"The New York Times reported last year that G.M. was collecting data about people’s driving behavior, including how often they sped or drove at night, and selling it to data brokers that generated risk profiles for insurance companies. Some drivers reported that their auto insurance rates increased as a result."

New water purification technology helps turn seawater into drinking water without tons of chemicals
"“Our device reduces the chemical and energy demands of seawater desalination, significantly enhancing environmental sustainability and cutting costs by up to 15 percent, or around 20 cents per cubic meter of treated water,” said Weiyi Pan, a postdoctoral researcher at Rice University and a study co-first author."

I spotted a small mistake in the article. It said 'Creating plasma and keeping it contained is hard. Tokamaks do it in a chamber, often doughnut-shaped, that contains gases that are heated to high temperatures and subjected to enormous pressure until they becomes a plasma'.
Inside the tokamak is near perfect vacuum. The pressure is very low, about 1/10,000,000 atm - the opposite of enormous.
Still, it's a record to keep the plasma going for that long. Usually, when fusion starts, the reaction generates so much heat that destroys the coherence of the beam pretty quickly. The trick is to constantly adjust the current in the magnets to keep the beam going.
We already have a working fusion reactor. It has been working for nearly five billion years.
Fully working. No need to mess with it. All we need do is to collect the trillions of kilowatts it pours down onto a variety of desert areas, store some of the heat in molten salt and run our steam generators 24/7. The Maghreb area of North Africa has access to this amazing reactor for twelve hours a day and it is fully usable 97% of the day time hours in a year.

Why make things so difficult trying to replicate the sun on earth. We are NOWHERE NEAR doing that and anyone who thinks we are needs his head examined.
We can do this NOW. The heat can be stored for nighttime use and that is what happens at these concentrated solar thermal plant.
The solar energy absorbed by a square meter of the Sahara in an hour is between two and three kilowatt hours of energy. FAR more than we get in our feeble solar systems on UK rooftops where the energy available is about 850 to 1000 watts per square meter.
The power is easily transmitted to far flung places on ultra high voltage DC lines which lose very much less power than AC systems - 3.5% for 1000km - much less than AC - especially under sea.

It's a question of space. We'll need fusion reactors to travel to the stars.
