Things I learned lately - 14 Oct

• Under the 25th amendment's fourth stipulation, it would only take 14 people to depose the president — Vice President Mike Pence and 13 of Trump's 24 Cabinet members.
• Paris authorities plan to banish all petrol- and diesel-fuelled cars from the world's most visited city by 2030.
• Oil company Shell has signed an agreement to buy electric vehicle charging firm NewMotion, which will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell. It operates over 30,000 private electric charge points for homes and businesses in the Netherlands, Germany, France and the U.K. Shell is planning for the day when demand for oil starts to fade.
• Hyperloop One just struck a major deal with Richard Branson's Virgin Group. Virgin Group has invested in Hyperloop One, a startup that's working on constructing the high-speed transit system Elon Musk first outlined in a white paper in 2013. Hyperloop One will now be called Virgin Hyperloop.
• Apple has entered into a deal with Spielberg and NBC Universal to make new episodes of Amazing Stories, an NBC sci-fi show that was cancelled in the 1980s. The show will will have a $5 million per-episode budget.
• Anything currently paved with asphalt, but coated with CoolSeal, reduces the temperature at ground level around 5C. It also makes it easier to light at night because the surface is so reflective. Los Angeles is testing it and may someday scale it up as a way of cooling the city down.
