My team experimented with ‘no screen mornings’ — it worked wonders

Want to feel stressed, anxious, and/or completely exhausted before you even have breakfast? I highly recommend looking at your phone right when you wake up. I tend to look at Slack, email, and (*sigh*) Twitter right after I wake up. But sometimes I wonder if my head would be clearer if I just
 didn’t. So I tried it out — and asked my coworkers at Zapier to join me. I... Read more â€ș

Facebook is budding to build a kid-friendly Instagram

Facebook has had many problems in dealing with content moderation when it comes to children on Instagram.

BuzzFeed News reported last night that in an internal note, Instagram’s VP for product,... Read more â€ș

Twitter will soon let you watch YouTube videos without leaving its app

Twitter plays videos on its mobile apps fine if they’re uploaded by users. However, if someone’s posted a YouTube link, it’ll redirect you to a browser or the YouTube app. Now, the social network is introducing a feature that’ll let you watch these videos without leaving the app. Twitter said that starting today, it’s allowing some iOS users to see YouTube videos directly without leaving the app. Starting today on...

After Trump ban, Twitter is polling users on how to moderate world leaders

Twitter is still dealing with the ramifications of banning Trump, and now it’s asking users for advice on how to go about moderating politicians and world leaders in the future. In particular, the company is looking for public opinion on whether “world leaders should be subject to the same rules as others on Twitter” and about “what type of enforcement is appropriate” when such a figure breaks the rules.

Beware of biased vaccine distribution algorithms

As the sheer logistical challenge of distributing vaccines to over 300 million Americans looms large, institutions are furiously developing algorithms to assist the rollout. The promise: that technology will enable us to allocate a limited number of doses efficiently — to the highest priority groups, and free of human error.  Vaccine distribution algorithms have already been deployed in many places. In December 2020, researchers at Stanford University rolled out a... Read more â€ș

Facebook’s making a wearable that uses your nerve signals to control AR environments

Facebook is developing a new input device for AR glasses: a wristband that lets you interact with virtual reality by moving your fingers. The system uses electromyography (EMG) to convert nerve signals passing through the wrist into digital commands. Facebook says that these signals are so clear that EMG can understand finger motions of just a millimeter: That means input can be effortless. Ultimately, it may even be possible to... Read more â€ș

Mars rover captures mysterious ‘scratching noise’ during drive across the red planet

A lightning strike may have helped spark life on earth — here’s how

The UK government is about to deal a blow to consumers and unexpectedly change the rules of its plug-in car grant. The changes will make a number of popular EVs less attainable than before, particularly those at the pricer end of the market. According to The Times Driving, the UK government is going to cut its plug-in car grant by ÂŁ500 ($700), dropping it from ÂŁ3,000 ($4,180) to ÂŁ2,500 ($3,480).... Read more â€ș

Google profits from spreading fake news — here’s how

Search engines are one of society’s primary gateways to information and people, but they are also conduits for misinformation. Similar to problematic social media algorithms, search engines learn to serve you what you and others have clicked on before. Because people are drawn to the sensational, this dance between algorithms and human nature can foster the spread of misinformation. Search engine companies, like most online services, make money not only... Read more â€ș

Wake up Volvo, MG already made the world’s first electric station wagon

Volvo has missed a trick, and sullied its name by not being the first to make an all-electric station wagon (that’s an estate car for you Brits). In fact, that title has gone to MG, the formerly British brand that’s now owned by China’s SAIC. Called the MG5, the electric wagon is due for a European release in October this year. Details are pretty sparse right now, but MG says... Read more â€ș
