If people spent half as much time worrying about their own lives as they do other people via social media, or whatever, the world would be a much better and peaceful place.
Yeah, that too. I just focused on social because that's basically where we all live in the digital age. But yeah, vanity in general is exhausting, lol.
Authors pen open letter demanding big tech is 'held accountable' after Meta 'trains AI on pirated books'
A number of authors including Richard Osman, Val McDermid, Kate Mosse, Kazuo Ishiguro and Sarah Waters have signed an open letter from the Society of Authors demanding that Meta be held to account by the UK government following allegations in the US that authors’ works have been used without permission or remuneration to train its AI model.
"[Wrapper] just sort of means that it feels less thoughtful. It feels like you're giving this little package around what was built. As opposed to what it really means is, 'I'm going to understand the customer's problem,' " said Andreessen Horowitz partner Bryan Kim. "I'm going to marry this and deliver a solution to what you're trying to achieve."
Wrappers have even changed the way Silicon Valley builds, ushering in the era of vibe-coding. With an app like Cursor, one of the fastest-growing startups ever, anyone can develop an app without a degree or years of coding expertise.
"I love the phrase vibe-coding because, actually, I think it points to ... this new way that we're going to interact with these systems where we're not necessarily going to interrogate all of what they do in process," said E14 Fund Managing Partner Calvin Chin. "Over time as the models improve and these products built on top of them improve, we're going to get other kinds of vibe-activities in the economy. So maybe it's vibe-lawyering, vibe-accounting, and we're going to trust the models more and more."
China smartphone revival
An acceleration in Huawei's consumer business also aided its revenue figures. The consumer business raked in sales of 339 billion yuan, a 38.3% rise and a sharp acceleration from the growth seen last year.
Huawei, once the world's biggest smartphone player, saw its smartphone business in particular crushed by U.S. sanctions that restricted its access to key chips and Google software.
From the end of 2023, however, a semiconductor breakthrough in China allowed Huawei to regroup and release high-end phones that have sold very well domestically.
Margaret Hu, professor of law and director of the Digital Democracy Lab at William & Mary Law School, thinks Americans made the right move. "This development is a disaster for data privacy," said Hu. In her view, the 23andMe bankruptcy should serve as a warning as to why the federal government needs strong data protection laws.
In some states, Hu noted, the government is taking an active role in counseling consumers. The California Attorney General's Office is urging Californians to delete their data and have 23andMe destroy saliva samples. But Hu says that is not enough, and such guidance should be provided to all U.S. citizens.
The potential national security implications of 23andMe's data falling into the wrong hands are not new. In fact, the Pentagon had previously warned military personnel that these DNA kits could pose a risk to national security.
Hu is among the experts concerned these practices could change under 23andMe or any new buyer. "In a time of financial vulnerability, companies such as pharmaceutical companies might see an opportunity to exploit the research benefits of the genetic data," Hu said, adding that they might try to renegotiate prior contracts to extract more data from the company. "Will the next company that buys 23andMe do that?," Hu said of its privacy policies.
In recent days, 23andMe has said it will try to find a buyer who shares its privacy values.
Over the years since 23andMe's founding in 2006, many customers were willing to send in a swab to learn more about their family history. Lansing, Michigan resident Elaine Brockhaus, 70, and her family were excited to learn more about their lineage when they submitted samples of their DNA to 23andMe. But with the company now teetering in bankruptcy and privacy experts concerned about what happens to the millions of people with DNA samples stored, Brockhaus says the whole thing has "caused a bit of a ruckus in my family."
"We enjoyed some aspects of 23&Me," Brockhaus said. "They continually refined and updated our heritage as more people joined, and they were better able to pinpoint genetically related groups," Brockhaus said. She was able to learn more about health risk factors that were present or not present in her past.
"Cybercriminals can use it to target consumers with convincing scams and social engineering tactics, such as fraudulently claiming someone is a blood relative to another person or to send deceptive messages about their potential health risks," Clay said. "Organizations who go bankrupt should ensure the security and privacy of their customer's data is critical, and any sharing or selling of data to others should not be done," he added.
But other experts say the lesson of 23andMe is less about the company's collapse and the threat to privacy that created than serving as a reminder about the everyday cyber hazards related to personal information.
While DEI started as an umbrella acronym to even the playing field, it's become a loaded term.
In 2023, the Supreme Court ruled against Harvard University's affirmative action admission policies – a decision that had implications for how corporations hire. In one of his first acts of his second term, President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January to end the government's DEI programs and put federal officials overseeing those initiatives on leave.
The order directs "all departments and agencies to take strong action to end private sector DEI discrimination, including civil compliance investigations." The administration has targeted nearly 50 companies that it's deemed to be in violation of its anti-DEI rules, Bloomberg reported in February.
As part of that overhaul, Amazon's Candi Castleberry changed her vice president title from "VP of Global Diversity Equity and Inclusion" to "VP of Inclusive Experiences & Technology."
Tech's DEI rollback has accelerated in 2025.
Google, which has cloud-computing contracts with federal agencies, announced in February that it would retire its aspirational hiring targets following Trump's executive orders. Google's commitments for 2025 had included increasing the number of people from underrepresented groups in leadership by 30% and more than doubling the number of Black workers at non-senior levels.
The sensitivity of the term DEI came to the forefront earlier this month at Austin's annual South by Southwest conference. There, Google and Oracle had been slated to participate in a panel, originally titled "Successful Workplaces: Balancing Growth and Well-Being."
"Attendees will leave with actionable insights to align business success with a thriving workplace culture," an early description of the panel noted.
Oracle dropped out from the panel in February. That month, panel organizers informed participating companies that they were considering changing the focus of the conversation to the state of DEI in the workplace.
Google was not informed of the change until late February, the company spokesperson told CNBC, adding that the panel's new topic was outside of the employee's role and experience.
"We had a couple different panelists back out because this conversation, which is so important, has become kind of nuclear at this point, which is wild," said Diana Ransom, Inc. Magazine executive editor and the panel's moderator, at the event.
Gramajo said he doesn't begrudge any of the panelists or companies that pulled out of the panel.
"They are, as we all are, navigating an incredibly complex and uncertain time, where the rules are not clear," he said.
Around the world, plastics find their way into farm fields. Climate change makes agricultural plastic, already a necessity for many crops, even more unavoidable for some farmers. Meanwhile, research continues to show that itty-bitty microplastics alter ecosystems and end up in human bodies. Scientists, farmers and consumers all worry about how that's affecting human health, and many seek solutions. But industry experts say it’s difficult to know where plastic ends up or get rid of it completely, even with the best intentions of reuse and recycling programs.
According to a 2021 report on plastics in agriculture by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, soils are one of the main receptors of agricultural plastics. Some studies have estimated that soils are more polluted by microplastics than the oceans.
Farmers hardest hit by climate change are least able to reduce the presence of cheap plastic waste in soils. That frustrates Innocent Piloya, an agroecology entrepreneur who grows coffee in rural Uganda with her company Ribbo Coffee.
"It's like little farmers fighting plastic manufacturers,” she said.
U.S. law defines a machine gun as a weapon that automatically fires more than one shot with a single pull of a trigger. The definition also includes any parts designed to convert a weapon into a machine gun.
Federal law prohibits possessing machine guns made after 1986, with some exceptions for law enforcement, the military and certain licensed dealers. Nearly all conversion devices are illegal because they were made more recently.
People convicted of possessing machine guns and conversion devices can face up to 10 years in prison.
A Glock switch is one type of a machine gun conversion device. It's a metal or plastic piece, about the size of a coin, that attaches to the back of Glock pistol, a brand that is popular with both police and criminals. The switch interferes with a gun's internal trigger components so that it fires continuously when the trigger is pulled back and held.
Five states including Florida, Illinois, Texas, Montana and North Dakota accounted for nearly half that total.
Alabama is the latest state to outlaw Glock switches. A law signed this month by Republican Gov. Kay Ivey makes possessing parts designed to convert pistols into machine guns a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
The bipartisan push in Alabama came after police said they believed conversion devices had been used in fatal shootings, including one in September that killed four and injured 17 people outside a Birmingham lounge.
Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a law in February making possession of a weapon conversion device a felony punishable by up to three years in prison.
“That really puts the pressure where it belongs — on the manufactures that are making money off of guns that they know can be readily turned into machine guns,” said Nick Suplina, senior vice president for law and policy at Everytown for Gun Safety.
Several cities and states including Baltimore, Chicago, Minnesota and New Jersey have sued Glock for making pistols that can be converted by others to automatic weapons.
The National Rifle Association notes U.S. attorneys already can prosecute people for misusing gun conversion devices without the need for state laws.
Gun Owners of America, another gun-rights group, contends people should have a Second Amendment right to own machine guns. State laws against machine gun conversation devices are “duplicative” and “pure virtue signaling,” said Aidan Johnston, federal affairs director for Gun Owners of America.
Value within the artificial intelligence industry is slowly shifting, from the companies developing models to the apps building on top of them.
Early in the AI race, critics viewed apps like Perplexity, Replit, Sesame and Abridge as second-rate middlemen, slapping an interface on someone else's technology. They were disparagingly known as AI wrappers: companies with entire apps or businesses wrapped around existing models. Companies like OpenAI, Google, Meta and Anthropic developed their own models.
The arrival of ultra-efficient models and increasing model commoditization accelerated the shift.
"There was an impression that the only way to compete in AI would be to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to pre-train these web-scale models that could solve every problem underneath the sun, and that was the only game in town for AI," said Shiv Rao, founder and CEO of the healthcare AI startup Abridge. "Very quickly, people figured out that actually, value moves up the stack."
Megacaps like Microsoft poured billions into the first stage of the AI arms race, focusing on the infrastructure and model layer. But models are now increasingly looking commoditized, narrowing the advantage that any model-builder had. While they focused on delivering raw capability and intelligence, app companies looked at real-world uses and solutions.
Huawei has been trying to adapt its business to deal with U.S. sanctions that have restricted its access to key technologies like semiconductors.
Huawei reported revenue for 2024 of 862.1 billion Chinese yuan ($118.2 billion), a 22.4% year-on-year rise.
It is the company's second-highest revenue figure ever, according to CNBC calculations, just shy of the record 891.4 billion yuan reported for 2020.
Net profit fell, however, to 62.6 billion yuan, a decline of 28% versus 2023. Huawei said this was a result of increasing investments.
It comes as the Chinese technology giant tries to adapt its business to deal with U.S. sanctions that have restricted its access to key technologies like semiconductors.
"In 2024, the entire team at Huawei banded together to tackle a wide range of external challenges, while further improving product quality, operations quality, and operational efficiency," Huawei's rotating chairwoman Meng Wanzhou said in the company's annual report.
Huawei spent 179.7 billion yuan on research and development, equating to 20.8% of its revenue. That's higher than 2023's 164.7 billion R&D figure. Huawei has been diversifying its business in areas including data centers for AI, cloud computing and automotive technology.
"Over the next three years, despite an economic downturn, we will increase investment in strategic depth, particularly in building foundational technologies, and seek growth opportunities through differentiation," Meng said.
Genetic testing company 23andMe's bankruptcy has led to a new consumer privacy issue: what happens to the DNA of millions of Americans when it goes on sale?
DNA testing has become a valuable tool for hobbyists and novice genealogists. For some, learning they are the 10th cousin of Paul Revere or the 15th great nephew four times removed of the last King of Prussia is worth the perceived risk of sharing a DNA sample. But what happens when the company harvesting the DNA goes bankrupt?
That was the question posed to millions of Americans last week when 23andMe, the company that popularized consumer genetic testing and had early backing from Google, filed for bankruptcy, leading to a wave of calls for Americans to delete their DNA from the company's database.

