• Lufthansa’s posh plane can’t match the halcyon days of luxury aviation

  01-12-2021 18:28
  
  Lufthansa Technik recently shared a teaser for their latest luxury plane cabin. It’s called the EXPLORER and is the brainchild of the VIP and Special Mission division. This division makes luxury cabins for jet planes, including Boeing 737, Airbus A320 family aircraft, A350s, and 747s.  But what’s on offer, and how does it compare to the halcyon glamour days of flying before you had to take your shoes off at the airport? I’ve had a look, and I have to say, I think earlier

• How Formula E’s Gen3 achieves twice the efficiency of an ICE race car

  01-12-2021 15:42
  
  The Formula E Championship debuted in 2014 and has since then proved that electric vehicles can send shivers down our spine in suspenseful races — just like their Earth-kill forebears. Formula E started the tranformation of car racing with the Gen1 vehicle, which later evolved into the more powerful and fast Gen2. Now we get a glimpse of the Gen3 race car that — speaking of evolution — has turned into a majestic butterfly. According to its F3 creators, it’s supposed to b

• How on Earth is Elon Musk’s SpaceX facing bankruptcy?

  01-12-2021 13:59
  
  The richest person in the world is worried about money. Elon Musk, whose net worth is estimated at $310 billion, says his space company faces the threat of going bust. In an email to SpaceX staff that was first obtained by Space Explored, Musk said the firm could go under due to issues producing Raptor rocket engines. The Raptor engines power SpaceX’s Starship rockets, which the company hopes to take people to the moon and Mars. Musk told staff that a “Raptor production crisis&rdquo

• What will happen when Elon Musk’s Gigafactory faces the wurst?

  01-12-2021 10:47
  
  News here in Germany is that Elon Musk’s Gigafactory in Brandenburg is about to start production.  As an Ausländer myself who has lived in East Germany (Berlin and Leipzig) for almost a decade, I know that Germany has some cultural quirks. So I wanted to offer Elon some tips from the land of wurst, beer, and the German way. I got assistance from a former factory floor worker from Tesla’s Fremont Factory speaking off the record — I’ll call him Tesla man to conce

• Wait, so now I can’t tweet photos of other people on Twitter?

  01-12-2021 09:13
  
  It’s just been a day since Parag Agarwal took over Twitter as CEO after Jack Dorsey resigned, and the company has rolled out a seemingly controversial policy. Under this new norm, you can’t tweet out pictures of another individual. Twitter already had a private information policy that barred users from sharing other people’s phone numbers, addresses, and email IDs. Now it’s extending that to media, including videos and photos of someone.  How can an image or a

• How to achieve sustainable hyper growth: Learn, unlearn, and re-learn

  01-12-2021 08:00
  
  Building a startup is like launching a brand new rocket ship… every day of the week. How? Let me explain. Rocket boosters, which provide additional thrust to enable a rocket ship to escape the gravitational pull of Earth, are removed within two minutes of flight in order for the rocket to continue the ascent. I see this similar to the early days of your operation, which are all about putting in maximum effort to attain momentum and lift off. However, it’s extremely critical to real

• I wish these translucent AirPods weren’t just prototypes

  01-12-2021 03:53
  
  There’s an alternate universe out there where Apple (still) makes translucent gadgets, and I want to live in it. Giulio Zompetti, a developer who also happens to collect rare Apple devices, recently got his hands on what are reportedly partially-transparent Apple prototypes. Behold, the translucent AirPods: #AirPods, translucent prototype earbuds pic.twitter.com/zE4dt47H0J — Giulio Zompetti (@1nsane_dev) November 30, 2021 Oooh, ahhh. Of course, if you want transparent headphones tha

  01-12-2021 02:08
  
  Riding an ebike can be a game-changer, making distant parts of your city feel more accessible and removing much of the doldrum of a daily commute or routine errands. Since making the switch, I’ve tested several accessories to improve the riding experience, livability, and practicality of these bikes – many upgrades which I now can’t imagine living without. I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite accessories below. They’re products you can surprise someone who v

• Google’s teaching AI to ‘see’ and ‘hear’ at the same time — here’s why that matters

  01-12-2021 00:12
  
  A team of scientists from Google Research, the Alan Turing Institute, and Cambridge University recently unveiled a new state of the art (SOTA) multimodal transformer for AI. In other words, they’re teaching AI how to ‘hear’ and ‘see’ at the same time. Up front: You’ve probably heard about transformer AI systems such as GPT-3. At their core, they process and categorize data from a specific kind of media stream. Under the current SOTA paradigm, if you wanted to

• Qualcomm’s betting on AI to take on Apple and Google’s chips

  01-12-2021 00:00
  
  Apple has been in a league of its own when it comes to developing processors for phones and embedding its own AI-powered experience. But this year, Google has thrown its hat in the ring by debuting its indigenous Tensor Chip to give the Pixel 6 a platform to showcase the company’s vision for smartphones. This massive push by tech giants into the chip game means that Qualcomm, once a leading player in the smartphone industry, will face more competition than ever. So, this year, the chipmak
