| Grimes is changing her name to the symbol for the speed of light, encouraged by Elon Musk Posted: 19 May 2018 02:01 PM PDT  It's easy to pick up habits from romantic partners. People who are attracted to each other often engage in mirroring, or subconsciously copying each other's gestures and patterns of speech. It's also common for people in relationships to adopt each other's attitudes, behaviors, and hobbies. Personally, it's how I learned to sail, rock climb and develop an appreciation for the finer points of noise music and puppetry. Since the musician Grimes started dating tech mogul Elon Musk, many critics have noted — or complained — that she seems to be mirroring the billionaire CEO behind SpaceX and Tesla in both form and content. In their first appearance as a couple at the Met Gala earlier this month, Grimes wore a choker co-designed by Musk that... |
| 9 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 19 May 2018 10:00 AM PDT  This week was the magical week when advertising executives descend on New York City to hear TV executives tell them about the new series they're working on. The events are kind of strange because as much as they're about business dealings, they're also about putting on a show and impressing people, so TV networks do their best to make them as exciting as possible. There are food and drinks, and often, they'll bring out a few stars to entertain the audience. More importantly for you, it's also the week when TV networks reveal first looks at a lot of the shows they're planning for later in the year. I really enjoy it because the trailers are all extremely awkward: at this point, the networks have only seen a pilot episode from each show,... |
| Google’s Selfish Ledger ideas can also be found in its patent applications Posted: 19 May 2018 09:24 AM PDT  I trust by now we've all seen and been at least a little disturbed by The Selfish Ledger, the nearly 9-minute-long concept video from inside Google's "moonshot factory" X labs. In the wake of it becoming public this week, Google quickly disavowed the video, claiming it was just a thought experiment "not related to any current or future products." And yet, the company's patent applications exhibit a mode of thinking that runs at least in parallel, if not on the exact same tracks, as The Selfish Ledger's total data collection proposal. A reader pointed me in the direction of a Google patent application from 2015, made public last year, titled "Detecting and correcting potential errors in user behavior." A core part of the Selfish Ledger... |
| An Apple sale at Best Buy, discounts on 4K TVs, and wireless headphone deals Posted: 19 May 2018 08:00 AM PDT  With the season of graduations underway, the new grads in your life are preparing for life in the real world. If you're looking for a gift for a new grad, The Verge put together a convenient Graduation Gift Guide with ideas ranging from practical (a financial planner) to fun (a Nintendo Switch). If you're looking for something in between, a nice pair of wireless headphones or a new laptop is sure to make both the graduate and their parents happy. Best Buy is running an Apple Shopping Event with savings of up to $200 on MacBooks, iPads, Apple TVs, and more. The landing page includes full-price items as well as discounted items, which is probably why it's labeled as an "event" instead of a sale, but you can still find some pretty great... |
| China’s first private rocket launch kicks off the country’s commercial space race Posted: 19 May 2018 07:00 AM PDT  China celebrated the country's first rocket launch by a private spaceflight company this week. OneSpace Technologies, based out of Beijing, launched its OS-X rocket from an undisclosed location on a suborbital trajectory on Wednesday, reaching a reported altitude of 25 miles and traveling about 170 miles before falling back to Earth. It's the first demonstration of what the company says will become a scalable business built around sending small satellites into space. Until now, China's space industry has been dominated by the government's space agency, the China National Space Administration (CNSA). The agency has sent satellites, science missions, and even people to space. It has also put robots on the Moon, placed two space stations... |
| HBO’s Fahrenheit 451 turns a warning about media into a tirade against tech trends Posted: 19 May 2018 06:00 AM PDT  Dystopian stories are often described as warnings, but they can also be Rorschach blots. Readers dive in with specific fears — about technology, society, or the future — and find an allegory to validate them. And Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's classic 1953 novel, is a perfectly adaptable cautionary tale. It's an elegant high-concept story backed by a complicated web of broad social complaints, critiquing everything from social justice to the zipper. This might be why it's produced two dramatically different films: one from French auteur François Truffaut in 1966, and the other from 99 Homes director Ramin Bahrani, premiering this weekend on HBO. As many readers likely know, the novel Fahrenheit 451 is set in a future in which books are... |
