The ILOVEYOU computer worm. Photo: Sion Touhig/Sygma via Getty Images‘You may not be interested in hacking,” says Scott J. Shapiro, adapting a quote often attributed to Leon Trotsky, “but hacking is interested in you.” Estimates of the losses attributable to cybercrime vary between $600 billion and $6 trillion a year, he continues, citing the former IBM chief executive Ginni Rometty, who has said that if data is “the world’s new natural resource” then cybercrime “is the greatest threat to every profession, every industry, every company in the world.” But Mr. Shapiro isn’t panicking: “Much of what is said about hacking is either wrong, misleading, or exaggerated.”

In this article 57LA-FF Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNTThe world's first commercial solar electric vehicles are hitting the U.S. and European markets in the next few years. German company Sono Motors , Southern California-based Aptera Motors, and Dutch company Lightyear are all producing electric vehicles with integrated solar panels, which can harness the sun's power to provide around 15-45 additional miles on a clear day. This is roughly 15 miles a day, which is perfect for commuters," said Sono Motors co-CEO and co-founder Laurin Hahn. Production of Aptera Motors' solar electric two-seater vehicle is set to begin next year in Carlsbad, California. Its lithium-ion battery gets 390 miles per charge, with an average of 20 or so additional miles from solar, up to nearly 45 miles.

Mounted in the rim of an electric vehicle’s wheels, the motors increase efficiency by delivering power directly to where it’s needed most. Supercars and pickup trucksElaphe, which was founded in 2006 by Gorazd Lampič and quantum physicist Andrej Detela, has designed in-wheel motors for a range of electric vehicles. In-wheel motors are far more exposed to the elements as well as impacts and vibrations from the road. The report notes that as electric vehicles become more popular, automakers are looking towards in-wheel motors for their space-saving abilities and improved power efficiency. Another major player is Protean Electric, which was acquired by British electric vehicle maker Bedeo in 2021.

Five people share how they pivoted from the career paths they were on to pursue their dream jobs. We also teach this community to lobby legislators who ran campaigns on promises made to Black women and Black working class families. My favorite thing about this job is being able to work with women who don't see themselves as politically involved. Courtesy photoI started out wanting to be a working artist, but I became disillusioned with the art world. I love working with young adults, seeing their work and helping them through the art-making process.
