Well, I now have the answer to how Snapchat does age verification for under-16s: they give an underage kid the ability to change their date of birth, then do a facial scan to verify. The facial scan (a third party tells me…) allows someone well under 16 to pass it easily. So, is that control "reasonable"? I guess that will depend on whether this case is an outlier or a much more common scenario, and a sample set of one isn't particularly scientific. Either way, I expect that what we're seeing is representative of a pretty obvious problem: privacy-preserving age…

Scientists in California have turned a sci-fi like idea into reality. A company called REMspace has successfully achieved two-way communication between two people who were both asleep and lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when someone becomes aware that they are dreaming and can even control parts of the dream. This happens during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep, which is when our dreams are the most vivid. The two participants in the experiment were both experienced lucid dreamers, meaning they had developed the skill to be aware that they were dreaming. The experiment took place on September 24,…

A new multi-stage phishing campaign has been observed targeting users in Russia with ransomware and a remote access trojan called Amnesia RAT. “The attack begins with social engineering lures delivered via business-themed documents crafted to appear routine and benign,” Fortinet FortiGuard Labs researcher Cara Lin said in a technical breakdown published this week. “These documents and accompanying scripts serve as visual distractions, diverting victims to fake tasks or status messages while malicious activity runs silently in the background.” The campaign stands out for a couple of reasons. First, it uses multiple public cloud services to distribute different kinds of payloads.…

Last year alone, Scent Journer sold over 8,000 of its hand-blended perfumes For as long as she can remember, Joyce Lian has been fascinated by scents—not just how they smell, but why they smell the way they do. That curiosity led her to enrol in Singapore Polytechnic’s perfumery and cosmetic science course in 2013, where she learned about raw materials, chemical structures, and the formulation of personal care products. Her interest only deepened during a 10.5-month internship at global giant International Flavours & Fragrances, where she was posted to the fragrance department. With permission from the company, Joyce often stayed…

The James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work officially launched on Nov. 3, 2025, bringing together scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to explore critical questions about economic opportunity, technology, and democracy.Co-directed by MIT professors Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, and Simon Johnson, the new Stone Center analyzes the forces that contribute to growing income and wealth inequality through the erosion of job quality and labor market opportunities for workers without a college degree. The center identifies innovative ways to move the economy onto a more equitable trajectory.MIT Provost Anantha Chandrakasan opened the launch event by emphasizing the urgency and importance of…

Transactional tactics are over. In 2026, winning requires community building and aligned incentives. No more exploitation; just win together. Marketing as an industry has to face its fatal flaw-it cannot exist in a vacuum of its organization. Yes, the industry acts like it understands its customer but it understands what the data shows and the result is quite obvious-the shrinking ROI has hit everyone. Even though marketing has become a driver of organizational growth, this sentiment is not true for every organization. B2B companies suffer from poor lead management, and CMO tenures are shrinking Y-o-Y. Maybe that’s why agencies have…
