Your young people can become part of a space mission today!

The European Astro Pi Challenge is a collaboration by us and ESA Education. Astro Pi Mission Zero is free, open to all young people up to age 19 from eligible countries*, and it’s designed for beginner coders.

You can support participants easily, whether at home, in the classroom, or in a youth club. Simply sign up as a mentor and let your young people follow the step-by-step instructions we provide (in 19 European languages!) for writing their Mission Zero code online. Young people can complete Mission Zero in around an hour, and they don’t need any previous coding experience.

Mission Zero is the perfect coding activity for parents and their children at home, for STEM or Scouts club leaders and attendees, and for teachers and students who are new to computer programming. You don’t need any special tech for Mission Zero participants. Any computer with a web browser and internet connection works for Mission Zero, because everything is done online.

We need young people to help name the Raspberry Pis we’re sending to space

Mission Zero participants follow our step-by-step instructions to create a simple program that takes a humidity reading on board the ISS and displays it for the astronauts — together with the participants’ own unique messages. And as part of their messages, they can vote for the name of the new hardware for the Astro Pi Challenge, hardware with Raspberry Pi computers at its heart.

The new Astro Pi hardware, which will travel up in a rocket to the ISS on 21 December, is so new that these special augmented computers don’t even have names yet. Participants in Astro Pi Mission Zero get to vote for a name inspired by our list of ten renowned European scientists. Their vote will be part of the message they send to space.

What do your young people want to say in space?

Your young people’s messages to the ISS astronauts can say anything they like (apart from swear words, of course). Maybe they want to send some encouraging words to the astronauts or tell them a joke. They can even design a cool pixel art image to show on the Astro Pi hardware’s display:

Whatever else they code for their Mission Zero entry, they’re supporting the astronauts with their important work on board the ISS. Since Mission Zero participants tell the Astro Pi hardware to read and display the humidity level inside the ISS, they provide helpful information for the astronauts as they go about their tasks.

Their own place in space history

After a participant’s Mission Zero code has run and their message has been shown in the ISS, we’ll send you a special certificate for them so you can commemorate their space mission.

The certificate will feature their name, the exact date and time their code ran, and a world map to mark the place on Earth above which the ISS was while their message was visible up there in space.

10 key things about Astro Pi Mission Zero

  1. It’s young people’s unique chance to be part of a real space mission
  2. Participation is free
  3. Participants send the ISS astronauts their own unique message
  4. This year only, participants can help name the two special Raspberry Pi computers that are travelling up to the ISS
  5. Mission Zero is open to young people up to age 19 who live in eligible countries (more about eligibility here)
  6. It’s a beginners’ coding activity with step-by-step instructions, available in 19 languages
  7. Completing the activity takes about one hour — at home, in the classroom, or in a Scouts or coding club session
  8. The activity can be done online in a web browser on any computer
  9. Participants will receive a special certificate to help celebrate their space mission
  10. Mission Zero is open until 18 March 2022

If you don’t want to let any young people in your life miss out on this amazing opportunity, sign up as their Mission Zero mentor today.


* The European Astro Pi Challenge is run as a collaboration by us at the Raspberry Pi Foundation and ESA Education. That’s why participants need to be from an ESA Member State, or from Slovenia, Canada, Latvia, Lithuania, or Malta, which have agreements with ESA.

If you live elsewhere, it’s possible to partner with Mission Zero mentors and young people in an eligible country. You can work together to support the young people to form international Mission Zero teams that write programs together.

If you live elsewhere and cannot partner with people in an eligible country, Mission Zero is still an awesome and inspiring project for your young people to try out coding. While these young people’s code unfortunately won’t run on the ISS, they will receive a certificate to mark their efforts.

Tile to be acquired by family location sharing service Life360

Tile first arrived by a crowdfunding campaign and popularized the idea of using tags to locate lost items — but recently, it has faced formidable competition from the likes of Apple’s AirTags. Now, Tile has been acquired family tracking company Life360 for $205 million in a move that could give it the resources to better contend with rivals. It will continue to operate with the same branding under current Tile CEO CJ Prober, Life360 announced.

Life360 said the acquisition will help it expand beyond family tracking to letting people “locate the people, pets, and things they love.” It noted that the addition of Life360’s 33 million smartphone users will increase the reach of Tile’s Finding Network by around 10x. 

At the same time, Life360 will gain access to consumers in 27,000 retail stores where Tile trackers are sold. Tile’s technology is also used in over a million third-party devices, ranging from wireless earphones to dog collars. The company will also acquire Tile’s subscribers, boosting its total paid subscriber base by 45 percent to 1.6 million users.

