Roxana Geambasu Exposes How Companies Use Your Data As a computer scientist Roxana#Geambasu of Columbia University says she picks new projects based on
which is why she s building software that allows people to see where the information they upload to the cloud goes.#
#In order to understand how companies share data Geambasu devises clever ways to track the repercussions. Her latest software uses a series of shadow accounts to see how ads change
when certain phrases are used. She found for instance that when people email about topics like cancer or depression ads for spiritual meditation services will appear.
What's more if people then click on those ads they've confirmed the targeting was effective.
Other programs she s designed make data self-destruct after a set period of time help users track
what information they ve entered where and limit data breaches from lost or stolen phones.
But this idea of services declaring what data they use is going to become extremely important.
As long as companies aren t saying what they do with users#information she ll work to make public how that personal data is shared.

#Satellite data Maps Sea floor's Hidden Depths While many detailed maps exist of Earth s continents
Harnessing never-before-used satellite altimeter data from the European space agency s (ESA) Cryosat-2 and NASA s Jason-1 the scientists have created stunning maps of Earth s entire seafloor bringing to light mountains
So we use that data to generate a topography of the ocean s surface. That topography highlights subtle variations and bumps in the oceans waters telling a lot about the surface underneath.
which has been taking high-resolution measurements of Earth's gravity for the past four years with those of the American-German orbiter GRACE which uses gravity data to measure changes in ice mass.

Paralyzed Rats Walk Again, Now Farther Than Ever Like a severed telephone line (from back in the days when phones had wires) a spinal cord injury can cut off communication between the brain
And it appears that the new algorithm has promise. As the signal's frequency was dialed up from 20 to 90 Hertz the rats took larger steps ranging from 2. 9 to 6. 8 centimeters in height.
The new turning algorithm also helped the rats to overcome more complicated obstacles in the form of rodent-sized staircases
In a nutshell the new algorithms make it easier to control the body's movements to a finer degree in an adaptable way--and in real time.

#The Rise Of Open source Hardware So in the summer of 2012 Petrone (then an engineer at a Portland startup) launched a site where flexible matrix boards
Almost immediately Tindie began attracting favorable attention from the indie hardware community #and then expanded from there.
Today around 600 inventors sell more than 3000 different hardware products which have shipped out to more than 80 countries around the world.
but others are large entities like the Australian government Google and NASA. These days Petrone says NASA s purchasing department just calls my cell phone.#
#The site has gained also a strong following from hard-core DIY types. Just as Etsy became the go-to marketplace for craft creators Tindie has become the primary hub for hardware aficionados.
We are definitely part of and supportive of the maker movement Petrone says. We fill the hardware side.#
#While Petrone achieved his goal of creating a marketplace for hardware projects Tindie also inadvertently made a second contribution to the hardware world:
it now stands as the largest collection of open-source hardware on the planet. Nothing on the site is patented
and the vast majority of sellers have their source code and documentation links available right there on the page Petrone says.
Open source has become very much a part of the brand and what people within the hardware world associate with us.#
#Part of the reason software has led the open source charge is that it has the advantage of being lightweight Petrone explains.
It s a case of atoms versus bits.##Historically big companies have dominated hardware production for two simple reasons:
manufacturing is both expensive and difficult. Hardware requires physical objects which entail manufacturing costs and usually shipping.
But a precipitous drop in prices#which some attribute to the rise of cell phones which made components cheap#is helping to lower the barrier to open source entry for hardware as are crowdsourcing platforms such as Kickstarter.#
#For companies and makers the revenue model for open source hardware is still being worked out since a person could potentially exploit an open source platform and sell it for profit.
But as Arduino#a microcontroller for DIYERS and the most successful open source hardware project to date#shows people tend to buy the $30 original version rather than the $10 copycats.
Most people want to support those who are actually contributing and putting the sweat and time into the project Petrone says.
You don t get the same warm fuzzy feeling when buying a closed product as you do
when you support someone who is creating an open one.##As for Tindie sellers monetary support has so far not been a problem.
There is so much demand for the open source products sold on the site that the waiting list alone contains nearly half a million dollars worth of orders.
For Petrone This has been something incredibly interesting to see because ultimately it s a totally new market that doesn t exist anywhere else.#
#Tindie however is likely only an early example of what is to come.##I think open hardware will start coming into its own in the next ten years Petrone says.
Apple s not going to open source their products anytime soon but Tesla could.##This article was published originally in the October 2014 issue of Popular Science#with#the title The Etsy Of Hardware.

