| Faraday Future CEO’s long trail of debt is finally catching up to him Posted: 08 Dec 2018 12:00 PM PST  Jia Yueting, the CEO and a co-founder of troubled EV startup Faraday Future, has a notorious history with money. While his rise to fame and fortune in China was built partly around his vision — he started a streaming company in 2004 called LeTV, well before Netflix shifted away from DVDs — it was also built on financial debt. For years, he followed a relatively simple formula. He found success with LeTV, borrowed against that success to try new things under the umbrella of "LeEco," then borrowed against those ventures to do even more, stacking up debt along the way. With China's economy booming at the time, and a large shadow banking system emerging that made borrowing easy, he was off to the races. More than a decade later, Jia finds h... |
| The FBI is now investigating fake anti-net neutrality comments Posted: 08 Dec 2018 11:52 AM PST  The federal government is now looking into faked comments posted to the FCC's website during last year's public comment period on the agency's plans to roll back net neutrality internet protections. According to Buzzfeed News, the FBI has launched an investigation to determine if any laws were broken. In May 2017, the FCC began accepting comments from the general public regarding its plans, pulling in more than 2.6 million comments, spurred on by television personalities like John Oliver. The agency was inundated with tens of thousands of near-identical comments advocating for the removal of the protections (a study later found that unique comments were overwhelmingly asking for the rules to be left in place), and while those comments... |
| When algorithms go wrong we need more power to fight back, say AI researchers Posted: 08 Dec 2018 11:00 AM PST  Governments and private companies are deploying AI systems at a rapid pace, but the public lacks the tools to hold these systems accountable when they fail. That's one of the major conclusions in a new report issued by AI Now, a research group home to employees from tech companies like Microsoft and Google and affiliated with New York University. The report examines the social challenges of AI and algorithmic systems, homing in on what researchers call "the accountability gap" as this technology is integrated "across core social domains." They put forward ten recommendations, including calling for government regulation of facial recognition (something Microsoft president Brad Smith also advocated for this week) and... |
| The Black Mirror card game isn’t soul-crushing enough to reflect the show Posted: 08 Dec 2018 10:00 AM PST  As the entertainment year winds down, Black Mirror fans are watching Netflix suspiciously, hoping for announcements about the fifth season of the technological-terrors show. Back in October, a Bloomberg report claimed that new episodes would arrive in 2018, including an interactive choose-your-own-adventure episode. (Reached for response to the unsourced report, Netflix immediately sent back a cheeky choose-your-own-press-statement email.) And a few days ago, a hastily deleted tweet appeared to leak a release date of December 28th for at least one new Black Mirror episode. But there's been no official word about what season 5 might look like. Interactive fans now have a new way to vicariously experience Black Mirror, though: Asmodee... |
| Netflix will release a new Ghost in the Shell anime in 2020 Posted: 08 Dec 2018 09:01 AM PST  When it comes to anime, Netflix has been on a tear recently. In November, the streaming service announced that it was creating a live-action version of Cowboy Bebop, new shows set in the worlds of Pacific Rim and Altered Carbon, and that it was bringing Neon Genesis Evangelion to subscribers. Now, another classic is coming: Ghost in the Shell. As spotted by io9, Netflix announced that a new Ghost in the Shell anime is coming — Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 which will be directed by Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed), and Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex). Netflix doesn't reveal any additional details, other than to say that it will be released sometime in 2020.

| 9 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 08 Dec 2018 08:00 AM PST  Sometimes when I'm watching a movie, I'll start re-directing it in my head, thinking about how I would have done something differently, or if I would have never even conceived the idea of doing it the way the director did, whether that be good or bad. Most recently, I was thrown big time when watching the opening scene to Quiz Show, Robert Redford's 1994 movie about a rigged TV game show. The movie is kind of nice and kind of boring, and the opening scene melds both of those things together so exceptionally well that I can't tell if it's genius or terrible. The film opens on a shopper and a car salesman, with the film slowly dissolving between the two of them and the car. It's lethargic, it's wistful, and there are all kinds of strange... |
| Two unlikely cops are paired up to solve murders in a war-torn Tokyo in Ninth Step Station Posted: 08 Dec 2018 07:00 AM PST  In the near future of Ninth Step Station, Tokyo experiences a massive disaster that leaves it in shambles, desperate for international aid. The country is divided up by the world's major powers, each patrolling their respective sector borders with drones and peacekeepers. In this environment, US Navy Lieutenant Emma Hiagashi and a local police officer named Miyako Koreda are partnered up to work on a string of murders across the city. Their adventures will be told in an 11-part series from storytelling startup Serial Box, which has lined up an impressive team of writers like Malka Older, Fran Wilde, Jacqueline Koyanagi, and Curtis C. Chen. Serial Box isn't a traditional publisher. Its approach to fiction is to tell a long-form written... |
| Stay up late to watch ULA launch a secret satellite with its most powerful rocket Posted: 08 Dec 2018 06:39 AM PST  Tonight, the United Launch Alliance (ULA) is set to launch its most powerful rocket — the Delta IV Heavy — sending up a secret spy satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) from California. The mission will be the 132nd mission for the ULA, and the latest of many launches the company has done for the NRO, a significant customer of the launch provider. As is the case with all NRO launches, it's unclear what's actually going into space; the NRO keeps the purposes of its missions under wraps. However, the satellite is likely pretty heavy and is perhaps going to a high orbit if it requires the power of the Delta IV Heavy. The rocket consists of three cores strapped together, which provide more than 2 million pounds of thrust at... |
| How Alaska fixed its earthquake-shattered roads in just days Posted: 08 Dec 2018 06:03 AM PST  Shaking from the large earthquake that shuddered through Anchorage, Alaska last week was strong enough to turn smooth asphalt roads into broken, jagged depressions of rubble. But within just a few days, crews managed to repair the worst of the damage, unsnarling traffic in Alaska's largest city. Anchorage has a population of nearly 300,000 people spread across more than 1,900 square miles — an area larger than the state of Rhode Island. That space is threaded by roads, asphalt lifelines of the population. When the magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck last week, some of the most visceral images showed roads that had broken apart. But within days, many of these same cracked highways had been smoothed back into ribbons of pavement by crews... |
| How Kevin Hart tweeted himself out of a job hosting the Oscars Posted: 08 Dec 2018 03:00 AM PST  Kevin Hart is a popular comedian and actor who, until Friday morning, was scheduled to be the host of the 2019 Academy Awards. And he still would be the host of the 2019 Academy Awards, had he not violated one of the sacrosanct rules of life online: never tweet. Shortly after he was named host, BuzzFeed's Michael Blackmon reviewed some of the tweets that Hart was frantically deleting:
