関東学生アメリカンフットボール連盟は１４日、春季オープン戦で予定されていた日大の３試合を中止すると発表した。関西学院大との定期戦で日大の選手が悪質な反則行為をしたことを受け、２０日の法政大戦、６月９日の東京大戦、同１０日の立教大戦が行われないことになった。３大学から連名で日大との試合中止を求める文書が送られてきたという。 ３大学は、現段階で監督ら指導者を含めた正式な処分や再発防止策が示されず、日大と試合を行うことは難しいと判断。選手の父母、ＯＢ・ＯＧからも「安全が担保されていない」などの懸念の声が上がっているほか、連盟についても事案発覚からの対応の遅れなどを指摘。危機管理についても問題があるとしている。 悪質なタックルは６日に都内で行われた定期戦で発生。日大選手が、無防備な状態の関学大クオーターバック（ＱＢ）に背後からタックルするなど複数回の反則行為を繰り返した。ＱＢは右膝軟骨損傷と腰の打

He is best known for his adage now referred to as Amara’s Law: We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run. There is a lot wrapped up in these 21 words. An optimist can read it o

Back to all posts With Waymo in the driver’s seat, fully self-driving vehicles can transform the way we get around. Two years ago, we completed the world’s first fully self-driving trip on public roads, when Steve Mahan, who is legally blind, traveled from a park to a doctor’s office without anyone in the driver’s seat.

Based at Princeton University, though he found fame at Cambridge (as a student and professor from 1957 to 1987), Conway, 77, claims never to have worked a day in his life.

He’s a fellow of the Royal Society. And he is
