All Google phones will now screen robocalls, here’s how to turn it on

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, mobile phones

If you’re tired of robocalls you might want to consider one of Google’s Pixel phones. On Thursday, Google announced that its Call Screen feature, which automatically blocks known robocallers in Google’s database, is rolling out to all Pixel phones this week. It was previously only available on the newest Pixel 3 and Pixel 4 devices. (The original Pixel phone, which launched in 2016, stopped receiving software updates last year, but Google says it’ll still get Call Screen.)

Robocalls may be driving you nuts. According to the YouMail robocall index, which is compiled from the YouMail app that’s built to also block robocalls, there were 4.7 billion robocalls placed in the U.S. in January 2020, or 1,800 a second and 14.4 calls per person. Some U.S. carriers, like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint are working in the background to prevent robocalls, too. Though sometimes they still sneak through or only work on certain phones.

And other companies, like Apple, let you automatically send calls that are received from people who aren’t in your address book right to voicemail. But sometimes you miss an important call from someone, like a doctor whose number you might not have saved.

Beyond Infinity: An Expedition to the Outer Limits of Mathematics

Posted by in categories: mathematics, space

O.o!


A mind-expanding and funny trip to the edge of mathematics

How big is the universe? How many numbers are there? And is infinity + 1 is the same as 1 + infinity? Such questions occur to young children and our greatest minds. And they are all the same question: What is infinity? In Beyond Infinity, Eugenia Cheng takes us on a staggering journey from elemental math to its loftiest abstractions. Along the way, she considers how to use a chessboard to plan a worldwide dinner party, how to make a chicken-sandwich sandwich, and how to create infinite cookies from a finite ball of dough. Beyond Infinity shows how one little symbol holds the biggest idea of all.

O.o.

A collaborative research team from Nova Southeastern University, Florida, California State University, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Porto, Portugal and others published their findings in PNAS.

Too big to write but not too big for Graham

Posted by in category: futurism

Recently, when we were writing our book Numericon, we came across what has now become one of our very favourite numbers: Graham’s number. One of the reasons we love it is that this number is big. Actually, that’s an understatement. Graham’s number is mind-bendingly huge.
