On Monday, officials from the Department of Commerce announced the first six recipients to receive grants through the Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) Distressed Area Recompete Pilot Program. Part of the
The Summer Olympics in Paris have brought medals to superstars like Simone Biles and new fan favorites like Korean shooter Kim Ye-ji, but one of the biggest winners may be NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock.

It’s been quite the run for Zillow Gone Wild, the meme-mad social media account that highlights amazing (and outlandish) homes for sale across the United States. Created by former BuzzFeed writer Samir Mezrahi in December 2020 as a pandemic-era hobby, Zillow Gone Wild has now parlayed internet virality into a reality series on HGTV.
But Zillow Gone Wild’s success story could come to a grinding halt, thanks to
Heads-up: One of Google’s most useful and also underappreciated features is on the brink of extinction.
I’m talkin’ about the cache-calling system that quietly existed within Google Search for years—typically buried within an inconspicuous menu inside your search results.
That system let you access a snapshot of any website from the recent past, which was an invaluable way to peek back at a site if it had just undergone some changes or even gone offline. After some sharp-
It was not exactly a fast break. When the NBA last week officially spurned Warner Bros. Discovery’s attempts to continue a 40-year partnership between the league and WBD subsidiary, TNT Sports, opting instead for a deal with Amazon Prime, it was the end of a long, slow,

If you’re excited to get your hands on Apple’s new generative AI platform, known as Apple Intelligence, I have some good news and some bad news for you.

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against TikTok and its parent company ByteDance on Friday, alleging that the social media company repeatedly violated a federal online privacy act.
The Justice Department, along with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), alleged that TikTok is in breach of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, also known as COPPA.
Despite all the technological innovation over the past 30 years, we are still asking the same data quality questions. Is my data accurate, complete, consistent? No wonder the issue isn’t going away: Without high quality data, enterprises can’t be data-driven. And if enterprises are not data-driven, there are greater instances of inefficiency, missed opportunities, and ultimately, financial loss. And no enterprise—regardless of size—can afford to operate like that.

Last month’s CrowdStrike incident was preventable. Even though the company claims to have testing protocols, it still managed to release buggy software in an automated update that caused tremendous damage and inconvenience to thousands of people. There are many factors that contributed to this mistake, and some of them have to do with people, assumptions, and misapplied startup culture.
The computerized systems that run most of the world we depend on (shipping, rail and air freight
