Odds slashed on Trump to leave office in 2017

Posted: 17 May 2017 05:31 AM PDT

Odds slashed on Trump to leave office in 2017Odds on Donald Trump leaving office in 2017 have been slashed after claims the President pressured FBI director James Comey to drop his investigation into ex-national security adviser Mike Flynn. It comes after a tumultuous week in which Mr Trump admitted he fired Mr Comey at least partially because of the investigation into his team's links to Russia, and after the President passed apparently classified secrets to senior Russian officials. This has led to heavy criticism by both Democrats and members of his own Republican Party.

Iraq says battle for Mosul nearly won as forces close in on Old City

Posted: 16 May 2017 03:33 AM PDT

Iraq says battle for Mosul nearly won as forces close in on Old CityBy Ahmed Rasheed BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi forces have dislodged Islamic State from all but 12 square km of Mosul, a military spokesman said on Tuesday, after planes dropped leaflets into the city telling civilians the battle was nearly won. Seven months into the U.S.-backed campaign, the militants now control only a few districts in the western half of Mosul including the Old City, where Islamic State is expected to make its last stand. The Iraqi government is pushing to declare victory by the holy month of Ramadan, expected to begin on May 27, even if pockets of resistance remain in the Old City, according to military commanders.

Trump revealed intelligence secrets to Russians in Oval Office: officialsBy Jeff Mason and Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump disclosed highly classified information to Russia's foreign minister about a planned Islamic State operation, two U.S. officials said on Monday, plunging the White House into another controversy just months into Trump's short tenure in office. The intelligence, shared at a meeting last week with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, was supplied by a U.S. ally in the fight against the militant group, both officials with knowledge of the situation said. The White House declared the allegations, first reported by the Washington Post, incorrect.

Cosby says he will not testify at his sexual assault trialBy Joseph Ax NEW YORK (Reuters) - Comedian Bill Cosby does not plan to testify in his defense at his sexual assault trial in June, he said on Tuesday in his first extended public comments in two years. The 79-year-old told Sirius-XM radio host Michael Smerconish that the dozens of women who have come forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct were "piling on" and suggested that racism has played a role in his treatment because he is black. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in a Pennsylvania courtroom ahead of Cosby's June 5 trial on charges that he drugged and sexually assaulted Andrea Constand, a former basketball coach at his alma mater Temple University, in 2004.


Here's how to get a free castle in Italy (seriously)

Posted: 16 May 2017 09:08 AM PDT

Here's how to get a free castle in Italy (seriously)Want a free castle in Italy? Sure, take one, your highness. But, as with everything good, there's a catch. As part of an initiative called the Strategic Tourist Plan, Italy is giving away 103 historic buildings — villas, inns, houses, towers, etc. to entrepreneurs willing to take them. (Yes, that means it could be you.) SEE ALSO: While the United fiasco unfolded, a travel writer made $11,000 off overbooked flights All the recipient must do is pledge to renovate the buildings, which are mainly in more remote areas of the country, in a way that will diversify Italy's tourism industry. This means transforming them into hotels, restaurants, visitor centers, spas, shops — anything that will attract tourist traffic. This will ideally help ease crowding in popular Italian tourist hubs like Venice and Milan, instead drawing crowds to chill, lesser-known spots along cycling paths, hiking trails, or religious walking routes. Does the work seem worth it? You'll need to submit a proposal to the State Property Agency by June 26. So, if you've dreamed for years of turning a beautiful castle into a go-kart track, now's your chance! We always knew you were royalty. :') WATCH: This bike helmet folds flat and can fit inside your backpack


Watch 17 years of car safety tech save one driver’s life, and kill another

Watch 17 years of car safety tech save one driver's life, and kill another

Everyone knows that cars have gotten safer over time, or at least we know that the number of safety features which modern cars have has gone from a handful to dozens upon dozens. Despite that, it's sometimes hard to see real concrete evidence of that fact unless you've been in a serious accident yourself — or, even better, an accident in both the 1990s and another one today. Thankfully, this fantastic video showcasing a crash between a 1998 Toyota Corolla and a 2015 Corolla makes the safety advances in car technology abundantly clear, without you needing to risk your own neck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxDHuthGIS4

The test, which was organized and conducted by ANCAP (Autraliasian New Car Assessment Program), sought to point out just how devastating an accident in an outdated vehicle can be for the occupants. Judging by the utter destruction wrought upon the 1998 Corolla, it's safe to assume the test achieved its goal.

The video sprinkles a few car accident statistics along the way, including the fact that more than 50% of deaths that occur on New Zealand roads, happen in vehicles built before the year 2000. The crash test, in which the 1998 Corolla is flattened by the 2015 model, makes it easy to see how that could be the case.

In the Toyota crash, the 2015 model performs admirably, with front and side airbags that absorb the brunt of the impact, and crumple zones which strategically collapse to take as much of the force out of the crash as possible. The 1998 model, with no airbags of any kind and a front end that flattens like a sponge, causes a tremendous amount of trauma to the driver, who is likely to have died in the accident.

