It’s called Emerald Road, and the marketplace is the brainchild of legacy farmer Justin Calvino. Part brand store and part consumer-brand interface platform, the dream is to let customers interact directly with their favorite farm, take a tour, talk to growers, and buy products that are delivered via Organic Kind, which has signed on as the platform’s delivery partner....

As previewed earlier this year during the Google I/O conference, My Ad Center allows you to tell Google whether you’d like to see more or fewer ads on a certain topic – or even no personalized ads at all. Previously, turning off personalized ads within Google required limiting the functionality of its products. “In the past, if your YouTube History was on, it automatically informed how your ads were personalized,” Google VP Jerry Dischler wrote in a blog post....

Also known as the onion router, the network is used to circumvent censorship and is widely accessed by civil rights activists, whistleblowers, lawyers, human rights defenders, and those under oppressive regimes. On Monday, the network developers said an appeal has been filed regarding a decision by the Saratov District Court to impose a block on the torproject.org website in Russia....

The social media platform explained in a blog post that the account sets that have been removed include eight “distinct operations” that can be attributed to China, Mexico, Russia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Venezuela. “Every account and piece of content associated with these operations has been permanently removed from the service,” Twitter said. Listing out the operations, the majority of accounts removed in this round of purges were linked to China, with over 2,000 of them amplifying Chinese Communist Party narratives related to the treatment of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang....

Two-factor authentication (2FA) – or multi-factor authentication (MFA) as it’s alternatively known – is one of the key methods that individual users and wider organisations can use to help protect their online accounts from being hacked, even if their login credentials have been leaked or stolen. However, according to the DCMS Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2022, only around third of organisations have any requirement for two-factor authentication on user accounts – the figure stands at 37% for businesses and 31% for charities....

During November and December, Uniti picked up Telstra Velocity for AU$140 million, paid AU$9.25 million for Harbour ISP, and ended the saga to acquire Opticomm. Broken down by segment, wholesale and infrastructure contributed the lion’s share of revenue and earnings, accounting for AU$105 million in revenue, and AU$79 million in EBITDA. The company said this trend would continue as it now has a fibre-to-the-premise order book that increases to over 250,000 lines....

Many businesses had to swiftly introduce working from home at the start of the pandemic, with employees becoming reliant on cloud services including Remote Desktop Protocols (RDP), Virtual Private Networks (VPN) and application suites like Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace. While this allowed employees to continue doing their jobs outside the traditional corporate network, it has also increased the potential attack surface for cyber criminals. Malicious hackers are able to exploit the reduced level of monitoring activity, while successfully compromising credentials – that are used to remotely login to cloud services – provides a stealthy route into corporate environments....

The data in question comes specifically from the Institute for Systems Biology-Cancer Gateway in the Cloud (ISB-CGC) – part of the US National Cancer Institute’s Cloud Resources. The NCI created Cloud Resources so that scientists wouldn’t have to download and store extremely large datasets. With the ISB-CGC on Google Cloud, two researchers developed a set of Google BigQuery user-defined functions (UDFs) to perform statistical tests on breast cancer data. Using the UDFs, analysis that would have taken days with an on-premise program took just minutes to complete....

By this fall, the new HPE Cray supercomputers should deliver an improvement to the US Global Forecast System (GFS), a weather forecast model that generates data related to variables like temperature, wind, precipitation, soil moisture, and atmospheric ozone concentration. The new system will also help NOAA ready its new hurricane forecast model, the Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS). The agency wants HAFS up and running in time for the 2023 hurricane season....

People are essentially good and kind. Generosity is a prime facet of a good human being. And families are truly beautiful. This is constantly reinforced by brands offering ads that make us smile and weep. Well, thank you, Verizon, for finally speaking a little truth to the power of Christmas delusion. Specifically, the joy of families and their plans. Yes, Verizon sells family plans. Dig a little deeper, however, and you’ll see it has a subversive arm that sells the truth....

Accelerator is based on Eon technology, which Vertica announced several years ago, which provides a cloud-native separation of compute from storage that run , not only at compute tier, but also in the storage tier with its support of MinIO and other third party object storage systems for on-premises deployments. The wraps began coming off when Vertica announced an early access program back in June, in conjunction with the acquisition of Full360, a company that helps customers migrate their databases from on-premises to cloud-native deployments....

The announcement was part of a diplomatic trip Harris made to Paris, where she met with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss a range of issues. Macron spearheaded the creation of the initiative in 2018 and has long sought the inclusion of the US. But the administration of former President Donald Trump refused to join, criticizing it because both China and Russia also were not part of it. A recent statement from the White House says the US “looks forward to continued partnership with France and other governments, private sector, and civil society around the world to advance and promote norms of responsible behavior in cyberspace....
