The vehicles will be manually driven to start, before the company starts testing its autonomous tech in both cities. Waymo told TechCrunch that it hopes to start offering robotaxi trips in Denver next year and the Seattle metropolitan area “as soon as we’re permitted to do so.” Denver and Seattle will be two of the most extreme-weather cities that Waymo…

Under-16s in England will be banned from buying energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster because they fuel obesity, cause sleep problems and leave them unable to concentrate.Health experts, teaching unions and dentists welcomed the ban and said it would boost children and young people’s health. It fulfils a pledge Labour included in its manifesto for last year’s general election.“How can we expect children to do well at school if they have the equivalent of a double espresso in their system on a daily basis?”, said Wes Streeting, the health secretary.“Energy drinks might seem harmless but the sleep, concentration…

[This story contains spoilers from Alien: Earth‘s fifth episode, “In Space, No One…”] Alien: Earth gave franchise fans an unexpected treat with its fifth episode: A mini-Alien movie that feels like the FX drama took Ridley Scott‘s 1979 original film and re-imagined its core elements as a unique one-hour story. Aptly titled “In Space, No One…” (playing off the original film’s famous marketing tagline, “In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream”), the flashback episode showed what happened aboard the ill-fated USCSS Maginot that caused its dangerous creatures to escape and the ship to crash into Earth. With the ship’s interior…

The “orange-clad guardians of peace” are tackling youth unemployment, inspiring hope, and redefining happiness in the Himalayan kingdom.Before I visited Bhutan, I joked that I was determined to find an unhappy Bhutanese. I’ve long been fascinated by the tiny Buddhist kingdom tucked between China and India. Since 2008, the country has officially tracked Gross National Happiness as its national metric, a kind of spiritual counterweight to capitalism. The spin made it sound like the population of Bhutan were a kind of East Asian von Trapps, prancing around the Himalayas while wrangling yaks.Was this really possible? In a word: No.And yes.Bhutan’s…
