Florida allows self-driving car tests without backup drivers
[ad_1] The measure takes effect July 1st. There are already plans to test driverless cars in Florida, such as Ford’s Miami campaign. This could encourage others who want to take advantage of the climate and looser rules, though. And right now, there are few states that allow completely driver-free tests on their roads — for […]
Genius accuses Google of copying its lyrics data
[ad_1] Google denied anything sinister in a statement to the Wall Street Journal. The company takes copyright “very seriously” and held its sourcing partners “accountable” for honoring the terms to its agreements — it doesn’t create the panels themselves. A key source for song info, LyricFind, told the WSJ that its staff “do not source” […]
EU says Russia conducted ‘sustained’ election interference campaign
[ad_1] There was a change in strategy this time around, the EU added. Instead of launching large efforts online, the Russians and the political figures linked to them preferred “smaller-scale,” more regional influence campaigns that would be harder to catch. The report writers credit Facebook, Google, Twitter and others with doing a better job of […]
Juul faces House investigation over teen e-cigarette use
[ad_1] The request also covers less explicitly youth-oriented figures, such as Juul-related data on clinical trials to quit smoking.

Whether or not there’s a deeper explanation for what went wrong, the incident illustrates how Target’s 2013 data breach has shaped its responses to technical problems — it now […]
The final dispatch from E3 2019
[ad_1] Another E3 is over. The show gave us new consoles — some powerful, others retro-inspired — customizable controllers and many, many video games. Final Fantasy VII Remake? Yep. The upcoming Avengers game? Of course. A sequel to the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Oh yeah, that happened too. Did we mention there […]
The best soda maker
[ad_1] Why you should trust us In reporting this guide, we sought the advice of some of the best soda experts we could find: Jeffrey Morgenthaler, the bar manager at Portland, Oregon’s Clyde Common and Pépé Le Moko; water sommelier Martin Riese; and craft soda-syrup makers Chris Onstad and Dan McLaughlin of Portland Soda Works.

Microsoft shows us the Surface
[ad_1] There have always been big differences between Microsoft and Apple, but perhaps the most stark was that Apple made its own computers. Microsoft didn’t. You could buy a Windows PC from dozens of companies, but not Microsoft — something that led Apple to tout its tight system of hardware and software designed to work […]
Tesla’s mystery test car may be a Model S refresh
[ad_1] If you’re wondering, it didn’t appear to be a Model Y — the upcoming crossover has lights like those on the Model 3, not to mention a conspicuously raised rear end that wasn’t present here. There is the possibility that this is just a “sloppy wrapping job,” as the eyewitness initially suspected. That doesn’t […]
