From the very beginning, Google Stadia and YouTube were supposed to work together — thanks to the magic of cloud computing, you'd be able to click a YouTube ad to instantly begin playing a game, YouTubers would be able to invite their viewers to instantly join their game, and — perhaps most importantly — creators would be able to instantly, effortlessly be able to livestream their Stadia games to YouTube just by pressing a button on the controller.

None of those things happened at Stadia's launch last November, but the biggest one is apparently arriving tomorrow: every Stadia user will be able to livestream directly to YouTube starting tomorrow, a representative confirms to The Verge.

This afternoon, 9to5Google noticed that the feature...

Second judge says Trump can’t ban TikTok

A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction that should keep the US Commerce Department from banning transactions with TikTok.

The Trump administration issued an executive order on August 6th that would have blocked transactions between US companies and TikTok and WeChat's Chinese parent companies, ByteDance and Tencent. Trump declared TikTok and WeChat a "national emergency," citing privacy and security concerns. That order invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a law that allows Trump to ban transactions between the US and foreign entities.

However, in his opinion accompanying today's decision, US district judge Carl Nichols said that "the...

Eight months ago, Deborah Birx of the White House Coronavirus Task Force praised Florida's COVID-19 dashboard as an example of "the kind of knowledge and power we need to put into the hands of the American people." That dashboard was built by Rebekah Jones.

But in May, Jones was fired by the Florida Department of Health for reportedly refusing to manipulate that data to justify reopening the state — and now, Florida state police have raided her home and taken the equipment she was using to maintain a new, independent COVID-19 tracker of her own.

Jones posted a series of tweets about the incident, including a video of police entering — with guns drawn.

COVID-19 vaccine monitoring program may be at risk of false reports

A text-messaging program to monitor any side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine may be open to manipulation, The Washington Post reports. Experts worry that the newly-developed system focuses more on ease of use than security.

The program, called v-safe, is being developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to check in with people after they've received a COVID-19 vaccine. After getting a shot, they'll be given a piece of paper with a QR code, which lets them sign up to receive texts. The texts will direct them to online surveys that ask questions about any symptoms someone experienced after receiving the vaccine.

Other vaccine safety monitoring systems that have been in place for decades, including the Vaccine...

Apple and Google’s COVID contact tracing tech is finally coming to their home state of California

After a month of testing on university campuses, California's governor just announced that the state is launching its COVID contact tracing app to the public this Thursday, December 10th. The app is called CA Notify, and its launch makes California the 18th state (plus Washington, DC) to release a contact tracing app. It's also the largest to have done so since the technology was announced in April. The first app of its kind was released in Virginia back in August, so it's been quite a long time coming, especially considering California is home to Apple and Google, the two companies that developed the contact tracing technology the app uses.

Apple CEO Tim Cook and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai have tweeted in support of the app:

The Federal Communications Commission announced $9.2 billion in awards to companies providing broadband internet to rural areas across the US, and Elon Musk's SpaceX was one of the biggest winners. The company will receive $886 million over the next 10 years for its Starlink satellite broadband project, under the Federal Communication Commission's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund.

Starlink is SpaceX's constellation of satellites that will fly at low altitudes around the Earth, providing internet on the ground below. SpaceX already has launched 900 of the planned 12,000 satellites needed for the Starlink system into low-Earth orbit. Musk has said the company needs 800 satellites in space to provide "significant operational capabilities." S...

Uber’s fraught and deadly pursuit of self-driving cars is over

Posted: 07 Dec 2020 01:05 PM PST

Uber is selling its autonomous vehicle business to Aurora Innovations, a San Francisco-based startup founded by the former head engineer of Google's self-driving car project, the two companies announced Monday.

As part of the deal, Aurora's self-driving cars will eventually operate on Uber's ride-hailing platform. Uber will invest $400 million in Aurora and Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi will join the startup's board of directors.

It's unclear whether the acquisition will result in any layoffs. "Aurora has committed to making offers to the majority of ATG employees," an Uber spokesperson said. "We are working through the details with Aurora and will notify our teams in the coming weeks."

The deal marks the end of Uber's ambitious dream of...
