| Virgin Galactic spaceplane VSS Unity completes successful flight Posted: 22 May 2021 02:51 PM PDT  Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic completed its first successful space flight in more than two years on Saturday, with its crewed VSS Unity spacecraft carried to an altitude of more than 44,000 feet before gliding safely back to Earth. It marked the first spaceflight from New Mexico, making it the third US state to launch humans into space. The Zia sun symbol of New Mexico's state flag was displayed on the outside of the ship. Virgin's VMS Eve carrier aircraft took off from Spaceport America in New Mexico at about 10:35AM ET with Unity aboard. About 10 minutes before its release, Unity switched to its own battery power, and conducted flight control and electrical checks. Once released by Eve, Unity's pilots C.J. Sturckow and Dave Mackay... |
| Aerion Supersonic, which planned to make silent, fast business jets, is shutting down Posted: 22 May 2021 01:17 PM PDT  Aerion Supersonic, which had plans to build silent business jets that would travel twice as fast as most commercial airplanes, is shutting down operations. First reported by Florida Today, Aerion, which had backing from Boeing, said it was unable to raise the money to build its AS2 supersonic jet. "The AS2 supersonic business jet program meets all market, technical, regulatory and sustainability requirements and the market for a new supersonic segment of general aviation has been validated with $11.2 billion in sales backlog for the AS2," the company said in an statement emailed to The Verge on Saturday. "However, in the current financial environment, it has proven hugely challenging to close on the scheduled and necessary large new... |
| Chinese startup Pony.ai gets approval to test driverless vehicles in California Posted: 22 May 2021 12:09 PM PDT  Chinese autonomous vehicle startup Pony.ai has received a permit from California's Department of Motor Vehicles to test its driverless cars without human safety drivers behind the wheel on specified streets in three cities. Pony has been authorized to test autonomous vehicles with safety drivers in California since 2017, but the new permit will let it test six autonomous vehicles without safety drivers on specific streets in Fremont, Alameda County; Milpitas, Santa Clara County; and Irvine, Orange County. According to the DMV, the vehicles are designed to be driven on roads with speed limits of 45 miles per hour or less, in clear weather and light precipitation. The first testing will be in Fremont and Milpitas on weekdays between 10AM... |
| Apple says HomePod and HomePod Mini will support lossless audio after future update Posted: 22 May 2021 09:08 AM PDT  In a new support document on its website, Apple dives a little deeper into the details around the upcoming launch of lossless audio on Apple Music. Apple now says that both the HomePod and HomePod Mini will support lossless audio after a future software update. That'll be good news to people who've invested in one or a pair of Apple's smart speakers. Two HomePods grouped in stereo playing a lossless source? Yeah, that's going to sound wonderful. Apple isn't yet giving any timetable for when this software update will be released, however. The document also clarifies that the Apple TV 4K will only support standard lossless audio when the ALAC files become available in June. Apple has said that in most cases, the "Hi-Res Lossless" tier... |
| Tim Cook’s Fortnite trial testimony was unexpectedly revealing Posted: 22 May 2021 08:35 AM PDT  The Epic v. Apple trial was bookended by Tims. Epic Games called its CEO Tim Sweeney as the first witness nearly three weeks ago. Yesterday, Apple called Tim Cook as the last to take the stand, before both sides make their final case to a judge on Monday. Cook was supposed to bring home Apple's defense of its ecosystem. He did it by laying out Apple's most high-minded principles — but also its hard financial calculations. Epic v. Apple covers two separate issues: whether the market for in-app purchases within the App Store is unfairly monopolistic, and whether iOS itself is a monopoly that should be opened up to third-party stores and side-loaded apps. Cook addressed both with an appeal to user safety and privacy. "Privacy from our point... |

| Home Sick Pilots is a haunted house story with a punk rock edge Posted: 22 May 2021 08:00 AM PDT  Comics have never been bigger: with Marvel TV shows, DC movies, and indie adaptations growing by the day, comic books have never been more prominent in pop culture. This biweekly Verge column recommends comic series new and old, whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer. Haunted house stories are usually pretty dreary. It helps with the horror: a bleak old house covered in shadows so that you can't see what's around the corner. But Home Sick Pilots goes in a different direction. It's still dark and spooky, but it's also incredibly vibrant — thanks in large part to its punk rock edge. What is it? Home Sick Pilots is an ongoing series from Image Comics — the run is currently five issues deep — about a girl named Amida, her band, and a... |

| Time, money, and the new vaccination push Posted: 22 May 2021 07:00 AM PDT  In the US, COVID-19 vaccines are free, but it turns out that money is still a big barrier to vaccination. See, even though the vaccines don't cost a thing, it still takes time to go and get a shot and potentially recover from any side effects. For working adults, that may mean taking time off work — and that isn't something that everyone can afford to do. Black and Hispanic people are particularly concerned about the tradeoff between missing work and getting the vaccine, according to new results from research published by the Kaiser Family Foundation this week. People in both demographics are more likely than their white counterparts to work lower-paying jobs, which may not offer as much paid leave for things like illness. Those... |
| ‘Transgender’ will be among more than 350 new tags Twitch is adding next week Posted: 22 May 2021 06:58 AM PDT  Starting next week, streaming platform Twitch will add more than 350 new community tags to its platform related to gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, ability, and mental health, the company said in a new blog post. The list of tags will include transgender, Black, disabled, veteran, and Vtuber, Twitch said, and it will remove the "ally " references from its LGBTQIA tag, in favor of a new standalone ally tag. The platform thanked its trans community for pushing for a transgender tag, and admitted "the simple truth is we should have done this sooner." Twitch reportedly had resisted adding a transgender tag over concerns about targeted harassment. "When we launched tags in 2018, we did so to boost discovery, to help creators... |
