Spotify shared its Q3 earnings report and it’s positive for a change. The company reported a profit of €65 million for the third quarter and an operating income of €32 million. Those compare nicely with €166 million net loss and €228 operating loss a year prior. Spotify’s paying customers rose 3% over Q2 and 16% over Q3 of last year – this is in spite of Spotify’s subscription price increase in the last quarter. Monthly active users rose to 574 million – up 4% QoQ and 26% YoY. Spotify usually reports losing quarters because it targets user growth over profit.…
Scan data collected from rovers, drones, lidar, etc. is automatically processed through the Scan to BIM pipeline to generate the information desired by the user. This spatial information digitization technology can be used in digital twin-related services that use spatial information. Credit: Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology(KICT) Researchers at the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology have developed building scan to BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based reverse engineering technology required for 3D geospatial information modeling domains such as digital twin information modeling. Scan to BIM-based reverse engineering technology was studied to prevent errors and rework caused…
It was recently reported that I-95, a major highway on the east coast of the US used by tens of thousands of commercial vehicles every day, would be transformed into an electric truck charging corridor in the coming years. This would be a massive win for the industry, which right now sees most commercial electric vehicles using private charging depots, limiting their range of mobility. Having to manage their charging in-house, operators are often faced with a frustrating dilemma. They either have to put all their EV needs in the same basket, using full-stack solutions with a single provider, or…
Apple is expected to spend several billion on hardware to support its artificial intelligence development in 2024, according to speculation from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

In the fine arts, impressions found on terracotta sculptures in museum collections are scarcely reported and not in a systematic manner. In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers present a procedure for scanning fingermarks and toolmarks found on the visible surface and inner walls of a terracotta sculpture using 3D micro Computed Tomography, as well as methods for quantitatively characterizing these impressions. Credit: Dzemila Sero Dzemila Sero, now Migelien Gerritzen Fellow at the Rijksmuseum and former postdoc at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, together with a team of researchers from the Rijksmuseum, Leiden and Cambridge University, examined the…
339 Atlanta-based Rainforest has had a strong first year in business. The platform landed its first customers earlier this year and went on to win the “early-stage category” at Venture Atlanta’s pitch competition in September. It also closed an impressive $11.75 million seed funding round from a mix of local and national investors while growing the team to over 20 people. That growth comes from the fact that Rainforest is solving a really big problem within the software space. Specifically, it is making it possible for software companies to get into embedded payments.
