| Uber and Lyft lose appeal, ordered again to classify drivers as employees Posted: 22 Oct 2020 06:27 PM PDT  Photo by ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images Uber and Lyft were ordered by California's court of appeals to classify their drivers as employees. In a 74-page opinion, the court affirmed the injunction that was issued on August 10th requiring Uber and Lyft to classify their drivers as employees within 30 days. But it's unlikely this ruling will go into effect before California voters weigh in on a ballot measure, Prop 22, that would exempt Uber, Lyft and other gig economy companies from the state law making it more difficult to classify workers as independent contractors. The injunction won't go into effect until 30 days after the appeals ruling. Still, it's a sign that Uber and Lyft have a lot riding on... |
| Meet the 24-year-old who’s tracking every broken McDonald’s ice-cream machine in the US Posted: 22 Oct 2020 05:45 PM PDT  Photo by Romy Arroyo Fernandez/NurPhoto via Getty Images We've all been there. You're craving a McFlurry, or a Shamrock Shake. You drive to McDonald's, excited to fill yourself up with cold and sugary goodness. But when you finally make it to the counter, you hear those dreaded, devastating words: "The ice cream machine is broken." A few hours ago, a 24-year-old software engineer launched McBroken, a website that aims to end such incidents once and for all. The site displays a map of every McDonald's location in the US, denoted by clusters of dots. Locations with a working ice-cream machine get a green dot; locations without one, a red dot. A column on the right compiles statistics — currently, 7.54 percent of McDonald's ice-cream machines in the US are broken, as are 15.22 percent of those... |
| Google will sell you a $349 Pixel 4A for $216 over two years Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:41 PM PDT  You can now buy the Pixel 4A from Google for just $9 per month over 24 months as part of the new Google Fi phone subscription program. That monthly cost means you'd pay just just $216 for the phone, a substantial savings over its $349 upfront price. After you've made all 24 payments, you own the phone. You can also elect to add in a $6 per month device protection plan, meaning your monthly subscription cost is $15. That protection plan covers up to two incidents of accidental damage and one loss or theft claim in a year. (Loss and theft replacement isn't available to New York state residents, however.) At $15 per month over 24 months, you'd pay $360 for the Pixel 4A over the course of the subscription, which is only $11 more than the... |
| TikTok will now tell you why it removed your video Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:09 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge You know what you did. Or do you? Until recently, TikTok wouldn't necessarily explain why it removed one of your videos from the platform. You'd simply be told that it violated the company's "community guidelines" somehow. But today, TikTok is announcing that it will give you at least a vague idea of why your video is gone, by naming the specific policy it fell afoul of. That's pretty similar to how other companies do it. As before, you'll be able to submit an appeal. Maybe you'll have some idea what you're appealing now. TikTok says it's been experimenting with these... |
| Moog’s limited-edition theremin marks 100 years of weird sounds Posted: 22 Oct 2020 02:59 PM PDT  The Moog Claravox Centennial theremin | Image: Moog The sounds of the theremin, once the instrument of the future, have now been tingling our spines for 100 years. In commemoration, Moog is introducing its new limited-edition Claravox Centennial, named for theremin virtuosa Clara Rockmore. Moog says the Claravox offers "the highest quality control and sound available in a theremin." With two modes, Traditional and Modern, it enables thereminists to switch between heterodyne analog and digital oscillators. It has the same wave-shaping circuit as Moog's Etherwave Pro theremin, and DIN MIDI, USB, and CV inputs and outputs for connection to DAWs and use as a controller. It's also lovely just to look at, with a walnut cabinet, brass antennas, and plenty of knobs to fiddle with. Electronic... |
| Quibi will shut down ‘on or around’ December 1st Posted: 22 Oct 2020 02:53 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Quibi will shut down for good "on or around December 1st," according to a new blog posted on the company's support site. The announcement comes one day after company executives declared Quibi was shutting down for good. It's unclear where Quibi's content will be available after the app shuts down. The company does recommend, however, following the Quibi hashtag on Twitter for any news about its library catalog. Earlier today, co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg told CNBC the company is currently trying to find buyers for its shows. It's unclear how many of those shows Quibi owns the rights to, or for how long, but Katzenberg said he believes there are interested parties. Quibi's executives are currently in the process of trying to wind down... |
| FDA approves remdesivir to treat COVID-19 Posted: 22 Oct 2020 02:09 PM PDT  Photo by Liu Guanguan/China News Service via Getty Images The Food and Drug Administration approved remdesivir to treat COVID-19 in hospitalized patients. The drug, manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Gilead, is the first approved COVID-19 treatment in the United States. Remdesivir, now marketed under the brand name Veklury, was authorized for emergency use by the FDA in May. That emergency authorization indicated that the FDA thought the benefits of using the drug outweighed the risks, even though there was no clear evidence showing that it helped patients with COVID-19 at the time. "The FDA is committed to expediting the development and availability of COVID-19 treatments during this unprecedented public health emergency," said FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn in a statement. The drug... |
| Amazon’s warehouse injury rates are so high that it faces a more costly workers’ comp classification Posted: 22 Oct 2020 02:06 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Just last month, a stunning report showed how Amazon fulfillment centers across the country saw rising injury rates between 2016 and 2019, sourced from internal company data. And now, proposed legislation in Washington state would mean Amazon could pay a higher workers' compensation premium than other warehouse-owning companies next year. To make this happen, the state wants to put warehouses that function like Amazon's into a separate risk classification. While the proposed classification for "fulfillment centers" doesn't say the word Amazon anywhere, how they are defined seems to fit the description of the company:

| Minecraft will require a Microsoft account to play in 2021 Posted: 22 Oct 2020 01:49 PM PDT  Minecraft players have been able to play without a Microsoft account for the past six years that the company has owned the game, but that will change in 2021, the official Minecraft blog announced yesterday. Players who own the original version of the game and do not switch to a Microsoft account will be unable to play. The game has existed in two separately developed versions since its 2011 launch on consoles. Previously, the original Minecraft: Java Edition used Mojang accounts, while Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, the name for the console and Windows store version of the game, used Microsoft accounts. After this change, the accounts will be the same, but there's still no crossplay: you still won't be able to play with friends using the... |
| FuboTV now lets you watch four channels at once on Apple TV Posted: 22 Oct 2020 01:30 PM PDT  Image: fuboTV If you never used Sony's now-shuttered PlayStation Vue internet TV service, you're probably unaware of one of its best features: multiview. PS Vue allowed you to watch multiple channels on-screen at once, which is something most of the bigger TV apps — Sling TV, YouTube TV, Hulu, etc. — don't currently offer. But now, FuboTV is putting a bigger focus on multiview. You could already stream two channels simultaneously with the FuboTV app on Apple TV, and starting today, that's expanding to four. FuboTV says the feature is particularly popular with sports fans since it lets them keep an eye on multiple games at the same time. But you can use it with other networks as well. Want to stress yourself out with election coverage in all four... |