#Google vs The DMV: How To Test A Self-driving car In May 2012 Google's self-driving car underwent a classic American teenage ritual.
It took a driving test at a DMV. The car passed but apparently not without a little lobbying from its parent.
As state officials have monitored the robot car's mileage on public roads Google has lobbied for the car to get different tests
and to report different accident figures than the DMV wants a new series of reports finds.
The reports come from U s. Freedom of Information Act requests that technology journalist Mark Harris submitted to DMVS and other agencies.
Turning to the government let Harris sidestep Google's secretive PR machine as he told the Knight Science Journalism Tracker which recently collected his stories.
Harris'work offers a detailed sense of the car's abilities. It's also a look at Google's lobbying the extent
of which is maybe unsurprising for a private company but still interesting. He published his latest#and most fun#article in IEEE Spectrum.
That's where you can see what situations the Google car is good at and in
For the Guardian Harris wrote about how Google has asked regulators to allow the results of computerized driving simulations#to stand in for tests on driving tracks
For Quartz Harris reported on Google's lobbying not to have to report#how often its cars turn over the controls to their human drivers
That's the kind of handover Google doesn't want to have to report. The company also doesn't want to report
while a human not its algorithms is driving. The California DMV disagreed. Knight Science Journalism Tracker m
DIRTT is hoping to forestall these problems with the help of their Doom engine-based software named ICE.
The Doom engine is a computer program that can render 2-D blueprints into a 3-D space.
Because the engine is open-source DIRTT was able to adapt it for their own needs--for example ICE melts with other design softwares including Autocad.
and create a live data set for every aspect of a space including the electrical engineering millwork and piping.
Once assembled in the shop the walls are shipped flat by truck to the construction site.
When the panels arrive at their destination they're popped into pre-cut aluminum frames which will hold the wall panels upright in the finished building.
But it s not only the speed at which the walls are built that's helpful. Jenkins explains that some buildings such as hospitals may need to reconfigure their interior panels quickly to make way for another patient with different needs.
Not only that but they need to be sensitive to rapid technology changes as well. Hospitals are making decisions for
But DIRTT's videogame background is coming into play once again they are now exploring how the Oculus Rift
and other virtual reality viewing systems may integrate with the ICE software--to further simplify the design process

#Adaptive, Programmable Headlights Cut through Rain, Illuminate Without Blinding Other Drivers This is perhaps the only optical illusion you would want to see
The individual beams are created the same way pixels on a projector are. There's a semiconductor chip that has an array of a million tiny mirrors on it.
The mirrors flip to modulate each pixel's brightness. This way the system can turn off some beams sometimes without the driver noticing too much.
The headlight's onboard computer reacts to what it senses whether it's cars raindrops street signs or anything else within 1 to 2. 5 milliseconds according to Carnegie mellon University.
At the crown of the helmet a flexible panel that has a polycarbonate shell attaches with a living hinge.
Sensors in the helmet collect data on impact force linear or rotational acceleration and location.
#Scientists Send Messages Directly From One Brain To Another So a team of neuroscientists sent a message from the brain of one person in India to the brains of three people in France using brainwave-reading equipment and the Internet.
Instead it puts together neurorobotics software and hardware that have been developed by several labs in recent years.
We're not predicting that this will have practical applications or society-changing implications any time soon.
The cap communicates wirelessly with a laptop that shows on its screen a white circle on a black background.
The emitter translates the message she wants to send into an obscure#five-bit binary system called Bacon's cipher which is more compact than the binary code#that computers use.
The emitter now has to enter that binary string into the laptop using her thoughts.
She does this by using her thoughts to move the white circle on-screen to different corners of the screen.
Upper right corner for 1 bottom right corner for 0.)This part of the process takes advantage of technology that several labs have developed to allow people with paralysis to control computer cursors or robot arms.
The emitter's binary message gets sent over the Internet yay. The receivers sit inside a transcranial magnetic stimulation machine that's able to send electromagnetic pulses through people's skulls.
The pulses make the receivers see flashes of light in their peripheral vision that aren't actually there.
The results are called phantom flashes#phosphenes)# that seem to show up in different positions in the air which is not spooky at all no.
As soon as the receivers'machine gets the emitter's binary message over the Internet the machine gets to work.
Flashes appearing in one position correspond to 1s in the emitter's message while flashes appearing in another position correspond to 0s.
We don't know how the receivers keep#track of all that flashing. Perhaps they take notes using a pen and paper.
Dragline silk the stuff spiders use to make the spokes of their webs and to dangle creepily from ceilings is five times stronger than an equal-sized thread of steel would be.
and autonomously so adding a computer copilot to a naval craft could help there too.
Why not leave all that work to a computer? Perhaps you could use this experimental app that works in Google glass.
The app is supposed to work entirely on Google glass'CPU so it doesn't need to send the images Glass records to the cloud.
when the glasses don't have a data connection which is nice. It could also keep the images the glasses record for the app more secure the images are supposed to stay on the device
A video demo of the software shows a prototype of the app on a laptop.
Over the past few years engineers working for several universities and companies have tried to make emotion-reading algorithms.
Usually the idea is that such algorithms could go into software for marketing departments (How is this new ad making viewers feel?
or into adaptive computer games (How is this level making players feel?.It's also a step toward loading the ability to read people's emotions into robots.
Making a face-reading algorithm for private individuals to use is an unusual but not unheard-of idea.
in addition to needing the software potential buyers have to be able to afford Google glass but perhaps
what's especially useful here is knowing that this kind of computing can be miniaturized to something as small and light as Google glass.
#Google Already Testing Delivery Robots In Australia In rural Australia a drone delivers dog treats to a farmer.
The robot is a proof of concept part of#Project Wing by Google X. The program is designed to show that delivery drones are possible
#Next for Google: figuring out the path from proven#prototype to everyday utility. The drone is a tail-sitter taking off vertically with its body perpendicular to the ground.
Google s driverless car program is an obvious touchstone for this project but it s a limited one.
Still Google s development and prior experience with cars is a strong sign that this work will continue and ultimately yield fruit.
Michael Toscano CEO of#the Association for Unmanned vehicle Systems International said thatit s worth noting that Google tested this technology in Australia first.
Wireless communications systems in the robots will allow users to control the droids remotely. The robot is a tensegrity structure
They developed algorithms for controlling the robots that mimic central pattern generators neural circuits in animals often vital to activities such as locomotion chewing breathing
In addition the researchers also developed a way for the robots to learn how to roll on their own with the help of evolutionary algorithms which is valuable for robots operating by themselves on another planet where the rules for movement might differ from those On earth.
