WhatsApp is unstoppable: It’s STILL growing despite controversial policy change

In January, WhatsApp introduced its controversial privacy policy change with a pop-up in the app. While the outrage made the company delay it for a few months, the updated policy is kicking in from May 15. Many people have an issue with this move because it’ll lead to WhatsApp sharing data with other Facebook apps. This has led to many folks trying out new messaging software.

Few things get me excited like these big GTA 6 moments, but we need to talk about digital game ownership - and fast

The biggie for me was always the one with the Sabre Turbo. Poised at a crossroads, black with an impossible shine, like an oil slick on tarmac, reflections iridescent. A fool in a red sports car in front, the city surrounding, mountains in the distance. A car coiled up at that intersection like the whole potential of that game's world was spring-loaded within it, waiting at the ready. Read more Read more

Детское образование по шкале внимание + активность

В прошлый раз мы поговорили о том, с какого возраста учить детей программированию (там, кстати, в комментариях разгорелась важная дискуссия о том, нужно ли вообще учить детей программированию), и разговор уже зашел у нас про форматы, так что сегодня продолжаем его же. В помощь нам — два исследования. Первое — про индивидуальное обучение, если вы хотя бы левой пяткой связаны с образовательным рынком, вы про него знаете. В 1984 году... Read more

Модульная автономная DIY-гидропоника на 3D-принтере. Часть 1

Жизнь в стране с жарким климатом волей-неволей заставляет взяться за выращивание чего-либо. Я этот путь начал с острых перцев чили, которым нужно много солнца и регулярный полив. Сняв пару урожаев, я задумался о том, что было бы здорово попробовать выращивать их на гидропонике, то есть когда у вас вообще нет почвы, а корни растения живут в субстрате вроде кокосового волокна или керамзита.Основной проблемой становится непрерывное снабжение корней питательным раствором, который...
