It might be hard to believe but 2022 is just around the corner. While many of us are still stuck in March 2020 (at least in our minds). The world of tech has gone through a mammoth amount of change since the pandemic. From remote work to the Zoom boom, the way we work, communicate with our colleagues and even search for new jobs has completely changed. Of course, Covid-19... Read more âș

John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) was the greatest economist of the twentieth century. Less well known is that he had a parallel career as a successful investor: fairly successful early in his career, and spectacularly successful later on when he changed his strategy. After the first world war, his income depended more on his investments than his academic work. In addition to his personal investments, he managed the investments of Kingâs... Read more âș

I love Twitter. While some people type out carefully curated tweets, most of us write what we want as if no oneâs reading. But you know weâre really hoping that someone will read it. Bonus points if it makes us laugh, think or feel. Hereâs a couple of my favorites overnight: pic.twitter.com/FOaayPuqDW â Unexplained Occurrences đłïžâđđłïžââ§ïž (@TalesOfBeyond) December 14, 2021 Good morning to everyone except that old guy on Willy...

Eureka! A research team featuring dozens of scientists working in partnership with Googleâs quantum computing labs may have created the worldâs first time crystal inside a quantum computer. This is the kind of news that makes me want to jump up and do a happy dance. These scientists may have produced an entirely new phase of matter. Iâm going to do my best to explain what that means and why... Read more âș

Letâs say youâre a startup founder, who comes up with the next new idea in marketing, scaling, or strategic business development. If you are 100% sure that your randomly picked idea will work (maybe youâve asked a fortune-teller or made a tarot spread), I wonât waste your time. But if you really need to sift diamonds from fakes and create a marketing campaign that will definitely work, here are my... Read more âș

Earlier this year, Spotify announced a âHiFiâ upgrade tier for its streaming service that provides lossless audio, promising music free of compression artifacts. Although itâs still not available as 2021 comes to a close, Spotify HiFi promises âCD-qualityâ audio and aims to steer audiophiles away from other lossless streaming competition like Tidal and Deezer â and more recently, Apple Music and Amazon Music too. But even if you consider yourself... Read more âș

Imagine, if you will, a runner five miles into a marathon. At this stage they would have barely started, covering just 20% of the overall distance. Now picture that person stopping mid-stride and punching themselves in the face over and over again until they cascade into unconsciousness. That runner, friends, is Google. To sprinkle some context on the tale of self-pugilation: Google has discontinued its flagship tablet, the Pixel Slate.... Read more âș

If that iPhone, PlayStation 5, or new you car you ordered was delayed in the last two years, blame the global chip shortage. The issue started last year, the COVID-19 pandemic, shut down of the factories, high demand of work from home gadgets, and a bunch of other factors like the US-China trade war, caused gadget makers and car companies to fumble to get chips needed to produce their marquee...

We tech reporters like to complain about tech a lot. Whether itâs the invasion of our privacy, worrisome use of AI, or the death of the headphone jack, we can be a fussy bunch. But as I emptied out boxes of old tech gear to start the new year fresh, I couldnât help but be grateful for one of the best decisions the tech industry has made in the past... Read more âș

2021 will be remembered for a lot of things, but when itâs all said and done we think itâll eventually get called the year quantum computing finally came into focus. Thatâs not to say useful quantum computers have actually arrived yet. Theyâre still somewhere between a couple years and a couple centuries away. Sorry for being so vague, but when youâre dealing with quantum physics there arenât yet many guarantees.... Read more âș

A volcano in Iceland called Fagradalsfjall had been dormant for 6,000 years. Then it erupted spectacularly in March. It just so happens that a lot has changed in 6,000 years, such as the fact we humans have drones. So, of course, drone pilots like Bjorn Steinbekk are flying theirs right into the molten lava. Just watch; itâs worth 15 seconds of your time. Somehow, the drone survived flying right past... Read more âș

The core idea is deceptively simple: every observable phenomenon in the entire universe can be modeled by a neural network. And that means, by extension, the universe itself may be a neural network. Vitaly Vanchurin, a professor of physics at the University of Minnesota Duluth, published an incredible paper last August entitled âThe World as a Neural Networkâ on the arXiv pre-print server. It managed to slide past our notice... Read more âș

NASAâs James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is set to launch real soon â on December 25 at 07:20am EST (12:20 GMT/UTC) to be precise â and the scientific community is buzzing with anticipation. Some scientists are excited at the prospect of âtraveling through timeâ to discover the origin story of our universe, while others hope itâll help us connect the dots between classical and quantum physics. But at least one... Read more âș

The forthcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope offers unprecedented new opportunities for astronomers. Itâs also a timely opportunity to reflect on what previous generations of telescopes have shown us. Astronomers rarely use their telescopes to simply take pictures. The pictures in astrophysics are usually generated by a process of scientific inference and imagination, sometimes visualized in the artistâs impressions of what the data suggests. Choosing just a handful... Read more âș

If everything goes according to plan on December 25, we will enter a new era of astronomy with the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Itâs an event that has been anticipated for a decade â it will be the largest and most expensive and complex telescope ever built, tested, and launched into space. At the time of writing, the US$10 billion (ÂŁ7.5 billion) telescope has been fuelled... Read more âș

When I was in my teens I desperately wanted a pet, but my parents wouldnât allow it, so they got me the next best thing: yes, a Tamagotchi. I loved it. It was my best friend for a while and I was feeling very attached to it. But then its constant demand for attention started driving me crazy, all these bleeps and bloops as it called out for food and... Read more âș

Was one of the last DMs you received on Instagram a video of ducklings wearing flowers for hats, or floating in a sink full of water? An overly zealous cockapoo dancing on the couch with his human?
