Jan 30, 8:07PM
The sky above the port may be the color of television, tuned to a dead channel, but in most hacker dens it’s usually all psychedelics and healthy snacks. And what better way to partake in your favorite psychoactive substances than with a true cyberpunk’s vape? The DaVinci IQ is a black slab designed to heat herbs to temperatures between 230 and 430 degrees Fahrenheit. A grid of… Read MoreIs a master algorithm the solution to our machine learning problems?
Jan 30, 8:00PM
Machine learning is not new. We have witnessed it since the 1990s, when Amazon introduced a new “recommended for you” section for its users to display more personalized results. When we search for something on Google, machine learning is behind those search results. The “Friends” recommendations or the suggested pages on Facebook or a product recommendation depend on… Read MoreAmazon and Expedia to support Washington state lawsuit on Trump immigration order

Google is making a number of ad partner announcements around its Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) format today.

With AMP ads, Google and its partners aim to make ads load fast again. The new partners Google is… Read MoreApple revenue could grow again thanks to the iPhone 7
Jan 30, 7:28PM
Apple will report its holiday quarter earnings tomorrow. Once again, all eyes will be on the iPhone. The device now represents the vast majority of the company’s revenue.

In short, revenue has been down for… Read MoreLeslie Miley leaves Slack to fuel growth in startup communities outside of Silicon Valley

Jan 30, 6:11PM
Sure, building a startup is hard, but building a real community for a virtual industry may be the toughest challenge in tech. Upload was founded in the aftermath of Facebook’s Oculus VR acquisition as a meetup for VR founders and fanboys/fangirls to chat about their hopes for the space and their plans to make them happen. In the past couple years, Upload has managed to vastly… Read MoreDropbox's note-taking app Paper launches globally in 21 languages

Jan 30, 5:50PM
Getting locked out of your account sucks. Almost everyone has experienced the frustration of forgetting a password, losing the phone on which they receive two-factor authentication codes, or jumbling the answer to a security question. But as exasperating as it is to lose access to your account, none of the widely-available measures for account recovery are very secure. Major breaches like… Read MoreNew York's tech community pens letter condemning Trump's immigration ban

Jan 30, 5:28PM
Apple is introducing a new billboard campaign today. The various “Shot on iPhone” ads have been quite effective. Somehow, seeing a giant photo on a billboard and thinking that it was shot with the phone you could have in your pocket works quite well. Of course, Apple works with professional photographers who know what they’re doing — my photos look nowhere as good. With… Read MoreLyft surges to the top 10 on Apple's App Store following the #DeleteUber campaign
Jan 30, 5:11PM
Lyft’s app has surged in the App Store thanks to the “Delete Uber” campaign which took place via social media over the weekend.

Jan 30, 5:03PM
Snap, the parent of Snapchat, will be listing on the New York Stock Exchange, TechCrunch has confirmed. The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. This means that you can expect to see a big Snapchat banner on Wall Street and that executives will probably be ringing the opening bell when the company debuts, likely in March. The move sends the message that Snap wants its IPO… Read MoreFord CEO and Chairman say the automaker does not support Trump's immigration order

The joint… Read MoreUpdate: Trump's White House website restores judiciary page explainer
Jan 30, 3:43PM
Another eyebrow-raising change to the White House website under President Trump: it does not list nor provide details of the judiciary’s role in government the U.S. — naming only the Executive and Legislative branches, both of which are controlled by Republicans.
