| Twitter will transfer presidential accounts to Joe Biden on Inauguration Day Posted: 20 Nov 2020 05:24 PM PST  Twitter will transfer the @POTUS account to President-elect Joe Biden when he's sworn in on Inauguration Day, the company told Politico. Twitter will transfer the account to Biden even if President Donald Trump hasn't conceded — which he still hasn't done, despite the election widely being called for Biden earlier this month. "Twitter is actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 2021," a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement to The Verge. "As we did for the presidential transition in 2017, this process is being done in close consultation with the National Archives and Records Administration." Other presidential accounts, including @whitehouse, @VP, and @FLOTUS, will be... |
| Tesla workers in California are exempt from state’s new COVID-19 orders Posted: 20 Nov 2020 03:15 PM PST  Employees at Tesla's Fremont plant are "essential workers" and therefore exempt from new statewide COVID-19 health orders, CNBC reported. The California Department of Public Health says manufacturing is considered an "essential workforce" — and that applies to Tesla's manufacturing, too. California Governor Gavin Newsom announced new measures such as a "limited stay-at-home order" to slow new coronavirus cases in the state. The rules, which take effect Saturday, prohibit non-essential work and personal gatherings between 10PM and 5AM. The carmaker fought previous, stricter shelter-in-place orders in the spring. In March, Alameda County officials initially told the company it was not exempt from an order requiring nonessential businesses... |
| Airbnb’s Chinese data policies reportedly cost it an executive Posted: 20 Nov 2020 03:01 PM PST  Airbnb's chief trust officer Sean Joyce left the company after just six months in 2019 because the former FBI deputy director took issue with the company's data sharing practices in China, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. For years, Airbnb has disclosed that it shares information such as phone numbers and email addresses with the Chinese government when a user books a rental in China. That happens whether the user is a Chinese citizen or a foreign visitor — a policy that's required from all hospitality businesses operating in the country. Joyce, who Airbnb hired in May 2019 to protect the platform's users, was concerned with Airbnb's willingness to share data. Joyce also objected to the scope of the data shared, such as... |
| You won’t be able to watch HBO on Amazon’s channels platform starting next year Posted: 20 Nov 2020 02:21 PM PST  Amazon and HBO-owner WarnerMedia finally came to an agreement this week to bring HBO Max to Amazon Fire TV devices, nearly six months after the streaming service first launched. But as part of that agreement, Amazon will be removing HBO from Amazon's Prime Video Channels selection starting next year, according to CNBC. Amazon Prime Video Channels let you subscribe to individual streaming channels for a monthly fee and watch them on Amazon. But the HBO Prime Video Channel has some differences from HBO Max. HBO Max offers everything you'd get with a normal HBO subscription as well as additional movies, shows, and original series. As WarnerMedia is trying to build its subscriber base for HBO Max, it seems the company wants to remove some... |
| The first COVID-19 vaccines will likely require two shots Posted: 20 Nov 2020 01:48 PM PST  Pfizer / BioNTech's and Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines have a lot in common: they've both been highly effective in clinical trials, they're both gene-based vaccines, and they also each require two doses. That last point is pretty standard for vaccines. "If you look at all the FDA approved vaccines, the vast majority will require multiple doses," says Otto Yang, an infectious disease specialist at UCLA Health. Here's why some of the most promising coronavirus vaccine candidates are no exception. A vaccine works by exposing the body to a small part of the virus so that the immune system can learn to recognize it. More than one dose means more opportunities for the immune system to figure out exactly how to counter a future infection. The... |
| My favorite new Mandalorian character is a crew member who couldn’t get out of the shot Posted: 20 Nov 2020 12:26 PM PST  Game of Thrones editors may not have caught a coffee cup, and editors missed a water bottle in a Downton Abbey promotion photo, but my favorite accidental addition to a show is the crew member who made their way into the most recent Mandalorian episode. The crew member — we have to assume they're a crew member, but The Verge has reached out to Disney for more information — appears at approximately 18:54 in The Mandalorian's "Chapter 12" episode. Consider this your warning for light spoilers ahead. The scene in question features Greef Karga (Carl Weathers), Cara Dune (Gina Carano), the Mandalorian (aka, Din Djarin, played by Pedro Pascal), and the blue criminal from the series' very first episode taking on a batch of stormtroopers.... |
| NASA to launch satellite to track rising sea levels Posted: 20 Nov 2020 12:14 PM PST  NASA plans to launch a satellite tomorrow that will follow the effects of climate change on the world's oceans and gather data to improve weather forecasts. The satellite will continue NASA's three decades-long work to document rising sea levels and will give scientists a more precise view of the coastlines than they've ever had from space. "The best front seat view on the oceans is from space," says Thomas Zurbuchen, head of science at NASA. The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite will launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. NASA's live coverage of the event will start at 8:45AM PT on its website, with the launch expected to take place... |
| Biden transition team forced to build its own cybersecurity protections Posted: 20 Nov 2020 12:03 PM PST  President-elect Joe Biden is preparing to take over from President Donald Trump, but his transition team isn't getting the level of cybersecurity support usually provided by outgoing administrations, according to The Wall Street Journal. That could mean Biden's team is more vulnerable to cyberattacks than if it had the full support and resources of the federal government. Typically, a departing administration would help the transition team with things like setting up government email accounts and making sure those accounts are protected, reports The Wall Street Journal. But the Trump administration has stopped federal agencies from providing that support, leaving the Biden transition team to take care of its own cybersecurity. The team... |
| HBO’s The Last of Us TV show is actually happening Posted: 20 Nov 2020 11:27 AM PST  HBO's upcoming TV adaptation of The Last of Us just took a big step forward in actually happening: the network has given the show a series order, with series creator Neil Druckmann working as both a writer and executive producer alongside Craig Mazin (Chernobyl). HBO's Carolyn Strauss, who executive produced both Game of Thrones and Chernobyl, will also serve as an executive producer on The Last of Us. Per the official synopsis, the TV series seems to be adapting the first game in the series: "The story takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal,... |
