  • Waymo has officially launched in commercial self-driving service in Phoenix.
  • The service is called “Waymo One.”
  • It will be opening initially just to early riders who have been testing the service.
  • Waymo drivers will continue to supervise the Chrysler Pacifica minivans as Waymo One is rolled out.

Waymo is finally hitting the road for real.

After racking up 10 million driverless miles in a decade of history, Alphabet’s autonomous technology rolled out commercially in Phoenix on Wednesday.

]]> https://briefnews.eu/waymo-has-launched-its-commercial-self-driving-service-in-phoenix-and-its-called-waymo-one-googl/feed/ 0 The first 8K satellite TV broadcasts launched today in Japan https://briefnews.eu/the-first-8k-satellite-tv-broadcasts-launched-today-in-japan/ https://briefnews.eu/the-first-8k-satellite-tv-broadcasts-launched-today-in-japan/#respond Sat, 01 Dec 2018 14:05:24 +0000 http://briefnews.eu/the-first-8k-satellite-tv-broadcasts-launched-today-in-japan/

As scheduled, at 10 AM local time on December 1st Japanese TV networks began publicly broadcasting 4K and 8K channels via satellite. Even after a couple of years of testing, NHK is currently the only one pushing content at 8K with 22.2 channel sound. The first movie listed in its TV guide is 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the BBC reports that Warner Bros. rescanned the film’s original 70mm negatives specifically for this broadcast.

It’s still early days of course, since almost no one has an 8K display, and most of the people who do need a special receiver and antenna just to pick up the signal. Engadget Japan reported that Sharp began selling its first Super Hi-Vision-ready TVs with a built-in tuner last month for around $ 6,600. Also, HDMI 2.1 hasn’t been implemented in any of these displays yet, so just getting the signal from box to TV requires plugging in four HDMI cables.

We’ve only seen the beginning of a push for 8K this year, but now that there’s actually a channel on the air somewhere it seems likely that things will ramp up next month at CES 2019.

  • Everlane’s new line, the ReNew Collection, is outerwear that’s made with recycled plastic bottles as an eco-friendly alternative.
  • It’s part of the company’s ambitious 2021 goals to eliminate all virgin plastics from its supply chain.
  • We tested a reversible puffer, parka, and fleece from the line to give you an idea of what they’re like in person.
  • Everlane is one of multiple companies using recycled water bottles as an eco-friendly material. 

On October 24, 2018, cult-favorite startup Everlane has announced ambitious environmental goals and a new collection built to spearhead the company-wide shift. 

The ReNew Collection is a line of outerwear (fleeces, parkas, puffers, and sweaters) made out of recycled water bottles. Altogether, the collection is “renewing” a whopping 3 million of them. We tested out some of the new products to give you a sense of what they’re like in real life, and you can find our thoughts below before shopping. 

Everlane’s logic is simple. We’ve created eight billion pounds of a toxic material that stays on the planet forever — so why don’t we stop making more, and reuse what’s already in our backyards?

ReNew will not be a shock to Everlane shoppers. The startup has built its reputation and success on its transparency — integrating video footage of its factories, hosting Transparency Tuesday Q & As on Instagram once a week, offering pricing breakdowns on product pages, instituting “Choose What You Pay” sales, and debuting a sustainable denim collection made in the “world’s cleanest denim factory.” 

Using recycled materials — especially water bottles — is not a new endeavor. Patagonia has been making recycled polyester from plastic soda bottles since 1993. Labels like Reformation use mostly deadstock fabrics and repurposed vintage clothing. Girlfriend Collective makes chic, affordable activewear from recycled water bottles and fishing nets. Outdoors gear startup Cotopaxi creates limited edition collections from its leftover fabrics. The list goes on. 

However, recycling is still in the vast minority of retail companies, and the industry itself is one of the worst for the environment. Even post-production, only about 15.3% of all textiles are recycled according to the EPA (2015 estimates). 

We aren’t doing any better where plastics are concerned. In just 60 years, we’ve created eight billion tons of the material. It’s so inseparable to our lives that plastic has even started showing up in human feces (that’s right, you may be unintentionally eating it). Yet companies are using more virgin plastic today than ever before, and some of the most polluting industrial sectors include packaging (149 million tons per year), textiles (59 million tons), and consumer or institutional products like pens, gum, and keyboards (42 million tons).

