Q: Html5 submit form button-send input to file? I have a multi-page website, I'm still new to programming but have learned quite a bit of HTML and CSS. My question is:
How can I have my submit form button take a users input-data, and send it to a .txt file on my computer while offline?
This is simply so I can test my form and be sure that it can SEND the input data. This form is a model application and includes text boxes, radio buttons, select lists, passwords, emails etc...
And for the moment I do not need salt-hashing or any security, simply for off-line form testing, thanks!
Edit: I do have a submit button properly set in, but it does not send the input data anywhere

A: If you are offline, then there is no way for your computer to receive data.
However, if your web site is on a web server out on the Internet, the data can be saved to a text file on the server, for access to later.
The form itself needs an action tag, which tells the form where the data should be sent for processing. It has a few important tags within it as well:
<form method="post" action="http://www.yoursite.com/script-to-process-submission.php">
    One: <input type='text' name='inputbox1'/>
    Two: <input type='text' name='inputbox2'/>
</form>

You place all your input boxes within the form tags. The method can be "get" or "post" which is the way in which the data is sent. A get method means that all the responses from the input boxes are sent in the url, separated by ampersands, like this:
http://www.yoursite.com/script-to-process-submission.php?inputbox1=what+the+user+entered&inputbox2=also+what+the+user+entered

The issue here is that a long form may not have all data submitted-- often servers limit the length of input that can be sent this way. A longer form is better with the "post" method.
Once the form is submitted, and the data has been sent to the server, you need a script set up in a server-side language like Perl or PHP. Here is an example in PHP:
<?php
$response = "";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){
    $response .= $key . " -> " . $value . "\n";
}
// now save to disk in a file called saved_response.txt
// the FILE_APPEND adds the form responses to the text file, and the LOCK_EX locks the file first
file_put_contents('saved_response.txt',$response,FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
exit;

If you preferred the get method, change $_POST above to $_GET.
IMPORTANT NOTE: there is no cleaning involved in the above code, and a malicious user could send bad data to your server, and cause harm. You should consider some sort of cleaning of the text which is submitted, such as:
$clean_value = preg_replace("/[^ 0-9a-zA-Z]/", "_", $value);

You would put this right before the $response.= line above. It's role is to keep only numbers, and lowercase/uppercase letters.
Save this php code as a plain text file 'script-to-process-submission.php', and try your form.

FDA grants EUA to LabCorp's SARS-CoV-2 and flu detection combo kit
The combo kit can simultaneously detect and differentiate the SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and influenza B viruses.
The Cobas Covid-19/Flu home collection kit uses nasal or nasopharyngeal swab samples. Credit: Labcorp.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted emergency use authorization (EUA) to the combined at-home collection test kit for Covid-19 and influenza A/B from life sciences company LabCorp.
The new kit is intended for individuals aged two years and above and utilises Roche Cobas SARS-CoV-2 & influenza A/B Test for use on the Cobas 6800/8800 Systems.
It is a multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay that can simultaneously detect and differentiate the SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and influenza B viruses.
The Cobas SARS-CoV-2 & influenza A/B Test uses nasal or nasopharyngeal swab samples, which can be collected from individuals with suspected respiratory infections.
It helps people to test for both flu and Covid-19 with the aim to prevent the risk of further spreading of the virus to others.
The kit uses a short nasal swab which makes it comfortable and easier for individuals to cmplete at-home sample collection.
Labcorp Diagnostics chief medical officer and president Brian Caveney said: "Our newest home collection kit makes it convenient for individuals, including children over the age of two, to take the test in the safety of their homes.
"In time for flu season, the single test helps doctors and individuals make more informed treatment decisions given that symptoms of Covid-19 and flu are similar."
The new kit will be available for free to individuals who meet clinical guidelines, which may include experiencing symptoms, being exposed to a Covid-19 patient or being recommended for testing by a healthcare provider.
The company noted that the Cobas SARS-CoV-2 & influenza A/B Test will become available from this month and can be ordered either through Pixel by Labcorp or from electronic medical record systems by physicians.

Q: Java: Am I Missing the Point of Threads? (Objects within Threads) I'm trying to learn threads in Java.  I've followed two different tutorials, but I feel like I'm not really getting the concept.  As I understand it, when you create threads, you use the Thread class, and then embedding your own object within the thread.  I can do that, but I can't figure out how to access the instance variables within the "embedded" object.
Suppose as a learning exercise, I wanted to create three threads which would go off and do work individually of one another.  I could define this object to "drive" the threads:
public class StoogeObject implements Runnable {

    String name;
    int data;

    public StoogeObject(String name, int data){
        this.name=name;
        this.data=data;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Thread "+this.name+" has this data: "+this.data);
        // Do useful work here
        System.out.println("Thread "+this.name+" is exiting...");
    }

    public String getName(){
        return this.name;
    }
}

Then, in a driver program, I would launch my threads:
public class driver {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Thread stooge1 = new Thread(new StoogeObject("Larry", 123));
        Thread stooge2 = new Thread(new StoogeObject("Curly", 456));
        Thread stooge3 = new Thread(new StoogeObject("Moe", 789));
        stooge1.start();
        stooge2.start();
        stooge3.start();
        if(stooge1.isAlive())
            System.out.println("From main():  "+stooge1.getName());
    }
}

Output is:
From main():  Thread-0
Thread Larry has this data: 123
Thread Curly has this data: 456
Thread Moe has this data: 789
Thread Larry is exiting...
Thread Curly is exiting...
Thread Moe is exiting...

