Data Not Technology Is The Key To Innovation In Sports

One particular panel that was filled with the likes of experts from New Balance, San Francisco 49ers, and even the U.S. Olympic Committee dug in even further by explaining how athletes were evolving due to innovation. For most consumers, we’d typically assume it was the technology that helps our athletes get the competitive edge; however, in a unanimous decision, the panel stated it was really the data that fuels it....

Dc Based Personal Launches Fill It For Quick And Safe Auto Filling On Online Forms

Literally millions of forms are filled every day by people from all over the world – that’s millions of people, every day, having to go through the drudgery of mindlessly filling in all these blank spaces. At some point, though, we’ll all cross the threshold of sanity, and our souls will begin to imprint themselves on all the empty space that will never be filled (because, you know, by then we’ll be brain-dead)....

Define Yourself By Your Courage Not Your Accomplishments

It’s something we all feel, at one time or another. Seattle UX designer Dylan Wilbanks only confirmed that with his recent post on Medium, “You are better than you think.” Both of them found solace in looking back at their careers and everything they’ve accomplished. But that technique doesn’t always work. You can always accomplish more; you can always find someone with a better resumé or better coding skills. If accomplishment is the key, you have to keep chasing after the next thing, and the next thing, and the next thing....

Did Apple Mortally Wound These 13 Startups At Wwdc

Did Spotify Apple Facebook Youtube Have The Right To Ban Alex Jones

Facebook and Spotify swiftly followed suit, with the social network removing four pages associated with Alex Jones and Infowars: the Alex Jones Channel Page, the Alex Jones Page, the Infowars Nightly News Page and the Infowars Page. Spotify removed all episodes of the Alex Jones Show after removing some episodes last week. Again, both companies stated that the shows had violated their hate speech guidelines, among other infringements. Reaction from the alt-right and conspiracy theorists who make up a large part of Jones’ audience has – perhaps unsurprisingly – been vicious and unyielding....

Facebook Is Out Of Ideas And Floundering

New data exporting tools should make it easier for users who want to leave Facebook and keep hold of all the memories they’ve posted to the site, while new audio-only tools that ape other platforms show that social media innovation is, well and truly, dead. Will Facebook’s “throw it at a wall and see what sticks” approach to product development ever bear fruit? Facebook Introduces New Audio Tools Free markets are supposed to breed innovation but, yet again, another social media giant has decided that the way to inspire a flagging user base is by copying Clubhouse....

Flipgrid Refocuses On Education Launches Free Version

Though initially launched with a focus on education, Flipgrid attempted to expand their scope and adapt the platform for everyone to use. Having found some success and a sizable funding round, the team was split between two offerings, which also hampered growth.

Google S Artificial Intelligence Speaks And She S A Woman

What you maybe didn’t know is that he’s incredibly wary of artificial intelligence (AI). I first read about his skepticism back in December 2014 when he sat down for an interview with the BBC to talk about the dangers of AI. Let’s just say that he didn’t sugar coat his views. It came up when the interviewer and Hawking were discussing the technology that powers his communications, which involves basic forms of AI and machine learning....

Google Will Shut Down Hangouts To Further Consolidate Platform

With a storied history of far too many apps, Google appears to be taking the hint and consolidating its communication platform in hopes of driving more usage from everyday users. Competing with the likes of iMessage isn’t easy, but let’s be honest, Google should be better positioned to make users happy with a more comprehensive communication tool. Now, Google is taking a step in the right direction by knocking off another of its many apps in hopes of making messaging and video calls a bit easier for everyone....
