Click - The Artificial Intelligence Game by Orkun Duman is a new app from your search

Challenge yourself with a simple game that counters your playing! How to play: Pop as many balloons as you can within a limited time to reach the threshold and unlock the next level! How it works: Click uses machine learning in order to learn how fast the user clicks the next balloon under different circumstances and positions balloons so that it takes longer to click. In other words, the algorithm constructs a model that estimates the time interval between clicks based on several factors (like the proximity of recent points) that are important for understanding the player’s reaction time. Afterwards, the game chooses the points, among others, that give the slowest clicking time estimate, so that the player earns less points during the time limit. The game gets harder as it collects enough data to build a better model and follows changes in your play style by excluding older game data.

How “Stay-or-Pay” Contracts Are Used to Abuse Immigrant Workers

Shiny Lal is a nurse who came to the U.S. from India at the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic. In a new country facing an unprecedented virus, she dedicated herself to the difficult, dangerous work of front-line caregiving to create a better life for her family. But it wasn’t long before her American dream turned into a nightmare. Her employer, MedPro Healthcare Staffing, is among the growing number of companies that force employees to sign “stay-or-pay” contracts. These agreements impose exorbitant fees – routinely in the tens of thousands of dollars – under the guise of recouping training and relocation expenses if a worker leaves their job too soon. In Shiny’s case, the penalty – up to $40,000 plus MedPro’s enforcement costs – was triggered if she spent fewer than three years working for the company. MedPro placed Shiny in a small-town hospital in Kentucky where she was underpaid and struggled with an abusive supervisor. Shiny begged MedPro for a reassignment, but nothing changed. A...

The Supreme Court Declined a Protestors' Rights Case. Here's What You Need to Know.

The Supreme Court recently declined to hear a case, Mckesson v. Doe , that could have affirmed that the First Amendment protects protest organizers from being held liable for illegal actions committed by others present that organizers did not direct or intend. The high court’s decision to not hear the case at this time left in place an opinion by the Fifth Circuit, which covers Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, that said a protest organizer could be liable for the independent, violent actions of others based on nothing more than a showing of negligence. Across the country, many people have expressed concern about how the Supreme Court’s decision not to review, or hear, the case at this stage could impact the right to protest. The ACLU, which asked the court to take up the case, breaks down what the court’s denial of review means. What Happened in Mckesson v. Doe? The case, Mckesson v. Doe , was brought by a police officer against DeRay Mckesson , a prominent civil rights activi...

Exploring the Metaverse

The Metaverse is a persistent online digital world. There is no agreed definition of what a metaverse is. There are many definitions, and many are speculative about technology that is still being developed. Generally, people agree that a metaverse is an online digital world populated with other users. Each user has a unique digital representation called an 'avatar'. Users use their avatars to interact with the metaverse and with other users. The goal is often to provide an experience that is as immersive as possible. This means that the goal is to make users feel like they are actually in the digital world, also known as the feeling of 'presence'. Most definitions agree that the key characteristic of a metaverse is its interactivity. The interactive elements are more important than the graphical quality of the experience. However, the graphics are still an important aspect of the metaverse, and advancements in technology are constantly improving these. Some people b...
