Genetic testing company settles with plaintiffs over breach that was revealed when hacker published link to database labeled ‘ashkenazi DNA Data of Celebrities’

The breach, which occurred last October, affected more than 6.9 million customers and included users’ personal details such as their location, name and birthdate, as well as some information about their family trees. That data was shared on BreachForums, an online forum used by cybercriminals.

According to court documents, the data breach was revealed October 6 after a hacker going by the pseudonym Golem, a reference to the Jewish mythical defender made of clay, published a link to a database labeled ashkenazi DNA Data of Celebrities. According to the lawsuit, the hacker referred to the list as the most valuable data you’ll ever see, though most of the names were not famous.

Hemp Batteries Revolutionize Energy Storage https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/hemp-batteries-revolutionize-energy-storage https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/hemp-batteries-revolutionize-energy-storage#respond Mon, 14 Oct 2024 04:22:31 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/hemp-batteries-revolutionize-energy-storage

A recent demonstration by a YouTuber compared the performance of a hemp battery against a lithium-ion battery, and the results were astounding: the hemp battery was eight times more powerful. Tesla’s new million-mile battery, made from lithium-iron phosphate, is designed to last twice as long as conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, even this advanced battery cannot compete with the power and renewability of hemp-based batteries.

Implications for the Future

The development of hemp batteries offers a more sustainable and affordable alternative to lithium-ion and graphene-based batteries. By replacing lithium batteries with hemp, electric cars and other gadgets can become significantly more eco-friendly. The use of a renewable resource like hemp to create powerful and cost-effective batteries has the potential to revolutionize the battery industry, making our world more energy-efficient and sustainable.

Breakthrough from REMspace: First Ever Communication Between People in Dreams https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/breakthrough-from-remspace-first-ever-communication-between-people-in-dreams https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/breakthrough-from-remspace-first-ever-communication-between-people-in-dreams#respond Fri, 11 Oct 2024 00:30:44 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/10/breakthrough-from-remspace-first-ever-communication-between-people-in-dreams

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—()—Researchers at REMspace, a California-based startup, have achieved a historic milestone, demonstrating that lucid dreams could unlock new dimensions of communication and humanity’s potential. Using specially designed equipment, two individuals successfully induced lucid dreams and exchanged a simple message.

Watch the experiment here.

Lucid dreams occur when a person is aware they are dreaming while still in the dream state. This phenomenon happens during REM sleep and has numerous potential applications, from solving physiological problems to learning new skills. In earlier research, REMspace demonstrated that facial electromyography sensors could decode specific sounds made in dreams. This led to the development of Remmyo, a dream language detectable through sensitive sensors.

Scientists develop artificial brain cell using mix of salt and water https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/05/scientists-develop-artificial-brain-cell-using-mix-of-salt-and-water Tue, 21 May 2024 08:22:51 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/05/scientists-develop-artificial-brain-cell-using-mix-of-salt-and-water

In a path-breaking study, researchers have created artificial neurological junctions called synapses using a mix of water and salt, paving the way for the development of advanced computers that mimic the performance of a human brain. The artificial brain cells, developed by the team from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Sogang University in South Korea, use the same water and salt ingredients the brain uses.

The results of the study were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Scientists striving to develop energy efficient and high-performance computers often look up to human brains as a source of inspiration.
