Join us in overthrowing tech’s patriarchy with TNW’s all-women Answers panel

The state of women-led startups in Europe has never seemed more open — but in many ways, it’s as dire as ever. A recent survey led by Women Who Tech found that 58 percent of women founders across Europe had experienced some form of harassment. This number increases to 75 percent for women of color. To many in the field working to close the gender gap in tech, these numbers are in no way shocking. For a huge number of women, their struggle to success in the startup world is not the pipeline, but funding discrimination. In light of these…

Facebook is developing a singing contest feature to rival musical.ly

If karaoke on the weekends isn’t enough for you to show off your vocals, you might like what Facebook has been caught working on. Researcher and code-breaker Jane Manchum Wong found a code which indicates that Facebook may introduce a ‘Talent Show’ feature where users would make use of Facebook’s recently added music partnerships by recording themselves singing and submitting their audition for review amongst other users on the platform. Currently, it looks like the feature is restricted to Facebook Pages only and users won’t be able to share their videos directly to friends. Facebook is working on Talent Show where users…

This futuristic fitness tracker creates a 3D model of your naked body

The future’s weird. Just when you’re disappointed with the lack of Star Trek-style replicators (come on, scientists), something unexpectedly badass rears its head. You know, like the Naked 3D fitness tracker. Marketed as the world’s first home body scanner, the device comes in two main parts. The first is a rotating scale you stand on and the other is a mirror. Together, the pair of devices creates a three-dimensional model of your body, measures your weight, and monitors your fat percentage. The aim? To help you get in shape. Check out a (somewhat cheesy) video of it in action here: Often,…

Those ridiculous Bird scooters are now in Europe

Bird, the electric scooter rental company that’s worth $2 billion for some reason, is coming to Europe. The first city to be “graced” with Bird’s Scooters is Paris.
