The Bourbon Industry Is in Turmoil. Could Tech Provide the Shot It Needs? The software-driven approach pioneered by a new Kentucky distillery runs counter to the low-tech methods of whiskey's old guard. Its mix of data and automation might help pave a way forward.

POUR THINGS: The US whiskey industry is in free fall—which makes for an inauspicious time to launch a new distillery. This is how Kentucky-based Whiskey House is going to buck the trend by using tech at a scale never done before in the spirits industry. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/whiske...

New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds Proposed regulations in China would mean the end of flush handles on car doors, with precious little time to roll out the changes.

CHINA CHANGE: It looks like new Chinese regs will force Tesla and other auto cos to bin their beloved flush door handles for something potentially safer. That's good.

The Vision Pro Was An Expensive Misstep. Now Apple Has to Catch Up With Smart Glasses Having reportedly shelved work on a cheaper Vision Pro, Apple is apparently pivoting its focus to smart glasses—and hoping it's not too late.
