Today's Story Highlights

UCSF Researchers Synthesize Speech From Brain Waves
Researchers led by speech neuroscientist Edward Chang at the University
of California San Francisco have achieved success at decoding speech
attempts in real time by reading the activity in the speech centers of
test subjects' brains. Three persons capable of normal speech, who were
being treated for epilepsy at the UCSF Medical Center, participated in
the study.

some 100 million people in the U.S. and another 6 million in Canada. The

Apple to Jump on 5G Bandwagon in 2020
Apple's 2019 crop of iPhones haven't been released yet but there's
already talk about its 2020 plans, largely because that will be the
first year the company's mobile lineup will support 5G. Ming-Chi Kuo, an
Apple analyst known for his accurate predictions, believes all three
iPhones introduced in 2020 will support 5G. Kuo gave three reasons for
Apple's decision.

GitHub Blocks Devs in US-Sanctioned Regions
GitHub is blocking users in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria
from accessing its services to comply with U.S. trade control laws. The
Microsoft-owned company disclosed the action on a support page as a
courtesy, noting that GitHub users ultimately are responsible for
ensuring that their use of GitHub's products and services complies with
all applicable laws and regulations.

Tesla's Failings Overshadow Its Impressive Successes
Launching a new car company and getting it to global scale doesn't
happen often, and it has been a long time since there has been a
successful launch of one in the United States. Tesla really stands alone
as the only new U.S. car company of scale since American Motors and
Studebaker failed decades ago, when three auto companies then dominated
the U.S. industry.
