Introducing Reliability as Code: StackPulse Exits Stealth (Sponsor)

The StackPulse team has worked in stealth this past year to create the world's first reliability platform. Today we're officially announcing our seed and series A funding rounds led by Bessemer Venture Partners and GGV Capital, and launching a whole new web experience. The StackPulse Reliability Platform brings engineering methodologies and code-based automation to incident response and management - helping teams detect, analyze, and remediate service interruptions in ways IT service management tools cannot. Introducing Reliability as Code.

SpaceX announces first “free flyer” human spaceflight (3 minute read)

SpaceX will fly its first all-civilian mission as early as the fourth quarter this year. The Inspiration4 mission was funded by Jared Isaacman, a tech entrepreneur who will serve as commander on the mission. Isaacman intends to use the mission to spread goodwill back on Earth. He will donate $100 million to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, raffling off one of the four seats on the mission to a US citizen who donates at least $10 to the hospital. The crew will need to undergo training before the mission. It is the second announced commercial mission for SpaceX's Crew Dragon.

Wood can easily be turned transparent to make energy-saving windows (2 minute read)

Transparent wood is usually created by removing a structural component of the wood called lignin. A team of researchers has come up with a method of creating transparent wood by modifying the lignin without removing it completely. The technique produces wood that allows more than 90 percent of light to pass through it and is 50 times stronger than wood with the lignin removed. It is lighter and stronger than glass, and it could be potentially used to make a see-through house.

This 'snake robot' can fix pipelines on the ocean floor (3 minute read)

Eelume is a six-meter-long snake-like robot that will make deep-sea oil and gas operations safer, cheaper, and less polluting. It can be kept at a docking station at depths of up to 500 meters for six months, travel up to 20 kilometers between charges, and it has parts that can be swapped out for different tasks. Eelume can work autonomously in confined spaces and send back video and data. The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in 2025. A 3-minute video that features the robot is available in the article.
