Quora Launches Troll-Free AMA "Writing Sessions"
Nov 19, 9:00PM
The chaos of Reddit’s Ask Me Anythings doesn’t lend itself to the most thoughtful answers. They’re short, plagued by trolls, and people who care about the topic or person might not know an AMA is happening until it’s over. So today, Quora is bringing an air of civility to the crowdsourced question hour with the launch of “Writing Sessions”. They’ll… Read MoreThe Evolution Of The Biohacking Ecosystem
Nov 19, 9:00PM
Silicon Valley efforts in the biology and health domains have recently seen increased public interest because of the questions around the legitimacy of Theranos’ technology and medical claims and the recent FDA approvals for a number of 23andMe’s genetic screens. These data points are just two of the most visible examples of a broad ecosystem of companies and startups in Silicon… Read MoreDon't Do It, Adele!
Nov 19, 8:49PM
It seems that Adele, an artist that I love nearly as much as Metallica — and that is my highest possible praise — will not stream her new album on Spotify. This has made me quite sad. In honor of Adele, our Overlord of Sad and Grand Duke of How Did You Sing That, TechCrunch has adapted, poorly, a verse and chorus from her hit single ‘Hello’ for our own needs. Yes,… Read MoreTubi TV Grabs $6 Million From MGM, Lionsgate And Others For Its Free, Ad-Supported Streaming Service

Nov 19, 8:00PM
Founded in 2009, Pure Storage entered an industry where incumbents, including EMC and HP, dominated for more than thirty years. Co-founders John “Coz” Colgrove and John Hayes knew that they would have to take a different approach to building and running a storage company if they were going to effectively compete with the massive incumbent players. To rethink storage, Coz and… Read MoreThe 20 Highest Paying Startup Unicorns
Nov 19, 7:35PM
It makes sense for unicorns, or startups valued at more than $1 billion, to use those means to attract top talent with more generous pay, but which of this magical herd pays employees the most? Read MoreFacebook Debuts The Digital Breakup With New Tools For Former Flames
Nov 19, 6:47PM
Breaking up is hard enough without having to see your ex’s newfound happiness flung in your face every time you log on to Facebook. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you want to unfriend or block your ex. There should be some middle ground. Today, Facebook says it will begin to experiment with new tools that will help people better manage these complicated relationships. The… Read MoreThis Week On The TechCrunch Bitcoin Podcast: Can You Count To 21?
Nov 19, 6:27PM
Hello friends, and welcome back to TCBTC, TechCrunch’s itinerant and sporadic podcast on all things bitcoin.

Nov 19, 6:23PM
Blockchain, blockchain, blockchain! It’s not the bitcoin anymore, right? Right (probably.) Join me at Disrupt London where I’ll be talking to Steve Waterhouse of Pantera Capital, Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum, and Austin Hill of BlockSteam. If anyone can make sense of the blockchain vs. bitcoin argument, it’s these guys. Waterhouse is an entrepreneur who is now partner at… Read MoreGoogle Hangout Participants No Longer Need A Google Account For Work Meetings
Nov 19, 6:16PM
If you’re an avid user of Google Hangouts at work, then this update will make you happy.

Nov 19, 5:30PM
From the far-reaching design impact made by Apple’s Jony Ive to the leadership of Sundar Pichai at Google, the tech space – and quite literally the world – would not be the same if countless world-class engineers, entrepreneurs, designers and disruptors hadn’t taken a leap of faith and brought their talents stateside.

Nov 19, 5:23PM
Social news aggregator Nuzzel is unveiling version 2.0 of its website and app — a version that CEO Jonathan Abrams described as “Nuzzel for Everyone.” Nuzzel previously worked by creating a feed of the most-shared stories from the people you follow on Twitter. You can still create that personalized news feed, but the service no longer requires a Twitter login. Instead, you… Read MoreSeatGeek Launches A Marketplace Where Anyone Can Sell And Transfer Tickets
Nov 19, 5:00PM
SeatGeek is already a solid way to score tickets for live events, but now you can use it to sell those tickets, too. In a sense, the tickets on SeatGeek are being resold already, but the model relied on aggregating tickets that were put up for sale on other sites. With today’s launch of the SeatGeek Marketplace, anyone can make their tickets available through SeatGeek itself. Read MoreTechCrunch Disrupt's Startup Alley Will Showcase Europe's Best

Nov 19, 4:00PM
Early websites were simple HTML. They followed a pattern of a long-form equation, with perfectly balanced sides. There was no CSS to make the HTML code appear a three-dimensional hyperbole, which it is today. I hated CSS then, and I still do today. I feel that designers, whom I both love and hate, took over my web. They took over my simple long-form HTML code and poured it in to the boiling… 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.
