The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency launched a new project Monday to develop an interface that could be implanted in the human skull for “unprecedented signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth” between human brains and computer interfaces. The chip wouldn’t even be that big.

CYPULCHRE is a dark and twisted cyberpunk thriller that will take readers on a journey through revolt and redemption, high-tech nightmares and low-life dreams.
The inventor of the CLOUD technology—that’s swept Los Angeles’ rich and willing into the noosphere—has lived in exile for a decade, north of the mountains, feared, defamed, and despised by his former colleagues and estranged family. When he learns that the same technology that led to his downfall now threatens his family as well as the thousands synchronized to it, he must take action. Nothing is what it seems, especially with his psychoses turning allies to enemies, and enemies into demons.

This year, high school juniors and seniors will buy a $100 calculator that’s older than they are. The TI-83 was released in 1996, when mobile phones had antennas and PCs were mostly used for word processing. Technology has not yet killed the reliable old TI-83. Nearly 20 years later, students are still forced to use a prohibitively expensive piece of outdated technology. Texas Instruments and the American education system may be standing in the way of better (and sometimes free) options.

His name is Bapurao Tajne. This is the worst drought they’ve had in decades but the higher caste villagers said his family weren’t allowed to use the town well because they’re Dalit, a lower caste and deemed “untouchable”.
On top of being a day labourer he spent 40 days digging, and without any form of surveying technology or experience he hit water.
“I don’t want to name the well owner for I don’t want bad blood in the village. However, I feel that he insulted us because we are poor and Dalits. I came home that day in March and almost cried.”
“It is difficult to explain what I felt in those days. I just wanted to provide water for my whole locality so that we Dalits did not have to beg for water from other castes.”
Thank you so much for adding this. I grabbed this off Twitter and didn’t know much about this.
