I’m always looking for good blockchain use cases. There are only a few companies that I rate.

They achieve this by creating their own P2P internet network. This is a radical shift to wide area networks and internet... Read more â€ș

Scientists may have discovered a way to make us forget bad memories

Researchers at Cambridge University have discovered a protein in the brain of mice that may act as a biomarker for malleable memories. In other words, they may be able to determine which memories we can erase and which we are, for whatever reason, stuck with. Up front: The researchers conditioned laboratory mice by simultaneously shocking them and making a clicking noise. The mice naturally associated the sound with the shock... Read more â€ș