Uma parceria entre um instituto de pesquisa chinês e uma empresa de tecnologia disse na segunda-feira que pretende implantar seu chip cerebral em 13 pessoas até o final deste ano, em um movimento que pode fazer com que ela ultrapasse a Neuralink de Elon Musk na coleta de dados de pacientes.
O Chinese Institute for Brain Research (CIBR) e a NeuCyber NeuroTech, sediados em Pequim, inseriram o Beinao No.1, um chip cerebral sem fio semi-invasivo, em três pacientes no mês passado e têm mais 10 pacientes programados para este ano, disse Luo Minmin, diretor do CIBR e cientista-chefe da NeuCyber.
"No próximo ano, depois de obtermos a aprovação regulatória, faremos testes clínicos formais que incluirão cerca de 50 pacientes", disse Luo aos repórteres, à margem do Fórum Zhongguancun, voltado para a tecnologia, em Pequim. Ele não entrou em detalhes sobre o financiamento ou a duração dos testes.
A aceleração dos testes em humanos pela CIBR e pela NeuCyber pode fazer do Beinao No.1 o chip cerebral com o maior número de pacientes do mundo, destacando a determinação da China em alcançar os principais desenvolvedores estrangeiros do setor.
A empresa norte-americana Synchron, cujos investidores incluem os bilionários Jeff Bezos e Bill Gates, é atualmente a líder global em termos de testes em humanos, com 10 pacientes, seis nos Estados Unidos e quatro na Austrália. A Neuralink, de Musk, tem atualmente três pessoas com seu implante.
I sent my girlfriend a 'Get Better' card. She's not sick, or anything - I just think she can get better.. Credit: reddit $LOLZ on behalf of thehivetuber
The 2000 Hive Power is because you will need the resource credits that amount gives you to be able to run the witness node. People forget, Hive Power is what runs the network, not second layer tokens.
What I read was a bit confusing though. It said, if I remember correctly, 2k HIVE Power, liquid Hive. Something like that.
Does that mean the Hive power should be my own and not delegated and nor from a delegator?
It is 2000 Liquid Hive locked in VSC. You should also have a minimum of 100HP on Hive for RCs. However, for the first few days the 2000 Hive requirement won't be enforced until most nodes have staked the minimum amount.
No, you need Hive Power, not liquid Hive. I am sure it can be delegated from another account, but it's better if you just buy the HP and stake it up yourself, because if not, you would have to use a leasing market and pay people for their delegation, which would probably just end up costing you more than it's worth to just buy your own Hive and stake it up. It's a good time to stack up, only .23 per Hive!
Tbh that confused me too. Seemed more logical the way you described it at first.
But maybe (this is a long shot) the liquid Hive that has to be locked up is the same as staking when it's on vsc.
Incorrect, it is liquid Hive that is bonded to your node to participate in consensus. This won't be enforced for the next few days, but it is recommended to accumulate 2000 Hive and lock it in VSC shortly after mainnet is launched.
Seems like a weird way to go about it, but okay, if that's what it is. So basically you are locking up 2000 HP that can only be used for that node, nothing else?
Ah, well that puts things in a different perspective for us. Not sure I want to lock up nearly $500 worth of Hive up just to run a second layer node on top of having to purchase a machine to run it. I was under the impression it was going to be Hive power that was powering it, not liquid Hive, because he have delegation to cover that.
So you need to transfer 2k liquid hive to your vsc node account and stake it on VSC (24hr unlock period). I.e. it is not to be staked on Hive but on VSC
In addition you will need to delegate 100 HP to your node running acco6nt
Wait, so 2000 liquid AND 100 HP staked? Def going to be a no from me. That sounds like some, you need 32 ETH to run a node crap, that will wind up centralizing the hell out of the nodes because I know I am not putting up nearly $500 in Hive
I see what you mean. I don't know if it's the case on the L1 too, but aren't there some kind of requirement to run a node?
To me all network that use nodes seem to be more or less towards the the centralized rather than decentralized. Perhaps it's just methough, but it seems to be the standard 🙄
No, with L1, all you need is the machine or VPS, set up and start witnessing. You will need Hive Power to support the resource credits needed, but it's not 2000HP.
And yes, most, if not all proof of stake chains are leaning more to the centralized direction, at least the majority power with a very few kind of thing. I have worked in various ecosystems over the years, and it's a problem in all of them.
If that's the way you had to build it, then it is what it is, but that seems like a pretty big barrier of entry, which isn't really that decentralized. Any return guarantees for my locked Hive? Or will I still have to pander for votes?
The barrier to entry is still far less than of others like Hive consensus. Rewards will be going live later this Summer on a proportional basis to your locked Hive. So if 2000 Hive gives you 5% of the total locked Hive, then you would get 5% of the total fee pool
DUO!Oh no! @caspermoeller89, you are out of Go acquire more Stake to increase your DUO standings. (We will not send this error message for 24 hours).Learn all about DUO here.
I've successfully been running a node for months, and I delegated 100 HP to it, which has been sufficient. The 100 HP required are for resource credits
2000 Hive bonded to your VSC node (required for participating in consensus)
Not entirely sure what this entails, but I will try to figure it out
2k Hive must be bonded to your node for participate in consensus. This won't be enforced for the next few days as the network gets started up, but it is recommended to obtain 2k Hive and bond it to your VSC node.

