Beyond a few news articles in there, that actually looks surprisingly balanced.
In my experience it's the inbox/YouTube where it really gets into it. Subscribing to some of these "alternative news" sources brings a deluge of patently false information with dangerous spin to it.
I'd imagine it's scant on details because it's still a theory. The next phase of the competition is funds to build a proof of concept.

Wireless switches — consisting of a transmitter on the switch and a receiver near a light fixture or other appliance — have been around for many years, and have been proven that they can reduce the material and labour cost for wiring houses, says Kambiz Moez, director of electrical engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, but they require batteries to operate.
So the product already exists, what is novel here is a concept to harvest RF energy I stead of batteries.
Neat technology, but nonsense title. The Stethoscope is rarely used for something as specific as the heartbeat anymore. Listening to various body systems, though? That's where it finds use.
Are the lungs congested? Confirming what the sinus rhythm is showi?
Computers, for all their advancements are still diagnostic tools that need confirmation. They still give off false positives and miss things.

It was... Once upon a time. Now those who drink coffee largely regard it as brown, burnt water.
Tim Hortons was once a magical place that lives up to the nostalgia fuel marketing that drives the franchise to this day. Every single store has actual bakers on staff who made the pastries, the coffee was genuinely fresh, and it seemed like staff were valued.
Then it got sold to the investment bankers and franchise conglomerates. It's been min/maxed to death, whittling down every cost to the bare minimum. Things taste like cardboard, and people go because it's there.
Interestingly enough, when McDonald's moved into the coffee game, they picked up the bean contract that Tim Hortons held for eons. Tim's dropped it for cost, and not an insignificant amount of people swapped over to McDonald's for their coffee.
It's articles like this that make me glad there are numerous horses in the race.
Autonomous driving is an incredibly complex problem. We have people like Musk who thought they could throw money at the problem and have it solved in a few years, with disastrous results.
We've lost Uber, and Cruise is flagging. Both had been touted as examples to follow. Both have had some serious safety problems from moving too quickly and lacking caution.
Behind all of this is Waymo. Plodding along, gathering vast amounts of data and experience and iterating slowly.
I think they, out of all these players, understand the stakes at hand, and the potential profit on the other end. But you have to get it right. It has to be nearly perfect, because people need to trust it, and our emotions are fickle.
Or, and hear me out here, they heard that the investigative committee was set to release their findings in 2 weeks, and wanted that process to work itself out first.
They are there in case things go sideways and we need to get Canadians out. You'd want people who are trained to make decisions quickly in a warzone and act independently in the midst of chaos.
NATO is not involved in this matter. This is an Israeli/Middle East conflict.
The headline is the least interesting part of the interview. Basically, everything is so curated and pre-planned, it's hardly a debate. The politicians are playing to TV.
His thoughts on decision making, national unity, and the state of the country were more interesting to me. Especially when he broke out of a partisan mindset. Particularly when he hints how media has become lazy in searching social media and blowing things up from a relatively minor part of the population, rather than doing journalistic work. When he was PM, those discussions happened in the community bar. If you weren't present, you missed the discussion entirely.
This are the kinds of moments where Governments are supposed to take meaningful, intentional investments on behalf of its citizens. We know where things are going, we're a mineral rich country, and now we need the leadership to take us there.
Problem is, it looks bad in a 4 year time span, and will look brilliant in 20 years, once any possibility of taking credit has passed. It's where modern politics fail miserably.
Stop selling our mineral rights. Keep the mining and processing companies in Canadian hands, invest in education, research and development, and manufacturing. Invest in Canadian owners and businesses, and socialize whatever isn't profitable in the short term for a long term bet. Then, don't sell it all when it gets profitable.
If our governments would stay the course we could renew our power grid, become a clean energy manufacturing powerhouse that owns the entire chain, and develop our economy for the next century.
We could. But it will be costly in the short term, and doesn't create electable headlines.
I've been eyeing Spider-Man Remastered for awhile, but never pulled the trigger due to price and the amount of time I have. I'd love to explore that world though!
Thanks so much for doing this.
