| Apple tells Congress that it has found no sign of microchip tampering Posted: 07 Oct 2018 02:13 PM PDT  Apple, Amazon, and Supermicro each released a forceful denial that their systems were tampered with following the publication of a Bloomberg Businessweek report last week, which alleged that Chinese agents introduced microchips into servers manufactured in the country. In a letter to Congressional officials, Apple reiterated its denial, saying that it has found no sign of tampering. Reuters obtained a letter written by George Stathakopoulos, Apple's Vice President for Information Security, which he sent to the commerce committees for both the US Senate and US House. In it, he says that "Apple's proprietary security tools are continuously scanning for precisely this kind of outbound traffic, as it indicates the existence of malware or... |

| Faraday Future CEO accused of trying to break investor deal after spending $800 million Posted: 07 Oct 2018 11:04 AM PDT  Faraday Future averted disaster at the end of 2017 when it secured a major new investment from the healthcare division of Chinese real estate group Evergrande. But that money — some $800 million — was gone by July, according to a new filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Now, Evergrande is accusing Faraday Future founder and CEO Jia Yueting of trying to back out of the deal, and says it will take "all necessary actions" to protect itself and its shareholders. News of the filing was first reported by Reuters. The Chinese conglomerate says Jia used "manipulating" tactics to persuade the board of directors who oversaw the deal to advance another $700 million. In the meantime, The Verge has learned that Faraday Future has struggled... |
| SpaceX successfully landed its Falcon 9 rocket on the California coast for the first time Posted: 07 Oct 2018 11:00 AM PDT  Update Sunday, October 7th, 10:40PM ET: SpaceX successfully launched and landed its Falcon 9 this evening, marking the 62nd flight of the vehicle. It was also the 12th ground landing for the company, and the first one on the California coast. Original Story: This evening, SpaceX is set to launch a used Falcon 9 rocket from California, a flight that will be followed by one of the company's signature rocket landings. But this time around, SpaceX will attempt to land the vehicle on a concrete landing pad near the launch site — not a drone ship in the ocean. If successful, it'll be the first time that the company does a ground landing on the West Coast. Up until now, all of SpaceX's ground landings have occurred out of Cape Canaveral,... |
| A one-word Turing Test suggests ‘poop’ is what sets us apart from the machines Posted: 07 Oct 2018 10:00 AM PDT  Imagine that you're living in some dystopian future, and you have been accused of being an advanced AI, which is outlawed in this society. The penalty is death, and in order to convince the judge who will decide your fate, you can utter just one word, any word you like from the dictionary, to prove that you're flesh and blood. What word do you choose? It sounds like the setup for a cheesy sci-fi short, but this is actually part of a curious paper from a pair of researchers at MIT on something they call the "Minimal Turing Test." Instead of a machine trying to convince someone they're human through conversation — which was the premise of the original Turing Test, outlined by British scientist Alan Turing in his seminal 1950 paper "C... |
| Neil Gaiman on adapting his and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens for TV Posted: 07 Oct 2018 10:00 AM PDT  At New York Comic Con this weekend, Amazon released the first look at its upcoming miniseries, Good Omens, based on the classic fantasy novel. At a press event, co-creator Neil Gaiman and members of the cast explained their approach to adapting the book for television. The comedic fantasy novel was a collaboration between Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, in which Aziraphale, an angel played by Michael Sheen, and Crowley, a demon played by David Tennant, must collaborate to stop the coming end times. The two have become unlikely friends in the last 6,000 years, and together they've come to like living on Earth, and don't want to see it end. The trailer introduces us to both creatures as Crowley reaches out to Aziraphale to tell... |

| This beautiful data visualization shows what Middle Eastern thinkers discovered long before the West Posted: 07 Oct 2018 08:00 AM PDT  The history of scientific discovery is very focused on the discoveries of the West, so it's wonderful to see this beautiful infographic from Information Is Beautiful, which visualizes what Middle Eastern thinkers discovered before their Western counterparts. Drawing from books about Arab history, as well as Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy and Encyclopedia Britannica, the graphic plots the discoveries of East versus West, by year. For example, almost a thousand years before Copernicus, the Persian scientist Nasīr al-Dīn Tūsī believed that the Sun was the center of the Solar System. And, almost 500 years before Columbus, the Iranian scholar Al-Bīrūni proposed that there was a land to the West — America. Make sure to head over to the... |
| Homeland Security backs Apple and Amazon’s denials of Chinese microchip hack Posted: 07 Oct 2018 07:40 AM PDT  Following last week's bombshell report from Bloomberg Businessweek that claimed that Chinese spies infiltrated commercial servers in the US with hidden microchips, the Department of Homeland Security says that it has "no reason to doubt the statements from the companies named in the story." The statement concurs with what UK cybersecurity officials said on Friday: that they were aware of the reports, but didn't have any reason to doubt Amazon and Apple's forceful denials that their systems were compromised. DHS notes that it is aware of the report, and said that it recently launched several "government-industry initiatives to develop near- and long-term solutions to manage risk posed by the complex challenges of increasingly global... |
| One of Banksy’s paintings self-destructed just after it was auctioned Posted: 07 Oct 2018 07:04 AM PDT  On Friday, auction house Sotheby's sold a painting by British graffiti artist Banksy for $1.4 million. The piece was a copy of one of the artist's most famous works, an image of a girl releasing a red balloon, and moments after it was sold, the painting self-destructed, shredding itself while onlookers watched. In a video, Banksy explained that he had secretly installed a shredder in the frame of the painting, titled "Girl with Balloon," to destroy it if it ever went up for auction. The anonymous artist is known for creating satirical and subversive political art, and by shredding the painting, he essentially turned the auction itself into a work of art, quoting artist Picasso in an Instagram post: "the urge to destroy is also a... |
