«The device could net you about $300 a month. That number, of course, will also vary based on your local energy consumption rates. The upside to this is that, in addition to stacking crypto coins, each Comino cryptoheater packs enough oomph to keep a 25-30 square meter room comfortably warm, according to the company. Perhaps the least appealing aspect about the Comino cryptoheater is its exorbitant price. The device sells at $5,000 a pop, though you can currently cop one at a discount at $4,500».

« A secretive division at Facebook’s California headquarters has been experimenting with mind-reading technology for several months, the company revealed.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder, has previously described telepathy as the “ultimate communication technology”, but the social network’s ambitions have been unclear.
At Facebook’s annual developer conference on Wednesday, Regina Dugan, head of the company’s experimental technologies division Building 8, said Facebook was working on “optical neuro-imaging systems” that would allow people to type words directly from their brain at 100 words per minute: five times the speed possible on a smartphone.
“It sounds impossible but it’s closer than you think,” said Ms Dugan, who joined Facebook from Google last year and previously led DARPA, the US government’s advanced defence research division. »

« Facebook executives promote advertising campaigns that exploit Facebook users’ emotional states—and how these are aimed at users as young as 14 years old. According to the report, the selling point of this 2017 document is that Facebook’s algorithms can determine, and allow advertisers to pinpoint, « moments when young people need a confidence boost. » If that phrase isn’t clear enough, Facebook’s document offers a litany of teen emotional states that the company claims it can estimate based on how teens use ».
