| Donald Trump weakens environmental regulations with new executive order Posted: 04 Jun 2020 04:09 PM PDT  US President Donald Trump on January 9, 2020 announced sweeping changes to an environmental law, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), that would speed up the construction of highways, airports and pipelines. | Photo by NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP via Getty Images President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday allowing major infrastructure projects and energy projects to move forward without rigorous environmental review. Agencies would be able to waive provisions put in place by cornerstone environmental laws like the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). That would apply to projects like new mines, pipelines, and highways, reports The Washington Post. The move is aimed at spurring recovery from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. An economic emergency, Trump claimed, gives the president authority to essentially suspend environmental laws. "Agencies should take all reasonable measures to speed infrastructure investments and to speed other... |
| Senators criticize AT&T for not counting HBO Max toward data caps Posted: 04 Jun 2020 03:27 PM PDT  Photo by Samuel Corum/Getty Images Senators Ed Markey (D-MA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CO) have written a letter to AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson criticizing the company's decision to exempt HBO Max streaming data from counting toward AT&T mobile customers' data caps. The practice is known as zero-rating, and it's been a contentious issue in the telecom industry for years. The letter follows AT&T's recent confirmation to The Verge that HBO Max data wouldn't count toward AT&T's mobile data caps. AT&T is able to do this thanks to the Federal Communication Commission's rollback of net neutrality protections that prohibited companies from, among other things, giving their own data streams preferential treatment. The loss of those protections back in 2018... |
| Slack partners with Amazon to take on Microsoft Teams Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:30 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Slack is partnering with Amazon in a multi-year agreement that means all Amazon employees will start to use Slack. The deal comes just as Slack faces increased competition from Microsoft Teams, and it will also see Slack migrate its voice and video calling features over to Amazon's Chime platform alongside a broader adoption of Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon's roll out of Slack to all of its employees is a big part of the deal, thanks to an enterprise-wide agreement. It's not immediately clear how many of Amazon's 840,000 employees will be using Slack, though. Up until today, Slack's biggest customer has been IBM, which is rolling out Slack to its 350,000 employees. While Slack has long used AWS to power parts of its chat app, it's... |
| General Motors is reportedly working on an electric delivery van Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:29 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge General Motors is working on an all-electric delivery van, according to Reuters. If true, GM would the latest automaker to hone in on what's expected to be a successful slice of the nascent electric vehicle market. It's also a segment that is in desperate need of electrification, especially with the rise of Amazon and home deliveries in general. Five people with knowledge of the project told Reuters that the van, codenamed "BV1," will enter production in late 2021. The van will be powered by the Ultium battery platform GM revealed in early March, and will share some components with the company's forthcoming electric pickup trucks and SUVs. Those sources also said the van will be built at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant. None of that is... |
| Hydroxychloroquine study retraction shows the problems of speedy science Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:00 PM PDT  Photo by GEORGE FREY/AFP via Getty Images A recent large study on the controversial drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine was just retracted by The Lancet, the scientific journal that published it. The study had found that the drugs weren't able to effectively treat COVID-19, but the authors say that they weren't able to independently analyze the data used to reach that conclusion. The study is no longer considered reliable. Soon after the research was published in The Lancet, scientists started to point out problems with the dataset used in the study — it claimed to have data that would have been almost impossible to gather during that time frame, for example. The data came from a company called Surgisphere, whose founder and CEO was a coauthor on the study. In the... |
| Roku is a huge force in streaming, and a hurdle for HBO Max Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:43 PM PDT  HBO Max launched last week without any Roku support and integration, and new numbers from multiple research firms show just how much of a problem that might be for the new streaming service. Roku dominates viewing time among streaming boxes. The company commands 44 percent of viewing time, according to research from Conviva. That more than doubles its biggest competitor, Amazon Fire TV, which maintains about 19 percent of viewing time. Roku has also grown its viewing time by about 50 percent year over year, based on official comments from the company. Time spent watching content through connected TV devices, like Roku and Amazon Fire TV, increased dramatically during the pandemic. According to a new report, Nielsen data... |
| Google says foreign hackers targeted emails of Trump and Biden campaign staffers Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:37 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Foreign hackers targeted the personal email accounts of staffers on the presidential campaigns of Democratic primary candidate Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, Reuters reported. It appears that state-backed hackers from China tried to target staffers on the Biden campaign, while Iranian hackers targeted the email accounts of Trump campaign staff. Shane Huntley, the head of Google's Threat Analysis Group, tweeted that the hackers had made phishing attempts on campaign staffers' emails, but there had been "no sign of compromise."

| Hulu will stop working on some older Roku devices starting later this month Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:22 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Hulu will no longer be supported on some older Roku devices as of June 24th, according to a Hulu support page (via Ars Technica). The affected models were released in 2012 or earlier, and include Roku players with a model number between 2400 to 3100 and Roku Streaming Sticks with a model number of 3420 or earlier. Those older Roku devices were already running the "classic" Hulu app, a more limited version of Hulu that lets you access content from Hulu's library and Showtime (if you're a subscriber). The Hulu app on newer Roku devices, by contrast, lets you access those as well as live TV and more premium channels, as long as you subscribe to them. Hulu... |
| Kitty Hawk abandons its Flyer project, lays off dozens Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:07 PM PDT  Image: Kitty Hawk Secretive Larry Page-backed "flying car" startup Kitty Hawk has pulled the plug on its Flyer electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and will lay off most of the 70-person team that was working on it, as TechCrunch first reported. "We have learned what we needed from [Flyer] — things like vehicle design and testing, manufacturing aircraft, and most of all, how humans would experience eVTOL," Alex Roetter, the president of the Flyer project, and Sebastian Thrun, Kitty Hawk's CEO, wrote in a blog post. "We are proud to have built the first electrically-powered VTOL aircraft in the world flown by non-pilots. Just as with our earlier Cora aircraft, Flyer is clearly a milestone in the history of Kitty Hawk and eVTOL... |
