The White House Is Going to Put Government Statistics on the Blockchain (Yeah, We Don’t Know Why Either)

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-10-31 08:20:38

Remember back in 2017 when Bitcoin’s price soared and companies started promising to add everything to the blockchain? It was an embarrassing era, since blockchain technology has very few practical purposes that can’t be solved by a regular, old-school database. But it sounds like the White House just got the memo and wants to usher in the world of 2017 again. President Donald Trump held a televised “cabinet meeting ” at the White House on Tuesday that clocked in at over 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Emergency help for low blood sugar

technologyreview.com Anne Trafton 2025-10-31 12:00:00

Most people with type 1 diabetes inject insulin to prevent their blood sugar levels from getting too high. However, if their blood sugar gets too low, it can lead to confusion, seizures, and even death. To combat this hypoglycemia, some patients carry syringes of glucagon, a hormone that stimulates release of glucose. Now MIT engineers have developed an alternative that could work even when people don’t realize they are becoming hypoglycemic. It could also help during sleep, or for children who

SpaceX Just Sent the ISS a New Way to Stay in Orbit

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-31 16:05:29

The International Space Station (ISS) has been in orbit for over 26 years, housing astronauts at an altitude of 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth. But even at that distance, the space station can’t escape the drag of Earth’s atmosphere as oxygen molecules and other gases collide with it, causing it to lose altitude over time. For the ISS to retain its status in orbit, NASA and its partners perform the occasional reboost maneuver. This is typically done using the space station’s own thruste

Bridging the Governance Gap: AI, Risk, and Enterprise Innovation

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-11-01 10:00:05

Artificial intelligence (AI) is redrawing the boundaries of IT governance. Traditional frameworks built around predictability, transparency, and linear systems are ill-suited to AI and machine learning models’ dynamic, opaque, and constantly evolving nature. As organizations expand AI applications across critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and public services, the friction between innovation and oversight grows more pronounced.
