The Beginning Of Protest
Sep 10, 1:00PM
The most provocative book I’ve read this year is The End Of Protest, by Micah White, one of the two initiators of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Remember Occupy? Those crazy days when, giddy with the apparent success of the previous year’s Arab Spring, independent, decentralized groups of protestors, connected by cell phones and social media, seized public spaces across… Read MoreMilitary veterans provide a new competitive advantage for tech companies
Sep 10, 4:00AM
Ask any Silicon Valley CEO what some of their biggest challenges are and you likely will hear “finding and retaining great people.” Tech is booming, yet it remains incredibly hard to attract and keep talent amid a competitive ecosystem. A few companies, however, have figured out a competitive advantage through a relatively untapped source of talent: military veterans. Read MoreCrunch Report | Who will buy The Honest Company?

Five lessons for founders
Sep 10, 3:31AM
Fundraising is something all of us as entrepreneurs worry about constantly and discuss pretty much whenever we meet. A lot of people think you should meet for the first time with a VC or a potential investor with your pitch in hand, ready to start the process. I disagree. Raise Long Before You Raise Scrap around and find a way to get warm intros early. It’s like picking a partner for… Read MoreThe drone race is off and running, with Israel in the lead
Sep 10, 3:00AM
Audiences around the globe enjoyed all the action of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games thanks in large part to the drones hovering above the events (or below them), capturing every movement, from every angle. Athletes and spectators didn’t give a second thought to the presence of these drones — which shows how rapidly they’ve become commonplace. Indeed, drones can be found in… Read MoreRoku lands its first streaming deal in Asia with Philippines-based PLDT tie-up
Sep 10, 1:18AM
Roku, the streaming media company, has netted its first deal with an operator in Asia after it announced an agreement with Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT). Read MoreEvery single part of this camera is 3D printed
Sep 10, 1:01AM
We’ve seen 3D printed cameras before, but they always include some prefabricated part: a hinge, a spring, or more complicated bits like shutters and iris mechanisms. But designer Amos Dudley has done what I’ve always hoped someone would do: make a camera entirely out of 3D printed parts — yes, including the lens. Read MorePaypal brushes-off request from Palestinian tech firms to access the platform
Sep 10, 12:58AM
Some people might be wondering why a hashtag to do with Paypal has been blowing up on twitter in the last two days. The #PayPal4Palestine hashtag has been making waves on social media after 43 companies and organizations in Palestine published an open letter to Paypal asking for the payment platform to work there. The move came only after PayPal ignored their requests for a formal meeting.… Read MoreJudge a book through its cover with this terahertz camera setup
Sep 10, 12:11AM
What do you do if you want to peek inside a book, but you’re pretty sure it’ll crumble into dust if you even crack the cover a little bit? Well, nothing: Opening a book is a critical step in finding out what’s inside. Or at least it was until someone at MIT decided that shouldn’t be the case. Read MoreThe progressive case for replacing the welfare state with basic income
Sep 10, 12:00AM
It appears some establishment voices have picked up on a way of opposing the idea of the monthly citizen dividend of about $1,000 per month, known as universal basic income (UBI), in a way that successfully leaves some progressively minded people afraid.

Sep 09, 11:57PM
This weekend, hundreds of developers and engineers will pack into the Disrupt SF conference space for our Hackathon, a 24-hour race to build a brand-new product.

Sep 09, 11:37PM
Young has been running Intel’s Security Group for quite some time now as senior vice president and general manager. While he will officially be given a CEO title in his new role, the position will be a rare point of continuity for a team that has changed hands twice in the last five years. We sat down with Young to get the scoop on what the transaction means for the future of McAfee and… Read MoreUser's guide to Disrupt SF 2016

Sep 09, 9:58PM
It has been a slow year for tech IPOs, but cloud software maker Coupa has publicly filed. This is generally an indication that the company will debut on the stock market in a matter of weeks. The unicorn, whose largest shareholders include Battery Ventures and BlueRun Ventures, plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker, “COUP.” The company plans to raise roughly $75 million,… Read MoreFacebook steps in to prove the value of chatbots with Tommy Hilfiger
Sep 09, 9:54PM
Here come the fashbots, and this time they might actually be useful. Facebook’s seemingly half-baked chatbot platform soured many on the potential of conversation user interfaces. The first bots built by outside developers back in April were clumsy and more trouble than just using a website. So Facebook’s Creative Shop is getting involved, working with bot maker Msg.ai and the… Read MoreDropbox responds to accusations its Mac desktop client hacks OS X security
Sep 09, 9:33PM
Dropbox has responded to concerns about how it implements the desktop client of its cloud storage service on Apple’s macOS platform, conceding it needs to do more to communicate how the integration functions and the permissions it’s requesting.

Sep 09, 9:21PM

Sep 09, 9:00PM
The dawn of the space age was, in many ways, a direct response to heightened competitive political and military rhetoric from major global superpowers in the latter part of the previous century. The need for diversification as a means to mitigate technology-related risk ultimately served as a catalyst to open up the world of space to private enterprise. Read MoreGoogle's WaveNet uses neural nets to generate eerily convincing speech and music
Sep 09, 8:27PM
Generating speech from a piece of text is a common and important task undertaken by computers, but it’s pretty rare that the result could be mistaken for ordinary speech. A new technique from researchers at Alphabet’s DeepMind takes a completely different approach, producing speech and even music that sounds eerily like the real thing.
