How should you set prices for your handmade goods?
Setting prices is a big challenge for any business. If they’re too low, you can’t make a profit; if they’re too high, it can be hard to make a sale. So what goes into a smart pricing strategy? We asked Patrysha Korchinski, a certified small business coach in Whitecourt, Alberta, to share her tips. ReadContinue reading “How should you set prices for your handmade goods?”
FlyZero Unveils Final Hydrogen-Powered Airliner Concepts
The Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) has unveiled three zero-carbon airliner concepts developed under the UK government’s FlyZero project, which aims to support the accelerated introduction of hydrogen-powered aircraft. The three concepts cover the regional, narrowbody and mid-size market sectors. Together they form part of a study that targets zero-carbon emission commercial air travel by theContinue reading “FlyZero Unveils Final Hydrogen-Powered Airliner Concepts”
Demand for ornamental plants is ravaging South Africa’s rare desert flora
Poachers in South Africa raid farmers’ lands for Conophytum, rare succulents coveted by ornamental plant collectors. Confiscated conos, such as these Conophytum comptonii, are kept in secure greenhouses rather than replanted in the wild. Read more…
System: Free, open, and living public resource that aims to explain how anything in the world is connected
Today, System comprises thousands of relationships between hundreds of topics, and counting. As the world becomes increasingly complex and interdependent, our vision is to statistically relate everything as one system. We believe that seeing the whole system will help us all make better decisions — at home, at work, and as a society. Read more…
Are Legendary Music Catalogues Really Worth the Money?
$550 million. That’s the reported amount of money the Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen, commanded when he sold his recorded work and songwriting rights — or, to put it simply, the rights to his entire body of music — in a blockbuster deal last year. The sale was the largest ever for a musician’s catalogue, andContinue reading “Are Legendary Music Catalogues Really Worth the Money?”
Introduction to K-Means Clustering
With massive data volumes growing at exponential rates, we need to find scalable methods to process them and find insights. The world of data entered the Zettabyte era several years ago. What’s a Zettabyte? Well, it is enough storage for 30 billion 4K movies, or 60 billion video games, or 7.5 trillion MP3 songs. Today,Continue reading “Introduction to K-Means Clustering”
NeuralRecon: Real-Time Coherent 3D Reconstruction from Monocular Video
We present a novel framework named NeuralRecon for real-time 3D scene reconstruction from a monocular video. Unlike previous methods that estimate single-view depth maps separately on each key-frame and fuse them later, we propose to directly reconstruct local surfaces represented as sparse TSDF volumes for each video fragment sequentially by a neural network. A learning-basedContinue reading “NeuralRecon: Real-Time Coherent 3D Reconstruction from Monocular Video”

Physicists steer chemical reactions by magnetic fields and quantum interference
Physicists in the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA) have developed a new approach to control the outcome of chemical reactions. This is traditionally done using temperature and chemical catalysts, or more recently with external fields (electric or magnetic fields, or laser beams). Read more…
