| The EU plans to test an AI lie detector at border points Posted: 31 Oct 2018 03:18 PM PDT  Trials for AI lie detection at border patrol checkpoints are set to begin soon in the EU. The program, called iBorderCtrl, will run for six months at four border crossing points in Hungary, Latvia and Greece with countries outside the European Union, as reported by Gizmodo. iBorderCtrl is an EU-funded project that uses AI in order to facilitate faster border crossings for travelers. The system has users fill out an online application and upload some documents, like their passport, before a virtual border guard takes over to ask questions. According to New Scientist, some of these questions include "What's in your suitcase?" and "If you open the suitcase and show me what is inside, will it confirm that your answers were true?" Travelers... |
| On bitcoin’s 10th birthday, JP Morgan CEO says he doesn’t ‘really give a shit’ about it Posted: 31 Oct 2018 03:12 PM PDT  JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon says he doesn't "really give a shit" about bitcoin, his latest harsh comment on the popular cryptocurrency. Dimon spoke out about bitcoin yesterday at an Axios conference, after keeping silent for a period of time following an apology for calling bitcoin a "fraud." Last September, Dimon called out bitcoin in searing comments, added that, "It won't end well. Someone will get killed." But by January, he had backpedalled, saying that he regretted his comments and acknowledging that "the blockchain is real" technology. He kept quiet about the subject until August, when he again declared bitcoin was "a scam." Despite the CEO's negative outlook on bitcoin, JP... |
| CBS is launching a standalone streaming network for entertainment news Posted: 31 Oct 2018 02:47 PM PDT  CBS continues to embrace online video streaming, introducing a second standalone network today that will be dedicated entirely to entertainment news. According to TechCrunch, the new streaming network is called ET Live, and is a project from CBS Interactive and Entertainment Tonight, which is owned by CBS TV. The streaming service is free of charge, but supported by ads — meaning you'll have to sit through ads just like traditional TV. Unlike the Entertainment Tonight television show, which runs for 30 minutes every weekday on CBS, ET Live will carry entertainment news 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This will include "breaking news, celebrity interviews, features, behind-the-scenes and red carpet coverage, plus trends stories across... |
| 10 scary podcasts to listen to in the dark Posted: 31 Oct 2018 02:43 PM PDT  As podcasting has matured as a medium, it's grown to cover almost every genre and style imaginable, from old-school tech talk and true crime, to sci-fi and sobering historical deep dives. It's also proven extraordinarily adept at horror, with both fictional podcasts and real-life tales offering a variety of scares, chills, and unsettling encounters. Much like traditional radio dramas, there's a distinct intimacy to the format, one that allows talented storytellers to unnerve audiences with nothing more than sound. For Halloween, we've collected some of the best and scariest podcasts to grace our smartphones. They might be brand-new shows, or long-running classics, but like a great horror movie or novel, each and every one is practically... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2018 02:23 PM PDT  By now, filmmakers and game designers have jump-scares down to a science. All it takes to really startle an audience is a combination of unsettling music, a protagonist or avatar creeping up on something they probably shouldn't approach, and a big blare of sound and something moving rapidly at the screen. The formula works just about every time, to the point where a painfully clunky horror movie like Rings can get away with startling audiences just by having an umbrella open up on-screen really, really loudly. But good horror — the kind that gets in under the skin and really sticks with you over time — usually has a psychological element, some kind of hook that plays to real, personal fears. The best horror is intelligently constructed,... |
| Alexa will tell you where you can vote and give real-time election updates Posted: 31 Oct 2018 02:18 PM PDT  In the days leading up to the US midterm elections on November 6th, Amazon's Alexa will be able to tell users information about voter registration deadlines, polling information, and give real-time election results. Following the election, Alexa will also be able to give more details on the outcome, including how many seats each party gained, and information on specific candidates. Alexa will be sourcing its replies from a couple of different partners Amazon's teamed up with. In the days before the election, Alexa will be offering information on voter registration deadlines, polling places and times, and ballot information from Ballotpedia, a nonprofit, nonpartisan digital encyclopedia. On Election Day, Alexa will be getting its... |
| Faraday Future’s last founding executive resigns, plans emergency fund for employees Posted: 31 Oct 2018 02:18 PM PDT  Dag Reckhorn, Faraday Future's senior vice president of global manufacturing — and the last of the company's five "founding executives" — resigned Wednesday, according to an internal email obtained by The Verge. The news comes after investor trouble sparked two wild weeks of layoffs and salary cuts that quickly turned into furloughs and executive departures at the EV startup, and a co-founder calling the company "effectively insolvent." Reckhorn said in his email to staff that he is working to establish an emergency fund for employees affected by the furlough. "I am heartbroken to have to let you know, that I will leave FF effective today," Reckhorn wrote in the email, which was sent to the company's remaining staff. "There are... |
| Spotify returns to Roku devices starting today Posted: 31 Oct 2018 01:33 PM PDT  Spotify is returning to Roku's streaming players and Roku TVs beginning today after a fairly long absence from the platform. Devices running Roku OS 9 (which has also just started rolling out) and TVs on OS 8.2 can head to the channel store and download the Spotify app. Aside from simply launching it from the home screen with a remote, the new Spotify for Roku app can also play tunes through Spotify Connect, so you can control playback from other devices like your smartphone. Spotify removed its app from Roku products last December, citing a lack of satisfaction with that version of the software and promising to come back with something better. At the time, the company said "we expect the service to return as a much better overall... |

| The TV reboot of Heathers was doomed from the start Posted: 31 Oct 2018 12:06 PM PDT  Spoilers ahead for the American TV remake of Heathers. It should come as no surprise that the marathon release of Paramount Television's Heathers fell apart. The embattled TV remake of the 1988 film comedy has been delayed repeatedly over the past year, as a wave of school shootings and terrible advance reviews made the show's tongue-in-cheek look at high school violence seem like a public relations disaster. Paramount attempted to sell off the series, then heavily recut it, merging its 10 hourlong episodes into five two-hour segments, and removing large segments of the finale. But the plan for a weeklong Halloween marathon release of the recut edition, starting on October 25th, seemed to be coming together. Then on October 27th, an... |
