We have seen a lot of work to encourage girls and women to become interested in STEMand address gaps in digital skills at an earlier age than in the past. Yet now, there appears to be less effort to support women as they transition from higher education into a sustainable career in tech. This is a challenge for the industry. But the real problem is that as AI becomes ubiquitous in daily life, without a technology workforce that accurately reflects the structure of society, AI-based decisions are constrained by the limited societal and cultural biases of their designers....

One training bundle could never teach you everything you needed to know about digital marketing. But when that bundle is packed with over 200 hours of instruction, there’s a decent chance that overwhelming volume will expose you to almost everything. With over eight days of training in basic to advanced topics, the Advanced Digital Marketing Mastery Bundle ($36, over 90 percent off from TNW Deals with coupon code: 40LEARN40) truly takes students behind the scenes of understanding and creating a full, effective 21st century digital media experience....

Until a few years ago, all these challenges were either thought insurmountable, decades away, or were being solved with sub-optimal results. But advances in neural networks and deep learning, a branch of AI that has become very popular in the past few years, has helped computers solve these and many other complicated problems. Unfortunately, when created from scratch, deep learning models require access to vast amounts of data and compute resources....

Now, its parent company Facebook is integrating Reels in the blue app. The firm is testing the feature in India by giving access to select creators to share Reels they created on Instagram to the Facebook app. If they share the short video, it’ll have their Instagram handle attached to it. Plus, these users will also get the ability to create short videos using Facebook’s own tools. While this is in a test phase right now, Zuckerberg & Co....

The platform is optimized for boosting politically conservative voices calling for fascism, separatism, and xenophobia. It’s also these voices that tend to generate the most clicks. In recent years, Facebook has on several occasions been made to choose between keeping to its community standards or taking a path that avoids the ire of conservatives. Too many times, it has chosen the latter. The result has been an onslaught of divisive rhetoric that continues to flood the platform and drive political polarization in society....

A Dutch court has ordered the social media giant to remove advertisements that feature his likeness to promote fraudulent Bitcoin investments, Reuters reports. Facebook must take down the fraudulent ads or reportedly face fines of up to €1.1 million ($1.2 million). The social media giant reportedly argued that it’s simply a “neutral funnel for information” and cannot be obligated to act. Reuters noted the court said this was “not acceptable....

One of her most eye-catching suggestions is changing the ordering of news feeds on Facebook and Instagram. Facebook’s algorithms currently steer users to content that generates more engagement. Haugen told a Senate panel on Wednesday that this approach can have dire consequences: She believes these risks would be reduced by switching to a chronological newsfeed. Haugen argues that ordering posts by time would deliver safer content. Facebook may argue that this would trigger a proliferation of spam, but Haugen said that spam could be demoted in the news feed: Haugen’s proposal may well make news feeds less toxic....

Hola pandemic pals, I recently got sucked into a YouTube rabbit hole that had me watching dozens upon dozens of videos where professional fighters take on supposed “streetfighters” and “martial arts masters” to prove they’re frauds. The streetfighter videos are extremely satisfying. These are usually either body builders who think they can take on pro wrestlers or tough guys who think they can trade leather with a pro boxer or MMA fighter....

I work on a daily basis with business owners who are frustrated and overworked. They are not the most effective, the most fulfilled in their business, or the ones creating the most profit. If you recognize yourself as a member of this group, I advise you to focus on these three key areas to turn things around. What do you put in? One of the key drivers of the human condition is our desire to add value....

Everywhere you turn, someone on the old interwebs is trying to break down SEO, explain what it means and show you how to do it. Scratch that surface and beneath it, you’ll find literally hundreds of sites and pages describing keywords, tagging, linking and all the tricks of helping your site rank at the top of Google search results. However, even if you’re an SEO master, you may not realize there are a few new tricks up the experienced content generator’s sleeve....

