Today's Story Highlights

Taking the AI Approach to US Problem-Solving
At an IBM briefing on its joint AI project with MIT, it struck me that
some of the training concepts could improve the quality of political
decisions to shift attention more to fixing problems rather than using
them as weapons against opponents. I'm not talking about using
artificial intelligence systems directly. I'm suggesting we apply
methods similar to those used to train them.

Multi-Cloud Strategy May Pose Higher Security Risk: Study
Users of a multi-cloud storage strategy may be twice as likely to face a
security breach as those that use hybrid or single clouds, suggests a
report from UK-based security specialist Nominet. Fifty-two percent of
survey respondents who adopted a multi-cloud approach suffered a data
breach over the past 12 months, compared to 24 percent of hybrid cloud
users, and 24 percent of single-cloud users.

Amazon Trying Out Hand-Scanning Payment System: Report
Amazon is testing scanners that can identify a human hand to use as a
payment method for in-store purchases. The company plans to introduce
"Orville" to some Whole Foods stores by the beginning of 2020, and later
expand it to all locations in the United States. Employees at Amazon's
New York offices are said to be using the technology to buy items from
specially equipped vending machines.

Sleep Monitoring Slated for Apple Watch
Apple reportedly has been developing sleep tracking functionality for
the Apple Watch. The new "Time in Bed Tracking" feature will let users
who wear the Apple Watch to bed track their sleep patterns. Consumers
who have multiple Apple Watches can designate one for wearing in bed. he
"Burrito" feature will let Apple Watch track a user's quality of sleep,
including movement, heart rate and noises.

The Beauty of Progressive Web Apps
As more Web traffic comes from mobile devices -- particularly traffic to
e-commerce sites -- it's becoming ever more important for businesses to
have content that loads onto small screens easily, quickly and
effortlessly. To some degree, native mobile apps until now have filled
that need, but they must be downloaded, and their functionality may have
significant limitations.
