| North Korea’s freeze on nuclear testing isn’t a victory — it’s negotiation Posted: 20 Apr 2018 04:55 PM PDT  North Korea will be pressing pause on its nuclear and missile tests this weekend in advance of summits with South Korea's President Moon Jae-in next week and with Donald Trump sometime this spring, Reuters reports. The announcement, via state news agency KCNA, also included plans to shutter its nuclear test site, according to the Washington Post. But that doesn't mean North Korea's getting rid of the nuclear weapons that it has already developed, or that testing is done for good: the test site is still there, and the regime can resume testing when it pleases, says Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS). To make it non-operational, they'd have to fill... |
| The FDA supports a cannabis-derived drug, but it’s still too hard to study pot Posted: 20 Apr 2018 03:11 PM PDT  For the first time, the US Food and Drug Administration has recommended approving a drug derived from cannabis. It's an important step in acknowledging that the plant has a valid medical use, but will mean little without loosening the research restrictions that keep scientists from figuring out the other health effects of cannabis. The drug in question is Epidiolex, used to treat severe forms of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Epidiolex includes cannabidiol (CBD), a chemical that comes from the cannabis plant but is not psychoactive. Researchers have applauded the move, and it looks likely that the drug will be officially approved soon. "This is a very good development, and it basically underscores that... |
| Let this insufferable Q&A at a Westworld panel be a lesson to us all Posted: 20 Apr 2018 03:10 PM PDT  Tribeca hosted a Westworld panel yesterday with an all-star lineup including co-creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, as well as actors Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, and James Marsden. I'm sure the discussion of the upcoming new season was great, but we're actually here to talk about the very end of the panel, when the moderator takes questions from the audience. Audience Q&As, a longtime staple of the panel format, offer attendees the chance to ask thoughtful questions that may have arisen during the discussion they attended. Just kidding! They're actually a nightmare, because anecdotally anyone who's attended panels at any major event — myself included — can tell you that the questions are bad 95 percent of the... |
| Flickr acquired by professional photo hosting service SmugMug Posted: 20 Apr 2018 03:03 PM PDT  Flickr has been bought by professional photo hosting service SmugMug for an undisclosed price, according to a report from USA Today . The fate of Flickr has been up in the air as part of the ongoing decline of Yahoo, which was bought by Verizon last year $4.5 billion dollars and combined with AOL into Oath. Yahoo itself had bought Flickr back in 2005 for $35 million, but never really seemed to know what to do with the service up until the end, even as it tried various redesigns and new services to revive Flickr, it never succeeded in mounting a comeback against more modern alternatives like Instagram. "Flickr has survived through thick-and-thin and is core to the entire fabric of the Internet," SmugMug CEO Don MacAskill told USA Today. ... |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2018 02:08 PM PDT  The US Department of Justice has reportedly opened an antitrust investigation to determine whether AT&T, Verizon, and mobile industry group GSM Association (GSMA) colluded to prevent consumers from easily switching carriers with devices that support eSIM, according to The New York Times. All four major carriers received requests for information about the investigation, according to CNBC. The Times reports that the DOJ "demanded" details from the three over potential steps taken to impede the adoption of eSIM, which lets wireless customers switch carriers without requiring a physical SIM card to be inserted. AT&T and Verizon are accused of working with GSMA to develop standards that would allow them to keep devices locked to their... |
| ZTE says the US export ban will “severely impact” its survival Posted: 20 Apr 2018 01:24 PM PDT  Chinese technology company ZTE issued a statement today in response to the US government's banning of American exports to the company. The US Department of Commerce says ZTE didn't uphold a plea agreement after the company pleaded guilty last year to illegally shipping US equipment to Iran and North Korea. The department specifically says the company still gave employees who acted illegally full bonuses, despite saying it wouldn't. Additionally, only four senior staffers were fired out of the 35 who reportedly violated the law, Reuters reported. Now, four days after the ban, ZTE says it tried to comply with the US and invested "tremendous resources in export compliance." It says, "the Denial Order will not only severely impact the... |
| Dance music star Avicii dead at 28 Posted: 20 Apr 2018 12:40 PM PDT  Swedish-born producer and DJ Avicii, real name Tim Bergling, died Friday, April 20th, 2018, as confirmed by his publicist Diana Baron. His death comes just days after his 2017 EP, Avīci (01), was nominated for a Billboard Music Award for top dance/electronic album. "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii," Baron said in an issued statement. "He was found dead in Muscat, Oman this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th. The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given." Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Bergling initially honed his artistic style as a participant in the Laidback Luke forum, an... |
| Huawei may bring the P20 series to Canada next month Posted: 20 Apr 2018 01:29 PM PDT  Huawei may be effectively banned in the US, but if you're really interested in snagging the impressive P20, the new devices may be coming to neighboring Canada as early as next month. According to Android Central, the Huawei P20, P20 Lite, and P20 Pro will apparently be available through several Canadian telecoms, including Rogers, Bell, Telus, Fido, Virgin Mobile, Koodo, and Vidéotron, on May 17th. Huawei has not confirmed pricing on these devices, but the P20 currently starts at €649 in Europe. Our senior editor Vlad Savov gave the premium P20 Pro high marks on its sleek design, huge battery life, and a camera that could eat the Pixel 2's lunch, especially for low-light photography. While the devices do have the now-ubiquitous notch,... |

| Democratic National Committee sues Russia, WikiLeaks, and the Trump campaign over 2016 hack Posted: 20 Apr 2018 11:22 AM PDT  The Democratic National Committee has accused the Russian Federation, the Trump campaign, WikiLeaks, the hacker Guccifer 2.0, and several others of engineering a conspiracy to leak damaging DNC data. A new lawsuit, which was reported earlier today by The Washington Post, claims its targets violated hacking and racketeering laws, in addition to infringing on copyright and misappropriating trade secrets. It's a sweeping complaint that describes what the DNC calls "an act of previously unimaginable treachery" that "inflicted profound damage" on the organization. The lawsuit alleges that during the 2016 presidential election, President Donald Trump's campaign advisers "formed an agreement" with Russian agents to illegally promote Trump's... |
