The new system retrofits workers' stations with advanced cameras that can automatically scan items that workers hold in their hands. AI is learning to discern and interpret people's hand movements to recognize when a person places an item inside a shelf slot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kind of innovation is a controversial topic in retail, where layoffs are rampant, just as automation is reshaping the workforce. Economic research \u003ca href=\"https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610005/every-study-we-could-find-on-what-automation-will-do-to-jobs-in-one-chart/\">is divided\u003c/a> on how much exactly AI will eliminate or create jobs, especially for lower-income Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Amazon has been hiring people by the hundreds of thousands for its highly automated warehouses. Its workforce has ballooned to\u003ca href=\"https://ir.aboutamazon.com/static-files/28f23db2-79d5-4aa0-9acc-ef6413e1bafe\"> 613,300\u003c/a> in a matter of a few years. Warehousing overall has been one of the fastest-growing industries, even though a lot of that work is part-time or temporary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Amazon has launched \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/01/22/579640565/amazons-cashier-less-seattle-grocery-opens-to-the-public\">AI-powered stores\u003c/a> that eliminate the need for a cashier, stoking fears about the future of jobs like these industrywide. Plus, as Porter will point out, scientists have long been working on robots that can imitate human hands with their grip. For work like packing in warehouses, an agile robotic hand could erase one key edge that human workers now have over machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Porter, modern automation is simply in the latest chapter of industrial progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Industrial automation and robotics are here. They've been here for a long time,\" Porter says. \"I think what's novel or hard in the logistics space and for Amazon is just the diversity and selection of inventory that we have and the scale at which we're doing it.

The new system retrofits workers' stations with advanced cameras that can automatically scan items that workers hold in their hands. AI is learning to discern and interpret people's hand movements to recognize when a person places an item inside a shelf slot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kind of innovation is a controversial topic in retail, where layoffs are rampant, just as automation is reshaping the workforce. Economic research \u003ca href=\"https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610005/every-study-we-could-find-on-what-automation-will-do-to-jobs-in-one-chart/\">is divided\u003c/a> on how much exactly AI will eliminate or create jobs, especially for lower-income Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Amazon has been hiring people by the hundreds of thousands for its highly automated warehouses. Its workforce has ballooned to\u003ca href=\"https://ir.aboutamazon.com/static-files/28f23db2-79d5-4aa0-9acc-ef6413e1bafe\"> 613,300\u003c/a> in a matter of a few years.

Plus, as Porter will point out, scientists have long been working on robots that can imitate human hands with their grip. For work like packing in warehouses, an agile robotic hand could erase one key edge that human workers now have over machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Porter, modern automation is simply in the latest chapter of industrial progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Industrial automation and robotics are here.

The app considers the weight and number of packages headed to the same neighborhoods and whether packages can fit in one of the available cars. The app even recommends the order of packing boxes into a car for the most efficient delivery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One big challenge for Flex drivers is parking. Amazon's app does not guide where to leave cars while dropping off a package. However, Amazon does factor how long it took other drivers to deliver to an address in its estimates. AI's timing estimates also consider traffic and types of building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A single-family home is fairly straightforward, whereas if it's a commercial building or an apartment complex, that gets a little bit more difficult,\" Tomay says. \"It's not always obvious where the unit is, or are we taking it to a mailroom or receptionist?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11672953/what-americans-told-us-about-online-shopping-says-a-lot-about-amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Americans Told Us About Online Shopping Says A Lot About Amazon\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As Sibay describes it, when a delivery is a one-hour race, every minute counts.

They were dropped off in the tony enclave in small groups by Mexican immigration officials who had been alerted of the migrants' arrival in nearby Mexicali. But upon their arrival they were met with anger from local residents who said they should have been warned by local authorities that LGBT people would be renting the four-bedroom house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a peaceful neighborhood and we don't want any trouble,\" Jose Roberto Martinez told Mejia.

He noted at a press conference on Capitol Hill that they're \"not unfamiliar with each other\" based on their experience serving in top positions in Congress. He said, \"We'll probably have a lot more dealings with each other in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McConnell warned House Democrats about blowback to aggressive investigations of the president, recalling his own party's investigations of President Bill Clinton in the 1990s that he said backfired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We impeached him, his numbers went up, we went down,\" McConnell said Wednesday. \"Democrats will have to decide just how much presidential harassment is good strategy. I'm not sure it'll work for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked again about this theme, McConnell said: \"Presidential harassment was something we deeply engaged in, and it improved the president's numbers and tanked ours.

