Reddit, a platform known for its user-generated content and online forums, has recently come under scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding its data-licensing business. The company’s attempt to monetize its data through the training of artificial intelligence systems has raised concerns about privacy, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance. The FTC’s non-public inquiry into
Tesla, the electric vehicle maker, recently settled a racist discrimination lawsuit with a former employee, Owen Diaz. Diaz, a Black man who worked as an elevator operator at Tesla’s Fremont, California factory in 2015, had initially been awarded $3.2 million in damages by a federal jury.

Reddit, in preparation for its upcoming IPO, revealed that by licensing user posts to tech giants like Google for AI projects, it could potentially generate $203 million in revenue over the next few years. However, this move has already attracted attention from US regulators. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently sent a letter to Reddit
Over the past decade, flexible sensors have made significant advancements in sensing capabilities. However, measuring complex deformations resulting from forces or strains from multiple axes remains a challenge due to the lack of independent perception of multi-axial stimuli. The main obstacle for independently perceiving biaxial stimuli lies in the Poisson’s effect of sensing materials. Researchers
Upon first glance, Arctic Eggs may seem like just another cooking simulation game. However, a closer look reveals a bizarre and mesmerizing journey set in a seemingly dystopian Antarctica where eggs are outlawed. As a Poultry Peddler trapped in this frozen wasteland, your only means of escape is by cooking breakfast for your companions. The

Google Meet, one of the leading video conferencing platforms, is now offering users the ability to touch up their appearance before meetings with the introduction of portrait touch-up filters. This feature was initially launched on mobile devices last year and has now been extended to Google Meet’s web app. Users can choose from two different
A recent study published in the Journal of Remote Sensing has revolutionized the field of solar radiation estimation. Researchers have successfully utilized data augmentation in conjunction with the LightGBM machine learning model to accurately predict both diffuse and direct solar radiation. This breakthrough approach has enabled researchers to overcome the limitations of sparse and unevenly
The Apple Vision Pro has introduced the concept of Personas, which are digital avatars created through image captures and 3D measurements. While they claim to be a “natural representation” of the user, the reality is that these Personas can be quite cursed in appearance. Creating a Persona on the Apple Vision Pro involves following a
LED technology has come a long way since its inception in the late 19th century with Thomas Edison’s invention of the incandescent lamp. Fast forward to 1969, the first red light emitting diodes (LEDs) lamp made its debut. However, the breakthrough in creating white light bulbs using high-energy blue light remained a challenge until 1998
