Today's Story Highlights

DoJ to Examine Big Tech Competitive Landscape
The DoJ has announced an antitrust probe into big tech, following
several months of rumors that it was about to do so. The DoJ plans to
review how the leading online platforms achieved market power and
whether they have engaged in practices that reduced competition, stifled
innovation, or otherwise harmed consumers. The department will consider
widespread concerns.

Bug in Facebook Messaging App Exposes Kids to Strangers
A flaw in a Facebook app designed for children under 13 years old allows
kids to chat online with people unapproved by their parents. The
messaging app for kids is designed to give parents control over who
their kids text and video chat with online, but a bug in the software
lets a contact approved to chat with one child to talk to another
without the approval of the second child's parents.

Microsoft, OpenAI Shoot for the Stars
Microsoft wants to empower its Azure cloud computing service with yet-
to-exist artificial general intelligence technologies to create new
goals for supercomputing. It has announced a $1B investment through a
partnership with OpenAI to build new AI technologies. The two companies
hope to extend Microsoft Azure's capabilities in large-scale AI systems.

Why We All Need to Learn to Live on Camera
I was struck by a recent video of a soldier who apparently took some
woman's parking spot and then went off the rails when she objected. He
bad-mouthed the U.S. military and the U.S., abused his wife, and put his
child at risk. A decade ago we probably wouldn't have seen this
incident, but now there is a good chance that anyone who misbehaves, as
this guy clearly did, will be caught on camera.

The Path to Interstellar Travel Starts With Looking Up
Earthlings have a natural inclination to gaze at the heavenly bodies.
Many even dream of reaching for the stars. Mae C. Jemison actually is
planning to get humans to other solar systems within the next century.
Her goal is not an idle fancy. She has already been to space and back.
Now her passion is to unite humanity to focus on traveling beyond our
solar system.

Neon: A Wannabe Linux Distro For KDE Lovers
KDE Neon is a bit of an oddball Linux thing. Linuxland has an impressive
collection of oddball things. Neon looks and feels much like a Linux
distribution, but its developers assert quite openly on their website
that Neon is not a real Linux distro. It just installs and functions
like one -- sort of. That can make deciding to use it a little
confusing.
