Ankara and Damascus appear to be heading towards a military confrontation as Russia, the main backer of the Assad regime, fails to stick to its word on Idlib.
Following intense talks in Moscow on Tuesday, Turkish and Russian delegations failed to reach any consensus over the Assad regime's ongoing offensive in the Idlib province, the last opposition stronghold.
The regime offensive has already killed hundreds of civilians, forcing more than 900,000 people to flee from their homes to slightly safer areas next to the Turkish border.

ANKARA/AMMAN (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday a military operation by his forces to push back a Syrian government offensive against rebels in northwest Syria was now "a matter of time" after talks with Russia failed to halt the assault.
Turkish troops have already massed inside the Idlib region and more were heading to the border area, bringing NATO member Turkey and Russian-backed Syria close to the brink of direct confrontation.

DUBAI (Reuters) - The black box of a Ukrainian passenger plane accidentally shot down over Iran last month is damaged but Iran will not hand it over to another country despite pressure for access, top Iranian ministers said on Wednesday, according to state media.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last week he had "impressed upon" Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif that a complete and independent investigation into the shooting down of the airliner had to be carried out.
Many of the 176 who perished in the disaster were Iranians with dual citizenship, which is not recognized by Iran. Canada had 57 citizens on board.
"We have a right to read the black box ourselves. We have a right to be present at any examination of the black box," Zarif said.
"If we are supposed to give the black box to others for them to read it in our place then this is something we will definitely not do," he said.
Defense Minister Amir Hatami said the flight data recording box had "sustained noticeable damage and the defense industry has been requested to help in reconstructing (it)."
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that a military operation in the northwestern Syrian region of Idlib was a "matter of time" if President Bashar al-Assad's forces fail to withdraw behind Turkish military positions — prompting criticism from Moscow.
The Syrian Army's offensive, backed by Russian air support, has triggered the biggest wave of refugees in the nine-year conflict.
Erdogan told lawmakers from his ruling AK Party on February 19 that talks with Russia, which has been the main backer of the Assad regime, were far from meeting Ankara's demands.
He said Turkey, which supports rebels who want to remove Assad from power, was determined to make Idlib a secure zone "no matter the cost," even as it continues its dialogue with Russia.
Iran today became the latest country embroiled in the global battle. Two people, about whom no details have been released, are being treated in Qom, 86miles south of Tehran
* Iran today became the latest country to declare the infection had spread there * The outbreak began on December 31 in the Hubei province of China * More than 75,000 people have been infected now and 2,012 have died
A series of maps has revealed how the coronavirus outbreak has spread through China and leaped to at least 26 other countries around the world.
More than 74,000 people have now been infected with the virus in China and 2,006 people have died there, but international cases continue to crop up.
They have been found in 26 countries and three Chinese territories, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Iran today became the latest country to declare the infection had spread there, confirming there are now two patients being treated in Qom, south of Tehran.
And South Korea almost doubled its number of patients from 31 to 51 overnight, making it one of the worst affected places alongside Japan and Singapore.
Elderly people die in hospital after testing positive for coronavirus in the holy city of Qom, officials say.
Tehran, Iran - Two elderly people have died in Iran after testing positive for the new coronavirus, according to health officials.
The deaths on Wednesday were the outbreak's first fatalities in the Middle East.
"Two elderly people have died due to coronavirus in the city of Qom, south of Tehran," Alireza Vahabzadeh, an adviser to Iran's health minister, told Al Jazeera on Wednesday.
"The two victims had suffered acute lung infections due to their infection with the coronavirus," he added.
* Japanese disease expert Kentaro Iwata said conditions on the Diamond Princess were 'completely chaotic' * Infectious diseases expert is one of many scientists to slam quarantine in video that racked up a million views * He placed himself in 14-day quarantine to avoid giving it to his family after 542 were infected during lockdown * Iwata was in Africa during the Ebola outbreak and China in 2003 to deal with SARS but was never scared of getting infected myself before
A Japanese disease expert has branded the Diamond Princess quarantine a 'major failure', 'completely inadequate' and a 'mistake' as he slammed the 'bureaucrats' in charge.
Kentaro Iwata said the situation on board the vessel was worse than outbreaks he had dealt with in the past, such as Ebola in Africa and the 2003 SARS crisis in China, as he feared he would also be infected.
