Being queer in the science, technology, engineering, and math fields can be exhausting. Thereâs a never-ending torrent of peer-reviewed research, exposure articles from journalists, and testimony from current and former employees that demonstrates a clear and consistent bias against the LGBTQ+ community in STEM. And thatâs just the private sector. Donât even get me started on academia and the government sector. Itâs clear that workplace discrimination, confrontation, and isolation have... Read more âș

Googleâs algorithmic failures can dreadful consequences, from directing racist search terms to the White House in Google Maps to labeling Black people as gorillas in Google Photos. This week, the Silicon Valley giant added another algorithmic screw-up to the list: misidentifying a software engineer as a serial killer. The victim of this latest botch was Hristo Georgiev, an engineer based in Switzerland. Georgiev discovered that a Google search of his... Read more âș

New York City plans to expand its currently limited EV charging infrastructure with new curbside chargers that will be introduced in October. Well, that does make sense, given that NYCâs five boroughs are so overcrowded that drivers mostly park their cars at the curb. The cityâs Department of Transport (DOT) believes that by enabling EV drivers to charge their cars when they â Iâm sure not without effort â find... Read more âș

Mars is known for its thin atmosphere, where CO2 dominates and provides most of the atmospheric mass and pressure. In fact, the pressure is similar to that in the Earthâs stratosphere, which is a layer of the atmosphere, at more than 30km above the surface. But what about water? Water on Mars is currently found on the surface as a layer of ice â several kilometers thick â at the... Read more âș

There are more than 1.4 billion cars in the world today, and that number could double by 2036. If all those cars burn petrol or diesel, the climate consequences will be dire. Electric cars emit fewer air pollutants and if theyâre powered by renewable energy, driving one wouldnât add to the greenhouse gases warming Earthâs atmosphere. But producing so many electric vehicles (often abbreviated to EVs) in a decade would... Read more âș

Since its inception, Instagram has been a mobile-first app. While it has a website where you can look at your feed, watch Stories, and chat with your friends over DMs, you canât post photos.

Multiple people on Twitter noted that theyâre seeing this functionappear for them on Instagramâs desktop site. Now we're... Read more âș

Last week on Growth Quarters we asked, do you really need a sales team to scale? This week weâre asking⊠do you even need real employees? App-based helicopter and charter flight booking platform, Blade Air Mobility says: nope.

Microsoft announced Windows 11 alongside a bazillion new features today, but by far the most surprising of these was the introduction of Android apps to Windows â no thanks to Google, apparently. Yes, you read that right. Android apps will be available right through the Microsoft Store, which will pull Android apps via the Amazon Appstore. (If youâre wondering why Amazon has an app store, itâs for its Fire tablets... Read more âș

After weeks of teasers and leaks, Windows 11 is official. Messy livestream aside, it looks like a sweet update. Though a leaked build revealed some of what was to come, and the OS upgrade doesnât look quite as dramatic as, say, the jump from Windows 8 to Windows 10 Microsoft says it has a lot more in store for Windows 11âs official launch later this year. You can watch Microsoftâs... Read more âș

War is coming. Later this year the US military will fight its most advanced war campaign ever as it faces off against a fictionalized version of China. The battles will be fake, but the results should provide the government with everything it needs to justify the mass development of lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS). The era of government-controlled killer robots is upon us. Up front: US military leaders have increasingly... Read more âș

I was pretty hyped about Microsoftâs big Windows 11 reveal today. Iâm a self-proclaimed Windows fanboy â we exist! â and after the company claimed Windows 10 would be the âlast version of Windows,â the news of Windows 11 hit like a nerdy Christmas. So I fully expected my first article of the day to be a straight piece about the new features coming to the OS. Instead, Iâm writing... Read more âș

Last December, the UK introduced âgreen platesâ for EVs in an effort to raise awareness of zero-emission cars. Exciting, I know. Bearing a green strip down the left side, theyâre easily distinguishable from the regular number plates. This means the public can identify these people as the saints of sustainable transport they are. At least, thatâs what the government thought. From today, green number plates may be legally fitted on... Read more âș
