For example, I thought this would be the ideal time to catch-up on TV, and binge some of those series that I’d missed — but… I really haven’t felt like watching much of anything to be honest. But there has been one medium that’s grabbed my attention throughout COVID: graphic novels and comic books. And you know what? This is the ideal time to either rediscover or explore them for the first time — and I’m here to help....
The world and its global economy are chiming with wild variety, and with that comes a miscellany of rules and regulations reflective of the jurisdiction one is trying to govern. What works for A doesn’t necessarily work for B, and as you can imagine, these systems are further fragmented as we engender a new digital economy in the age of social media. Fractionalization and a greater willingness to share intellectual property have created a vortex where a variety of demographics cannot only access financial information with ease but unknowingly act on the wave of misinformation constantly flowing through the system....
Halo 2: Anniversary arrives on PC as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on May 12! https://t.co/y5NHDTiQ1E pic.twitter.com/HVzgxIuY8V — Halo (@Halo) May 5, 2020 Halo 2 Anniversary is the remastered version of Halo 2 originally released with the MCC on the Xbox One back in 2014. The MCC has so far been a delight on Steam, proving Microsoft made the right choice in bringing its games back to Valve’s platform....

“You can’t do anything with it except sell it to somebody else,” Buffett told CNBC. “But then that person’s got the problem.” The “Omaha Oracle” then inferred criminal activity to be the primary use-case for cryptocurrencies. So, a logical offset to holding Bitcoin would be shorting suitcases — betting that Big Suitcase fails as money launderers opt to move illicit funds with Bitcoin rather than cash in suitcases, because Scorsese movies are documentaries....
There are a lot of companies out there that claim to do artificial intelligence (AI). You’ll find the omnipresent initials appended to domain names or within the first few words of a pitch deck, but, frankly, a lot of it is BS. Usually, it’s a set of simple regressions and/or heuristics that require a human monitor, making it more of a semi-automation system. A true, robust AI system enables in-the-moment decision-making with the influx of new data — all without human oversight (*some initial assembly required)....
What is driver-assist? Driver-assist is also called Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS). It refers to, and encompasses functions and technology that augment the driving experience of the driver. These include: Blindspot detection. Front, rear, and cross-traffic alerts. Collision avoidance. Lane departure warning. Forward and side collision warning. Adaptive cruise control. Park assist. For example, Volvo’s driver-assist functionality is called Volvo Pilot Assist and provides steering assistance to help the driver stay within lane markings on a road....
On October 8th, Indivisible was released to both positive receptions from players and professional critics. However, publications rarely took the time to highlight the game’s use of multiculturalism and/or how Indivisible just might be one of the most diverse games of 2019 — if not the most. So, how does a game elevate itself beyond mere “representation PR spin” and instead become something genuine and earnest from start to finish?...
The games were previously delisted from sale, given how the servers that support them will be shutting down in about a week. But according to the Minecraft: Story Mode Facebook page, taking it off the Xbox 360 store resulted in the users who already owned the game being unable to download any episodes they had not previously. Since that defeats the purpose of a grace period before server shutdown, the game was relisted, but with a twist....
Clearly, this is a worst-case-scenario. It’s also a rare occurrence. According to the National Fire Protection Association, only about three percent of auto fires are caused by a collision. And only 0.09 percent of collisions result in a fire. For an electric vehicle (EV), the risks are a bit different. There’s still a chance of fire, of course. But the biggest concern isn’t that of fire, but a powerful electric shock caused by the vehicle’s sizable batteries....

A new experiment conducted aboard the International Space Station (ISS) showed certain bacteria can extract materials from rocks found on the Moon and Mars useful to interplanetary colonists. Bacteria mining the Moon and Mars, interplanetary colonists could obtain iron, magnesium, and minerals to supply systems providing air and water. “Single-celled organisms have evolved over time on Earth to extract nutrients and other essential compounds from rocks through specialized chemical reactions....
That’s because repeated stress can have a huge impact on our brain, putting us at risk of a number of physical and psychological problems. Repeated stress is a major trigger for persistent inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation can lead to a range of health problems, including diabetes and heart disease. The brain is normally protected from circulating molecules by a blood-brain barrier. But under repeated stress, this barrier becomes leaky and circulating inflammatory proteins can get into the brain....
We all know the world is changing, at least in the abstract. But it’s hard to visualize because we have such a limited view of it in our day-to-day lives. We don’t see how mountains, oceans, and forests change over the course of decades because our human perspective is so miniscule. It’s thanks to the likes of Google Earth and satellite imagery that we can even properly see the world in its scope....
The good news is, going forward, you won’t have to think so much. The age of data-based politics is coming to a close thanks to the innovations created by the 2016 Donald Trump campaign and the counteracting tactics employed by the Biden team in 2020. Data used to be the most important commodity in politics. When Trump won in 2016, it wasn’t on the strength of his platform (he didn’t have one)....
Business leaders are looking to ensure that their organizations are doing their part to address the impact of climate change. After another year of extreme weather events — from Hurricane Ian in the United States to heat waves in the UK and floods in Pakistan, the need to transition into a more sustainable world has become clearer than ever before, and companies are now expected to reach new levels of action....
It’s common for us to work on these projects using Jupyter notebooks because they’re great, fast, simple, and they allow us to interact and play with our data. However there are limitations to what we can do, normally when we work with charts we use libraries like matplotlib or seaborn, but those libraries render static images of our charts and graphs. Many things get lost in the details, and thus we need to fine-tune our charts to explore sections of our data....
Dubbed the CARES Act — Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act — the stimulus package means the majority of Americans should receive their money via direct deposit, while others will receive their checks via mail. The timing of the rollout, however, has been uncertain, with some people receiving their deposits already, and others still waiting. If you need that money sooner rather than later, you might be anxious to find out when the money is being deposited – or if it’s going to the right bank account....

Netflix is certainly a popular service, but that doesn’t mean it’s totally devoid of flaws. I remember when I first took the plunge and signed up for Netflix. In minutes, I had a world of film and TV at my finger tips; I was so excited. But as time has gone on, I’m finding it harder to find good things to watch. I often find myself endlessly scrolling through suggestions of things I’ve either already seen, or am not interested in (as do many of my colleagues, as it happens)....
