Elon Musk’s Boring Company has just finished the construction of the first part of a Los Angeles underground tunnel. The segment is called Hawthorne, like the city district it is build under. Its location is not accidental, as Hawthorne is where both The Boring Company and SpaceX headquarters are. The first segment of the tunnel is 1.83 kilometers long, and its construction cost was 10 million USD; not a lot, at least according to Elon Musk, who believes that the price of constructing the tunnel with standard tech would be around 1 billion USD. The opening of the segment was a whole ...

Humanity knows its own planet pretty well, but we are as green as chives when it comes to the knowledge of space. Today, though, we have made at least a little step towards knowing more about our surroundings.

A recent bug that put its users’ security at risk was probably just a straw that broke the camel’s back. Cydia Store purchases are currently disabled. News came from Saurik, who posted about Cydia Store shutting down on Reddit. A more formal message is currently in the works. Tweet Vote on ...

The government of Russia, i.e. Putin, has a beef with Google since the company did not remove websites that the tzar have found inappropriate. Sadly, we do not know which websites exacly are these. The fine itself is rather funny when compared to, say, 4.34 billion euro that Google has to pay up to the European Commission – so small, in fact, that money cannot be the point of it. What is, then? I do not ...

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, is currently being heared by the American Senate board. Chief of Google is answering multiple questions, ranging from information gathering and Chinese browsers to… why is it that Donald Trump comes up so often when you browse the word ”idiot”. The last question was asked by a representative of the Democrats, to which Pichai has assured her that no, Google does not influence browsing results, which are only the results of millions of users’ activities. I doubt that Trump supporters will believe this and besides, who knows? Perhaps Google ...
