YouTube hiding dislike counts is gonna suck for viewers

Bad news, my fellow haters: YouTube has started hiding dislike counts on videos. While the thumbs-down button is staying, the tally will only be available to the person who uploaded the video. YouTube says the move will shield creators from harassment and “dislike attacks.” In tests, the changes made people “less likely to target a video’s dislike button to drive up the count.” YouTube is now gradually making the switch...

AI customer service bots are making their way to a store near you

I regularly fly with KLM from Minneapolis to New Delhi, and always stop over in Amsterdam. I am frequently in Minneapolis for research and this is my route to go home to take a break from work. I have done the journey so many times that I know almost all the shops at Schiphol inside out. However, one time in summer 2019, the predictability was broken when I missed my... Read more â€ș

No, people don’t lie more online (we promise)

Technology has given people more ways to connect, but has it also given them more opportunities to lie? You might text your friend a white lie to get out of going to dinner, exaggerate your height on a dating profile to appear more attractive or invent an excuse to your boss over email to save face. Social psychologists and communication scholars have long wondered not just who lies the most,... Read more â€ș

 any tech at all

Every 52 minutes, someone in the US dies in a drunk-driving accident
 According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), each year, around 10,000 people are killed due to alcohol-related crashes, which translates into nearly 30% of all traffic fatalities. Despite the laws, fines, and penalties that exist to prevent drunk driving, people still get behind the wheel after consuming alcoholic beverages. And if we can’t stop them from... Read more â€ș

Elon Musk wasn’t actually asking for your opinion on his $5B Tesla stock sale

The world almost turned upside down when over the weekend, Elon Musk asked on Twitter if he should sell 10% of his stake in Tesla. Given his previous antics, it’s not unprecedented for the billionaire to ask random folks on a social network about sensitive financial advice. Musk eventually sold almost 3% of his shares — 4.5 million stocks worth almost $5 billion — over the next few days. This... Read more â€ș

New dark matter theory has a terrifying explanation for the universe’s expansion

A new theory published in the APS physicsjournal seeks to explain the origin and proliferation of dark matter through the introduction of a simple concept: what if dark matter can turn regular matter into dark matter? Up front: Physicists have long suspected that dark matter has either existed for as long as the universe or that it was created as a byproduct of the Big Bang event. We’re not quite... Read more â€ș

Unis are using AI to keep students from cheating and it’s a bit creepy

Universities are increasingly using computer programs to supervise university students sitting their exams. Is this the future of testing? Due to the pandemic, institutions worldwide have rapidly adopted exam software like Examplify, ExamSoft and ProctorU. Proctoring technology allows exam-takers to be monitored off-campus. They can sit exams in their homes, instead of a person having to watch them in a traditional exam room. Some programs simply enable a person to... Read more â€ș

3 reasons why sodium-ion batteries may dethrone lithium

Lithium-ion batteries have played a vital role in the development of electric vehicles and we love them for that. But at the same time, lithium is expensive to produce, unstable in high temperatures, and a finite resource whose mining often comes with supply chain problems. Battery researchers and manufacturers have been assiduously searching for a more sustainable replacement. One intriguing alternative they’ve discovered is another chemical element: sodium. Why lithium... Read more â€ș

The company pledged to eliminate ad-targeting related to ‘sensitive’ topics, such as race, health, political belief, or sexual orientation. The new policy will take effect from January 19th and cover all of Meta’s apps.... Read more â€ș

Move over, batteries: green hydrogen is the key to getting flying taxis off the ground

VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft are rapidly growing from prototypes to commercial vehicles. But while most prioritize electric batteries, there’s a suite of companies developing hydrogen-powered VTOLs, including the Skai from US company Alaka’i I recently spoke to Brian Morrison, co-founder, president, and CTO, to find out more.   Why is Skai using hydrogen, not lithium-ion batteries? Firstly, I was curious why hydrogen instead of Lithium-ion batteries. Morrison said: “Lithium-ion... Read more â€ș

Startups, pitch to journalists like you would to a VC

Unicorns, rainbows, seed, pre-seed, angel

After a decade in PR, comms, and journalism — having worked mostly for the ‘big guys’ with their big partners like Sony, P&G, HP, Cisco, Netflix, etc. — I entered the crazy world of startup PR. I was a total novice here, honestly thinking VC meant ‘video chat’. But the switch meant... Read more â€ș

Microsoft’s $249 Surface Laptop SE aims to outclass Google’s Chromebooks

“If you want something done right, do it yourself,” the saying goes. That’s the strategy Microsoft appears to be taking with its new Surface Laptop SE, by far the cheapest PC the company has ever made (the excellent Surface Laptop Go started at $549). It’s a shot across the bow to Google’s Chromebooks, with which Microsoft is taking matters into its own hands, rather than relying exclusively on partners making... Read more â€ș

Expanding black holes could be playing Pac Man with the universe

Pac Man‘s a simple protagonist. He doesn’t have a scruffy beard or a worried look in his eyes. He’s doesn’t sling out quips or one-liners. He eats dots. That’s it. That’s sort of how black holes work. They only do one thing: gobble up literally everything. But, just like Pac Man, they can only eat the stuff that’s right next to them. Black holes and stars collide often and, usually,... Read more â€ș
