 There we go. That's video. That's live video. It's Monday Veronica's back It's like I wasn't on Well, we were all gone for Columbus. You're all gone Yeah, don't don't you put that on me. That's just you you're right I'll be gone next Monday You will be gone next Monday Lamar Wilson will be here Pretending to be you okay. I'm assuming that's fair It's a is it okay if he stops by Grobot it just uses your conference room That'd be weird that would be it still will still be available. I don't think I canceled it It would be a it would be a flight. It would be expensive. Maybe we won't do that Oh, that doesn't really make a lot of sense. No You it doesn't and then veterans day would be the next day we have off that's a Friday. Oh Who's on Friday? Usually it's Darren It's always Len sometimes Shannon instead of Darren or or a guest gotcha It's who who sang the original holiday road Lindsay Buckingham That's pop one night in Bangkok is what made me think of That is the first three fourths of the original song is one of my favorite songs I when he gets to the bark like a dog part. It starts to get repetitive and annoying well, you know was the you know that song that Man in black I should know this Johnny cash. Yes Johnny cash the song that he sang I've been everywhere. I've been everywhere and yeah I've been everywhere. That's based on an Australian song and place all the Australian place names with American ones. Oh really? Yeah, and then they Well, I guess there are two other versions. I guess there's a Canadian one and I'm not sure if there was a British one made I mean at that time there was a lot of you know Hey, well, we could sell we could sell we could sell. Yeah. Yeah, just personalize it kind of Monica Yes, you just you know turn all the names into local names Little bit of Svetlana Go over by my side I was that was that song was new when I first moved to San Francisco Really? Yeah, that would have been 99 I want stuff right clap your hands once and you're doing it right There was a semi sonic And that was shot right behind The Yeah, they're from here. No, I know that but I mean when they shot it they shot right behind No, I know that well, maybe our listeners didn't know that All right Technology news as well. All right. Well, I apparently Some sort of fit to Veronica All right here we Go Daily Tech news show is powered by its audience not outside organizations to find out more head to Daily Tech news show comm support This is the Daily Tech news for Monday October 17th 2016 I'm Tom Merritt alongside of Veronica Belmont. How are you doing this fine Monday afternoon miss Belmont? I am great. How are you? I am well I am excited to once again begin another week of providing the play-by-play to your technology life Is it play-by-play though see I always have a problem with that What do you mean like what what what else would it be really not play-by-play? We're not actually talking about like and Bob picks up his Samsung galaxy note 7 He looks wistfully as he places it into the electrostatic bag and return with the Sam And it is out of here Yeah, so we're gonna talk a little bit about Tim Cook's Mentioning a cashless society to Nikkei. He would like Apple to be the catalyst of that Applet in fact just hired Carnegie Mellon professor Russ Saluk cut me. I thought I would be able to do this one Salakutinov Russ Salakutinov to head a team working on artificial intelligence This is one of the top people at Carnegie Mellon. We'll continue to be a professor at Carnegie Mellon But also work for Apple now here are some more top stories Bloomberg reports that Apple shifted its automotive project Titan research project from building a car to building an autonomous system for cars So it's essentially they're saying Maybe let's focus on just building a system that we could either put in our own car or licensed to others rather than just focusing on building an entire car Project Sposely has a deadline of late next year to prove feasibility The shift happened after iPod designer and former Ford engineer Steve Zadeski handed over the project to Dan Rikio in April longtime Apple engineer Bob Mansfield took over as team leader and Dan Dodge creator of the QNX Embedded operating system. That's the one that Blackberry owns now has taken over a larger role for Apple on the team as well. So There's a lot in this story about people being upset. I take that as yeah Whenever you're on a project that gets changed and your role isn't the same you get upset The bigger the bigger part of this to me is Apple was trying to see if they could build a car Realized that hey, you know what as everyone said this is really tricky profit margins are thin supply chains really complicated Let's focus on the part. We know we do well the autonomous system. That's in the car and go from there Yeah, I actually think it's really smart to scale back at this stage Especially if they're they're finding that it's becoming too expensive and too difficult to do and not fitting into their timeline You know scaling back and doing what they know how to do best is is I think a really great idea at this point There are a lot of players Coming in and and Apple has you know good good sense about what's going to work with their capabilities Versus what other people are