The company emphasized that both Life360 and Tile are “platform agnostic,” working on both iOS and Android. The subtext is that Apple’s AirTags only work on iOS, though Apple does have plans to introduce Android compatibility by year’s end. Last year, Tile filed an EU complaint against Apple for alleged anticompetitive behavior, claiming the iOS 13.5 update made its app harder to use. 

There’s certainly synergy between the companies, as Life360 has operated as a multi-platform ‘Find My Friends’-style service for years. Parents in the US, especially, have used the devices to keep track of their kids — so adding the ability to track objects and gadgets makes a lot of sense.

Apple Users Cancel Spotify Over Lack of HomePod Support

Long-time Slashdot reader tlhIngan writes: We know Spotify has many complaints about Apple, specifically how Apple Music competes with Spotify. This has resulted in many complaints about unfair competition from Spotify, enough to bring about the scrutiny of European regulators. However, it appears Spotify might be the architect of their own complaints, from not supporting AirPlay 2 (which they rapidly backtracked on due to customer complaints), to now, not supporting the HomePod natively.

Apple introduced third-party support for the HomePod, which allows the speaker to natively play audio from streaming services without requiring an iOS device. Most notably, when the list of providers supporting the feature was announced by Apple, Spotify was conspicuously absent. Now Apple users are demanding Spotify add support for HomePod or they are switching to Apple Music.

Dodge to phase out its Challenger and Charger muscle cars in shift towards EVs

Dodge is phasing out its gas-powered Charger and Challenger muscle cars by 2024 in favor of electric muscle cars, Motor Trend has reported. The company plans to introduce its first concept EV by 2022, followed by a plug-in hybrid and a third type of unknown vehicle. That follows Dodge’s announcement in July that it would introduce its first “eMuscle” car by 2024, promising it will “tear up the streets, not the planet.” 

At the time, the company and its parent Stellantis didn’t say what would happen to its internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, but it has now clarified that. “These cars that you know today will go out of production by the time we get to 2024,” Dodge Brand CEO Tim Kuniskis told Motor Trend in an interview.

I’m juggling knives because I’ve gotta keep two different huge factions happy because at some point those two factions will converge.

The new electric vehicles may use the ’60s triangular Fratzog name and logo to differentiate them. The first concept arriving in 2022 will be an electric muscle car, revealed in the next four or five months as a high-performance, drivable vehicle. The next model, a plug-in hybrid, will be a new car but not a Durango as some expected, according to Kuniskis. The third vehicle is unknown, but will be a “very, very, very, significant car at the end of the year,” he added. 

Diehard muscle car fans might not take the news well, though they can’t deny the superior performance of EVs. Dodge previously advertised the Challenger in “Demon” trim as the quickest 0-100MPH production car in the world, with the rather large caveat that it “excludes non-mass production vehicles [supercars] and hybrids/electric.”

Kuniskis acknowledged that the announcement could create friction. “I’m juggling knives because I’ve gotta keep two different huge factions happy because at some point those two factions will converge,” he said. “The problem is no one knows when they will converge. My job is to provide confidence, over the next 24 months, that we’re gonna do this.”

7 Things You Need to Know Before Investing in Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Crypto Blockchain Currency

Cryptocurrency investing is speculative, and investing in inopportune times can lead to rapid, extreme losses. Considering how volatile the cryptocurrency market is, assets that quickly rise can equally severely decline. Unlike other regulated markets, cryptocurrency’s future regulation is uncertain, making it a risky venture. As an investor, you should acknowledge that cryptocurrency can be here today and gone the next day. This is why you should create a cryptocurrency investing strategy and come up with a risk management plan.

To increase your assets’ value and secure profits with crypto investment, consider staking. Staking allows you to earn an income by letting your crypto participate in the asset’s network. You can also lend your assets into decentralized finance to generate yields. Below are the things you need to know before investing in cryptocurrency.

1. Beware of transaction charges and other associated charges

The value of cryptocurrencies depends on supply, demand, and market dynamics. It involves certain transaction costs, including trading or exchange fees, which are charged by crypto exchanges for executing a sell or buy transaction. Network fees are the amount paid to cryptocurrency miners for verifying and validating the transactions to be included in the blockchain. Cryptocurrencies are usually stored in digital wallets, making it easy for you to spend or send.

Although most wallets hold cryptocurrencies for free, you’re charged wallet fees for sending or withdrawing them. Depending on how you trade, mine, stake, or exchange, you’ll be taxed. If you only buy and sell cryptocurrencies, you’re taxed a capital gain. For example, make $60,000 profit, 50% of that is taxed in Canada. Depending on the country you’re trading in, find out what percentage of your capital gain is taxable.

