Drone mystery deepens with Chinese man's troubling Google history after his arrest for 'flying over US base'

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A Chinese man has been arrested for allegedly flying a drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base, as the FBI investigates mysterious drones in New Jersey. Yinpiao Zhou, 39, a Chinese National now living in Brentwood, California, was charged with failure to register an aircraft not providing transportation and violation of national defense airspace. Zhou was arrested Monday at San Francisco International Airport prior to boarding a China-bound flight and made his initial appearance Tuesday in United States District Court in San Francisco. He is in federal custody pending prosecutors' appeal of a federal magistrate judge's decision to release him. No plea was taken and his arraignment is expected to be scheduled in US District Court in Los Angeles in the coming weeks.

On the first day of school, a child looks into a digital camera linked to the school's computer. Upon a quick scan, the machine reports that the child's facial contours indicate a likelihood toward aggression, and she is tagged for extra supervision. Not far away, another artificial intelligence screening system scans a man's face. It deduces from his brow shape that he is likely to be introverted, and he is rejected for a sales job. Plastic surgeons, meanwhile, find themselves overwhelmed with requests for a "perfect" face that doesn't show any "bad" traits.

A Chinese artificial intelligence engineer has given up on the search for love and "married" a robot he built himself. Zheng Jiajia, 31, decided to commit after failing to find a human spouse, his friend told Qianjiang Evening News. Zheng had also become tired of the constant nagging from his family and pressure to get married, so he turned to a robot he built late last year and named Yingying. After two months of "dating", he donned a black suit to "marry" her at a ceremony attended by his mother and friends at the weekend in the eastern city of Hangzhou. While not officially recognised by the authorities, the union had all the trappings of a typical Chinese wedding, with Yingying's head covered with a red cloth in accordance with local tradition.

So everyone in China has been following the European Championship in France, and this time it's the game between France and Iceland that made a lot of noise, generating 2.8 billion media impressions! It was fascinating for Chinese people as they really admired this team from Iceland. They discovered that Iceland is a country of only 330 thousand people, which is just a city for them. Shanghai for example has 25 million inhabitants! For a country so small to reach that stage of a Soccer Championship was just amazing for them.