doing out there. So to me it makes it makes a lot sense. Yeah, it's and We a lot of people in our analysts slack. I was very proud pointed out like hey Apple never announced anything It's not a failure for them to change tactics on a research project It's only that everybody's just dying to know what they're up to that makes this feel like oh, so so they've given up I mean, that's just what you do when you research something Like let's see if this line works out and then if we get into problems Well, let's adjust and change it to something else I mean, can you imagine the millions upon millions of dollars invested into a project like this? You don't want to make a mistake if you have the chance to scale back and not make a huge expensive error Well, then more power to you. I think that's brilliant. That's just good product sense Yeah, like ask yourself how many projects have you started and then halfway through said, you know what? I think I'm gonna shift focus to something else Would you like headlines layer it around, you know, bob gives up on deck changes to smaller porch. What a failure for bob That would be awful google.com Flights launched a new feature that will show you when prices are expected to increase for certain flights That way you can decide if you need to pull the trigger on whether you have a little time to wait before booking Bar will also recommend all alternate airports or dates that could save you money The updates should roll out in coming weeks and this puts the search engine service in closer competition with mobile app hopper Yeah, I think a lot of people are keeping tabs on what google does with flights because this is part of the controversy with their search results Antitrust problems is that hey you guys are taking away from other Flight search engines like travel velocity or hip monk or any of those and and here now they're taking a page out of hopper Granted hopper is just a mobile app. Uh, but you know google.com slash flights works on mobile too This is the big fear That everyone has like when you're launching a company. Are you launching a feature or a product and in this case It's it's the situation where google is able to integrate your Entire business into one of their existing products and now it's a feature and so that's just something I mean it shouldn't stop you from creating a company But at the same time it's something you have to be aware of in the long term Yeah, and and just you know the fact that maybe google is abusing their market position Uh to get people to use its service is a problem But it's also It also could be a problem even if they weren't uh and and google flight search Is not terribly popular at least here in the united states yet Uh, but that's still an issue for somebody like hopper So you you just have to out compete them and say hey, we're easier to use for whatever reason German transport minister alexander dobrant wrote to tesla asking the company to stop advertising its autopilot function The ministry letter called the term autopilot misleading saying it could possibly cause drivers not to be attentive while using the driver assistance technology A tesla spokesperson told reuters that they still hold to the fact that the term is used in the aerospace industry For the assistive operation of planes It's been that way for decades and they make clear that drivers must pay attention at all times while using autopilot I'm curious i have my own i've come to my own conclusion on this But where do you stand on on tesla saying no we should be able to call it autopilot? I actually i stand with tesla on this point because they go to extreme measures to explain to drivers Exactly what autopilot does and I I think there's not really much more they could do I guess aside from not calling it autopilot to to really explain the the safety precautions that they've taken And what the drivers need to be aware of when they're engaging that mode um, so at this point I I think if if a user hasn't been Dutifully explained to about what autopilot does and that's their fault for not reading any of the onboarding messaging I I agree with everything you say, but you'd have to willfully ignore every single message They post when you're about that feature. It's right in your face But people do that's my problem like I think tesla should legally be able to call this autopilot There is there's a legal basis for that like I don't think it should be against the law Uh, I think the german transport minister is skating close to the line by sending a letter about it On the other hand, I just think it's in tesla's best interest to just change the name Like you can be on the right side of the law and the right side of logic and still have a lot of people out there Going like yeah, but it's autopilot, right? That means I can take my hands off the wheel and they just ignore the stuff and I know you're right that's on you But it still is going to be a problem for tesla If people have accidents and it's called autopilot like well tesla even knows when your hands aren't on the wheel anymore So there's like there's very little excuse Yeah, but I'm autopilot I'm gonna take my hands off and the car is like hey dummy put your hands back on the wheel you dummy It may be wrong that tesla is in this