If You Want Tech Freedom, Congress Needs To Change A Law
Nov 15, 9:00PM
Freedom is critical to the economic engine of Silicon Valley, but laws are not often written to preserve it. A federal decision in October let consumers unlock cell phones, tinker with their tablets and hack into some aspects of their connected vehicles’ software — as long as they don’t break other laws. Unfortunately, this decision has to be renewed every three years, through… Read MoreFacebook Says It Will Enable Safety Check During More Human Disasters, Following Criticism
Nov 15, 5:55PM
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg committed to turning on Safety Check in more human disasters going forward, responding to criticism that the company turned on its safety feature for Paris but not for Beirut and other bombings. Zuckerberg explained that the Paris terror attacks marked the first time the company has enabled Safety Check for a human disaster, not a natural disaster like an… Read MoreAmerica's Whitest City Explodes With A Fusion Of Inclusion
Nov 15, 4:00PM
It’s tough to see at first glance that diversity matters in Portland, Oregon. After all, Portlandia is widely known as the “whitest city in America.” But hidden within this environmentally friendly rain-soaked scenic city, there are intentional efforts ongoing in economic gardening across multiple community sectors to cultivate the growth of a diverse landscape of job creators.

Nov 15, 9:15AM
Before the robots replace us we will make love to them. This point is becoming increasingly clear as I wander through the odd world of teledildonics and marvel at the leaps and bounds by which the technology – once in the realm of fantasy – has become a mundane reality. If you are skittish or squeamish about human sexuality I beseech you to click out right now or visit another,… Read MoreCivic Tech Brings Power And Positivity To The People
Nov 15, 3:00AM
People have long had a complicated relationship with their governments — a tension that is often exacerbated by government policies and processes that cannot keep pace with today’s on-demand culture. It doesn’t have to be like this. The tech community — especially those working in civic tech — know this to be true. From enabling crowdfunding campaigns to… Read MoreWhat To Do If Your Lead Investor Asks For ESOP
Nov 14, 11:00PM
As valuations continue to rise, early stage VCs are getting more “creative” with their deal structuring. In particular, I’ve seen a rise in requests for ESOP shares to be allocated to lead investors for their “value added services.” It’s common to give ESOP to advisors for their value add, so why not investors? Read More2016 Will Be The Year Of The Sales Stack
Nov 14, 8:00PM
Selling is a competitive sport, and quota-seeking salespeople are the athletes of that sport: They are scored and compared, there are frontrunners and underdogs and there are winners and losers. Confronted by today’s more informed customer who has readily available competitive, pricing and rating data, salespeople are facing unprecedented pressure to perform — they are expected to… Read MoreFanDuel And DraftKings Fight Back, File Lawsuits Against NY Attorney General
Nov 14, 6:36PM
After NY’s Attorney General ordered DraftKings and FanDuel to cease and desist all operations in the state, the two companies have responded, filing lawsuits seeking an injunction against the order. “Today, we have taken decisive legal action to prevent a unilateral, misinformed and legally misguided attempt by the New York Attorney General to act as “judge, jury and… Read MoreReview: Brilliant Bicycle, A Bike That Thinks Outside The Box
Nov 14, 6:10PM
When my Brilliant Bicycle arrived in the mail last week, I had a minor epiphany: I’ve never actually purchased a bike on my own before. When I was young my parents chose my bike, and though I spent a few months on a borrowed bike in Europe, I have very little knowledge when it comes to making bike-based purchasing decisions. Sure, some folks have been cyclists since before the… Read MoreAt GitHub You Don't Need No Stinkin' Office, But There Is A Nice One If You Do
Nov 14, 4:45PM
If you want to work for GitHub, the software development collaboration hub built on the open source Git project, you have to be independent and able to work outside the confines of what most organizations would consider normal operational guidelines. You don’t have to come to the office. In fact, you are encouraged to work where you want in the world at whatever timing makes sense for you. Read MoreThe Influence Of Education On The 3D Printing Industry
Nov 14, 4:00PM
You probably don’t own a 3D printer yet. Like computers in the early 1980s, it’s an intriguing new technology that hasn’t quite found its place in the home. However, schools and universities are proving to be a petri dish of innovation, where there is an existing space for experimentation and practical application, as well as palpable enthusiasm for the technology among… Read MoreEvernote's Freshly Minted COO Linda Kozlowski Is Leaving The Company
Nov 14, 3:05PM
Evernote made a name for itself as the platform where you could store your ideas and notes for life, and beyond. But the same permanence does not apply to the people who work there. We’ve confirmed through multiple sources that Linda Kozlowski, Evernote’s COO, has put in her notice and will be leaving the company by the end of this year. It’s the latest in a series of… Read MoreThe Culling Of The Herd
Nov 14, 2:00PM
I don’t care about valuations. But I do care about the tech industry as the most powerful means for the promulgation of new / cool / interesting / important technology; and the tremors running through the industry of late, as the so-called “unicorns” begin to tremble and quake, are hard to ignore. Evernote. Dropbox. Square. Theranos. Snapchat. IPO down rounds. Read MoreTech Infrastructure In The Developing World
Nov 14, 7:00AM
More than a billion people do not have access to cellular networks, three billion people live without phones and five billion people do without Internet access. While billions became connected to phone and Internet networks over the past decade, huge numbers of people are still underserved by these networks. The existing telecom and Internet infrastructure faces a tremendous challenge in… Read More500px Launches Its Photo Sharing And Licensing Platform In China
Nov 14, 5:32AM
500px, the photography platform where users post and share, as well as buy and sell photos, has become the latest Western technology company to enter China. The Toronto-based startup launched a localized version of its service in China — 500px.me — this week, following an initial trial period. Read MoreThe Last CrunchWeek
Nov 13, 11:44PM
Hello friends, and welcome to the very last CrunchWeek. After a three-year run, this little show is over. Sometimes things change. Regardless, it was a pleasure to send off this particular ship into the void flanked by Megan Rose Dickey and Matthew Lynley, two humans that I hold in the highest regard.

Nov 13, 11:00PM
Record companies, advertising firms, film studios, and television networks are all being forced to change the way they think about doing business in the age of the internet. Read MoreInfluencer Marketing Startup Mavrck Raises $5M
Nov 13, 9:33PM
Mavrck, a startup that helps marketers recruit customers to create promotional content, has raised $5 million in Series A funding. There are plenty of other companies working on influencer marketing, but Mavrck co-founder and CEO Lyle Stevens said they usually identify influencers without helping brands “activate” them, or they’re focused on how to “rent”… Read MoreTim Cook On Apple Employees Refusing To Let Black Students Enter Store: Customer Respect Is The Foundation Of Everything Apple Does
Nov 13, 9:09PM
Earlier this week, Apple Store employees at the Highpoint Shopping Centre in Melbourne, Australia, asked a group of black students to leave the store because they worried they might “steal something.” Apple has since apologized to the students, and Apple CEO Tim Cook recently sent out a company-wide email, obtained by BuzzFeed, in which he called what happened (see below) an… Read More
How "Failing Forward" Can End In A Lawsuit
Nov 13, 9:00PM
Can you imagine a world where an entrepreneur could be sued for refusing to give up? A world where starting over could attract a lawsuit? We live in that world. It has happened before, and it will happen again. Startups die, but the entrepreneurial spirit dies hard. After a failure, some founders may want to work on an entirely new project, but others refuse to let go, and give the same… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
