Norway wants to clean up our oceans. Here's how it could work.

Image
Earlier this year, Norway's minister of international development visited Ghana. Minister Nikolai Astrup had a simple request: He wanted to spend some time with his team collecting trash from beaches in the developing nation.  His team assured him that could be arranged. Then he was asked the most telling question of all: Where would they put the trash once it was collected? "That's the point," he responded.  Developing countries like Ghana lack the necessary infrastructure to properly dispose of waste, meaning that trash ultimately ends up in rivers and streams that dump into the ocean.  Now, Norway is trying to change that.  Read more...

10 political podcasts to help you keep your sanity before the midterms

Image
In a time of volatile politics and chaotic news cycles, it can be hard to separate the signal from the noise, to stay informed without getting completely and totally overwhelmed.  Which is why, despite recent talk of a " podcast bubble ," the medium is exactly what we need right now. Podcasts can slow down and really study a topic or event, bringing in the kind of nuance that's too often lacking in our current discourse. SEE ALSO: 15 podcasts guaranteed to tell you a fantastic story Sure, partisan political podcasts — from the Crooked Media/"Pod Save America" crew on the left to Ben Shapiro's show on the right — are still incredibly popular, as are news podcasts that dip into politics, like the New York Times ' " The Daily ."  Read more...

Level up your business skills by taking an online course

Image
Go to business school, they said. It will widen your network, boost your credibility, and enhance your earning potential, they said. While all these things ring true, going to B-school requires shelling out Big Bucks and dedicating a few years of your life to hitting the books, attending classes, and breaking your back completing dissertations — which to some people might seem like a Very Bad Idea™ indeed. If you don't think the MBA route is right for you, there are still a myriad of options available that can aid in enhancing your business skills.

Because Of A Controversial Tweet, Elon Musk Will Step Down As Tesla Chairman And Pay A $20 Million Fine

Image
Getty Image The Elon Musk affair may have turned into the weirdest remake of Reefer Madness. In August the entrepreneur tweeted that he was “considering taking Tesla private at $420.” It may or may not have been a dumb weed joke — 420 is a favorite code in cannabis culture — but the S.E.C. thought it was legit and accused him of misleading investors. Cut to today, and Musk, as per CNN Money , is stepping down as chairman of Tesla and being forced to pay a $20 (not $420) million fine, making Musk’s tweet possibly the most expensive tweet ever tweeted. That doesn’t mean Musk will no longer be the company’s CEO. Under the settlement, Musk “only” has to step down as Chairman; he won’t be allowed to run for the position for three years. Musk went along with the decision, though when the S.E.C. first filed their claim on Thursday , he called it “unjustified.” “I have always taken action in the best interests of truth, transparency and investors,” Musk said Thursday. “Integrity is the mo

A Massive Facebook Breach Let Hackers Access Users’ Tinder, Instagram And Spotify Accounts

Image
Getty Image If you suddenly had to log back into your Facebook account on Friday you may have been one of nearly 50 million people who were impacted by a hack that may have accessed other social media accounts connected to the account. Facebook revealed on Friday that millions of its user accounts were compromised by a security breach earlier in the week, forcing it to implement further security measures to protect the accounts. Many people were logged out of their accounts on Friday and asked to change their passwords and use further security measures. Our investigation is still in its early stages. But it’s clear that attackers exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code that impacted “View As” a feature that lets people see what their own profile looks like to someone else. This allowed them to steal Facebook access tokens which they could then use to take over people’s accounts. Access tokens are the equivalent of digital keys that keep people logged in to Facebook so they
