The Apple Car is Dead, But the Innovation Behind It Lives on

Related media - Linked media Innovation on wheels Has Apple really crashed the car? The tech giant has killed its electric vehicle project as it pivots to artificial intelligence, prompting many observers to declare the venture a major failure for the company. Here’s a contrarian thought: That critique misses a wider point about how Apple innovates, because the company has used the project to power a whole ecosystem of products and services that have been unmitigated successes. Apple invested billions to build a self-driving car. Reports emerged about the secret effort, code-named Project Titan, in 2014, and the company has never publicly acknowledged its existence. That said, it told staff on Tuesday that many of them would be redeployed. There had been an wider internal debate abo...

Companies Were Big on CBD. Not Anymore.

Connected media - Related media “My account on Meta is forever banned from making any advertising after I posted once under our company’s page about our CBD products and it was flagged,” said Clarice Coppolino, head of branding and product development for Vital Leaf, which makes CBD chocolate, skin care and tinctures. The Covid-19 pandemic also took a toll on the industry. While sales in the early weeks and months of the pandemic soared as nervous consumers sought relief through CBD-infused products, the interest among large companies and investors fell off. “Covid clearly shifted consumer packaged goods companies away from the CBD space and what was possible there to focusing on simply meeting food demand,” said Carmen Brace, a consultant who worked with companies that sell consumer...

Vision Pro Goggles Are Not Safe While Driving a Tesla, U.S. Says

Linked media - Related media Is this the future? A world in which people can’t step away from the digital realm long enough to focus solely on everyday tasks such as socializing or exercising? Eric Decker, a YouTube and TikTok creator who goes by the name Airrack, posted a video poking fun at an “average day for an Apple Vision Pro owner,” showing him wearing the headset while lifting weights at the gym, getting his hair cut, going through airport security, walking down a street and even showering. (The Vision Pro is not waterproof.) “I truly feel most of these videos are skits,” Mr. Lentini said. “You can just tell.” Still, skit or not, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Tuesday that distracted driving is no joke. In 2021, more than 3,500 people in the United...

Associated media - Related media Abraham and Adra, an Israeli and Palestinian filmmaking team, had just won the festival’s award for best documentary for “No Other Land,” a movie about Palestinian resistance to Israeli campaigns in the occupied territories.

The audience, which included the culture minister of Germany, Claudia Roth, applauded loudly, and there were whistles and cheers in the hall. In the days since, Abraham and Adra’s speeches have become the latest flashpoint in a long-running ...

Jean-Claude Weill, “a little lit” and luminous immunologist

Jean-Claude Weill, professor emeritus of immunology at the Necker-Enfants-Malades Faculty of Medicine, in Paris, March 14, 2024. JEANNE FRANK/DIVERGENCE FOR “THE WORLD” “Funny researcher” : it was he who insisted that this term appear on the cover of the book, his first. As a counterweight, he explains, to the mention “of the Academy of Sciences” which appears under his name, and which he finds far too solemn. While being very proud to belong “at this chic club”. Where, however, he hardly goes… The immunologist Jean-Claude Weill is a goldsmith of contradiction, a king of the irreconcilable, which he drapes in a delightful irony. Never, in the memory of a journalist, have we encountered a candidate with a portrait punctuating his sen...
