ee How the real-life Iron Man smashed his own speed record | On Location By www.wired.com Published On :: Thu, 23 Jan 2020 08:55:55 +0000 Since 2016, inventor and entrepreneur Richard Browning has dedicated himself to one ambitious mission: creating the perfect jet suit. The 'real-life Iron Man' founded Gravity Industries in 2017 to develop, test and produce his suit. In his first record attempt he hit a top speed of 32.02 miles per hour and in November 2019 he set out to smash that record with a more advanced version of his unique suit. Before his attempt, we spoke to Richard about his journey to creating his suit and the changes he's made to help him in his record attempt. He also spoke of his plans for the future, which include selling suits to enthusiasts (it takes just a day to learn how to use them) and even the possibility of a racing series.

ee What If... We gave everyone free money with UBI? | What If By www.wired.com Published On :: Wed, 01 Apr 2020 11:00:09 +0000 What is Universal Basic Income (UBI) and how could it help us deal with the coronavirus outbreak? What if... we gave people free money? The idea of a basic income is that everybody would receive a modest amount paid each week or each month without conditions, paid equally to every man and every woman with a smaller amount to pay for every child. Advocates for Universal Basic such as Guy Standing, co-founder of the Basic Income Earth Network, argue that it would be the ideal response to the crisis, but that it would also bring huge long term benefits, which he explains in this video.
