[...] instead of coming under heavy government scrutiny before being sold to the public, Tesla can mass-produce cars that automatically adjust speed with the flow of traffic, keep their lane and slam the brakes in an emergency.

Over the centuries, through genetic and cultural adaptation, humans and a wild bird species have learned to work together with a simple sound: "Brrr-hm." When human honey-hunters make that call, the bird called the honeyguide does its namesake job with incredible accuracy, leading people to hidden bees' nests. When biologists compared the "brrr-hm" sound to other sounds, the traditional sound sent the honeyguides to hidden bees nest three times more often than the control sounds, according to a study in the journal Science Thursday.

(AP) — The mile-long town green here seems little changed from the days when French troops camped on it during the Revolutionary War. The green is a center of community life for Lebanon, but the town doesn't actually own it, according to records that include a court document dating to 1705. The arrangement has helped keep away the kind of development that has swallowed up town greens around New England, but in Lebanon the lack of a deed for the town is creating an issue for officials hoping to expand the local library.

Have you ever seen something in the shadows, some ominous outline that made you uneasy, and then watched it vanish when you turned on the lights? “Lights Out” takes that common source of unease and crafts a smart little horror movie around it, one that neither goes for cheap effects nor overstays its welcome. The gimmick here is that there is a monster of some kind — an evil spirit, a psychological emanation, something bad for sure — that only has power in darkness. “Lights Out” presents actual characters that are interesting...

Airbnb has a longstanding policy prohibiting discrimination, but back in January, a study by researchers from the Harvard Business School found that... Читать дальше...

Swofford said league schools unanimously extended a grant-of-rights provision that gives the ACC control of media rights — and more importantly, the money that comes with them — for any school that choses to leave the conference for the duration of the ESPN deal. In a hypothetical case, Jordan said, the ACC would keep the revenue for a team's home football game as the rights holder even if that team was playing in another league, then divide the departed school's amount among the remaining ACC schools.