I was surprised when the stooge1.getName() line in main() produced "Thread-0", not "Larry".  I was expecting the getName() method I wrote in stoogeObject.java to override and return the instance variable String name in this instance.  Instead, I'm getting the name of the Thread, not the StoogeObject.
So...  The stooge1 thread has a StoogeObject within it, but I don't know how to access its instance variables.  More significantly, this example makes me wonder if I'm missing the point of threads.  If I want my Larry, Curly, & Moe objects to go off and do productive work AND keep their own instance variables, is using threads the wrong way to go here?  Should I start over, making these objects into processes?

A: If you want to access the runnable object that you pass to the thread, you need to keep a reference to it.
Here is an example:
stoogeObject obj = new stoogeObject("Larry", 123);
Thread stooge1 = new Thread(obj);
stooge1.start();
System.out.println(obj.getName());

This will print Larry.
Keep in mind that if the name variable from the stoogeObject instance is changed during the thread's runtime, you'll have to wait for that thread to finish (or finish changing the variable) in order to get the correct value.
You can do that by using join().
stoogeObject obj = new stoogeObject("Larry", 123);
Thread stooge1 = new Thread(obj);
stooge1.start();
stooge1.join();
System.out.println(obj.getName());

Here the System.out.println(obj.getName()) statement is executed only after the thread is done.

A:
I can't figure out how to access the instance variables within the "embedded" object.

You access them in exactly the same way that you would access the instance variables of any other object.
The "embedded" object, FYI, is called the thread's target or the thread's delegate.
There is nothing special about the target of a Thread.  It's just an object.

I was surprised when the stooge1.getName() line in main() produced "Thread-0", not "Larry". I was expecting ... Instead, I'm getting the name of the Thread, not the StoogeObject.

That's because the Thread object and the StoogeObject are different objects.

this example makes me wonder if I'm missing the point of threads.

There are two different ways that threads can be used in a program.  The first (which is what people think of more often than not) is that threads are how a Java program can make use of more than one CPU if your platform has more than one CPU.  (Virtually all modern servers and workstations have more than one these days, and it's getting to where a lot of cell phones and tablets have more than one as well.)  If your platform has, say eight CPUs, then up to eight of your threads may be able to run simultaneously if that many of them are "ready to run."
The second way to use threads in a program is to wait for things.  For example, if your program is a server that has to waits for input from each of N clients, and respond to it; you can structure it as N threads that each just listen to and respond to one client.  That often makes the code easier to understand.  (Just like, it's easier to juggle one ball than it is to juggle N balls).

is using threads the wrong way to go here? Should I start over, making these objects into processes?

Threads can be much more tightly coupled than processes because the threads of a single program all share the same virtual address space (i.e., in a Java program, they all share the same heap).  Communication between threads usually is one or two orders of magnitude faster than communication between different processes on the same machine.
If you need fine-grained communication between them, then they definitely should be threads.  A good rule of thumb is that, an application should never spawn a new process unless there is a really good reason why it should not be just another thread.

A:
I was surprised when the stooge1.getName() line in main() produced "Thread-0", not "Larry". I was expecting the getName() method I wrote in stoogeObject.java to override and return the instance variable String name in this instance. Instead, I'm getting the name of the Thread, not the StoogeObject.

How is this surprising? You never set the thread's name, then you call stooge1.getName(), and stooge1 is the Thread, and you're getting precisely what you asked for: "the name of the Thread".
The only thing the Thread knows about the Runnable that you pass it is that it has a run() method, it doesn't know or care about any other things you've added to your Runnable implementation.
If you want to set the thread's name, either use the Thread constructor that takes a name:
Thread stooge1 = new Thread(new StoogeObject(...), "Thread's Name");

Or set its name later:
stooge1.setName("Thread's Name");

So... The stooge1 thread has a StoogeObject within it, but I don't know how to access its instance variables.

It's up to you to store and manage your StoogeObjects, and Titus' answer covers this nicely. I just wanted to add a bit on top of that to answer your thread name related question.
As a side note: Once you wrap your head around the fundamentals, check out the official high-level concurrency tutorial, particularly the section on "executors". The Java API provides a few really convenient high-level constructs for concurrency that you might find useful in certain situations.

