There is a contravention each time a reasonable person in the relevant class is misled. So the total award could, in theory, amount to many millions of dollars....

An electric vehicle successfully takes tailpipe emissions out of the environmental equation. Charge it with renewable energy and its impact flatlines. And we believe it doesnt have to. In fact, were committing to creating a completely climate-neutral car by 2030. For a solid shot at clean mobility, the automotive industry needs to eliminate all cradle-to-gate emissions. And this is the challenge that lies ahead. Our ambitious initiative, aptly namedPolestar 0 project, will be innovation-led and circularity focused....

There is, however, a silver lining: warp technology may have radical applications beyond space travel. Across the universe? It’s free, every week, in your inbox. The story of warp drives starts with Einsteins crowning achievement: general relativity. General relativity places two constraints on interstellar travel. First, nothing can be accelerated past the speed of light (around 300,000 km per second)....

It sounds pretty boring. What does Stretch do? Stretch has a box-like base with a set of wheels that can move in all directions. On top of the base are a large robotic arm and a perception mast.

This could be a breakthrough for artificial neural networks. You know: robot brains. So the scientists are using the equivalent of a math trick to make things simpler. Hows it work?The research is based on a theory of criticality in neural networks. Basically, all the neurons in your brain exist in an equilibrium between chaos and order. They dont all do the same thing, but they also arent bouncing around randomly....
