Imagine you’re having friends over for lunch and plan to order a pepperoni pizza. You recall Amy mentioning that Susie had stopped eating meat. You try calling Susie, but when she doesn’t pick up, you decide to play it safe and just order a margherita pizza instead. People take for granted the ability to deal with situations like these on a regular basis. In reality, in accomplishing these feats, humans... Read more ›

The internet of the old days was amazing, wasn’t it? One day it suddenly became possible to chat with anyone anywhere across the globe, and everything changed. Soon you were able to read about any obscure topic that came across your mind while buying a book or shoes or virtually anything you wanted from the comfort of your living room or office. It was like a totally new world to... Read more ›

Python is my bread-and-butter, and I love it. Even though I’ve got some points of criticism against the language, I strongly recommend it for anybody starting out in data science. More experienced people in the field tend to be Python-evangelists anyway. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t challenge the limits in your field from time to time, for example by exploring a different programming paradigm or a new language.... Read more ›

WhatsApp has blocked the Taliban‘s helpline channels and few other groups from its service. Over the last few days, the Taliban has taken the control of Kabul, and threw off the Afghanistan government. This has caused severe unrest in the country with several people trying to flee the country. The group set up a helpline on WhatsApp for citizens to complain about violence, looting, and other law & order-related problems.... Read more ›

Gamers have it pretty good today. Thanks to the modern internet, we can purchase and play video games without ever waiting in line at Game Stop or biding our time until our buddies let us borrow their cartridge. Back in the day, after Atari but before Stadia, I could go to any number of video rental stores and walk out with three AAA video games to spend a weekend with.... Read more ›

It’s hard to believe it now, but just four short years ago articles on quantum computing were a bit of a dud when it came to catching the attention of mainstream news consumers. Oh what a difference a few years can make. You can’t open the science section on Google or Apple News nowadays without seeing a near-equal split between space and quantum physics stories. The world’s fallen in love... Read more ›

Google just announced the Pixel 5a is available in the US and Japan — and you should be excited: it’s one of the best value Android phones on the market. I’ve had my hands on it for a while and, at $449, it’s a steal. Even now that you can find used and refurbished Pixel 5’s for the same price, there’s a good chance you’ll want to go for the...

On gay dating apps like Grindr, many users have profiles that contain phrases like “I don’t date Black men,” or that claim they are “not attracted to Latinos.” Other times they’ll list races acceptable to them: “White/Asian/Latino only.” This language is so pervasive on the app that websites such as Douchebags of Grindr and hashtags like #grindrwhileblack can be used to find countless examples of the abusive language that men...

TLDR: Whizlabs offers online certification training in hundreds of core IT and business management topics to help chart the career path you want. Certification. It’s a word that any job seeker knows carries a lot of weight, especially for those pursuing a career in a tech field. It’s almost an unwritten understanding between the job hunter and a hiring manager explaining that this isn’t the average guy off the street... Read more ›

This week we’ve been besieged by news images of men jam-packed into truck beds holding military assault weapons. Their manufacturer of choice is Toyota. Militias have long used Toyota pickup trucks as a vehicle of war, especially in the Middle East. The trucks are lightweight, agile, fuel-efficient, and well suited to the local terrain. In 2013 Kyle Mizokami noted: “You can buy 266 of them for the cost of just... Read more ›

Yik Yak is back! If you don’t know what it is, I don’t blame you. It was an anonymous gossip platform that had some success, but after running into moderation problems and failing to deal with problematic content, it was shut down in 2017. The company announced on Twitter that it’s making a comeback with an iOS app. But before we get into that, let’s take a look at the... Read more ›

I’ve fallen in love with my Xbox Series X. Whether it’s things like Game Pass or Quick Resume, the console has fast become a close companion. But there are two things it needs to truly thrive: more games and a media mode. The first point is something we’ve covered before. For a myriad of reasons (read: the pandemic, supply chain issues, and the lifespan of previous consoles), we’ve yet to... Read more ›

You might think of delivery vans when it comes to getting your packages delivered, but they have a contender–cargo bikes. Research published this week shows that carbo bikes can be faster than delivery vans and also used as an efficient tool for transporting goods, other people, children, animals, and much more. It found that the freight cycles deliver on average 1.61 times faster than those delivered by van. For the... Read more ›

Tinder is planning to introduce profile verification through government ID for users across the globe. This is a step towards reducing fake profiles and abuse on the platform. The feature will be voluntary to use — unless the country you live in mandates it — and it’ll roll out in the “coming quarters.” The company said that with ID verification it wants users to give “more confidence that their matches...

I’m not really sure how to review Qualcomm and Asus‘s ‘Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders‘. It is one of the most puzzling devices I’ve tested, not because there’s much wrong with the phone per se — you’d hope not for $1,500 — but because the marketing and design choices leading up to its creation are baffling. It is a phone that I mostly enjoyed using, but it left me with myriad... Read more ›

We’ve been hearing about a mythical folding Pixel phone for years now, with rumors showing up intermittently since at least 2019. But now we have a small but encouraging leak that suggests Google could announce a ‘Pixel Fold’ soon — perhaps before the end of the year. Developer cstark27, whom we’ve previously talked about for leaking the Pixel 6‘s camera sensor, also noticed that the Android 12 beta refers to... Read more ›

A trio of researchers at Purdue today published pre-print research demonstrating a novel adversarial attack against computer vision systems that can make an AI see – or not see – whatever the attacker wants. It’s something that could potentially affect self-driving vehicles, such as Tesla’s, that rely on cameras to navigate and identify objects. Up front: The researchers wanted to confront the problem of digital manipulation in the physical world.... Read more ›

TLDR: Babbel can train you in 14 different languages to help take your career or your next overseas vacation to new heights. No matter where you go, there’s no real substitute for one-on-one communication. When you can talk with another person face-to-face, there are few situations that can’t get resolved to some degree. Of course, that understanding and goodwill often goes entirely out the window when people don’t speak the... Read more ›

TLDR: With expert level training, the Comprehensive Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop Bundle shows exactly how Lightroom’s unusual, yet useful range of abilities make it just as formidable an app as its historic big brother software. There’s a reason why Adobe Photoshop is still the undisputed king of the image editing universe. It’s held the belt for the last quarter century and shows virtually no sign of stopping anytime soon. So... Read more ›

It’s now well known that usernames and passwords aren’t enough to securely access online services. A recent study highlighted more than 80% of all hacking-related breaches happen due to compromised and weak credentials, with three billion username/password combinations stolen in 2016 alone. As such, the implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA) has become a necessity. Generally, 2FA aims to provide an additional layer of security to the relatively vulnerable username/password system.... Read more ›
