Section 230 faces bipartisan repeal effort. Experts say it’s a risky bet

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act—the provision that protects tech platforms from legal liability for content posted by their users—has long been a point of contention among lawmakers. Since its passage in 1996, it has fueled frustration across the political spectrum, with critics arguing that it enables Big Tech to dodge accountability. Now, nearly three decades later, a bipartisan group of senators is making a renewed push to dismantle it, with Senators Lindsey Graham and Dick

Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen on what business leaders need to know about Trump’s tariffs

Trump’s tariff war is causing vast disruption across international trade. Ryan Petersen, founder and CEO of worldwide logistics and shipping platform Flexport, shares a behind-the-scenes look into how global commerce truly functions right now.

How ‘The Matrix’ helped build—and break—beleaguered production company Village Roadhouse

The name Village Roadshow might not ring a bell with every moviegoer, but "> the company’s logo almost certainly will. Its shimmering, nested “V” of metallic ribbons that taper inward like a cinematic illusion played before dozens of movies that collectively spawned 34 No. 1 opening weekends, 19 Academy Awards, and $19 billion in worldwide box office gross.

Would you pay $4,000 to solve your streaming movie problems?

Let’s say you were spending tens of thousands of dollars to build yourself a fancy home theater. How would you go about actually watching movies in it?

While you could always set up a Roku or Apple TV box to stream on, they’re not going to feel all that theatrical. Most streaming devices are too bogged down with banner ads and obnoxious upsells, and the streaming services themselves compromise on audiovisual quality for the sake of smoother streaming. Maybe what you act

Jaderná fúze: úskalí soukromých konceptů

V loňském roce bylo evidováno 45 soukromých firem podnikajících ve výzkumu jaderné fúze. Tyto firmy jsou obvykle financovány rizikovým kapitálem ze soukromých zdrojů a celkové investice již překročily 7 miliard USD. Některé ze soukromých konceptů fúzních reaktorů ale budí pochybnosti. http://www.osel.cz/13965-jaderna-fuze-uskali-soukromych-konceptu.html

Teoretici kvantové gravitace: Vesmír miluje spirály

Ahmed Farag Ali s Anetou Wojnarovou navazují na představu, že entropie není abstraktní mírou neuspořádanosti, ale vlastně kvantita ukotvená v časoprostoru. Navrhují, že má toroidální strukturu, což by otřáslo Heisenbergovým principem neurčitosti a řešilo tragikomickou Vakuovou katastrofu, tedy bizarní rozpor mezi předpovězenou a pozorovanou energií vakua. http://www.osel.cz/13964-teoretici-kvantove-gravitace-vesmir-miluje-spiraly.html

These tech companies are building healthier social media habits for kids

This wellness app is like TikTok for your feelings

Průlom na obzoru? Nové výsledky DESI ukazují na vývoj temné energie v čase

Nad standardním kosmologickým modelem se stahují mračna. Model, jemuž se láskyplně říká Lambda CDM, má problémy s lambda, tedy s kosmologickou konstantou, co asi není tak konstantní, jak se zdálo. Potvrzuje to nová analýza založená na datech ze tří let pozorování experimentu DESI. http://www.osel.cz/13963-prulom-na-obzoru-nove-vysledky-desi-ukazuji-na-vyvoj-temne-energie-v-case.html

Suffering from loneliness? These businesses may have a cure

Loneliness isn’t just a lingering by-product of COVID lockdowns—it’s a public health crisis. The impacts of social isolation are said to be as detrimental to human health as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, according to former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. Loneliness can increase the risk of heart disease and strokes by roughly 30%, and dementia by abo

Yes, Apple is delaying some AI features. But does it really matter?

Earlier this month, Apple officially announced that it would be postponing the launch of some planned Apple Intelligence features to a later, unspecified date in the future. These features mainly revolved around an AI-supercharged Siri.

The news of the delay sent the tech press into a frenzy, with many writers criticizing the company for failing to deliver on its promises. Additionally, people speculated that the delay of these features could impact iPhone sales this year. While th

In this horror game, the monster can see you through your webcam

If the thought of being hunted by something that can see your every move makes your skin crawl, you might want to steer clear of Eyes Never Wake.

This viral horror game takes immersion to the next level, using your webcam to let a lurking monster track your movements in real time. To survive, players must physically move to avoid detection—ducking under desks, leaning out of sight, and staying perfectly still as the creature stalks the room.

5 critical trends to watch in DevOps

Software increasingly makes the world go round. Without this critical digital infrastructure, the economy—and society at large—wouldn’t function.

But as recent events like last year’s CrowdStrike outage have shown, enormous leaps in software power and complexity, including the integration of AI into the development process, ratchet up the potential for things to go sideways, fast.

How can software teams better harness the supercharged new tools at their disposal? Here’s a

Tesla Cybertrucks are getting roasted on TikTok—one prank at a time

Under cover of night, a group of TikTokers known as the Cybertruck Hunters roam the streets, hunting Tesla Cybertrucks in the wild.

Do school phone bans actually work? A new study says not really

To ban or not to ban cellphones in school, that is the perennial question facing parents and educators across the country.

The rise of the AI manager

There’s a growing fear that artificial intelligence will soon replace human talent. While it’s undeniable that AI will impact the labor market, as with any disruptive technology, a closer look reveals a different—and far more empowering—future. 

Rather than displacing highly skilled professionals, AI is setting the stage for knowledge workers to transition from individual contributors into high-leverage managers, directing teams of AI agents that can execute tasks with breathtaking
