France steps up security near religious sites after New Zealand attacksFrench authorities have stepped up security measures near religious sites after deadly attacks against two mosques in New Zealand left 49 people dead, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said on Friday. "Patrols will be held around religious sites," Castaner said on his official Twitter account.

Beto O’Rourke apologises for campaign joke about wife raising their children ‘sometimes with my help’

Posted: 16 Mar 2019 04:39 AM PDT

Beto O'Rourke apologises for campaign joke about wife raising their children 'sometimes with my help'Democratic presidential contender Beto O'Rourke acknowledged making mistakes as a teen and as a candidate on Friday, responding to criticism of his campaign rhetoric towards his wife as well as writings he produced online when he was young. Mr O'Rourke made the comment at multiple campaign stops during his first swing through Iowa, including earlier on Friday, eliciting laughs each time, but he also drew criticism as being insensitive to the challenges faced by single parents raising children. Mr O'Rourke also said he was "mortified" when he reread the violent fiction he wrote as a teen, which received fresh attention on Friday after a Reuters report outlined his involvement in a hacker group as a teen.

Boeing to upgrade stall prevention on 737 MAX: sourcesBoeing in the next 10 days will roll out an upgrade to the MCAS stall prevention system for 737 MAX aircraft that have had two deadly accidents in recent months, two industry sources told AFP. The system was implicated in the crash of a 737 MAX 8 in Indonesia in October but the sources cautioned that the cause of the fatal Ethiopia Airlines accident last weekend has not yet been determined. The software fix, which was already underway prior to the latest incident, will only take about two hours to install, said the sources, who asked not to be identified.

Trump veto: President blocks Senate measure stopping border wall in bid to halt 'invasion' of migrant families

Trump veto: President blocks Senate measure stopping border wall in bid to halt 'invasion' of migrant familiesDonald Trump has used his first veto as president to block a bill that would have prevented him building a border wall - claiming the country was facing an "invasion" of migrants. In language designed to resonate with his supporters, the president claimed the bill passed by the House and Senate that would have overturned his declaration of a national emergency at the border, was "reckless". Yesterday, Congress passed a dangerous resolution that if signed into law would put countless Americans in danger, very grave danger," he said, seated behind his desk in the Oval Office.

Group seeking to overthrow Kim behind North Korea embassy raid in Spain: Washington Post

Posted: 15 Mar 2019 04:35 PM PDT

Group seeking to overthrow Kim behind North Korea embassy raid in Spain: Washington PostA dissident organization committed to overthrowing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was behind a raid on the North Korean embassy in Spain last month, The Washington Post reported on Friday, quoting people familiar with the planning and execution of the mission. The newspaper, which did not further identify its sources, identified the group as Cheollima Civil Defense, which also goes by the name Free Joseon. The Post's sources said the group did not act in coordination with any governments and U.S. intelligence agencies would have been especially reluctant to be involved given the sensitive timing of the mission ahead of a second summit between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump in Hanoi from Feb. 27-28.

Teen eggs an Australian official after his racist reaction to the New Zealand shooting

