  11-05-2020 21:22 via thenextweb.com
  
  Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the global gaming obsession du jour, is not commercially available in China at the moment, and official versions of the Nintendo Switch sold in the country won’t play it.

  11-05-2020 19:51 via thenextweb.com
  
  A new AI diagnostic tool trained on crowdsourced symptom data can predict whether someone likely has COVID-19 without testing. The model was trained on data from more than 2.5 million users of the COVID Symptom Study app developed at King’s College London, which anyone can download to report their daily health status. Around a third of the users had logged symptoms associated with COVID-19. Some 18,374 reported having had a test for coronavirus, 7,178 of whom had tested positive

• WhatsApp may soon support 50-person video calls through Messenger Rooms

  11-05-2020 19:38 via thenextweb.com
  
  Ever since Facebook bought WhatsApp back in 2014, the company has managed to keep the the mega-popular chat app quite separate from its other services. But every now and then, we’re reminded that WhatsApp is, in fact, owned by Facebook. Case in point: an upcoming feature test spotted by WABetaInfo would redirect you towards Messenger Rooms in order to make video calls with large groups. Though WhatsApp recently added support for up to eight people in a video call, that number pales in com

• Could biometric immunity passports get the UK back to work?

  11-05-2020 17:40 via thenextweb.com
  
  In an effort to ease lockdown restrictions, the UK government is considering issuing immunity passports that show someone can return to work. Supporters of the idea argue that it will help restart the economy, but health experts believe it’s fraught with risks. Chief among their concerns is the testing for immunity. Immunity passports would rely on antibody tests that show someone has recovered from the infection. But scientists still don’t know how long someone remai

  Whether scrolling Instagram or browsing our email inboxes, the current crisis has us tuned in to what brands do and say. In stride, our personal values are running close to the surface: is that letter from the CEO out of touch, or appropriately optimistic? Marketing campaigns that don’t skip a beat while the world is rapidly changing can feel brash, and tone-deaf sentiments can quickly spur an unsubscribe. But it’s not all blunders and missteps!

  What started out as a private legal case between Google and its former head of self-driving technology, Anthony Levandowski, that no one really batted an eyelid over, evolved into a public nightmare for all involved. With most cases against Levandowski having been settled, the former Google engineer and his most recent employer, Uber no less, are now left pointing fingers over who would pick up the $180 million bill.

• An astronaut got a blood clot in space — here’s how it helped science

  11-05-2020 15:25 via thenextweb.com
  
  You are locked inside and are encouraged to do one hour of physical exercise per day. You are isolated from the people you love, and there are limited forms of communication. And you know it will be months before life will return to normal. Sound familiar? This is what many of us are experiencing during these times of COVID-19 lockdown – but it also describes the life of an astronaut aboard the International Space Station. There are, however, real physical risks to being in space. Earlier

• Our adaptability is what will save us from extinction — at least for a while

  11-05-2020 14:23 via thenextweb.com
  
  Will our species go extinct? The short answer is yes. The fossil record shows everything goes extinct, eventually. Almost all species that ever lived, over 99.9%, are extinct. Some left descendants. Most – plesiosaurs, trilobites, Brontosaurus – didn’t. That’s also true of other human species. Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo erectus all vanished, leaving just Homo sapiens. Humans are inevitably heading for extinction. The question isn’t whether we go extinct, but wh

  The evolving COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent need for scientific evidence, and quickly. We need politicians to be able to make informed decisions, and we need to support the development of effective vaccines and treatments, as well as understanding the unfolding impact of the pandemic on society. The speed with which the global scientific community has risen to this sudden pressing need is remarkable. But science is usually a slow-moving process – a series of steps towards a bette

  The other day, while working at my — dare I say, successful — market research company I had a sudden realization: someday I’m going to want to retire. It might be obvious, but a question remained. A hopefully wiser and older version of myself would at some point leave these premises for good and hand over the keys to… to… whom? I’d never given the matter of my succession much thought — or let’s be honest here… any thought — until th
