| Google warns its employees that Pride protests are against the company’s code of conduct Posted: 24 Jun 2019 03:03 PM PDT  Employees are allowed to peacefully protest YouTube or Google during the Pride parade — as long as they are not marching with Google in an official capacity. According to internal memos sent to employees, anyone who chooses to walk the parade as a representative of Google and voice any protest will be considered in violation of Google's code of conduct. The discussion came out of a broader conversation among the Gayglers listserv, one of Google's LGBTQ groups, about petitioning San Francisco Pride to remove the company's float from the parade. Some employees planned to march with Google, while also visibly demonstrating against YouTube's recent policy decisions with signs or t-shirts. According to screenshots shared with The Verge, when... |
| Apple doubles planned Seattle expansion to 2,000 employees Posted: 24 Jun 2019 02:51 PM PDT  At a press conference today, Apple and Seattle's mayor, Jenny Durkan, announced that the company would bring 2,000 employees to the city over the next five years. That's double the number of employees Apple had originally planned when it announced Seattle was part of a major US expansion this past December. Apple plans to occupy two 12-story towers, both powered by renewable energy. GeekWire reports that it will total 630,000 square feet of floor space. Apple intends for its Seattle offices to become a "key engineering hub," in the same city that hosts Amazon's HQ. Engineering positions will include "hardware, software technologies, and services," says Kristina Raspe, the VP of global real estate and development for Apple, adding that... |
| Gigi Hadid wants to rewrite copyright law around her Instagram account Posted: 24 Jun 2019 02:50 PM PDT  Model Gigi Hadid believes she should be able to post paparazzi pictures on her Instagram account because her participation in their photos — from posing to choosing her outfit — invalidates a photographer's ownership claims. In a copyright infringement lawsuit filed in January this year, an agency, Xclusive-Lee, alleges that Hadid posted one of its images to her Instagram, which it claims violates the company's copyright. In a motion to dismiss filed earlier this month, as well as a supporting memorandum, Hadid's legal team asserts that her posting the image constituted fair use because she contributed to the photo in the form of a smile and her outfit. The memorandum of support says Hadid didn't infringe on any copyright "because Ms.... |
| Russell T. Davies’ miniseries Years and Years is Black Mirror with a heart Posted: 24 Jun 2019 01:18 PM PDT  The easy pitch for the new HBO / BBC co-production Years and Years might be "What if Black Mirror, but a family drama?" But the more accurate pitch might be "What if Black Mirror, but with a full and beating heart?" That isn't intended as a slam on Charlie Brooker's anthology series about dystopian futures. It's more of an appreciation of what creator Russell T. Davies has been able to achieve with his six-episode limited series, premiering Monday, June 24th on HBO. (Its run on BBC One recently concluded.) Years and Years begins in 2019, with a focus on the complicated intergenerational Lyons clan: Muriel (Anne Reid), her grandchildren Edith (Jessica Hynes), Stephen (Rory Kinnear), Daniel (Russell Tovey), and Rosie (Ruth Madeley), and... |
| Canadian crypto exchange owner allegedly funneled money into secret accounts Posted: 24 Jun 2019 12:47 PM PDT  The founder of Canadian cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX reportedly siphoned money to other accounts without users' knowledge before being reported dead last year. As The Wall Street Journal and CoinDesk report, the exchange's court-appointed monitor released a 70-page report laying out its financial situation. It says founder Gerald Cotten transferred "significant volumes" of currency to personal accounts on rival exchanges, apparently using funds to pay for luxury goods and real estate. QuadrigaCX's site went down early this year, leaving customers out in the cold. The monitor says that QuadrigaCX owes 76,000 users around $215 million CAD (or around $163 million USD), but investigators have only recovered around $33 million.... |
| Bill Gates accidentally makes the case to regulate the hell out of platform companies Posted: 24 Jun 2019 12:14 PM PDT  There's a great video of Bill Gates speaking to a venture capital firm called Village Global going around today, in which Gates says that Microsoft losing mobile to Android is his "greatest mistake ever." "So the greatest mistake ever is whatever mismanagement I engaged in that caused Microsoft not to be what Android is," says Gates, adding "Android is the standard non-Apple phone platform. That was a natural thing for Microsoft to win." This is all true, and you can read a bit more about the circumstances of how Microsoft missed the mobile moment here. But I want to focus on what Gates said next, because it is incredibly relevant to the current conversation about platforms, regulation, and antitrust. Here it is, with my emphasis in... |
| Warner Bros. hires first female CEO in studio history Posted: 24 Jun 2019 11:34 AM PDT  Warner Bros. has hired former BBC executive Ann Sarnoff as its new CEO, marking the first time in studio history that a woman is at the helm of the company. Sarnoff will join John Stankey, CEO of WarnerMedia, as a top executive overseeing content as the company heads into a streaming-heavy future. She's stepping in to replace Kevin Tsujihara, who left the company after a Hollywood Reporter story about using his influence to help Charlotte Kirk's acting career after they began a sexual relationship. Sarnoff is the only woman among a sea of men at the WarnerMedia executive level, including Bob Greenblatt, Jeff Zucker, Kevin Reilly, and Casey Bloys. "Ann has shown the ability to innovate and grow revenues and has embraced the evolution... |
| Apple cites irrelevant Spotify subscription stats in new antitrust defense Posted: 24 Jun 2019 11:30 AM PDT  Apple has filed its response to Spotify's antitrust complaint in Europe, and its answer is essentially that Spotify has greatly exaggerated how much money is being taken by the App Store. Apple says that it's currently taking a 15 percent cut of subscription fees for around 680,000 Spotify subscribers, representing 0.5 percent of Spotify's total subscribers, and that Spotify is not paying a 30 percent cut on anything. The details were first reported by Der Spiegel. The takeaway message is supposed to be that Spotify is blowing its complaint way out of proportion, but those small numbers don't tell the full story — they basically don't matter, because Spotify gave up on App Store subscriptions years ago. |
| Google Nest Hub is $61 today, less than half of its original price Posted: 24 Jun 2019 11:14 AM PDT  Google's Nest Hub is on sale more frequently than not, and today's discount brings it down to its best price ever. Usually $129, it's just $61 (before tax) at Rakuten with the offer code SAVE15 used at checkout. Formerly known as the Google Home Hub, this smart display is worth the cost if you're invested in Google services. As noted in our review, the Nest Hub makes for an excellent digital photo frame if you have a Google Photos library. Amazon's brand-new, freshly reviewed Echo Show 5 is currently its closest competitor in terms of features, and so long as you don't plan to watch YouTube (it's not supported), its $89.99 price isn't bad if you want better audio quality and a camera with a hardware shutter for privacy. Best Buy is... |
| Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs unveils its high-tech ‘city-within-a-city’ plan for Toronto Posted: 24 Jun 2019 11:06 AM PDT  Sidewalk Labs, Alphabet's smart city subsidiary, released its massive plan Monday to transform a slice of Toronto's waterfront into a high-tech utopia. Eighteen months in the making and clocking in at 1,524 pages, the plan represents Alphabet's first, high-stakes effort to realize Alphabet CEO Larry Page's long-held dream of a city within a city to experiment with innovations like self-driving cars, public Wi-Fi, new health care delivery solutions, and other city planning advances that modern technology makes possible. Previously, Sidewalk Labs called it "a neighborhood built from the internet up." But on Monday, Sidewalk Labs CEO Dan Doctoroff went a step further to describe it as "the most innovative district in the world." |
