What if the kernel is corrupt?

October 1, 2020

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s VC-focused podcast (now on Twitter!), where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week, Alex is on a much-deserved vacation (but not from Twitter, it seems) so Danny Crichton and I chatted through the news and happenings of the week. Somehow we winded our way through the latest tech controversies, gave Chris Wallace a shout out and ended with some funding rounds. I’ll be out next week so don’t miss me too……

Helping companies navigate Covid-19

October 1, 2020

In his new book “The New (Ab)Normal: Reshaping Business and Supply Chain Strategy Beyond Covid-19,” published today, MIT Professor Yossi Sheffi explains how companies grappled with the chaos of the Covid-19 pandemic and how they can survive and thrive as the crisis subsides. Sheffi pays particular attention to supply chains’ role in helping companies manage and recover from the pandemic. “Much has been written about the pandemic, but the book takes a different perspective by showing how the virus……

In Montana, Remote Fire Lookouts Keep a...

October 1, 2020

Low-hanging clouds occlude the mountains of nearby Glacier National Park as Leif Haugen drives his pickup truck down a rugged forest road in the predawn darkness. About 20 or so miles north of Polebridge, Montana, Haugen pulls over, lets his dog Ollie out, swings a pack on to his back, and starts hiking down an old logging road. A mile or so down, he spots a small pile of stones and turns into a thick forest for a 3.5-mile……

The Cider Makers Who Bury Their Booze

October 1, 2020

Don Whitaker, the Cider Maker at Castle Hill, strolls over a grassy knoll in one of Virginia’s oldest historical estates and approaches what looks to be a graveyard. The lower half of a huge, broken urn stands before the entrance of a roped-off gravel square surrounded by mature linden trees, sprawling fields, whitewashed horse fences, apple orchards, and a horizon of Blue Ridge Mountains. “One of the qvevri broke when we were getting them shipped across the Atlantic,” says……

Cancer researchers collaborate, target DNA damage repair...

October 1, 2020

Cancer therapies that target specific molecular defects arising from mutations in tumor cells are currently the focus of much anticancer drug development. However, due to the absence of good targets and to the genetic variation in tumors, platinum-based chemotherapies are still the mainstay in the treatment of many cancers, including those that have a mutated version of the tumor suppressor gene p53. P53 is mutated in a majority of cancers, which enables tumor cells to develop resistance to platinum-based……

The Holocaust-Surviving Violins That Were Quarantined Beneath...

October 1, 2020

In March 2020, as each hour brought updates on the spread of COVID-19 and the looming possibility of lockdown, a group of visitors with rather unfortunate timing appeared in Los Angeles. Dozens of violins from Israel, fresh off a run of concerts in San Francisco, had arrived in town for a series of events—events that were just about to be cancelled. So, like many musicians themselves, these instruments had to spend the next several months in quarantine, emerging only……

Anticipating heart failure with machine learning

October 1, 2020

Every year, roughly one out of eight U.S. deaths is caused at least in part by heart failure. One of acute heart failure’s most common warning signs is excess fluid in the lungs, a condition known as “pulmonary edema.” A patient’s exact level of excess fluid often dictates the doctor’s course of action, but making such determinations is difficult and requires clinicians to rely on subtle features in X-rays that sometimes lead to inconsistent diagnoses and treatment plans. To better……

Eileen Burbidge Contributor Eileen Burbidge is a partner at Passion Capital, an early-stage technology venture fund based in London, and is also the UK Treasury’s Special Envoy for Fintech.

October 1, 2020

Cyprus has an ideal climate for growing grapes, which explains why winemaking is an art on this island. Omodos, a quaint village in the Troödos Mountains, is a fine example: In addition to its vineyards, it is also home to the Omodos Wine Press (Linos tou Charilaou), a stunning medieval artifact. Down the street from Timios Stavros Monastery is a small room filled with medieval winemaking paraphernalia such as vats, cauldrons, various tools, and, at the center, the impressive Omodos Wine……

October 1, 2020

Originally designed to be the companion sculpture to The Fountain of Time in Chicago, Lorado Taft’s Fountain of Creation sculpture was never completed. Instead of the planned 38 figures, only four were finished. They were then given as a gift to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign by Mrs. Ada Taft in 1937. The statues depict the Greek myth of Deucalion and Pyrrha. As the story goes, Zeus wanted to end the Bronze Age with a flood. Prometheus was……

October 1, 2020

Faro della Vittoria (Victory Lighthouse) is a lighthouse on Gretta hill near Trieste, in Italy. With a height of 223 feet (68 meters), it’s one of the tallest lighthouses in the world. It was constructed between 1923 and 1927 to commemorate those who died at sea during World War I. The location was chosen because of the importance of Trieste, acquired by Italy after the war. The lighthouse was designed specifically to be taller than the Berlin Victory Column,……
