As we all take a moment to mourn the impending loss of CBS’ hit show “The Big Bang Theory,” let us also bow our heads in memory of the outdated origin theory of our universe that shares the same name. Scientists believe the Big Bang theory (the science one, not the Sheldon Cooper one) may only be partially correct. Sure, it’s how our universe began – but it may have also been part of a grand cosmic circle of life wherein another universe ended. At least, that’s what Roger Penrose and a team of scientists believe. You might remember Penrose…

I cover technology for a living, and I legitimately don’t know what LinkedIn is for. Ostensibly it exists to allow people to move throughout their chosen careers, surfacing enticing job and business opportunities. But that’s bullshit isn’t it? It doesn’t work like that. LinkedIn recruiters, for example, are a perfect example of the dysfunctional nature of the world’s biggest business social network. I saw a LinkedIn post today by someone looking for a candidate with “ideally 5 years experience with Swift”.

Indiegogo’s first foray into the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency has gone awry – but the good thing is that it appears investors will at least get their money back. In an email sent out in July, Indiegogo’s token brokerage partner, MicroVentures, informed investors they will not be receiving tokens – but refunds instead. From the looks of it, the reason for issuing refunds are recent changes in regulation. Hard Fork has since obtained a copy of the message, which you can read below: Thank you for participating in the FCFL pre-sale. If you have been following the crypto and…
