| Apple lets Telegram iOS update go through following Russia ban debacle Posted: 01 Jun 2018 04:10 PM PDT  Apple has finally approved an updated version of the Telegram iOS app, after the secure messaging company's chief executive complained yesterday that the iPhone maker was blocking updates worldwide due to a Telegram ban in Russia. The news was announced on Twitter by Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. The Russian government first ordered a ban on Telegram back in mid-April, citing Telegram's refusal in an ongoing court battle to hand over encryption keys that would allow the country's Federal Security Service (FSB) access to sensitive user data. The ban has proved troublesome for Telegram, as it's led to the blocking of millions of IPs on Amazon and Google's cloud platforms and requests from the Russia government that American companies, like... |
| Many Visa cards in Europe aren’t working due to a network outage Posted: 01 Jun 2018 02:34 PM PDT  Some users in the UK and other parts of Europe are experiencing problems paying for purchases with Visa cards for several hours now, as first spotted by Bloomberg today. It turns out Visa is experiencing a network failure, with the company now saying it's investigating the issue. The company also confirmed on Twitter that there's a service disruption in Europe. The outage has caused several banks — including the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Bank of Ireland — to issue statements addressing the issue, noting alternative methods of payment that still work, like cash withdrawals through the ATM and Mastercard transactions. Still, in some places, Visa cards are working fine.

| Apple is focusing on its ad sales business because smartphone sales won’t cut it Posted: 01 Jun 2018 01:49 PM PDT  Apple is looking to expand its ad sales business, The Wall Street Journal reports today, which would represent a significant change in the company's business strategy. Until now, Apple has prioritized hardware sales as its main profit driver, but global smartphone sales are waning as people hold on to their expensive devices for longer periods of time. This means there's less money in phones and more of a need for Apple to expand its business beyond hardware. In turn, Apple has reportedly met with Snap, Pinterest, and other companies to gauge interest in an Apple ad network that would distribute ads across all their collective apps on iOS. Apple would share revenue with the apps displaying ads; the amount of that share would vary, the... |
| Disney remixer Pogo can’t walk back his homophobic comments on YouTube Posted: 01 Jun 2018 01:44 PM PDT  Remix artist Nick Bertke, best known online as Pogo, is a musician who turns sounds and songs from Disney films like Alice in Wonderland and Up into dreamy chillwave songs with millions of YouTube views. Last year, he managed to turn Despicable Me into a slick summer jam. But his association with saccharine Disney vibes extends only as far as his music. Earlier this week, a wildly homophobic video surfaced where Bertke states that he views "gays as an abomination" and cheers the 2016 massacre at the gay nightclub Pulse. Faced with immediate backlash, the musician is now trying to walk his statements back, claiming the internet "has taken the video very far out of context and proportion." In the video, which was filmed in 2016, Bertke... |
| Samsung reportedly plans Galaxy Note 9 announcement on August 9th Posted: 01 Jun 2018 01:31 PM PDT  We're still months away from getting to the next burst of 2018 flagship phones, but a report from Bloomberg this afternoon says one of the biggest of those phones may come sooner than expected. The Galaxy Note 9 is on track to be announced on August 9th, two weeks earlier than the Note 8 was announced last year, according to the report. Samsung reportedly intends to release the phone by the end of August. If that happens, it'd give Samsung more of a head start against this year's iPhones. Last year, the Note 8 only went on sale after the iPhone 8 and X had been announced in September, which could have depressed sales by losing would-be buyers to Apple's new tech. Supposedly, Samsung had actually be hoping to announce the Note 9 even... |
| NASA’s Dawn probe is about to get into its closest orbit yet around the dwarf planet Ceres Posted: 01 Jun 2018 01:23 PM PDT  NASA's Dawn spacecraft, which is orbiting around the dwarf planet Ceres in the asteroid belt, is about to get closer to this celestial object than ever before. In early June, Dawn will get to its final orbit around Ceres — an elliptical path that will take the probe 10 times closer to the surface than it's ever been. The spacecraft will collect new, more precise data from this orbit until its fuel runs out sometime this fall. That will bring an end to the Dawn mission, which has been going strong for over a decade now. Launched in 2007, the Dawn spacecraft traveled for years to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, first visiting an asteroid named Vesta in 2011. After orbiting Vesta for a year, the probe then traveled to Ceres,... |
| Steam’s capricious pornography rules hurt small game creators the most Posted: 01 Jun 2018 12:47 PM PDT  Drawing clear lines and definitions around obscenity, pornographic content, and art has always been a complicated business. The current guidance from US Supreme Court on the matter of obscenity is "I know it when I see it," a standard that relies more on intuition than specificity. For online platforms and distributors, it's equally murky territory — and one where ambiguity can have real consequences, particularly for smaller creators. Steam, the largest online distributor of video games on the planet (which puts it in the running for largest distributor, period), is no stranger to these concerns. While nudity is seemingly permitted on the service, pornography is not — a fuzzy distinction that has led to confusion and inconsistent e... |
| Samsung users in the UK will soon be able to video chat with doctors through the Health app Posted: 01 Jun 2018 12:47 PM PDT  Samsung users in the UK will soon be able to get AI-powered medical consultations through preinstalled technology provided by London-based tech company Babylon. Those users will be able to consult doctors through video chat and also look up symptoms through the Samsung Health app, as reported by Financial Times. Interested users will have to pay $67 a year (£50) or $33 (£25) for a single appointment to Samsung, which will share profits with Babylon. Despite the deal, Babylon — which is in the middle of expanding its coverage to Chinese app WeChat and has an agreement with Saudi Arabia's ministry of health — is not a perfect service. Some National Health Service doctors in the UK have accused Babylon of only choosing to serve patients... |
| The 13 enthralling science fiction and fantasy books you need to check out this June Posted: 01 Jun 2018 12:43 PM PDT  I've been writing and editing military science fiction for years. In that time, robots, drones, and artificial intelligence have been slipping onto real-world battlefields. When people think about robots on the battlefield, they often envision something like the Terminator or the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica. But the reality is far more nuanced than pop culture would have us believe. That reality is laid out in Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War by Paul Scharre, who my colleague James Vincent's recently interviewed. I recently picked up Army of None, and Scharre takes readers through how militaries are using autonomous tech in 2018 and the ethical and practical considerations that have cropped up along the way. B... |
| This is how Instagram’s algorithm populates your feed Posted: 01 Jun 2018 12:21 PM PDT  Instagram revealed today how it organizes users' feeds, including how it considers different factors in its algorithm. Up until now, Instagram's feed was sort of a mystery science. Posts from family members and close friends show up near the top, which was the goal of the company's decision to move away from the reverse-chronological feed in 2016, but the way the app filled in the blanks between those close friends was slightly mysterious. Instagram product lead Julian Gutman explained to TechCrunch and other outlets, including The Verge, today that it ranks three main factors when creating users' feeds: interest, recency, and relationship. Interest is how much Instagram thinks you'll care about a post, with the most important obviously... |
