Humanity is edging ever-closer to extinction, but donât worry â the tech lords have deigned to save us. Elon Musk, for instance, wants to take us to a Martian colony. Sure, many will perish on the journey, but the survivors can enjoy a nightmarish existence, which theyâll fund through indentured labor on the hellscape. Yes. There will be a lot of jobs on Mars! â Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 17,... Read more âș

Omnichannelâs steady march to ubiquity has continued over the past decade. It seems like literally every brand is now omnichannel. Or are they? According to a report by McKinsey&Company: We find that retailers are often swayed by new technologies that sound promising, but too often donât deliver. In all the buzz, brands are struggling to be present everywhere, all the time. New platforms and tools are cropping up presenting new... Read more âș

They run on-demand... Read more âș

AI now guides numerous life-changing decisions, from assessing loan applications to determining prison sentences. Proponents of the approach argue that it can eliminate human prejudices, but critics warn that algorithms can amplify our biases â without even revealing how they reached the decision. This can result in AI systems leading to Black people being wrongfully arrested, or child services unfairly targeting poor families. The victims are frequently from groups that... Read more âș

It was the veritable search for a needle in a haystack. With drug-resistant bacteria on the rise, researchers at MIT were sifting through a database of more than 100 million molecules to identify a few that might have antibacterial properties. Fortunately, the search proved successful. But it wasnât a human who found the promising molecules. It was a machine learning program. One compound has been patented under the name Halicin...

The USB-C standard has been long touted as a âone port to rule âem allâ solution. Sure, itâs universal in the sense of the shape of the port. But the capabilities of a USB-C port and cable can vary widely. Last month, I wrote about why itâs so hard to differentiate one USB-C cable from another. Experts I talked to also noted that there are very few visual markers that... Read more âș

Letâs suppose you were an astronaut who just landed on the planet Mars. What would you need to survive? For starters, hereâs a short list: Water, food, shelter â and oxygen. Oxygen is in the air we breathe here on Earth. Plants and some kinds of bacteria provide it for us. But oxygen is not the only gas in the Earthâs atmosphere. Itâs not even the most abundant. In fact,... Read more âș

On Sunday, popular American singer songwriter Halsey shared a video on TikTok with tinny music in the background, the on-screen text reading: Basically I have a song that I love that I wanna release ASAP but my record label wonât let me.

I tend to gravitate toward ebikes that are light and nimble. I like ebikes that feel more like regular bikes, especially those that use torque sensors for the smoothest pedaling experience. The Velotric Discover 1 isnât quite that. But for an MSRP of $1,899 (currently on sale for $1,399), itâs a pretty sweet ride in an accessible form factor and a strong first entry for a new company entering a... Read more âș