There are several locations for the dispensary in Southern California, including San Diego and San Francisco.
The company is headquartered in Las Vegas but its shares trade on the CSE in the United States and the over-the-counter in the United States. Investing in these companies is risky, especially as federal laws prohibit marijuana use in the United States. A company that is listed on Planet 13's Canadian Stock Exchange is cross-listed on America's over-the-counter markets. Interested investors can purchase Planet 13 shares through an international broker. However, it is best to seek advice from a financial advisor when investing in any unregulated sector.

Q: How to implement the division of two relations in mapreduce? I want to implement the division of two relations in MapReduce. I have two relations: T(A,B,C) and U(B,C). I know that
for the relations R(A,B,D) and S(A,B). This is pretty much my scenario. I am not sure how I would go about implementing this in mapReduce. With my limited knowledge Im guessing there would be 3 map reduce jobs. I would assume the first round might be the (projection of B -C(T) x U) - T
Mapper 1 our input is either a tuple from T or U
If tuple t belongs to (a,b,c) from T then we have key: NULL and value ("T" a)
if tuple t belongs to (b,c) from U then we have key NULL and value (b,c "U")
With these values we can perform the cartesian product between ("T" a ) with the values (b,c "U") and emit the new key null and value (a,b,c)
Reducer 2
we remove from the new cartesian tuples any that are in the original table T and emit the tuples that are not contained in the original table.
I am confused about what I would do next. Whether it would be another mapper or could I use again a reducer for the next B -C projection? I'm not sure if I did the first round correctly. If anyone can tell me the steps how this would go preferably in pseudo-code that would me understand. Online I do not find any answers for this.


One academic challenge when home schooling is the limited pool of "peers", especially when it comes to peer feedback during formative assessment. I've been trying to implement high yield strategies like co-constructing criteria and offering descriptive feedback; we recently completed a longer piece of recount writing (read Alex's here, or Simon's here), and the boys each emailed their respective pieces to someone for online feedback before revising, editing and publishing them.
Now we are working on a new text form: The boys will prepare their first proper report of the year, in a poster format. This time, they'll each present their report to someone back home via Skype to get some feeback, again based on criteria we co-construct, then revise their report for a second audience. Whereas in a regular classroom, I would rely on the people already there in person (other students in the class or students from other classes, student teachers or support staff in the room, or other adults in the building), the people I recruit while away to collaborate via Skype could include friends from school at home in Canada, family friends or the boys' dad and/or grandparents.
By enlisting the help of people outside our little group here in the apartment to provide the boys with input and feedback, I endeavor to keep our home schooling circle from becoming too incestuous.

A teenage girl sets out on a cross country trip to visit her uncle in the Midwest, discovering that she has what it takes to be a true competitor after she's tricked into participating in a local horse race.
All Lindsey knows about her Uncle Jack is that he lives on a ranch, and he's haunted by a past tragedy he never speaks of. Upon arriving at the ranch, Lindsey reconnects with her uncle and falls for handsome ranch hand Logan.
But her greatest challenge is yet to come, because despite the fact that Lindsey has virtually no riding experience, she's hoodwinked into racing spoiled rotten Abigail at the upcoming county fair. Sometimes the trips we least want to take are the ones that can teach us the most about who we really are.

Interactive Time Series: What's Really Warming the World?
Climate science at a glance
Humans are the primary external influence on air temperature.
Warmer air can hold more water increasing the risk of extreme precipitation events.
Global warming affects the interaction between the air and ocean
The air and ocean are two major vessels of heat energy and moisture in the climate system. The exchange of heat and moisture between the air and the ocean affects circulation patterns that determine the weather we experience.
The ocean is storing 93 percent of the extra heat due to human-caused global warming, which has many consequences on the climate system as a whole.[1] One of these consequences has to do with the exchange of heat and water between the ocean and the atmosphere.
As sea surface temperatures warm, the hydrological cycle intensifies and additional heat is available for pick-up by air masses passing over the ocean and onto land. The additional heat in air masses can then affect extreme weather events.
Clausius-Clapeyron: the capacity of the air to hold moisture increases with temperature
As the temperature of the air increases, its water-holding capacity also increases by about 7 percent per °C of warming globally, according to the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship.[1] Consequently, precipitation in the form of rain and snowfall also increases with air temperature.
Changes in extreme precipitation from fully saturated air masses have been postulated to occur at the Clausius-Clapeyron rate, or even higher if local moisture convergence takes place, but changes in precipitation over the Earth's surface are typically smaller (approximately 2 to 3 percent per °C of warming[2]) than the Clausisus-Clapeyron rate, due to a difference in behavior over land and ocean.[3]
Global air mass temperature trends and climate change
Global annually averaged surface air temperature has increased by about 1.8°F (1.0°C) over the last 115 years (1901–2016).[4]
Annual average near-surface air temperatures across Alaska and the Arctic have increased over the last 50 years at a rate more than twice as fast as the global average temperature.[4][5]
Warm and moist air are necessary for providing the energy to storms, and there is evidence for a global increase in severe thunderstorm conditions.[6]
The troposphere — the lowest region of the atmosphere — has warmed and the stratosphere — the second major atmospheric layer above the troposphere — cooled since 1958. Uncertainty regarding atmospheric temperature change grows with height and is much greater outside the better-sampled Northern Hemisphere extra-tropics, where warming is of the order 0.1°C per decade.[1]
Global studies attribute air mass temperature increases to climate change
(Wehner et al. 2018): The shift in the distribution of surface air temperature since the mid 20th century has been profound. Temperatures that were rare prior to the 1980's now occur with regularity.[7]
(Santer et al. 2012) find that over the past century, humans are the primary external influence on atmospheric temperature.[8]
(Balan et al. 2012) find that clear global‐scale and regional‐scale changes due to human influence are expected to have occurred over both land and ocean, which includes moistening over northern high latitude land and ocean throughout all seasons and over the northern subtropical oceans during boreal winter.[9]

