“This isn’t a kind of fluffy charity providing free services. It’s is a very hard-headed international business and these big tech companies are essentially the world’s biggest global advertisers, that’s where they make their billions. […] these big companies, particularly where there are monopolies, can’t frankly reform themselves. It will have to come from outside.”

“Today, we’re taking the next step in our journey with the introduction of our commercial self-driving service, Waymo One. We’ll first offer Waymo One to hundreds of early riders who have already been using our technology. Over time, we hope to make Waymo One available to even more members of the public as we add vehicles and drive in more places. Self-driving technology is new to many, so we’re proceeding carefully with the comfort and convenience of our riders in mind. At first, Waymo-trained drivers will supervise our Waymo One vehicles. ”

“A plus code is like a street address for people or places that don’t have one. Plus codes give addresses to everyone, everywhere, allowing them to receive deliveries, access emergency services, register to vote – and more. A plus code address looks like a regular address, but with a short code where the street name and number would be. These addresses exist for any location, even for places where there are no roads. ”

Facebook quietly launches a TikTok competitor app called Lasso

Lasso by Facebook

“Lasso is Facebook’s latest bid to win over teens, which the large social media platform has lost its hold over. In 2018, only half of teens say they still use Facebook, compared to in 2014, when 71 percent of them said they did. The app was first reported as in development in late October.On Lasso, users can record themselves dancing and lip-syncing to music, similar to what they can already do on TikTok. The app also lets users record short clips like Vines.”

Red Hat & IBM

“Research shows that 80 percent of business workloads have yet to move to the cloud, held back by the proprietary nature of today’s cloud market. This prevents portability of data and applications across multiple clouds, data security in a multi-cloud environment and consistent cloud management. IBM and Red Hat will be strongly positioned to address this issue and accelerate hybrid multi-cloud adoption. Together, they will help clients create cloud-native business applications faster, drive greater portability and security of data and applications across multiple public and private clouds, all with consistent cloud management.”

Snapchat falling

“Les problèmes de croissance de Snapchat sont cependant plus profonds. L’application souffre surtout de la concurrence d’Instagram, la plate-forme de photos et de vidéos détenue par Facebook. En août 2016, celle-ci avait copié le format des « stories », qui permet de partager des photos et des vidéos qui disparaissent au bout de vingt-quatre heures. Selon le courtier Piper Jaffray, Instagram est depuis devenu l’application préférée des adolescents américains, le cœur de cible de Snapchat. Les « stories » ont aussi été ajoutées sur Facebook. Et elles occupent une place encore plus importante dans la nouvelle version de Messenger, l’application de messagerie du réseau social. […]
Un avertissement bien reçu par Wall Street. Dans les échanges d’après-Bourse, l’action de Snap chutait, jeudi 25 octobre, de plus de 10 %. Elle devrait ainsi toucher ce vendredi un nouveau plus bas historique. Depuis mars 2017, sa valeur a fondu de 75 %.”
