Some five years ago, I wrote a popular article about side projects. In that article, I asked a simple question. What does a good side project look like? How can you know that a given side project you’re working on will actually push you further ahead in your career? In that article, I argued that the ideal side project should be something that helps you learn new skills. It should make money....

Here at Neural we believe in science. And the presence of evidence isn’t necessarily evidence that we’re present. That’s why we’re not willing to concede that it’s 2022 yet. What if the world really did end on 21 December 2012? The fact that you’re reading this makes it a bit hard to accept, but we think we can make a pretty strong argument. Reality? No thanks The first challenge we need to overcome is reality....

While this may be fairly common sense; the act of execution is not so straightforward. Maintaining a repository of accurate and trusted demographic identifiers remains a primary challenge for digital marketers in these parts of the world, as data can be scarce. And to clarify, I’m using the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ nomenclature to refer to two broad economic segments that populate and divide such urban centers along established and biased social-economic lines: the informed, quality-conscious upper middle class and those who still struggle to meet their basic needs as defined in the context of a robust and developed society....

The entertainment powerhouse hits that milestone after launching Disney+ in just over a dozen countries, eight of which are in Western Europe. [Read: How to watch Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and others with friends online] “We’re truly humbled that Disney+ is resonating with millions around the globe, and believe this bodes well for our continued expansion throughout Western Europe and into Japan and all of Latin America later this year,” said Disney exec Kevin Mayer in a press release....

Shifts in the Valley don’t happen in a vacuum. Around the world we’re seeing companies ditch the fraternal order in favor of the more mature, steady hand of a qualified C-suite. A college degree, once seen as optional, is now anything but. Of the Fortune 500 tech companies, none feature a (non-founding) CEO that dropped out of college. Of the 38 companies on the list, 22 of them have a CEO with a Master’s degree or higher....

While the DJI Mic is far from the first compact wireless microphone system, it stands out with its AirPods-like case. The chunky case holds two wireless microphones which pair to a single receiver, making it convenient for interviews, vlogs, and other situations in which you might want to record more than one audio source. The microphone system is compatible with virtually any device that can record audio, able to connect via USB-C, Lightning, or a good-old 3....

The video conferencing company boasts about end-to-end encryption on its website, and in a separate security-related white paper. However, The Intercept’s report found that the service uses transport encryption instead. [Read: This tool erases web page text to reveal hidden poetry] Transport encryption is a Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, that secures the connection between you and the server you’re connected to. That’s the same encryption used in a secure connection between you and any website with HTTPS protocol....

Musk has agreed to cap his Twitter stake at 14.9% during his stint on the board and for 90 days thereafter. His term is set to end in 2024. The Tesla tycoon’s existing 9.2% stake makes him the platform’s largest shareholder. If he wants to push it over 14.9%, he will have to relinquish his seat. The restriction applies to Musk as either the sole owner or as a member of a group — which should prevent his billionaire buddies from buying another portion....

Avatars are digital entities that represent users in a virtual world. When we embody an avatar, it becomes our body in virtual reality. We have control over its movements. If we look down, we see the body of our avatar where our real body would normally be. If we look into a virtual mirror, we see ourselves transformed into that avatar. Our avatar is also the way in which other people in the same virtual world see us....

The company has confirmed that it’s launching the new series initially just in India and Europe. That means the US will miss out on a potentially solid sub-$500 phone for now. So, what do we know about this phone? The company has spilled a lot of beans in recent weeks through interviews and announcements. In a chat with Android Authority, OnePlus’ co-founder, Carl Pei, said that the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G and run a version of OxygenOS....

Would you like … coffee? Would you like … a walk? We see sequences everywhere. Videos are sequences of images, audio files are sequences of sound samples, music is sequences of notes. In all cases, there is a temporal dependency between the individual members of the sequence. Changing the order of frames in a video will render it meaningless. Changing the order of words in a sentence or article can completely change its meaning....

If you’ve been on Twitter recently, you’ll have seen people donning a username with a .eth suffix. You can see an example in the screengrab below. In this article, we’ll discuss what this .eth suffix means, and how you can get one and use it. Here we go! What the hell is a .eth domain? In a nutshell, it’s a domain name for your crypto wallet. It works just like it does on the internet (like www....

Online misinformation about the virus and vaccines is a major concern. In one study, survey respondents who got some or all of their news from Facebook were significantly more likely to resist the COVID-19 vaccine than those who got their news from mainstream media sources. As a researcher who studies social and civic media, I believe it’s critically important to understand how misinformation spreads online. But this is easier said than done....

According to Facebook CFO David Wehner, the company has committed to the amount, broken down into specific projects to improve the state. $150 million, for example, will go towards building affordable housing in the San Francisco Bay Area. It also wants to build “essential worker housing,” intended to “fund construction of housing on county-owned land for teachers and other essential workers, enabling them to live near the communities where they work....

As highlighted in a tweet from European automotive market analyst, Matthias Schmidt, Germany is literally doubling its stimulus payments for buyers of electric vehicles. In short, new EV buyers could receive up to €9,000 ($10,000) towards purchase of a new BEV. Petrol and diesel cars omitted from the German government’s stimulus package. BEVs will see a government contribution for electric cars rise from €3k to €6k with the manufacturer’s contribution remaining the same (€3k)....

200 megapixels is where it’s at. Samsung today announced its latest and greatest smartphone camera sensor, the Isocell HP1, a 200-megapixel beast that dwarfs even the highest-resolution professional cameras. For reference, that’s enough theoretical resolution to fill up each pixel in a 4K display… 24 times. The effective resolution will naturally be lower due to the quality of the lens and processing, but still — that’s a whole lot of pixels....

Google first announced this feature would arrive ‘soon’ way back in December, but clearly the company has a different definition of the word than I do. Whatever the cause for the delay, the feature is finally rolling out to users ‘gradually,’ the company confirmed to The Verge. The update was first spotted by XDA’s Mishaal Rahman, who found the feature while messing with Google Home’s code. — Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman) April 21, 2020 As shown in Rahman’s screenshots, the feature includes a simple slider that let you adjust the speaker from ‘least sensitive’ to ‘most sensitive....

Husain noted that the bug didn’t allow classic email spoofing where you can put any value in the sender’s field. But it could mimic any Gmail or GSuite user to send emails. The bug could also let attackers bypass protection protocols such as Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) that protect you from spoofing. These techniques compare the sender’s IP address to a pre-approved list of IPs from the domain that is allowed to send emails....

In 2017, Apple rolled out its ITP technology, one of the most highly regarded privacy protection kits for the web around the world. The system clears out first-party cookies regularly and blocks third-party cookies by default, making it difficult for advertisers to track users. In the paper, Google’s team noted that these vulnerabilities would’ve resulted in the third-party company getting hold of sensitive and private browsing information. The flaw even allowed a site to carry out a cross-site attack and introduce another domain into the ITP list....
