| Telegram will launch its Gram cryptocurrency by October 31 or bust Posted: 27 Aug 2019 05:28 PM PDT  Photo by Tom Warren / The Verge Telegram's cryptocurrency— the Gram — may be going public after all. The encrypted messaging app company plans to deliver "the first batches" of the coin in the next two months, according to a report at The New York Times. The last time we reported on the Gram, it was to note that Telegram was canceling its initial coin offering (ICO), so the news may come as a bit of a surprise unless you've been following Telegram and cryptocurrency closely. But if you have, you've probably heard a rumor that Telegram has a hard deadline to make it happen: if it doesn't deliver by October 31st, it legally forfeits the $1.7 billion it raised to make those coins a reality. That October 31st deadline is real, according to legal documents reviewed by the T... |
| SpaceX’s prototype rocket flies to its highest altitude yet during hover test Posted: 27 Aug 2019 03:12 PM PDT  This afternoon, a prototype of SpaceX's next generation rocket took to the skies for a second time in south Texas, reaching a height of a small skyscraper before landing back on Earth. The flight demonstrated the vehicle's ability to take off and land in a controlled manner, and it paves the way for more aggressive testing of the vehicle's design in the months ahead. The test, commonly referred to as a "hop" test, marked the highest flight yet of SpaceX's prototype, nicknamed "Starhopper." Equipped with one main engine, the vehicle flew for the first time on July 25th, but it only got about 60 feet (18 meters) off the ground, and the entire scene was shrouded in plumes of exhaust. Today, Starhopper provided a more impressive sight when... |
| Professors rally behind MIT Media Lab director after Epstein funding scandal Posted: 27 Aug 2019 03:03 PM PDT  A group of prominent academics have signed a letter in support of MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito, as MIT reckons with the revelation that it accepted around $800,000 in funds from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The letter seeks to gather support for Ito, who has apologized for accepting funds from the now-deceased financier. Epstein had a reputation for cultivating relationships with scientists, and funded many scientific projects, including some at MIT. He was also linked to deceased MIT professor and AI pioneer Marvin Minsky, who was recently accused of having sex with one of Epstein's underaged victims. Epstein also gave money to the Media Lab, among other institutions. In the wake of the new charges, Epstein's support... |
| Netflix will release 10 fall films in theaters, well ahead of their streaming debuts Posted: 27 Aug 2019 02:49 PM PDT  After months-long negotiations between Netflix and major theater chains, Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, will get a November 1st theatrical debut before coming to Netflix on November 27th. The film is just one of the latest to highlight the ongoing struggle between Netflix and the traditional film industry, as theater chains like AMC and Regal insist on a 90-day period of exclusivity before movies go to home streaming services. Theaters, which want to attract audiences for as long as possible before they have the option to stream movies at home, are at odds with services like Netflix, which prioritizes using its new content to keep and attract new subscribers. At the same time, Netflix has been a... |
| Hundreds of Uber and Lyft drivers rally in San Francisco for employee protections Posted: 27 Aug 2019 02:37 PM PDT  Photo credit should read JOHANNES EISELE/AFP/Getty Images Hundreds of Uber and Lyft drivers rallied in San Francisco on Tuesday in support of a state bill that would make it more difficult for companies to classify workers as independent contractors. The rally, which convened outside Uber's headquarters on Market Street, was organized by a group called Gig Workers Rising, which is partly supported by labor giant SEIU. The bill in question, AB5, is an outgrowth of a May 2018 decision by the California Supreme Court in favor of workers for a document delivery company called Dynamex Operations West that were seeking employment status. The drivers for the delivery service first brought their case over a decade ago, arguing that they were required to wear the company's uniform and display its logo... |
| Apple releases iOS 13.1 beta before iOS 13 is even out Posted: 27 Aug 2019 12:57 PM PDT  Photo by James Bareham / The Verge We're just two weeks away from September 10th, the day Apple is likely to announce the iPhone 11 to the world — which means there isn't much time to finish its iOS 13 operating system before launch. But what if Apple wasn't actually planning to finish it by then, and will just admit that iOS 13 isn't done? That might explain why today, the company released a beta for iOS 13.1.
It's not a typo; Apple totally just released a beta of the iPhone's operating system that's one-tenth newer than the one you can safely load on an iPhone. Here's the changelog as proof, which you can also peruse at your leisure. 9to5Mac... |
| Fortnite star Ninja signs multi-year apparel deal with Adidas Posted: 27 Aug 2019 12:47 PM PDT  Image: Ninja Fresh off of a well-publicized split from Twitch, streamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins today announced a partnership with Adidas, which the apparel company now tells The Verge is a multi-year deal. There aren't any shoes or apparel for sale right now, but on his Mixer stream, Blevins said, "I can't say specifically what is in the works with Adidas, but use your imagination." Adidas says that the partnership might lead to products "in either the physical or virtual world." Apparel companies signing deals with gaming stars is a relatively new phenomenon. Nike signed a deal earlier this year to make jerseys for the League of Legends Pro League in China, which are expected to debut at the 2019 League of Legends World Championship in Paris in... |
| How to silence Google Assistant responses on your Android phone Posted: 27 Aug 2019 11:58 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge You're sitting in your office and decide to find out when your next appointment is. You pick up your phone and murmur quietly, "OK Google, when's my next appointment?" And then, loud enough to be heard over the entire room, your Google Assistant announces, "Next up, you have an appointment with your urologist on September 3rd at 9AM." You don't have to hide under your desk anymore. Google has now made it possible to silence all Google Assistant voice output and only show the answers to your questions on your phone. Here's how to set it up:

| The first alleged crime committed in space raises questions about jurisdiction in orbit Posted: 27 Aug 2019 11:26 AM PDT  NASA is currently investigating what could be considered the first crime perpetrated in space, after one of the agency's astronauts was accused of illegally accessing her wife's bank account during her stay on the International Space Station. Investigators have yet to decide if the event actually constitutes a crime, but this case does raise questions about how we should handle criminal activity in space in the future. For the last 50 years, the majority of people who have flown to space have been representatives of their nations' governments, such as NASA astronauts or Russian cosmonauts. Typically, these space-bound crew members have exhibited model behavior while in space, without any major conflicts in orbit. Their destinations have... |
| Local governments will soon be able to use Facebook to send emergency alerts Posted: 27 Aug 2019 11:25 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook has long positioned itself as a place where communities can share information during a crisis. Today, the company said it will start giving local governments and first responders the ability to send alerts to their communities during an emergency. Facebook already offers tools like Safety Check, which lets you tell others that you're safe during an emergency, and Community Help, which offers aid during disasters. When a Facebook page operated by a government or first responder marks a post as a local alert, Facebook says it will "greatly amplify" the post to followers of that page in their News Feeds and send the alerts as notifications to them. If you don't follow a page that sends a local alert, the only way you can see it is... |