situation But I think it's in tesla's own interest to be like, yeah fine. We're just gonna call it something else Let's just let's just get past that part of the argument. It feels like standing on principle at this point Well, I think people should try harder To not die that's fair. That's totally fair. Yeah, I agree. They really should please try harder. Not Just try harder. Just pay a little attention The uk's investigatory powers tribunal rules that gchq mi5 and mi6 bulk data collection programs violated european privacy protections prior to the implementation of an official policy in february 2015 The new policy governs how data is collected managed and destroys Makes the collection lawful Yeah, so this is um, this is a victory of a sort For privacy advocates because it says hey the european rules prevent this kind of collection However The court did say but hey they put in this new policy back in february last year So everything's cool. Keep on keep it on just collect away And I don't think the privacy advocates are very excited about that So it makes the collection I was making sure this wasn't a typo and makes the collection lawful So it's still lawful. You can still collect all that data collection that they did prior to february 2015 Was not lawful and there are consequences to that that will need to be worked out But the collection now this is the problem. It's like great. You can punish them for what they did then potentially But their collection that they're doing now Which what the court is arguing is like there are now guidelines in place, you know, there There are things they can and cannot do there were no rules before to guide this now there are But it also means that the collection can now take place which I know a lot of people think is good They're like, yes, we need to collect this sort of thing and there should be rules about it And now there are but I know privacy advocates are not pleased about that because they don't think the rules are the right ones Scientists at mit and harvard medical school have developed rubber like optical fiber Out of water. Well, okay. It's out of a hydrogel Rubber like optical fiber out of a hydrogel that can be stretched and bent It can hold up inside a human body without damaging its surroundings because it's a hydrogel If you wonder why this is important fiber optics are often used to activate cells and trigger neurons A lot of times in research, especially on paralyzed people But also in just seeing how the brain works in treating cancers Existing materials are inflexible and do risk causing damage to the tissue So when you're putting that fiber optic cable into a brain, for instance to test something That's much more risky. The new fiber won't be so risky It'll also transmit light without fading or losing signal It could be used to indicate the return of flexibility to a limb So you wouldn't want to put this in permanently normally But now that it's so flexible and so non-damaging you could just put it in a leg and say oh the flexibility is starting to come back We can see that because of the signal Or it could detect the beginnings of inflammation because the light would dim and they'd be able to tell that and they'd say Uh-oh, this is an indication of disease. Maybe the cancer is coming back. Maybe there's an infection. That sort of thing Wow science man. That's that's pretty great. That's cool stuff And and connected to that a little bit geek.com reports that a group at the university of Pittsburgh medical center have implanted quadriplegic Nathan Copeland with a series of chips that can let him feel with a robotic arm Two arrays of electrodes were implanted and connected to a receiver attached to his skull One set lets him send signals from his motor cortex to a computer Which can then move a robotic hand the other set sends signals from the robotic fingers into his sensory cortex So they are directly like rebuilding those connections, which is amazing Yeah, this is a lot of proof of concept right now So the big thing they're able to do is 20 out of 20 times with with a blindfold on He could tell you which robotic finger was being touched Like he'd say index finger pinky finger, etc So they've gotten that down But it still has to go from a robotic hand to an external computer to his brain They're not re hooking up his own limb and it's not all happening within his own body yet, but But still yes, you could now now you solve those problems because you have the really hard problem Starting to be solved of figuring out how to send sensory input back to the brain. That's huge That is really really huge. What a phenomenal outcome. I'm so excited about stuff like this I've been reading about this kind of technology For the last year or so. I think they've been working on it for a while And there seems to be a lot of a lot of great strides happening Yeah, well, I remember I don't remember who was daily tech news show or tech news today at this point, but not too long ago talking about The first step here happening for the first time the first time someone was able to actually send Impulses from their brain and control a robotic arm and we're already like, yeah, okay, we can do that Yeah, let's let's start sending it the other way Let's start sending it back in