Technology tamfitronics
A Virginia-based technology company will pay more than $38,000 in penalties for posting a discriminatory job advertisement that only sought to hire White U.S. citizens, the Justice Department announced.
Arthur Grand Technologies Inc., a firm that provides information technology services, in March 2023 posted a job advertisement for a business analyst position on the hiring site Indeed that asked in a bolded note for “Only Born US Citizens [White] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas,” according to a Justice Department news release. “Don’t share with candidates,” the advertisement read in brackets. Outrage quickly followed when the job posting was shared on social media.

Google sends artificial intelligence into space. Project Suncatcher is the tech giant’s craziest plan yet
The development of AI means that modern data centers consume astronomical amounts of energy and water, generating a huge carbon footprint. Google decided to attack this problem in a way that would have sounded like science fiction just a few years ago. The company has just revealed an ambitious plan to move its AI infrastructure to low Earth orbit. The project involves sending a constellation of satellites equipped with Trillium TPU systems, connected by advanced optical links.The sun emits over 100 trillion times more energy than humanity produces globally. In the right orbit, solar panels are up to 8 times more efficient than those installed on Earth.This private Vast Space space station will surprise NASA. The commercial orbital station Haven-1 will be launched in 2026Google Research has revealed the foundations of Project Suncatcher, which involves...
Infor Hospitality and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are bringing hotel leaders together for Innovation Fest 2025

‘Almost like battleship Galactica’: Chan Chun Sing on Singapore navy’s new Victory-class Multi-Role Combat Vessels, Singapore News
Singapore's new multi-role combat vessels (MRCVs) are "almost like the battleship Galactica"in the 1970s science fiction series Battlestar Galactica, because their weapon systems and capabilities can be evolved as the mission evolves, said Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing.
Speaking on Tuesday (Oct 21) at the launch of the first Victory-class MRCV named Victory at ST Engineering's Benoi shipyard, Chan said that as Singapore's sea lines of communications extend further, new capabilities, such as the MRCVs are needed for Singapore to ensure that these strategic lines, "remain open and accessible".
Referring to the challenges which lie ahead, Chan said that the MRCVs can help the navy and the wider Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) to stay ahead of threats.
"What we need is a ship that can keep evolving with our operational requirements. And that is why, when this ship...
Ferrari is building the sleekest electric vehicle on Earth—but among those who can afford it, very few will have the opportunity to buy it
When the Italian luxury carmaker Ferrari announced in early October its first ever fully-electric vehicle, it begged the question “What will a company known for prioritizing speed and sleek design over fuel efficiency bring to this competitive corner of the car market?”
While most details about Ferrari’s Elettrica EV, including its appearance and price, remain a mystery ahead of a planned launch in the spring of 2026, the company said it will go from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds; have a battery with a capacity of 122 kWh to ensure recharging in as little as eight minutes; and boast a range of 323 miles on one charge. In other words, the company is promising the kind of excellence aficionados expect from Ferrari, beloved since 1947 when it started making cars renowned for...

U.K. Researchers Conclude Most Viewers Can’t Discern 8K (or Even 4K) Resolution
(Image credit: DirecTV for Business)Researchers in the U.K. have confirmed what many in the broadcast industry have known for years: most viewers have trouble detecting 8K—or even 4K—video resolution.
According to the researchers at the University of Cambridge and Meta Reality Labs, the human eye has a resolution limit: in other words, there are only so many pixels the eye can see. Above this limit, a screen is giving our eyes more information than they can detect.To calculate the resolution limit, the researchers conducted a study that measured participants’ ability to detect specific features in color and greyscale images on a screen, whether looking at the images straight on or through their peripheral vision, and when the screen was close to them or further away.
The precise resolution limit depends on a number of variables, including the...

The ex-CIA scientist brothers perfecting Halloween
Crowley Place is a sleepy street in the Waynewood area of south Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb 30 minutes from DC. The unassuming homes are well-tended, and it’s a quick walk to six different churches.
But each year at Halloween the police shut down the street as thousands of visitors flock to the area. It’s all due to two ageing brothers who spent 40 years working together in secret at a laboratory in the CIA.
For six weeks, no matter what was going on in the world, the Park brothers would take leave from the agency – using vacation, sick days, and anything else they could think of— and construct an elaborate front-yard Halloween display, often using CIA-inspired technology.
How Agents Can Use AI to Power Up Their Daily Hustle
Artificial intelligence is more than the latest buzzword — it’s everywhere. Quite literally.
And, if the views and shares of our recent ChatGPT blog are any indication, real estate agents love the idea of using AI to help streamline their business. But, like with most new technology, it can be tough to dive in.
We heard you. So, let’s look at seven more ways AI can change your daily hustle.
#1. Write better (and more interesting) social media posts
Chatbots are all the rage right now.
Chatbots, or artificial intelligence tools powered by text-based prompts, are quickly sweeping the tech world and taking it by storm. Of course, you’ve heard of ChatGPT, but other up-and-coming writing tools include Bard, Google’s newest entry into the world of artificial intelligence.
Because these chatbots produce written responses, they can be used to help...
In 1925, seven students went 60 hours without sleep—for science
Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday.The grueling Medical College Admission Test, or MCAT, was first devised in the 1920s by George Washington University professor Frederick August Moss. Originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test for Medical Students, Moss developed the readiness test as a way to curb high dropout rates in medical schools. The MCAT paved the way for other standardized admission exams, like the SAT, and the many sleepless nights college-bound students still endure in preparation. But Moss likely wouldn’t have minded that sleepless legacy: To Moss, a psychology professor at GWU, sleep was a useless habit.
In November 1925, Popular Science writer Newton Burke described an experiment Moss conceived of to assess whether sleep was a “tragic waste of a third of the precious hours of...