The Station is a weekly newsletter dedicated to all things transportation. Sign up here — just click The Station — to receive it every Saturday in your inbox.
Hi and welcome back to The Station. I'm your host Kirsten Korosec, senior transportation reporter at TechCrunch. If you're interested in all the future and present ways people and packages move from point A to point B, you're in the right place.
It felt like Tesla dominated the news cycle once again this week. (Checks list of published articles -- yep, it sure did.) There was other mobility news though, including layoffs at self-driving company Cruise and new rules that Uber is rolling out Monday that will change the ride-hailing experience for the foreseeable future.
Reach out and email me at kirsten.korosec@techcrunch.com to share thoughts, criticisms, opinions or tips. You can also send a direct message to me at Twitter — @kirstenkorosec.
Shall we get down to it? Vamos.
Micromobbin'
the station scooter1a
The micromobbin' space got more crowded this week as Bolt announced it would launch an electric scooter service in more than 45 cities this summer. Bolt, a big competitor to Uber in Europe and Africa, has raised more than $200 million from investors like Daimler and Didi Chuxing.
Meanwhile, Bird, Lime, Voi and Tier are reportedly in talks with local authorities in the U.K. to launch electric scooter trials as early as next month. The U.K. originally planned to start allowing companies to operate next year, but that timeline has been pushed up amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Over in the land of e-bikes, the U.S. National Park Service has proposed revisions to rules regarding e-bike use on federal lands. The proposal is open for public comment until June 8, 2020.
The proposed regulations, which you should check out here, would exclude e-bikes from the definition of motor vehicle. Park superintendents would have the authority to open up paths and roads designated for bicycles to e-bikes.
However, there are conditions. Ultimately, the authority will rest with that particular superintendent, which means this is not an e-bike free-for-all in national parks. E-bike riders will have to pedal — no throttle only — in non-motorized areas and they would still be prohibited in designated wilderness areas.
PeopleForBikes, a nonprofit organization and bicycle advocacy group, has loads more information on the proposed rulemaking.
Speaking of e-bikes, these modes of transportation are poised to be big winners this year. We've highlighted some of the companies that have already seen gains since the COVID-19 pandemic. This week, a pair of stories provide some insight into this trend. Bloomberg focused on Specialized Bike Components Inc and The Verge did a deep dive into the broader e-bikes industry. One snippet from The Verge article gives you some idea of how things are shaping up for e-bike companies: Seattle-based Rad Power Bikes said its sales in April increased a whopping 297% year over year; its sales to business customers in the delivery sector also rose 191% from March to April this year.
It's not e-bike boom times for everyone though. The Verge reported that GM killed off its first electric bike called ARIV.

Deals — they are slim, but they're still happenin'.
It seems like just yesterday that Waymo announced it had raised $2.25 billion — its first external investment — in a round led by Silver Lake, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Mubadala Investment Company. Magna, Andreessen Horowitz and AutoNation and its parent company Alphabet also participated.
But what's this? A mere two months later Waymo is back. The autonomous vehicle company said it has added another $750 million to the round, bringing the total size of the financing to $3 billion. The extension comes from new investors, including those managed by T. Rowe Price, Perry Creek Capital, Fidelity Management and Research Company and others. Side note: T. Rowe Price is also a major backer of rival Cruise.
Other deals:
Uber approached Grubhub in February with an all-stock takeover offer and the companies have been in talks since then, according to the WSJ, which broke the story. Grubhub proposed Uber pay 2.15% of its shares for each Grubhub share. Uber didn't bite and now discussions are aimed at a lower price.
TechCrunch's Alex Wilhelm unpacks the deal in terms of its cost and explains why Uber has to pay in stock, how large a combined Uber Eats/Grubhub entity would be compared to its competition and why adjusted EBITDA helps us understand how this acquisition could give Uber's bottom line a shot in the arm.
A Grubhub-Uber tie-up would remake the food delivery landscape
Intel announced its latest tranche of deals: $132 million invested in 11 startups. The deals speak to some of the company's most strategic priorities currently and covers artificial intelligence, autonomous computing and chip design.
DispatchTrack, which created a platform for last-mile deliveries to help companies mimic Amazon-like experiences by planning and tracking deliveries more easily, has closed a $144 million investment from a single investor. This is the company's first-ever funding after scaling up as a bootstrapped startup to support more than 60 million deliveries per year.
VanMoof, the Dutch e-bike startup that launched in 2009, raised $13.5 million from London VC Balderton Capital and SINBON Electronics, the Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer that is its bike assembly partner.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it's how complex and sensitive our supply chain is. Startups going after this sector, whether it's in subcategories like freight, autonomous robots or logistics, might find a more welcoming investor community.
I'll be rounding up news and tips in this category when there is news to share. This week, there was.
The United States Postal Service pushed back the deadline for official bids to make its next-generation mail truck due to COVID-19, Trucks.com reported.
Curri, an on-demand construction materials delivery service co-founded by Matt Lafferty and Brian Gonzalez, has started to offer its services in all 50 states. The company, which graduated from Y Combinator's demo day about a year ago, says its service saves customers roughly half the cost of deploying an in-house fleet for delivery.
Freight mobility company Einride struck a partnership with Oatly to help the plant-based oat drink company transition to electric delivery trucks. The partnership will kick off in the fourth quarter of 2020 in Sweden, where both companies are based.
Layoffs and people news