The professor said in a YouTube video that on board the Diamond Princess was the only time he feared getting disease himself.
He placed himself in a 14-day quarantine for fear of infecting his family after a brief visit on board the ship yesterday.
Cases of the virus, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, have been reported around the world.
New cases of infection with a new coronavirus known as COVID-19, which emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan, are being reported daily around the world.
In mainland China, 2,004 people have died, while 74,185 infections have been confirmed, according to government figures.
Hundreds of cases have been confirmed elsewhere, with the virus being recorded in several countries in the Asia-Pacific region as well as Europe, North America, Africa and the Middle East.
Dr Wang Ping of Wuhan No.8 Hospital has been infected, state media said today News comes a day after the chief of Wuhan Wuchang Hospital died of the virus Novel coronavirus has killed seven health workers and infected 1,700 of them Chinese people have accused officials of trying to cover up the death of medics
Another hospital chief at the centre of the coronavirus outbreak has reportedly been hospitalised after contracting the disease.
Dr Wang Ping, the head of Wuhan No. 8 Hospital, was being treated at the city's Jinyintan Hospital, state media said today.
Just yesterday, the director of Wuhan Wuchang Hospital died of the disease following 'all-out rescue efforts'.
Coronavirus has killed seven health workers and infected more than 1,700 medical staff in China.
* China's National Health Commission said there was a total of 74,185 confirmed cases as of Feb. 18, and 2,004 people have died so far. * South Korea confirmed 15 additional cases, bringing the total number of affected patients to 46. * A second person, a 70-year-old man, has died in Hong Kong from the infection, a spokeswoman at the Princess Margaret Hospital told CNBC.
Iranian authorities reported two suspected cases of the coronavirus on Wednesday, according to the country's semi-official ISNA news agency.
A health ministry spokesperson said both cases were in the city of Qom ad the patients had been put into isolation.
"The next stages of testing are underway and the final results of these tests will be released to the public once they have been determined," Kiyanoush Jahanpour, a spokesperson at Iran's health ministry, said in a statement, ISNA reported.
Iran has not previously confirmed any cases of the coronavirus.
RAND Corporation report for the US army says Turkish defence minister is particularly close to American military
A US think tank report on Turkey's foreign policy has caused controversy in the country after it suggested a new military coup attempt was plausible and that the Turkish defence minister was extremely close to the US military.
Released last month, the report by the RAND Corporation for the US army alleges that the Turkish government's decision to expel hundreds of officers after a failed coup attempt in 2016 caused huge discontent in the Turkish military.
"Mid-level officers are reported to be extremely frustrated with the military leadership and concerned about being removed in the continuing post-coup purges," the report said.
"This discontent could even lead to another coup attempt at some point, and [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan appears to take the threat seriously."

The U.S. government failed to effectively account for nearly $715.8 million in weapons and equipment allocated to Syrian partners as part of the multinational counter-ISIS fight, according to a new report from the Defense Department inspector general.
The audit, publicly released on Tuesday, revealed that officials with Special Operations Joint Task Force–Operation Inherent Resolve "did not maintain comprehensive lists of all equipment purchased and received" to equip Syrian allies in the anti-ISIS fight (known as CTEF-S equipment) in fiscal years 2017 and 2018 due to a lack of a central repository for accountability documentation.
In addition, officials with the 1st Theater Sustainment Command "did not properly store or secure" the relevant equipment in accordance with Pentagon guidelines so far that, in at least one case, 1st TSC personnel "stored weapons outside in metal shipping containers, exposing the equipment to harsh environmental elements, such as heat and humidity."
WNU Editor: I am willing to bet that the 2019 numbers are even worse. I am also willing to bet that most (if not all) of these weapons and gear were left with the Kurds, and done so on purpose.
Budget documents describe a gun-armed "missile" that would be able to engage multiple targets, either on the ground or in the air.
Tucked away inside the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's most recent budget proposal is a request for millions of dollars to explore what one could best describe as an unmanned flying gun capable of engaging airborne and ground-based targets. This comes around a year and a half after DARPA first announced it was working on what it called a "Flying Missile Rail." The system would carry its own air-to-air missiles and would be launched like a drone from under the jet's wing, after which they would fly off and engage aerial targets with their missiles.
