A Chinese startup has unveiled a personal flying platform you ride standing up — basically a hoverboard with four ducted fans. The CoolFly Urban can carry up to 90 kg, reach speeds of 70 km/h and stay airborne for around 11 minutes. An AI balance system adjusts thrust as the rider leans, similar to a self-balancing scooter, and the company claims most people can learn to fly it in about 10 minutes.

🇦🇫 THE TALIBAN IS OFFERING AMERICA ACCESS TO AFGHANISTAN’S MINERALS 5 years after taking Kabul, the Taliban is making a remarkably transactional pitch to Washington: invest in Afghanistan’s vast mineral resources and start rebuilding relations. Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi told the Financial Times that Afghanistan would “absolutely” welcome U.S. investment as Kabul seeks sanctions relief and international recognition. “Relations between Afghanistan and the United States should not be assessed through the lens of the past 20 years of war, but rather on the basis of future co-operation.” Afghanistan holds largely undeveloped deposits of copper, lithium, iron ore and rare-earth minerals, while the Taliban has also floated American investment in infrastructure and reopening a diplomatic presence in Kabul. 20 years of war ended with the Taliban back in Kabul. Now they’re pitching Washington the mining rights. Source: FT / Writer: Oliver
