Amid a fierce debate among President Donald Trump’s supporters over H-1B visas for foreign workers, federal authorities have conducted face-to-face interviews mandated for renewals in visa holders in their home countries. Technology companies say the visa (for professionally skilled workers and requires renewal every three years) is key to staying competitive, but critics have been used to curb wages and replace American workers.

Dee-Ann Durbin Delivery drones are very fast so you can zip pints of ice cream into the customer’s driveway before they melt. However, the long-standing technology has slowed off in the US. More than six years after the Federal Aviation Administration approved commercial home delivery with drones, the service has been limited primarily to several suburbs and rural areas. That could change soon. Last week, the FAA proposed new rules for businesses to easily fly drones outside the operator’s gaze, thus exceeding longer distances.

By Michael Lietke Wednesday YouTube will begin testing a new ageing system in the United States, which relies on artificial intelligence to distinguish between adults and minors based on the type of video they are watching.
