Researchers unveil new method for converting carbon dioxide into jet fuel

Environmentalists have long believed that commercial flying damages the climate with the massive amount of CO2 that passenger jets emit globally; air travel accounts for about 2.5 percent of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions. The problem is rooted in the burning of fossil fuels, a process that essentially takes carbon buried beneath the Earth’s surface and […]

Ride-hailing bias

Researchers find racial discrimination in ‘dynamic pricing’ algorithms used by Uber, Lyft, and others

A preprint study published by researchers at George Washington University presents evidence of social bias in the algorithms ride-sharing startups like Uber, Lyft, and Via use to price fares. In a large-scale fairness analysis of Chicago-area ride-hailing samples — made in conjunction with the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) data — metrics from tens

Looking at Market Researchers and Insight Professionals Through a Human Lens

Looking at Market Researchers and Insight Professionals Through a Human Lens

Tuesday 21 April 2020, 7:00 am One of the trends in business, marketing, and insights (prior to the crisis) was growth in interest in the whole person, i.e. the human. Rather than thinking of customers, voters, viewers, research participants, etc, the trend with HX (Human Experience) is to think about the person, not the transaction.
