The day began with a 3.5 earthquake for us, after a beautiful night of watching the Geminids meteor shower, one of the most spectacular annual stellar events.  The Covid 19 vaccines have begun their mighty distributions and we discuss the differences, such as the value of mRNA. Fun stuff!  

It was great to note that our local aircraft company, Joby Aviation, is inking a $75 million deal with Uber, a strong move to make their flying electric VTOL taxi to be a strong contender in that market. While on the ground, Amazon’s transpo company, Zoox, has debuted their first fully autonomous vechicle, guaranteed to speed up ground taxi service and packager delivery! Also, the Chinese have achieved that latest breakthrough in quantum computers, using light rather than electrons for computing. We also had a great conversation about the new iPhone-based DNA sequencer, a kind of tricorder, and Mrs. Future gave a nice report on an existing solar system super highway that will make space travel faster and more affordable. And then, there is the rise of the Xenobots, the first fully biological robots…enjoy!

It looks like the race for Quantum Supremacy is on with Google’s new 72 cubit Quantum Computer, outpacing IBM’s 50 cubit machine, announced just a few months ago. And closer to home, you may want to try a free new app that will do instant speech-to-text for you.  

New VR experiences at the Nano World’s Fair 2018 San FranciscoIf you want to see some of the coming new technologies in person, like VR and AR, or see some meat grown from stem cells instead of an animal or go for a ride in an autonomous car, consider visiting the Nano World’s Fair, coming up this weekend in San Francisco. This week we speak with CEO of the Nano Worlds Fair, Michael Weiss, and get the download and what’s hot to see and who to hear at this coming weekend’s event at Pier 48 in San Francisco.

And we have some great discussions this week, sparked by our slate of articles, such as a common ape language we may all know, and the effect of luck on success.  Enjoy!
