The Race to Harness AI Technology in Asia

Ashlee Clark Thompson on how Amazon’s new Go stores counter everything she knows about being black and shopping.
One guy with his phone on a selfie stick recorded himself as he selected snacks. And then there were the folks for whom the novelty had worn off and just wanted a vegetarian banh mi sandwich. No one cared what I was doing. Is this what it feels like to shop when you’re not black?

Embedded with New York’s alt-right for three months, an antifascist details how white nationalists live and thrive in plain sight.
They were mostly white-collar shitlords testing the waters of trolling in real life. Their pristine “Make America Great Again” hats, displayed boldly in a pack, showed little evidence of prior wear.

Six "strings" are stroked to trigger gestures from the printer, and the strength of the stroke affects the expression of the gesture by controlling its pitch. The gestures come from the code to print the strings, so the machine is in effect performing parts of its own construction.

Gold Stocks Will Benefit From Cyclical Change
As we have noted over the many years of the gold sector’s bear market, the gold miners will not rally for real until the real sector and macro fundamentals come into place.

A physics revolution that started with the flicker of a lightbulb.
The origin of quantam mechanics explained in less than five minutes, with nice drawings.
The German government asked the theoretical physicist Max Planck: how can lightbulbs be made more efficient? ... Working backwards from his data in ‘an act of despair’, Planck found that light wasn’t emitted continuously, but rather in discrete packets that he referred to as ‘quanta’.