Just when I think layoffs are slowing, another round of announcements or tips about cuts head my way. Amid the furloughs and layoffs, there has also been some executive reshuffling.
A few layoffs and executive moves stood out this week, namely cuts at Cruise and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's decision to put the head of paint operations in charge of all production at the company's factory in Fremont, California.
Let's dig in.
On the same day that Musk defied local regulations and said he would reopen Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, the CEO put a new person in charge of production.
Musk named Richard Miller, who was director of paint operations at Tesla, to head production at the factory, according to an internal email sent to employees and viewed by TechCrunch. It appears that Miller replaces Jatinder Dhillon, who was the company's manufacturing director. CNBC had reported in March that Dhillon had left the company, although his LinkedIn profile still shows he is at the company and in the same role.
The email reads, "Due to excellent performance as head of paint operations in Fremont, Richard Miller is hereby promoted to overall head of Fremont Production. Congratulations!"
The timing of this, and who he picked, matters here and suggests that the reopening is more chaotic and disorganized than Musk or Tesla would want folks to believe.
Meanwhile, I got my hands on the memo sent by Cruise CEO Dan Ammann that informed staff of cuts and realignment of resources. (Bloomberg was the first to report the cuts.)
The company said it's cutting nearly 8% of its more than 1,800-member workforce to reduce costs. The layoffs will affect employees in Cruise's product, marketing and rideshare business units, according to the memo.
The official statement might rub those who were let go the wrong way. It reads: "In this time of great change, we're fortunate to have a crystal clear mission and billions in the bank. The actions we took today reflect us doubling down on our engineering work and engineering talent."
The cuts are notable. But so is the decision by the company to close its Pasadena office, which housed its lidar team. Cruise acquired a lidar startup based in Pasadena called Strobe in 2017. According to the memo and one source, the lidar team is being folded into its San Francisco operations.
Other moves:
Zomato, an India-headquartered food delivery startup, cut 13% of its workforce and reduced pay for remaining employees. The 11-year-old firm didn't disclose the exact number of people it was letting go, but the number is above 500.
Fair, the car subscription startup backed by hundreds of millions of dollars from SoftBank and others, has a new CEO. The company announced that Bradley Stewart, who had been CEO of aviation startup XOJet from 2013 to 2018 (when it was acquired by Vista Global), will now lead the company. Stewart confirmed in an interview that Fair is working on raising another round of funding that will include both equity and debt to push ahead on its business now focused squarely on car subscriptions for consumers.

