Instead of baking bread or doing puzzles, the team at Wolfgang IP decided to make a new state-of-the-art solar EV truck. The makers note: It makes watching the entire Games of Thrones and Stranger Things boxsets — again — seem rather redundant, doesn’t it? We assembled an international team of top automotive designers, sculptors, engineers, research consultants, and marketers. Introducing the Thundertruck solar EV truck According to the Wolfgang team, the time is ripe for a really well-designed truck: Their baby is called Thundertruck....

Back in his 2008 book “Outliers,” writer Malcolm Gladwell pitched a theory that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to actually get good at something. From Bill Gates to the Beatles, he determined that those thousands of hours spent honing your craft were, in essence, an almost magic number and the true crucible that forged greatness. Of course, 10,000 hours is a lot of time. And while playing instruments and performing for 10,000 hours may seem straightforward, how does someone with aspirations to, say, launch a graphic design career fill that 10,000-hour requirement?...

One in every ten girls in Sub-Saharan Africa miss school during menstruation and this could affect the goal number four on quality education of the UN’s Agenda 2030 on sustainable development, according to the UNESCO. When Mwangi moved to Nairobi and visited schools in the city’s informal settlement areas, her interactions with girls confirmed that majority of them lacked access to sanitary pads. “Some were even using sponges and other unsafe pieces of clothes....

All you need to do to wipe an object from footage is draw a box around it, and the software takes care of the rest for you. Here are a couple examples of the AI in action: As you will notice, while the algorithm gets rid of the person crossing the street in a rather convincing way, it leaves some traces of foul play. The upper white line bends as the camera moves with the now-gone subject....

Well, it’s now possible. Extraluminal is an Internet of Things (IoT) device that will notify you an hour before the Earth is about to be destroyed by a supernova. What is a supernova? A supernova refers to “the cataclysmic explosion of a massive star at the end of its life. It can emit more energy in a few seconds than our sun will radiate in its lifetime of billions of years....

You think you’re pretty smart. It’s ok. Just go ahead and admit it out loud. You think you’re at least a step or two ahead of just about everybody else around you. It’s alright. It’s cool. We’re not going to rat you out for your exaggerated sense of superiority. In fact, we’re going to play right into your elevated self-assurance. Think you could finish a jigsaw puzzle worth $1 million?...

With so much on their plate, it’s easy for a small business leader to take their eye off the ball from time to time. With the day-to-day realities of overseeing production, operations, sales and more, it’s not uncommon for bottom line numbers, the true indicators of a business’ overall health and viability, to get lost in the shuffle. For 35 years, Quickbooks has been the small business accounting software dedicated to making sure those lifeblood figures never fall off the radar....

But Scotland-based AWS Ocean Energy aims to change that. The startup has reported results 20% better than expected for its Archimedes Waveswing, a prototype wave energy generator that, for the past six months, has been undergoing ocean-based testing at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney. The Archimedes Waveswing is a 50-ton, cylindrical metal buoy that’s tethered to the seabed. It reacts to changes in sub-sea water pressure caused by passing waves and converts the resulting motion to electricity via a direct-drive generator....

For anyone who’s ever needed to build a graphic for a website, a presentation, marketing materials or something else, you’ve probably come to a frustrating conclusion.

To find the next big artist, record labels and executives need to listen to demos or go to gigs in search of gems. Andrson is trying to change all this by breaking down songs and providing more data about tracks. What problem is it solving? When we listen to a new artist, we mentally compare them to songs and bands we know. Andrson is making this phenomenon possible by using AI to assign a similarity score to a band and their songs....

Up-front: Trump said at a press conference on Tuesday that he’s the lead representative in the class-action lawsuits: The former president also said his team would make sure that liability protections provided to tech firms under section 230 are “at a very minimum changed — and at a very maximum, taken away.” As for who is taking on the case, Trump said he’s recruited the “best lawyers — the tobacco lawyers....

“Great job by Elon Musk in agreeing to build, in TEXAS [sic], what is expected to be the largest auto plant anywhere in the world,” said Trump in a tweet. “Texas and Tesla are big winners.” — Donald J.

The Escobar Inc empire is rolling out its second foldable phone, the Fold 2. “THE OFFICIAL ESCOBAR FOLD 2 SMARTPHONE IS THE REAL SAMSUNG KILLER PHONE,” marketing copy reads, in all caps. “REST IN PEACE SAMSUNG, PABLO ALWAYS WINS [emphasis added].” The launch is accompanied by a handful of thoughtful commercials.

The web is ready to show you virtually anything you want any time you want it. But if it’s a livestream, or if you only have temporary access to a video, there’s no guarantee you’ll ever be able to see it again. Like if you’re on Twitch playing the most ultimate League of Legends campaign ever. Or if you’re watching your favorite band on a music festival livestream. Or your boss is giving the most excellent Zoom presentation in the history of video conferencing....

Twitter says it uses “a number of different signals” to determine a user’s language, not just the language selected in their profile settings. The company also looks at the languages that correspond to their activity on Twitter, meaning a user can be targeted by multiple languages if Twitter decides that a user is multilingual. For advertisers, using the feature is a very straightforward two-step process: Here’s how Twitter explains the benefits of the new feature: Other social networks have had this for a long time, so it’s not exactly groundbreaking....

The new feature lets users schedule a tweet on a specific date and time. You can even look at your all your scheduled tweets in the scheduling window. Scheduling seems to be currently available only to some folks on Twitter for desktop. It’s not clear if this is just a test, or if the feature is rolling out for Twitter’s users for desktop all over the world. We have asked Twitter for more details, and we’ll update the story if we hear back....
