We’ve made a mess of the Earth’s oceans. That’s something Boyan Slat, founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, has spent the better part of a decade trying to fix. It’s a massive problem — literally. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) — which is exactly what it sounds like — is estimated to cover an area of over 1.6 million square kilometers (620,000 square miles). It contains thousands of...

So you’re thinking of expanding your fintech company to another market? Congratulations, you’re in for an interesting ride. While 2022 has seen a slight slowdown in fintech investments, Q1 investments were still up 27% from Q1 2021. Even so, fintech giants like Klarna have laid off part of their staff in expectation of a more difficult future financial environment. This slowdown puts more pressure on fintechs to build resilience by... Read more ›

The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work. The big idea A newly discovered fast radio burst has some unique properties that are simultaneously giving astronomers important clues into what may cause these mysterious astronomical phenomena while also calling into question one of the few things scientists thought they knew about these powerful flares, as my colleagues and I describe in a new study in Nature on...

READER QUESTION: I am 59 years old, and in reasonably good health. Is it possible that I will live long enough to put my brain into a computer? — Richard Dixon. We often imagine that human consciousness is as simple as input and output of electrical signals within a network of processing units – therefore comparable to a computer. Reality, however, is much more complicated. For starters, we don’t actually... Read more ›

While the US federal government is moving towards standardizing fast-charging infrastructure and installing the first national network of chargers on highways, North Carolina might be going in the opposite direction. NC Representative Keith Kidwell, together with his colleagues, Reps. Ben Moss of Richmond County, Mark Brody of Union County, and George Cleveland of Onslow County, last week filed House Bill 1049 — one of the country’s most anti-EV bills to... Read more ›

The pandemic brought a new slew of challenges for CEOs and managers of startups: offices closed down, companies pivoted to remote work, and there was a whole slew of challenges in weathering the financial and logistical impacts of the pandemic. But there were also many workplace initiatives throughout the pandemic that exemplified leadership, boosted company results, improved workplace culture, or set an industry example. What are the biggest wins for... Read more ›

Science fiction frequently inspires real technology. John LePore, who’s speaking at TNW Conference on June 11, not only understands this pathway — he builds it. The Emmy-nominated futurist and creative director designs tech for blockbuster movies and real-world products alike. His credits range from Black Panther’s Vibranium Sand and Iron Man’s J.A.R.V.I.S., to General Motor’s Hummer EV and IBM’s Project Debater system. His innovations that we see in films frequently...

When it comes to automobiles, the future is electric. But while car makers are pivoting towards all things electric (with a smattering of solar and hydrogen thrown in), the necessary EV charger infrastructure is dragging things down. Researchers from the University of California (and partners) published a paper this week on the reliability of open EV Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFCs) in the Greater Bay Area. Functional states of 657... Read more ›

But less publicized is another form of child sexual abuse material: virtual child sexual abuse material (VCSAM). What’s virtual child sexual abuse material (VCSAM)? VCSAM is sexual content depicting fictitious... Read more ›

I really liked Dell’s old XPS 13 2-in-1, but it’s occupied a somewhat awkward place in Dell’s lineup. Unless you absolutely needed the 360-degree hinge, the regular XPS 13 was usually the better deal, as it offered better performance for the price. On the other hand, like many flip-floppy style laptops, the XPS 13 2-in-1 never felt quite perfect as a tablet due to the exposed keyboard and awkward shape.... Read more ›

Developers have set a new record in the endless quest to accurately calculate pi. A team led by Google Cloud’s Emma Haruka Iwao found 100 TRILLION digits of the mathematical constant — smashing the previous benchmark of 31.4 trillion. Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Credit: Google Brainiacs have sought to extend Pi’s for millennia, but in recent years the digits have increased exponentially.

A team of researchers using what they call “state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques” has reportedly created a system capable of identifying a human’s political ideology by viewing their brain scans. Wow! This is either the most advanced AI system in the entire known universe or it’s a total sham. Unsurprisingly, it’s a sham: There’s little reason for excitement. You don’t even have to read the researcher’s paper to debunk their work.... Read more ›

As much as I admire Harley-Davidson‘s motorcycles, the truth is I’m totally incapable of riding one. So when the iconic brand and its affiliated company, Serial 1, released their ebikes back in November 2020, I got very excited about being able to try at least one Harley-Davidson vehicle. Fast forward to May, when I got to test the Serial 1 Mosh/Cty: a powerful, single-speed ebike that makes urban riding feel... Read more ›

We’ve made a mess of the Earth’s oceans. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) — which is exactly what it sounds like — is estimated to cover an area of over 1.6 million square kilometers (620,000 square miles). It contains thousands of tons of plastic waste, and more plastic flows into the oceans around the world from rivers every day. Worse, the rate of plastic discarded into the ocean seems... Read more ›
