TECH. SpaceX’s Hyperloop successfully goes from 0 to 400 MPH in two seconds: “What the gaggle of investors and journalists saw from metal risers planted in the desert north of Las Vegas was a lot more rudimentary than artists’ rendering of the future, however. Instead it was more a proof of concept, much like those first airborne moments shared by the Wright Brothers in their airplane. A bare-metal sled — not a tube — rocketed down a track, with the sled elevated slightly by magnetic levitation technology. It accelerated at 2 g-force before hitting a patch of sand 100 yards down the line.”

RONAN FARROW. Talks about the danger of silence, his sister’s sexual abuse, and his father Woody Allen ahead of the premiere of Allen’s Cafe Society at Cannes: “Tonight, the Cannes Film Festival kicks off with a new Woody Allen film. There will be press conferences and a red-carpet walk by my father and his wife (my sister). He’ll have his stars at his side — Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Steve Carell, Jesse Eisenberg. They can trust that the press won’t ask them the tough questions. It’s not the time, it’s not the place, it’s just not done. That kind of silence isn’t just wrong. It’s dangerous. It sends a message to victims that it’s not worth the anguish of coming forward. It sends a message about who we are as a society, what we’ll overlook, who we’ll ignore, who matters and who doesn’t.”
