Head of NASA’s human exploration program demoted as agency pushes for Moon return

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 06:22 PM PDT

The head of NASA's human exploration program has been replaced within the agency, just months after Vice President Mike Pence challenged NASA to send humans to the Moon within the next five years. The move is the latest in a couple of high-profile executive changes NASA has made in recent months as the agency strives to return humans to the lunar surface.

"As you know, NASA has been given a bold challenge to put the first woman and the next man on the Moon by 2024, with a focus on the ultimate goal of sending humans to Mars," NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine wrote to employees in a memo obtained by The Verge. "In an effort to meet this challenge, I have decided to make leadership changes to the Human Exploration and Operations (HEO)...

Chinese EV startup Seres halts US launch, lays off 90 people in Silicon Valley

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 05:54 PM PDT

Seres, the Chinese EV startup formerly known as SF Motors, is laying off 90 people in its Silicon Valley office, the company announced in a staff meeting held earlier today. The US launch of its first electric SUV, the SF5, is also now on hold, according to a recording of the meeting obtained by The Verge. It had originally planned to make and sell its electric SUVs in both China and the US, with a release slated for later this year.

Around 300 people worked in the Silicon Valley office prior to the layoffs, according to a former employee who was granted anonymity because of a non-disclosure agreement with the company. The layoffs affect multiple parts of the company, including sales, marketing, IT, HR, legal, operations, and design,...

Apple is silently removing Zoom’s web server software from Macs

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 04:12 PM PDT

After all of the drama over Zoom's use of a hidden web server on Macs, Apple itself has decided to step in, TechCrunch reports. It is issuing a silent update — meaning your Mac will get it without any interaction on your part — to remove the web server, which was designed to save Safari users an extra click, from any Mac that has Zoom's software installed.

Although Zoom itself issued an emergency patch yesterday to remove that web server, apparently Apple is concerned that enough users won't update or are unaware of the controversy in the first place that it's issuing its own patch. It makes perfect sense not only because many users may not open Zoom for some time, but also because many of them had uninstalled the app. Before Zoom's...

Former Tesla employee admits uploading Autopilot source code to his iCloud

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 03:27 PM PDT

Guangzhi Cao, a former engineer at Tesla, admitted in a court filing this week that he uploaded zip files containing Autopilot source code to his personal iCloud account in late 2018 while still working for the company. Tesla sued Cao earlier this year for allegedly stealing trade secrets related to Autopilot and bringing them to Chinese EV startup Xiaopeng Motors, also known as Xmotors or XPeng, which is backed by tech giant Alibaba.

Cao denied stealing sensitive information from the automaker in the same filing. His legal team argued he "made extensive efforts to delete and/or remove any such Tesla files prior to his separation from Tesla." Cao is now the "head of perception" at XPeng, where he is "[d]eveloping and delivering...

Bird is making Paris its ‘second home,’ as city cracks down on scooter riding

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 03:01 PM PDT

Bird is planning to build a new hub in Paris and hire 1,000 people over two years to help spur the growth of its scooter-sharing service across the European continent. Bird CEO Travis VanderZanden said the hub will be the Santa Monica-based company's "second European home."

Bird first launched its dockless, electric scooter rental business in Paris last August. Since then, its scooters have become a ubiquitous sight in the City of Lights. The hub will complement Bird's service center in Paris, where employees perform maintenance on the company's fleet of e-scooters.

But the promise to create 1,000 jobs is unlikely to derail the city's effort to clamp...

Google shuts down Nest app for Apple Watch and Wear OS

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 01:53 PM PDT

People take control of their smart thermostat from their wrist so infrequently that Google has decided to completely scrap its Nest app for both Apple Watch and the company's own Wear OS platform. The smartwatch Nest app offered a quick way to adjust the thermostat's target temperature or operating mode. But now it simply displays a "Nest is no longer supported on Wear OS" message when opened and instructs customers to uninstall it.

"We took a look at Nest app users on smartwatches and found that only a small number of people were using it," a Google spokesperson told 9to5Google. "Moving forward our team will spend more time focusing on delivering high quality experiences through mobile apps and voice interactions."

Is this some...

Nintendo is updating the original Switch with a new CPU and storage

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 01:19 PM PDT

Nintendo just announced a smaller, cheaper version of the Switch today, but the Switch Lite may not be the only trick up Nintendo's sleeves — the original Nintendo Switch is also getting a new processor and new flash storage chips, according to filings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The new chips could mean fewer slowdowns, faster load times, longer battery life, less heat... or perhaps none of these things.

Nintendo submitted what's called a "Class II Permission Change" to the FCC, effectively a request to tweak an existing gadget without having to get the whole thing recertified for sale in the United States. And there, it vaguely lays out the changes:

In case you're unaware, "SoC" refers to the...

Android Q gestures are still in flux, even in today’s new beta release

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 11:15 AM PDT

Google has released Beta 5 for Android Q today, and the big change is a confirmation of what we'd already suspected: a tweak to how the back gesture will work. The back gesture will now work differently depending on what app you're in, and Google has finally landed on what it thinks the gesture should be to invoke the Google Assistant.

Let's start with the back gesture. Starting with this beta, swiping in from the left side of the screen with apps that use navigation drawers will cause those drawers to "peek" in to show you that instead of a back gesture, you're opening the drawer. Apps that don't have a drawer will still just go back when you swipe in, and swiping in from the right side will still just take you back.

If you managed to...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 breaks cover in these first ‘official’ leaked photos

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 10:34 AM PDT

If you've been following phone news even a little bit, you know that Samsung's flagship, stylus-equipped Galaxy Note 10 is coming August 7th. You know it'll have 5G, and you even have a decent idea what it looks like thanks to these estimated renders from June. But now, we may be getting our best look at the Galaxy Note 10 — the first official photos of the phone have reportedly leaked out.

The images come from both the typically reliable Roland Quandt at WinFuture and MySmartPrice contributor Ishan Agarwal, so we've got little doubt they're legit. And if so, they reveal that Samsung plans to not only produce the Galaxy Note 10 in black, but also an attractive, shiny blue-purple pearlescent color scheme that's a dead ringer for the...

The Art of Self-Defense functions like a 20-year anniversary remake of Fight Club

Posted: 10 Jul 2019 10:10 AM PDT

In Riley Stearns' new movie The Art of Self-Defense, a lonely, mild-mannered office drone has an experience that forces him to reevaluate his lowly place in a supposedly civilized society. He joins a group with a charismatic leader who encourages a reclamation of traditional masculinity built around boundary-breaking physical conflict. He meets a similarly minded woman and develops an unconventional, not-quite-romantic relationship with her. Eventually, he comes to suspect that the charismatic leader is using dangerous, extremist methods to further a megalomaniacal cause, leading to a final showdown. If this description sounds familiar without knowing anything more about this new film, you may have seen the movie Fight Club, which turns...