DARPA is asking for $13.27 million in its budget request for the 2021 Fiscal Year for the flying gun effort, which it has dubbed Gunslinger. The budget documents say that this is a new program and it is in no way related to the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps program of the same name, which developed a system to detect incoming hostile gunfire.
Air Force gunsmiths recently completed delivery of a new M4-style carbine designed to break down small enough to fit under most pilot ejection seats.
The Air Force Gunsmith Shop has completed delivery of the 2,700 GAU-5A Aircrew Self Defense Weapon, a 5.56mm carbine that can be quickly assembled in emergency situations, according to a recent Air Force news release.
"We were asked to design a stand-off weapon that was capable of hitting a man-size target at 200 meters," Richard Shelton, chief of the Gunsmith Shop, said in the release. "It disconnects at the upper receiver ...... and can be put together within 30 seconds if needed."
The $2.6 million weapon program was developed to meet an urgent operational need to increase downed aircrew survivability, the release states.
* Last week, the IMF sent a team of economists to Buenos Aires for the fund's first formal negotiation with Argentina's newly-elected government. * The talks, which are scheduled to end on Wednesday, are being held in order to avoid the prospect of history repeating itself. * Jimena Blanco, head of Latin America at Verisk Maplecroft, told CNBC that the risk consultancy had assigned a 77% probability that Argentina would default before the end of the year.
Argentina is on the cusp of registering another devastating default, analysts have told CNBC, as international investors anxiously await the outcome of "do-or-die" debt restructuring talks.
Argentina's government has said it needs to restructure $100 billion in debt, including $44 billion to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Last week, the IMF sent a team of economists to Buenos Aires for the fund's first formal negotiation with Argentina's newly-elected government.
The talks, which are scheduled to end on Wednesday, are being held in order to avoid the prospect of history repeating itself.
In 2001, Argentina defaulted on around $100 billion of debt. It triggered the worst economic crisis in the country's history and resulted in millions of middle-class citizens falling into poverty — a consequence many in Argentina blame on the fiscal policies enforced by the IMF at the time.
WNU Editor: One of my favourite sayings is the following .... Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I am an idiot. The IMF and the other lenders are idiots. Argentina's government has a long history of borrowing money, and then demanding partial payments and/or not paying it back. No one should lend them money.
* Xi Jinping, in a speech released over the weekend, had a message for provinces: Control the epidemic, but make sure they are fulfilling reform and development goals. * The Chinese government could face an "economic crisis" if the outbreak doesn't abate, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) wrote in a note last Friday, before the Xi speech was published. * As the outbreak unfolded, many analysts downgraded China's growth for this year. * As China struggles to get back on its feet, with factories starting to reopen and workers trickling back, progress is slow. Returning workers need to follow quarantine orders, meaning factories are still operating at limited capacity.
Already under heavy fire as the coronavirus outbreak shutters factories, disrupts supply chains and is set to shock China's already-slowing economy, Chinese President Xi Jinping, it seems, is also under pressure to still deliver the country's promised growth.
In a speech delivered Feb. 3 and released over the weekend, Xi said: "Currently, we still have to deliver this year's economic and social targets." Last year, China's growth dropped to its slowest pace in nearly three decades.
Xi, according to a translation of his remarks, said those tasks must still be "done well," with a message for provinces — other than those most severely affected by the outbreak — to keep a balancing act: Control the epidemic, but make sure they are fulfilling reform and development goals.
WNU Editor: Analysts are saying that China GDP growth will shrink to around 3.5% .... Morgan Stanley says China's first-quarter growth could fall as low as 3.5% due to coronavirus (CNBC). But my friends and contacts in China are telling me that nothing is moving, there is no growth, and there is actually a very real possibility of negative growth if this crisis continues. Who to believe? In my case I believe my friends in China who are on the front lines. And as for what may happen to Chinese President Xi? He has positioned himself that should he fall, so will everyone else.
China has revoked the press credentials of three journalists from the Wall Street Journal, citing the paper's "racist-like" remarks on China and attacks on China's media, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said on Wednesday.
