‘Chief Awesome Officer’ is an actual job title — suck it, CEOs

There’s a ton of ridiculous job titles in the startup scene, but usually, they’re somewhat transparent. Surely a Chief Meeting Designer must do something related to meetings and a Senior Clubhouse Executive probably spends all their time yapping on Clubhouse. So that’s why I was a little stumped when I came across Marian Johnson — a Chief Awesome Officer. Does she just go around… being awesome? Why would you pay... Read more

Thanks to the internet, we know what’s happening in Myanmar. But a communication blackout may be near

Social media has given us valuable access to the actions of both the military and anti-coup protesters in Myanmar, but a communication blackout may be coming. The country’s military seized control of the government on February 1, after the National League for Democracy (NLD) won the general election in a landslide. The opposition-backed army has since detained hundreds of NLD members, including party leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Thousands have... Read more

Facebook to lift ban on political ads on Thursday

Facebook will lift its ban on political ads in the US on Thursday, the social media giant said on Wednesday. The company imposed the temporary ban after the November 2020 presidential election to curb the spread of misinformation in the aftermath. It will now resume advertising on “social issues, elections or politics,” Facebook announced in a blog post: We’ve heard a lot of feedback about this and learned more about... Read more

Oh great, now Netflix is copying TikTok too

By now we’ve seen that once a new social media format becomes popular, every app wants to copy it. We saw it happen after everyone and their mothers copied Snapchat’s ephemeral Stories, and now we’re seeing it happen with TikTok-style short videos (which themselves are just copies of OG Vines). Sometimes though, these features even leave the realm of social media platforms. Case in point: even Netflix is copying TikTok... Read more

Necromancy: Scientists built a robot that can hear through a dead locust’s ear

A team of scientists from Tel-Aviv University have successfully given a robot the ability to hear sounds through the use of a dead locust’s ear. What? Seriously. A university press release highlighting the team’s work had this to say: Researchers at Tel Aviv University report that they have successfully connected the ear of a dead locust to a robot that receives the ear’s electrical signals and responds accordingly.

Nosy AI reads a 300-year-old sealed letter — without opening it

Scientists have used an algorithm to read an unopened letter written 300 years ago — without breaking its seal. The note had been securely shut through an archaic process known as “letterlocking.” The method was used to secure written communications for centuries before the widespread adoption of envelopes in the 1830s. The intricate system of folds, tucks, and slits effectively turns the paper into its own envelope. Often, the notes... Read more

TLDR: These cool STEM learning kits for kits will have them building a whole array of neat gadgets, robots, art, and more. Since it’s too cold for kids to go outside right now, that means lots of hours cooped up inside the house.

The race to net-zero is on — but no one wins if we take shortcuts

With the 2050 deadline looming, the switch to electric is now inevitable. But we’d be fools to believe that the journey will be easy. So, in the wake of a surge of carbon neutrality announcements from car manufacturers, and continued uncertainty about what constitutes credible net-zero targets, Polestar is calling for action over aspirations. Green intentions and opaque promises all sound impressive, but climate neutrality isn’t open to interpretation. Either... Read more

WhatsApp is reportedly working on ‘disappearing images’ — about fucking time

Last year, WhatsApp introduced an ephemeral messages feature. However, these messages last for seven days, which is a really long time for something that should disappear after sending. Thankfully, the chat app is working on a new mode that lets you send ephemeral images, and those disappear as soon as you leave the chat. The feature is currently under development, according to WABetaInfo. So settle down you giddy little thing.... Read more

What’s sampling rate? And why does it matter for music?

Do you keep hearing people talk about sampling rate in music? But aren’t certain what that actually is?? Well, friend, you’ve come to the right place. On a fundamental level, sampling rate is a result of the digitization of audio. While analog sound waves are continuous, digital music is made up from lots of small data points played one after another. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Sampling rate in... Read more

Crazy scientists think weird and gloopy hydrogen ‘toothpaste’ is the fuel of the future

While battery electric vehicles are stealing much of the low-emission driving limelight at the moment, hydrogen power is still being explored as a future fuel. And who would have thought it would look like weird gray sludge. Some believe that hydrogen is the better long term option for low-emission vehicles, as its very energy dense and can refuel a vehicle in minutes — much like a conventional gasoline car. However,...

Avoid the culture shock: 5-step plan to transition from employee to entrepreneur

Ask any entrepreneur and they’ll tell you that the first step to success is to start. Yet, so many people still feel trapped in life’s rat race, dreaming of a life where they are in charge.

But while governments and national security can benefit from this, advanced surveillance technology creates risks for the misuse of personal data and the violation of human rights.
