| Why a New York county banned unvaccinated children from public spaces Posted: 26 Mar 2019 06:10 PM PDT  County officials in measles-wracked Rockland County, NY took the extraordinary step today of banning unvaccinated minors from entering public places. If vaccine-preventable diseases continue to flare up in pockets of unvaccinated people across the country, these types of bans might become the new normal. The ban is part of the county's efforts to curb the spread of measles, which has infected 153 people so far — mostly unvaccinated children under the age of 18. International visitors brought the virus to Rockland starting in September 2018, and the virus spread. Since the Rockland outbreak started, nearly 17,000 people in the county have received measles, mumps, and rubella vaccinations, and unvaccinated children have been banned from... |
| Asus just patched the ShadowHammer malware that was masquerading as a security update Posted: 26 Mar 2019 03:14 PM PDT  That "critical" software update for your Asus computer may have actually been malware, planted by hackers in a targeted attack now known as "ShadowHammer," we learned yesterday. Now, Asus says it has a fix in the form of an actual security update — one that you can download using its Live Update software tool. In addition, the company says it has a second "security diagnostic" tool you can use to scan to see if your computer has been affected. "[W]e encourage users who are still concerned to run it as a precaution," reads part of the company's press release, which includes a link to the software. The company's press release notably does not include an apology, and it downplays the hack, stating that "Only a very small number of specific... |
| Shoshana Zuboff on surveillance capitalism Posted: 26 Mar 2019 03:01 PM PDT  The Age of Surveillance Capitalism author Shoshana Zuboff considers whether "data is the new oil" and explains how data collection has fundamentally changed the economy and how big companies interact with consumers. Shoshana Zuboff breaks down how to define, understand, and fight surveillance capitalism. You can listen to the discussion in its entirety on The Vergecast right now. Below is a lightly edited excerpt from this interview between Shoshana Zuboff and Verge editor-in-cheif Nilay Patel about how surveillance capitalism works. Nilay Patel: So an example of industrial capitalism — which I'm a fan — a company like Ford buys steel on the market. They turn the steel into a car. They sell the car. We're taking one thing, we're... |
| The Apple Card is a perfect example of Apple’s post-iPhone strategy Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:49 PM PDT  Among the most tangible announcements at Apple's services event yesterday was also its most interesting: a credit card, aptly called the Apple Card, with both a physical and digital version that gives you up to 3 percent cash back. The product is, on the surface, a way for Apple to sell its brand on another everyday object you likely already own. But beneath the veneer of a titanium credit card with the Apple logo on it, the company is clearly charting out its post-iPhone future, one in which services reign supreme, by following a formula we've never quite seen it attempt before. In this case, Apple has decided that it needs a traditional product, even one with the dubious moral baggage of a credit card, to promote Apple Pay. While the... |
| Record labels sue Charter for not kicking off music pirates Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:46 PM PDT  Major music labels are suing Charter Communications for not kicking pirates off its service. Late last week, Warner Bros., Sony, Universal Music Group, and several subsidiaries claimed Charter had "knowingly contributed to, and reaped substantial profits from, massive copyright infringement committed by thousands of its subscribers." Specifically, the complaint says Charter received notices that its subscribers were pirating music through BitTorrent and other services, but it refused to terminate their accounts. A similar suit has been filed against Charter subsidiary Bright House Networks. "Charter did not want to lose subscriber revenue by terminating accounts of infringing subscribers," the complaint reads. "Nor did Charter want to... |
| Tesla’s $35,000 Model 3 still isn’t here Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:41 PM PDT  Tesla announced on February 28th that it was finally taking orders for the long-promised $35,000 (or "Standard Range") version of the Model 3, and at the time, the company estimated customers would need to wait about two to four weeks to take delivery. It's now just shy of four weeks later, and it appears the company may not have shipped a single one, while customers who placed orders are being told those cars have been delayed indefinitely, according to new reports in The Drive and Tesla fan blog Electrek. The Drive's Ed Niedermeyer discovered multiple reports on Reddit and various Tesla forums — like the Tesla Motors Club, the Tesla Global Owners Club, even the one on Tesla's own website — where customers have received texts from the... |
| Samsung’s Galaxy A70 has a tall screen and in-display fingerprint sensor Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:35 PM PDT  Samsung's Galaxy A-series of midrange phones now has a higher-end option. It's called the Samsung Galaxy A70, and its teardrop-notched, 6.7-inch display has a 20:9 aspect ratio. Phone screens are getting bigger, and the A70 aims to follow the trend while maintaining a comfortable fit by making this phone taller instead of wider. More screen real estate on the A70 means that more stuff can fit on the screen without the need to scroll. Sony's Xperia 1 and Xperia 10 phones use an even taller, skinnier 21:9 aspect ratio, but Samsung goes with a bigger screen here. The new A70 looks practically identical to the Galaxy A50 that was announced at MWC in February. They both have a triple-lens camera system on their backs. They also both use Super... |
| Don’t change your Twitter birthday to 2007 unless you want to get kicked off for being under 13 Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:23 PM PDT  A viral prank trying to get people to change their Twitter birthdays to 2007 is getting users locked out of the platform for being under 13. The prank tweets tell users that changing the Twitter birthdays on their profiles will do everything from unlocking new color schemes, getting them admin privileges, or even a verified check. It gives me great pain to have to narc on a solid prank, but this won't actually happen. It's become big enough of an issue that Twitter Support has issued a PSA alerting users to the prank.

| Mike Pence tells NASA to accelerate human missions to the Moon ‘by any means necessary’ Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:16 PM PDT  Today at the fifth meeting of the National Space Council, Vice President Mike Pence declared that the Trump administration is committed to sending humans back to the Moon by 2024, four years earlier than NASA's previous target of 2028. Pence, speaking at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, noted that the administration will meet this goal "by any means necessary." He called on NASA to adopt new policies and argued that the space agency would need to embrace "a new mindset that begins with setting bold goals and staying on schedule." To do that, he said the administration may consider ditching some of NASA's current contractors — which are currently developing new vehicles to take humans into deep space — and... |
| Google creates external advisory board to monitor it for unethical AI use Posted: 26 Mar 2019 01:55 PM PDT  Google today announced a new external advisory board to help monitor the company's use of artificial intelligence for ways in which it may violate ethical principles it laid out last summer. The group was announced by Kent Walker, Google's senior vice president of global affairs, and it includes experts on a wide-ranging series of subjects, including mathematics, computer science, engineering, philosophy, public policy, psychology, and even foreign policy. The group will be called the Advanced Technology External Advisory Council, and it appears Google wants it to be seen as a kind of independent watchdog keeping an eye on how it deploys AI in the real world, with a focus on facial recognition and the mitigation of built-in bias in... |
