| Apple, Amazon among companies adjusting operations amid demonstrations Posted: 31 May 2020 03:21 PM PDT  Photo by Valerie Macon/AFP via Getty Images Amazon, Target, and Apple all made modifications to their business operations over the weekend in light of demonstrations in cities across the US, Bloomberg reported. Apple kept many of its retail stores closed on Sunday, including some that had just reopened after weeks of being shuttered due to the pandemic. Target closed 32 of its stores in the Minneapolis area and said Sunday it would temporarily close several more across the country. Amazon told Bloomberg that it had scaled back and adjusted routes "in a handful of cities" to ensure workers' safety. Drivers in Chicago and Los Angeles received messages Saturday instructing them to stop delivering packages and return home, according to Bloomberg. Minneapolis has been the site of... |
| A restaurant in the Netherlands is using creepy robot waiters for social distancing Posted: 31 May 2020 02:53 PM PDT  Royal Palace Renesse/Instagram A restaurant in the Netherlands has introduced new robot waiters as a way to reduce human-to-human contact in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. The red-and-white robots (which are giving me serious Rosey the robot vibes) will greet customers, serve food and pick up used dishes from diners' tables at the Royal Palace restaurant in the town of Renesse, according to the Associated Press. The as-yet-unnamed robots say "hello and welcome," in and they wear little scarves (to seem less creepy? idk). "They help us with the work we do," says Leah Hu, whose family owns the Royal Palace. "We are often busy and cleaning tables and the robots give us an extra hand. We are not disappearing. We are still here. They will always need people in... |
| YouTube will donate $1 million to the Center for Policing Equity Posted: 31 May 2020 01:44 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge YouTube says it will donate $1 million to the Center for Policing Equity, to demonstrate "solidarity against racism and violence." The Alphabet-owned video platform tweeted that it was pledging the funds "in support of efforts to address social injustice." The company did not specifically reference the demonstrations in cities across the US over the weekend protesting the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Authorities charged fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd's death, after a video showed Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck as other officers looked on. The Center for Policing Equity is a nonprofit research think tank made up of research scientists and race... |
| Jake Paul filmed looting, but denies being a part of it Posted: 31 May 2020 10:47 AM PDT  Eric Espada/Getty Images Jake Paul is denying that he took part in looting captured on video at an Arizona mall after backlash about his appearance sprung up online. In multiple videos posted to Instagram and Twitter, Paul and members of his crew are seen outside and inside an Arizona mall where looting is taking place. It remained unclear from the videos whether Paul and his team were actively involved in any looting, but commenters on social media, including prominent members of the YouTube community, criticized Paul for his appearance at the scene regardless. Paul's new statement claims that "neither I, nor anyone in our group, was engaged in any looting or vandalism." "We filmed everything we saw in an effort to share our experience and bring more... |
| Caught on camera, police explode in rage and violence across the US Posted: 31 May 2020 08:46 AM PDT  Photo by Mostafa Bassim/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images Over the past 72 hours, people across the US have captured what may be the most comprehensive live picture of police brutality ever. Any one of the videos we've seen could have sparked a national discussion, with people picking apart their elements, searching for context to argue about, and digging through the pasts of everyone involved. But it's not just one act of violence. It's everywhere. Here is just a short list of scenes from the past few days:

| SpaceX’s Crew Dragon successfully docks with the space station Posted: 31 May 2020 07:30 AM PDT  Crew Dragon Endeavour approaches the ISS. | Image: NASA / SpaceX This morning, SpaceX's new Crew Dragon capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station, bringing the company's first crew to the orbiting outpost. Their arrival marks another major milestone for SpaceX's first crewed mission of the Crew Dragon, which successfully took off yesterday, May 30th, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Now, the Crew Dragon's passengers — NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley — are set to begin an extended stay on board the ISS that could last up to four months. They will join three crew mates already living on board the station: NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner. |
| Amazon removed racist images that appeared on some listings for headphones Posted: 31 May 2020 07:10 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon says it has removed images with racist language from some listings for headphones on its UK site, The Financial Times reported. Users posted screenshots to Twitter of search results for "AirPods" and "bluetooth headphones" that appeared on the e-commerce site. Instead of photos of headphones, the search results showed images that contained the N-word. The listings seemed to be limited to the UK site, and appeared on the pages of new Amazon sellers, most of whom had few or no customer reviews, the FT reported. As of Sunday morning the images did not appear on Amazon's UK site. "Our store maintains content guidelines which third party sellers are required to follow," an Amazon spokesperson said in an email to The Verge on Sunday.... |

| How to watch SpaceX’s first crew dock with the International Space Station Posted: 31 May 2020 02:00 AM PDT  On Saturday afternoon, SpaceX launched its first human crew to space for NASA on the company's new Crew Dragon spacecraft — but the mission isn't over yet. After spending nearly a full day in orbit, the two passengers on board SpaceX's vehicle, NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, will attempt to dock with the International Space Station this morning. SpaceX's Crew Dragon has an automatic docking system, which uses a series of sensors and cameras to help the vehicle approach the ISS and then grab on to an existing docking port. The Crew Dragon successfully tested out this technique last year when SpaceX launched a test version of the vehicle to the ISS without crew on board. But this time, the Crew Dragon will carry very precious... |
