This article looks at the upcoming wave of autonomous trucks and the issues that will need to be overcome before they become a common sight on the road.
Startup Biomemory has released DNA cards that can store one kilobyte of data for at least 150 years. The company encodes the data by chemically synthesizing strands of DNA base by base in a process that takes about 8 hours. Customers will have to send their DNA cards to Biomemory's partner Eurofins Genomics to decode the data. They will not get their cards back after the data has been decoded. A pack of two identical cards costs $1,000.

Many people use social media out of a fear of missing out rather than genuine interest, making them worse off than if the platforms didn't exist in the first place. This study looks at this phenomenon to paint a more accurate picture of how social media impacts consumers. It challenges the argument that the mere existence of a product implies positive welfare for its users. The results suggest a heightened need for regulators to assess whether different products create traps for consumers and whether they generate positive welfare.
