| Arizona State University released a free sci-fi anthology about the future of solar power Posted: 17 Mar 2019 01:12 PM PDT  Over the last couple of years, organizations and companies have begun to look at science fiction in ways that go beyond mere entertainment, with writers and thinkers pointing out that genre stories can be used as a practical tool to imagine optimistic futures. One such organization is Arizona State University, which recently released an anthology that imagined the future of solar power. The Weight of Light: A Collection of Solar Futures is about "exploring human futures powered by solar energy," and is part of a broader publishing program from the University's Center for Science and the Imagination, which has released similar anthologies about optimistic futures in space and climate change since 2011. The Weight of Light is free to... |
| The Internet Archive is working to preserve public Google+ posts before it shuts down Posted: 17 Mar 2019 10:49 AM PDT  Google is set to begin deleting data from its beleaguered social network, Google+ in April, but before that happens, the Internet Archive and the ArchiveTeam say that they are working to preserve public posts on the platform before they vanish forever. In a post on Reddit, the sites announced that they had begun their efforts to archive the posts using scripts to capture and back up the data in an effort to preserve it. The teams say that their efforts will only encompass posts that are currently available to the public: they won't be able to back up posts that are marked private or deleted. They also urge people who don't want their content to be archived to delete their accounts, and pointed to a procedure to request the removal of... |
| The top ten 2020 Tokyo Olympics pictograms, ranked Posted: 17 Mar 2019 10:00 AM PDT  The official pictograms for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics were revealed this past week as Japan marked 500 days until the summer games. Designed by Masaaki Hiromura, the icons are based on the designs from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, where pictograms first made their debut. They've since been used on venue maps, buildings, and programs to promote the sports and help fans and attendees better understand the games without language barriers. There are 50 pictograms in all for 33 sports (some have more than others), and there are some new additions to welcome the most recently added sports like baseball, softball, karate, skateboarding, surfing, and speed climbing. "I hope that these pictograms will inspire everyone and help generate excitement for... |
| YouTube creators are using a hilarious tactic to combat copyright policies Posted: 17 Mar 2019 09:00 AM PDT  YouTube creators and Twitch streamers have been performing terrible a capella covers of popular songs in hilarious attempts to get around YouTube's widely criticized copyright strike system. In recent months, YouTube creators have run into copyright issues while making TikTok reaction videos, where they collect cringey TikTok clips and either react or provide commentary on them. But those TikTok videos contain music from artists signed to labels like Sony and Warner, and those labels will issue copyright claims, preventing creators from monetizing their videos. To work around that, creators like Danny Gonzalez and Kurtis Conner have started replacing the music with their own singing. Gonzalez and Conner half-heartedly sing songs like... |
| Golf Peaks turns mini-golf into a card-based puzzle game Posted: 17 Mar 2019 08:00 AM PDT  It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play, we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend. One thing about abstract puzzle games is that they often don't have themes. Games like Tetris, Delete, or sudokus aren't designed to look like anything in particular. Nothing about them can be compared to any real-world analog. However, games that use themes well use them to help players better understand what they are able to do. Resynth, for example, imitates the look and sounds of a music synthesizer to turn a game about solving pushing block puzzles into something where you can make music, and you understand how well... |
| WhatsApp co-founder urges users to delete their Facebook accounts — again Posted: 17 Mar 2019 07:22 AM PDT  WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton appeared as a speaker at a class at Stanford University earlier this week, where he spoke about the decision to sell the company to Facebook, and urged students to delete their Facebook accounts. According to Buzzfeed News, Acton spoke during an undergraduate course called Computer Science 181 alongside another former Facebook employee, Ellora Israni, founder of She++. During the class, Acton spoke about why he sold Whatsapp to Facebook in the first place, and why he left, and criticized the drive to prioritize monetization over user privacy. During his talk, he noted that major technology and social media companies like Apple and Google have struggled to moderate their content. "These companies are not... |

| Facebook says that it removed 1.5 million videos of the New Zealand mass shooting Posted: 17 Mar 2019 06:46 AM PDT  In the first 24 hours after the deadly mass shooting in New Zealand, Facebook says that it has removed 1.5 million videos that were uploaded of the attack, of which 1.2 million "at upload."

| Foldable phones are about to make the US very jealous Posted: 17 Mar 2019 06:00 AM PDT  The US is falling behind on phone design, and foldables are the proof. This year's Mobile World Congress was full of foldables, from Huawei's sleek Mate X to Xiaomi's triple-folding model to TCL's angular DragonHinge design to Oppo's prototype to the clunky Royale FlexPai to LG's sort-of-cheating V50 second screen. But all of those devices have one thing in common: like the last few waves of innovative phone designs released overseas, they won't be available in America in any meaningful way. Looking at the foldable landscape, there's basically only one device out there that will actually be sold in the US, from carriers, without requiring to deal with import fees or cellular compatibility: Samsung's Galaxy Fold. This isn't a new... |