and and granted they say it's not like Not all fingers are at the same sensitivity which implies that maybe some of those Those electrodes aren't in a perfect the perfect place yet. And I wonder I don't know if this Rubber like optical fiber could help them refine that it maybe it could maybe it can't I don't know enough about it But we have so many of these kinds of of advances happening that You know, we're setting up the circuitry now It's it's becoming a matter of just refining how good it is and making it work on a more wearable or internal basis Yeah, it's it's pretty phenomenal how fast the technology is moving forward now. Yeah Well, thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit and brings us great stories like this submit your own folks and get in there on vote On the others daily tech news show dot reddit dot com All right, so as I mentioned earlier Tim Cook was giving an interview to Nikkei Did talk a lot about a lot about artificial intelligence machine intelligence things like that But one of the things he said that caught my eye was we would like to be a catalyst for taking cash out of the system We don't think the consumer particularly likes cash now In the fortune article about this they talked a lot about whether apple pay could actually be the one to do this or not Let's set that aside for a moment There's plenty of competitors for apple pay and there's plenty of things to talk about there with samsung pay android pay and master pass etc But let's go with that catalyst. Could any of these develop an ecosystem That means we don't need cash and do we want that? I would love to not have to be dependent on cash um I know it feels like kind of a luxury to say so And I think we still have a long way to go before we can be a cash A paper cash or a hard cash free society Especially considering it's at this point at this stage requiring smartphones at the very least In order to function unless you have a card like you can in japan that has nfc style technology we haven't really Picked up that trend in the same way that a lot of asian countries have Unfortunately because that would make this sort of thing a lot more easily spread Especially to to people who can't afford or don't want a smartphone device But yeah, I think it would be really great Yeah, so here part of the argument for cash Is is that it can do things that digital can't Some of these digital could be able to do but they can't yet or the system could do it But it's not set up that way And so things like guaranteed acceptance compatibility like if you have the currency of the country you're in Most everybody knows what it is. They recognize it. They'll accept it as payment Whereas if even credit cards, you know, they don't always take all the credit cards Some merchants just don't take credit cards at all because they don't want to pay the fees That's the other thing It's anonymous untraceable and doesn't cost you any extra to give someone a dollar Whereas if you use a credit card, it's costing the merchant a little bit of money to accept your dollar Then all of the banks that are involved in that transaction have a record that you spent it on what you spent it Uh, and so you need a bank account Of some kind even if it's just a debit card account to be able to use Uh, some kind of payment system And and there's just that sense of control when you have cash you can see it You know how much you have there's a psychological satisfaction to it I mean, do you think we can Overcome those cash advantages I think the the compatibility and and just the functionality of possibly meeting a charge device in order to make a purchase of some kind You know, there's still going to be Even just technology limitations. Um, sometimes we you know, I was in I was in the uk one time And I was trying to buy a drink and a magazine that at a corner store And I didn't have cash on me and they didn't accept my credit card because it wasn't chipped And you know, that's just one example of a I had the funds. I I had the ability to pay I just the technology at that point in time wasn't compatible It would be nice to get to a place where we kind of had, you know A single kind of currency That was able to be used across the world without limitations and without needing to worry about You know, is it apple pay or is it android or is it master card or is it any other number of potential Services that would be providing the the payment systems in place Um, that is you know, that's the main plus side of of actual cash Though you still have to convert it from place to place. Yeah. So, you know, if I if I have dollars I can't I typically can't just take those to to japan and spend them So it would be nice to have something that that worked without barriers And you know, what the technology is really getting a lot safer in some ways It's it's more dangerous in some ways and safer in others You know, a lot of financial institutions are instituting blockchain Which I'm sure you've talked about on the show before and being able to have that that record of transactions and When they were made and being able to to You know approve them So that's that's great in some ways, but also we're not completely set up for that yet There there's still a lot of potential for for issues