Even after multiple leaks and serious Aadhaar security threats, the government officials continue to deny it. Now, Union Minister for Information Technology, Ravi Shankar Prasad, has claimed that Aadhaar data can't be hacked even after a billion attempts. "The system contains my fingerprints and my iris scan, kept in a safe and secure condition which cannot be broken into even with billion efforts", the Union Minister was quoted as saying by Economic Times.

If you're someone like me, who loves to use the dark mode on all apps and websites, there's a possibility that you have been on the lookout for a great extension that can apply a dark theme to anything you view in the browser window. That's where Deluminate comes in handy. Deluminate is a Chrome extension that doesn't simply invert the colors to create a 'high-contrast' mode like other extensions but also offers a ton of customization to the users. It allows you to control readability by adjusting the dimness, while also giving you the option to tweak how images are inverted, if at all. The default 'smart invert images' option worked mighty fine for me but playing around with all the settings for a while will help you find that sweet spot for a dark theme. Check out Deluminate on Chrome Web Store right here

It is believed that the next wave of industrial revolution will be driven by artificial intelligence (AI). But, did you know that there are AI programs that can create other AI without the help of humans? Yes, Google recently introduced what may be the most jaw-dropping AI innovation yet. It's called AutoML - a technology that can utilize neural networks to teach itself. AutoML is a machine-learning software that can help create machine-learning software. With AutoML, Google aims to address the shortage of machine-learning experts who can make the software. Google's early testing of AutoML shows that the technology may be faster and more efficient at writing the layers of code necessary to create machine-learning neural networks that beat humans. Although AutoML is still in its early stages of development, it is believed to have the potential to accelerate the entire field of AI faster than what was ever imaginable.

Everybody uses Facebook for a different reason and in a different way. Some people base their sense of self-worth on how many likes they get, while some use it mainly to keep an eye on their loved ones or a crush. A new study out of Brigham Young has classified people based on different ways they use Facebook. Any of these sound familiar? Silent Creepers: These are the kind of people who are on the platform all the time, but never actually post anything. Yes, they keep lurking and pull out old posts to embarrass you.

Relationship Builders: The relationship builders always try to reinforce their relationship with people they know in the real world, especially family members. Town Criers: We all have those friends who share every fresh political controversy or celebrity gossip.

Underscore is a symbol which we commonly use for showing visual spacing within a sequence of characters, where a whitespace character is not permitted like filename, email address, etc. But, did you know that the symbol was used to underline text on typewriters? Yes, the symbol underscore ( _ ), also called underline, low line or low dash, was originally used on the typewriter to underline words. To produce an underlined word, the word was typed and then the typewriter carriage was moved back to the beginning of the word, and the word was overtyped with the underscore character.