The Wall Street Journal carried a recent article by Walter Russell Mead who used the term "sick man" to describe China and smeared the efforts of the Chinese government and people on fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.
The paper has so far neither made an official apology regarding the article nor informed the ministry of what it plans to do with the persons involved despite China's solemn representation.
LAS VEGAS — Sen. Bernie Sanders has jumped out to a double-digit national lead in the Democratic presidential contest after his victory in New Hampshire's primary and his second-place finish for delegates in Iowa's disorganized caucuses, while former Vice President Joe Biden has seen his support drop by 11 points since his disappointing finishes in both contests, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Tuesday.
The survey also shows former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg gaining ground in the Democratic race in the past month, confirming the findings of an earlier NPR/PBS/Marist poll that allowed him to qualify for Wednesday night's NBC News and MSNBC Democratic debate in Las Vegas.
And the poll has President Donald Trump's approval rating tied for his all-time high in the NBC News/WSJ survey, while also finding that the most unpopular candidate qualities in a general election are being a socialist, being older than 75 years of age and having a heart attack in the past year.
WNU Editor: This NBC/WSJ also says that Sen. Bernie Sanders will defeat President Trump in a general election (50 percent to 46 percent). What's my take on this Sander's surge. It is obvious that his message is resonating with a lot of Americans. That while the US economy is doing well, many are finding themselves in an economic situation where it is difficult to make ends meet, and they are responding to Sen. Sander's message. In my opinion he is the front runner in the Democrat field, and the only one positioned to stop him is former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. But Bloomberg has already spent over $300 million in his primary challenge, and even with a compliant media and the Democrat establishment firmly against the Vermont Senator, they have not stopped Sen. Bernie Sanders.

NEW DELHI: Any further movement on India-US trade deal would depend on response from Washington, officials privy to the deliberations told ET, adding there is convergence on many issues.US president Donald Trump has said his country is "not treated very well by India" but the US is "doing a very big trade deal with India". Indian trade negotiators said a decision on the deal and its structure is now a political call.According to one official, talks will continue till a deal is finalised. While dairy remains a sticky issue, officials said datarelated issues have not been discussed lately and are not part of the deal. "We are always willing to talk but now they have to figure it out," said another official."Well, we can have a trade deal with India, but I'm really saving the big deal for later on. We're doing a very big trade deal with India. We'll have it. I don't know if it'll be done before the election, but we'll have a very big deal with India," Trump said on Tuesday. He is scheduled to be in India on February 24-25. 74218339 The two sides have been negotiating a trade deal for more than year with ministers and officials of both countries discussing the issues at various domestic and global fora.In 2018-19, India's exports to the US were $52.4 billion, while imports were $ 35.5 billion. Trade deficit dipped from $21.3 billion in 2017-18 to $16.9 billion in 2018-19.As per another official, talks will continue till a deal is finalised. "The decision has to be taken at the political level now," the official said.Issues GaloreNew Delhi has said Washington is in no position to address India's concerns on dairy. India wants an assurance that the source animal was not raised on feed made of bovine extracts, similar to the certifications provided by the European Union, Australia and New Zealand, but the US has been stalling on the issue.India's concerns are two-fold. Not only is it a politically sensitive subject but also a religious issue on which New Delhi can't compromise. "They feed bovine extracts to their cattle and have no way to address our concern," said another person.Sources said India's offer to reduce duty on high-end bikes, which would cover Harley-Davidson motorcycles, has not been met with much enthusiasm from the US. Trump has often cited duties on Harley-Davidson in his trade-related criticism of India. "Harley Davidson is very much part of the package and the US is now terming it a small issue though Trump highlighted it many times," said one official.Moreover, Washington's increasing wish-list and new demands have not been taken very well by India.Besides, India has ruled out any political urgency on restoration of Generalised System of Preference (GSP) benefits as its exports under GSP product lines rose 5.5% on-year in June-December 2019, faster than 1.9% rise in total exports to the US in the same period.