Posted: 16 Mar 2019 09:16 AM PDT

Teen eggs an Australian official after his racist reaction to the New Zealand shootingOne Australian teen gave the world a much-needed moment of catharsis on Saturday, egging Australian senator Fraser Anning over his reaction to the horrific Christchurch, New Zealand mass shooting and taking a punch in the face for his efforts. Video of the incident, showing the teen sliding up behind Anning while he spoke to reporters, immediately went viral. The teen splats an egg on the back of Anning's head, filming the whole thing with his phone, which prompted Anning to spin around and throw a punch at the kid. > Someone has just slapped an egg on the back of Australian Senator Fraser Anning's head, who immediately turned around and punched him in the face. @politicsabc @abcnews pic.twitter.com/HkDZe2rn0X> > -- Henry Belot (@Henry_Belot) March 16, 2019The egging was almost certainly in response to Anning's awful statement to the New Zealand mosque shootings, which killed 49 people on Friday. SEE ALSO: Police urge people to stop sharing that Christchurch shooter video onlineIn the wake of the tragedy, Anning issued a statement directly blaming Muslim immigrants for the attacks, saying, "The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place."> After the devastating attacks on mosques in Christchurch today, this is Queensland Senator Fraser Anning's response auspol pic.twitter.com/eLKzIXjBcQ> > -- Felicity Caldwell (@fel_caldwell) March 15, 2019The grotesque response, as well as statements he made on Saturday about the killer, are so steeped in Islamophobia and racism that a single egg seems far too kind. Punching the kid multiple times also seems like a poor response but here we are. So now the teen, punch to the face and all, has quickly become the latest internet folk hero. There's even a GoFundMe fundraiser for the teen because of course there is. Aiming to raise $2,000 for him to pay any potential legal fees and "buy more eggs," it had eclipsed $5,000 by 11:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time Saturday morning. And Twitter responded in kind, too.> If Fraser Anning didn't want to get slapped with an egg, he shouldn't have allowed eggs into his country. https://t.co/gfMNYsZjWn> > -- Zing Tsjeng (@misszing) March 16, 2019> The new avengers movie looks sick eggboy EggANazi eggboi @fraser_anning pic.twitter.com/ABffD4ZAwc> > -- Austin Carlile (@AustinJCarlile) March 16, 2019> The guy who threw his shoes at Bush/the Australian kid who egged that fascist senator 2020> > -- Paul Blest (@pblest) March 16, 2019According to media reports, the teen was released by police without any charges being filed. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison condemned Anning's comments, tweeting that they "have no place in Australia." > The remarks by Senator Fraser Anning blaming the murderous attacks by a violent, right-wing, extremist terrorist in New Zealand on immigration are disgusting. Those views have no place in Australia, let alone the Australian Parliament.> > -- Scott Morrison (@ScottMorrisonMP) March 15, 2019In the wake of the attacks, several efforts are underway to support the local Muslim community in Christchurch, including one by the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.

Don’t Break Up Big Tech

Posted: 15 Mar 2019 03:30 AM PDT

Don't Break Up Big TechThe worst ideas in Washington are often bipartisan. Big Tech is about to learn this lesson, if it hasn't already.Elizabeth Warren is out with a headline-grabbing proposal to break up Big Tech companies, the sort of overly ambitious government plan that once would have engendered knee-jerk Republican opposition. Not anymore. Who says we all can't get along?When the senator tweeted her (understandable) objection that Facebook had taken down her ads attacking Facebook and other tech companies, Ted Cruz agreed that the companies have too much power.Tech is caught in a right–left pincer. Conservatives don't like these companies because they are owned and operated by sanctimonious Silicon Valley liberals subject to the worst sort of groupthink. Progressives don't like them because they are colossal profit-making enterprises.That's why there is some chance Washington might get together and, along the lines Warren proposes, effectively outlaw the business models of some of the most successful and iconic American companies.Warren's idea to cleave off the platforms of the tech companies and have them run as "platform utilities" separate from the rest of their business is unworkable and is justified by a series of errors and misjudgments.It's not true, as Warren asserts, that the antitrust suit against Microsoft in the 1990s opened up the space for Google and Facebook to thrive. Microsoft never got the Internet and left the space open for Google and Facebook all by itself, as often happens with a large incumbent wedded to its business model.She charges that the tech companies use mergers to limit competition and cites Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp. It's hard to discern the harm here. When the social network bought it, WhatsApp was available for a fee. Now it's free, and more people use it than ever. What's the problem?She calls out Google for allegedly killing off its competitors by burying them in its searches. It's not obvious that Google actually does this, although its search business inherently involves constantly making choices to try to best serve what people want to see. No government regulator is going to improve Google's searches, or is qualified to even try.Warren's proposal is obviously formulated without taking any account of the interests of consumers, who are the ones who made the tech companies so large.Why does Google provide for free a tool without which it's impossible to imagine contemporary life? Because it can monetize it with advertising. Without the advertising, which Warren insists should be a separate business, Google has no incentive to devote engineers to improving its search engine.By the same token, no one will welcome iPhones that no longer come with or sell Apple apps. And would people really appreciate having to go to two different Amazons, one just a platform, one selling Amazon products?This is all silly, as are the mergers that Warren pledges to reverse, including Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods. Amazon doesn't have anything close to a monopoly in food retail. Rather than taking over the sector, it's spurring investment and innovation. The nation's largest supermarket chain, Kroger, was slated to increase its spending on investment 200 percent in 2018.The tech giants aren't stand-pat companies. Amazon alone spent more than $22 billion on investment in 2017. The development of autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, and voice recognition wouldn't be nearly as advanced if it weren't for the research of the tech companies. The behemoth of yesteryear, General Electric, isn't making these investments.None of this is to deny genuine concerns about tech companies. They need rules for content that honor the spirit of the First Amendment, and perhaps there should be tighter regulations around privacy. But any real offenses should be addressed with fixes directed at specific conduct, rather than with a massive politically imposed reorganization.That's a very bad idea, and if you had any doubt, watch it get a respectful hearing from both sides in Washington.© 2019 by King Features Syndicate

