| Tesla told to shut down California factory to help fight the coronavirus Posted: 17 Mar 2020 06:19 PM PDT  Photo by Becca Farsace / The Verge Tesla is not exempt from the San Francisco Bay Area's new coronavirus shelter-in-place order, and should suspend normal operations at its Fremont, California factory for three weeks, according to county officials and the local sheriff's office. This comes after Tesla kept its factory open and running today, the first day that the new order was in place. The shelter-in-place order was announced yesterday by the leaders of six counties in the Bay Area as part of a collective effort to slow the spread of the virus. Citizens were asked not to leave their homes except for "essential activities" like buying food, and "nonessential businesses" were ordered to shut down. Tesla's human resources head Valerie Workman reportedly told employees in... |
| GitHub’s new mobile app is now available on iOS and Android Posted: 17 Mar 2020 05:16 PM PDT  Image: GitHub Microsoft-owned GitHub released its new mobile app today as a free download for iOS and Android. The app for the popular code repository service is primarily designed to help developers manage projects while away from their PC, letting them organize tasks, give feedback on issues, respond to comments, and review and merge pull requests. GitHub notifications show up in an inbox that looks like many email inboxes, and you can swipe tasks to either save or mark them as complete: You can also react to comments with emoji, which could be handy to keep a project moving if someone is relying on your feedback: The app also lets you view code, as shown in the below screenshot... |
| Google employees demand better treatment for contract workers amid coronavirus crisis Posted: 17 Mar 2020 05:15 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge A group of Google employees has sent a memo to company leadership demanding stronger commitments to protect the more vulnerable members of Google's workforce, primarily its contract workers, during the ongoing coronavirus crisis, according to a report from Business Insider. The memo is written by both full-time employees and contract workers, otherwise known as "TVC" employees for temporary, vendor or contractor. Google has a longstanding reputation for employing a massive number of contract workers it treats as second-class employees to cut costs and avoid having to foot the bill for the benefits it provides to full-time workers, including access to certain transportation and dining options and other benefits like stock options, paid... |
| Facebook was marking legitimate news articles about the coronavirus as spam due to a software bug Posted: 17 Mar 2020 04:29 PM PDT  Illustration by James Bareham / The Verge Facebook started marking some posts linking to information and articles about the coronavirus and COVID-19 as spam, as observed by one Verge reporter and many users on Twitter on Tuesday evening. The issue was due to a "bug in an anti-spam system," according to Guy Rosen, Facebook's vice president of integrity. Rosen said the company began working on a fix as soon as discovering the issue.
Here are a few examples of affected Facebook posts:

| Posted: 17 Mar 2020 03:51 PM PDT  Image: Massimo Temporelli A medical device manufacturer has threatened to sue a group of volunteers in Italy that 3D printed a valve used for life-saving coronavirus treatments. The valve typically costs about $11,000 from the medical device manufacturer, but the volunteers were able to print replicas for about $1 (via Techdirt). A hospital in Italy was in need of the valves after running out while treating patients for COVID-19. The hospital's usual supplier said they could not make the valves in time to treat the patients, according to Metro. That launched a search for a way to 3D print a replica part, and Cristian Fracassi and Alessandro Ramaioli, who work at Italian startup Isinnova, offered their company's printer for the job, reports Business Insider.

| Fox buys Tubi for $440 million as it attempts to join the streaming wars Posted: 17 Mar 2020 02:58 PM PDT  Fox Corporation has acquired ad-supported streaming platform Tubi for $440 million, bringing more than 20,000 movies and shows to the platform.

| Why we’re seeing some severe COVID-19 cases among younger people Posted: 17 Mar 2020 02:55 PM PDT  Photo by Sergei Bobylev\TASS via Getty Images COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, has been much deadlier in older people — but more anecdotes are popping up of young, healthy people getting critically ill and even dying of the disease. Two 29-year-old health care workers became seriously ill in Wuhan — only one survived, a report in The New York Times detailed. Other stories about people under 50 coming down with serious symptoms are making the rounds on social media, along with questions about whether seemingly healthy young people ought to be more concerned. What do these cases tell us about the disease?

| How to order takeout safely and ethically Posted: 17 Mar 2020 02:47 PM PDT  Illustration by Angie Wang Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, we've been advised to stay inside and to minimize human contact. One of the biggest challenges that creates is getting food. Many states and cities have restricted restaurants to takeout since dining out is no longer considered safe or responsible. However, ordering delivery is still a viable option. There is little evidence to support that COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, can be transmitted through food or food packaging, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration (although, of course, nobody is absolutely sure). However, the risk can be much higher for delivery workers who have to travel and interact with people. D... |

| People with insurance could pay over $1,300 for COVID-19 treatment Posted: 17 Mar 2020 02:17 PM PDT  Photo by Barry Chin/The Boston Globe via Getty Images Someone with health insurance from their employer could pay $1,300 or more out of pocket for treatment if they're hospitalized with a severe case of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to one analysis. Health researchers based that prediction off of the costs associated with hospitalization for pneumonia. "The thought is, how we treat pneumonia is going to look at lot like how we treat the coronavirus," said Matthew Rae, associate director for the Program on the Health Care Marketplace at the Kaiser Family Foundation, who worked on the analysis. "Both are respiratory illnesses." Rae and his co-authors analyzed a database of insurance claims for people enrolled in employer insurance plans. They found that... |