2. You should have a financial plan

In the cryptocurrency market, things don’t always go as anticipated. The market is volatile. This is why you should have a financial safeguard in place to keep you afloat when things don’t go as planned. You may also consider diversifying your investment by looking at other well-performing types of cryptocurrencies, so you don’t lose all of your investment at once.

3. Familiarize yourself with different strategies

Investing in cryptocurrencies isn’t about taking chances. There are strategies you should engage in to achieve the desired results. Before putting your money in cryptocurrency, invest in learning the available trading strategies, including day and night trading. Day trading strategies teach you how you can effectively trade your coins for others to make a profit. Night trading strategies teach you how to effectively beat the fluctuating cryptocurrency prizes during the night to prevent losses.

4. Learn to differentiate between bearish and bullish pattern

The bullish pattern is when you can predict an increase in prices depending on government regulations, traders’ activities, and trending news. A bearish pattern forecasts a fall in crypto prices. Paying attention to these patterns will help you know the coins to invest in. however, ensure the predictions you rely on come from trusted sources, most preferably, experts.

5. Invest an amount you aren’t scared to lose

Thanks to the cryptocurrency market’s volatility, it’s wise to invest an amount you’re comfortable losing so that no matter the outcome, you’ll be safe. Consider putting five percent of your investment in volatile markets and the other five percent in more stable assets even if they aren’t as profitable. This ensures that you don’t fall into a financial ditch and end up depressed.

6. Timing is everything

The digital currency world is fast-paced. This is why you need to research and monitor the market before investing. This will help you get more success with your investment. Cryptocurrencies tend to follow a particular price pattern, so observing it helps determine the right time to make a move. Be on the lookout for news of price manipulation, exchange hacks, and fraud as they may affect the crypto prizes.

7. Consider joining an online community for cryptocurrency enthusiasts

The digital currency space is highly volatile and trendy, so things change very fast. This is why you should join an active and robust community of crypto enthusiasts and investors for constant communication. Joining such communities will help you learn about what’s happening in the world of cryptocurrency.

Endnote

Cryptocurrency is the future of money, which is why you should consider investing now. Familiarize yourself with trading strategies available, trade what you aren’t scared of losing, and have a backup plan in place. Diversify your investment plan to be on the safer side. Consider using these tips to learn all you need to know about cryptocurrencies.

What is Software Architecture Development?

Developer Programmer Technology Software

The core components of a software system, as well as their internal interactions, are referred to as software architecture.

Word software and architecture make up the name software architecture. But before that, we must learn the meanings of these two terms: software and architecture. As a result, we will have a better knowledge of what software architecture development really is.

A computer program, often known as software, is a collection of computer instructions or a collection of data that informs the computer how to function and do tasks. Nonexclusive terms like application, script, or program that runs on a device or machine are used to refer to a computer program or software. This program is the polar opposite of computer hardware, which depicts a computer’s physical state. 

On the other hand, a blueprint for a system is also known as software architecture. It establishes communication and coordination methods between components and offers an abstraction for controlling system complexity. As a result, the team will get clear and accurate instructions throughout the application development process, based on the goals to be met.

The following are some points to consider about the role of software architecture as a blueprint.

Blueprint layout is a well-structured solution that meets all technical and operational criteria. Which is why the blueprint must be capable of optimizing generic characteristics like performance and security. This will include a number of crucial choices concerning the organization’s software development process which may have a substantial influence on the end product’s quality, maintenance, performance, and overall success.

Software architecture development

Software architecture is the first design choice made in the software development process. It refers to a collection of pattern-oriented software architecture and technical choices that is constantly changing and interconnected. It aids in the demonstration of cross-cutting characteristics including performance, quality, scalability, maintainability, management, and usability. Also, a software architecture that has already been built can only be changed afterward with tremendous cost and effort. As a result, making a design choice is one of the most crucial and vital steps in a software development process.

It is critical to think through software design carefully before writing your first line of code for successful development. 

Successful software architecture characteristics

The software architecture must be adapted to the remaining components of the software project in order to perform properly. A well-designed software architecture makes it easier for consumers and engineers to understand the system. Project planning, risk analysis, organization, development process, operating procedures, hardware, quality control, and requirements are all important aspects that determine the applicability of software architecture.

Software Architecture’s Evolution

Initially, software architecture design issues were considered at the early phases of development since modifying the program is more difficult later on. The whole software program is broken into smaller functional modules that are loosely connected in a microservices architecture. As a result, working in planned sprints makes it simple to iterate and execute fundamental changes.

However, in the agile development path, where working in increments and iterations is the key criterion, this description falls flat. Microservices and agile development techniques have been introduced, and these two work together to build optimum software architecture.

What Are the Characteristics of a Good Software Architecture?

