| Coursera to give unemployed workers free access to 3,800 online courses Posted: 25 Apr 2020 02:55 PM PDT  Coursera Online learning platform Coursera will make 3,800 of its courses available for free to people unemployed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Gizmodo reported. The Coursera Workforce Recovery Initiative is part of its Coursera for Government training program for government employees. The goal of the initiative is to help workers develop skills to become re-employed, according to a Coursera blog post. You can't apply as an individual for the free courses; government agencies that serve unemployed workers have to apply for access. "Coursera for Government is designed for government agencies to provide reskilling and upskilling programs for entire communities," according to the Coursera website. About 26 million people in the US have filed... |
| Dyson says the UK doesn’t need the ventilator it developed to treat COVID-19 patients Posted: 25 Apr 2020 10:24 AM PDT  After spending about $25 million on the project, British technology company Dyson says the UK government doesn't need the ventilator it developed to help treat COVID-19 patients, Reuters reported. The company, best known for its vacuum cleaners, said last month it had an order from the UK government for 10,000 of the breathing machines and developed one it called the CoVent. Dyson was awaiting regulatory approval for the design of the CoVent, reportedly built in 10 days using the company's existing motor technology. The bed-mounted, portable ventilator is able to run on battery power if necessary. Ventilators are needed to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients, many of whom suffer from severe respiratory symptoms. Other companies—... |
| China reportedly orders TikTok owner ByteDance to remove Feishu workplace app Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:55 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The Chinese government has ordered ByteDance to take down its Feishu workplace messaging tool from app stores in China for a month because it let users access posts from Facebook and Twitter, which are banned in the country, Bloomberg reported. ByteDance, which also operates the social media app TikTok, developed Feishu as an internal app, then marketed it for business use in 2019. An international version of the app, called Lark, launched in April 2019 and is still operating in markets like Japan and Singapore. Feishu has become popular in China during the coronavirus pandemic as people continue working from home. Bloomberg describes the app as a combination of Slack, Skype, and Google Docs. In China, Feishu competes with Alibaba's... |
| Play Mackerelmedia Fish, a strangely adorable ode to dying websites Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:00 AM PDT  Nathalie Lawhead Have you installed the latest version of Mackerelmedia Fish? No, not Macromedia Flash. Mackerelmedia Fish. The piscine rich media plugin, created by experimental game designer Nathalie Lawhead, used in projects like the hacking tool Haxatron 2000. A relic of an era where social media hadn't eaten the internet, amateurish weirdness was the norm, and visiting a website might involve clicking through an endless series of arcane installation screens. The website is still online, but if you click the wrong link, you may be eaten by a grue. Lawhead, known for projects like Tetrageddon Games and Everything Is Going To Be OK, explains a little more about Mackerelmedia Fish on her blog. It's a short and surreal game about digital archaeology,... |

| Amazon restricted from selling non-essential items in France after it loses court appeal Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:41 AM PDT  Amazon has lost its appeal of a French court ruling that requires the company to temporarily stop delivering nonessential items in France or face hefty fines, the New York Times reported. The Versailles Court of Appeals upheld a lower-court ruling that led the e-commerce company to close six of its fulfillment centers in France and put workers on paid furlough. Amazon had said the definition of what goods it could ship was not clear and rather than risk being fined, opted to temporarily close the fulfillment centers. Under the French court ruling, Amazon can only deliver items directly related to medical supplies, hygiene products, and food items in the country during the coronavirus pandemic. It must conduct a risk assessment of its... |
| 9 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:00 AM PDT  Photo: Justina Mintz / TNT With Parasite still on my mind, I decided to go back and rewatch Snowpiercer the other week since both Bong Joon-ho movies deal with such similar themes around class. Snowpiercer, obviously, does it in a much more action-packed way, but the big picture is very much the same: an upper class surviving off of a lower class, who slowly fight their way up. The most fun thing about Snowpiercer is something I actually wish it did more of: building such brilliant, strange, self-contained worlds within each car. The ones that Bong focuses on feel so vibrant and full. You really get an understanding of who lives in each car and the culture they've created for it. But as the movie goes on, it rushes through so many of them, and I wish there was... |
