"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

KinkBNB can help hosts subsidize their spaces, while providing guests an outlet if they can't afford their own. The founders hope to appeal to a variety of tourists, from the couple taking a sexy staycation away from the kids to the newlyweds on a honeymoon who want a raunchy alternative to their hotel for the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's virtually impossible to travel if this is something that you do and it's part of your lifestyle,\" Drago said. \"You go across the country to your cousin's wedding and you don't know anyone else there who would understand. When you stay with one of our hosts, they're very likely to know the community and connect you to people that would be on the same wavelength.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KinkBNB's listings are currently available at overnight rates, but the men hope to launch an hourly payment option as well, so that guests don't have to make a full night's commitment if they need only a few hours of playtime. The company has also developed relationships with organizations like New York's Red Umbrella Project, an advocacy group for sex workers, and they believe that their hourly rates could appeal to those in the industry across the world. But, Drago adds, \"We're also going to pretty much say, 'Look, stay within the law and do what's legal, and that's different in every state and every country.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since KinkBNB's focus is solely on the sex-positive community, the site's founders don't see themselves as a direct competitor to Airbnb. Still, they feel fortunate to be a part of the same Bay Area tech scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are sex-positive communities throughout the world, but [San Francisco] has the greatest mix of tech and awareness,\" Galiotto said, and the city provides its share of unique networking opportunities. The company recently hosted an open house at one of its local listings, and it had a booth at the last Folsom Street Fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a host, Eve Minax thinks there are a lot of advantages to using the site to advertise her Potrero Hill playroom, for both herself and for her guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In my house, the residence is clean, there's not as much traffic as there would be at a hotel, and I'm going to treat you as a house guest,\" she said. \"It's like what you would want a B&B to be like, only for people who are able to be themselves, maybe even in ways they can't be at home.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

KinkBNB can help hosts subsidize their spaces, while providing guests an outlet if they can't afford their own. The founders hope to appeal to a variety of tourists, from the couple taking a sexy staycation away from the kids to the newlyweds on a honeymoon who want a raunchy alternative to their hotel for the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's virtually impossible to travel if this is something that you do and it's part of your lifestyle,\" Drago said. \"You go across the country to your cousin's wedding and you don't know anyone else there who would understand. When you stay with one of our hosts, they're very likely to know the community and connect you to people that would be on the same wavelength.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KinkBNB's listings are currently available at overnight rates, but the men hope to launch an hourly payment option as well, so that guests don't have to make a full night's commitment if they need only a few hours of playtime. The company has also developed relationships with organizations like New York's Red Umbrella Project, an advocacy group for sex workers, and they believe that their hourly rates could appeal to those in the industry across the world. But, Drago adds, \"We're also going to pretty much say, 'Look, stay within the law and do what's legal, and that's different in every state and every country.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since KinkBNB's focus is solely on the sex-positive community, the site's founders don't see themselves as a direct competitor to Airbnb. Still, they feel fortunate to be a part of the same Bay Area tech scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are sex-positive communities throughout the world, but [San Francisco] has the greatest mix of tech and awareness,\" Galiotto said, and the city provides its share of unique networking opportunities. The company recently hosted an open house at one of its local listings, and it had a booth at the last Folsom Street Fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a host, Eve Minax thinks there are a lot of advantages to using the site to advertise her Potrero Hill playroom, for both herself and for her guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In my house, the residence is clean, there's not as much traffic as there would be at a hotel, and I'm going to treat you as a house guest,\" she said. \"It's like what you would want a B&B to be like, only for people who are able to be themselves, maybe even in ways they can't be at home.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Russell says fear of the brave new world of robots is as old as the word itself. In fact, the word \"robot\" was coined in a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R.\">play \u003c/a>in which robots take over the world. From \"Frankenstein\" to \"The Terminator,\" that theme has run through the arts and popular culture ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Russell says for the most part, scientists didn’t take such concerns seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The normal response to those kinds of things is to say, 'Oh well, you know it’s a long way off in the future, so we don’t have to worry about this,' ” says Russell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But recently that attitude has changed. In the past few years, scientists have been more vocal about the dangers artificial intelligence could pose to humanity. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking told the BBC that he thinks the “development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And earlier this year Hawking and hundreds of AI researchers signed an\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://futureoflife.org/AI/open_letter\"> open letter\u003c/a>, saying that if the industry doesn’t start building safeguards into artificial intelligence it could spell doom for humanity. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who also signed the letter, gave \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/how-elon-musks-10-million-donation-will-help-keep-us-safe-from-artificial-intelligence-2015-7\">$10 million\u003c/a> to the cause. He went so far as to say that artificial intelligence \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">could be\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> humanity’s biggest “\u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/27/elon-musk-artificial-intelligence-ai-biggest-existential-threat\">existential threat\u003c/a>.