| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 04:20 PM PDT  Data-mining firm Palantir has filed its prospectus to take the company public, and its S-1 confirms leaked information that showed the company has not turned a profit since its founding in 2003. Palantir plans to debut with a direct listing rather than selling shares in an initial public offering. It's among a handful of tech companies that have taken this route to go public in recent years; Slack did last year, Spotify did in 2018, and Asana did earlier this week. The company lost $580 million in 2019, the filing shows, and in the first half of 2020 it has lost $175 million. The S-1 shows the company had 125 customers in the first half of this year, "including some of the largest and most significant institutions in the world," the... |
| YouTube took down more videos than ever last quarter as it relied more on non-human moderators Posted: 25 Aug 2020 02:17 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge As it predicted would likely happen, YouTube removed more videos in the second quarter of 2020 than it ever has, as the company leaned more on its algorithm in place of most of its human content moderators. That's according to the Community Guidelines Enforcement report the company released Tuesday (via Protocol), which shows it took down more than 11.4 million videos between April and June. In the same period last year, YouTube removed just under 9 million videos. "When reckoning with greatly reduced human review capacity due to COVID-19, we were forced to make a choice between potential under-enforcement or potential over-enforcement," the company wrote in a blog post. "Because responsibility is our top priority, we chose the latter —... |
| Verily, Google’s health-focused sister company, is getting into insurance Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:53 PM PDT  Verily Life Sciences, the health care company owned by Alphabet, is getting into insurance, the company announced today. Verily is launching a new subsidiary for the effort called Coefficient Insurance Company, which will be backed by the commercial insurance unit of Swiss Re Group. Coefficient plans to offer stop-loss insurance. The explanation for stop-loss is a little technical, but it boils down to this: Employers that pay for employee health claims out of pocket buy stop-loss insurance. Once they hit the predetermined point of money they pay for their employees' health, the stop-loss insurance company pays the rest. Insurance is something of a departure for Verily. A previous... |
| Vue finally ships its Kickstarter smart glasses and debuts the new $179 Vue Lite Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:43 PM PDT  In October 2016, a startup named Vue promised Kickstarter backers a pair of prescription eyeglasses that could double as wireless earbuds, a fitness tracker, and a smartwatch all at once, plus bone conduction speakers so nobody can eavesdrop on your music and calls. By 2018, $3 million later, the company hadn't shipped a single pair. But fast-forward another two years, and Vue is now ready to sell you on the idea again. The new $179-and-up Vue Lite glasses ditch some of the fancier features to focus on Bluetooth audio, with standard speakers instead of bone conduction, a microphone for calls and your phone's voice assistant, touch controls, and an estimated 3.5 hours of music playback on a charge. |
| Here’s where you can buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:20 PM PDT  Photo by Becca Farsace / The Verge Samsung announced its new Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra phones at its Unpacked 2020 online event in early August 2020. At this point, The Verge's Dieter Bohn has now published his full review of the larger Note 20 Ultra. You can read that here or watch the video component of the review above. I'm just here to tell you where to buy them. Oh, and if you're curious about when you can preorder the new Galaxy Z Fold 2, that's coming on September 1st. Both Note 20 phones have already released, and if you placed a preorder, you can go ahead and redeem free goodies with your purchase. Buying the $1,000 Note 20 earned you a $100 Samsung credit that can be redeemed on its site or through the Shop Samsung app, and it can go toward "curated... |
| Android 101: How to stop location tracking Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:04 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Location tracking can be very handy — it's convenient when an app can tell you, say, where the near restaurants or gas stations are — but it's also a privacy issue. Do you want all your wanderings registered by Google? Are you comfortable knowing that Mark Zuckerberg's minions know where you are at all times? (Well, not that Mark Zuckerberg has minions, but you know what I mean.) In this article, we'll take a look at how to stop location tracking on your Android phone and how to delete your location history from your OS and from some of the more popular apps. As always, note that versions of Android can differ, and many manufacturers use overlays as well, which can change the locations of various commands — but they should be similar... |
| NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps gets another assignment to the space station after canceled trip Posted: 25 Aug 2020 10:31 AM PDT  NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps | Image: NASA Two years after being unexpectedly pulled from a flight to the International Space Station, NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps is now assigned to a new mission to the ISS. Rather than flying on the Russian Soyuz rocket as first planned, Epps will join the first operational crew of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner, a new private capsule developed to ferry NASA astronauts to and from the station. Epps was originally supposed to fly on the Soyuz back in June 2018, as one of three crew members headed to the ISS for a six-month-long stay. That would have made her the first Black crew member of the ISS to live on the station long term. But in January 2018, NASA took Epps off the flight,... |
| Facebook plans to expand its news tab beyond the US Posted: 25 Aug 2020 10:15 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook is planning to expand its dedicated news section and says it is "considering" the UK, Germany, France, India, and Brazil as possible recipients, it announced Tuesday. The company's timeline is vague: "within the next six months to a year," so it's curious why Facebook would announce something not yet imminent. But given Facebook's volatile history with the news industry, and the trend toward requiring platforms to pay news outlets for their content, it's possible the company is simply testing the waters for its next move. Facebook launched its News tab to US audiences in June, with plans to pay publishers that participated. To qualify as a partner, Facebook required publishers to pass its integrity standards and to have large... |
| Oculus Connect is now ‘Facebook Connect,’ and it’s happening September 16th Posted: 25 Aug 2020 10:00 AM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Facebook's annual Oculus Connect conference will be held online-only on September 16th — and it's being rebranded as Facebook Connect, part of the social giant's gradual assimilation of its virtual reality subsidiary. Connect 2020 will be publicly streamed online, a change Facebook announced in April. Like the past few years' events, it will cover a mix of virtual and augmented reality news from Facebook. But unlike previous years, it's not being framed as a VR conference. Instead it's the first outing for "Facebook Reality Labs," a name that now covers all Facebook's VR and AR efforts. That includes Oculus, which focuses on VR games and headsets; Spark AR, Facebook's phone-based AR system; and the Portal videophone. |
| DC’s FanDome set the new gold standard for virtual events Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:58 AM PDT  Host Aisha Tyler inside the FanDome arena. | DC Comics In a time when we're oversaturated with virtual events, it's impossible not to notice that most of them don't exactly run smoothly. There are technical issues, sessions that run too long, and people so burned out on Zoom chats that sitting down for another video call on a Saturday afternoon is torturous. It's for these reasons that the sheer excellence of DC FanDome is so striking. DC FanDome was an eight-hour virtual convention held by DC Comics and Warner Bros. to highlight some of the biggest films, TV shows, game, and comics announcements. The biggest panels — those dedicated to Warner Bros. and DC's film slate, including The Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman 1984, and Zack Snyder's Justice League — were sandwiched between short sketches,... |
