So you can communicate without waking up your sleeping infant, turns out. Though phones work for this too.
Stop worrying about waking up the kids with your noise, and they'll soon learn it's normal (even comforting) and sleep right through it.

The bunk bed concept often surfaces but see https://travel.stackexchange.com/q/21713/4188
Given the huge improvements in air travel safety over the past few decades, it probably makes sense to relax evacuation and seatbelt requirements a little bit in order to enable experimentation with bunks and other non-standard layouts.

Two years ago they would have been finding a way to add blockchain.
It's good stuff to keep the partners sharp though, see if they spot the mistakes.

I'm sure somewhere on Earth right now there is already a startup based on block chain storage of convolutional neural network learning face recognition.
I don’t suspect this is true, as VCs would quickly go bankrupt investing enormous amounts of money into such a startup
That won't stop the fund managers from making out like bandits, the carry may be nil but the management fees will more than make up for that. Beware of investing in funds where the fund managers do not have substantial skin in the game.

At the very least Nihon Koutsuu (日本交通) [1] does this. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihon_Kotsu
I also a similar message in a Koutsuu but it was something about "Watching you face to see if you find the content engaging". I guess they think they can keep tailing the information to you until you can't seem to look away? Very creepy.
Any improvement to airline seats is welcome, but this won't address the biggest comfort issue for me which is the prolonged pressure on the posterior caused hours of sitting. I feel like airplane seats could benefit by using elements of office chair design.
If that's your main issue, you're very lucky... I wish I could worry about my posterior, but the constant pressure on the knees by the seat in front and the desperate search for a position where my legs will fit keep all my attention. Sleeping is a pipe dream, of course. When I see headlines like this I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Airlines need a seat pitch regulation. (and before anyone mentions that I could…
Someone mentioned in some other thread there is some airlines looking into having seats that when reclining, instead of pushing the backrest into the space behind you, your seat slides forward, and thereby tilting the backrest.
But this was met with great protests from others who think crushing long legged people´s knees is a god given right.
"If you don't want your knees crushed, you should have paid extra for one of the four seats with more leg room" "they were already taken? Tough luck"

To be fair, everybody who has Alexa already has a phone constantly with them everywhere. So it's just one extra microphone, not something completely different.