Mumbai: The statutory dues of telecom operators — pegged at Rs 1.64 lakh crore — is set to rise sharply with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) now in the process of calculating dues for FY18 and FY19, officials said.The adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues of Rs 92,642 crore in licence fees, interest and penalties — which was submitted to Parliament and the Supreme Court — is till FY17. Spectrum usage charge (SUC) dues of Rs 70,869 crore though are updated till January 23, 2020."The AGR dues have been calculated till 2016-2017 — this is a long process. We are now accessing the figures for the period since then, including the penalties and interest," said a person aware of the development. "There are 22 circles and this aggregation takes time."Industry executives fear fresh DoT estimates till FY19 may push the AGR dues higher by as much 40%. This will further widen the gap between government estimates and self-assessments by telcos and could set the stage for another round of litigation between the two sides, executives said. 74218596 Self-assessment Numbers"The self-assessment numbers that will be submitted by the operators will be an updated one. However, the DoT's AGR reviews have a lag of two-three years which further adds to the issue as claims between the telcos and government differ," said Rajan Mathews, director general of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), an industry body that represents the private players. "DoT has the authority to audit the telcos' claims, but this has been an ongoing issue."So far, DoT estimates show Vodafone Idea has to pay Rs 56,709.49 crore to the government. Of this, it paid Rs 2,500 crore on Monday with the assurance that it will pay another Rs 1,000 crore by this Friday. Bharti Airtel has to pay Rs 39,723.93 crore, of which it has so far paid Rs 10,000 crore and said self-assessment is underway. Tata Teleservices so far has AGR dues of Rs 14,819.03 crore and has paid Rs 2,197 crore, which the company says is the full and final payment as per its computations.Initial calculations by Bharti Airtel peg its dues at Rs 15,000-18,000 crore while Vodafone Idea's initial computation puts it at around Rs 23,000 crore, ET has reported.The Supreme Court ruled on October 24 that AGR includes non-core items, leaving 15 telcos facing dues of more than Rs 1.64 lakh crore. Only three of these 15 — Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio Infocomm and Vodafone Idea— are currently providing telecom services. Vodafone India and Idea Cellular merged in August 2018 to form Vodafone Idea.The ruling and subsequent government demands have put pressure on cash-strapped Vodafone Idea. The government, as ET reported Wednesday, is now trying take steps to provide some relief to ensure that the sector will continue to have three private sector companies. A Vodafone Idea collapse would have an impact across sectors and the wider economy, causing job losses and possibly tainting the global perception of India as an investment decision.
Bengaluru: India's largest software exporters, Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys, are exploring options to open up their internal e-learning courses to consumers directly said top company executives, marking a first for the IT services companies as they look to build new streams of revenue.Currently, both companies use their skilling platforms – Infosys' Lex and TCS' Ion — to train over 700,000 employees, as they look to reskill their workforce."If you take the Wingspan-Lex story, there is a very small amount of work to be done to make it a consumer platform-....We are not blind to it," Salil Parekh, CEO of Infosys, told ET in a recent interview. "Our main focus is still the large enterprises, but we are looking at some of these things which might morph into it over time," he said.The company's mobile-based skilling platform – which measures the time spent by an individual in learning a new software programme, identifies gaps and prods further learning — has been rebranded as Wingspan to sell it to its existing enterprise customers.The plan is to now explore options beyond to create a consumer-facing business, top executives said.Industry leader Tata Consultancy Services, which employs over 487,000 people, is also looking to make its learning platform available to consumers at large. In 2019, it opened up the platform to students who had failed to make the cut on the national qualifier tests that it conducts while hiring freshers. 74218485 Hot Topic in India"The opportunity is there to… open it up to others, beyond the talent pool and the supply chain that we have," Ganapathy Subramaniam, chief operating officer, Tata Consultancy Services told ET.Skilling is a particularly hot topic in India. The National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) estimates that a tenth of the users on skilling platforms globally are from India. As technology becomes an increasingly key part of all industries, the demand for skills has sky-rocketed.The reskilling and certification market in India was estimated to grow to $500 million by 2021, according to a 2017 report by Google and KPMG. It accounts for a quarter of the $2.1 billion online education market.Experts are of the view that IT services companies will likely require a different group (of executives) to run a consumer-facing business."They would need a separate subsidiary in order to focus on consumer needs or license out a joint venture," said Ray Wang, founder of Silicon Valley-based Constellation Research.Infosys has a team working on a consumer strategy for Wingspan-Lex and a commercial model.Typically, consumer-focussed edtech platforms are venturecapital funded and are initially unprofitable as they spend money to scale. That is not a model that Infosys will consider, Parekh said. "We are not in the business of scaling things by making huge losses. That is not something we are good at. So we are looking at different ways of scaling it," he said.TCS has been in talks with publishers and IIT professors to host content on the platform and is looking at building a payments layer on top of the skilling platform, ET had previously reported.Though it is not yet clear whether the platforms would focus just on India or other markets as well, IT consultants said the companies would have to consider different strategies to run a consumer business."Their challenge is to uncouple them from their internal operations and make them standalone. This presents challenges in both developing better and more resilient UX capabilities as well as developing a new commercial operating model which fits the learning and development market place," said Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO of Everest Research.
