TLDR: The All-In-One 2021 Super-Sized Ethical Hacking Bundle includes 18 courses packed with techniques for spotting hackers and protecting vulnerable systems. Electronic Arts is one of the world’s biggest game publishers, but that doesn’t mean the publisher of Battlefield, FIFA, and The Sims is safe from hackers, who announced theystole source codes and vast stores of user informationrecently. Meanwhile, the U.S. government says they’vesuccessfully recovered most of the ransom moneypaid to Russian hackers who compromised the critical Colonial Pipeline earlier this year....

This massive, scorching exoplanet whips around its sun twice a day This solar system never had much, but they stayed close Orbiting TOI-561, a star residing in thethick diskof our Milky Way, astronomers spotted three previously-unknown exoplanets. This region, surrounding the brighter, inner disk of stars, contains older stars than those in brighter regions of the Milky Way. [Read:How this company leveraged AI to become the Netflix of Finland] “Thick disk stars are chemically distinct, with fewer trace heavy elements (and especially less iron) than typical stars of the Milky Way, suggesting they formed early, approximately 10 billion years ago....

TLDR:In The 2021 Amazon FBA Master Class Bundle, entrepreneur Ryan Ford walks new and experienced sellers alike through the steps of starting a successful Amazon based business. In 2017, Amazon’s share of the ecommerce market was37 percent.

In fact, Amazon’s market share is now expected topass 50 percent this year....

TheResearch Briefis a short take about interesting academic work. The big idea A unique material, nickel oxide demonstrates theability to learn things about its environmentin a way that emulates the most basic learning abilities of animals, as my colleagues and I describe in a new paper. For over half a century, neuroscientists have studied sea slugs to understand basic animal learning. Two fundamental concepts of learning arehabituationandsensitization. Habituation occurs when an organism’s response to a repeated stimulus continuously decreases....

Last week, Google Research held an online workshop on the conceptual understanding of deep learning. The workshop, which featured presentations by award-winning computer scientists and neuroscientists, discussed how new findings indeep learning and neurosciencecan help create better artificial intelligence systems. While all the presentations and discussions were worth watching (and I might revisit them again in the coming weeks), one, in particular, stood out for me: A talk on word representations in the brain by Christos Papadimitriou, professor of computer science at the University of Columbia....
