Drata says there’s an easier way to achieve continuous SOC 2 compliance (also ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA and much more). Instead of screenshots, spreadsheets, and endless back-and-forth emails with auditors, Drata offers an autopilot layer that gathers evidence 24/7, with 75+ integrations for the most common SaaS services.
Users seem to be impressed: Drata is the highest rated compliance software on G2. The CISO of Lemonade says: “Drata applies a level of integration and automation that I’ve not seen before. I reviewed a number of players in this space. Drata is the clear winner.”
Twitter engineers have been tasked with creating an updated version of Vine that could launch before the end of the year. The company acquired Vine back in 2012 but shut it down in 2016. Elon Musk tweeted a poll asking if he should bring back Vine and 69.5% of the respondents said yes. A rebooted version of Vine could compete with TikTok.
Facebook is not losing users - it is still adding millions of users around the world, and people aren't leaving the platform. TikTok is only depressing growth on Instagram, not reversing it. Reels is growing and its growth is preventing users from leaving the platform for TikTok. There are still plenty of ads on Facebook, mostly from newer online companies. Meta's spending is necessary and its investments are likely to pay off in the long run.
Researchers have developed an mRNA-based influenza vaccine that could provide years of protection. The vaccine targets four viral proteins that are common across different strains of influenza. It was shown to be effective in mice with no previous contact with the virus. Pre-existing immunity against the flu may impact the quality of the vaccine's antibody response.
Today's nuclear plants use water to capture heat from the fuel. The water is heated to high temperatures and pressurized to prevent it from turning into steam. The high pressure increases the likelihood of a leak, which could result in the fuel overheating. Molten salt remains liquid at temperatures as high as 2,500 F without any pressurization. Replacing water with molten salt could potentially result in cheaper, safer, more reliable, and more efficient nuclear reactors.

Being a developer 30 years ago was great. Systems were smaller so most people could understand them better. It was much more difficult to update things, so developers were more careful about releases. Hardware limitations prevented any work from home, so the work/life balance was better. There were fewer cyberattacks, so security was much less of a concern.
Arc is a browser from The Browser Company that aims to reinvent the browser. It features a sidebar instead of a row of tabs, an app switcher-like function for bookmarks and tabs, search for open tabs, and tools for notetaking and making shareable mini websites. The browser is currently in an invite-only beta. One of the developers working on Arc is Darin Fisher, a software engineer who worked on Netscape Navigator and helped turn it into Firefox. Fisher also spent 16 years working on Chrome and ChromeOS.
More than 50 Tesla employees are working on Elon Musk's Twitter takeover. Most of the employees are software engineers from the Autopilot team. Many people close to Musk are involved with the deal and are tasked with deciding who and what to cut or keep. The Tesla employees are to learn everything about Twitter as quickly as possible so that Musk can redesign the platform. It is unclear how the employees are expected to split their schedules between their normal duties and Twitter.