The following are the qualities that define excellent software architecture:

  • Functionality: This refers to how well the program performs in relation to its intended function.
  • Reliability: A product’s ability to perform as expected under specified circumstances.
  • Usability: This term refers to how easily a software product may be utilized.
  • Processing speed, reaction time, resource usage, throughput, and productivity are all factors to consider when estimating performance.
  • Supportability: The ease with which programmers may move software from one platform to another without making significant modifications.
  • Self-Reliance: The capacity of independent services to work at their best even if one of them is unavailable.

Software Architecture Development Considerations

A software architect must explicitly identify the solution – what he plans to build, based on the concerns of the various user groups that will interact with his product. During the software architecture and development process, they should keep the following in mind:

  • End-user concerns, such as appropriate instinctual behavior, dependability, performance, security, availability, and usability.
  • System administrator requirements, such as intuitive behavior, observation, and administrative tools.
  • Marketer requirements, such as cost, placement in comparison to competing software, marketing time, and competitive features.
  • The developers’ criteria, which include project specifications and a consistent yet basic design approach.
  • The project manager’s expectations, such as budget, timeline, and consistency, as it determines job completion and the most efficient use of available resources.

SAP is launching support for its ABAP programming languages to offer developers the possibility to build more features directly into the S/4HANA Cloud version of its ERP system. Some developers were, however, underwhelmed, saying SAP had failed to back the release with a full spectrum of APIs. They also said a lack of availability on anything but the latest release made it of limited use to many SAP customers.

Cancer Cells Use 'Tiny Tentacles' To Suck Mitochondria Out of Immune Cells

Hmmmmmm shares a report from SciTechDaily: Investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and MIT used the power of nanotechnology to discover a new way that cancer can disarm its would-be cellular attackers by extending out nanoscale tentacles that can reach into an immune cell and pull out its powerpack. Slurping out the immune cell’s mitochondria powers up the cancer cell and depletes the immune cell. The new findings, published in Nature Nanotechnology, could lead to new targets for developing the next generation of immunotherapy against cancer.

To investigate how cancer cells and immune cells interact at the nanoscale level, [corresponding author Shiladitya Sengupta, PhD, and co-director of the Brigham’s Center for Engineered Therapeutics] and colleagues set up experiments in which they co-cultured breast cancer cells and immune cells, such as T cells. Using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, they caught a glimpse of something unusual: Cancer cells and immune cells appeared to be physically connected by tiny tendrils, with widths mostly in the 100-1000 nanometer range. (For comparison, a human hair is approximately 80,000 to 100,000 nanometers). In some cases, the nanotubes came together to form thicker tubes. The team then stained mitochondria — which provide energy for cells — from the T cells with a fluorescent dye and watched as bright green mitochondria were pulled out of the immune cells, through the nanotubes, and into the cancer cells.

“By carefully preserving the cell culture condition and observing intracellular structures, we saw these delicate nanotubes and they were stealing the immune cells’ energy source,” said co-corresponding author Hae Lin Jang, PhD, a principal investigator in the Center for Engineered Therapeutics. “It was very exciting because this kind of behavior had never been observed before in cancer cells. This was a tough project as the nanotubes are fragile and we had to handle the cells very gently to not break them.” The researchers then looked to see what would happen if they prevented the cancer cells from hijacking mitochondria. When they injected an inhibitor of nanotube formation into mouse models used for studying lung cancer and breast cancer, they saw a significant reduction in tumor growth.

TikTok's TV app is now out for more TV devices in the US and Canada

TikTok used Amazon’s Fire TV to test its app for big screens last year, so it came as no surprise that it officially launched its application on the platform earlier this month in the US and Canada. Now, the video-focused social network has expanded the app’s availability and rolled it out to Google TV, other Android TV devices, LG smart TVs and Samsung smart TVs. 

While the app will still play the bite-size videos in their original vertical form — a given, because TikTok clips are shot with mobile users in mind — the service designed it to provide a big-screen viewing experience for the whole family. The elements you see superimposed on the video itself when you visit TikTok on mobile have been rearranged to take advantage of a TV’s bigger display and horizontal orientation. Like its mobile counterpart, the TV app will give you access to the For You and Following feeds if you sign in to your account. You’ll also find a Discover page to find more videos and creators you don’t already follow.

When TikTok announced that it’s testing a TV app on the Fire TV last year, Head of Global Marketing Nick Tran said in a statement:

“People are looking for community right now and TikTok is connecting users to content and people that resonate and are meaningful to them. We’ve been thinking through what the adoption of streaming devices like Fire TV means for connecting with our users and how we can offer them more dynamic experiences, and we feel bringing our content to the TV to some extent is a natural next step.”
