In 2013, Samyuktha Vijayan, then a software engineer in Bengaluru, moved to Europe as she decided to transition from being a man to a woman.
“I always knew I won’t be able to go through it if I was in India,” she says. “I had seen people who had transitioned (in India) face a lot of issues.”
Over the next four years, Vijayan lived in Luxembourg and then in the US working with the e-commerce major Amazon. “In the US, the transition process is relatively easy. There is insurance support there and depending upon the company you may be working for it’s far easier for one to get to speak to a counselor or doctor,” she adds.

Une étude portant sur 355 essais cliniques (405 000 participants) révèle que, près de 27 mois après leur fin, à peine la moitié (176 essais) avait donné lieu à des publications dans des revues scientifiques. Et 42 essais, sans avoir été publiés, ont toutefois vu leurs résultats reportés dans une base de données institutionnelle [5]. Les auteurs estiment qu'au bout de quatre ans, les résultats de 82 % des études portant sur 90 % des participants seront disponibles. Une autre étude portant sur 585 essais (...) Science & conscience
Pour fêter à leur manière les 50 ans de la mission Apollo 11 qui a permis à 2 humains de mettre leur petit pied sur la lune, LEGO a réalisé un astronaute de la mission en taille réelle. Pour réaliser cette oeuvre, ils ont utilisé plus de 30 000 briques, et ont poussé le sens du détail jusqu’à faire le « reflet » de Neil Armstrong prenant la photo, dans la visière du casque de Buzz. Cette réalisation sera visible au National Mall de Washington DC du 18 au 20 juillet de cette année pour ceux qui sont dans le coin.

Online food delivery in India is pretty much a duopoly. Zomato and Swiggy together fulfil over three-quarters of all orders.
Between the two, Zomato has a slight edge. Its app is installed on 12% of all Indian smartphones, compared with Swiggy’s 10%, according to data shared with Quartz by the market research firm Unomer. The instal base of rival apps, meanwhile, is in low single-digits.
The penetration of these apps is also higher in tier-2 cities than in metros, Unomer’s data, collected from six million smartphone users in the country in May 2019, show.

Seit Jahrzehnten fordern Staaten die Rückgabe gestohlener Kunstwerke: Griechenland und Nigeria stellen Forderungen an das British Museum, Ägypten an das Louvre, Benin an das Quai Branly.... Die Leihgabe von Kunstwerken ist kein neues Phänomen. Teils waren es sogar Leihgaben, die einige Werke zu weltweiter Bekanntheit verhalfen. Aber was ist in einem so zweifelhaften Kontext mit gestohlenen oder erworbenen Werken zu tun? Im Jahr 2018 legte der von Emmanuel Macron in Auftrag gegebene Bericht Sarr-Savoye den Rahmen für die Rückgabe von Kulturgütern an die ehemals von Frankreich kolonisierten afrikanischen Länder fest. Dennoch gibt es immer noch viele Debatten und Kontroversen um folgende Fragen: Ist...

Photo: Neuralink Elon Musk’s Neuralink, the secretive company developing brain-machine interfaces, showed off some of the technology it has been developing to the public for the first time. The goal is to eventually begin implanting devices in paralyzed humans, allowing them to control phones or computers.
The first big advance is flexible “threads,” which are less likely to damage the brain than the materials currently used in brain-machine interfaces. These threads also create the possibility of transferring a higher volume of data, according to a white paper credited to “Elon Musk & Neuralink.” The abstract notes that the system could include “as many as 3,072 electrodes per array distributed...

Petitioning is an ancient practice in China where ordinary citizens who believe they cannot get justice through the legal system travel to the capital in the hopes of appealing directly to the emperor or leader. Now, members of China’s elite are adopting the tradition to to seek justice on an unlikely platform—Twitter.
In recent months, the families or allies of fallen giants such as Wu Xiaohui, the former chairman of insurance giant Anbang Group who was sentenced to 18 years in prison for fraud last year, and Zhou Yongkang, the former security czar who was charged with corruption in 2015, have aired their grievances on the social network, which is blocked in China.

As Hong Kong enters its seventh week of protests, all signs are pointing to a long summer of demonstrations ahead. They’ll be sustained not only by the protesters’ unflagging energy, but also by the large amounts of money that people are donating to keep the movement going.
Across the city, all sorts of grassroots initiatives have popped up to support the protests in different ways—including raising funds for lawyers to represent arrested protesters and to pay medical bills (link in Chinese), or to fund research and publicity—with people who may previously never have attended a protest tapping into their respective fields of expertise to help in their own small ways.

