Meta accused of using biased AI targeting for mass layoffs
A group of 26 former Meta employees is suing the company over claims that it used AI tools to unfairly target workers on leave with layoffs, as reported earlier by Reuters. In the lawsuit, the employees allege Meta determined which workers to dismiss based on performance data col
Google and Epic give up fighting — third-party Android app stores are coming next week
Epic Games and Google have just jointly withdrawn their attempt to retroactively settle the lawsuit that's changing how Android app stores work in the United States - and that means Google will be forced to carry rival app stores inside of its own. In fact, Google tells the court
OpenAI pushes back on Apple trade secret lawsuit
OpenAI has issued another statement on the lawsuit, this time suggesting it lacks merit. O recorte ajuda a contextualizar a pauta dentro de Tech.
Fair Workweek laws improve work schedules without cutting pay or benefits, according to re
A study examining Fair Workweek laws across five major U.S. jurisdictions finds that labor regulations have made work schedules more predictable for service-sector workers, without triggering wage cuts or benefit reductions. Published in Science Advances, the research titled "Fai

Africa's wildlife laws follow a colonial model that separates people and animals: Why it's
Africa is home to many iconic national parks and marine reserves, such as Virunga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niokolo-Koba in Senegal, Kruger National Park in South Africa and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Many of them were established during the colonial era,
The hidden benefits of privacy regulation
The digital era is characterized by near-frictionless conversion of data into dollars—absent regulatory intervention, that is. Privacy laws such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) restrict corporations' use of personal information. Nonetheless, Stev
Physical laws explain why most flies evolved similar flight, with mosquitoes as outliers
A new study in PLOS Biology of 133 species of flies, mosquitoes and their relatives shows that most species fly in surprisingly similar ways. Physical and aerodynamic laws shape the evolution of their flight behavior more strongly than previously thought. Mosquitoes prove to be a
Stephen Hawking's black hole laws just got a major upgrade
Scientists have developed a new framework that could finally apply the laws of thermodynamics to real, ever-changing black holes instead of only perfectly stable ones. The advance may improve our understanding of black hole mergers, evaporation, and the powerful gravitational wav
Oobleck droplets reveal 5 ways cornstarch 'goo' behaves when hitting water
Cornstarch can thicken soup or serve as a base for a DIY shampoo, but there's more to the humble pantry staple. Given the right conditions, it seems to defy the laws of physics. Mixing cornstarch with water creates "oobleck"—a shape-shifting substance classified as a non-Newtonia
'Silly sprinklers' put in reverse to further unravel decades-old physics puzzle
Each summer, lawns are marked by a familiar addition: "silly sprinklers," whose loops and spirals spew water in creative ways. While seemingly frivolous in their construction, a team of mathematicians has used their design to address a long-standing mystery surrounding the laws o
