The engineers did change the colors on their slide on the left, company says. A Boston-based startup that says it can revolutionize the way engineers can find out what''s sitting underground before they begin large construction projects says it first has to dig itself out of the mess left by some programmers it had hired who allegedly not only stole the company''s ideas and data but destroyed the information before they left to start a competing company. Prezerv Technologies , on Oliver Street downtown, says it hired the programmers to build AI systems to quickly build accurate underground maps based on ground-penetrating radar. Civil engineers often use radar to figure out what pipes and other structures are buried under the land on which they want to put new bridges or roads, but current technologies for finding potential underground obstacles are slow and subject to interpretation. To train the software the programmers were building, Prezerv says it paid to have another company do some 800 miles worth of ground-penetrating radar scans of what lies beneath the streets in Cambridge.

The UK''s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has ordered Meta (Facebook) to sell Giphy, saying the deal "could harm social media users and UK advertisers." It found that the deal would boost Meta''s already prodigious market power by limiting other platforms'' access to Giphy GIFs, "driving more traffic to Facebook owned sites Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram." The CMA said that Meta''s sites dominated social media user time to the tune of 73 percent and that it could further muscle out rivals like TikTok, Twitter and Snapchat by leveraging Giphy. It added that prior to the merger, Giphy launched "innovative advertising services" used by brands like Dunkin'' Donuts and Pepsi that it could have brought to the UK. "Facebook terminated Giphys advertising services at the time of the merger, removing an important source of potential competition," the regulator wrote. "The CMA considers this particularly concerning given that Facebook controls nearly half of the £7 billion display advertising market in the UK." Facebook purchased Giphy in May of 2020, reportedly for $400 million, with the aim of integrating it into Instagram.

Before Facebook decided to rebrand the company as Metaverse, that term was coined by science fiction writer Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel, Snow Crash . Stephenson joins us to discuss the co-opting of his invented term and his latest novel, Termination Shock , which tells the story of one billionaires attempts to solve climate change.
