Twitter is fixing that behavior now by introducing an update to reply limitations: you can turn them on after tweeting. The company made this announcement through its safety account last night. — Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) July 13, 2021 Sometimes you might’ve sent a tweet you thought to be harmless, but if trolls pick up on it, you only had the option to mute the conversation. But now, if replies get abusive or unbearable, you can turn on the reply filter to limit that....

Mental health issues have many causes. However, the changing and unpredictable elements of our physical and sensory environments have a profound impact on risk, experiences, and recovery. Physical activity is still the mainstay of urban planning efforts to enable healthy behaviours. Mental well-being is then a hoped-for byproduct of opportunities for exercise and social interaction. Neuroscientific research and tools now allow us to examine more deeply some of the ways in which individuals experience spaces and natural elements....

The bill reportedly seeks to ban US banks from processing “significant” transactions for overseas firms both working on 5G tech and engaging in industrial espionage. The US government has previously accused Huawei of bank fraud and stealing trade secrets. [READ: US accuses Huawei of stealing trade secrets and racketeering] “It is time for the Trump administration to take swift and forceful action to block Huawei from accessing the U.S. financial system,” said senate democrat Charles Schumer, who Reuters notes has sponsored the bill alongside Republicans Mike Gallagher and Tom Cotton....

The company says it’s developed this phone with 5G in mind. The device features Qualcomm’s X50 model to support network technology. Plus, it has six antennas arranged in a way that doesn’t block signals regardless of how you hold the phone. To make its waterfall display that curves all the way almost to the back, the company has used a Samsung Plastic OLED (POLED) panel. The Chinese manufacturer says the Nex 3 has an insane screen-to-body ratio of 99....

If you need proof, watch the video of this Toyota Motorsport Group modified, street-legal, electric Radical, destroy the Nürburgring in under eight minutes — 7 minutes 47 seconds to be precise. The most mind boggling part of this, is that it did it way back in 2011 (that’s 10 years ago!), and was the first EV to go under the eight-minute mark on the German course. Sure, it’s street-legal, but it’s not exactly a family saloon....

[Read: UK takes next step toward world of e-scooters, self-driving cars, and autonomous drones] Waymo, Alphabet’s self-driving division, announced yesterday that it would pause its self-driving taxi services in Phoenix, Arizona, Reuters reports. Its fully autonomous services will continue, it added. In other words, if it has a safety driver, the service will cease, for now. The autonomous transportation service also said it’s pausing its self-driving tests in California....

But what on earth is a “time crystal”, if not a sci-fi gadget in the latest Marvel movie? Why do we need a quantum computer to make one? And what is aquantum computer anyway? Bits and qubits Let’s start there. Computers are all around us. Some are compact, portable, and primarily used to stream Netflix, while others fill entire rooms and simulate complex phenomena like the weather or the evolution of our Universe....

But with a first presidential debate that was so difficult to watch, even Pence’s fly didn’t want any part of it/had better things to do, it was hard to pinpoint any … ehummm clear policy stances. That’s why we decided to take a closer look at which issues the public, the media, and the candidates themselves are talking about most. To do this, we teamed up with audience intelligence platform, Pulsar....

The NASA probe hasn’t hit the giant star’s surface, but it has entered the mysterious solar atmosphere — known as the corona. The Parker Solar Probe achieved the feat in April, but scientists have only now confirmed it. NASA first proposed sending a spacecraft to the sun in 1958, but has only recently had the tech to bring the plans to reality. A big challenge was building a probe that could survive the 3 million degrees Fahrenheit heat of the corona....

It is a distinction that could have significant implications for the earning rights of Uber drivers, at a potentially heavy cost to the firm, which is fighting similar challenges around the world. The ruling could also have a marked effect on the wider gig economy, paving the way for similar claims that could come from online tutors, supply teachers, or freelancers. Future cases are likely to test how far the February 2021 judgment stretches....

As you might’ve guessed, you view the photo or video once, and poof! It’s gone. This new type of disappearing content will be labeled with a new icon denoting their ephemeral nature. This has a few obvious benefits. For one, not all photos are sent with the intention of remaining permanent; this helps the sender maintain some control over how long images are stored. It also means you don’t have to waste precious storage on photos you’re almost certainly never going to look at again....

When I bought my first house, I wanted to make some home improvements and needed tools. While I was mostly looking for a drill, I was amazed when I happened upon a great deal at the hardware store. An incredible 3-in-1 machine that would solve all my present and future needs: drilling, sanding, and sawing. It was made of a heavy base that contained the battery and motor. Then on top of that, there was a socket where you could attach the different components to turn it into a drill, sander, or saw....

In fact, even now in 2020, AI is still dumber than a baby. Most AI experts – those with boots on the ground in the researcher and developer communities – believe the path forward is through continued investment in status quo systems. Rome, as they say, wasn’t built in one day and human-level AI systems won’t be either. But Gary Marcus, an AI and cognition expert and CEO of robotics company Robust....

The story as narrated by Tania: Last semester, our class got split into three different groups in order to develop a safety technology solution for Swiss or German brands: Group 1: Only women (my group) Group 2: Only men Group 3: Four women and one man After 4 weeks of work, each team had to present their work. Group 1, composed of only women, developed a safety solution for women in the dark....

If SARS-CoV-2 resurges in the winter, it will be one in a crowded field of wintertime respiratory viruses, including influenza, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and four other coronavirus strains that normally cause common cold-like symptoms. What effect might these other viruses have on the spread of SARS-CoV-2? Will they coexist harmoniously, or could they push SARS-CoV-2 out of circulation? We can’t yet be certain, but we can look to the historical interactions between these and other well-known viruses to outline the possibilities....

Well, I don’t live in the EU or the UK, but a new law passed by the European Parliament will force consumer electronics makers to make some appliances — including TVs, refrigerators, washers, and hairdryers — repairable for a decade. We’ve all faced this problem where we couldn’t open an appliance because it needed special tools or its parts were glued together. According to a report from Associated Press, the new laws require manufacturers to make appliances in a way anyone can open them with conventional tools....
