A robot automatically identifies weeds in a field and combats them with a short laser pulse. Sustainable agriculture, which avoids the use of herbicides as far as possible, could benefit from this smart idea.

If you take a step back for a moment and think about airplane flight, it turns out that something rather extraordinary is happening. Most of the time the plane is being flown by an autopilot and the pilot is actually kind of a “meta pilot” – a minder that watches to ensure that the autopilot is not doing anything dumb. And every year, millions of us entrust our lives to this system – we’re not only okay with it, we’re in fact impressed that an auto-pilot can do that stuff so effectively. Against that backdrop, now consider how extraordinary it is that we don’t have computer software that can “fly” a data-center. Don’t bet that it will stay that way. It is changing, and the changes are going to have big consequences.

Television viewers aren’t just tuning out during commercial breaks, they’re picking up their smartphones to check Facebook.
The tech firm examined the Facebook activity of 537 people who said they watched the season premiere of a popular TV show. During commercials, their Facebook activity spiked.
Facebook illustrated the activity in this graph:
As more social media companies beef up their live video efforts, television networks are also facing more competition for a viewer’s attention.
Social media companies are trying to convince marketers that spending money on their platforms is worth their time.
Facebook says “smartphones are not tiny televisions” but represents a new medium for video advertising.
“Because people can watch virtually anything at any time, they’re only going to watch ads that grab their attention, reward their time, and are immediately relevant,” wrote Mark Rabkin, VP of Facebook’s Core Ads in a post about the topic. “As a consequence, even though aggregate ad view time is up, individual session times are down. People aren’t watching ads for as long as they used to, on any medium.”
Rabkin outlined some best practices for advertisers. Facebook, which has revealed before that it miscalculated ad metrics, is focusing on three areas as it moves forward, he said. That includes transparency, evolving its measurement tools and building new ways to tell stories.

Gold futures fell to their lowest in a week Thursday, as stocks rallied despite dramatic testimony from former FBI director James Comey, who accused President Donald Trump of lying and defaming him.
With risk appetite picking up, gold for August was down $13.70, or 1.1%, to settle at $1,279.50/oz.
European Central Bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged earlier this morning.
The ECB said interest rates are expected to remain at their present levels for an extended period of time but dropped any reference to a future rate cut. They also announced a downward revision to its inflation projections.
Inflation will only rise moderately, “supported by our monetary policy measures, the continuing economic expansion and the corresponding gradual absorption of economic slack,” ECB President Mario Draghi said.

Dressing for success is always a good idea.
Nowadays, that could mean wearing the same outfit to the office every day — a sort of “work uniform.”
It’s a concept that’s been adopted by plenty of successful people. Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama, and Steve Jobs have all put work uniforms to use.
As the New York Times reports, assembling a standard “work uniform” allows you to streamline your routine and eliminates one more potentially stressful choice from your daily life.
Experts say that making lots of small decisions like what to wear and what to eat throughout the day saps your mental energy for when you need to make more pressing decisions, a phenomenon called “decision fatigue.” This mental fatigue makes people more likely act impulsively or do nothing at all when more important matters come up.
Penny Geers, stylist and owner of Your Closet, Your Style, has some tips on assembling a work uniform of your own.
“Take note of your favorite go-to pieces,” she tells Business Insider. “Those will be the basis for what you need to purchase to make the full uniform.”
Most likely, you’ll need to buy at least three to five bottoms and no less than five tops.
“When purchasing, you need to think quality first,” Geers says. “If you typically wear t-shirts of a less-expensive, lower quality, you will need to invest in some that will withstand constant wear and laundering. Also, this collection is your work uniform only and should only be worn for that purpose.”
Breathable, easy-to-care-for materials like wool and cotton blends are also a must, as are wrinkle-resistant tops. Geers says to avoid incorporating hyper-trendy items into the ensemble. Those are perishable, as far as style goes, and you can always get your trendy fix by investing in accessories.
“Just because it’s a work uniform doesn’t mean it has to be boring or dull,” she says. “Add your own style through the accessories and the color of the items you choose. Shoes, belts, scarves, jewelry all play a major part in you creating and proudly showing your style and who you are.”
If you decide to go the route of adopting a work uniform, just remember that clothes are important. What you wear can alter how you think and feel. A California State University study found that formal-wear may make men feel more powerful, The Atlantic reports. What’s more, your choice of garments can also effect how others see you. As “Flex: Do Something Different” author and University of Hertfordshire professor Ben C. Fletcher wrote in Psychology Today, “Our clothes say a great deal about who we are and can signal a great deal of socially important things to others, even if the impression is actually unfounded.”
Most of all, make sure that your work uniform reflects your style and makes you feel comfortable.
“The trend towards a work uniform makes sense to me,” Geers tells Business Insider. “I believe that what you wear strongly affects how you project yourself whether in the workplace or socially. If you feel great in what you’re wearing that immediately comes through in how you carry yourself.”