New render might give us our first look at Google’s Pixel 4 design

Posted: 15 Mar 2019 05:21 AM PDT

New render might give us our first look at Google's Pixel 4 designGoogle's Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL aren't even five months old at this point, and leaks have told us that there are still two more versions of the Pixel 3 coming this year. That's right, Google will harken back to the beloved Nexus smartphone line it discontinued and release two lower-cost versions of its most recent Pixel handsets. We're definitely looking forward to seeing what Google has in store for the mid-range smartphone market, but it looks like attention is already turning to a point a bit further in the future.A leak on Thursday showed us a supposed sketch of the design Google will use for its upcoming Pixel 4 XL. The Pixel 4 series isn't expected to be released for another seven months, and we have yet to see any solid rumors about what Google might have in store for Android fans this year. According to that sketch and a new leaked render, however, Google may be planning to finally release new flagship phones with designs that aren't stuck in the past.Google's Pixel phone lineup has always been great, but it has also always been stuck in the past. The original Pixel phones were designed by HTC for Google, and they were blatant iPhone 6 ripoffs. The next two Pixel generations would move away from Apple's designs, for the most part, but they were also always behind the times. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are the best illustration of that fact. By late 2018 when the Pixel 3 was released, it was the only flagship phone from a major smartphone vendor that still featured massive bezels above and below the screen. The Pixel 3 XL was better, but only marginally -- it has an oversized notch at the top, but still has a huge bezel down below the display.In 2019, Google might finally catch up with the times. The big trend in smartphone design this year is the hole-punch display like the one on Samsung's new Galaxy S10, and a leaked design sketch yesterday showed us a supposed Google Pixel 4 XL sketch with a dual-lens front-facing camera peaking through a hole cut out of the phone's top-right corner. Google's current Pixel 3 XL has a dual-lens selfie cam setup, so the sketch certainly makes sense, though there were some things about it that made us skeptical. Now, adding a bit of fuel to the fire, a Bulgarian blog called iDroidbg has posted a supposed render of the upcoming Pixel 4.The render shows a design that is quite similar to the Pixel 4 XL sketch we saw yesterday, but there's only a single lens selfie cam peering through the display.Apart from the modernized hole-punch display, there are two other key takeaways from this render. First, there is no longer a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. If the render is indeed accurate, it would indicate that Google is going with an in-display sensor like many other flagship Android phones. Second, and perhaps most importantly, the Pixel 4 XL sketch and this new Pixel 4 render both show a new dual-lens camera on the back of the phone. Google's Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are considered to be among the best camera phones in the world despite having single-lens rear cameras, so it will be interesting to see if Google decides to change its winning formula and adopt a dual-lens setup.

Venezuela's Guaido starts domestic tour to stir supportVenezuela's self-proclaimed interim leader Juan Guaido began a tour of his country Saturday aimed at sparking a citizen's movement to pry President Nicolas Maduro from power. As Guaido, 35, kicked off his "operation freedom" in the northern city of Valencia, the pro-Maduro military staged the latest in a series of exercises. The drill focused on defending hydroelectric infrastructure from attack -- a reaction to a weeklong national blackout that Maduro blamed on US "sabotage" but experts said was more likely the result of years of neglect.

Google faces third EU antitrust fine next week: sourceAlphabet unit Google is likely to be hit with a third EU antitrust fine next week related to its AdSense advertising service, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday, with the sanction expected to be much smaller than previous fines. The European Commission in 2016 opened a third case against the world's most popular internet search engine by accusing Google of preventing third parties using its AdSense product from displaying search advertisements from Google's competitors. It said that Google, which at that time had held 80 percent of the European market for search advertising intermediation over the previous ten years, had kept its anti-competitive practices for a decade.
