What’s more, for reasons we’ll never understand, Elon Musk thinks that going from a standstill to 60 mph in under two seconds isn’t quite fast enough. He’s mused on the idea of adding cold gas thrusters to the Roadster to help it accelerate off the line even faster and get to 60 in 1.1 seconds. Naturally, Musk has called this the SpaceX pack. The only things that can accelerate faster than this are specialist drag cars which are specifically designed to go so fast you leave your face behind....

The goal is pretty simple, use the spacebar (or the up arrow) to jump over the obstacles until you reach the end. There are also three different maps you can choose between — you can click 1, 2, or 3 on your keyboard before you’ve started the game to select one. Once you’re done, simply click “R” to start again. TitleRun comes with its own booklet, which you can add to your bookmark bar....

So, you might want to see how a show fares over various seasons before investing your time into it. A developer named Benjamin Mizrahi came up with a neat solution. He made a web app that rates episodes across all seasons. The idea is simple: go to this website and type in a show’s name to get its rating. The tool uses rating of each episode from IMDb to plot a chart line....

At TNW Conference, the computer scientist gave a one-word answer: “Nope.” That snub may seem to clash with Berners-Lee’s recent actions. The 67-year-old now campaigns to save his “dysfunctional” brainchild from the clutches of Big Tech. He’s also made a cool $5.4million by selling an NFT — one of Web3’s supposed pillars. But the Brit has his own vision for the web’s successor: a decentralized architecture that gives users control of their data....

So to help you out with cheap gifts, we decided to put out a list of our favorite tech purchases under $50. Don’t worry, cheap doesn’t mean bad. These are some of the best value for money choices, and your friends would thank you for ages....

And speaking of which, it’s that time of the year again. Time to tally up which games were our favorites of 2019, which ones left the best impression on us here at TNW. As with last year, only games that were released for the first time this year (barring remakes) were eligible for the list, and even with all our efforts we couldn’t play every game that came out this year....

Simply hiring more women or filling minority quotas isn’t going to cut it. Diversity policies can be short-sighted, with management striving to level the gender playing field for compliance or altruistic purposes. And, the narrative around gender diversity in business culture can be weak, with many misinterpreting what it means for a company to be inclusive. To highlight this, a study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) recently found that despite 98 percent of companies surveyed having diversity programs, only a quarter of employees in diverse groups said they personally benefited from them....

Developers Vicarious Visions seem to be aware that all it needs to do is appeal to the game’s very nostalgic fans. Up to now, every single piece of information released as reassured everyone that the game will be the same classic as it ever was, just with a new, HD coat of paint. But we now know there will be some new additions, namely new skaters. The guest skaters include Nyjah Huston, Leo Baker, Leticia Bufoni, Aori Nishimura, Lizzie Armanto, Shane O’Neill, Riley Hawk, and Tyshawn Jones....

While having TQ as a standalone brand was important at the time of its creation, we know that we can do much more for our community by operating under the established TNW brand. TNW spaces and our exceptional residents will forge into 2020 with the strength of TNW’s partner network, media platform, and events – gaining greater impact and visibility on a global scale. TNW launched TQ in 2016 in a bright and bustling space in the centre of Amsterdam, and its community has since grown to 1,000 happy residents across two unique spaces in the city....

Conquering cognitive bias: A quantitative approach When evaluating an investment, traders use several strategies to better identify entry and exit opportunities. Among them is qualitative and quantitative analysis. The latter involves statistical modeling on technical aspects such as volatility and historical performance, while the former concerns data analysis pertaining to company management, earnings, competitive advantage, and other such subjective information. Per the 2020 PwC–Elwood Crypto Hedge Fund Report, however, it’s the quantitative approach that stands as a clear favorite among crypto fund managers....

— Joydeep Roy (@jdroy_) June 28, 2021 Despite the correction, a lawyer has filed a complaint against Twitter India chief Manish Maheshwari in a police station located in the populous state of Uttar Pradesh. He has been booked for laws related to conducting public mischief. Maheshwari has already had a complaint lodged against him by Ghaziabad city police related to not taking action on a violent video. The police and Maheshwari are engaged in a court battle over preventing “coercive action” against the latter....

In a document published earlier this week, the Public Utilities Commission, the regulators that oversee the likes of Uber and other ride-hail services, said that its drivers are employees and must be compensated accordingly. [Read: How mysterious EV startup Nikola overtook Ford in one night — without selling a single car] According to the report, the regulators have also told ride-hailing firms that their workers must be given compensation coverage by July 1 — as required by the AB5 laws which state gig workers must be treated as employees....

My daughter is currently working in a restaurant, thus getting a crash course in economics, problem-solving, planning, and social behavior. While she’s learning new skills — I’m listening. Recently she educated me on the true power dynamics of waiting on people. At first, I thought it would be pretty simple: a waiter serves the guest, it’s clear who is paying whom, so it’s pretty clear who’s in charge and who isn’t....

Called “L’arrivée d’un train en gare de La Ciotat,” the 50-second French short documentary shows a train arriving at Ciotat train station. The film is famous for allegedly causing theater goers at the time to panic out of fear the train would burst through the screen and crash into them. While this tale is largely dismissed as little more than legend, it’s easy to imagine the impact such a visual would have had on someone who’d never seen a motion picture before....

In fact, if you watch it above, you’ll see a pretty sleek self-balancing motorbike on an enclosed road, a person who looks like a test rider, and an awe-struck crowd. You’ll also hear the clicks of out-of-frame photographers capturing the action on camera — basically, all the hallmarks of a major unveiling. But wait a minute. First of all, Honda has made no official announcement. Secondly, the company has indeed revealed a self-balancing concept bike… back in 2017....

Artificial intelligence is far too often a solution looking for a problem. So it’s refreshing when someone manages to find the perfect way to apply a simple AI trick to a huge problem plaguing humanity. And that’s exactly what serial creator Nick Bild’s done (again) with his novel AI-powered stop-motion animation system. Simply put, the big problem with creating stop-motion animation is that it takes forever. Typically speaking, it takes hours worth of work to capture a few minutes of footage....

These figures are just the tip of the iceberg. From socialization to society-wide prejudice, women are confronted by difficulties at every turn in the startup, tech, and business worlds. But that doesn’t mean success can’t be found, far from it in fact. There are rafts of women thriving in business — and one of those is Trinny Woodall, the co-founder of Trinny London, a premium beauty and skincare brand. We caught up with Woodall at TNW2022 and spoke with her about how to make it in business as a woman....

I wrote a deliberatively provocative, unpopular opinion piece for our Just Putting It Out There series. My view? Fuck dark mode. I’m not going to get into my argument now (you can read my thoughts here), because that’s not what this article is about. No, it’s focusing on the people (mainly dudes) on Twitter who got really, really fucking angry about my piece. Was I shocked at the response? Not really....

Not to take away from the true meaning of Memorial Day, but the unofficial start to the summer season has become — like most American holidays — a great time to find some awesome deals. Since many of us still aren’t ranging too far away from our homes just yet, we pulled together 10 of the best apps and software packages on sale this weekend, all with lifetime subscriptions, into one place....