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google is banning a Chinese developer from the Play store for violating its advertising policies. CooTek, which is listed on the NYSE and is probably best known in the West for its TouchPal keyboard replacement, no longer has access to Google’s ad platforms and has had dozens of apps removed altogether. The news was reported by BuzzFeed following an investigation from Lookout that showed hundreds of CooTek apps using an invasive adware plugin called BeiTaAd. This plugin reportedly sent aggressive ads to users even when the phone or the app wasn’t in use, which Lookout researcher Kristina Balaam said could “render the phones nearly unusable.”

In 2015, a Connecticut teenager raised the question of whether our robots have the right to bear arms when he jury-rigged a working flamethrower — and separately, a semiautomatic pistol — to his drone. But this Thursday, for better or worse, you’ll be able to easily build a flying flamethrower yourself. You’re looking at a the Throwflame TF-19 Wasp, a functional flamethrower attachment for commercial-grade heavy lift drones that can hit targets up to 25 feet away, with a one-gallon fuel tank that can produce a stream of fire for 100 seconds, according to the company.
Mind you, the $1,499 price for the flamethrower won’t get it up in the sky, as you’ll need to provide the drone, too — which you...

Four years after Samsung introduced a tap-to-pay mobile wallet that works practically anywhere your credit card does — even older magnetic-stripe card readers — and two years after LG started testing it in Korea, LG’s rival LG Pay has finally arrived in the United States.
That might be pretty intriguing if you’re an LG smartphone owner, because it’s a way more flexible payment tech than most other rivals on the market. Where Apple Pay and Google Pay only work with newer payment terminals that support near-field communication (NFC), LG Pay allows your phone to generate a magnetic signal that looks — to the reader — just like you swiped a traditional magstripe credit card. That’s been an...

Beyonce just might be the necessary ingredient to rocket Afrobeats into the mainstream US music scene.

The singer, who lends her voice to the character Nala in the movie, has even called the soundtrack “a love letter to Africa”
“I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa and not just use some of the sounds and did my interpretation of it. I wanted it to be authentic to what is beautiful about the music in Africa,” she says in an interview with ABC TV.

Popular CDN and DDoS protection service Cloudflare has come under a lot of pressure from copyright holders in recent years.
The company offers its services to millions of sites, including some of the world’s leading pirate sites.
Many rightsholders are not happy with this. They accuse Cloudflare of facilitating copyright infringement by continuing to provide access to these platforms. At the same time, they call out the CDN service for masking the true hosting locations of these ‘bad actors’.
Cloudflare’s activities have also triggered some lawsuits. Just last week, we reported that an Italian court ordered the company to terminate the accounts of several pirate sites. In the U.S. there’s an ongoing...

Elle n'avait pas partie gagnée, mais Ursula von der Leyen a bien été élue présidente de la Commission européenne, mardi 16 juillet à Strasbourg. Avec seulement 9 voix de marge par rapport à la majorité absolue, elle succédera à Jean-Claude Juncker le 1er novembre prochain. Parmi ses priorités : la lutte contre le changement climatique, le renforcement de la démocratie européenne, les droits sociaux, les droits des femmes, ou encore la si sensible réforme du droit d'asile.
At the time of publication, Hackaday is of the understanding that there is no pro-wasp lobby active in the United States or abroad. Why? Well, the wasp is an insect that is considered incapable of any viable economic contribution to society, and thus has few to no adherents who would campaign in its favor. In fact, many actively seek to defeat the wasp, and [TegwynTwmffat] is one of them.
[Tegwyn]’s project is one that seeks to destroy wasps and Asian Hornets in habitats where they are an invasive pest. To achieve this goal without harming other species, the aim is to train a neural network to detect the creatures, before then using a laser to vaporize them.

Bandwidth is one of those technical terms that has been overloaded in popular speech: as an example, an editor might ask if you have the bandwidth to write a Hackaday piece about bandwidth. Besides this colloquial usage, there are several very specific meanings in an engineering context. We might speak about the bandwidth of a signal like the human voice, or of a system like a filter or an oscilloscope — or, we might consider the bandwidth of our internet connection. But, while the latter example might seem fundamentally different from the others, there’s actually a very deep and interesting connection that we’ll uncover before we’re done.

