May 05, 2021

Facebook Neighborhoods

Facebook will not be content until it has cloned every app, website, and service on the planet, and the latest victim of the social network's cloning spree is Nextdoor.

As the company explains, your Neighborhoods profile is separate from your main Facebook profile, and you have to be at least 18 to join a neighborhood. In addition to being able to join the neighborhood that you live in, you will also have the ability ...

Want to know exactly what Twitter's fleet of text-combing, dictionary-parsing bots defines as "mean"? Starting any day now, you'll have instant access to that data—at least, whenever a stern auto-moderator says you're not tweeting politely.

On Wednesday, members of Twitter's product-design team confirmed that a new automatic prompt will begin rolling out for all Twitter users, regardless of platform and device, that activates when a post's language crosses Twitter's threshold of "potentially harmful or offensive ...

Google just announced a rare exciting update for Android tablets

May 05, 2021

Google Entertainment Space

The 2021 iPad Pro delivered a huge blow to Android tablet makers. The iPad Pro hardly had any competition in the market, and the M1-powered iPad Pro puts even more distance between Apple and the flagship Android tablets. The M1 processor offers performance well beyond what’s available from the best Android tablets out there, and it’s unlikely we’ll see a true iPad Pro rival from the Android camp anytime soon. That’s on top of the software differences, as Google has largely ignored Android tablets in recent years.

But Google does have a software upgrade in mind for Android tablets, ...

By now, many readers are familiar with SpaceX's Starship tests. The rocket makes its way skyward and performs maneuvers that seem like impossibilities to a generation raised on rockets that simply shot things to orbit. These maneuvers are followed by an ungainly looking float toward the Earth below, which ends in a sudden lurch as the rocket struggles to a vertical orientation and tries to lose speed.

In general, this has been followed by a dramatic explosion as ...

How to Expand Inclusivity Efforts Ahead of Your Next Meeting

May 05, 2021

4 steps planners can take to make meaningful change.

What do you think of when you hear the word “inclusivity” with respect to meetings? Probably adding more women to a panel, designing content that represents the racial diversity of the audience and having an ADA-compliant setup.

And that’s an excellent start. But truly inclusive meetings go far beyond ticking to a few of the most frequently discussed boxes. Accommodating everyone means planning for diverse ages, religious backgrounds, dietary restrictions and abilities—among many additional audience-specific considerations.

“You want everyone to feel comfortable, safe and respected at an event,” explains Jackie ...

A recent report from the ADP Research Institute, “People at Work 2021:A Global Workforce View,” surveyed workers worldwide to see how they fared during the pandemic. One stark finding ...

The Biden administration has thrown its weight behind an international effort to loosen patent and other legal protections for COVID vaccines.

"The Administration believes strongly in intellectual property protections, but in service of ending this pandemic, supports the waiver of those protections for COVID-19 vaccines," wrote US Trade Representative Katherine Tai in a Wednesday statement.

If successful, that effort might open up the vaccine market to independent drug makers, speeding production and distribution and ending the pandemic more quickly. Or it might ...

This same thing happened a number of weeks ago and it turned out to be debris from SpaceX's recent Starlink satellite launch. It happened again this week and, well, it looks like history is repeating itself.

As local news outletsreported, sightings of the lights flooded social media, with residents wondering what they were seeing and some suggesting it might be ...

Apple will also develop unique features for the foldable iPhone, including iOS changes that will allow users to transition from iPhone to iPad use modes. And the foldable iPhone will probably outsell every other foldable on the market.

Until then, we’ll rely on Samsung to set the tone. The company started making foldables well before the technology was ready to support mass production. In hindsight, even the first-gen Galaxy Fold was a bridge too far for Samsung, launching ...

A California federal appeals court has denied legal immunity to Snapchat developer Snap for the 2017 death of two teens and a 20-year-old when their car crashed into a tree at 113 miles per hour (180 km/h). Parents of two of the boys sued Snap, arguing that Snapchat's "speed filter" encouraged the boys to accelerate their car to more than 100 miles per hour.

Last year, Snap convinced a federal trial judge that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act shielded ...

GOP Circling Its Wagons Around Trump–Too Bad for Liz Chaney and Other True Conservatives

May 05, 2021

Much to the chagrin of American conservatives, i.e., those who stand for Ronald Reagan’s values of small government and limited spending, Trump has successfully marginalized any congressional Republican who doesn’t maintain absolute loyalty to him.  God help him or her who’s bold enough to tell the truth about the “Big Lie,” aka the ridiculous “stolen election” narrative.

What’s happening to Liz Chaney is comical to watch, though it may work for the Republicans in the short term. The GOP has unified around Trump, and that may be enough for success in the 2020 mid-terms.  But eviscerating anyone of any ...

Chip shortage continues, US asks Taiwan to prioritize automakers

The worldwide semiconductor shortage continues to affect the automotive industry. One by one, automakers have warned that the silicon chip shortage will negatively impact production output and revenues in the coming months.

Renault identified the chip shortage as a major problem when reporting its Q1 results in April. A week later, Ford said it expects to lose half of its Q2 production, up from 17 percent in Q1. And on Wednesday, Stellantis Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer added to the chorus, warning that "it would be imprudent to assume ...

1 Pick to Profit From the Chip Shortage

Remember that number, because that is but one contributor to the supply shortages that are emerging everywhere.

As Ted outlined here, economic and fiscal policies that emerged from the Great Recession disincentivized investments across a number of industries. That means there isn’t enough production capacity to meet demand for many critical components.

You’ve probably heard about the lack of lumber. You’ve likely even felt the pain of those soaring prices. But the most important shortage by far is taking place in semiconductors. It’s impacting smartphones, vehicles, appliances and even dog toys.

Mighty morphin’ flat-packed pasta takes on 3D shapes as it cooks

Pasta comes in many shapes and sizes, which is part of its inherent delight. But all those irregular shapes tend to be inefficient when it comes to packaging. So what if you could buy your pasta of choice in a simple, compact 2D form and then watch it take on the desired final 3D shape as it cooks, thereby doubling the fun factor? Scientists at Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) have figured out a simple mechanism to do just that, according to a new paper published in the journal Science Advances.

The technology is a digital “smart contract” encoded on a blockchain, which stipulates the ownership and resale rights for a specific digital artwork that is typically linked in the contract but hosted elsewhere. Artists see potential to ensure royalties for themselves when an artwork is resold by a gallery or at auction. They might also use the smart contract to distribute percentages of sales ...

Resident Evil Village review: Apparently, good horror takes more than a village

May 05, 2021

2017's Resident Evil 7 was one of the greatest gaming comeback stories of all time. After the series lost its way over the years with unwieldy blockbuster aspirations, Capcom's horror team wiped the slate clean and scaled everything down to a creepier, tighter, personality-driven scope.

Video: Three tips landscape photographer Andy Mumford wishes he had learned sooner
