| Uber faces criticism for stopping food deliveries to low-income neighborhood in San Francisco Posted: 24 Apr 2020 05:46 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Uber has informed residents of San Francisco's Treasure Island neighborhood it will no longer make Uber Eats deliveries to the area because of new city regulations temporarily capping delivery commissions. Uber says the regulations limit the company's "ability to cover operational costs." But San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney has criticized Uber for its approach, saying it's cutting off service to a low-income neighborhood in retaliation for the city's policy, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "This is DESPICABLE, outrageous behavior from @UberEats," Haney said in the first of a series of tweets. "The caps on commissions are to protect small businesses and ensure they can survive during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Uber responds by... |
| Amazon to impose new unpaid leave restrictions for warehouse workers starting May 1st Posted: 24 Apr 2020 04:54 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon is changing its unpaid leave policies starting next month, according to a report from Bloomberg. On May 1st, hourly employees — a vast majority of which are among the company's 250,000 or so warehouse workers who cannot work from home — must request an unpaid leave of absence to continue staying home if they do not want to work out of fear for their safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the coronavirus crisis, Amazon's hourly workers in its fulfillment centers and warehouses have been able to stay home without pay and retain their jobs. For those who were reporting to work and became sick, or who came into contact with someone who tested positive for the virus, Amazon has been offering two weeks of paid time off. "If... |
| Sony delays Spider-Man films, forcing Marvel to move Doctor Strange and Thor sequels again Posted: 24 Apr 2020 03:41 PM PDT  Photo: Sony Pictures Entertainment Like almost every other studio, Sony is moving around its film schedule because of the novel coronavirus. That means its two biggest Spider-Man movies will be delayed. The sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and the third installment in the Spider-Man: Homecoming trilogy (created in partnership with Marvel Studios) will each receive months-long delays. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's sequel will now be released on October 7th, 2022 instead of April 8th, 2022. And the final movie in the Homecoming trilogy will open on November 5th, 2021 instead of July 16th, 2021. Sony's other Spider-Man Universe movie, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, will now open on June 25th, 2021 instead of October this year. In order to accommodate the... |
| OnePlus lays off employees in Europe less than two weeks after OnePlus 8 launch Posted: 24 Apr 2020 03:15 PM PDT  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge OnePlus launched its latest flagship phones, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, less than two weeks ago, but the Chinese phone maker is now laying off employees in regional offices throughout Europe, according to a report from Engadget. It does not appear that the layoffs are coronavirus-related; rather, OnePlus appears to be dramatically downsizing offices in UK, France and Germany, with reductions in headcount as high as 80 percent for some offices. In some offices, there are just three employees, the report says. Engadget reports that offices in Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands were not affected, as OnePlus sees those areas as more promising growth markets. As such, Helsinki is... |
| One of the Apple Watch’s original designers tweeted a behind-the-scenes look at its development Posted: 24 Apr 2020 03:09 PM PDT  Image: Imran Chaudhri The original Apple Watch was released five years ago today — April 24th, 2015 — and Imran Chaudhri, a designer who worked on the team for the first Apple Watch, shared some fascinating behind-the-scenes info about the product's development in a tweetstorm today. Check out Chaudhri's reproduction of the original sketch of the Apple Watch's home screen, for example — it looks as if the concept for the "honeycomb" array of apps was part of the design of the device even in its earliest planning stages. And I think the early "E.T." name for Digital Touch, described in the second tweet below, is quite clever, especially because you have to do an E.T.-like finger point on your Apple Watch's display to use the feature.

| John Legere abruptly resigns from T-Mobile board of directors ‘to pursue other options’ Posted: 24 Apr 2020 03:01 PM PDT  Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge John Legere has formally cut ties with T-Mobile US, the company he led as CEO for over seven years. After steering T-Mobile through a dramatic turnaround that culminated in its successful merger with former rival Sprint, Legere stepped down and Mike Sievert was appointed T-Mobile's new chief executive earlier this month. At that time, Legere had said he would remain on T-Mobile's board of directors until June 4th. But that's not the case anymore. In an 8K filing with the SEC today, T-Mobile revealed that Legere is leaving the board "effective immediately to pursue other options." "Mr. Legere noted that he was not resigning because of any disagreement with management or the board on any matter," T-Mobile said in its note, which also... |
| Go read this story on how COVID-19 took over cruise ships Posted: 24 Apr 2020 02:14 PM PDT  Many industries have been negatively impacted by the novel coronavirus, including the cruise industry, with cruise ships deemed some of the most dangerous places due to the limited airflow and confined spaces. With no global organization or agency keeping track of cases from cruise ships, the Miami Herald, a Florida-based newspaper, decided to track outbreaks on oceangoing cruise ships. As of April 23rd, the Miami Herald found at least 3,582 people during or directly after a cruise have tested positive for COVID-19, with "at least 65 people" dead as a result. The COVID-19 cases they found were linked to at least 54 oceangoing cruise ships — roughly one-fifth of the global ocean cruise fleet. However, that number could still grow, with... |
| Amazon extends hourly wage increase for warehouse workers through May 16th Posted: 24 Apr 2020 01:25 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon is extending its increase in the hourly pay rate of warehouse workers through May 16th, according to a report from CNBC. The company originally announced in March that, as part of its hiring increase to contend with the huge surge in demand due to the coronavirus pandemic, it would raise warehouse worker pay by $2 an hour. The pay increase was temporary, slated to end by May 1st. Now, Amazon is extending the pay bump to help incentivize workers to continue staffing its warehouses and its grocery and package delivery platforms. "We continue to see heavy demand during this difficult time and the team is doing incredible work for our customers and the community," an Amazon spokesperson tells CNBC. According to the report, Amazon is... |
| Mark Zuckerberg on how video chat needs to evolve for the pandemic Posted: 24 Apr 2020 11:23 AM PDT  Image: The Verge Facebook's CEO on building Rooms now, virtual reality later, and the massive acceleration in virtual connections |
| Messenger Rooms are Facebook’s answer to Zoom and Houseparty for the pandemic Posted: 24 Apr 2020 11:15 AM PDT  Facebook is rolling out a suite of new products to expand its capabilities in video chat. The company today announced Messenger Rooms, a tool for starting virtual hangouts with up to 50 people and allowing friends to drop in on you whenever they like. It's also doubling the capacity of video calls on WhatsApp from four people to eight, adding video calls to Facebook Dating, and adding new live-streaming features to both Facebook and Instagram. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the features in a live stream today. In an interview with The Verge, Zuckerberg said the new video features were built in line with the company's shift toward creating more private messaging tools. "Video presence isn't a new area for us," he said. "But it's an area... |
