Today's Story Highlights

Google Hasn't Kept Promise to Stop Bubble-Wrapping Users: Report
Google hasn't released consumers from its filter bubble -- the package
of personalized search results it delivers -- despite having promised to
do so, according to study results from DuckDuckGo. Most participants saw
results unique to them, the researchers found, which could not be
explained by changes in location, time, by being logged into Google, or
by Google testing algorithm changes.

Quora Looks for Answers in Wake of Massive Data Breach
The personal data of some 100 million people who have used Quora, a
popular question and answer website, has been compromised, the company
disclosed. "We recently discovered that some user data was compromised
as a result of unauthorized access to one of our systems by a malicious
third party," wrote Quora CEO Adam D'Angelo in an online post. "We are
working rapidly to investigate the situation."

Deepin Builds a Better Linux Desktop
Deepin 15.8, released last month, is loaded with more efficient layout
tweaks that give the distribution greater functionality and maturity.
Deepin, based in China, shed its Ubuntu base when with the 2015 release
of version 15, which favored Debian Linux. That brought numerous subtle
changes in the code base and software roots. Ubuntu Linux itself is
based on Debian.

AI Meets VR in New Nvidia Tech
Nvidia has announced a breakthrough in 3D rendering research that may
have far-reaching ramifications for future virtual worlds. A team led by
Nvidia VP Bryan Catanzaro discovered a way to use a neural network to
render synthetic 3D environments in real time, using a model trained on
real-world videos. With Nvidia's technology, worlds can be populated
with objects "learned" from video input.
