• Why are people with nothing to hide so scared of Clearview AI’s facial recognition?

  04-11-2021 21:38 via thenextweb.com
  
  The Australian government gave Clearview AI the boot earlier this week after determining the company had no right to scrape and maintain its citizens’ data. If you or anyone else has ever uploaded a picture with your face in it to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or just about any website, there’s a very good chance you’re in Clearview AI‘s database. What does that mean? Clearview AI employees, millions of law enforcement agents, and anyone with access to the company’

• Google bends the knee to South Korea, allows third-party in-app payments

  04-11-2021 16:39 via thenextweb.com
  
  Naturally, our beloved tech giants Google and Apple want you to exclusively use their own billing systems for in-app purchases on mobiles and tablets. For that reason, they have been facing global scrutiny for forcing developers to user their payment systems and charging them with an up to 30% commission. Governments around the world have been seeking to curb their control, but to no avail. Until now. South Korea’s “anti-Google” law has… worked! Perhaps you remember tha

• Consumers see through ‘woke washing’ — but real change is possible for brands

  04-11-2021 16:32 via thenextweb.com
  
  With brands increasingly engaging in social change campaigns and leveraging their influence to be “purpose-led”, the time has come to ask a couple of big questions: is this a viable strategy, and how skeptical should we be of so-called “brand activism”? In recent weeks alone, Ben & Jerry’s has launched a new ice-cream flavor called “Change is Brewing” to support Black-owned businesses and raise awareness of the People’s Response Act, proposed

• Who the fuck is the $6,099 M1 Max MacBook Pro for? Twitter knows

  04-11-2021 16:08 via thenextweb.com
  
  As more people are getting their hands on the incredible M1 Max MacBook Pro, a question is arising: why? The machine is eye-wateringly expensive and people on Twitter (where else?) are up in arms about it. 6000 dollars … What a fkin joke. Who needs 8tb ssd man and M1 max is good and all but this is just robbery. https://t.co/3UYSuMgIJZ — Baby (@DanAtreides01) October 19, 2021 Honestly? It’s a reasonable concern. The most tricked-out version of the 16-inch M1 Max MacBook

• Where the good goddamn are the bikes at COP26?

  04-11-2021 16:04 via thenextweb.com
  
  Among all the posturing and grandstanding about climate change, you’ll see something that’s noticeably absent at COP26 in Glasgow this week — cycling.  I saw a tweet this morning (I love Twitter), and it asked an excellent question:  Why is no one talking about #bicycles at #COP26? 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲@cathmckenna — Dave Robertson (@DaveBikeSki) November 4, 2021 Seriously, where are all the bikes and ebikes? How about some cargo bikes &

• Hide the pain, Harold — study shows memes help ease pandemic stress

  04-11-2021 13:54 via thenextweb.com
  
  Zoom meeting after Zoom meeting, while trying to feed, entertain and beg-to-sleep an infant whose day care had closed, I needed a break but couldn’t really take one in April of 2020. Enter memes. Between work, moving the laundry and taking care of my own dogs, I could sneak a peak at Instagram and chuckle at images of very excited pups, psyched that their humans were now home all day, every day. I study media processes and effects, which is the psychology of how media messages can affect

  04-11-2021 13:41 via thenextweb.com
  
  With COP26 in full swing, Democrats in the US House of Representatives are slowly working on doing their part to fight climate change. Their focus? The heart and soul of America: the big-ass car. This week they announced further amendments to the current Build Back Better Act before the House which offers some big wins for social spending and sustainable transport. The bill before the house is all part of a $3.5 trillion budget dedicated to social and environmental benefits.

  “I know other languages, I don’t need to learn Rust” – sound familiar? If you haven’t started learning about Rust yet, you may want to change your tune. According to a recent study by technology training company, O’Reilly, developers who code in Rust receive the highest average salary compared to other programming languages. Rust has been steadily growing in popularity for the last number of years. In fact, according to this year’s StackOverflow develop

• Career growth is about more than titles

  04-11-2021 10:39 via thenextweb.com
  
  LinkedIn updates are an abyss, but I can’t stop scrolling. Recently, I saw a bunch of former coworkers moving on to new roles, new jobs, and new companies. People I had once worked with are now VPs or senior directors. I love seeing old friends take risks with new opportunities — it’s inspiring to see their growth. But I’ll admit it: this prompted a bit of a reflective moment on my own growth. My job title has been Team Lead since 2015. I had to ask myself, why haven&rsq

• Review: Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite (2021) is even better than the Oasis

  04-11-2021 06:25 via thenextweb.com
  
  The 2021 Kindle Paperwhite is simply the best ereader for the majority of people who actually want an ereader. It improves on its predecessors in the places it matters most, and starting at $140, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better combination of features and quality. Perhaps more importantly, it might be the first Kindle Paperwhite really worth upgrading to in years — and I’d argue it’s a better choice than the fancier Oasis too. The screen is bigger The new Kindle P