1/🧵 Surviving The Daily Grind: Bills & Frugal Habits
One thing that the cost of living will teach anyone who care to learn is, becoming frugal with how money is being spent. #outreach #threadstorm #hivelearners
The expenses will not end, bills will keep coming but not without the positive mindset of making sure to survive no matter what while hoping things might just get better someday with our country's economy or we become richer.
Most activity in the markets these days are ran by bots. Especially in the crypto space. I know I run a couple myself. Actually just built a nice one for the Hive/HBD internal exchange that works like a champ.
Another option is to use it for co-marketing until DHF step up their game. At this rate, we might be able to cover the costs on our own and onboard more #inleo friendly investors who will favour us in governance matters.
Huawei's sales last year were driven by its two biggest businesses — ICT infrastructure and consumer — which together account for around 82% of the company's total revenue.
Revenue at the ICT infrastructure division, which includes its carrier business, rose 4.9% year-on-year to 369.9 billion yuan. This is the Shenzhen headquartered-firm's biggest business by revenue. Huawei is one of the world's largest telecommunications equipment companies and the company said large-scale deployment of next-generation 5G networks had helped drive growth.
The company also said that 2024 was the first year of commercial deployment of next-generation networks, dubbed 5.5G or 5G advanced, which also helped give sales a boost.
In 2024, Huawei's smartphone shipments in China jumped 37% year-on-year, while its market share rose to 16% from 12% in 2023, according to data from Canalys. This came at the expense of Apple, which saw its market share decline and shipments fall.
Huawei has aggressively launched premium smartphones, including the first-ever trifold handset, and has also begun to slowly relaunch devices overseas.
Meanwhile, Huawei also released HarmonyOS 5 in 2024, the first version of its self-developed mobile operating system that reportedly no longer uses any open-source code from Google Android.
Still, analysts have told CNBC that Huawei's overseas prospects remain a challenge given its lack of access to Android, which runs on the majority of the world's smartphones, and continued restrictions in accessing the most cutting-edge chips, such as those found in Apple and Samsung devices.
New business focus
To mitigate some of the effects of U.S. sanctions over the past few years, Huawei has been pushing into new areas such as its digital power division, which includes a focus on energy infrastructure in areas such as electric cars and renewables.
This segment — still a very new business — saw revenue rise 24.4% to 68.7 billion yuan.
Cloud computing revenue came in at 38.5 billion yuan, up 8.5% year-on-year. Huawei said that when cloud sales to its own business units are taken into account, the total revenue for the division is 68.8 billion.
Huawei's smallest business, called Intelligent Automotive Solution, reported a 474.4% year-on-year rise in revenue to 26.4 billion yuan. Huawei develops in-car software as well as driver assistance systems for third-party automakers.
While it's not 100 percent clear if the "delete your DNA" calls were warranted, privacy experts are alarmed, and Americans who had taken the genetic test took the advice to heart.
According to data from online traffic analysis company Similarweb, on March 24, the day of the bankruptcy announcement, 23andMe received 1.5 million visits to its website, a 526% increase from one day prior. According to Similarweb, 376,000 visits were made to help pages specifically related to deleting data, and 30,000 were made to the customer care page for account closure. The next day, that figure rose to 1.7 million visits, and rraffic to the delete data help page about 480,000.
Exposing DNA collected from consumers is not a new issue for 23andMe, either. In 2023, almost 7 million people who took the genetic test were already exposed in a major 23andMe data breach. The company signed an agreement that involved a $30 million settlement and a promise of three years' worth of security monitoring.
But Hu says the bankruptcy does make the company, and its data, especially vulnerable now.
Drug research and genetic testing data
One of the things notable about the consumer mindset in the early years of the popularization of genetic testing was that a majority of users opted into sharing their DNA for research purposes, as much as 80% in the years when 23andMe was growing rapidly. Then, as the market for consumer sale of the popular DNA test kits reached saturation sooner than many expected, 23andMe focused more on research and development partnerships with drug companies as a way to diversify its revenue.
Currently, when 23andMe sells genetic data to other research companies, most is used at an aggregate level, as part of millions of data points being analyzed as a whole. The company also strips out identifying data from the genetic data, and no registration information (like a name or email) is included. Data researchers do need, such as date of birth, is stored separately from genetic data, and shared with randomly assigned IDs.
Now, her family has come full circle in the 23andMe experience: some members were initially reluctant to go along, and now, Brockhaus says, everyone has deleted their accounts.
A unique company collapse, but everyday cyber risks
But Brockhaus continues to view 23andMe within a larger consumer health market where the risks are not new, and health information is being shared in all sorts of environments where security issues could arise. "Anyone sending ColoGuard or receiving medical results through the mail is taking a risk of exposure," Brockhaus said. "Our very identities can be stolen with a few keystrokes. Of course, this does not mean that we should throw up our hands and agree to be victims, but unless we want to dig holes out back and live in them we have to be vigilant, proactive, but not panicked," she added.
Jon Clay, vice president of threat intelligence at cybersecurity firm Trend Micro, says consumers of 23andMe do need to view the bankruptcy as a threat. In any sale process, if the data is not transferred and guarded in the most secure manner possible, "it is at risk of being used by malicious actors for a number of nefarious purposes," he said.
Clay thinks 23andMe's data is incredibly valuable to cybercriminals — not just because it's permanent and personally identifiable, but also because it can be exploited for identity theft, blackmail, or even medical fraud.
"When people start talking about personal data, they forget where their data is already sitting," says Rob Lee, chief of research and head of faculty at SANS Institute, which specializes in helping businesses with information security and cyber issues. Whether it's sending a blood sample into a private lab or getting rid of a laptop to upgrade to a new one, "your digital footprints are being left out there for people to find," Lee said. "People don't understand the scope, so there is a larger discussion out there, specifically around where does data go?"
With DNA information, there are certain basic legal factors people should weigh before swabbing themselves and sending the sample in.
According to Lynn Sessions, an expert on healthcare privacy and digital assets and partner at the law firm BakerHostetler, the federal law that covers patient information privacy, HIPAA, does not apply to this situation, and 23andMe would not be considered a HIPAA-covered entity, or business associate of one. But there are state laws that apply to genetic information that would be in play, such as in California.
Meredith Schnur, a managing director and cybersecurity leader at insurance company Marsh, thinks the risk from 23andMe's bankruptcy for people who sent in their swabs is relatively low. "It doesn't cause any additional consternation or heartburn," Schnur said. "I just don't think it opens up any additional risk that doesn't already exist," she said, adding that many people's information is "already out there."
Last week, a 23andMe co-founder, Linda Avey, blasted the company's leadership. "Without continued consumer-focused product development, and without governance, 23andMe lost its way, and society missed a key opportunity in furthering the idea of personalized health," Avey wrote in a social media post. "There are many cautionary tales buried in the 23andMe story," Avey said.
The bankruptcy itself is the issue that is now hard for consumers to ignore, and until the sale process is completed, the questions will remain.
"When you're in bankruptcy, data privacy values are not what you're really thinking about. You're thinking about selling your company to the highest bidder," Hu said. That highest bidder, Hu says might take the genetic data and consumer profile data and link them together when selling it to others.
And that initial sale which includes the DNA of millions of people may only be the first of many transactions.
"It might sell it off, piece by piece, indiscriminately. And the buyer of that data might be a foreign adversary," Hu said. "That is why this is not just a data privacy disaster. It's also a national security disaster."
"It might sell it off, piece by piece, indiscriminately. And the buyer of that data might be a foreign adversary," Hu said. "That is why this is not just a data privacy disaster. It's also a national security disaster."
After Google scrapped its diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, hiring aspirations in February, CEO Sundar Pichai addressed the matter with his employees at a company all-hands meeting.
"We believe in building a representative workforce," Pichai said, according to audio obtained by CNBC. "We're a global company, we have users around the world, and we think the best way to serve them well is by having a workforce that represents that diversity, and we'll continue to do that."
"At the same time, as a company we will always have to comply with local laws," Pichai added.
Among the most notable changes by Google thus far was with Melonie Parker, the company's chief diversity officer. As of February, her title has been changed to vice president of Googler engagement.
Google's approach to DEI is emblematic of changes that companies across the U.S. are making to their DEI programs in the wake of President Donald Trump's election and initial actions in his return to the White House.
Over the past decade, Silicon Valley and other industries used DEI programs to root out bias in hiring, promote fairness in the workplace and advance the careers of women and people of color – demographics that have historically been overlooked.
Among the first of those targets is the Walt Disney Company. The Federal Communications Commission informed the company on Friday that it will begin an investigation into the DEI efforts at the media giant.
Trump has shown he's willing to fault DEI policies for human tragedy.
Following a midair collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a Black Hawk military helicopter above Washington in January, Trump blasted the Biden administration's DEI policies for the crash without citing any evidence. Trump claimed DEI "could have been" to blame for the deadliest plane crash in the U.S. since 2001.
"When you have the president blaming DEI for a plane crash, I think it makes sense that companies don't want to be out there no matter how they define it internally," Emerson said.
Despite DEI becoming such a divisive term, companies are not necessarily ending their efforts. They're rebranding them. Many companies are continuing DEI work but using different language or rolling it under less charged terminology, like "learning" or "hiring."
Paradigm’s CEO Joelle Emerson is an advocate for diversity and inclusion.
Joelle Emerson has worked since 2014 as a consultant for several hundred clients on workplace performance as well as diversity and inclusion strategies, but last year, she changed the language used to describe her digital platform Paradigm.
Whereas before Paradigm marketed itself as helping clients "harness the power of diversity and inclusion to create a culture where everyone can do their best work and thrive," the company's website now states that its solutions "create an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work and thrive."
Paradigm began using DEI in 2020 after the term proliferated in the corporate response to protests across the country in the wake of George Floyd's death.

