The price of bitcoin has reachedUS$50,000(36,095) another all-time high. Its hard to believe that 10,000 bitcoin would only buya couple of pizzasten years ago. Its even stranger to think that bitcoins are completely virtual. You cant hold one, except on a hard drive, and theres no underlying asset to them. Then you needed to take the 3m-wide lump of rock back to Yap without sinking in the Pacific. No one is quite sure when it started, but the practice is at least several centuries old....

But now the app has gone far beyond being just hype. Now its actually become aprofession.Battenhall, a London-based communications agency, ishiring a Senior Clubhouse Executive. Yup, for reals. Ive got to admit Im pretty skeptical about Clubhouses value (you couldnt tell, right?). First up, WTF is Clubhouse? Essentially, its a live audio social online grid that launched in private beta back in April 2020. Case in point, theres already ahost of support appsfor the platform and even aconciergeservice....

NASAsPerseverance roversuccessfully touched down on Marsthis morning, and has already begun beaming back images. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. A fragment of the NWA7397 meteorite, found in the Sahara desert in 2012. Back in 1996, one Martian meteorite,ALH84001, was controversially thought to contain fossilized bacteria. This means Mars has mostly lost the protective magnetic field that deflects cosmic radiation. But we are confident Mars once had an ocean, containing water as we know it....

Shared mobility as we all know has come a long way over the past decades. From conventional public transit buses toremote-controllede-scooters, the space has forever been evolving to cover all aspects of transportation. Mobilizing people (individuals) over shorter distances has been the focus of micromobility (viz. Bikes, scooters). Factors such as parking and zonal (e.g. city-center) restrictions seem to impact the decision to leave ones car behind more. There clearly is a gap that exists between micromobility and carsharing....

I deleted LinkedIn this week. From work/life coaches who just want to ask me one question. Ive been focusing on reducing the channels and interactions that I invest my time in. 40% off TNW Conference! I spent the day receiving over 500 (!) Some of those birthday greetings were the only interaction I had ever had with these contacts. [Read:How do you build a pet-friendly gadget? I have no need for that....

One glance at the state of things and its evident humanitys evolved itself into a corner. On the one hand, were smart enough to create machines that learn. On the other,people are dying in Texasbecauseelected officialswant to keep the government out of Texas. Chew on that for a second. What we need is asuperherobetter villain.

But with the Wi-Fi speeds I get with my Netgear router,Imthe one pointing and laughing and mocking. Not sure at who, really, butsomeone. Yes, I am a man in love with a router: the Nighthawk RAX120. Let me spin you a tale. Back in the day, home networks were my shit. Your boy had a remotely accessible media library back when internet speeds made that useless. But, over the years, I got lazy....

Teaching yourself deep learning is a long and arduous process. Knowing where to start, however, can help a lot in softening the learning curve. Most books on deep learning require a basic knowledge ofmachine learningconcepts and algorithms. Trasks book teaches you the fundamentals of deep learning without any prerequisites aside from basic math and programming skills. In contrast,Grokking Deep Learningteaches you deep learning by building everything from scratch, line by line....

I have always been envious of some professionals that with their know-how may have an impact on day-to-day life. Databelow are not coming from scraping, and have been generated usingthis script. The consequences of this chart? Lets see how Data Science helped our search! To extract more insightful knowledge I needed to enhance this dataset. Unfortunately, this information is quite easy to conceal or craft. Finally, I enhanced the dataset with some utility fields to make the filtering easier (e....

I thought the controversial first-person survival/shooter gameSix Days in Fallujahwas dead over a decade ago. At the time, I felt its cancellation was good riddance to bad rubbish. But today I learned its back on schedule for a 2021 release. My complete disdain for this title has a bit more nuance today. I enlisted in the US Navy exactly 21 years ago today, on 17 February 2000. I knew at least two of the US Marines who died in the 2004 battle the video game portrays....

The world population is estimated to reach 9.5 billion by 2050. This process can be fuelled using substances called substrates, which include organic materials found in wastewater.

Common MFC systems consist of an anode chamber and a cathode chamber separated by a membrane....
