, if you pause for a second and contemplate what was interesting for you last week and share it in the comments below. So, are you ready? Let's jump in then.
Fascinating Learning Cars
Everyday, we hear more and more about self-driving cars. With drivers (pun unintended) like Tesla, it becomes more and more present in our daily lives. It slowly becomes as a prime example for the future that we are approaching when digitization is done right. This article of James Stout on Medium impressively shows the process and the countless hours of effort that goes into developing such a technology. He explains what engineers do in order to beat the biggest challenges this industry faces: Earning the trust of the consumers.
Article I wrote: iPhone Hack
Last week, I stumbled about this amazing iPhone Hack and wrote a block post about it. You can free-up up to 2GB of a storage on your otherwise completely packed iPhone.
Let me know what you think about it!
Dr. Julian Hosp calms us down
The last few days have been stormy in the crypto world. First China announced that it wants to regulate or prohibit the ICO hype and then news started to come up that local trading markets should be closed. However, in his latest video Hosp puts this into perspective. It is good to have someone experienced to share his experience. He is also on Steemit by the way!
Quote of the week:
The climate is changing. The proper political debate would be how to deal with these risks.
- Steven Chu, Professor of Physics.
With hurricane Irma destroying lives and existences the question on how we could change our behavior for the climate to the good. One thing is for sure though: Trump would need to see now that climate change is real!
