On November 21, Genesis said it had “no plans to file for bankruptcy imminently,” but it has since appointed an external party to advise on its financial predicament. Such moves have done little to calm twitchy customers. Halting withdrawals has been the precursor to multiple previous crypto collapses this year, including at FTX and Celsius. Genesis did not respond when asked to confirm whether bankruptcy was under consideration. If Genesis were to fold, it would deliver another gut-punch to an industry already reeling from the fall of FTX, one of its most highly regarded companies....

A recent study by healthtech seed fund Rock Health and Johns Hopkins University demonstrated the extent of the problem. The researchers reviewed the associated clinical trials, regulatory claims filings, and listed outcomes by 224 healthcare companies. Surprisingly, only 20 percent achieved the threshold considered acceptable for rigorously tested solutions. This situation, of course, represents a barrier in the uptake of new innovations in health care. In 2023, we will see heightened scrutiny for the evidence required of digital health technologies and how that evidence is generated....

A 2013 report compiled by Distimo showed that only 3 percent of the top 250 app publishers in the United States were newcomers. The revenue these new developers took represented an even smaller part of what the Play Store generated — just 1.2 percent. Evidently, app discovery is a big challenge. Fortunately, reaching the Google Play Store end-users isn’t an unattainable goal. With the right marketing strategy, your app can get the much-needed attention of the masses....

“Some TVs are just so overprocessed, and they’re over-brightened, and their colors are oversaturated,” says Jim Willcox, a senior electronics editor who tests TVs for Consumer Reports. “It’s fatiguing watching a TV like that. And it’s also not giving you a picture that’s really natural-looking.” Those harsh colors and unnatural lighting effects can be toned down of course, but the settings options in modern televisions tend to be obtuse, and most viewers never take the time to navigate their set’s labyrinthian menus and dial in the proper picture....

New data analysis reveals that multiple major Russian cities appear to have faced widespread GPS disruption during the past week. The signal interference follows Ukraine launching long-range drone attacks deep into Russian territory, and it may act as a way to potentially stop drones that rely upon GPS for navigation, experts say. The GPS interference has “expanded on a scale that hasn’t been seen before,” says Erik Kannike, a program manager at Estonian defense intelligence firm SensusQ who has been monitoring the situation....

It stages the scene in a practically infinite number of ways, but in the most familiar versions, light kick-starts a physical process that begins when a photon hits an atom or molecule. In photosynthesis, photons from the sun strike chlorophyll molecules in a plant to knock electrons loose, setting off the chemical conversion of carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. When you get a sunburn, photons of ultraviolet light strike and damage DNA molecules in your skin....

Before we begin to understand how to take minutes of a virtual meeting without missing out on important details, it is important to know exactly what are meeting minutes and how they are different from meeting notes. Meeting notes are the informal version of meeting minutes. They are written quickly in a short format to record ideas, important dates, decisions, etc. They can later be converted into formal meeting minutes....

Lauded Japanese manufacturer Hario, which makes a variety of inexpensive gadgets to brew and serve pour-over coffee, helped me see that my ambivalence was just a big misunderstanding. For the uninitiated, pour-over is a bit like a handmade version of drip coffee. You typically use a gooseneck kettle to pour a thin stream of hot water over a basket or cone filled with grounds, often breaking the flow into a series of precise pours and pauses over the course of several minutes....

The aviation world moves more slowly. Airport space is difficult to come by; cargo jets are enormously expensive to convert and operate. (“You know how you become a millionaire in the air business?” quips one aviation veteran. “You start with a billion dollars.”) Running an air cargo service requires compliance with government regulations covering security, labor relations, and most important of all, safety, designed to prevent accidents and loss of life....

The current enfant terrible of IT – the IoT – is certainly one of them. When you think about it, the middle-aged office workers of today have come from an era of faxes and phones to a sci-fi reality of cloud computing, machine learning, and a globe connected by AI on 5G. A huge leap for a single lifetime, no matter how blasé younger workplace entrants might be about tech’s abilities in 2020....

Like clockwork, Samsung has unveiled its next set of flagship smartphones: the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. You won’t find any gimmicks here, but to call these phones iterative would be an overstatement. These new Android phones—at a surface level—seem to have barely evolved beyond their predecessors. The Galaxy S23 series isn’t the lone hardware announcement from the company. At its big media event today in San Francisco—the first in-person Galaxy Unpacked since the pandemic—Samsung also unveiled a whopping five new laptops, all of which are badged with the new Galaxy Book3 name....

Still, that revolution has its own dirty side. If the goal is to electrify everything we have now, ASAP—including millions of new trucks and SUVs with ranges similar to gas-powered models—there will be a massive increase in demand for minerals used in batteries like lithium, nickel, and cobalt. That means a lot more holes in the ground—nearly 400 new mines by 2035, according to one estimate from Benchmark Minerals—and a lot more pollution and ecological destruction along with them....

The likely culprit is in fact sneakier and more ominous than the scenario of scientists missing a massive pipeline leak somewhere. Writing today in the journal Nature, an international team of researchers found that humanity’s methane emissions did indeed fall in 2020, but nature’s didn’t: Wetlands belched up significantly more of the gas compared to 2019. In fact, it was the highest methane growth rate since atmospheric measurements began in the early 1980s....

The discussion, like most discussions on Black Twitter, contained the insular charm of a group chat. It was loose and humorous but so intentionally specific that an outsider might have trouble keeping pace. It was also emblematic of what has made Black Twitter an unparalleled force throughout its 13 years: the ability to seamlessly remix Black customs, ways of speech, and issues onto our shared digital terrain in a manner that feels somehow familiar but new....