Harley Davidson Livewire static 1

As Harley-Davidson rounds year one on its electric debut, we're still riding in the fog on how to evaluate the company's EV pivot, according to TechCrunch reporter Jake Bright.
The American symbol of gas, chrome and steel released its first production electric motorcycle, the LiveWire, in September 2019, but still hasn't offered sales data. Instead of posting a separate line for EV purchases in its 2019 and 2020 financial reporting, Harley folded LiveWire units sold into its "Cruiser" sales stats, which include some 16 different motorcycle models.
HD's electric debut received mostly positive reviews from motorcycle stalwarts, but without sales data it's difficult to evaluate the company's shift to electric.
The LiveWire is supposed to lead a future line-up of EVs planned by Harley-Davidson -- spanning motorcycles, bicycles and scooters.
The company saw a decline in sales and continued losses in its first quarter financials, but "remains committed to advancing our efforts in electric," HD's new CEO, Jochen Zeitz, said.
Another component to grading Harley-Davidson's foray into electric is seeing the follow-on products to the $29K LiveWire, which was priced too high for the millennial market.
"The company needs to release EV-specific sales data and tell us what's next in its voltage-powered lineup," Bright wrote in his feature on Harley-Davidson's electric ambitions and the e-motorcycle market.
Notable reads and other tidbits
Here's some other stuff that got my attention.
Of course, I'll kick it off this must-read list with a survey we conducted with seven venture capitalists, including Ernestine Fu of Alsop Louie Partners, Stonly Baptiste & Shaun Abrahamson from Urban.us, Rob Coneybeer with Shasta Ventures, Shahin Farshchi of Lux Capital, Kate Schox with Trucks VC and Jeff Peters from Autotech Ventures.
We asked these VCs their thoughts and advice for mobility startups in this COVDI-19 era.
7 top mobility VCs discuss COVID-19 strategies and trends
New York City celebrated its longest stretch of days without a pedestrian death in decades, The Hill reported.
Greentech Media interviewed McDonald's former global product director, James Wehner, about his plans to shake up EV charging in his new role as chief technology officer at Engenie, the U.K.-based charging specialist.
Self-driving vehicle startup Aurora released a blog post explaining its process for rapidly converting on-road events into virtual tests.
Tesla plans to unveil new advanced battery technology it has developed that can produce power sources for its EVs that last for "millions of miles" and can be produced at low costs, Reuters reported.
Argo AI, the autonomous vehicle technology startup backed by Ford and Volkswagen, has developed a return-to-the road playbook. The guide lays out a detailed plan on how it will resume AV testing while keeping its employees safe.


In the middle of Omaha, in the middle of a side street, sits a garage. It looks like many other garages, but inside lies the some of the crown jewels of muscle cars.
The teenaged Fink blew up, and consequently repaired, the engine, which lead to a lifetime in the auto industry.
That Firebird also got Fink into collecting, His current array includes 54 cars, and he plans to go to 100 vehicles.
Other cars that Fink says are favorites: "The two Superbirds are the ones that turn the most heads," he says, referring to his 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird and his 1970 440 Six-Pack Superbird.
The Ford GT 500 he also claims to be his best investment, but others are certainly not stagnant. The collection includes an original "brochure car," a Dodge XP Charger Hemi. It was never intended to be sold to the public.
Another number one, as in first off the assembly line, is the 1969 Chevelle from Nickey Chevy in Chicago, an auto dealer that is still in business today. That piece was bought from a private collector who happened to call him.
"He's like the Warren Buffet of cars," says his friend Tim Harrison, the 40-year-old owner of Harrison Financial Services. Harrison himself doesn't collect cars, but knows Fink through a forum group and has traveled with him to that Shangri-La of car collecting, the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction.
While Fink collects often, he never sells his vehicles…make that almost never.
Most of these cars are not driven, with good reason. Vehicles such as his 1989 Indy Pace Car. It's an anniversary Trans Am version, and documented to have the lowest miles of any around.
Whether turning wrenches or turning heads, one thing is for certain. Fink's collection is impressive.


