The rideshare market has reached a crossroads. Autonomous vehicles are on the rise, driver unrest is mounting, and customers are questioning everything from pricing to trust and safety. In the midst of it all, Lyft is mounting a comeback. CEO David Risher, who came into the role at Lyft two years ago, is taking a bird’s-eye view on the operation and pushing to reposition the company squarely against their competitor, Uber—with faster execution, bold new programs, and Lyft’s biggest internati

A group backed by tech billionaires spent years and $800 million secretly buying up over 60,000 acres of land in Solano County, California, 60 miles northeast of San Francisco.

Move aside, Google Maps: Snapchat’s Snap Map has hit a major milestone with 400 million monthly active users.
Launched in 2017, Snap Map began as a GPS-based feature that allowed users to see their friends’ real-time locations. Those who opted in could view a live map showing not just where their friends were, but also what was happening nearby—and share their own location as well.
Since then, Snapchat has significantly expanded its map features. Last year, Snap Map

Jsme ve vesmíru sami? Fermiho paradox – rozpor mezi vysokou pravděpodobností existence mimozemských civilizací a absencí důkazů o nich – trápí vědce i laiky už desítky let.

Email: It’s one of the more evil of the necessary evils. We all spend a significant chunk of our days wading through messages, to the point that it can feel like a never-ending task. Save us, artificial intelligence!

Getting an email in the mid-’90s was kind of an event—somewhere between hearing an unexpected knock at the door and walking into your own surprise party. The white-hot novelty of electronic mail is preserved in amber by a ridiculous 1994 film: reverse sexual-harassment thriller Disclosure. It opens with a little girl perusing what was once known as a “family computer” before casually shouting, “Daaaad, you got an email!” Her announcement is as much for the benefit of 1994 viewers as

Booking travel has become a bit of a game—especially if you want to get the best possible prices and avoid getting ripped off.
That’s because hotels and airlines have developed the lovely habit of futzing around endlessly with their rates. Depending on when, exactly, you go to book the room or flight you want, you might end up being charged way more than if you waited a few days or even hours for prices to drop.
The problem is that it’s damn-near impossible to figure out
Katastrofy jsou vzácné. Čím větší, tím vzácnější. Nicméně, pokud by opravdu došlo k nějaké globální katastrofě, jako by byla intenzivní solární bouře, extrémní pandemie nebo třeba jaderná patálie, nejspíš by se do značné míry rozpadl obchod. Nedostatek kritických zdrojů, jako je například palivo, by vedl k narušení produkce a zpracování potravin a tím pádem ke hrozbě hladomoru, především pokud jde o města, v nichž je velkém množství lidí závislých na dovozu potravin. http://www.osel.cz/14054-pos
