| Facebook is ending forced arbitration for sexual harassment complaints Posted: 09 Nov 2018 02:08 PM PST  Facebook will no longer force employees to settle sexual harassment claims in private arbitration, following a similar change at Google yesterday, according to The Wall Street Journal. Facebook reportedly announced the news to employees internally today, and vice president of people Lori Goler told the Journal that it wants to "be part of taking the next step" at "a pivotal moment" in the tech industry. It also announced an updated policy on dating among employees, requiring executives to disclose any romantic relationship with another employee, even if they aren't overseeing that employee's work. Several companies — including Microsoft, Uber, and Lyft — have dropped forced arbitration clauses from sexual harassment claims. But Google's... |
| Tesla releases track mode and a new key fob for the Model 3 Posted: 09 Nov 2018 02:05 PM PST  With major production hurdles looking more like they're in the rearview mirror, Tesla is starting to roll out small updates for the now tens of thousands of Model 3 owners in North America. One of the stranger decisions Tesla made with the lower-cost Model 3 sedan was to give owners just two ways to unlock the car's doors: with a credit card-sized key or with their smartphones. But the company has changed course and, Friday, started selling a $150 Model 3-shaped key fob on its website. (The key fob quickly sold out. We've asked Tesla when they'll be back in stock, and will update when we hear back.) The Model 3 key fob is different from the ones for the Model S and X in more than just its specific shape. It also doesn't allow for... |
| YouTube creators like Shane Dawson, Jake Paul are among SoCal wildfire evacuations Posted: 09 Nov 2018 01:31 PM PST  Thousands of Californians have evacuated their homes in the wake of disastrous wildfires over the past few days, and five have been killed. Among the most recent to leave their homes have been a number of YouTube creators, including Shane Dawson, Jake Paul, and members of FaZe Clan, as the affected region has become a popular place for creators to live and work. There are currently three major fires affecting communities in Northern and Southern California, but the fires affecting some of YouTube's creator communities are the Woolsey and Hill fires, which grew to 8,000 acres between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, according to CNN. Northern Los Angeles suburbs like Calabasas and Thousand Oaks, as well as much of Ventura County,... |
| T-Mobile Mini streaming box leaks in FCC filings Posted: 09 Nov 2018 01:20 PM PST  News of T-Mobile's rumored internet TV service has been circulating since 2017, and a new FCC filing of its set-top box finally hints at an imminent launch. Spotted by Variety, the filing contains a user manual PDF which calls the device the "T-Mobile Mini," and features some photos of the streaming box. The filing was made by Kaonmedia, the company that built set-top boxes for Layer3 TV, a small cable company that was acquired by T-Mobile earlier this year. The back of the device shows HDMI in and out ports to allow connection for additional devices like streaming boxes and game consoles. There's also an Ethernet port and a USB port for software upgrades, but no coaxial port, suggesting that it'll be an internet-only box. The device... |
| Facebook quietly launches a TikTok competitor app called Lasso Posted: 09 Nov 2018 01:13 PM PST  Facebook has quietly released an app called Lasso that lets users create fun, short videos designed to compete with TikTok, the viral 15-second video app that recently merged with Musical.ly. Lasso is Facebook's latest bid to win over teens, which the large social media platform has lost its hold over. In 2018, only half of teens say they still use Facebook, compared to in 2014, when 71 percent of them said they did. The app was first reported as in development in late October. On Lasso, users can record themselves dancing and lip-syncing to music, similar to what they can already do on TikTok. The app also lets users record short clips like Vines. It's available on iOS and Android. Facebook told The Verge: "Lasso is a new standalone app... |
| PayPal is canceling accounts used by the Proud Boys, Gavin McInnes, and antifa groups Posted: 09 Nov 2018 11:50 AM PST  PayPal said today that it will cancel accounts used by far-right group the Proud Boys as well as multiple accounts from anti-fascist groups. The move will make it much harder for the groups to raise money online. The decision is the latest act of "de-platforming" by the tech industry, which has been grappling with how to effectively handle users that promote hateful or violent ideologies. The news was first reported by BuzzFeed News's Blake Montgomery. The ban will include the Proud Boys account as well as an account used by its founder, Gavin McInnes, PayPal said. The company is also canceling accounts for Atlanta Antifa, Antifa Sacramento, and the Anti-Fascist Network. PayPal... |
| Overlord is a gloriously entertaining piece of B-movie schlock Posted: 09 Nov 2018 11:41 AM PST  For some people, labeling a film as a B-movie is a crushing bit of condescension, but for others, it's high praise and an implicit recommendation. Between directing blockbusters like Star Trek and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, J.J. Abrams has spent the last few years eagerly embracing the latter point of view, producing outright B-movies through his company Bad Robot. Beginning with the found-footage monster movie Cloverfield, and continuing on with its spiritual successors 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Cloverfield Paradox, Abrams has used lower-budgeted genre mashups to let new and upcoming filmmakers hone their chops, mostly resulting in some entertaining films. Bad Robot's latest film, Overlord, continues in the exact same vein. The... |
| Giphy launches short video platform following first film festival Posted: 09 Nov 2018 11:09 AM PST  Giphy, the internet's go-to platform for finding the perfect reaction GIF to send colleagues on Slack, soft-launched a new platform today dedicated to short-form video. Giphy isn't exactly Vine, but it's not YouTube, either. It's a site for short-form video (30 seconds or less) that people can upload and watch. Although the platform uses a more traditional form of video than GIFs, it's a foray into the "future of entertainment," according to a press release. "Giphy is now looking to the future — the future of entertainment itself —and believes an important part of this will be micro-entertainment," the release reads. A Giphy representative tells The Verge this is just a soft-launch event to... |
| Internet rallies around VoiceoverPete after he gets booted from Fiverr Posted: 09 Nov 2018 11:08 AM PST  Over the last three months, you might have seen a joke format that asks viewers to help pop culture figures by giving them their credit card number. That meme was the calling card of "VoiceoverPete," an actor who delivers lines with such an impressive command that people were willing to pay him for custom videos — that is, until the website that hosted his services terminated his account for promoting scams. But VoiceoverPete's career didn't die there. Instead, an adoring public has now found a new way to pay Pete thousands of dollars for more memes. By this point, there are many riffs on VoiceoverPete's shtick, but the most famous one has to be a Fortnite video uploaded in October. "Attention all epic gamers," the clip begins. "John... |
