Launched in 2018, Zillow Offers is the company’s instant buying, or iBuying, program designed to make it easier for a homeowner to sell their house. Unfortunately for Zillow and homeowners, it’s anything but. The home-flipping business has received negative reviews and criticism among sellers and critics over the past few years. As a result, Zillow said it’s winding down its Offers operation. “We’ve determined the unpredictability in forecasting home prices far exceeds what we anticipated and continuing to scale Zillow Offers would result in too much earnings and balance-sheet volatility,” company co-founder and CEO Rich Barton said last month....

The odds are now1 in 220 – a notable drop from the 1 in 90 of a decade ago. There are several simple ways to reduce your risk of attracting a second look from Uncle Sam....
While understanding the bare bones of computing, specific programming languages, risk analysis, and networking before working your way up is valuable and may help you have a successful career in cybersecurity, the work opportunities vary based on your interests and the path you wish to pursue. One path you can pursue is that of ethical hacking: Learning how to think like an attacker in order to find and remediate vulnerabilities before threat actors are able to exploit gaps in enterprise systems for illicit financial gain, cyberespionage, or to cause damage....
In December, after eight years of planning, undergraduate students from Utah State University (USU) who made the tiny Get Away Special Passive Attitude Control Satellite (GASPACS) watched NASA launch Pi Zero-powered CubeSat into space. One of the goals of the project was to see if inexpensive, commercial off- the-shelf (COTS) hardware like the Pi Zero would be up to the task of space travel. SEE: Employers are desperate for data scientists as demand booms As the USU physics undergrads detailed in a 2018 paper, a key concern was whether the Pi Zero could withstand radiation damage when reaching Low Earth Orbit....

The PDF Extract API lets users take PDF documents and turn them into JSON data, a readable data type that computers can understand. That data package can then be imported into content management systems or databases for a range of use cases, such as republishing content, extracting data tables, or eliminating the need to re-key information from PDFs into data systems. The Document Generation API lets developers design custom Microsoft Word templates, as well as generate Word and PDF documents injected with dynamic data....
The latest, an image taken by the SOAR Telescope in Chile, shows a comet-like bright streak of dust emerging from the asteroid and stretching across the sky. Astronomers Teddy Kareta from Arizona’s Lowell Observatory and Matthew Knight of the US Naval Academy used the 4.1-meter Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) Telescope in Chile to capture an image of the vast plume of debris that emerged from the asteroid two days after impact....
That’s a key takeaway of a discussion that took place at the recent GOTO 2022 conference between Pierre Pureur, co-author of Continuous Architecture in Practice, and Kurt Bittner, head of enterprise solutions at Scrum.org. Designing and sustaining a well-functioning continuous software architecture requires, above all, patience, Pureur urged. For years, designing a software architecture meant designing something up front, then moving into the deployment stage. Under the traditional notion of architecture, “We don’t write a line of code until all the architecture is nailed down,” Pureur said....
This extra functionality adds up though: at $299/£249, this is something of an investment – especially as some sensors have a limited lifespan. Fitting in sensors for carbon dioxide (CO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM1 and PM2.5), temperature, humidity and air pressure makes the View Plus quite a bit bigger than the Wave Plus, and about three times the size of the dinky Wave Mini. It also takes six (non-rechargeable) AA batteries to power it, or you can plug it in to a USB-C charger....
