Machine learning can fix Twitter, Facebook, and maybe even America
Nov 26, 3:30PM
Quitting Twitter is easy — I’ve done it a hundred times. Someone called it “a clown car that drove into a gold mine,” and like all clown cars, Twitter makes the passengers get out once in awhile. If I go back, it’s because I’m addicted. The tight news cycle, tweetstorms, gossip mongers, insight, argument, factoids, snark and one-liners. For an information… Read MoreBlack Friday online sales to hit a record-breaking $3 billion, over $1 billion from mobile
Nov 26, 1:44AM
Black Friday online shopping is continuing to grow, and this Friday was another record-breaking day. According to a new report out this evening from Adobe, which has been tracking e-commerce transactions throughout the sales holiday, Black Friday is on track to set a new record by surpassing the $3 billion mark for the first time. It’s also expected to become the first day in U.S.… Read MoreHow to recruit, hire and retain female engineers
Nov 26, 1:00AM
Leaders at tech startups are alarmed by the absence of women from mission-critical roles — software engineering, especially. This article is a how-to guide for finding and hiring women software engineers who will get the job done. Front-end or full-stack, QA or customer success specialist, it doesn’t matter. These steps to success apply to hiring women into any coding or… Read MoreSiren Care makes a "smart" sock to track diabetic health
Nov 25, 11:05PM
Diabetic health tracking startup Siren Care has created smart socks that use temperature sensors to detect inflammation — and therefore injury — in realtime for diabetics. Co-founder Ran Ma was working on growing biomass to grow back skin that had been damaged while at Northwestern University when she started learning how to treat diabetic feet and thought of making a… Read MoreNo Man's Sky's upcoming update paves the way for building bases
Nov 25, 10:54PM
The sci-fi universe wandering game No Man’s Sky got a vocal and sizeable negative reception after a portion of players felt it overpraised with hype and pre-release advertising but didn’t deliver ultimately with actual gameplay. I genuinely liked the game, but it might be because I didn’t pay very much attention to the actual promises being made by studio Hello Games after… Read MoreSphero's BB-8 wearable brings Force control to home automation with IFTTT support
Nov 25, 10:51PM
Sphero’s BB-8 was the most memorable bit of merchandizing among last year’s epic Force Awakens merchandising bonanza. It was the perfect piece of synergy – leveraging the hardware startup’s compelling piece of remote control technology to bring to life the film’s most marketable creation. This year the company looked to take things a step further with the addition… Read MoreJill Stein campaign files to recount votes in Wisconsin
Nov 25, 10:38PM
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, and independent party candidate Rocky De La Fuente, today filed for a recount of votes in the state of Wisconsin after Stein raised more than $5.2 million via NationBuilder.com to pursue “election integrity.” Stein’s crowdfunding campaign raised donations after a group of legal and cybersecurity experts raised questions… Read MoreGiving corporate innovation a jolt
Nov 25, 10:00PM
Today’s competitive business world demands innovation. Corporations need to innovate to inspire, compete and survive. However, the burden of innovation has largely rested on startups. Large corporations and established businesses are expected to out-think their rivals, but more often we see that they rely on minor product updates or acquisitions in place of home-grown innovation. Read MoreWatch Dogs 2 lampoons Silicon Valley with open-world hacking fun
Nov 25, 9:33PM
Kind of like the TV series Person of Interest but somehow with even less humor. Watch Dogs 2 is luckily nothing like that, with a bright, vividly accurate San Francisco backdrop, a hero you actually like and jokes throughout the plot that actually land. Oh, and all the hacking stuff that was good in the first one is here, too – but better. Silicon Valley and the Bay area are your… Read MoreSalesforce serves as training ground for SaaS startup execs
Nov 25, 8:01PM