Nope, and it's the most under-utilized tool on this platform if you ask me. I mean other than the chain we forked from, obviously, but how many other blockchains offer a layer 1 stablecoin and an exchange to trade the main asset with the stable asset? None... Everything else has to be a smart contract and is vulnerable to censorship and centralization.
Hive is extremely unique in this way, and it's a shame to not see more volume come through there than what does. Maybe when we get this trading bot up for sale on the store, it will make it easier for people to start adding liquidity!
Hive/HBD is indeed one if its kind, obviously forked from steem, but it has retained its value more than that token and the way it stabilizes the HIVE/HBD economy and balances the prices is done with perfection.

Authors pen open letter demanding big tech is 'held accountable' after Meta 'trains AI on pirated books'
A number of authors including Richard Osman, Val McDermid, Kate Mosse, Kazuo Ishiguro and Sarah Waters have signed an open letter from the Society of Authors demanding that Meta be held to account by the UK government following allegations in the US that authors’ works have been used without permission or remuneration to train its AI model.
Damn, I doubled the speed I can play the major scale in 2 months! 90 BPM to 180 BPM. 180 BPM is very easy to crash though so I’ll work on making it more consistent this month
Unpopular opinion...
If people spent half as much time worrying about their own lives as they do other people via social media, or whatever, the world would be a much better and peaceful place.
Or trying to impress others in general.
Yeah, that too. I just focused on social because that's basically where we all live in the digital age. But yeah, vanity in general is exhausting, lol.
That’s the worst cos they have to lead fake lives just to impress
Worrying? No! Focusing? Yes!
Exactly
The craze is sickening 😏
I dont even remember what it was like to have social media life lol

"[Wrapper] just sort of means that it feels less thoughtful. It feels like you're giving this little package around what was built. As opposed to what it really means is, 'I'm going to understand the customer's problem,' " said Andreessen Horowitz partner Bryan Kim. "I'm going to marry this and deliver a solution to what you're trying to achieve."
Wrappers have even changed the way Silicon Valley builds, ushering in the era of vibe-coding. With an app like Cursor, one of the fastest-growing startups ever, anyone can develop an app without a degree or years of coding expertise.
"I love the phrase vibe-coding because, actually, I think it points to ... this new way that we're going to interact with these systems where we're not necessarily going to interrogate all of what they do in process," said E14 Fund Managing Partner Calvin Chin. "Over time as the models improve and these products built on top of them improve, we're going to get other kinds of vibe-activities in the economy. So maybe it's vibe-lawyering, vibe-accounting, and we're going to trust the models more and more."

China smartphone revival
An acceleration in Huawei's consumer business also aided its revenue figures. The consumer business raked in sales of 339 billion yuan, a 38.3% rise and a sharp acceleration from the growth seen last year.
Huawei, once the world's biggest smartphone player, saw its smartphone business in particular crushed by U.S. sanctions that restricted its access to key chips and Google software.
From the end of 2023, however, a semiconductor breakthrough in China allowed Huawei to regroup and release high-end phones that have sold very well domestically.
Margaret Hu, professor of law and director of the Digital Democracy Lab at William & Mary Law School, thinks Americans made the right move. "This development is a disaster for data privacy," said Hu. In her view, the 23andMe bankruptcy should serve as a warning as to why the federal government needs strong data protection laws.
In some states, Hu noted, the government is taking an active role in counseling consumers. The California Attorney General's Office is urging Californians to delete their data and have 23andMe destroy saliva samples. But Hu says that is not enough, and such guidance should be provided to all U.S. citizens.
The potential national security implications of 23andMe's data falling into the wrong hands are not new. In fact, the Pentagon had previously warned military personnel that these DNA kits could pose a risk to national security.
Hu is among the experts concerned these practices could change under 23andMe or any new buyer. "In a time of financial vulnerability, companies such as pharmaceutical companies might see an opportunity to exploit the research benefits of the genetic data," Hu said, adding that they might try to renegotiate prior contracts to extract more data from the company. "Will the next company that buys 23andMe do that?," Hu said of its privacy policies.
In recent days, 23andMe has said it will try to find a buyer who shares its privacy values.
Over the years since 23andMe's founding in 2006, many customers were willing to send in a swab to learn more about their family history. Lansing, Michigan resident Elaine Brockhaus, 70, and her family were excited to learn more about their lineage when they submitted samples of their DNA to 23andMe. But with the company now teetering in bankruptcy and privacy experts concerned about what happens to the millions of people with DNA samples stored, Brockhaus says the whole thing has "caused a bit of a ruckus in my family."
"We enjoyed some aspects of 23&Me," Brockhaus said. "They continually refined and updated our heritage as more people joined, and they were better able to pinpoint genetically related groups," Brockhaus said. She was able to learn more about health risk factors that were present or not present in her past.
"Cybercriminals can use it to target consumers with convincing scams and social engineering tactics, such as fraudulently claiming someone is a blood relative to another person or to send deceptive messages about their potential health risks," Clay said. "Organizations who go bankrupt should ensure the security and privacy of their customer's data is critical, and any sharing or selling of data to others should not be done," he added.
But other experts say the lesson of 23andMe is less about the company's collapse and the threat to privacy that created than serving as a reminder about the everyday cyber hazards related to personal information.
While DEI started as an umbrella acronym to even the playing field, it's become a loaded term.
In 2023, the Supreme Court ruled against Harvard University's affirmative action admission policies – a decision that had implications for how corporations hire. In one of his first acts of his second term, President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January to end the government's DEI programs and put federal officials overseeing those initiatives on leave.
The order directs "all departments and agencies to take strong action to end private sector DEI discrimination, including civil compliance investigations." The administration has targeted nearly 50 companies that it's deemed to be in violation of its anti-DEI rules, Bloomberg reported in February.
As part of that overhaul, Amazon's Candi Castleberry changed her vice president title from "VP of Global Diversity Equity and Inclusion" to "VP of Inclusive Experiences & Technology."
Tech's DEI rollback has accelerated in 2025.
Google, which has cloud-computing contracts with federal agencies, announced in February that it would retire its aspirational hiring targets following Trump's executive orders. Google's commitments for 2025 had included increasing the number of people from underrepresented groups in leadership by 30% and more than doubling the number of Black workers at non-senior levels.
The sensitivity of the term DEI came to the forefront earlier this month at Austin's annual South by Southwest conference. There, Google and Oracle had been slated to participate in a panel, originally titled "Successful Workplaces: Balancing Growth and Well-Being."
"Attendees will leave with actionable insights to align business success with a thriving workplace culture," an early description of the panel noted.
