Your parents were right, dear reader. You are a precious, unique snowflake. Your ears, at least. I can’t really speak for the rest of you, but, hey, you seem great. Of course, your special, unique snowflakiness presents a challenge to our friends in the headphone industry. – even more so than the standard one-size-all approach of gadget makers. You see, there’s more than… Read MoreInvestment opportunities in the autonomous vehicle space

Jun 11, 11:00PM
Benita, a portal designed to deliver the latest news on fashion, beauty and lifestyle, debuted in Iran this May.

Read MoreWhy there will never be an Uber for healthcare
Jun 11, 7:01PM
You should walk away from anyone who says there can be an “Uber for healthcare.” It is the equivalent of someone saying they “have a bridge to sell you.” Or, more precisely, it shows a complete lack of understanding for how healthcare works and how positive health outcomes are actually achieved.

Jun 11, 3:18PM
You know when you just keep pressing the predictive text button on your mobile phone and the sentence just starts making less and less sense? The team behind Sunspring used the same technology to write a screenplay. Then they found some actors — including Thomas Middleditch, who plays Pied Piper’s Richard Hendricks in Silicon Valley — and turned it into a real short film.… Read MoreGoogle, Baidu and the race for an edge in the global speech recognition market
Jun 11, 3:00PM
Speech recognition technology has been around for more than half a decade, though the early uses of speech recognition — like voice dialing or desktop dictation — certainly don’t seem as sexy as today’s burgeoning virtual agents or smart home devices.

Today, the former co-editor of TechCrunch, Alexia Tsotsis, is graduating from Stanford’s MSx program at the Graduate School of Business.

What would software programs look like if they were people? Artist Reef1600 dreamed up these awesome personifications and let us share them with you. Check out his art, buy his work on Gumroad, and click/scroll through to see the rest: Read MoreFFS, Facebook
Jun 11, 1:00PM
For your convenience. For your security. To better serve you. To offer you the best experience. To better fit our future plans. To comply with regulations. To optimize our resources. These are the blandly vicious lies that companies proffer when they want to take something away from you. I thought I was used to this game, but this week I was actually upset by it again. Et tu, Facebook? Read MoreTesla'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 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 this.… 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

Gawker files for bankruptcy, Line will IPO on July 14 on the New York Stock Exchange, Greg Kumparak goes in-depth with the mobile game Pokemon Go from Niantic, Andreessen Horowitz closes a $1.5 billion dollar fund, and Meem is both storage and a charging cable.

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
Jun 10, 10:00PM
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 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.
