It’s been over a year since my last day as a content moderator for Facebook and Instagram in Nairobi, Kenya, but I still can’t sleep without having nightmares.”Every day starting at 7 a.m., I would review between 500 and 1,000 posts on Instagram and Facebook that were reported for violating our platform rules. About 80% of what I saw was blatant abuse, hate and violence. My job was to look at the video, determine if it violated any of Facebook’s Community Standards and then forget about it.”It’s incredible what humans are capable of doing to each other. I thought of…
Methodological and results overviewTraditional RNA-seq studies relied on short-read sequencing approaches that excel at quantifying gene-level expression, but cannot accurately assemble and quantify a large proportion of RNA isoforms11,21 (Fig. 1a). Thus, we sequenced 12 postmortem, aged, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann area 9/46) brain samples individually from six patients with AD and six cognitively unimpaired controls (50% female; Fig. 1b). All samples had postmortem intervals <5 h and an RNA integrity score (RIN) ≥ 9.0; demographics, summary sequencing statistics and read length distributions are shown in Supplementary Table 1 and Supplementary Figs. 1–4. Poly(A)-enriched complementary DNA from each sample was sequenced using one…

As President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump prepare to face off in the 2024 presidential election, their contrasting approaches to technology could dramatically change U.S. tech policy, especially if Trump wins. The US President is a key figure in leading US policy on technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and semiconductor chips. The past four years of the Biden administration have focused on competing with China through promoting domestic chip manufacturing and implementing export controls, while at the same time challenging US technology companies on antitrust issues and leading by example in AI safety development by requiring…
This article is co-published with Just Security.WASHINGTON, DC – January 6, 2021: Protests were seen around the Capitol building where Trump supporters rioted and broke into the building. Lev Radin/ShutterstockIn late March, we convened a working group of experts on social media, election integrity, extremism, and political violence to discuss the relationship between online platforms and election-related political violence. Our goal was to provide practical and effective recommendations on steps platforms can take to ensure their products do not contribute to the potential for political violence, particularly around the time of the U.S. general election in November and affecting countries…
In the U.S. Space Force’s Commercial Space Strategy, released on April 8, the U.S. government explored buying commercial, foreign-made, off-the-shelf solutions rather than investing solely in developing and building specific military solutions in-house or using government contractors. This is a departure from approaches the U.S. has taken in the past and a guide for leadership to move in a new direction. It also tells us some important things about today’s space technology market and how the U.S. perceives the role other nations play in its space and defense strategy. First, non-US commercial industries have reached a level of maturity and…
Europe is looking at next-generation communications technology that will enable faster communications, better support education and remote surgery, and lead to “digital twins” and holographic virtual meetings. The Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) is coordinating the European Union (EU)-funded 6G research network “MiFuture”, which brings together major telecommunications companies such as Ericsson, Nokia and Vodafone, as well as some of the leading universities in mobile communications research. The aim is to initiate progress in the area of multi-antenna technology used in 6G communications. The project will start with 15 contracts and a training programme to help candidates complete their…
