World’s largest collection of ocean garbage is now twice the size of Texas

Twice the size of Texas. That’s…well, actually that’s about the size of Alaska…and, unfortunately also the size of the plastic island of doom in the Pacific.
Nice job, humanity. We really suck at treating our world as if we need it to survive.
We do, you know. Just saying.

Autonomous cars may soon navigate better in fog

In theory, autonomous cars could be better at driving in fog than humans…thanks to technology like this, which could allow the vehicle to “see” where a human could not. Assuming the technology can actually penetrate the fog and the software / AI properly interprets the output, of course.

Don’t Delete Facebook—Just Be Smarter on Facebook

Don’t delete Facebook…if you do, then they will still have all that data on you, but you will have ZERO control. At least while you have your account, you can control access and availability.
Here’s a better suggestion: Don’t be an idiot. That means, don’t post ANYTHING that you wouldn’t want the WHOLE WORLD to know. THAT is the rule folks. THAT is the level of TRUST that you must accept with your personal info out there on the Internet.
Accept it. Live it. Otherwise, you’re gonna get burned by trolls and hackers…and your favorite Social Networks, who do NOT really care about your privacy. Seriously…they don’t. You know I’m right.