Oracle dropped out from the panel in February. That month, panel organizers informed participating companies that they were considering changing the focus of the conversation to the state of DEI in the workplace.
Google was not informed of the change until late February, the company spokesperson told CNBC, adding that the panel's new topic was outside of the employee's role and experience.
"We had a couple different panelists back out because this conversation, which is so important, has become kind of nuclear at this point, which is wild," said Diana Ransom, Inc. Magazine executive editor and the panel's moderator, at the event.
Gramajo said he doesn't begrudge any of the panelists or companies that pulled out of the panel.
"They are, as we all are, navigating an incredibly complex and uncertain time, where the rules are not clear," he said.
Around the world, plastics find their way into farm fields. Climate change makes agricultural plastic, already a necessity for many crops, even more unavoidable for some farmers. Meanwhile, research continues to show that itty-bitty microplastics alter ecosystems and end up in human bodies. Scientists, farmers and consumers all worry about how that's affecting human health, and many seek solutions. But industry experts say it’s difficult to know where plastic ends up or get rid of it completely, even with the best intentions of reuse and recycling programs.
According to a 2021 report on plastics in agriculture by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, soils are one of the main receptors of agricultural plastics. Some studies have estimated that soils are more polluted by microplastics than the oceans.
Farmers hardest hit by climate change are least able to reduce the presence of cheap plastic waste in soils. That frustrates Innocent Piloya, an agroecology entrepreneur who grows coffee in rural Uganda with her company Ribbo Coffee.
"It's like little farmers fighting plastic manufacturers,” she said.
U.S. law defines a machine gun as a weapon that automatically fires more than one shot with a single pull of a trigger. The definition also includes any parts designed to convert a weapon into a machine gun.
Federal law prohibits possessing machine guns made after 1986, with some exceptions for law enforcement, the military and certain licensed dealers. Nearly all conversion devices are illegal because they were made more recently.
People convicted of possessing machine guns and conversion devices can face up to 10 years in prison.
A Glock switch is one type of a machine gun conversion device. It's a metal or plastic piece, about the size of a coin, that attaches to the back of Glock pistol, a brand that is popular with both police and criminals. The switch interferes with a gun's internal trigger components so that it fires continuously when the trigger is pulled back and held.
Five states including Florida, Illinois, Texas, Montana and North Dakota accounted for nearly half that total.
Alabama is the latest state to outlaw Glock switches. A law signed this month by Republican Gov. Kay Ivey makes possessing parts designed to convert pistols into machine guns a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
The bipartisan push in Alabama came after police said they believed conversion devices had been used in fatal shootings, including one in September that killed four and injured 17 people outside a Birmingham lounge.
Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a law in February making possession of a weapon conversion device a felony punishable by up to three years in prison.
“That really puts the pressure where it belongs — on the manufactures that are making money off of guns that they know can be readily turned into machine guns,” said Nick Suplina, senior vice president for law and policy at Everytown for Gun Safety.
Several cities and states including Baltimore, Chicago, Minnesota and New Jersey have sued Glock for making pistols that can be converted by others to automatic weapons.
The National Rifle Association notes U.S. attorneys already can prosecute people for misusing gun conversion devices without the need for state laws.
Gun Owners of America, another gun-rights group, contends people should have a Second Amendment right to own machine guns. State laws against machine gun conversation devices are “duplicative” and “pure virtue signaling,” said Aidan Johnston, federal affairs director for Gun Owners of America.
AI's vibe-coding era: How the shift to apps changed the race
Value within the artificial intelligence industry is slowly shifting, from the companies developing models to the apps building on top of them.
Early in the AI race, critics viewed apps like Perplexity, Replit, Sesame and Abridge as second-rate middlemen, slapping an interface on someone else's technology. They were disparagingly known as AI wrappers: companies with entire apps or businesses wrapped around existing models. Companies like OpenAI, Google, Meta and Anthropic developed their own models.
The arrival of ultra-efficient models and increasing model commoditization accelerated the shift.
"There was an impression that the only way to compete in AI would be to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to pre-train these web-scale models that could solve every problem underneath the sun, and that was the only game in town for AI," said Shiv Rao, founder and CEO of the healthcare AI startup Abridge. "Very quickly, people figured out that actually, value moves up the stack."
Megacaps like Microsoft poured billions into the first stage of the AI arms race, focusing on the infrastructure and model layer. But models are now increasingly looking commoditized, narrowing the advantage that any model-builder had. While they focused on delivering raw capability and intelligence, app companies looked at real-world uses and solutions.
Huawei 2024 revenue surges to near-record high as China smartphone comeback takes hold
Huawei has been trying to adapt its business to deal with U.S. sanctions that have restricted its access to key technologies like semiconductors.
Huawei reported revenue for 2024 of 862.1 billion Chinese yuan ($118.2 billion), a 22.4% year-on-year rise.
It is the company's second-highest revenue figure ever, according to CNBC calculations, just shy of the record 891.4 billion yuan reported for 2020.
Net profit fell, however, to 62.6 billion yuan, a decline of 28% versus 2023. Huawei said this was a result of increasing investments.
It comes as the Chinese technology giant tries to adapt its business to deal with U.S. sanctions that have restricted its access to key technologies like semiconductors.
"In 2024, the entire team at Huawei banded together to tackle a wide range of external challenges, while further improving product quality, operations quality, and operational efficiency," Huawei's rotating chairwoman Meng Wanzhou said in the company's annual report.
Huawei spent 179.7 billion yuan on research and development, equating to 20.8% of its revenue. That's higher than 2023's 164.7 billion R&D figure. Huawei has been diversifying its business in areas including data centers for AI, cloud computing and automotive technology.
"Over the next three years, despite an economic downturn, we will increase investment in strategic depth, particularly in building foundational technologies, and seek growth opportunities through differentiation," Meng said.
23andMe bankruptcy: With America's DNA put on sale, market panic gets a new twist
Genetic testing company 23andMe's bankruptcy has led to a new consumer privacy issue: what happens to the DNA of millions of Americans when it goes on sale?
DNA testing has become a valuable tool for hobbyists and novice genealogists. For some, learning they are the 10th cousin of Paul Revere or the 15th great nephew four times removed of the last King of Prussia is worth the perceived risk of sharing a DNA sample. But what happens when the company harvesting the DNA goes bankrupt?
That was the question posed to millions of Americans last week when 23andMe, the company that popularized consumer genetic testing and had early backing from Google, filed for bankruptcy, leading to a wave of calls for Americans to delete their DNA from the company's database.