and fraud and and thievery thievery Well, when you talk about thievery like that is a risk for cash, right? Like if you've got a stack of cash and someone takes it you can't get it back Whereas if someone steals your credit card and uses it There is a system to keep you from having to be liable for that But somebody has to be liable for it somebody loses that money at some point and of course We all know about hackers Getting into accounts and and attackers and delicious hackers stealing money That can even happen in the bitcoin blockchain type universe It's all about limiting that risk and I think that's where you need to go with the blockchain The blockchain gets us part of the way down there, right? It makes anonymous transactions possible It it makes it more secure than current digital money systems but There's still you know, there's still advantages to cash that isn't quite there yet. Like you say ubiquity Needing a charged device like we actually need battery technology To improve before a cashless society can truly happen I mean, there's a lot you can do with NFC that isn't doesn't require power But but honestly if you're going to require devices then you need to make them cheap and you need to make them easy to power Exactly If you're if if you're on the side of of digital currency, there are some good arguments in your advantage Registers don't run out of money for change. It's not managed by a government It It is not costly For someone to to cash a check You know cash check check cashing is something which will take money out of people's paychecks if they don't have bank accounts Um, so low-income individuals are four times more likely to pay fees to access their money in cash Then they would with direct deposit However, um, you know, it's it's it's it goes against Your assumptions, I think but in the u.s. Cash and circulation grew 42 percent between 2007 and 2020. Yeah People are using cash in larger numbers than ever cash and circulation projected to grow worldwide 7 percent each year and it's not just Developing countries using cash in fact in kenya two-thirds of kenyan adults use m-pesa Which is a way to move your cash in and out of a digital system So in some place developing countries are leapfrogging faster into digital money than developed areas are Well, my my issues are a typical day for me goes like I go to buy something relatively inexpensive like a coffee and a breakfast sandwich say And I typically I'll I'll pay in cash because cash is faster I tend to have a little bit on hand and it's not For some reason it always seems to take a lot longer to use a credit card half the time Because if you're if it's a chip you have to figure out if it's if it's a chip machine Do you have to slide it? Do you have to sign for it? Do you not have to sign for it? If every place had something like apple pay and it was just standard and everybody knew how to use it and just work The way it was supposed to that would probably make things a lot faster But right now it seems work were kind of in this confusion state Where nobody knows what the easiest most convenient payment method is and so maybe a lot of people are just Defaulting to cash because they understand it and know how it works and and they don't have to figure out Which app they need to open up on their phone in order to use it Yeah, I mean apple pay works really well when it works But you need apple devices to make it work if it was an open standard that everybody used That would be great, but it's not samsung pay same thing android pay same thing Everybody has a fiduciary interest in keeping you from using other platforms though So it's kind of working against what we all need Which is why governments being involved with cash Was a big innovation in its day when that came along because it was a third party saying We're going to step in and get rid of all these confusing bank notes That people are passing along and re-signing and signing over and we're just going to issue The paper money uh from our third party and get rid of the competing interest All right, let's get to our pick of the day rob In maidenhead australia has a suggestion called should I answer basically a crowd sources anger at telemarketer? He said he writes when your phone rings the app pops up to show you if the number has a positive or negative rating So that you can decide if you want to answer it or not the number of current ratings is shown as well If the number is not yet rated the caller shows is unknown Then once you hang up after answering the call the app allows you to submit your rating Calls can be marked as private if you don't want to send your caller rating back to the mothership And it works really well. I highly recommend it 4.8 out of 5 ratings out of the 82 000 plus reviews on the google play stores Thank you for that rob. It's called again Should I answer and then Veronica you have a similar app that you use for the same sort of thing? Yeah, I've been playing with an app called hyah For ios and android a very similar kind of system A phone number pops up and it tells you whether it's a scam or whether it's some kind of You know phishing scheme or whatever kind of scam it is Uh, this one has the ability after the the next ios update to actually automatically block