While thinking about mono printing for the current Craft Stamper challenge, I had an idea that might get me round my patterned paper problem - what happens if I incorporate a focal point on the print itself by using masks, I wondered?
This is what happened. I didn't get my masks quite right and ended up adding the small heart as a separate layer cut from another print but it basically worked!
I brayered red paint onto the acrylic block and pressed a background stamp into it then lifted a print. Then I did a layer of burnt umber and burnt sienna textured with plastic canvas and placed my two heart masks on there before pulling the print (I used acetate to cut my masks as it's a bit easier to handle than damp paper!).
Here's where I slipped up - for the final layer (which is white with a smidge of gold, textured with a very open weave, cheesecloth type fabric) I wanted to subdue the background heart by overprinting and leave the foreground one more vivid but I used the wrong mask so the big heart overlapped the small one! To rescue it, I did a second print with the the red paint and stamp (no layering this time) and die cut the smaller heart from that.
The flourish in the corners is stamped with gold ink and shows up differently at different angles (which makes it hard to photograph, sorry!). It's finished with a stamped and heat embossed sentiment, charcoal pencil drop shadows for both hearts and the small heart stuck down with some Pinflair glue gel for a little height.
There's still time to play along in the Craft Stamper challenge to use your acrylic block for some mono printing - you'll find all the details here and we'd love to see you!
I'm joining in with the Waltzingmouse Stamps Pajama Party for the first time - I finally managed to get things in order to get something made on the right day!
Challenge 1 is "To Die For" - Waltzingmouse has recently added their own Cutting Edge dies alongside the stamps and Claire's challenged us to use them in our creations.
I ended up doing something out of my comfort zone and probably not "typical" of WMS style! I actually intended to make something Christmassy with the lovely Bright Season Lantern die but of course I got distracted along the way - when cutting the lantern from kraft cardstock to use as a template, I noticed the "waste" from the centre of the lantern looked like an elegant vase or plant pot and that set me off in a totally different direction!
I've used a piece of paper that had been used to clean a painty brayer as my background with just a little doodling for a border and some splodgy white dots added through a stencil with a Posca pen (smeared while still wet) at top left.
I cut the top off a second "pot" with some pinking shears and added that as an extra detail, inking all the edges for a bit of depth. The "flower" is a heart cut with the smallest die from the "My Heart" set and coloured with Copic markers. I stamped leaves from Funky Flowers with acrylic paint for a splodgy look, cut them out and added them and a wire stem. Pot, heart and leaves are all stuck on with Pinflair glue gel for some dimension.
The sentiment is all from the Say It Loud set, snipped into individual words and finished with a little more doodling.
If you fancy playing along, you can upload entries for the Pajama Party until midnight tonight and there's a sketch challenge to play with for the rest of the week too - details here.
The Craft Stamper blog challenge has gone monthly so that means it's time for a new one!
This time we're using an acrylic block for mono printing (effectively using the block like a Gelli plate). I've resisted the lure of the Gelli, mostly because I suspected I'd make prints I liked and then my PPP (patterned paper problem) would kick in and I'd have no idea what to do with them.
When Trish told us what this month's challenge would be, I decided I'd have a go. Not sure if I set myself up for it but I proved myself right - made prints I liked and then couldn't use them! This is the attempt I'm happiest with.
I used Americana craft acrylic paints on the biggest acrylic block I own. If I remember rightly I did a layer of gold with plastic canvas pressed into it and lifted before taking a print, a layer of burnt umber and black with star masks scattered over and finally a layer of white with a piece of lace pressed in and lifted before taking the print (you can see the large diamond design of the lace as well as the overall texture if you let your eyes relax a bit!).
I've stamped a sentiment in one of the larger stars, some astronomy charts towards the bottom and then stamped and cut out a pointy finger to highlight the sentiment. The gold stars are punched from tomato paste tube metal (with the smaller punch I used when I made masks for the printed layer). A wee snippet of film strip ribbon seemed to tie it all together.
Not very typical for me but it was fun to get painty for a change! It may not be the perfect mono printing surface but the acrylic block made a good play surface if you're anything like me and just fancy a dabble!
As ever, there's the chance of a prize (lovely limited edition paints from PaperArtsy this time!) and of having your card in print in the magazine if you're the winner - we'd love to have you play along! All the details, including the deadline, can be found here.

Launching objects is an important part of many robotics challenges. Shooters are mechanisms designed to do this quickly and efficiently. In this workshop, students will build a flywheel shooter, program it, and evaluate its performance. The shooter will be interfaced with a basic intake, and students will get to pilot a complete robot capable of acquiring and shooting game pieces.


For many people, jam making is as much a passion as it is a hobby. This is a great way to preserve seasonal fruit and enjoy it for the whole year, while some avid jam-makers simply enjoy gifting their decorated jars as thoughtful presents.
There are certainly a number of big advantages when you compare homemade jams with their equivalent shop-bought commercial versions. When you make it yourself, you know exactly what you are putting in the jar and how pure your ingredients are to start with - no unknown additives, artificial colours, preservatives or possible traces of pesticides.
It is fair to say that hand-made jams tend to use higher quality ingredients, although when made on a fairly large scale, this can actually still prove to be quite economical. If you are gathering fruit (or vegetables) from your own garden or a hedgerow, then the costs are further reduced to just a little extra time.
The process of preserving fruit in this way dates back many centuries and historians widely believe that the history of jam making in Europe can be traced all the way back to the latter part of the Middle Ages, namely the 16th century.
Fruit preserves were initially considered to be something of a luxury and savoured by the wealthy, due to the high price of sugar. In Paris, King Louis XIV is known to have had a particularly sweet tooth and at the end of his royal feasts in the Palace of Versailles, jams made with fruit from his ornate gardens were regularly served up on elaborate silver platters.
There are a number of old-fashioned recipes that show the evolution of jam over the years, with not only the proportions of fruit and sugar changing, but also the actual fruit itself. Staple ingredients of early British jams during the Tudor period were common medlar fruit (similar to apples in flavour) and quince.
Popular recipes from the Victorian period often incorporated more exotic and highly prized fruit, such as apricots, bananas, lemons, melons, pineapples, pomegranates, oranges and tangerines, as well as more widely available blackberries, damsons, elderberries, gooseberries, prunes, raspberries, rhubarb, rowan berries (mountain ash) and strawberries.
Basically nothing more than a simple way to preserve fruit, jam is best made by using only tried and tested recipes, unless you enjoy experimenting with flavours. By boiling the fruit, a natural soluble, somewhat gelatinous setting agent known as 'pectin' is released, together with natural acids.
When the fruit is boiled with sugar for a fixed period of time and finally reaches 'setting point' (104°C / 220°F), a 'jam' mixture is created that will set once cooled down. Whilst a commercial version of pectin is available, its inclusion is not usually necessary if you follow a recipe carefully and do not rush the whole process. However, some particularly watery and low-pectin fruits such as rhubarb and pears may benefit from the addition of some extra pectin (e.g. from apples, currants, damsons, grapes, plums and redcurrants), and so this may be as simple as mixing in a different type of fruit.
We have compiled around 150 different recipes for jams, savoury jams (chutneys), curds, marmalades, preserves and jellies, ready to assist and inspire you in your fruity culinary endeavours.

