Android Nougat now the most-used version, Oreo crosses 1 per cent share in latest distribution numbers
As per the latest distribution chart, Android Oreo (8.0 and 8.1) is present in 1.1 per cent of all active Android devices. This is slightly better than last month where Oreo accounted for only 0.7 per cent of all active devices. A lot more smartphones in recent weeks have started receiving the Oreo update including. the OnePlus 5T, Moto X4 and Honor 8 Pro among others. It isn't all that surprising considering the time it takes for OEMs to push out new Android updates. For a lot of people still, the version that comes out-of-the-box is usually the only version they ever get.

The US Needs an Artificial Intelligence Strategy—Just Like France, China, and the EU
French President Emmanuel Macron?s recent visit to Washington highlighted how differently our two nations are thinking about the future. In March, the French government unveiled a national strategy for artificial intelligence technology that has a clear goal: make France a global leader in AI. In the last year, China and the European Union have taken similar steps. If we?re serious about having a prosperous economy for decades to come, the United States should do the same.WIRED OPINIONABOUTUS Representative John K. Delaney (D-MD) (@RepJohnDelaney) is the founder of the AI Caucus and is the only former CEO of a publicly traded company in the House of Representatives.The French strategy?ambitiously titled ?For a Meaningful Artificial Intelligence??was outlined in a comprehensive 147-page document authored by world-renowned mathematician and a member of French Parliament C?dric Villani. Importantly, the report shows the French government anticipating AI?s impact on the job market and attempting to get ahead of change. so that their citizens can benefit. As President Macron recently told WIRED, ?I think artificial intelligence will disrupt all the different business models and it?s the next disruption to come. So I want to be part of it. Otherwise I will just be subjected to this disruption without creating jobs in this country.?France?s national strategy also reveals that Macron?s government is wrestling with how to ensure that AI supports inclusivity and diversity, and to make certain that its implementation is transparent. The French aren?t just theorizing; they?re taking action. France plans to invest 1.5 billion euros (almost $1.8 billion dollars) in the next five years in artificial intelligence research. The French are looking to create their own AI ecosystem, train the next generation of scientists and engineers, and make sure that their workforce is prepared for an automated future.France isn?t alone. Last month, the European Union?s executive branch recommended its member states increase their public and private sector investment in AI. It also pledged billions in direct research spending. Meanwhile, China laid out its AI plan for global dominance last year, a plan that has also been backed up with massive investment. China?s goal is to lead the world in AI technology by 2030. Around the world, our global economic competitors are taking action on artificial intelligence.It?s therefore striking that the United States doesn?t have a national artificial intelligence plan. Despite the recent private meeting with tech executives at the White House, the administration has taken little action in this area.That?s why last year I joined with a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the House and Senate in introducing the Future of AI Act, the first bill of its kind to be introduced in Congress. The bill looks at some of the same key questions that the French have examined, because when you zoom out it is clear that these concerns are universal: How can we make sure that workers and society will benefit? How can we encourage and support economy-boosting and job-creating research? And how can we ensure that AI will be implemented ethically and without bias, while also protecting user privacy?The legislation creates an advisory committee at the Department of Commerce composed of scientists, engineers, ethicists, and civil liberties experts, as well as representatives from labor groups, technology companies, and federal officials. The committee will have 18 months to issue recommendations on how to ensure that artificial intelligence is a positive for the country.The United States needs a full assessment of the state of American research and technology, and what the short and long-term problems and opportunities are. The Future of AI Act, along with the work of the AI Caucus?a bipartisan group I founded?are all about starting the conversation. Right now, in the United States there?s an incredible discussion taking place about AI, automation, the future of work, and privacy?but all of that is taking place in the private sector, academia, and think tanks. Government is woefully behind. There?s no focus on the future.The strength of the United States' private sector makes us the envy of the world, but without a national strategy and increased public investment, we risk having a few companies control the most elemental science of the future. A healthy marketplace needs competition and innovation.Elected officials need to look at the facts and work to find common ground. Whether you are a conservative or a progressive, this future is coming. As I look at where the world is headed, I believe that we need to expand public investment in research, encourage collaboration between the public and private sector, and make sure that AI is deployed in a way that is wholly consistent with our values and with existing laws.Policymakers must understand that machine learning and automation's impact on the economy and job market will mirror that of globalization. The US needs a plan to prepare the workforce to not only survive this change but thrive. The US also needs a much more prominent public debate over the policies around artificial intelligence, since this will be a massively influential technology. Today, we?re not even having the discussion. There?s no plan for where we want to go. China and France already have a plan. If the US doesn't act, we?re in danger of falling behind.WIRED Opinion publishes pieces written by outside contributors and represents a wide range of viewpoints.

