| Joe Biden cancels Keystone XL permit Posted: 20 Jan 2021 05:21 PM PST  In one of his first actions in office, President Joe Biden issued an executive order on a broad range of environmental protections that included stopping construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. This is the second time a president has pumped the brakes on the embattled pipeline. Barack Obama denied a permit for the project in 2015. Then in 2017, Donald Trump reversed that decision and issued a permit. The order directed federal agencies to review environmental rollbacks made under the Trump Administration, according to the Huffington Post and The New York Times. That includes revisiting fuel efficiency standards, and the boundaries for the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante national monuments. It also... |
| Tim Cook gave the first Mac Pro to Trump, apparently Posted: 20 Jan 2021 05:09 PM PST  Tim Apple, as Trump once called him, didn't just give Donald Trump the opportunity to lie about bringing an Apple factory to the United States. He also gave him a $5,999 Mac Pro, according to Donald Trump's final financial disclosure report today (via the NY Times' David Enrich). The computer is described as the very first Mac Pro produced at the Flex Factory in Austin, Texas. That's also a lie: that factory has actually been producing Mac Pros since 2013.
Either way, $5,999 would... |
| Among Us developers explain why new features are taking a while Posted: 20 Jan 2021 04:25 PM PST  Among Us was one of the smash hits of 2020 — it reportedly had nearly half a billion players in November — and there are some exciting updates announced for the game, including a new airship map and an account system. In a blog posted yesterday, developer Innersloth discussed how it has adapted in response to the game's enormous popularity and why new features are taking a while to be released. "Among Us gained incredible traction pretty late into 2020 that we weren't expecting, and that meant A LOT of change for us," the developers said. Innersloth, which is comprised of just four employees, had to spend two months restructuring, figuring out processes, and working with new external partners, according to the blog. "It's all... |
| Metroid looks amazing in Lego — and could become real if you vote Posted: 20 Jan 2021 04:25 PM PST  If you want a Metroid Lego set, you have the power to bring the idea closer to reality. User L-DI-EGO has submitted a design on Lego's Ideas website that brings the block treatment to Samus and her gunship, but the site requires votes to get this concept in front of Lego itself (via Nintendo Life). Lego Ideas is an official site for users to submit their concepts and designs for the Lego company to consider, and where Lego fans can vote for their favorites. If a submission gets 10,000 votes, the Lego Group may turn it into a real product. Right now the Metroid concept has around 5,700 votes, so it's just over halfway. If you like the concept, you can go to the website to put your thumb on the scale. |
| Joe Biden halts US withdrawal from World Health Organization Posted: 20 Jan 2021 04:11 PM PST  In one of his first acts as president, Joe Biden walked back the former administration's plan to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, will participate in the organization's executive meeting this week, according to a fact sheet released by the Biden-Harris transition team. Donald Trump announced plans to cut ties with the WHO in late May, claiming that China had "total control" over the global health organization. Experts widely criticized the move, saying that it would be catastrophic for public health in the midst of a deadly pandemic. The US is a major funder for the WHO. At the time the withdrawal was announced,... |
| The US will rejoin the Paris climate agreement, but that was the easy part Posted: 20 Jan 2021 02:38 PM PST  President Joe Biden recommitted the US to the Paris climate accord during his first day in office, fulfilling one of his earliest campaign promises. In 30 days, the US will once again be part of the global accord. Rejoining the agreement is as easy as sending a letter to the secretary-general of the United Nations. What comes after that will be much harder. The US turned its back on efforts to tackle the climate crisis together as a planet when Donald Trump made the decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement. Trump decimated federal efforts to slash emissions within the US, and he stood by other right-wing leaders — like Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, who similarly... |
| Tech rallies behind Biden’s immigration plans Posted: 20 Jan 2021 02:33 PM PST  Hours after taking his oath of office on Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed several executive orders overturning actions taken by the Trump administration regarding immigration, and tech is rallying behind the move. Biden signed two executive orders Wednesday that extend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for another four years and overturn the Trump administration's travel bans on largely Muslim-majority countries. It's just the start of the Biden administration's immigration reform efforts. The administration also plans to drop a new bill that would provide 11 million undocumented immigrants with a pathway to citizenship and an eight-year waiting period before they can become permanent residents, according to P... |
| The Muppet Great Gatsby exists — in script form Posted: 20 Jan 2021 02:17 PM PST  Our desperate plea for a Muppets adaptation of The Great Gatsby has been answered: documentary filmmaker Ben Crew has taken the public domain novel and turned it into a downloadable 104-page fan-made script that marries Muppet antics with existential angst. My request for an adaptation may have been ridiculous, but this script seriously vindicates me. Crew's script, "Muppets Present 'The Great Gatsby,'" may be a silly mashup of a novel you're forced to read in high school and a puppet comedy variety show, but he said it became a meaningful project when January's news cycle became too much to bear. "I knew that there was nothing I could do about what was happening in D.C. and that if I didn't distract myself I was just going to waste away... |
| Inauguration Day was more accessible than ever, but there’s still a ways to go Posted: 20 Jan 2021 01:43 PM PST  Firefighter Andrea Hall put accessible communication front and center at the presidential inauguration today when she led the Pledge of Allegiance in both spoken English and Signed English. The inaugural committee also hosted several separate accessible live streams of the event on its YouTube page, including one with audio description, one with live captions and American Sign Language interpretation, and one with Cued Speech transliteration (the use of hand shapes to signal speech sounds). But despite those efforts, many deaf and hard of hearing viewers still found the inauguration inaccessible. Most broadcast stations didn't have an ASL interpreter on-screen and used automated captions, which are notoriously inaccurate. In what some... |
