Tesla's weird week
Jun 11, 5:15AM
It’s been a weird few days for Tesla. In a span of just 72 hours the Model S was accused of having major suspension issues, the NHTSA supposedly got involved, Tesla explained that there is nothing wrong and the NHTSA isn’t actually investigating the issue, and Elon Musk tweeted that the whole thing was a giant conspiracy. Woah. Ok, let’s take a step back and dissect… Read MoreStudents demonstrate their Hololens apps after a quarter of VR and AR design
Jun 11, 1:33AM
It’s just about impossible to get your hands on Microsoft’s impressive mixed-reality Hololens platform these days — unless you’re a computer science student at the University of Washington. Then you get to play with them whenever you want. Read MoreWhatever happened to MCNs?
Jun 11, 1:00AM
Remember MCNs? Those quaint multi-channel networks — aggregators of YouTube channels — that generally focused on a specific vertical audience? In the past year or so, something curious happened — companies shied away from the “MCN” moniker. Some did so violently, contending they were never MCNs in the first place. Here the five reasons this happened. Read MoreWhat Pinterest learned in two years working on its search engine
Jun 11, 12:17AM
About two years ago, Pinterest launched a different flavor of search engine called Guided Search. Instead of relying on deep data on the user, it would create a network of related topics that users can dive deep into. The idea being that a search like “iPhone” would net additional categories, like “design,” “hardware” and such. Now Guided Search is about… Read MoreCrunch Report | Gawker Files For Bankruptcy

Jun 11, 12:09AM
Dango is an emoji suggestion chatbot — wait, where are you going? Stay with me, this is actually pretty cool. Okay, so Dango is one of those virtual assistants that lives in your chat apps, and this one is based on a neural network that has been trained with millions of examples to understand what emoji mean. So not only can it suggest an appropriate one, but it can translate entire… Read MoreBen Lerer, Gary Vaynerchuk and Andy Dunn join the board of nonprofit RaisedBy.Us

RaisedBy.Us, an organization that facilitates charitable giving at startups, has added three entrepreneurs and investors to its board of directors — Thrillist CEO Ben Lerer (pictured above), VaynerMedia CEO Gary Vaynerchuk and Bonobos CEO Andy Dunn. The nonprofit works with startups so their employees can donate a set amount of each paycheck to the charity of their choice. (The system… Read MoreScholarships are the new sweepstakes

One million dollars. A student will earn that much more in life with a four-year college degree as opposed to just a high school diploma. That’s according to a recent study from Georgetown University, which offers just such a degree. But most students need financial aid. And when it comes to financial aid, there are basically two kinds: the kind you pay back and the kind you want. You want… Read MoreHow activist DeRay Mckesson's Twitter account was hacked
Jun 10, 9:07PM
Even though several huge data breaches have recently exposed hundreds of millions of social media login credentials online, users aren’t re-setting their passwords — which means you’ll probably continue to see celebrities’ social media accounts getting hijacked. Racial justice activist DeRay Mckesson became the most recent example of a high-profile account breach… Read More13 TechCrunch stories you don't want to miss this week

Jun 10, 8:00PM
Since the dawn of technology, we’ve been afraid of technology eliminating our jobs. Look at the birth of the steam engine. When it was invented in the late 1700s, people believed its arrival signaled the end of manual labor and thousands of hardworking individuals would be out of jobs. Instead, it created completely new jobs in new industries. Nearly 250 years later, in a world defined… Read MoreAndreessen Horowitz officially closes its newest fund with $1.5 billion
Jun 10, 6:42PM
In March, we told you that Andreessen Horowitz was targeting $1.5 billion for its fifth and newest fund. This morning, the seven-year-old Sand Hill Road firm is confirming that it has closed on that amount, having secured the capital commitments from its previous investors. The announcement comes a little more than two years after the firm closed its fourth, multi-stage venture capital fund… Read MoreMozilla's multi-process architecture project cleared for takeoff
Jun 10, 6:03PM
Attention. Project code-name Electrolysis is a go. Mozilla’s long-running project to bring multi-process architecture to hundreds of millions of Firefox users has finally met release criteria for a full-scale rollout. Nearly every other browser on the market has adopted multi-process architecture, splitting tabs and extensions into separate processes. For the average non-technical… Read MoreWhat to expect at Apple's WWDC keynote
Jun 10, 5:58PM
Apple is about to kick off its annual developer conference in San Francisco on Monday. As usual, the company will get things going with a good old keynote filled with secret and not-so-secret announcements. Here's what I expect to see. A good chunk of the conference should be about iOS and OS X updates. Usually, Apple showcases some of th Read MoreSlack is down, so enjoy your three-day weekend
Jun 10, 5:49PM
Chat and collaboration app Slack is experiencing serious outages today, but we’re not sure of the nature or extent of the disaster, because status.slack.com is also inaccessible! What? This is like a fire station burning down! (Update: It’s back up, hurray!) Read MoreGawker files for bankruptcy
Jun 10, 5:09PM
Gawker Media filed for bankruptcy today, according to documents filed in a Southern District of New York court. The filing comes as Gawker’s legal battle with the wrestler Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) drags on. Hogan sued Gawker after the site published a clip of his sex tape and a blog post analyzing it; his lawsuit, as well as others against Gawker, have been funded by… Read MoreSee you next week in Warsaw and Krakow
Jun 10, 5:06PM
Looking forward to seeing you all in Warsaw and Krakow. There will be much rejoicing and smalec. It is my understand that you all are watching “football” matches in the “Eurozone Cup” (Americans know nothing about “soccer”) but I think it’s a great opportunity to network in Polska and practice your pitching. The Warsaw event will be held on June 13… Read MoreFacebook forces its photo-sharing app Moments to the top of the App Store
Jun 10, 4:59PM
Facebook is continuing its heavy-handed push to get users to install its private photo-sharing app Moments.

Users are being given a deadline of July 7th to move to Moments or download their… Read MoreThe PlayStation 4 'Neo' is real, but Sony won't show it at E3
Jun 10, 4:17PM
In an interview with the Financial Times, Sony Interactive Entertainment president and global chief executive Andrew House confirmed that the PlayStation 4 ‘Neo’ is real. But don’t expect to see it next week at the E3 conference in Los Angeles. House has said Sony doesn’t plan to unveil it at E3. Read MoreThe quest to cure loneliness
Jun 10, 4:01PM
Foursquare, Google Latitude and Facebook Nearby Friends failed to change the way we all meet up. That’s because intent, not location, is the most important thing when connecting people offline. If we want to meet up for food, coffee, drinks, the gym, a party or just to chill, it’s tough to know who else does too. It doesn’t matter if a friend is a block away if they… 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.
