A recent Pew report found that a majority of Americans believe that most human jobs could be automated by 2065.

Jul 15, 11:45PM
Access to several social media sites was blocked for over an hour in Turkey today during a reported military coup.

Jul 15, 10:36PM
GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! Er, wrong show. W-w-w-whoa, Morty. Rick and Morty is coming to virtual reality by way of the HTC Vive. Beyond that, there’s… not a whole lot to know, just yet, except that it’s called “Rick and Morty Simulator: Virtual Rick-ality” and is being built by Owlchemy — the same folks who made the silly but oh-so-wonderful Job Simulator for… Read MoreHelloMD looks to its 'Quora for cannabis' as a source of growth
Jul 15, 10:14PM
I’m in Canada, and I’m having a conversation about weed. So far, everything’s tracking.

And while the core business began as a way to use telemedicine to connect doctors with… Read MoreSales startup Immediately will shut down as team members join New Relic

Legion Analytics is looking to make your sales team more productive with the help of artificial intelligence.

Jul 15, 7:36PM
Let’s just push past the whole inherent irony of naming a product category “smart dumbbells,” shall we? This is 2016, we’re living in the future. And really, if something isn’t connected to a smartphone, does it really exist? No. Of course it doesn’t. BowFlex has been showing off it ST560 Smart Dumbbells for a couple of years now, and, much to the chagrin of… Read MoreNASA shows off the design for its Mars 2020 rover

Jul 15, 5:00PM
A team of scientists from Oxford University used a virtual prototype to demonstrate how the natural movement of bacteria could be harnessed to turn cylindrical rotors and provide a steady power source.

Jul 15, 4:45PM
The team behind project management service Wrike spent the last few years building a general-purpose project management service that businesses can adopt to their own needs. That clearly worked, because as Wrike CEO Andrew Filev told me, the company’s revenue grew 120 percent last year and it now has about 400 employees and 12,000 businesses on its paid platform. Now that this platform… Read MoreElon Musk adamantly standing by improving radar even though it's so close to lidar
Jul 15, 4:13PM
In the past, Elon Musk has rejected Lidar, saying it’s unnecessary to achieve full driving autonomy. But in taking to his Twitter account between late Thursday night and early Friday morning, the Tesla CEO couldn’t help but announce improvements to the automaker’s radar … which isn’t Lidar, even though the end results sound awfully Lidar-like.
