• The rate of the universe’s expansion is in dispute — but a new measurement offers hope

  23-11-2019 18:00
  
  Advances in astronomical observation over the past century have allowed scientists to construct a remarkably successful model of how the cosmos works. It makes sense – the better we can measure something, the more we learn. But when it comes to the question of how fast our universe is expanding, some new cosmological measurements are making us ever more confused.

• In defense of Kodak and its ‘failure’ to innovate

  23-11-2019 18:00
  
  Kodak has been the ultimate bogeyman of MBA programs. You’ve heard the story. The company held an unassailable position in one the world’s largest markets. It had a deep, lasting brand with consumers and professionals along with a high-margin recurring revenue stream. But it failed to fully understand the impact of emerging technologies. It couldn’t get its 100+ year-old self to pivot in time. It didn’t cross the chasm and cannonballed deep into the abyss. You could buil

• Why you need to teach your kids about data privacy

  23-11-2019 10:00
  
  Google recently agreed to pay a US$170 million fine for illegally gathering children’s personal data on YouTube without parental consent, which is a violation under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

While these are not official photos of the devices that have been leaked, OnLeaks’ renders (created in partnership with 91mobiles) have tended to resemble the final product in the past. The most notable change is on the rear, where we see a large, rectangular camera module with five se

• Everything the Cybertruck looks like, according to the internet

  23-11-2019 00:15
  
  Elon Musk revealed the Cybertruck, Tesla’s handsome new machine, in all its angular glory. It’s a very cool car, but that doesn’t mean the internet isn’t going to poke fun at how utterly weird it looks. If you can count on Twitter and Reddit for nothing else, you can count on it for that. Naturally, we took our own potshots here at TNW when we saw this thing. My colleague Callum Booth coined the lovely phrase “fascist Toblerone” to describe the shap
