White House Announces Tech Tariffs, Investment Restrictions on China
The White House announced this morning a plan to levy a 25% tariff on $50 billion worth of Chinese tech goods — with the exact list to be announced next month — as well as tech investment limits for Chinese nationals and entities. From a report: It also plans to pursue litigation at the World Trade Organization relating to Chinese intellectual property abuses. The big picture: It’s a show of force that has surprised some sources close to the White House who believed Trump would defer any aggression towards China until after the North Korea summit. A source close to the White House who has a keen understanding of the internal dynamics on China told me that this is an “initial move in a long negotiation that shows the Chinese Trump is very serious — and a move to balance the criticism that he was soft on ZTE.”

Are autonomous trucks going to save the industry or destroy it?

Driverless technologies are disrupting transportation around the globe. Though most experts disagree on when humans will be replaced behind the steering wheel by artificial intelligence, few doubt that it will happen.
Until now, passenger cars have taken center stage in the transformation from driven-to-driverless. It makes perfect sense; people movers are currently at the heart of the “Mobility as a Service” business model popular within the transportation sector and taking the human driver out of a bus, cab, ride-share, whatever form of mobility service it might be, is the quickest path to profitability.
But the more the industry experiments within MaaS, the more it feels that the car’s 18-wheeled counterpart—like the tractor-trailer or long-haul truck—will make the most immediate socio-economic impact. It’s a matter of the early bird gets the worm, as the saying goes.

Cartoon Character D&D Character Sheets From The 80's
Victims what?! We may never know.
This is a series of cartoon character Dungeons & Dragons character sheets as printed in Dragon magazine between 1981 – 1982. Those…look like some pretty unique stats. Now I’m not saying I wouldn’t play as one of these characters, but I am saying I refuse to play with any Dungeon Master who won’t let me build a character with all maxed stats that can one-hit kill most enemies and steal all my allies’ best loot. “You sound fun to be around.” Oh man, you should have come to my Memorial Day barbecue yesterday. It….was only me. I’ve got tons of leftover potato salad if you wanna swing by my cubicle for a handful.
Keep going for seven more, and I’m sorry somebody cut the descriptions out of most of them, I don’t know why anybody would do that except to spite us.

How Sony & Third Parties Attempted to Capitalize on Monster Hunter's Absence on PSV
VGChartz: While the PSP definitely got off to a flying start in terms of sales thanks to the promise of console quality gaming on the go, things took a downturn in the following years due to a variety of factors including increasing competition from the DS & phones, and a lack of quality exclusives. In Japan, one franchise injected new life into the little handheld turning it from a decent seller into the must-have machine in the country – this was, of course, Monster Hunter. Capcom’s…
