Man who disconnects recording lights in #Meta glasses:

In other words: Formula E can use 150% of its #battery capacity during a race::
"One of the things I love about Formula E is that we start with roughly 50% of the energy actually required to complete the race. Everything else comes through regenerative braking and the energy-management strategy we deploy. That’s something you could never do with a combustion engine.” #EV

Traffic #trend for the #internet:
"In five years, non-human traffic will be as much as 1,000 times as much as human traffic. In other words, humans will be a rounding error on the internet, not because human traffic goes down, but that’s just how fast we’re seeing non-human traffic grow.

I was leaving a town that didn’t have a working high-speed charger when a petrol station that had shiny new metal totem poles next to the road caught my eye. And these chargers were working. It wasn’t the only time we spotted unmapped power sources, but some of them were so new they were not even connected to the grid yet. #EV #charging #Europe #roadtrip

A vision for #AI disruption in the app market:
