Aug 16, 4:00AM
Four long years ago John O’Nolan released a content management system for bloggers that was as elegant as it was spooky.

O’Nolan just released version 1.0 of the software, a move that updates the tool with the best of modern blogging tools. You… Read MoreCrunch Report | Uber Agrees to 20 Years of Privacy Audits

Aug 16, 2:50AM
We knew that Andrew Ng had more than just a series of deep learning courses up his sleeve when he announced the first phase of his deeplearning.ai last week. It’s clear now that the turn of Ng’s three part act is a $150 million venture capital fund, first noted by PEHub, targeting AI investments. Ng, who formerly founded Google’s Brain Team and served as chief scientist at… Read MoreSocial virtual reality startup AltspaceVR may not be dead after all
Aug 16, 2:03AM
What is dead in VR may never die, perhaps? Social VR startup AltspaceVR may not be shutting down after all. The company, which raised more than $15 million in funding from GV, Comcast Ventures and others, announced last month that it was unexpectedly closing its virtual doors after a funding deal fell through “at the last second.” But oddly, less than a month later, the startup… Read MorePrivacy advocates advise Supreme Court to protect phone location data under the 4th Amendment

Dozens of companies, advocates, experts and interested parties just weighed in ahead of the hearing. Read MoreUber's head of developer product leaves citing Kalanick's ouster
Aug 16, 1:08AM
Without the heavyweight backing for the platform from former CEO Travis Kalanick, Uber’s head of developer product Chris Saad is leaving the company. It’s unclear where the platform will rank in Uber’s revised priorities as it tries to right the ship, and so he tells me he is moving on to a company where working with outside developers is a central focus. Saad stressed… Read MoreTechCrunch launches 'Original Content,' a podcast about streaming TV, movies and more
Aug 15, 11:40PM

Aug 15, 11:11PM
MongoDB has filed confidentially for IPO, sources tell TechCrunch. The company has submitted an S-1 filing in the past few weeks and is aiming to go public before the end of the year.

Aug 15, 10:21PM
Several Representatives are asking for an explanation for why so many of the FCC’s actions seem to benefit Sinclair Broadcast Group, and a New York Times report details a rather cozy relationship between the two. There’s no big conspiracy, though. Sinclair benefits because the FCC is deregulating these industries at their request and on their terms — as Chairman Pai has… Read MoreSeparating fiction from feasibility in the future of drone delivery
Aug 15, 10:00PM
From donuts to life-saving anti-venom, drone delivery draws attention to what the technology might look like in a few short years.

Read MoreWhat Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others are doing to tackle hate speech
Aug 15, 9:05PM
For all the talk about the internet as a great uniter across geographical and ideological divides, it’s just as often used as a tool to deepen divides, as many users are content to stay within their ideological echo chambers. There’s no easy fix, but when hateful rhetoric begins to manifest itself as real-world violence, a failure to take a stand moves beyond theoretical. Read MoreSling TV now works in the browser
Aug 15, 5:51PM
Despite having been one of the first to offer live, streaming TV over the internet, Dish’s Sling TV service has just now introduced a way to watch its service via a web browser.
