| Imposters steal restaurants’ names in delivery app deception Posted: 08 Apr 2021 06:13 PM PDT  Ordering delivery through an app like DoorDash or GrubHub saves the trouble of cooking and lets you be a little picky — you can order from your favorite restaurant. But imagine receiving your food, sitting down to eat, and it tasting... different. And then, following your gut, you learn that you've been duped by a fake, an imposter restaurant that stole its name. For many people ordering from two Japanese restaurants in San Francisco, that exact thing may have happened, The San Francisco Chronicle reports. One restaurant, now styled as an izakaya called Chome, originally opened for delivery and takeout in the former location of Blowfish Sushi. Except it didn't bother to change the name, awning, or logo at the start. Chome, operating as... |
| Watch: Elon Musk’s Neuralink says this monkey is playing Pong with its mind Posted: 08 Apr 2021 06:03 PM PDT  Neuralink, Elon Musk's company focused on developing brain-machine interfaces, has posted a video to YouTube that appears to show a monkey navigating an on-screen cursor using only its mind. Pager, a 9-year-old macaque monkey, had a Neuralink implanted about six weeks before the video was shot, the video's unnamed narrator says. He was first taught to play video games with a joystick for a banana smoothie reward, delivered through a metal straw. While he was doing this, the Neuralink device recorded information about which neurons were firing — learning, essentially, to predict hand movements by recording which regions fired. After learning the patterns, the joystick Pager used to play was disconnected from the computer. The monkey... |
| PSA for US Congresspeople: here’s how to set your Venmo feed to private Posted: 08 Apr 2021 05:58 PM PDT  Hello, yes, it has come to my attention that Matt Gaetz left his Venmo feed public and The Daily Beast has used this public feed to report a salacious story about his transactions. Yeah, you read that right. His Venmo feed was public. People have been warning about Venmo's public feeds for quite some time. You can figure out a lot about a person by monitoring their financial transactions through Venmo! In Gaetz's case, we found out he sent money — $900, in two transactions— to Joel Greenberg, who is accused of sex trafficking. The morning after Gaetz sent money, Greenberg sent three young women sums of money that totaled...... |
| Students of color are getting flagged to their teachers because testing software can’t see them Posted: 08 Apr 2021 05:34 PM PDT  Proctorio, a piece of exam surveillance software designed to keep students from cheating while taking tests, relies on open-source software that has a history of racial bias issues, according to a report by Motherboard. The issue was discovered by a student who figured out how the software did facial detection, and discovered that it fails to recognize black faces over half the time. Proctorio, and other programs like it, is designed to keep an eye on students while they're taking tests. However, many students of color have reported that they have issues getting the software to see their faces — sometimes having to resort to extreme measures to get the software to recognize them. This could potentially cause the students problems:... |
| Another 500 million accounts have leaked online, and LinkedIn’s in the hot seat Posted: 08 Apr 2021 04:47 PM PDT  You might still be reeling from the news that personal information from 533 million Facebook accounts has been made freely available online. But now there's another huge batch of people's data floating around the web — including data from LinkedIn, the Microsoft-owned social network confirmed. And the potential scope of the leak is huge: an individual selling the data on a hacker forum claims it was scraped from 500 million LinkedIn profiles, according to CyberNews. In a purported sample of two million of the profiles for sale, LinkedIn members' full names, email addresses, phone numbers, genders, and more were visible, CyberNews found. LinkedIn, however, says the data includes information from many places and wasn't all scraped from the... |
| This webcam dares to ask: what if the panopticon had flesh? Posted: 08 Apr 2021 04:10 PM PDT  Many digital eyes and ears are on us as we move about our daily lives. Surveillance cameras watch us on the street and smart devices listen for us in our homes. What if some of that watching happened through an expressive simulacrum of a human eye? Researcher Marc Teyssier took it upon himself to craft such a device, giving a webcam synthetic flesh and a moving eyeball, complete with brow and lashes. Observe: the Eyecam. You can see it in action – blinking, glancing, emoting – in the video below, which also commands us to use our imaginations:

| Avengers Campus is finally opening at Disneyland on June 4th, complete with aerial Spider-Man robot Posted: 08 Apr 2021 04:08 PM PDT  After being delayed for almost a year because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Avengers Campus will finally open at Disneyland, specifically at the Disney's California Adventure park in Anaheim, California on June 4th, according to the company (via CNBC). The new area will bring Marvel Cinematic Universe characters into the physical space. CNBC reported the Avengers Campus will include character meet-and-greets with Thor, Black Panther, Black Widow, and other MCU heroes (and villains). It'll feature a new Spider-Man ride as well as the existing Guardians of the Galaxy rescue mission — plus the debut of the flying Spider-Man stunt double robot the company has been teasing for years. Here's the company's extremely brief video tour: "... |
| Nike and MSCHF settle Satan Shoe lawsuit, say any ‘confused’ buyers can get a refund Posted: 08 Apr 2021 03:22 PM PDT Nike and the internet collective MSCHF have settled their trademark dispute over a run of unofficially modified Satan-themed Nike sneakers. Neither company disclosed the terms of the deal. But it apparently includes an offer to let customers return their $1,018 "Satan Shoes" — or a pair of MSCHF's earlier "Jesus Shoes" — for a full refund. In a statement to The Verge, MSCHF's attorneys said they were "pleased" with the settlement over the shoes, which were designed in collaboration with rapper Lil Nas X. "With these Satan Shoes — which sold out in less than a minute — MSCHF intended to comment on the absurdity of the collaboration culture practiced by some brands, and about the perniciousness of intolerance," the attorneys said. They... |
| Facebook and Instagram appear to have recovered after brief outage Posted: 08 Apr 2021 03:15 PM PDT  Facebook and Instagram were down on Thursday afternoon. The outage appeared to start around 5:30PM ET, with several thousand people reporting outages on DownDetector. The outage is the second one in less than a month from the social media giant; an outage on March 19th took its sites offline for several hours. Facebook returned a "sorry something went wrong" error message: The company didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from The Verge on the cause of the outage; it's unclear at this time when service will be fully restored. The outage appeared to affect Facebook's internal websites as well, first noted in a tweet from developer Jane Wong. Even Facebook's outage dashboard appeared to be having problems. S... |
| YouTuber records himself trespassing at SpaceX’s Starship facilities Posted: 08 Apr 2021 02:25 PM PDT  A YouTuber recorded himself entering SpaceX's Starship rocket facilities in south Texas last month, freely sauntering on site. No security stopped him from wandering around the underside of SN11, the 16-story-tall rocket prototype that would launch and explode just a few days later. The video was posted to a small YouTube channel called Loco VlogS, which is run by "Caesar." Caesar did not respond to multiple emails and DMs asking for comment. For space enthusiasts, SpaceX's sprawling rocket campus in Texas just a few miles north of the Rio Grande is a tantalizing museum of rocketry just laying out in the open, housing millions of dollars worth of tech — some of which SpaceX has pitched to the Air Force and NASA. It doesn't have the... |
