CNN BUSINESS | Mercedes’ new touchscreen system takes up the whole dashboard
(CNN) – Automakers have, for years, been offering larger and
larger touchscreens in vehicle dashboards. Ram trucks, for instance, come with
12-inch screens, measured diagonally, while the new Ford Mustang Mach-E
electric SUV has a screen that measures an impressive 15.5-inches.
Mercedes, however, has taken the trend to a whole new level.
Its new MBUX Hyperscreen covers almost the entire dashboard in front of the
driver and passenger. It can’t even be measured diagonally because it
isn’t a rectangle. It’s curved. Holes allow air vents to pass through. MBUX,
which stands for Mercedes-Benz User Experience, is Mercedes’ name for the
touchscreen software in its cars. —read

CNN BUSINESS | Democracy is under attack. And Wall Street is sounding the alarm
New York
(CNN Business) – Business
leaders, investors and economists are sounding the alarm about the state of democracy in the
aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.
The fear is that President Donald Trump’s efforts to sow doubt about
the political system will harm the fragile recovery by causing social unrest,
amplifying political division and paralyzing Washington when it needs to focus
on rebuilding the economy from the worst pandemic in a
century.
Longer term, the attacks on democracy could backfire by eroding confidence in
the rule of law and cherished institutions that have made the United States the world’s strongest economy. —read

CNN health | Why winter weather makes it easier to catch a cold or flu
(The Conversation) – Many of us have heard: “Don’t go outside
without a coat; you’ll catch a cold.”
That’s not exactly true. As with many things, the reality is more complicated.
Here’s the distinction: Being cold isn’t why you get a cold. But it is true that
cold weather makes it easier to get the cold or flu. It is still too early to
tell how weather impacts the Covid-19 virus, but scientists are starting to
think it behaves differently than cold and flu viruses.
As an associate professor of nursing with a background in
public health, I’m asked about this all the time. So here’s a look at what
actually happens.
Many viruses, including rhinovirus — the usual culprit in the common cold —
and influenza, remain infectious longer and replicate faster in colder
temperatures. —read