A l’occasion du troisième anniversaire du meurtre de Seth Rich, Yahoo News a publié une enquête exclusive sur l’implication des services de renseignements russes dans la théorie du complot autour de la mort de ce jeune activiste du parti démocrate.
À l’été 2016, des agents des services de renseignement russes ont confectionné une théorie du complot affirmant que Seth Rich, un employé du Comité national du parti démocrate (DNC), avait été abattu par des tueurs travaillant pour Hillary Clinton. Un fait divers tragique donnait ainsi naissance à un mythe complotiste qui a séduit de nombreux sympathisants de la droite conservatrice américaine avant de circuler dans l’entourage de Donald...

New parents will tell you that a baby takes a few months to acquire something close to a day/night sleep pattern, and during that time Mom and Dad also find their sleep becomes a a rarely-snatched luxury. [Seung Lee] has turned this experience into a unique data visualisation, by taking the sleep pattern data of his son’s first year of life and knitting it into a blanket.
The data was recorded using the Baby Connect app, from which it was exported and converted to JSON. This was in turn fed to some HTML/Javascript which generated a knitting pattern in a handy format that could be displayed on any mobile or portable device for knitting on the go. The blanket was then knitted by hand as a series of panels that...

It would be fair to say that the Raspberry Pi team hasn’t been without its share of hardware issues, with the Raspberry Pi 2 being camera shy, the Raspberry Pi PoE HAT suffering from a rather embarrassing USB power issue, and now the all-new Raspberry Pi 4 is the first to have USB-C power delivery, but it doesn’t do USB-C very well unless you go for a ‘dumb’ cable.

La politica è una peculiare attività che produce contemporaneamente fatti e interpretazioni dei fatti. La politica ha prodotto imperi, stati e civiltà. Ma la politica ha prodotto anche le ideologie che hanno messo in discussione e sconvolto imperi, stati e civiltà. L'elezione europea mostra bene l'ambiguità dell'azione politica.

Brijean “Show and Tell”
I did not realize until I’d heard this song several times that Brijean Murphy, the primary performer and namesake of this project, is mostly a percussionist. But that certainly makes sense of this music, which is very much built around rhythm in terms of both structure and texture. “Show and Tell” is a tropical disco tune driven largely by Murphy’s congas. The percussion is busy but there’s no clutter in the arrangement – it all feels loose and airy, and the polyrhythms are more about signaling movement than keeping you consciously aware of the beat. The textural emphasis is more on Murphy’s breathy voice as she entices you to relax and enjoy the feeling, and on the...

« Depuis l’enfance, j’ai toujours été fasciné par l’art et la créativité », révèle Samir Belhamra. Ce graphiste Français a débuté la création artistique par le dessin puis les graffitis et la réalisation de diverses inventions. « Puis Internet, la photographie et des outils tels que Photoshop m’ont ouvert un horizon infini pour voyager dans des univers graphiques. Cela m’a permis de développer mes propres idées et de lancer mon activité ». Avec ses œuvres atypiques situées entre la réalité et l’imaginaire, l’artiste souhaite avant tout « que mes œuvres fassent rêver, voyager et qu’elles puissent changer les perceptions ».

When we see these cyberdeck builds, the goal is usually to just make something retro-futuristic enough to do William Gibson proud. There’s really no set formula, but offset screens coupled with large keyboards and a vague adherence to 1980s design language seem to be the most important tenets.
Granted the recent build by [lewisb42] still leans heavily on those common tropes, but at least there’s a clear lineage: his Raspberry Pi retro all-in-one is styled after a particularly rare bright red variant of the MSX that Sony released in Japan. Known as the HIT-BIT HB-101, some aficionados consider the circa-1984 machine to be the peak of MSX styling. Since getting his hands on a real one to retrofit wasn’t...

Blocking websites associated with piracy is one of the most common tools deployed against unauthorized content distribution involving movies, TV shows, and music. However, the rising consumption of pirate sources of live TV, particularly sports, has presented broadcasters with a new challenge. The Premier League has been attempting to solve this problem in the UK with so-called ‘dynamic’ blocking injunctions, one which allows servers to be blocked in real-time by ISPs, as matches are underway. Earlier this month it was reported that the League had filed an application to expand this effort to Ireland. Targeting major ISPs Eircom, Sky, Virgin Media, and Vodafone, the League sought permission to have these...

Il vous suffit d’importer votre vidéo, via un simple glissé-déposé, et de faire défiler les images jusqu’à sélectionner la partie que vous voulez extraire.