Asthma - Symptoms and causes
OverviewAsthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance. For others, it can be a major problem that interferes with daily activities and may lead to a life-threatening asthma attack.Asthma can't be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled. Because asthma often changes over time, it's important that you work with your doctor to track your signs and symptoms and adjust treatment as needed. SymptomsAsthma symptoms vary from person to person. You may have infrequent asthma attacks, have symptoms only at certain times — such as when exercising — or have symptoms all the time.Asthma signs and symptoms include:Shortness of breath Chest tightness or pain Trouble sleeping caused by shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing A whistling or wheezing sound when exhaling (wheezing is a common sign of asthma in children) Coughing or wheezing attacks that are worsened by a respiratory virus, such as a cold or the fluSigns that your asthma is probably worsening include:Asthma signs and symptoms that are more frequent and bothersome Increasing difficulty breathing (measurable with a peak flow meter, a device used to check how well your lungs are working) The need to use a quick-relief inhaler more oftenFor some people, asthma signs and symptoms flare up in certain situations:Exercise-induced asthma, which may be worse when the air is cold and dry Occupational asthma, triggered by workplace irritants such as chemical fumes, gases or dust Allergy-induced asthma, triggered by airborne substances, such as pollen, mold spores, cockroach waste or particles of skin and dried saliva shed by pets (pet dander)When to see a doctorSeek emergency treatmentSevere asthma attacks can be life-threatening. Work with your doctor to determine what to do when your signs and symptoms worsen — and when you need emergency treatment. Signs of an asthma emergency include:Rapid worsening of shortness of breath or wheezing No improvement even after using a quick-relief inhaler, such as albuterol Shortness of breath when you are doing minimal physical activityContact your doctorSee your doctor:If you think you have asthma. If you have frequent coughing or wheezing that lasts more than a few days or any other signs or symptoms of asthma, see your doctor. Treating asthma early may prevent long-term lung damage and help keep the condition from worsening over time. To monitor your asthma after diagnosis. If you know you have asthma, work with your doctor to keep it under control. Good long-term control helps you feel better from day to day and can prevent a life-threatening asthma attack. If your asthma symptoms get worse. Contact your doctor right away if your medication doesn't seem to ease your symptoms or if you need to use your quick-relief inhaler more often. Don't try to solve the problem by taking more medication without consulting your doctor. Overusing asthma medication can cause side effects and may make your asthma worse. To review your treatment. Asthma often changes over time. Meet with your doctor regularly to discuss your symptoms and make any needed treatment adjustments. CausesIt isn't clear why some people get asthma and others don't, but it's probably due to a combination of environmental and genetic (inherited) factors.Asthma triggersExposure to various irritants and substances that trigger allergies (allergens) can trigger signs and symptoms of asthma. Asthma triggers are different from person to person and can include:Airborne substances, such as pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander or particles of cockroach waste Respiratory infections, such as the common cold Physical activity (exercise-induced asthma) Cold air Air pollutants and irritants, such as smoke Certain medications, including beta blockers, aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen (Aleve) Strong emotions and stress Sulfites and preservatives added to some types of foods and beverages, including shrimp, dried fruit, processed potatoes, beer and wine Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which stomach acids back up into your throatRisk factorsA number of factors are thought to increase your chances of developing asthma. These include:Having a blood relative (such as a parent or sibling) with asthma Having another allergic condition, such as atopic dermatitis or allergic rhinitis (hay fever) Being overweight Being a smoker Exposure to secondhand smoke Exposure to exhaust fumes or other types of pollution Exposure to occupational triggers, such as chemicals used in farming, hairdressing and manufacturingComplicationsAsthma complications include:Signs and symptoms that interfere with sleep, work or recreational activities Sick days from work or school during asthma flare-ups Permanent narrowing of the bronchial tubes (airway remodeling) that affects how well you can breathe Emergency room visits and hospitalizations for severe asthma attacks Side effects from long-term use of some medications used to stabilize severe asthmaProper treatment makes a big difference in preventing both short-term and long-term complications caused by asthma. PreventionWhile there's no way to prevent asthma, by working together, you and your doctor can design a step-by-step plan for living with your condition and preventing asthma attacks. Follow your asthma action plan. With your doctor and health care team, write a detailed plan for taking medications and managing an asthma attack. Then be sure to follow your plan. Asthma is an ongoing condition that needs regular monitoring and treatment. Taking control of your treatment can make you feel more in control of your life in general. Get vaccinated for influenza and pneumonia. Staying current with vaccinations can prevent flu and pneumonia from triggering asthma flare-ups. Identify and avoid asthma triggers. A number of outdoor allergens and irritants — ranging from pollen and mold to cold air and air pollution — can trigger asthma attacks. Find out what causes or worsens your asthma, and take steps to avoid those triggers. Monitor your breathing. You may learn to recognize warning signs of an impending attack, such as slight coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath. But because your lung function may decrease before. you notice any signs or symptoms, regularly measure and record your peak airflow with a home peak flow meter. Identify and treat attacks early. If you act quickly, you're less likely to have a severe attack. You also won't need as much medication to control your symptoms. When your peak flow measurements decrease and alert you to an oncoming attack, take your medication as instructed and immediately stop any activity that may have triggered the attack. If your symptoms don't improve, get medical help as directed in your action plan. Take your medication as prescribed. Just because your asthma seems to be improving, don't change anything without first talking to your doctor. It's a good idea to bring your medications with you to each doctor visit, so your doctor can double-check that you're using your medications correctly and taking the right dose. Pay attention to increasing quick-relief inhaler use. If you find yourself relying on your quick-relief inhaler, such as albuterol, your asthma isn't under control. See your doctor about adjusting your treatment.