the calls Yeah, if it has a high enough rating or if enough people has to have said that it's a scam You can just say just don't block any just just block any calls that are on the scam list Um, so there's a spam list. There's a scam list and then there's an unapproved list Um, so yeah, I've been using it right now When I see a number, I don't know pop up on my screen If it's not already in their database, I just copy the number over after the call ends And paste it in and then it tells me what other people have said about that number I just don't as a rule. I don't typically answer a number unless I recognize it Especially if it's not from my my area code So yeah, that's that's that's that's been working really well I've been using it for the past three or four days and I've had a lot of Good things to say about it so far Let's go check it out. Should I answer or hyah h i y a? We'll have this and other picks available at our website daily tech news show dot com slash picks And of course send us your picks feedback at daily tech news show dot com One email of the day from thinness in Cape Town, South Africa. I was listening to you and brian Discussing hydrogen fuel cells last week and how the biggest issue at present is the canisters for refueling We're talking about using it in phones and how you have to have basically recharge with an external Recharge cartridge in most of the implementations we've seen then it says here in South Africa We don't have gas supplied to houses through piping if you want to use gas for cooking or heating You get it supplied in a metal gas bottle. You don't own the bottle You just pay a deposit per bottle and the gas inside. We actually have a similar thing for propane here in the united states He says once you run out you just swap bottles and pay for the gas Sounds like a viable solution to the hydrogen canisters you need Alternatively, how about a cell phone refueling station at your local corner store or gas station where you just pay for the hydrogen? Second though comes from watching the martian You know the line about hydrogen and an open flame and exposed oxygen Not a great track record now thinks smoker with a cell phone next to his ear Maybe that smoking note seven was just ahead of its time too soon Oh Yeah, no, it's it's a fair point hydrogen is unstable and it's not like it is necessarily less flammable than a lithium ion battery But it does it does seem to have an easier way of keeping it from being destructive at least from what i've read Uh and all those solutions that he's mentioning about swapping out gas bottles are interesting, Veronica. Would that would you find any of those? Worth your while to do that instead of having to have a lithium ion battery Uh, wait what I need to carry a bottle with me No, you just like just swap out cartridges when you need to recharge instead of having to plug in No, I don't want to do that. See that's the thing even if you have swappable cartridges I think people just They just have it in their minds that you know, you don't want to have to do a thing except plug it in at the end of the night Mm-hmm. I like that. Yeah Well Yeah, I I still think there there may be other solutions to this that Maybe and maybe it's not hydrogen fuel cells I mean brian and I were exploring that idea because it's one that's been in the news with drones and things like that But there's got to be there's got to be a better battery tech If we get a better battery tech then we don't have exploding phones as often And if we don't have exploding phones as often then we can use them for payments because they'll charge will last longer And we won't worry about them exploding at the at the bodega and then we're done Don't explode bodega. No, I meant the the koviga store not your dog Anyone who doesn't know Veronica's dogs named bodega, but not after convenience stores after the bay Yes, and I didn't name her so don't blame her for an immigrant after the bay.

I don't know if it was any good, but it was funny. Oh the one that makes you um, yeah, it's um Chat bot.me or something like that And Hold on I gotta find it now It actually takes all of your previous twitter posts and then creates word salad out of them, but keeps syntax So it's saying things you've said before Uh, yeah making sense grammatically But too hilarious effect Yeah, it was it was pretty good. I think it was definitely did you say word salad? Yeah, it's chat like dot me Chat like dot me. Yes And then you can even create a twitter account for it and it will just auto post for you Yeah, I think that's probably similar to what anthony carbony is using for a carbony bot Um, some of the some of the word combinations were pretty similar though A lot of these are built on the same kind of bot frameworks So it's not too surprising that they're coming up with similar answers and responses Chat like dot me. Uh, yeah The next web was using it too and they he discovered like one instance At least where it just took the first half of one of his tweets and married into the second half of a different tweet I've definitely been seeing some of that. Um, let me see if I can pull up a good example if we have time Oh, my computer is being really slow right now. Don't worry about it. It's okay. But yeah, check it out.
