YouTube’s airing of the U.S. presidential debates via news

given the growing number of cord cutters, the international attention
the debates have garnered, and...

Zwift merges indoor fitness with massive multi-player online gaming
At its core, Zwift is indoor cycling software. But layered on top of
its functionality is a community that in the two years the company has
been operating has grown in both scale and shear strength. At an event
at Rapha’s cycling in SF, I found myself surrounded by core users

This smart sock adds sensations to prosthetic limbs
The future of prosthetics is fast arriving, with 3D-printed
construction, advanced materials and embedded sensors replacing the
unadorned wood and plastic of yore. But like the rest of the future,
it’s not equally distributed. In order to bridge the gap for users who
can’t afford or get at these fa...
Your experience is probably worth a lot less than you think
Do you work in software? Do you have more than a decade of experience?
You do? I’m sorry to hear that. That means there’s a strong possibility
that much of what you know is already obsolete. Worse yet, there’s a
good chance that you’re set in anachronistic ways, hidebound with habits
which are now ...

sign-on and cloud storage was disrupted due to the massive distributed
denial of service (DDoS) attack against domain host Dyn. This attack was

The banana republic of big data
There’s a reason Americans feel dispossessed by their government. We
citizens have fewer and fewer opportunities for substantive interaction
with our leaders. Corporate-funded organizations and narrow interest
advocacy campaigns stand in as proxies for citizens as the distance
grows between leaders...
AT&T’s new streaming service, DirecTV Now, just got a lot more interesting
AT&T’s soon-to-launch live streaming service, DirecTV Now, just
got a lot more interesting following AT&T’s acquisition of Time
Warner. Announced earlier this year, DirectTV Now was already an
anticipated new arrival on the cord-cutting scene, thanks to its plans
to stream more than 100 liv...
Cuban: AT&T-Time Warner will create more competition
While many people are arguing that the proposed $85 billion AT&T
and Time Warner deal would be bad for consumer choice, billionaire Mark
Cuban has a contrarian viewpoint. The merger would lead to “more
competition” he tells TechCrunch. Cuban, who made his money through a

WTF is machine learning?
It’s no coincidence that Alan Turing, one of the most
influential computer scientists of all time, started his
1950 treatise on computing with the question “Can machines think?” From
our science fiction to our research labs, we have long questioned
whether the creation of artificial versions of our...
