VIDEO: Watch Drone Footage Of Fukushima's Rebuilding Post-Nuclear Disaster
The government in Fukushima, Japan released drone footage Thursday showing the progression made in the area's rebuilding process six years after an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown devastated the region. The videos showed a multitude of areas in the prefecture, including Iwaki City, about 30 miles south of the Fukushima plant, and Futaba, a town 11 miles north of the plant. The videos also showed reconstruction on roads and coastlines, areas severely damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. The government has been working for six years to revive the area. Earlier in May, a bill was enacted to accelerate reconstruction by using state funding to aid the decontamination process in certain districts, according to the Japan Times.
New Android exploit lets hackers steal passwords with hidden on-screen tricks
Researchers have discovered a new exploit that could let hackers secretly hijack your phone while you're using it. They successfully carried out proof of concept attacks on multiple versions of Android, up to the 7.1.2 Using the exploit, criminals can trick you into tapping buttons you can't see, as well as record everything you do on your phone and collect important information, such as your passwords and PINs, without you even noticing. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.
Truly intelligent enemies could change the face of gaming
Critics noted that the conceit resembled the cyclical experience of playing a video game, in which dying resets a staged arrangement of obstacles. Often these are enemies, and the most common way they're surpassed is by the player violently dispatching them. Some games have kept this as cartoonish as Mario jumping on a Goomba's head, but others strive for vivid action and more-lifelike foes to pit the player against. But we know what enemies look like today -- how will we treat them in the games to come? Put another way: How will violence in gaming change in the future? The question is broad, and a little loaded. Gaming's evolution was stricken by moral panic about the effect of violent video games on kids. In those days, Mortal Kombat and Doom convinced the fearful that engaging in bloody digital combat -- as real as it looked in glorious 16-bit -- would warp players' minds.
Mark Zuckerberg calls for a universal basic income amid rumours of presidential bid by Facebook founder
Everyone should be paid a universal basic income, Mark Zuckerberg has said. The Facebook founder said that making sure everyone received basic pay would allow them to take more risks and try out new things, while knowing that they would still be able to afford the basic things they need to live. The idea of a universal basic income, or UBI, has become popular among technologists and people in Silicon Valley. It allows for more redistributive policies and will be important when automation takes their jobs, they say. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
3 Trends that Will Define Our Future – Erik P.M. Vermeulen – Medium
This week, I am in Japan teaching a course on business and law in a digital world. To prepare the next generation for the future, it is necessary to think about recent developments in technology. But we don't hear much from Japan these days (compared to the late 80s when Sony, Nikon, Toshiba and other amazing Japanese businesses were dominant). Yet, for various technologies, companies in Japan are still innovative and important. Japan approaches robotic technologies in a different way from other technology regions, such as Silicon Valley.
India Khabar Google AI defeats human Go champion
AlphaGo secured the victory after winning the second game in a three-part match. Following the defeat, Ke Jie told reporters: "I'm a little bit sad, it's a bit of a regret because I think I played pretty well." In Go, players take turns placing stones on a 19-by-19 grid, competing to take control of the most territory. It is considered to be one of the world's most complex games, and is much more challenging for computers than chess. AlphaGo has built up its expertise by studying older matches and playing thousands of games against itself.
Robots taking over U.S. factories imperil emerging-market growth
The robot revolution is here, and it's not all good for emerging-market economies. As the conversion to more automated factories picks up steam in countries like the U.S., Japan and Germany, there'll be less factory work outsourced to developing nations with relatively low labor costs, according to a report by Moody's Investors Service. The impact will be most severe in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand. While most robot-related anxiety in popular culture has swirled around unfounded concern of a violent cyborg rebellion and the more likely possibility of blue-collar job losses, Moody's raises the specter that developing countries that depend on manufactured exports could be in for a painful reckoning. Automated factories require a huge up-front investment in technology, but once that's in place the operational costs will often be far lower than in fully staffed manufacturing sites in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.
Paedophile banned from using Snapchat in landmark ruling
A convicted sex offender has been found guilty of breaching a sexual offences prevention order (SOPO) by using Snapchat, in a landmark case. David King had been banned from using any device incapable of retaining and displaying its internet history. He originally denied breaching the SOPO, with his defence arguing that Snapchat did not prevent his LG phone from saving his browsing history.
