| Trump apparently knows what Bitcoin is, and he doesn’t like it Posted: 11 Jul 2019 05:54 PM PDT  President Donald Trump took some time out of his evening to tweet about cryptocurrencies today, announcing to the world that he is "not a fan" of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because their "value is highly volatile and based on thin air." In a series of tweets, Trump expanded on his thoughts on crypto, saying Facebook's newly announced Libra virtual currency "will have little standing or dependability," and that the company should seek a banking charter and be regulated like any other traditional financial institution. Incidentally, that puts Trump on the side of House Democrats, a group of which last week officially asked Facebook to put its Libra plans on hold so it can be properly investigated for risks to the global financial... |
| YouTube drafting ‘creator-on-creator harassment’ rules after Steven Crowder incident Posted: 11 Jul 2019 05:05 PM PDT  YouTube is working on new policies to prevent "creator-on-creator harassment" that it will announce later this year, the company said today. The statement was made by Youtube's chief product officer, Neal Mohan, who briefly spoke about the issue at YouTube's VidCon keynote this evening, where both creators and industry insiders were gathered in Anaheim, California. The news didn't come with any concrete details about what those policies will actually look like, but YouTube said it considers them to be "just as important to the YouTube community as any product launch." "Creator-on-creator harassment" doesn't have a clear definition, but Mohan's... |
| YouTube is adding more ways for creators to make money Posted: 11 Jul 2019 04:30 PM PDT  YouTube is adding more ways for video creators to make money, as the company and its users work toward becoming less reliant on sometimes-uncertain advertising deals. The new features include more subscription options, additional merchandise partners, and another way to receive tips during live streams. Direct monetization features like these, says YouTube's chief product officer, Neal Mohan, have already started bringing in money for "thousands and thousands of channels." In particular, YouTube's Super Chat — a service that allows viewers to pay to pin comments on live streams — has been a growing source of income for creators since its launch in 2017. During a presentation at VidCon today, YouTube announced that more than 90,000... |
| YouTube is launching educational playlists that won’t include algorithmic recommendations Posted: 11 Jul 2019 04:30 PM PDT  YouTube is introducing a new education feature called Learning Playlists that will offer dedicated landing pages for educational videos on a variety of topics, including math, science, music, and language. The playlists will have organizational features, like chapters around key concepts, ordered from beginner to advanced lessons. The pages will also be notably free from recommended videos, letting viewers focus on their lessons without distractions. YouTube has come under fire for its algorithm-driven recommended videos that can sometimes lead viewers toward radicalizing or other troubling content. Though the company has been reluctant to turn off recommendations in the past because it would drive less traffic to other videos, removing... |
| Google defends letting human workers listen to Assistant voice conversations Posted: 11 Jul 2019 03:24 PM PDT  Google is defending its practice of letting human employees, most of which appear to be contract workers located around the globe, listen to audio recordings of conversations between users and its Google Assistant software. The response comes after revelations from Belgian public broadcaster VRT NWS detailed how contract workers in the country sometimes listen to sensitive audio captured by Google Assistant on accident. In a blog post published today, Google says it takes precautions to protect users identities and that it has "a a number of protections in place to prevent" so-called false accepts, which is when Google Assistant activates on a device like a Google Home speaker without the proper wake word having been intentionally... |
| FCC commissioner blasts carriers for failure to fight robocalls Posted: 11 Jul 2019 02:58 PM PDT  Carriers have been slow to address the growing robocall problem, but the Federal Communications Commission may be about to force their hand. In a letter to fourteen US carriers, FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks today called out the confusing and often ineffective options available to consumers for fighting automated spam calls, and threatened regulatory action if the carriers do not improve. "Despite historically clamoring for new tools, it does not appear that all providers have acted with haste to deploy opt-out robocall blocking services," Starks told the carriers. "The Commission spoke clearly: we expect opt-out call blocking services to be offered to consumers for free. Reviewing the substance of these responses, by and large,... |
| Trump to invite social media companies to White House to discuss ‘free speech’ online Posted: 11 Jul 2019 02:54 PM PDT  If anything was discernible from the White House's social media summit today, it was that President Donald Trump intends to bring representatives from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Google to the West Wing to talk about platform bias at some point in the future. When exactly? It's not clear. Right-wing figures and meme creators including Charlie Kirk, James O'Keefe, the pseudonymous Carpe Donktum, and the infamous duo Diamond and Silk, all came to the White House to promote their argument that conservative viewpoints are being censored on social media platforms. For nearly an hour, the president rambled about his follower counts and Twitter engagement. In between the riffing, he announced plans to begin "inviting the... |
| Self-driving shuttle crashed in Las Vegas because manual controls were locked away Posted: 11 Jul 2019 02:32 PM PDT  The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has wrapped up a more than year-long investigation into a low-speed crash between a self-driving shuttle and a delivery truck in Las Vegas on November 8th, 2017. The agency determined two main probable causes for the accident: the truck driver's assumption that the shuttle would move to avoid him, and that the safety operator inside the shuttle didn't have direct access to the manual override controls. That the truck driver was somewhat to blame jives with the immediate descriptions of the crash, which happened on the shuttle's first day of operation. On that day, a Las Vegas government official described the truck grazing the stopped shuttle as it backed into an alley, which is ultimately... |
| Canon is crowdfunding a tiny clippable camera that connects to your phone Posted: 11 Jul 2019 02:02 PM PDT  Canon is turning to Indiegogo to crowdfund the Ivy Rec, a tiny outdoor camera built into a keychain carabiner. It's about the size of a USB flash drive, and it wirelessly connects via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to the companion CanonMini Cam App to show a live preview on your phone. The empty square space of the clip doubles as a viewfinder, and there's a single dial on the back that lets you switch between modes. The Ivy Rec has a 13-megapixel 1/3-inch CMOS sensor that can record 1080p / 60 fps video, and it's waterproof up to 30 minutes for depths of up to three feet. At its retail price of $130, it's slightly more expensive than hoped, but could still be a good option for parents looking to get their kids a starter camera. Canon says the... |
| The first trailer for Netflix’s Another Life looks like Arrival meets Stargate SG-1 Posted: 11 Jul 2019 12:42 PM PDT  Netflix has released a trailer for its upcoming science fiction series Another Life, starring Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff. The 10-episode series premieres on July 25th, and it looks like a fun cross between the first-contact film Arrival and the Syfy Channel's Dark Matter. The series follows Commander Niko Breckinridge (Sackhoff), who's selected to lead a mission to a distant planet after an alien ship touches down on Earth. All the tropes of a "reluctant leader setting off on a dangerous mission"-type of show are present: there are promises to loved ones that she'll be back, forlorn staring out into space, and members of the crew musing about their place in history. Meanwhile, her husband (played by Justin Chatwin) is tasked... |
