How international startups are supporting New York City
Mar 19, 1:00AM
Immigrants make up 13.3 percent of the population in the U.S., which is the highest percentage the country has seen in more than 100 years. Now let’s put this into perspective: Thirty-six percent of all top tech founders in the U.S. are immigrants — almost triple the percentage of immigrants in the country. Many immigrants are pushing innovation in the U.S, aiding the country… Read MoreJury awards Hulk Hogan $115M in sex tape lawsuit against Gawker
Mar 19, 12:15AM
A Florida jury sided today with wrestling star Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bolea) in his lawsuit against Gawker. Hogan was awarded $115 million — $55 million for economic injuries and $60 million for emotional distress. That’s even more than the $100 million that Hogan was seeking, and the jury’s scheduled to return Monday to deal with punitive damages on top of that.… Read MoreThis system instantly edits videos to make it look like you're saying something you're not
Mar 18, 11:09PM
Once upon a time, a photo of something was enough to believe it was real. Sure, you’d have to deal with the occasional Big Foot hoax, but for the most part, those who had the time or talent to create believable fakes were in the minority. Read More2016 Honda Civic: autonomous features for $20K
Mar 18, 10:07PM
When NHTSA announced yesterday that 20 manufacturers had agreed to include automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems as standard equipment on all new cars by 2022, many people noted that plenty of cars you can buy right now have this technology on board. You might think that in 2016, this is expensive equipment available only on luxury cars, but the Honda Civic sedan would beg to differ.… Read MoreJack Dorsey says Twitter is keeping its 140-character limit, but maybe don't get too excited
Mar 18, 9:57PM
Has Twitter reversed course on plans to increase the character limit on tweets? That’s what you might think when reading the press coverage of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s appearance on The Today Show, but I’m not convinced that there was really a big change of heart. You may recall Re/code’s report in January that Twitter was looking at a “10,000 character limit… Read MoreMeter Feeder lets you ditch coins and codes, pay for parking with GPS
Mar 18, 8:52PM
Parking tickets actually earn cities less money than when people pay the meters like they should. The problem is that even new meters that let you pay by phone or credit are such a hassle that people don’t use them — and hope they don’t get caught. But Y Combinator startup Meter Feeder has built a way to pay for parking that is easier for citizens, cheaper for cities and… Read MoreSoundCloud confirms its deal with Sony Music, paving the way for its subscription service's launch
Mar 18, 8:43PM
Streaming music service SoundCloud today announced that it has finalized a deal with Sony Music, confirming reports from earlier this week citing sources who claimed the deal had finally been done. The deal will increase the number of songs listeners can access via SoundCloud and will allow Sony Music Entertainment artists to make money off of their tracks hosted on SoundCloud’s… Read MoreGillmor Gang LIVE 03.18.16

Mar 18, 8:00PM
From Hercules to Superman, humankind has always been fascinated by characters who defy the natural limits of the human body. Scientists haven’t yet figured out how to give us flight, but we know that increased cognition, strength and motor function are all possible using neurostimulation. This technology, which carefully applies magnetic or electrical energy to the brain, can make us… Read MoreCoach gives tutors and other freelancers tools to build an online business
Mar 18, 7:33PM
If you’re a tutor looking to offer your services online, a startup called Coach aims to give you the tools you need. CEO Spencer Fry created a similar platform, in some ways, when he co-founded CarbonMade, which offers designers and artists an easy way to showcase their portfolios online. He said there’s a bigger challenge with Coach, though, because there are more pieces to… Read MoreSexism is still a thing at Microsoft's GDC party
Mar 18, 6:31PM
Microsoft hired a bunch of women wearing very little clothing to dance and socialize with people at the company’s official Game Developers Conference after-party last night in San Francisco, Business Insider reports. It’s crazy that Microsoft would so blatantly sexualize women — for a few reasons. For one, don’t tech companies realize that it’s not okay to do… Read MoreI tried out Nike's self-tying shoes, the HyperAdapt 1.0
Mar 18, 5:36PM
I’ve spent a lot of time over the past few days with the folks at Nike, who were showing off a whole bunch of new and upcoming products at their Innovation for Everybody event. The big attention-getter was the HyperAdapt 1.0 — namely, self-tying shoes. Nike had already toyed with the idea of emulating Back To The Future Part II by announcing limited edition, self-lacing Nike Mags… Read MoreGet ready for the new iPad
Mar 18, 5:29PM
Rumor has it that Apple is about to introduce a successor to the iPad Air 2 at next week’s press conference. According to 9to5mac’s Mark Gurman, the device could move away from the $499 entry-level price. Next week’s 9.7-inch iPad could start at $599 with 32GB of storage. Read MoreCoreOS takes its Clair container security tool out of beta
Mar 18, 5:21PM
CoreOS announced the first preview of Clair, a tool that scans Docker containers for security vulnerabilities, last November and today, with the launch of Clair 1.0, it is ready to take the beta label off the service. Given that developers often rely on pre-packaged containers — or regularly recycle the same ones — ensuring that the software included in them is safe to run is… Read MoreSony's PlayStation VR headset bundle will cost $500, pre-orders start March 22
Mar 18, 5:19PM
Earlier this week, Sony announced that its PlayStation VR would be available for the low price of just $399. Given that competing VR headsets like the Oculus are at least $200 more expensive, people were pretty excited about it. In fact, purchases of the PlayStation camera went up 3000 percent on Amazon (Move controllers went up 1000 percent), according to Ars Technica. Turns out, interest in… Read MoreChatfuel lets publishers — and anyone — build bots for messaging apps
Mar 18, 5:10PM
Chat has become the center of the smartphone universe, so it makes sense that bots are being used to deliver information in a convenient and engaging manner. But how do brands or media companies get started and create a bot? That’s where Chatfuel, a company that’s currently going through Y Combinator, is looking to make its mark. Read MoreGrammy-nominated rapper Wale discusses technology, startups, and social media
Mar 18, 5:09PM
I recently sat down with Grammy-nominated rapper Wale to talk about his views on technology, social media, and the music industry. Like most artists, Wale has a dedicated following on all major social media platforms, and has an interesting perspective on how each one gives him a different relationship with his fans. He is also a pretty avid gamer, and uses video games as a way to unwind… Read MoreProgress lets you visualize your weight loss by taking perfectly aligned daily selfies
Mar 18, 5:02PM
For those who struggle with their weight, one of the more challenging things to deal with beyond, of course, the lifestyle changes that have to accompany any attempts at weight reduction, is our inability to see our own progress. Because weight loss is often very slow and incremental, many get frustrated with a perceived lack of results and then give up. A new application called Progress wants… Read MoreYC-backed Perlstein Lab continues their rare disease drug discovery
Mar 18, 4:58PM
Perlstein Lab, or PLab as it is also known, continues to hone its automated drug discovery platform and presents its latest iteration Wednesday March 23rd at Y Combinator Demo Day. The platform they created helps the bio startup focus on finding cures for rare diseases rather than common ones. This novel approach is different from most Big Pharma labs and is thus one of their differentiators. Read MoreEvernote's founding CTO Dave Engberg is leaving in May; new wave of execs announced
Mar 18, 4:29PM
We’ve been documenting Evernote’s decline in the last several months, and today comes two more waves of news that speak both to how the company continues to be in turmoil, but is also trying to rebuild itself. TechCrunch has learned that Dave Engberg, the company’s founding CTO, is leaving the company in May. The news comes at the same time that CEO Chris O’Neill… 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.