Remedial learning | Generation Unlimited Our time, our turn, our future.
A second chance at education for children in crisis.
How can new breakthroughs in personalized technology-supported learning (i.e. artificial intelligence) be deployed to support remedial education for young people whose education has been disrupted by conflict, shock or migration?
There are 263 million school-aged children and young people out of school, 53 per cent are upper-secondary school age. In conflict or disaster-stricken countries, 3 in 10 young people are illiterate. This figure is triple the global rate. The impact of a disruption in education on youngpeople's development can have permanent effects.
Young people who return to education are likely to face gaps in their learning, and teachers are often unable to accurately address those gaps on a personalized level. Weak learning outcomes for these students are often due to failure or inability to teach at the right level. This, in turn, demotivates those who fall behind their peers and can result in drop-outs.
Remedial learning is usually either not readily available or is too costly. Moreover, many of the existing programmes often focus on the provision of hardware devices to educational facilities, without ensuring that teachers and students themselves fully utilize those tools.
Technological breakthroughs in personalized learning can quickly identify educational gaps and empower teachers to better tailor the content and intensity of study to students' needs, abilities and goals.
Technology-enabled personalized learning can also discover students' knowledge structure, education level and cognitive style, and it can provide precise information that helps clarify misconceptions and optimize their progress.
These technologies have yet to be tested with refugee populations or young people whose education has been disrupted by conflict, shocks or migration. These young people are not only high in numbers, but are also at very high risk of dropping out. Combining technology-enabled remedial education with in-person coaching and guidance from teachers could greatly improve the learning outcomes of these young people.

Jessica Ennis-Hill, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Brianne Theisen-Eaton have been announced for the Gotzis Hypo Meeting taking place from May 28-29.
The heptathlon title has been shared between the three athletes over the past six editions of the event – with Olympic and world champion Ennis-Hill winning in 2010, 2011 and 2012, European indoor pentathlon winner Johnson-Thompson taking the 2014 title and world pentathlon champion Theisen-Eaton claiming victory in 2013 and 2015 – but this will be the first time that they have all contested the same competition.
Morgan Lake will also be competing in Gotzis as the 18-year-old makes her third appearance at the event.
This year's Hypo Meeting holds extra importance for British athletes as it acts as the combined events Olympic trial. A maximum of two male and two female athletes who finish in the top 16 in Gotzis will be automatically nominated for decathlon or heptathlon selection, provided they have also achieved the qualification mark of 8100 points or 6200 points respectively.
The IAAF announced that Latvia's world bronze medallist Laura Ikauniece-Admidina is also due to compete in Gotzis, while Canada's world silver medallist Damian Warner and Germany's world bronze medallist Rico Freimuth are set to contest the decathlon.


A controversial gun bill that would lessen the penalties for permit-less carry in Tennessee passed in the state House 72-2 on Tuesday.
A controversial gun bill that would lessen the penalties for permit-less carry in Tennessee passed in the state House of Representatives 72-20 on Monday, after opposition from Democrats on the chamber floor and disapproval from mothers, teachers, a sheriff's association and the governor's office.
"In today's society, where we are looking for society to make children safer, this bill is setting a poor example that this state is showing the nation," said Rep. Bo Mitchell, D- Nashville.
On the opposite side of the debate, House Majority Leader Glen Casada, R-Franklin, argued, that the country has "a heart problem," not a gun problem.
Current law makes it a Class C misdemeanor to carry a handgun without a permit. Violators can be fined up to $500 and face possible imprisonment.
But the amended bill, sponsored by Rep. Micah Van Huss, R-Jonesborough, would only fine violators $250 on the first offense. A second amendment will allow officers to confiscate the ammunition of an offender, but not necessarily take the gun.
Opponents have argued such reduced penalties could encourage permit-less carry across the state and reduce the discretion of officers to confiscate weapons as a way to defuse a situation.
Supporters have focused on situations where law enforcement find individuals carrying a weapon by accident or when no other crime is being committed.
Most of the discussion in the House chamber came from Democrats. House Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh, D-Ripley, and Mitchell questioned why the bill would reduce penalties for offenders carrying guns illegally, especially given the current national concerns about gun safety.
And Rep. Antonio Parkinson, D-Parkinson, asked amendment sponsor Rep. Bill Dunn-R-Knoxville, if a police officer would give a gang member back a gun after the gang member was found carrying illegally.
Dunn said his amendment only pertained to the ammunition.
But Bill sponsor Van Huss said most of the examples Democrats mentioned would not pertain because of previously passed laws, such as one that allows people in Tennessee to carry in cars without a permit.
"This will reduce one arrest per year," he said.
The bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee in the Senate.