Another large-scale cyberattack underway: experts

Another large-scale cyberattack underway: expertsThe new attack targets the same vulnerabilities the WannaCry ransomware worm exploited but, rather than freeze files, uses the hundreds of thousands of computers believed to have been infected to mine virtual currency. Following the detection of the WannaCry attack on Friday, researchers at Proofpoint discovered a new attack linked to WannaCry called Adylkuzz, said Nicolas Godier, a researcher at the computer security firm. Instead of completely disabling an infected computer by encrypting data and seeking a ransom payment, Adylkuzz uses the machines it infects to "mine" in a background task a virtual currency, Monero, and transfer the money created to the authors of the virus.

Starbucks is giving out free coffee because an update wrecked its computer system

Starbucks is giving out free coffee because an update wrecked its computer system

Some Starbucks locations across the US are temporarily giving out free coffee to customers, as an update has put the point of sale systems out of order at some locations. According to dozens of users on Twitter, affected locations are either closing doors, or "taking care of customers" in a very excellent way: free coffee for all.

The story was spotted by thirsty TechCrunch writers in New York, who discovered that their local Starbucks was affected and giving away free drinks. A quick search of Twitter confirmed what was happening: an overnight update bricked some of the chain's point of sale systems, making it impossible for stores to accept credit cards.

Some stores apparently shut down, but others stayed open to give away drinks. Starbucks confirmed in a statement that "As part of our normal course of business, overnight we worked to install a technology update to our store registers in the U.S. and Canada. A limited number of locations remain offline, and we are working swiftly to resume full operations in each of these stores.  The stores will remain open during this time and, as always, our partners are prepared to take care of our customers to ensure they have the best experience possible."

"Our partners are prepared to take care of our customers," in this case, means free drinks. The move is obviously meant to keep caffeine-craved patrons happy and awake, so it would be a decidedly jerk move to make a special trip to Starbucks, just to see if the drinks are free.

This story is also your daily reminder of the number one rule in technology: always backup before an update.


Azerbaijan destroys Armenia air defence system in disputed region

Posted: 16 May 2017 03:32 AM PDT

Azerbaijan destroys Armenia air defence system in disputed regionAzerbaijan has destroyed an Armenian air defence system in the breakaway Nagorny Karabakh region, officials in Baku said Tuesday, as separatist authorities vowed retaliation, raising tensions in the festering conflict. Ex-Soviet Azerbaijan and Armenia are locked in a protracted conflict over the disputed region, and frequent exchanges of fire nearly spiralled into all-out war last year. "Azerbaijani forces destroyed on Monday an Armenian Osa air defence system and its crew in the Fisuli-Khojavend sector of Karabakh's frontline in order to avert the threat it posed to Azerbaijan's aircraft," an official from the press service of Azerbaijan's defence ministry told AFP.


Tesla teams up with utility company to offer super-cheap Powerwalls to back up its power grid

Posted: 16 May 2017 09:36 AM PDT

Tesla teams up with utility company to offer super-cheap Powerwalls to back up its power gridTesla is pairing up with a Vermont utility provider to offer subsidized Powerwall battery packs to bolster its power grid and give customers a chance to harness its energy when other lights go out. Vermont's Green Mountain Power (GMP), a utility company with a decidedly environmental focus, will be the first power provider in the world to integrate Tesla's system as a major part of its grid. GMP will install Tesla's industrial Powerpacks on its own utility land and offer 2,000 of its customers 7 kW Powerwall 2 units for an extra $15 per month charge on their power bill or a one-time, $1,500 fee. The batteries store energy during off-peak hours, like nighttime, for later use, and typically cost up to $3,000.  GMP says it will harness the energy stored in the Powerpacks and customer-installed Powerwalls to provide its grid with an extra boost during peak usage times in an effort to lower costs for all of its customers. This network won't just give the company an extra source of reliable energy — it'll help to cut down dependence on costly, "dirty" backup generators. SEE ALSO: Groom credits Tesla Model X for saving his life the night before his own wedding The Tesla batteries already proved successful for GMP on a small scale, when three customers with their own Powerwalls were able to keep their lights on during a storm that knocked the power out for 15,000 other GMP-powered homes.  The new partnership will look to leverage that reliable source of stored energy to a larger group of its customers. "There hasn't been any really successful large-scale trial, so that's why this is so exciting," J.B. Straubel, Tesla's chief technology officer, told local station WCAX-TV of the deal. "It's been a potential, and on people's minds for a lot of years, and it's been in development at Tesla for quite some time, but this is our first real deployment." GMP was selected by Tesla especially for the project — in no small part because of its green track record in a state that has embraced solar power.   The Tesla Powerwall 2.Image: tesla"Vermont is, surprising to some people, but it's one of the states with the highest penetration of solar power per capita in the country," Straubel said to WCAX-TV. The state indeed ranks eighth in the nation's ranks of solar capacity per capita at 270 watts per person, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). "Green Mountain Power is unique in their excitement to adopt this sooner than others, but the same technology and the same exact model is relevant, frankly, all over the world," Straubel said. "So, you know, we're already having some early discussions with other utilities and grid operators and our feeling is that this is possible a way that most storage will end up getting networked together in the future and I think it has a really exciting, you know, road map." Telsa also opened up preorders for its Solar Roof tiles last week, offering potential customers a means to generate their own energy at costs the company claims will be comparable or even lower than roofs made from traditional tiles. The Solar Roof system can use a Powerwall unit to store the energy it produces, but the two systems can work on their own.     GMP's Powerwall initiative doesn't require its customers to have access to solar energy production but admits in the program's FAQs that customers with some sort of system in place "will get the most benefit from your home battery."
