Their title as a "D" in it. At least it does now, not sure if it was that way when you posted it.

A new lithium-sulphur battery with an ultra-high capacity could lead to drastically cheaper electric cars and grid energy storage. Until the next model of phone comes out

Yup. Headline should read "A new battery could let your phone use 5x more power".
AFAIK it won't do nearly much for laptops though because battery capacity growth there is already up against the 100 watt/hour limit beyond which you're not allowed to take it on an airplane.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A connected paper-roll is what we so desperately needed, indeed. I can't wait to have statistics on length used by day/week/month/year. A robotic voice saying 'Eew' at each usage would be a plus.

Are we talking about the web-site that demands a copy of your passport before it allows you to use it?
Here's a tip: Avoid airbnb like the plague. They will likely be at the core of one of the biggest scandals ever to hit the Interwebs.

I haven't used airbnb but I have used vrbo and they don't require a passport. And on airbnb's site, https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1170/what-are-the-requirements-to-book-on-airbnb[^], it does not say that they require a passport so I don't think that is true.
But if I am going to have people staying in my home, the more verification on who they are the better, I say.

Try to rent a place through them.
If you don't give them a copy of your passport, they cancel the booking (and take a month to return your money).

As a landlord, you are entitled to see the renter's passport, and I would happily show you mine, if I rented from you.
If you told me that you wanted to store a copy of my passport in a database, however, I would refuse to let you.
As a web-site, not a landlord (check the court cases where they have demanded that they are not landlords, to avoid paying taxes and meeting regulations), they have no right to even ask to see my passport, let alone store it in a database.

So they want to use your behaviour on the internet to automatically determine your access to services such as finding accommodation? They should talk to China, I hear they already have this cracked.

Opinion: Copying APIs is essential to competition in the software industry. Apparently the gander is also sauced
time for a nap. I didn't understand that blurb after I wrote it.

The article says: An API is essentially a language for instructing a computer on what to do.
Golly! I've learned something new, today!
Amazon's claim is, of course, utter bollocks.
Coping API class names, etc, so that people can use familiar commands to do similar things on different platforms, does not in any way infringe any copyright.
What it does do is make it easier for people to transfer their skills from one platform to another, and that is only in everyone else's interests, not amazon's.

You are right of course. Given that Oracle is suing Google for doing with the Java "API" the same as Oracle has done with Amazon's "API", Oracle's suit comes across as a bit disingenuous and hypocritical.
