Do you know how technology is changing the way law enforcement agencies operate? Imagine a world in which predictive algorithms can prevent crimes before they happen, where drones and robots can assist police officers in high-risk situations, and where digital evidence is secure through blockchain. There are technological possibilities that law enforcement may not have
A new paper published to arXivLabs demonstrates a novel nanotomography technique that can reliably and non-destructively image nanoscale structures at resolutions of 150nm.
Writing, money, and ledgers, are the three basic building blocks that allowed humanity to progress past the days of foraging for berries and hunting wild game to the advanced global civilization we are today.
Writing allowed us to convey knowledge and information that made it possible to cooperate and build on the findings of others.
Money allowed for the efficient allocation of scarce resources and the facilitation of trade.
Ledgers allowed all these activities and transactions to be recorded so we could trust one another beyond immediate friend groups.
Being able to trust one another is perhaps one of the most important facilitators of economic and social activity. When you perform a transaction you trust that the service you’re getting is what you paid for. When you put your money in a bank, you trust that the bank is a reputable third party to store assets. When you use the internet you trust that your data is secure and won’t be given away to bad actors.

Results of early testing, which Google published in a blog article, indicates audio search is harder to accomplish than it might sound.
Details of these tests are shared in an article penned by Tim Olson, SVP of digital strategic partnerships at KQED.
Google is partnering with KQED in a joint effort to make audio more findable.
With the help of KUNGFU.AI, an AI services provider, Google and KQED ran tests to determine how to transcribe audio in a way that’s fast and error-free.
Here’s what they discovered.
The Difficulties of Audio Search
The greatest obstacle to making audio search a possibility is the fact that audio must be converted to text before it can be searched and sorted.
