| FDA approves ketamine-derived depression drug Posted: 05 Mar 2019 07:24 PM PST  The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new depression drug, esketamine, for patients who have not responded to other antidepressants. The treatment, a nasal spray related to the party drug ketamine, will be the first fast-acting depression drug on the market. Unlike most older antidepressants, esketamine (which will be marketed as Spravato) lifts patients' moods within hours where other antidepressants available now can take weeks, if they work at all. The drug, developed by Johnson & Johnson's Janssen subsidiary, is intended to be used with another antidepressant, and only by people who have already tried two and don't feel better. Part of the excitement around... |
| Samsung reportedly planning two more foldable phones Posted: 05 Mar 2019 07:00 PM PST  Samsung is planning two more foldable phones with significantly different designs to the upcoming Galaxy Fold, according to a report in Bloomberg. While the Galaxy Fold has a tablet-sized inner screen that unfolds like a book, one of the new phones reportedly has a large screen that wraps around the outside of the device like Huawei's Mate X, and the other is said to be a vertically-oriented clamshell phone with a smaller external display. The clamshell phone, which sounds similar to Lenovo's potential design for the upcoming foldable Motorola RAZR, is planned for release in late 2019 or early 2020, according to Bloomberg's sources. The Mate X-style device will reportedly follow. The Galaxy Fold is set for release in April, meanwhile,... |
| Uber won’t be charged with fatal self-driving crash, says prosecutor Posted: 05 Mar 2019 04:55 PM PST  Who is criminally liable when a self-driving car fatally strikes a pedestrian? Not the company that built and tested the car — at least not when it comes to Uber's fatal crash in Tempe, Arizona last March, which killed 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg. Uber won't be charged with a crime, according to a letter, first reported on by Quartz, from Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk, the prosecutor who was temporarily in charge of the case. "After a very thorough review of all the evidence presented, this Office has determined that there is no basis for criminal liability for the Uber corporation arising from this matter," reads the document. Originally, the case was being prosecuted by Arizona's Maricopa County, but that department was forced to... |
| Some major Android apps are still sending data directly to Facebook Posted: 05 Mar 2019 04:41 PM PST  Major Android mobile apps from companies including Yelp and Duolingo send data that could be used to personally identify you for ad tracking straight to Facebook immediately upon logging in, according to a new report from the London-based UK charity and watchdog group Privacy International (PI). This data transfer happens even if a user isn't logged into Facebook on that device and even in the event the user doesn't have an active Facebook account at all. In addition to Yelp and Duolingo, PI found that two Muslim prayer apps, as well as a bible app and a job search app called Indeed, also sent similar data to Facebook that could be used to help identify users for ad targeting purposes when they browse the social network. It's not clear... |
| Michael Bloomberg will fight for a carbon-free future instead of the White House Posted: 05 Mar 2019 03:01 PM PST  Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg today announced that he will not run for president, but instead launch a campaign to rid the United States of fossil fuels as quickly as possible. Explaining his reasoning on his eponymous news network's opinion page, Bloomberg said the climate crisis was too urgent to be bogged down by political feuding. "While there would be no higher honor than serving as president, my highest obligation as a citizen is to help the country the best way I can, right now," Bloomberg writes. The announcement quashes speculation that the former mayor would run for president. He explains that he thinks the best way he can help the country is to throw his political capital behind a push to move the country... |
| Former Harley-Davidson engineer starts an all-electric motorcycle company Posted: 05 Mar 2019 03:00 PM PST  Former Harley-Davidson engineer Erik Buell announced this week that he's founded an EV startup called Fuell that will make all-electric motorcycles and bicycles. He's teamed up with Frédéric Vasseur, the owner of the company that makes the chassis for Formula E. Of the dozens of electric motorcycles announced every year, this one seems like it might actually have a shot. Fuell's first product will be an electric-assist bike called Fluid that costs about $3,300. It will have two swappable batteries that combine to give it a 125-mile range, and will come in two versions, one with a top speed of 20 miles per hour, and another that can hit 28 miles per hour. Fluid is supposed to go on sale soon — deliveries could happen by the end of this... |
| ji32k7au4a83 is a surprisingly bad password Posted: 05 Mar 2019 02:56 PM PST  The password "ji32k7au4a83" might look fairly secure thanks to its seemingly random jumble of letters and numbers. But surprisingly, that exact password has appeared in 141 data breaches, as cataloged by the site Have I Been Pwned and spotted by Gizmodo. It leads to the obvious question: how are so many people using this one password? Robert Ou, a hardware and software engineer, first spotted this interesting chain of characters and challenged people to figure out why ji32k7au4a83 is so commonly used. Taiwanese internet users quickly decoded the answer. They noted that on a Taiwanese keyboard with the Zhuyin Fuhao layout, the string spells out 我的密碼, or "wǒ de mìmǎ," which means "my password" in Mandarin. So much for a secure password. |
| RED’s Hydrogen One is arguably a worse deal now that it’s bundled with Aquaman Posted: 05 Mar 2019 02:49 PM PST  I think the hilarity in this image may speak for itself: But I will translate anyhow. If you happen to be the kind of person who's willing to spend $1,295 on one of the least inspiring gadgets we've ever reviewed, an utter mess of a phone — and yet also the kind of person who hasn't already bought one and was miraculously waiting until just now — now is your golden opportunity, your limited-time-only chance to get a free copy of a disappointingly average superhero film that came out last year. A movie that you can already purchase on Blu-ray for $25. Or $30 if you want Blu-Ray 3D. Carpe diem! |
| EV startup NIO abandons plan to make its own cars Posted: 05 Mar 2019 02:18 PM PST  Chinese EV startup NIO no longer plans to make its own cars, the company announced Tuesday. Plans to build a factory in Shanghai — where Tesla is currently constructing the third Gigafactory — have been scuttled, and NIO will instead continue using its current contract manufacturer, state-owned automaker JAC Motors. It's a stark change in direction for the young company, which started making its first car, the ES8 SUV, for the Chinese market last year. NIO also just went public on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2018. The company announced the news in a stock exchange filing, where it shared its full financial results for 2018. NIO generated $720 million in revenue last year, but ultimately lost $1.4 billion, which is about... |
| Former officials urge Trump to stop undermining climate science Posted: 05 Mar 2019 01:27 PM PST  Nearly 60 former leaders in the military and national security community sent a letter today urging President Trump not to subject the government's own authoritative climate reports to an apparently partisan review, The Washington Post reports. The letter references the Post's recent report that the National Security Council may establish a panel of federal scientists to "reassess the government's analysis of climate science and counter conclusions that the continued burning of fossil fuels is harming the planet." If this panel is created, it would represent the White House's latest effort to sow doubt about the scientific consensus around climate change. Scientific research has repeatedly shown that climate change is driven by fossil... |
