Memory lanes: Google’s map of our lives | Google Street View

I am leaning against a wall outside my secondary school in my home town of Canterbury, waiting for my mother to pick me up. She is late, as usual. I rest my head on the stone wall, which is obsidian smooth with the occasional sharp edge. I can feel a flinty knuckle of rock pressing into the base of my skull. I shift uncomfortably in my non-regulation high heels and watch the other parents come and go. I am irritated and worried I won’t have enough time to finish my GCSE coursework that… Source link

Back in early 2018, the owner of Ark Invest said Tesla shares would go from $300 to $4,000 within five years — a potential upside of around 1,200%. Yet Tesla hit the target early. This January, Tesla shares surged past the $800 mark, or $4,000 on a split-adjusted basis. Pretty astounding, but Tesla may not be Wood’s most bullish call at the… Source link

Employers are firing more people over fake vaccine cards

It doesn’t sound as bad as a bomb cyclone, but it may end up slamming us just as hard. This super cycle, (or “Super Cycle” to some) has been the talk of Wall… Source link

‘I got the new iPhone; I can’t tell the difference really’

Apple (AAPL) co-founder Steve Wozniak says he finds recently released iPhone 13 to be virtually indistinguishable from the device’s previous incarnations. “I got the new iPhone; I can’t tell the difference really,” Wozniak said. “The software that’s in it applies to older iPhones, I presume.” The newest Apple smartphone has received a fairly positive reception overall, though some reviewers have consistently criticized a perceived stagnation of new features and improvements for… Source link
