X marks the spot: Hackers turn hijackers, plus this week’s TEDx Talks

This week, during a computer security conference in Las Vegas, researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller demonstrated how easily they could hack into the systems of moving cars using just a laptop computer. Illustrating that modern devices are worryingly vulnerable to hacking, Valasek and Miller showed their ability to jerk seatbelts, turn wh...

How to give a eulogy that truly celebrates the person you’re honoring

Death is a part of life, and so are the funerals and memorial services held to mark an individual’s passing. But when we’re called upon to speak at these occasions, many of us are at a loss for words. Here are some basic guidelines for writing a eulogy, from palliative specialist BJ Miller and writer Shoshana Berger. When you leave a memorial o...

Walking meetings? 5 surprising thinkers who swore by them

In today’s talk, Nilofer Merchant gives a startling statistic: we’re sitting, on average, for 9.3 hours per day—far more than the 7.7 hours we spend sleeping. “Sitting is so incredibly prevalent, we don’t even question how much we’re doing it,” Merchant says. “In that way, sitting has become the smoking of our generation.” But there are c...

The TED2015 speaker lineup revealed

The phrase “truth or dare” is a false binary -- facing the truth often requires daring action, and vice versa. That’s why, at TED2015: Truth and Dare, the two go hand-in-hand. TED2015 happens March 16-20 in Vancouver and Whistler, and we dare to think this will be the most provocative, invigorating, mind-shifting TED yet. The 58 speakers on o...

Siddharthan Chandran: Can the damaged brain repair itself?

After a traumatic brain injury, it sometimes happens that the brain can repair itself, building new brain cells to replace damaged ones. But the repair doesn't happen quickly enough to allow recovery from degenerative conditions like motor neuron disease (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS). Siddharthan Chandran walks through some new tec...

Steve Miller: From gangster to grace | Steve Miller | TEDxDonovanCorrectional

Bound by the cold concrete and oppressive steel of prison walls, this human cocoon has produced a transformational process from criminal to Christian, achieving self-acceptance and hope. "I describe myself as different in almost every way. I strive to be a student of life and a Man of God, always learning from the things around me. Seeing the...

Steve Miller: The Power of Assumptions

What do you know? We know that one plus one equals two, and three is a prime number. How do we know that’s true? Because it’s what we assume to be true. Our next speaker, Mr. Steve Miller, is a math and computer science teacher as well as our mathematics curriculum leader. He received his bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University...

Laverne Berry, Steve Miller: How to Effect Change With a Couple of Friends

Over the past ten years, we have chosen to take off a few days during each presidential election and travel to new places to work as voter protection volunteers. Doing this has taught us that by donating a little time and effort we’ve been able to effect real change and get a great sense of satisfaction by seeing the immediate impact of our work.