ReNew is the first act of a more ambitious, lengthier strategy. By 2021, Everlane will eliminate all virgin plastic from their supply chain. Smaller steps will be implemented much sooner, like reducing single-use plastic in offices and stores by 50% (March 2019), use renewed alternatives to polyester in production (2018), and starting to ship orders in 100% post-consumer recycled poly bags (2019). The startup is also forming an internal sustainability committee to educate their team on waste reduction and conduct progress audits to see how well waste diversion is going. By the time 2021 rolls around, the company plans to have redeveloped all existing yarns, fabrics, and raw materials containing virgin plastic with renewed equivalents. 

Everlane makes great clothes; it’s why people buy them. It helps that they also try to make them in a better, more honest way than a lot of the other options people have. ReNew is no different — the outerwear is comfortable, stylish, made to last, and moderately priced. It has helpful upgrades, comes in cool colors, and feels good to wear. The fact that it’s ushering in a much-needed commitment to better, smarter supply chains is just an added incentive.

We tried a few standout pieces from the Everlane ReNew Collection. Here’s what we thought:

The ReNew Lightweight Hooded Puffer

Everlane

Men’s Puffer, $ 98

For the past 10 years, my go-to winter coat has been a bulky (but warm) peacoat. I was recently able to try Everlane’s ReNew puffer, and it’s the winter essential I didn’t realize I needed. The first thing I noticed when I put the jacket on was its light weight. How could something that’s supposed to keep me warm in the cold feel this light? I didn’t have to wonder long — I wore the jacket outside and immediately appreciated its insulation. For the past two weeks the coat kept wind, rain, and general cold weather from making me chilly. In fact, I actually felt warmer than I did with my peacoat on. The jacket’s extra features, like being reversible and made from recycled bottles, are just icing on the cake. — Brandt Ranj, Insider Picks associate editor

The ReNew Oversized Parka

Everlane

Women’s Oversized Parka, $ 165

I have to admit that Everlane would not be the first place I’d go to shop for winter gear — that honor usually goes to outdoor brands that specialize in weather-proofing. That’s why I was especially impressed with the ReNew Oversized Parka. This slightly puffy parka is super warm and cozy, with all the right features to protect you on one of those days when it seems like the wind can penetrate right into your bones. It has deep pockets (with both top and side openings) to stuff your hands into, a drawstring hood, and both a zipper and buttons to block out the elements.

The fact that the water-resistant shell and insulation are both made from recycled materials makes this parka all the more impressive. If you can buy clothing that’s better for the environment without sacrificing performance, why wouldn’t you go for it? Given the choice between Everlane’s parka and another one of comparable price, I would surely go for Everlane.

I recommend sizing down for a closer fit. I’m normally a medium, but a small fit perfectly, with enough room to wear a form-fitting long-sleeved shirt or a thin sweater underneath. — Connie Chen, Insider Picks reporter

The ReNew Fleece Half-Zip

Everlane

Women’s Half-Zip Fleece, $ 65

Everlane’s ReNew Half-Zip Fleece is a great cold weather essential — surprisingly warm, relatively inexpensive and compact, and cozy to wear. It’s slightly rougher to the touch than I expected, which usually coincides with better experiences wearing it in damp or drizzly weather, and the ribbed cuffs and drawstring waist keep the cold out. I got it in this earthy, autumnal “brick” color and love how vivid it is in person. — Mara Leighton, Insider Picks reporter

Most of the population of Lisbon was in church when the first quake hit. It was the morning of All Saints Day, 1755, and this was the most prominent city in one of the world’s most powerful countries. None of that mattered, of course, when the shaking started.

The Lisbon quake is still a defining moment in the city’s history. Estimated to be an 8.5 magnitude or higher on the modern-day Richter scale, it was followed by two smaller quakes and a tsunami, as high as 15 meters, then by days of fires that engulfed the city. Hundreds of aftershocks happened over subsequent months. No official death count exists, but sources both contemporary and modern estimate somewhere between 10,000 and 60,000 people died (the population numbered about 1 million at the time). About 82 percent of the city’s buildings were destroyed, among them churches, cathedrals, royal palaces and the opera house.

That the rich and the outwardly godly weren’t spared in the quake may have been one factor that spurred what amounted to an existential crisis among some Europeans. While many did turn to religion in the time of crisis — and 18th-century Portugal had its share of spiritual leaders blaming the quake on human sin, a phenomenon that persists today — science and philosophy also had their part to play. Thinkers like Voltaire, Rousseau and Immanuel Kant (there’s more on Kant; keep going) all meditated on the earthquake and what it meant for humankind and its trust in fate.