Bush during her previous term as speaker of the House, and wrapped her prepared remarks by quoting former GOP President Ronald Reagan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that she spoke with Trump on election night, and that they had specifically discussed working together on the issue of infrastructure spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump had also told reporters Wednesday that he saw that there was an opportunity for a \"beautiful bipartisan solution\" on various issues — but warned that any negotiations could be compromised by aggressive Democratic investigations into his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Democrat plans to run again for speaker of the House, a position she held from 2007 to 2011, despite calls from many in her party for fresh leadership. She reiterated Wednesday that she felt confident she would receive sufficient support to ascend to the role.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\"We will drain the swamp of dark interest money in our elections.\" \u003ccite>House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Democrats plan to act as a check on President Trump and his administration, starting with votes on campaign finance reform and government oversight legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yesterday's election was not only a vote to protect America's health care, it was a vote to restore the health of our democracy,\" Pelosi said, adding that voters acted \"to put an end to unchecked GOP control of Washington.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats \"do not intend to abandon or relinquish\" their investigative and oversight responsibilities when their majority is seated in the new Congress in January, she told reporters. \"This doesn't mean we'll go look for a fight, but when we see the need to go forward, we will.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi told supporters Tuesday night that Democrats will take steps to restore confidence in American political institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will drain the swamp of dark interest money in our elections,\" Pelosi said. \"Because when we do, Americans have greater confidence in everything their Congress works on, from health care to taxes to guns to clean air to clean water for our children, when they know that the people's interest will prevail.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even as Trump praised Pelosi and opened the door to collaboration, GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy officially launched his campaign to lead House Republicans on a platform of confrontation, warning that Pelosi threatened their party's legislative accomplishments:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Each one of those successes will now be under attack with a Pelosi-led House. We have a responsibility to protect our constituents from higher taxes and increasing government control over their lives. And we need to lay the groundwork to regain the majority so that we can continue working alongside President Trump to fulfill our promise to fundamentally change Washington.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Conservative Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan has also announced that he would be running to lead Republicans in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he spoke with Pelosi on Wednesday morning. He noted at a press conference on Capitol Hill that they're \"not unfamiliar with each other\" based on their experience serving in top positions in Congress. He said, \"We'll probably have a lot more dealings with each other in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McConnell warned House Democrats about blowback to aggressive investigations of the president, recalling his own party's investigations of President Bill Clinton in the 1990s that he said backfired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We’ve seen a surge in first-time candidates, especially women and minorities. In the past several midterms, the party in power was relatively complacent compared with the party hoping to be in power. Heading into Election Day, Democrats have an enthusiasm edge, but Republicans have been getting steadily amped up, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, President Trump has embraced the referendum on himself in a way other presidents have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a sign of tribal divisions that are driving much of what has happened in the 2018 campaign, and voters will resolve what remains to be seen — the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are five questions that could be answered on election night.

What’s unclear is whether the blue wave will be big enough to get Democrats the 23-seat net pickup they need to take back the House majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gender gap is huge and working in their favor. Independent voters have broken strongly for the Democrats, and Democrats are raising tremendous amounts of money — in both small contributions to individual candidates and from big outside donors, like billionaire Michael Bloomberg. The size of this “green wave” of cash has surprised and worried Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in order to make changes moving forward, Democrats must do more than just take back the House, they must do well in gubernatorial races and in the battle for state legislatures across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is key because 2020 is a census year, and redistricting is right around the corner. So Democrats want to be able to exercise some control over the state-based process of drawing congressional and state legislative district boundaries — a process they’ve been effectively shut out of in many crucial states since their big losses in 2010. That has provided a big structural advantage to the GOP ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2.

The president has been campaigning plenty in those places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those states, where incumbent Democratic senators are fighting for their political lives, the key voter is a blue-collar white man.

In only one, North Dakota, do polls show the Democrat, Heidi Heitkamp, consistently trailing by a significant margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democrats have also struggled to pull ahead in states where they had hoped to pick up seats — Nevada, the only state that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 that has an incumbent Republican senator up for re-election, is still within the margin of error, as is the open seat in Arizona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Tennessee, Democrats had been hopeful about Phil Bredesen, a moderate, pro-business former governor. But Bredesen has fallen behind his Republican opponent, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, in the most recent polls. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz also remains the favorite for re-election, despite the energetic and well-funded campaign of Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democrats’ goal is to hold their own if they can, limiting their losses, so they’re not out of striking distance in the next two cycles, when more Republican senators are up for re-election in more purple states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3.

But Republicans are now worrying about the Midwest — once a source of Trump’s greatest strength. GOP candidates are struggling in races up and down the ballot in those two states. And in the states that vaulted Trump to the White House — Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — they’re not doing much better and often worse.
