You’ve probably heard of Superhuman, the new email client started by Rahul Vohra (CEO), Conrad Irwin (CTO), and Vivek Sodera. As we enter a new phase of computing — where we can go beyond worrying about the plumbing and mechanics of new technology and focus on experience — we now see the superpowers that only elite users and developers and massive enterprises once had now become available to companies of all size, and to individuals, too. Rahul has traveled the email idea maze for nearly a decade: He previously founded Rapportive, a much-loved product that added social profiles to Gmail; it became the first Gmail plugin to scale to millions of users, kickstarted a whole ecosystem of email enhancements, and was ultimately acquired by LinkedIn.

In addition, Facebook’s Libra is designed to be a place to hold users’ funds, as well as allow people to exchange money. Libra is intended to integrate with Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp so its users can also send money back and forth just as easily as they send text messages. Libra’s other partners include financial and technology giants like Visa, PayPal, Spotify and Uber, who are equally experienced at providing users with easy including the Libra, can prove attractive to consumers and businesses in economies suffering from high inflation, high interest rates and unstable currency exchange rates.

Instead of making the pilots undergo further training, however, Boeing came up with a simple yet ingenious solution – a pilot checklist. “We use checklists in everything from procedures in system test plans to reminders on how to restore backups to our computer, says David Oberhettinger, the Chief Knowledge Officer of the Jet Propulsion Lab. For example, here’s the checklist we have created in Nuclino to onboard new team members:

Daniel Boorman, a veteran pilot working for Boeing and the technical lead for the development of the 787’s pilot system of checklists, has worked with the FBI, the World Health Organization, the American Society of Radiation Oncologists, and many more.

Over the last decade, Indian Americans have launched trucking schools, truck companies, truck washes, trucker temples and no-frills Indian restaurants modeled after truck stops back home, where Sikhs from the state of Punjab dominate the industry. Three years ago, a group of Sikh truckers in California won a settlement from a national shipping company after saying it discriminated against their faith. How a rural Oklahoma truck stop became a destination for Sikh Punjabis crossing America »

“Thirty years ago, it was hard to get into trucking because there were so few people like us in the business who could help you,” says Rashpal Dhindsa, a former trucker who runs Fontana-based Dhindsa Group of Companies, one of the oldest Sikh-owned U.S. trucking companies.

People should have clear, simple explanations of how online services work and use personal information.

The recent solidarity between Taiwan and Hong Kong took root five years ago, when Taiwan’s Sunflower Movement — which derailed a trade agreement with China — in part inspired Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement, which failed in its goal of making the territory more democratic. But that has changed as a result of heavy-handed tactics by China’s Communist government, which has sovereignty over Hong Kong but has promised it a high degree of autonomy, and which claims Taiwan as part of its own territory. As a result, candidates to become the Kuomintang presidential nominee have scrambled to denounce the “one country, two systems” framework that China uses to rule Hong Kong and that Xi has also proposed for Taiwan.

Colonisation of the Americas at the end of the 15th Century killed so many people, it disturbed Earth’s climate. “The Great Dying of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas led to the abandonment of enough cleared land that the resulting terrestrial carbon uptake had a detectable impact on both atmospheric CO₂ and global surface air temperatures,” Alexander Koch and colleagues write in their paper published in Quaternary Science Reviews. He commented: “Scientists understand that the so-called Little Ice Age was caused by several factors – a drop in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, a series of large volcanic eruptions, changes in land use and a temporary decline in solar activity.

(CNN) — Technology isn’t always foolproof, as about 100 Colorado drivers learned when Google Maps offered them a supposedly quick way out of a traffic jam. A crash on Peña Boulevard, a road leading to Denver International Airport, prompted the app to take drivers on a detour on Sunday. The alternate route took drivers down a dirt road that rain had turned into a muddy mess, and cars started sliding around.

What prevents cities from adopting electric buses en masse is a mix of technological, financial, and institutional challenges, according to a pair of reports from the World Resource Institute looking at efforts in 16 cities at various stages of adopting e-buses. The cities studied range from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia—where there’s been “no substantial planning” around electric buses—to cities like Philadelphia and Campinas, Brazil, which, respectively, are running a pilot test and expanding its number of e-buses, to successful cases in Shenzhen and the nearby Zhengzhou. That means when cities consider adopting electric buses, they need to understand the power grid upgrades and charging infrastructure required, and challenges associated with that.