Tecnologia neural chinesa dá salto com chip cerebral em fase de testes humanos
Uma parceria entre um instituto de pesquisa chinês e uma empresa de tecnologia disse na segunda-feira que pretende implantar seu chip cerebral em 13 pessoas até o final deste ano, em um movimento que pode fazer com que ela ultrapasse a Neuralink de Elon Musk na coleta de dados de pacientes.
#technology #china #chip
O Chinese Institute for Brain Research (CIBR) e a NeuCyber NeuroTech, sediados em Pequim, inseriram o Beinao No.1, um chip cerebral sem fio semi-invasivo, em três pacientes no mês passado e têm mais 10 pacientes programados para este ano, disse Luo Minmin, diretor do CIBR e cientista-chefe da NeuCyber.
"No próximo ano, depois de obtermos a aprovação regulatória, faremos testes clínicos formais que incluirão cerca de 50 pacientes", disse Luo aos repórteres, à margem do Fórum Zhongguancun, voltado para a tecnologia, em Pequim. Ele não entrou em detalhes sobre o financiamento ou a duração dos testes.
A aceleração dos testes em humanos pela CIBR e pela NeuCyber pode fazer do Beinao No.1 o chip cerebral com o maior número de pacientes do mundo, destacando a determinação da China em alcançar os principais desenvolvedores estrangeiros do setor.
A empresa norte-americana Synchron, cujos investidores incluem os bilionários Jeff Bezos e Bill Gates, é atualmente a líder global em termos de testes em humanos, com 10 pacientes, seis nos Estados Unidos e quatro na Austrália. A Neuralink, de Musk, tem atualmente três pessoas com seu implante.

