The Morning After: Here is the Tesla crossover

It's Friday, March 15, 2019. Hey, good morning!  We’ll cut to the chase: Here’s the new Tesla crossover. It’s a new kind of car for the company and will be on roads in 2020. Meanwhile, we’ve got cheaper NVIDIA GFX cards and a new, even longer number for pi. Very quick, no weird doors.   Tesla unveils its Model Y crossover   According to Roberto Baldwin, “With a zero to 60 potential of 3.5 seconds, the dual-motor variant of the vehicle they drove us in was quick.” Elon Musk promised the Model Y could deliver sports-car feel in a crossover, and we’ll need more time inside one to find out if that’s true.  It shares many attributes with the Model 3, even with additional storage space and up to three rows of seating. Several versions are scheduled to go on sale near the end of 2020, but you’ll have to wait until 2021 for a crack at the cheapest version, a Standard model with 230 miles of range, which costs $39,000. Oops.   Facebook's massive outage was the result of a server configuration change An outage that took down Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram for much of Wednesday was apparently the result of a server configuration change. The social-networking giant said the issue has since been fixed and all of its products and services are accessible once again. "We're very sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone's patience," the company said. It’s three times faster than WD’s SATA SSD without breaking the bank. WD brings cheap high-speed NVMe SSD performance to creators Sizing up the storage market, Western Digital is aiming its incoming WD Blue SN500 NVMe SSDs at those on a budget. The new 500GB stick packs around half the read and write speeds of Samsung's 960 Evo (1,700MB/s and 1,450MB/s respectively) but, at $78, costs roughly half the price.   Sponsored Content by StackCommerce These Raspberry Pi products are all marked down for Pi Day If you need a graphics upgrade but don’t need ray tracing yet, try this one. NVIDIA's GTX 1660 lowers the high-performance gaming price barrier NVIDIA has unveiled its cheapest Turing-based card yet, the $219 GeForce GTX 1660. Much like the $279 GTX 1660 Ti, it offers Turing performance that bests the GTX 1060 by around 15 to 30 percent. It has slightly slower memory than the Ti models and aims squarely at gamers with last-generation GTX 900-series hardware who can upgrade without needing a new power supply.   She used the power of cloud computing. Google's Emma Haruka Iwao breaks the world record for calculating pi A Google employee has broken the Guinness World Record for the most accurate value of pi. Emma Haruka Iwao and her colleagues used the power of the company’s cloud computing to calculate for 31,415,926,535,897 digits of pi. That's 9 trillion digits more than the previous record and a whole novel longer than the 3.14 value most of us know.    Because that black dot is taking up valuable real estate.   Samsung imagines full-screen phone with a camera hidden under the display   Samsung is working on a "perfect full-screen" phone that will be 100 percent display, with no notches, bezels or cut-outs. According to Yang Byung-duk, the company's display R&D vice president, "Technology can move to the point where the camera hole will be invisible, while not affecting the camera's function in any way."   But wait, there's more... 1. Facebook's chief product officer and head of Whatsapp are leaving 2. IKEA delays its smart blinds until later this year 3. Ford drops an electric blue Mustang teaser on Tesla's festivities 4. Steam Link Anywhere beta takes PC game streaming on the road 5. IKEA will officially reveal its first Sonos-powered speakers next month 6. 'Left 4 Dead' studio Turtle Rock returns with 'Back 4 Blood' 7. Kia and Amazon team up to make charging EVs at home easier

New Chrome Extension Aims to Make the Web Less Toxic

Richard Adhikari Mar 14, 2019 5:00 AM PT
	Jigsaw has released Tune, an experimental Chrome extension that lets users hide comments its algorithms identify as toxic. It is available for Mac, Windows, Linux and the Chrome OS. Tune builds on the same machine learning models that power Jigsaw's Perspective API to rate the toxicity of comments. Tune users can adjust the volume of comments from zero to anything goes.

The Morning After: Android Q arrives

It's Thursday, March 14, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. We reviewed Samsung’s smaller Galaxy S10 just in time for Google to deliver the first beta version of Android Q. Also, there’s some information on how much the Apex Legends launch cost to pull off, and Microsoft’s new Xbox One app brings PC games streaming to your console. (View in browser.) Smaller, but not lesser. Samsung Galaxy S10e review The Galaxy S10e delivers the essentials of the S10 experience -- excellent performance, great cameras and improved software -- in a package that feels more manageable, both physically and financially. However, a smaller phone means a smaller battery, and its fingerprint sensor is in an odd location. If you can live with a few compromises, it still packs more than enough power and polish for those unwilling to jump the $1,000 price barrier for a new phone. Latest and greatest. The Android Q beta is here with a focus on privacy You can enroll in Google's beta program if you want to try Android Q now, although this initial version only supports Pixel devices (ranging from the original to the Pixel 3). One for the road. NASA releases the final panorama that Opportunity took on Mars This 360-degree photo is composed of 354 images taken by the rover's Panoramic Camera (Pancam) from May 13th through June 10th.

Today's Story Highlights

Amazon Drops Lowest-Pricing Rule for Third-Party Sellers
Amazon reportedly has removed the price parity contract clause that
barred third-party vendors on its platform from selling their products
at a lower price elsewhere. The company long has been accused of
anticompetitive behavior and has come under considerable political
pressure because of its use of the price parity, also known as "most
favored nation," restriction.

Millennial CRM
Trying to do business without also having a modern CRM system is like
walking around naked. You can do it, at least for a little while, but
people will begin to think you're weird -- and the trouble is, those
people are all potential customers. CRM is essential today because,
despite our reverence for the free market, it's really more like free
markets -- plural.

Warren Dons Tech-Buster Mantle
Tech giants like Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple would be broken up
under a proposal from U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren. "Today's big tech
companies have too much power -- too much power over our economy, our
society, and our democracy," the Democratic presidential hopeful wrote
in an online post. Warren has called for legislative remedies to address
the problems.

A Lesson From Amazon: Alternative Revenue Streams Work
There's a reason that Amazon's stock skyrocketed 28 percent in 2018, a
notable outlier amid the broader market trends. The behemoth retailer is
bolstered by a few key differentiators when stacked against the
competition -- but let's backtrack for a moment to examine the state of
the current online marketplace. In truth, there's an expectation in the
market that buying online is cheaper.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/85891.html

Is Your Site Mobile Perfect? How to Catch Buyers Who Never Stand Still
Mobile search and buying continue to grow as the chosen means for
consumers' online shopping, with the market set to reach an estimated
$218 billion in 2019. By 2021, it's estimated that 72.9 percent of
online purchases will be made on a mobile device . If you factor in the
Millennial and Generation Z demographics, virtually all sales soon will
be mobile-generated.
