Today's Story Highlights

Exclusive Interview with A Better World President MarySue Hansell
"We saw that there was a lack of kindness, a lack of empathy ... and we
thought it would be nice if we could use technology to do something
about it," said MarySue Hansell, president of A Better World. "We
thought Facebook offered a wonderful opportunity to use a large
technical platform to create a virtual world that would have a big
impact, with a game that emphasizes positive thinking."

MariaDB Offers a Bigger Box of Transactional Tools
MariaDB last week announced the availability of MariaDB TX 2.0, a fully
functional open source transactional database solution for modern
application development and enterprise use cases. MariaDB TX offers a
comprehensive package of technology and services, including feature-rich
new releases of MariaDB Server and MariaDB MaxScale, which close the
functional gap between open source and proprietary offerings.

Will Future Autonomous Cars Fly Like Birds or Tunnel Like Moles?
It is kind of amazing how much advancement is going on in the autonomous
car space. A year ago, we were mostly talking about cars that seemed
comparatively boring, because they just drove on the surface. How quaint
-- how 2016. Now when we mention "boring," we may be talking about Elon
Musk's new underground tunneling idea. However, a little company called
"Airbus" disagrees.

Kaspersky to US: Check Our Source Code
Cybersecurity expert Eugene Kaspersky reportedly has volunteered to turn
over his company's software source code to allay fears about possible
ties with the Russian government. Kaspersky made the offer public at
CeBIT Australia last week. Some U.S. officials have expressed concerns
that Kaspersky Lab might have a close working relationship with the
Russian government.