The company claims its dragster hit a blistering 168 mph (270 kmph) with a peak power output of 1,502 hp. That’s thanks to “four PN-250-DZR inverters coupled to a pair of DS-250-115s, giving four motors total and spinning at up to 10,000 revolutions per minute.” This kind of power also required Ford to develop a control algorithm specifically for the Cobra Jet 1400, as well as tune the chassis just so....

According to Jalopnik, a group of Black and white employees penned a letter to the company’s CEO, Jim Hackett, and chairman, Bill Ford, to broach the topic of Ford’s involvement in police violence that both spurred on and occurred during BLM protests. [Read: Uber to launch London boat taxis — but its operating license debacle remains unresolved] On more than one occasion, Ford vehicles have been used dangerously and aggressively to disperse crowds of vulnerable protestors....

In the years after landing the top job in Texan politics, Perry has since wrangled his way into President Trump’s cabinet, where, as Secretary of Energy, he’s responsible for maintaining America’s sizable nuclear arsenal. Oh yeah, and a few hours ago, he posted an image to his Instagram warning about a new change in the company’s privacy policy. This change, unless the user explicitly opts-out by posting the same image, would allow the Facebook-owned image sharing site to use his content in perpetuity....

Many of us believe we are masters of own destiny, but new research is revealing the extent to which our behavior is influenced by our genes. It’s now possible to decipher our individual genetic code, the sequence of 3.2 billion DNA “letters” unique to each of us, that forms a blueprint for our brains and bodies. This sequence reveals how much of our behavior has a hefty biological predisposition, meaning we might be skewed towards developing a particular attribute or characteristic....

Before we get there though, let’s talk about phone design a little. When we began our journey, bezels (the thick lines around phones) were everywhere. Just consider the iPhone 3GS as an example: But bezels stopped being cool somewhere around 2016 or 2017. Whether that was due to technological leaps or design (or both), manufacturers embraced the notch and rejected the bezel, which led to big increases in the screen-to-body ratio of phones....

A staggering 91.5 percent of viewers prefer to watch X-rated content with the sound on, according to data shared with TNW by adult site xHamster. By contrast, only 8.5 percent consume porn with the volume muted. The chart below reflects sound preferences for both mobile and desktop users. While the trend is consistent across devices, desktop users click the mute button a bit more often than mobile users. Indeed, 89 percent of all desktop users watch porn with the sound on, compared to 93 percent on mobile....

NordVPN is one of the most decorated online security services of all time. Five-star ratings from CNET and Trustpilot. Five stars from PCMag, who also bestowed NordVPN with one of their extremely rare Outstanding ratings. That crowded mantlepiece is evidence of NordVPN’s decade of industry dominance, a provider with almost 5,400 servers in 59 countries worldwide, servicing over 14 million users. Right now, NordVPN is trying to add to that total with their current deal, featuring two years of their trademark VPN protection at almost 70 percent off the regular price at just $89....

The best part? You can attach as many emails as you’d like. To do that, simply select the emails, and drag and drop them. Alternatively, you can right click the selected emails and use the “Forward as an attachment” option. Here’s how this works: Email attachment should come in handy when you have to forward multiple messages related to the same topic. Usually, that’d have to be done in separate emails, but the new implementation makes it possible to string forwards together....

The tech uses a combination of sensors and computer vision algorithms to take measurements through a smartphone camera. The Big G said the features will be available from next month on Pixel phones, with more Android devices to follow. Users will then be able to measure their breathing rate by placing their head and upper torso in view of the phone’s front-facing camera. [Read: How much does it cost to buy, own, and run an EV?...

The lack of the notch is one of the big evolutions of the Pixel 4. Last year’s phones (the surprisingly named Pixel 3 range) suffered with one of the worst notches I’ve ever seen on a phone. Honestly, I hated it. When the company released the 3a and 3a XL though (Google’s entry-level Pixel phones), the notch was no longer there, and the phone was so much better to use....
