| Mercedes recalling more than 1 million vehicles over emergency-call tech issue Posted: 13 Feb 2021 03:18 PM PST  Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 1.29 million vehicles because of a failure in its eCall software which may not provide a vehicle's correct location to emergency responders after a crash, Car and Driver reported. The recall covers vehicles sold from model years 2016 to 2021 and includes CLA-Class, GLA-Class, GLE-Class, GLS-Class, SLC-Class, A-Class, GT-Class, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, CLS-Class, SL-Class, B-Class, GLB-Class, GLC-Class, and G-Class vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The automaker said it was unaware of any instances of material damages or personal injuries that have resulted from the issue, and plans to provide a free software update to be installed over the air or at dealerships.... |
| Google updates its iOS YouTube app, the first update to one of its major iOS apps since December Posted: 13 Feb 2021 01:40 PM PST  Google has provided a bug fix to its iOS YouTube app, the first update to a major Google iOS app since December, 9to5Google reports. Although there's been speculation that the reason for the lack of updates to iOS versions of Gmail, Docs, Search, and Photos is an attempt to avoid Apple's new privacy labels, Google has explicitly denied that was the case. The company said in a January 12th blog post it would add the labels to its apps when updates were available:

| Go read this New York Times report on SlateStarCodex and Silicon Valley tech leaders Posted: 13 Feb 2021 12:37 PM PST  Last year, the pseudonymous writer behind the SlateStarCodex blog abruptly shut it down, claiming a forthcoming story from The New York Times was going to reveal his real name and potentially put him in danger. Reporter Cade Metz says he was able to easily find the blogger's real name —Scott Siskind— online. After a farewell post on the blog, Metz says he and his editor were harassed online by its angry fans. Now, Metz's reporting on SlateStarCodex and the philosophical views that made it so popular is finally here. It's a compelling look at the mindset among many in Silicon Valley's tech industry.

| CEOs of Reddit and Robinhood and ‘Roaring Kitty’ slated to testify in GameStop hearing Posted: 13 Feb 2021 09:42 AM PST  Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, Robinhood co-CEO Vlad Tenev, and Keith Gill (aka Roaring Kitty) are all on the witness list for an upcoming hearing before the House Financial Services Committee, according to a release from Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA). The hearing, to be conducted virtually, will probe the recent volatility in shares of GameStop following a rally fueled by a group of day traders active on the r/WallStreetBets Reddit board. Over a two-week period that began last month, GameStop's stock (GME) skyrocketed by 500 percent, hitting a high of $483 on January 28th. Several government entities are now looking into whether there was market manipulation involved, and whether Robinhood and other brokerages that temporarily restricted... |
| Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Donald Glover to star in Amazon’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith series Posted: 13 Feb 2021 08:27 AM PST  Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Donald Glover will star in a new Amazon Prime Video series based on the 2005 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The movie starred Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as a pair of married killers-for-hire who are assigned to assassinate each other. I am trying to envision what Waller-Bridge's Fleabag character would make of this news and whether her Mrs. Smith will make the asides to the camera that Fleabag was known for (please do). And! This not the first time the two stars have been in the same production; both were in the 2018 Disney movie Solo: A Star Wars Story, he as a young becaped Lando Calrissian and she as snarky droid L3-37. Glover made the announcement via a story on his Childish Gambino Instagram page, which was... |
| Netflix is making a Redwall movie, and The Verge staff is very excited Posted: 13 Feb 2021 08:00 AM PST  Earlier this week, Netflix dropped a surprise announcement that it's adapting author Brian Jacques' iconic Redwall books into a new animated movie and TV franchise. Based on the 22-book children's series that was published from 1986 through 2011, the books span generations of sword-fighting anthropomorphic mice, rabbits, badgers, and other woodland creatures living at the titular Redwall Abbey. While the show was previously made into a TV series back in the late '90s, it's never been adapted with the scale (or presumably, the budget) of a Netflix feature film. Many of us here at The Verge are longtime fans of the series. Here's how we're taking the news. What were your initial thoughts on a Redwall adaptation? Chaim Gartenberg: I... |
| Vaccine rollout won’t be equitable unless health care reckons with racism Posted: 13 Feb 2021 07:00 AM PST  The pandemic has been anything but "the great equalizer" that some people called it when it started more than a year ago. Here in the US, COVID-19 has sickened and killed a disproportionate number of Black, Native American, and Latinx people. Vaccine rollout is proving to be inequitable, too. Black and Latinx elders in Los Angeles, for example, have been vaccinated at a lower rate than their white and Asian American counterparts. Distrust in vaccines has been a challenge across the board. But Black Americans were less inclined than other racial and ethnic groups to want to get vaccinated, according to a Pew Research Center survey from December. To fix a system that isn't fully serving Black Americans and other people of color, "There... |
| Minneapolis prohibits use of facial recognition software by its police department Posted: 13 Feb 2021 06:48 AM PST  The Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously on Friday to approve an ordinance banning the use of facial recognition software by its police department and other city agencies, the Star Tribune reported. The ban adds Minneapolis to the list of US cities moving to limit or end the use of such technology by its law enforcement officers and city employees. But Minneapolis police chief Medaria Arradondo said in a statement that the ban was created without feedback from him, and that he believes it's possible for facial recognition technology to be "utilized in accordance with data privacy and other citizen legal protections," according to the Star Tribune. Facial recognition software has been found to have age, race, and ethnic biases, and... |
