Beneath an American flag, 20 people packed tight into a beige conference room are Facebook’s, and so too the Internet’s, first line of defence for democracy. This is Facebook election security war room. Screens visualize influxes of foreign political content and voter suppression attempts as high-ranking team members from across divisions at Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp coordinate rapid responses. The hope is through face-to-face real-time collaboration in the war room, Facebook can speed up decision-making to minimize how misinformation influences how vote.

In the connected future will anyone truly own any thing? Banksy’s artworld shocker performance piece, earlier this month, when a canvas of his went under the hammer at Sothebys in London, suggests not. Immediately the Girl with Balloon canvas sold — for a cool ~$1.1M (£860,000) — it proceeded to self-destruct, via a shredder built into the frame, leaving a roomful of designer glasses paired with a lot of shock and awe, before facial muscles twisted afresh as new calculations kicked in. As we reported at the time, the anonymous artist had spent years planning this particular prank. Yet the (...) -- Europe, Gadgets, Hardware, arts, Banksy, Canvas, connected objects, designer, Internet of Things, London, sotheby's

Emma, the U.K. money management app (or self-described “financial advocate”), is launching a cryptocurrency feature by integrating with a plethora of exchanges so that you can easily track your cryptocurrency balances. The idea is that a modern PFM type app should support cryptocurrency if it wants to provide insights into a user’s whole financial life, not just fiat currency sitting in traditional banks or on credit cards. At launch, the supported cryptocurrency exchanges are Coinbase, Bittrex, Binance, Bitstamp, Kraken, Bitfinex and individual Bitcoin and Ethereum addresses. However, for (...) -- Europe, Startups, TC

06:46Some notable Facebook shareholders file (mostly symbolic) proposal to oust Mark Zuckerberg as chairman - TechCrunchSeveral major Facebook shareholders have submitted a proposal calling for CEO Mark Zuckerberg to step down as chairman of the company’s board. The filing is mainly symbolic, since Zuckerberg has almost total voting control, an arrangement that has earned the company’s board structure comparisons to a “dictatorship.” The proposal is still noteworthy, however, because of the investors involved. The pension funds of New York City are joining activist shareholder Trillium Asset Management, which has wanted to remove Zuckerberg as Facebook’s chairman since its disappointing second-quarter earnings (...) -- TC, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, New York City pension fund, Scott Stringer, Trillium Asset Management

06:00MIT researchers say memory splitting breakthrough could prevent another Meltdown or Spectre - TechCrunchVirtually every modern computer processor was thrown under the bus earlier this year when researchers found a fundamental design weakness in Intel, AMD and ARM chips, making it possible to steal sensitive data from the computer’s memory. The Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities — which date back to 1995 — punched holes in the walls that keeps apps from accessing other parts of the system’s memory that it doesn’t have permission to read. That meant a skilled attacker could figure out where sensitive data was stored, like passwords and encryption keys.

ICs have certainly changed electronics, but how much do you really know about how they are built on the inside? While decapsulating and studying a modern CPU with 14 nanometer geometry is probably not a great first project, a simple 54HC00 logic gate is much larger and much easier to analyze, even at low magnification. [Robert Baruch] took a die image of the chip and worked out what was going on, and shares his analysis in a recent video. You can see that video, below.

Most CNC workflows start with a 3D model, which is then passed to CAM software to be converted into the G-code language that CNC machines love and understand. G-code, however, is simple enough that rudimentary coding skills are all you need to start writing your very own programmatic CNC tool paths. Any language that can output plain text is fully capable of enabling you to directly control powerful motors and rapidly spinning blades.

Elizabeth Warren's announcement that she took a DNA test to prove she has a Native American ancestor likely inspired countless people to pursue genetic testing to investigate their own family lore.

Indeed, there are sensitive, appropriate ways to talk about potentially having Native American ancestors.

Why is it that gold tech — especially rose gold — just makes everything that much cooler? There's something about this shiny hue that has us feeling fancy. Sales on Apple products aren't the most common, though we have seen retailers like Walmart discount a few of their iPads lately. So when we saw that it was the rose gold iPad Pro on sale, we were pretty pumped. Get the 10.5-inch Apple iPad Pro Wi-Fi 64GB in rose gold from Walmart for $594.99, down from the listed $649 tag — that's a savings of $54. As the latest model in the iPad lineup, it includes the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, 10 (...) -- Apple, Ipad Pro, Mashable Shopping, Shopping Linkshare, Tech

I thought battle royale games weren't for me. Until I played Blackout in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Blackout is a brand new mode for the storied Call of Duty series, which is inspired by the wildly popular shooter subgenre of battle royale games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite Battle Royale. I do not like those games. But I do like Blackout a whole lot. SEE ALSO: 'Black Ops 4' is the first truly new Call of Duty game since 2007. It's refreshing. These three very popular games/modes all have the same basic premise: A bunch of people drop down onto a map with absolutely (...) -- Call Of Duty, Playerunknown S Battlegrounds, Fortnite, Call Of Duty Black Ops 4, Entertainment

It’s been four months since Facebook launched IGTV, with the goal of creating a destination for longer-form Instagram videos. Is it shaping up to be a high-profile flop, or could this be the company’s next multi-billion-dollar business? IGTV, which features videos up to 60 minutes versus Instagram’s normal 60-second limit, hasn’t made much of a splash yet. Since there are no ads yet, it hasn’t made a dollar, either. But, it offers Facebook the opportunity to dominate a new category of premium video, and to develop a subscription business that better aligns with high-quality content.

HTML5 almost ruined Facebook when baking in the mobile web standard to speed up development slowed down the performance of the social network’s main iOS and Android apps.

But at the time, HTML5 wasn’t powerful enough for great gaming. Facebook eventually ditched HTML5, rebuilt the apps natively, and Facebook became one of the most powerful players in mobile.