What's the requirement for running a vsc node?
I have heard it required some 2k HIVE and now I see the vsc docs that seem way lower..
Link in comment if you want to read it.
The 2000 Hive Power is because you will need the resource credits that amount gives you to be able to run the witness node. People forget, Hive Power is what runs the network, not second layer tokens.
What I read was a bit confusing though. It said, if I remember correctly, 2k HIVE Power, liquid Hive. Something like that.
Does that mean the Hive power should be my own and not delegated and nor from a delegator?
It is 2000 Liquid Hive locked in VSC. You should also have a minimum of 100HP on Hive for RCs. However, for the first few days the 2000 Hive requirement won't be enforced until most nodes have staked the minimum amount.
No, you need Hive Power, not liquid Hive. I am sure it can be delegated from another account, but it's better if you just buy the HP and stake it up yourself, because if not, you would have to use a leasing market and pay people for their delegation, which would probably just end up costing you more than it's worth to just buy your own Hive and stake it up. It's a good time to stack up, only .23 per Hive!
I am apparently wrong on this, it is liquid Hive that has to be locked up. I am not a fan of that setup at all.
Tbh that confused me too. Seemed more logical the way you described it at first.
But maybe (this is a long shot) the liquid Hive that has to be locked up is the same as staking when it's on vsc.
Incorrect, it is liquid Hive that is bonded to your node to participate in consensus. This won't be enforced for the next few days, but it is recommended to accumulate 2000 Hive and lock it in VSC shortly after mainnet is launched.
Seems like a weird way to go about it, but okay, if that's what it is. So basically you are locking up 2000 HP that can only be used for that node, nothing else?
Correct, it is required for consensus security, otherwise we'd have to have a L2 token which I want to avoid
Ah, well that puts things in a different perspective for us. Not sure I want to lock up nearly $500 worth of Hive up just to run a second layer node on top of having to purchase a machine to run it. I was under the impression it was going to be Hive power that was powering it, not liquid Hive, because he have delegation to cover that.
Totally understood. Renting a machine is the best option and very cheap for only like $20USD/Month
So you need to transfer 2k liquid hive to your vsc node account and stake it on VSC (24hr unlock period). I.e. it is not to be staked on Hive but on VSC
In addition you will need to delegate 100 HP to your node running acco6nt
Right. So, the account in the env is the one that need the 2k liquid HIVE and 100 HP (on L1 chain), right? 😁
I'mfeeling a bit alow this morning 😂
Thank you for checking and explaining! 🫶🏼
!BBH !SLOTH !DUO !LUV
exactly
Need to check up on how to transfer to the vsc network 😆
Gotta get home first though
Thank you! 🙏🏼
!BBH !BEER
Wait, so 2000 liquid AND 100 HP staked? Def going to be a no from me. That sounds like some, you need 32 ETH to run a node crap, that will wind up centralizing the hell out of the nodes because I know I am not putting up nearly $500 in Hive
I see what you mean. I don't know if it's the case on the L1 too, but aren't there some kind of requirement to run a node?
To me all network that use nodes seem to be more or less towards the the centralized rather than decentralized. Perhaps it's just methough, but it seems to be the standard 🙄
!BBH !SLOTH
No, with L1, all you need is the machine or VPS, set up and start witnessing. You will need Hive Power to support the resource credits needed, but it's not 2000HP.
And yes, most, if not all proof of stake chains are leaning more to the centralized direction, at least the majority power with a very few kind of thing. I have worked in various ecosystems over the years, and it's a problem in all of them.
It's the best most decentralized and secure way we can launch the network
If that's the way you had to build it, then it is what it is, but that seems like a pretty big barrier of entry, which isn't really that decentralized. Any return guarantees for my locked Hive? Or will I still have to pander for votes?
The barrier to entry is still far less than of others like Hive consensus. Rewards will be going live later this Summer on a proportional basis to your locked Hive. So if 2000 Hive gives you 5% of the total locked Hive, then you would get 5% of the total fee pool

The answer is in the registration form it appears:
Yeah, and it's NOT staked HIVE, it has to be liquid. I don't like it. That's way too much to lock up to run a second layer node.
I agree it's a lot. I wonder what the reasoning for it is. Will try to dig deeper.
I've successfully been running a node for months, and I delegated 100 HP to it, which has been sufficient. The 100 HP required are for resource credits
Not entirely sure what this entails, but I will try to figure it out
Hmm also heard the 2k Hive thingy. But I am not that well informed about this.
Me neither, just visited the docs and it says 50 HP.
I need to dig deeper, would be cool to run a node! Can't do much research today though
50 sounds crazy low 😅
Exactly! Better get in before it's too late 😂
Although, that page is the only one I looked at, so there may be some other requirements too. Hence, the deep dive tomorrow 😁
!BBH !SLOTH
2k Hive must be bonded to your node for participate in consensus. This won't be enforced for the next few days as the network gets started up, but it is recommended to obtain 2k Hive and bond it to your VSC node.
Thx for the clarification 👏👍

Huawei's sales last year were driven by its two biggest businesses — ICT infrastructure and consumer — which together account for around 82% of the company's total revenue.
Revenue at the ICT infrastructure division, which includes its carrier business, rose 4.9% year-on-year to 369.9 billion yuan. This is the Shenzhen headquartered-firm's biggest business by revenue. Huawei is one of the world's largest telecommunications equipment companies and the company said large-scale deployment of next-generation 5G networks had helped drive growth.
The company also said that 2024 was the first year of commercial deployment of next-generation networks, dubbed 5.5G or 5G advanced, which also helped give sales a boost.

In 2024, Huawei's smartphone shipments in China jumped 37% year-on-year, while its market share rose to 16% from 12% in 2023, according to data from Canalys. This came at the expense of Apple, which saw its market share decline and shipments fall.
Huawei has aggressively launched premium smartphones, including the first-ever trifold handset, and has also begun to slowly relaunch devices overseas.
Meanwhile, Huawei also released HarmonyOS 5 in 2024, the first version of its self-developed mobile operating system that reportedly no longer uses any open-source code from Google Android.
Still, analysts have told CNBC that Huawei's overseas prospects remain a challenge given its lack of access to Android, which runs on the majority of the world's smartphones, and continued restrictions in accessing the most cutting-edge chips, such as those found in Apple and Samsung devices.
New business focus
To mitigate some of the effects of U.S. sanctions over the past few years, Huawei has been pushing into new areas such as its digital power division, which includes a focus on energy infrastructure in areas such as electric cars and renewables.
This segment — still a very new business — saw revenue rise 24.4% to 68.7 billion yuan.
Cloud computing revenue came in at 38.5 billion yuan, up 8.5% year-on-year. Huawei said that when cloud sales to its own business units are taken into account, the total revenue for the division is 68.8 billion.

Huawei's smallest business, called Intelligent Automotive Solution, reported a 474.4% year-on-year rise in revenue to 26.4 billion yuan. Huawei develops in-car software as well as driver assistance systems for third-party automakers.
While it's not 100 percent clear if the "delete your DNA" calls were warranted, privacy experts are alarmed, and Americans who had taken the genetic test took the advice to heart.
According to data from online traffic analysis company Similarweb, on March 24, the day of the bankruptcy announcement, 23andMe received 1.5 million visits to its website, a 526% increase from one day prior. According to Similarweb, 376,000 visits were made to help pages specifically related to deleting data, and 30,000 were made to the customer care page for account closure. The next day, that figure rose to 1.7 million visits, and rraffic to the delete data help page about 480,000.
Exposing DNA collected from consumers is not a new issue for 23andMe, either. In 2023, almost 7 million people who took the genetic test were already exposed in a major 23andMe data breach. The company signed an agreement that involved a $30 million settlement and a promise of three years' worth of security monitoring.
But Hu says the bankruptcy does make the company, and its data, especially vulnerable now.