The scientific quest kicked off in Lisbon 263 years ago still doesn’t have the answer it was truly searching for.

The birth of seismology — the science of earthquakes and their accompanying phenomena — is often traced right back to 1755, and specifically to one man: Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, the Marquis of Pombal. Technically serving as Secretary of State to King Joseph I, Pombal took on a much larger role in the aftermath of the quake, explains Mark Molesky, author of This Gulf of Fire: The Destruction of Lisbon, or Apocalypse in the Age of Science and Reason. “The king was kind of shell-shocked — he and his family were almost killed by this,” Molesky says, “and he essentially gave power to Pombal, and Pombal ruled in his name for about 20 years.”

It was Pombal who ordered that a questionnaire about the earthquake be filled out for every district of the city: How many aftershocks? Did the sea rise or fall before the tsunami? Which parts of the city were damaged by fire, and to what extent? That data, still housed in Portugal’s archives, has allowed modern researchers to examine and reconstruct the details of the 1755 quake with the benefit of modern scientific theory.

This is not to say that the scientists of the day were on the right track when it came to the earthquake’s causes. Astronomer John Michell put forth an elaborate theory involving a wave of force, much like a sound wave, perhaps caused by a volcano superheating rock layers in the earth. Immanuel Kant — yes, that one — appropriated ancient theories invented by Aristotle, who thought quakes might be caused by wind passing through underground caverns. Kant, feeling that winds weren’t strong enough to cause such devastation, decided it might be explosions in underground caverns.

Of course, the study of plate tectonics has given us insight into what actually causes earthquakes. But the plot of Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson’s classic San Andreas aside, that knowledge hasn’t actually made quakes easier to predict. Knowledge is power, except when it isn’t: The scientific quest kicked off in Lisbon 263 years ago still doesn’t have the answer it was truly searching for.

Pombal’s contributions didn’t lead to much prevention. But preparation, that he could do. Tasked with rebuilding Lisbon almost from the ground up, Pombal rebuilt many neighborhoods on a system of logical grids in an architectural style still known as Pombaline — notable for being some of the first modern architecture to incorporate anti-seismic safety features, like wooden frames that could sway without breaking. The new buildings, which also used wooden lattice frames meant to evenly distribute the force of a quake, and doors, windows and walls were built to standard sizes. And soldiers were ordered to march heavily around buildings to stress-test them. Note: There hasn’t yet been an opportunity to test this in real life — 1755 remains the biggest earthquake Portugal has ever experienced.

Pombaline Lisbon has been placed on a list of candidates to become a World Heritage site, not just for its now-iconic orderly architectural style, but as a commemoration of Portugal’s contribution to being prepared.

Let’s go over the classic Target run; we all know the drill. It begins with necessity (ex: ran out of toilet paper) but somehow always ends with a cart filled with a myriad of $ 3 sheet masks, cheap leggings, some family-sized bags of candy, and a mug emblazoned with some adorable, albeit cheesy, motivational mantra. These are just some of the products you know you can always count on to find at Target: household basics, snacks, budget beauty essentials, etc. You probably don’t consider your Target run as an opportunity to stock up on a curated work wardrobe full of fashion-forward finds. That is, until now.

Enter Prologue.

Prologue is Target’s answer to the modern, everyday woman’s search for trendy, but still timeless, pieces at prices that they can feel good about. It’s a new brand that aims to make the curated, minimalist look more accessible with a range of classic pieces that have modern twists, all under $ 50.

While Target has released a number of more fashion-forward in-house brands over the past year, Prologue is the go-to for pieces that nail the intersection of workwear and fashion. Its pieces can seamlessly transition from work to weekend, and along with the affordable price tags, all Prologue pieces come in sizes 0-16, though many items go up to size 26.  There are currently 95 pieces in the collection and they’re designed specifically for easy mixing and matching; just take a look at the photos to see how many stylish combinations can be made.

  • Argentina reveals new austerity measures aimed at reducing the country’s huge budget deficit.
  • New measures will include an increase in export tariffs for grains such as soybeans, and a halving of the number of government agencies.
  • The new measures were not well received by investors, with the peso falling after their announcement.


Argentina late on Monday revealed a series of new austerity measures aimed at stopping, or at least slowing, the emerging crisis around its downtrodden economy.