When startups go looking for executive talent, they want someone with some experience working for a successful organization. When it comes to the cloud, there is a dearth of expertise — with one notable exception — Salesforce. Perhaps, that’s why Salesforce, by far the most successful pure SaaS company ever, has become a pipeline for executive talent. The company launched… Read MoreMobile and enterprise are the keys to VR/AR scale
Nov 25, 6:00PM
Though PC and console VR are the sexier formats we’re all excited about, is mobile where VR will really scale in the near term? This is a question I’ve been posing to investors and innovators. Read MoreJapan looks to create a superfast supercomputer for deep learning
Nov 25, 5:29PM
Japan is reportedly eyeing a return to the top of the supercomputer ranks. The county’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry plans to spend 19.5 billion yen ($173 million) on a new super computer, according to budget filings reported by Reuters, with aims of developing a machine capable of 130 petaflops. That number would put the company in the top spot, moving the AI Bridging… Read MorePeter Thiel taps a principal at Founders Fund for Trump's transition team
Nov 25, 5:21PM
Peter Thiel is famously loyal to his employees and vice versa. Many of the dozens of people employed by his venture firm, Founders Fund, once worked for Thiel at his hedge fund, Clarium Capital. He even cofounded a late-stage venture firm, Mithril Capital, with one former Clarium managing director, Ajay Royan. Little wonder then that Thiel is reportedly pulling one principal at Founders… Read MoreInside Expa Labs, Uber co-founder's take on the startup accelerator
Nov 25, 4:11PM
There’s no shortage of startup incubators and accelerators, but there’s always room for improvement and iterations on an old operating model. Expa Labs, a six-month program for startups that spun out of Uber co-founder Garrett Camp’s Expa Studios, has a different take on the startup accelerator/incubator model. Last week, it wrapped up its first batch of startups. Launched… Read MoreNo more pastry panic: Alexa can now talk you through recipes
Nov 25, 4:00PM
When I cook I make a huge mess and the product is edible about 50 percent of the time, which is why I’m hoping Alexa can help. I lean on the disembodied spirit of Amazon that lives inside my black tube and various small plastic pucks for so many things, it’s only natural I’d add culinary skill to the list, and the new Allrecipes skill (via The Verge) for Alexa provides… Read MoreXiaomi admits it doesn't make money on smartphone hardware sales
Nov 25, 3:40PM
Xiaomi’s business model isn’t about selling handsets, except insofar as those handset sales lead to recurring service revenue later on. So said Xiaomi global VP and former Android VP Hugo Barra in an interview with Reuters. The executive for the device maker was commenting on a drop in its smartphone sales in China, explaining that they wouldn’t impact the company’s… Read MoreSharp brings dark and light Star Wars phones to SoftBank in Japan
Nov 25, 3:40PM
Around this time last year, Verizon celebrated the long awaited arrival of The Force Awakens fittingly with a couple of limited edition Motorola Droid Turbo 2 handsets with themes tied to the star of the upcoming film. No word on any sort of follow up promotion for Rogue One (though the Moto Z would lend itself well to a little space opera cosplay), but SoftBank customers in Japan will be able… Read MoreMobile shopping hits record numbers over Thanksgiving and Black Friday
Nov 25, 3:18PM
Black Friday has only just begun, but already mobile traffic and sales are breaking records compared with years prior, according to third-party reports and those from major retailers, out this morning. In addition to yesterday’s Thanksgiving sales report of a record $771 million in revenue from mobile devices, top retailers, including Amazon, Walmart and Target, have also now… Read MoreUber rival Grab's first CFO is leaving the company after just seven months
Nov 25, 2:53PM
Grab, the company rivaling Uber in Southeast Asia, is losing its first CFO just seven months after her appointment, the company confirmed. Read MoreLevel Frames launches AI photo filters so you can be artsy IRL
Nov 25, 2:49PM
Prisma has made quite an impression on the tech world, and Level Frames is looking to capitalize on the trend. The YC-backed company, which offers custom framing of physical artwork via an easy-to-use website, has developed its own AI photo filters for Level users.
