Photo by Avery Evans on Unsplash Your credit score is social credit. Your LinkedIn endorsements are social credit. Your Uber passenger rating, Instagram engagement metrics, Amazon reviews, and Airbnb host status are all social credit systems that track you, score you, and reward you based on your behavior. Social credit, in its original economic definition, means distributing industry profits to consumers to increase purchasing power. But the term has evolved far beyond economics. Today, it de

Microsoft, the latest tech firm to agree to big software discounts for the US government, is digging even deeper into its bargain bin than the competition by offering a year of free Copilot access to government agencies willing to put up with its other problem products. The General Services Administration (GSA) announced its new deal with Microsoft on Tuesday, describing it as a "strategic partnership" that could save the federal government as much as $3.1 billion over the next year.

The Winklevoss twins are aiming for a $2.22 billion IPO for their cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, the company announced in a press release on Tuesday. Crypto is having a moment thanks to the Trump administration’s lax regulatory policies. Meanwhile, the IPO market is heating up again with splashy debuts from other tech stocks like Chime and Figma. The two factors combined make for a particularly profitable environment for crypto-related stocks and IPOs. When it debuts, Gemini will become the t

Scientists Pinpoint Cause of Mysterious Electrical Surges on Satellites

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-21 21:40:43

In 1994, two Canadian TV satellites failed within mere hours of each other. The pair was in a geostationary orbit when a major solar storm hit, resulting in electrostatic discharges that disabled their control electronics. Anik E1 and E2 are just one example of the effects of electric charge buildup on satellites, known as spacecraft environment discharge. New findings show a direct correlation between a spacecraft’s electric discharge and peaks in the flux of electrons in space, identifying hu

ICE reactivates contract with spyware maker Paragon

techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2025-10-22 01:11:25

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) signed a contract last year with Israeli spyware maker Paragon worth $2 million. Shortly after, the Biden administration put the contract under review, issuing a “stop work order,” to determine whether the contract complied with an executive order on commercial spyware, which restricts U.S. government agencies from using spyware that could violate human rights or target Americans abroad. Almost a year later, when it looked like the contract would

Bitcoin bucks stock market downtrend but lags gold rally

The moves came amid a sell-off in stocks and a jump in bond yields, which were triggered by concerns — which first emerged late on Friday ahead of the extended holiday weekend — on the legality of President Donald Trump's global tariffs and the prospect that the U.S. may have to repay money already received .

It seems clear we’re still a year away from the first iPhone Fold, but the rest of the market isn’t standing still. Samsung is planning to launch its first trifold phone this year, and Huawei is already onto its second-generation model. On a pedantic note, I would argue that as they have two sets of hinges, they are bifold rather than trifold, but the industry seems to have adopted the latter term, so I guess we’re stuck with it now … Huawei was first off the block with the Mate XT, shown abov

Businesspeople and politicians would be replaced, and a new society of abundance would be possible through science.