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10734694\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-800x579.jpg\" alt='Physicist Stephen Hawking has said the \"development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\"' width=\"800\" height=\"579\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10734694\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-800x579.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-400x289.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-1440x1042.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-1180x854.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-960x695.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Physicist Stephen Hawking has said the \"development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\" \u003ccite>(Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Russell also signed the letter, but he says his view is less apocalyptic. He says that, until now, the field of artificial intelligence has been singularly focused on giving robots the ability to make “high-quality” decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the moment, we don’t know how to give the robot what you might call human values\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">,” he says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Russell believes that as this problem becomes clearer, it’s only natural that people will start to focus their energy on solving it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he says, not to be flip, but nobody’s going to buy a robot that cooks a cat. So it’s just a matter of time before tech companies, universities and the government start pouring resources into programming robots with morals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In some sense [the robots'] only purpose in existing is to help us realize our values, and perhaps it'll make people better,\" says Russell.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Russell says fear of the brave new world of robots is as old as the word itself. In fact, the word \"robot\" was coined in a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R.\">play \u003c/a>in which robots take over the world. From \"Frankenstein\" to \"The Terminator,\" that theme has run through the arts and popular culture ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Russell says for the most part, scientists didn’t take such concerns seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The normal response to those kinds of things is to say, 'Oh well, you know it’s a long way off in the future, so we don’t have to worry about this,' ” says Russell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But recently that attitude has changed. In the past few years, scientists have been more vocal about the dangers artificial intelligence could pose to humanity. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking told the BBC that he thinks the “development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And earlier this year Hawking and hundreds of AI researchers signed an\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://futureoflife.org/AI/open_letter\"> open letter\u003c/a>, saying that if the industry doesn’t start building safeguards into artificial intelligence it could spell doom for humanity. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who also signed the letter, gave \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/how-elon-musks-10-million-donation-will-help-keep-us-safe-from-artificial-intelligence-2015-7\">$10 million\u003c/a> to the cause. He went so far as to say that artificial intelligence \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">could be\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> humanity’s biggest “\u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/27/elon-musk-artificial-intelligence-ai-biggest-existential-threat\">existential threat\u003c/a>.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10734694\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-800x579.jpg\" alt='Physicist Stephen Hawking has said the \"development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\"' width=\"800\" height=\"579\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10734694\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-800x579.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-400x289.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-1440x1042.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-1180x854.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-960x695.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Physicist Stephen Hawking has said the \"development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\" \u003ccite>(Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Russell also signed the letter, but he says his view is less apocalyptic. He says that, until now, the field of artificial intelligence has been singularly focused on giving robots the ability to make “high-quality” decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the moment, we don’t know how to give the robot what you might call human values\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">,” he says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Russell believes that as this problem becomes clearer, it’s only natural that people will start to focus their energy on solving it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he says, not to be flip, but nobody’s going to buy a robot that cooks a cat. So it’s just a matter of time before tech companies, universities and the government start pouring resources into programming robots with morals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In some sense [the robots'] only purpose in existing is to help us realize our values, and perhaps it'll make people better,\" says Russell.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This technology has been around for over 100 years, and it wasn’t built for what we’re trying to use it for today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fiber-optic cables made of glass, in contrast, use lasers to transmit information at rates close to the speed of light. The company says: \"Google Fiber is capable of delivering speeds up to 1 gigabit per second -- that’s up to 1,000 megabits per second.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare that with the average Internet speed in the United States today, which is 11.9 Mbps, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.stateoftheinternet.com/resources-connectivity-2015-q1-state-of-the-internet-report.html\" target=\"_blank\">recent report\u003c/a> from cloud service provider Akamai.