Drug research and genetic testing data
One of the things notable about the consumer mindset in the early years of the popularization of genetic testing was that a majority of users opted into sharing their DNA for research purposes, as much as 80% in the years when 23andMe was growing rapidly. Then, as the market for consumer sale of the popular DNA test kits reached saturation sooner than many expected, 23andMe focused more on research and development partnerships with drug companies as a way to diversify its revenue.
Currently, when 23andMe sells genetic data to other research companies, most is used at an aggregate level, as part of millions of data points being analyzed as a whole. The company also strips out identifying data from the genetic data, and no registration information (like a name or email) is included. Data researchers do need, such as date of birth, is stored separately from genetic data, and shared with randomly assigned IDs.

Now, her family has come full circle in the 23andMe experience: some members were initially reluctant to go along, and now, Brockhaus says, everyone has deleted their accounts.
A unique company collapse, but everyday cyber risks
But Brockhaus continues to view 23andMe within a larger consumer health market where the risks are not new, and health information is being shared in all sorts of environments where security issues could arise. "Anyone sending ColoGuard or receiving medical results through the mail is taking a risk of exposure," Brockhaus said. "Our very identities can be stolen with a few keystrokes. Of course, this does not mean that we should throw up our hands and agree to be victims, but unless we want to dig holes out back and live in them we have to be vigilant, proactive, but not panicked," she added.

Jon Clay, vice president of threat intelligence at cybersecurity firm Trend Micro, says consumers of 23andMe do need to view the bankruptcy as a threat. In any sale process, if the data is not transferred and guarded in the most secure manner possible, "it is at risk of being used by malicious actors for a number of nefarious purposes," he said.
Clay thinks 23andMe's data is incredibly valuable to cybercriminals — not just because it's permanent and personally identifiable, but also because it can be exploited for identity theft, blackmail, or even medical fraud.

"When people start talking about personal data, they forget where their data is already sitting," says Rob Lee, chief of research and head of faculty at SANS Institute, which specializes in helping businesses with information security and cyber issues. Whether it's sending a blood sample into a private lab or getting rid of a laptop to upgrade to a new one, "your digital footprints are being left out there for people to find," Lee said. "People don't understand the scope, so there is a larger discussion out there, specifically around where does data go?"
With DNA information, there are certain basic legal factors people should weigh before swabbing themselves and sending the sample in.
According to Lynn Sessions, an expert on healthcare privacy and digital assets and partner at the law firm BakerHostetler, the federal law that covers patient information privacy, HIPAA, does not apply to this situation, and 23andMe would not be considered a HIPAA-covered entity, or business associate of one. But there are state laws that apply to genetic information that would be in play, such as in California.
Meredith Schnur, a managing director and cybersecurity leader at insurance company Marsh, thinks the risk from 23andMe's bankruptcy for people who sent in their swabs is relatively low. "It doesn't cause any additional consternation or heartburn," Schnur said. "I just don't think it opens up any additional risk that doesn't already exist," she said, adding that many people's information is "already out there."

Last week, a 23andMe co-founder, Linda Avey, blasted the company's leadership. "Without continued consumer-focused product development, and without governance, 23andMe lost its way, and society missed a key opportunity in furthering the idea of personalized health," Avey wrote in a social media post. "There are many cautionary tales buried in the 23andMe story," Avey said.
The bankruptcy itself is the issue that is now hard for consumers to ignore, and until the sale process is completed, the questions will remain.
"When you're in bankruptcy, data privacy values are not what you're really thinking about. You're thinking about selling your company to the highest bidder," Hu said. That highest bidder, Hu says might take the genetic data and consumer profile data and link them together when selling it to others.

And that initial sale which includes the DNA of millions of people may only be the first of many transactions.
"It might sell it off, piece by piece, indiscriminately. And the buyer of that data might be a foreign adversary," Hu said. "That is why this is not just a data privacy disaster. It's also a national security disaster."

After Google scrapped its diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, hiring aspirations in February, CEO Sundar Pichai addressed the matter with his employees at a company all-hands meeting.
"We believe in building a representative workforce," Pichai said, according to audio obtained by CNBC. "We're a global company, we have users around the world, and we think the best way to serve them well is by having a workforce that represents that diversity, and we'll continue to do that."
"At the same time, as a company we will always have to comply with local laws," Pichai added.
Among the most notable changes by Google thus far was with Melonie Parker, the company's chief diversity officer. As of February, her title has been changed to vice president of Googler engagement.
Google's approach to DEI is emblematic of changes that companies across the U.S. are making to their DEI programs in the wake of President Donald Trump's election and initial actions in his return to the White House.
Over the past decade, Silicon Valley and other industries used DEI programs to root out bias in hiring, promote fairness in the workplace and advance the careers of women and people of color – demographics that have historically been overlooked.
Among the first of those targets is the Walt Disney Company. The Federal Communications Commission informed the company on Friday that it will begin an investigation into the DEI efforts at the media giant.
Trump has shown he's willing to fault DEI policies for human tragedy.
Following a midair collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a Black Hawk military helicopter above Washington in January, Trump blasted the Biden administration's DEI policies for the crash without citing any evidence. Trump claimed DEI "could have been" to blame for the deadliest plane crash in the U.S. since 2001.
!summarize #mikewilbon #espn #sports #media
"When you have the president blaming DEI for a plane crash, I think it makes sense that companies don't want to be out there no matter how they define it internally," Emerson said.
Despite DEI becoming such a divisive term, companies are not necessarily ending their efforts. They're rebranding them. Many companies are continuing DEI work but using different language or rolling it under less charged terminology, like "learning" or "hiring."
Paradigm’s CEO Joelle Emerson is an advocate for diversity and inclusion.
Joelle Emerson has worked since 2014 as a consultant for several hundred clients on workplace performance as well as diversity and inclusion strategies, but last year, she changed the language used to describe her digital platform Paradigm.
Whereas before Paradigm marketed itself as helping clients "harness the power of diversity and inclusion to create a culture where everyone can do their best work and thrive," the company's website now states that its solutions "create an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work and thrive."
Paradigm began using DEI in 2020 after the term proliferated in the corporate response to protests across the country in the wake of George Floyd's death.

It's good to having some $HIVE at less than 0.23 HBD.
#hive #trading #crypto
Thanks for using the internal exchange and providing liquidity to that market!
I like decentralised market where ownership remains im hands and no swap fee is a luxury
Yep! Works great for our trading bots to not have any gas fees, lol.
No other decentralised platform provides such freedom to trade worry free
Nope, and it's the most under-utilized tool on this platform if you ask me. I mean other than the chain we forked from, obviously, but how many other blockchains offer a layer 1 stablecoin and an exchange to trade the main asset with the stable asset? None... Everything else has to be a smart contract and is vulnerable to censorship and centralization.
Hive is extremely unique in this way, and it's a shame to not see more volume come through there than what does. Maybe when we get this trading bot up for sale on the store, it will make it easier for people to start adding liquidity!
Your new tool is showing impressive results, and it will sure bring more traders in Hive and provide additional liquidity for the pool
Hive/HBD is indeed one if its kind, obviously forked from steem, but it has retained its value more than that token and the way it stabilizes the HIVE/HBD economy and balances the prices is done with perfection.
