Reversing the Lies of the Sharing Economy

https://howwegettonext.com/reversing-the-lies-of-the-sharing-economy-a85501d14be8 We do not use the term “sharing” to refer to an interaction like this: “I’ll give you some food if you pay me.” We call that buying. We don’t use it in this situation either: “I’ll let you temporarily use my toy if you pay me.” We call that renting.  In light of this,

OWASP Proposes New Vulnerabilities for 2017 Top 10

Move Over Spintronics, Here Comes Magnonics to the Rescue of Electronics – IEEE Spectrum

http://spectrum.ieee.org/nanoclast/semiconductors/devices/move-over-spintronics-here-comes-magnonics-to-the-rescue-of-electronics  European collaborative research center called Spin+X has offered a prototype of a device that leverages something called spin waves that may offer a way forward. Spin waves are the synchronous waves of electron spin alignment observed in a magnetic system. If the prototype is any indication, then researcher may have another avenue to explore when traditional electronics reaches

Star Trek’s Tricorder Now Officially Exists Thanks To A Global Competition | IFLScience

http://www.iflscience.com/technology/star-treks-tricorder-now-officially-exists-thanks-to-a-global-competition/all/ Star Trek’s all-purpose medical device, the Tricorder, has also inspired a fair few people to recreate its near-magical ability to instantly diagnose a patient. As it happens, the non-profit X-Prize Foundation were so keen to get one invented that they started a global competition to see if any mavericks would succeed. Rather remarkably, one team has emerged victorious

3 open source web design templates | Opensource.com

https://opensource.com/article/17/4/boilerplate-web-design-templates?sc_cid=7016000000127ECAAY Today, few people design their web pages from scratch. Most opt to use a pre-built template design, custom fit for their content management system of choice. Even developers building complex web applications came to rely on templating libraries to put together the majority of their application. But what if you want to build a

Power Integrations highlights importance of power factor correction at APEC 2017 | EDN

Power-factor correction allows the input current to continuously flow, reduces the peak input current, and reduces the energy loss in the power supply, thus improving its operation
