China unveils 600 kph superfast maglev train (2 minute read)

China's state-owned train developer CRRC has unveiled a magnetic levitation train that can reach speeds of up to 600 kph. It began development in 2016, with a successful trial run in June last year. The maglev can make the trip from Beijing to Shanghai in three and a half hours, two hours shorter than the time needed for a conventional bullet train to travel the same distance. CRRC exports trains worldwide, but it has yet to release plans for how it will commercialize the maglev.
First Total Artificial Heart Successfully Transplanted In the US (3 minute read)

A 39-year-old man who recently experienced sudden heart failure received a total artificial heart (TAH) from the surgeons at the Duke University Hospital. The TAH was developed by French company CARMAT. It mimics the human heart and gives the recipient more independence after surgery. The patient will have to carry an almost nine-pound bag containing a controller and two battery packs that work for four hours before requiring charging. The TAH is approved for use in Europe and has received primary approvals from the FDA for use in the US.

Apple pushes back return to offices due to rising COVID cases: report (2 minute read)

Apple has extended its deadline for employees returning to the office because of the increase of Covid-19 cases due to the Delta variant. The return to the offices was controversial among some of its employees. Apple has been against the concept of remote work since before the pandemic. Other Silicon Valley giants are starting to give employees more choice in where they do their jobs. Apple employees will be given at least a month's warning before they are required to return to in-person work.
A case against security nihilism (6 minute read)

NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware has been used to target journalists and members of various nations' political opposition parties. Deploying the tool is expensive, and fighting attackers with these levels of resources can be difficult. Apple and Google can raise both the cost and risk of exploitation by improving software security. It is impossible to stop all attacks, but making them expensive and difficult will stop countries with fewer resources from launching exploits.

Hi, I’m Austen Allred, co-founder and CEO of Lambda School, the online coding school where you pay nothing until you land a job, ask me anything! (Completed TLDR AMA)

Hi, I’m Austen Allred, co-founder and CEO of Lambda School, the online coding school where you pay nothing until you land a job. We do this through our income share agreement, a contract where you pay 17% of your post-Lambda School salary for 24 months, but only once you’re making over $50,000/year. For employers, we allow you to hire engineers risk free for 4 weeks, we will pay them during this trial period. Currently, we offer courses in full stack web development, backend development, and data science, but we believe that our model can eventually be applied to many more verticals. Ask me anything about Lambda School, income share agreements, and the future of education!