By Jahangir AzizThe dust has finally begun to settle on this year's budget and post-budget monetary policy review. With the immediate reactions of the market and analysts out of the way, it's a good time to assess, with some detachment, the content of the two. Much of the equity market's disappointment was that the budget, which aims to cut the headline deficit from 3.8% of GDP last year to 3.5%, was devoid of any material tax cuts or increased spending when GDP growth has dropped to its lowest since the 2008-09 global crisis.The reality is, however, different. Most countries do not count privatisation as revenue, but as a source of financing fiscal deficit since it's just a redistribution of savings from the private sector to the government. It does not change overall demand in the economy. Excluding privatisation from revenue, as it should be, a very different picture of the fiscal stance emerges. The underlying deficit in 2018-19 at 3.9% (headline deficit 3.4%) widened to 4.1% (headline 3.8%) in 2019-20, providing 0.2% in fiscal support.For 2020-21, the underlying budgeted deficit is 4.5%, excluding the outsized 0.9% of planned privatisation. This implies a doubling of fiscal support of 0.4%. Of course, it is uncertain whether privatisation and tax collection targets will be achieved and modest fiscal changes are sufficient to put India back on its winning way. But, as of now, GoI intends to provide substantial fiscal support this year —not the other way around, as widely believed. While the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) held rates citing high inflation, RBI announced a raft of new liquidity measures, including one and three-year repos with banks. While the market waxed eloquent about these inspired measures, they raise questions about India's monetary policy framework.The shift to a formal inflation-targeting framework in 2015, and the delegation of all authority regarding interest rate policy to MPC for the first time, separated monetary policy from RBI's many other functions, including managing GoI's debt. This, by far, has been one of GoI's most effective and far-reaching structural reforms.There's a rate cut, there's notWhat happened on February 6? MPC revised higher its inflation forecast for the year on the back of the recent rise in food prices and kept policy rates on hold. At the same time, RBI announced the new long-term repo operations (LTROs) that effectively cut yields on medium-term government paper by about 25 basis points (bps). Thus, while MPC found the rise in inflation sufficiently disconcerting to keep policy rates on hold, RBI found it benign enough to effect a cut in interest rates.To be clear, I am not questioning whether the decisions were appropriate or not, although I am puzzled by MPC's inability to look past the transient rise in food inflation as implied by its own 2020 forecast and continue to cut rates. India's real lending rates (deflated with core inflation) have risen relentlessly over the past 12 months. The hoped-for domestic recovery is likely to be delayed by the outbreak of coronavirus, substantially damaging near-term global demand and intensifying global disinflation.Instead, my question is whether this is the new de facto monetary policy framework, whereby MPC decides the overnight rate and RBI the rest of the yield curve. Many will argue that the reduction in medium-term rates is an unintended consequence of LTROs, which aim to provide liquidity to improve monetary transmission and boost credit.First, if there is one lesson the recent history of India teaches us, it is that policymakers need to be wary of inadvertent spillovers from their policy choices. Second, with excess interbank liquidity at 1.5% of GDP, it is doubtful whether further injection of liquidity will boost credit. On the one hand, demand for credit is low because of weak growth. On the other, banks have appropriately tightened lending standards, as it was hoped they would, after the painful restructuring of bad loans over the last 18 months.Some will argue that there is nothing wrong with a central bank controlling the yield curve. After all, don't all the G3 (US, EU, Japan) central banks effectively do the same? True, for the most part. But there is a difference. These central banks resorted to unconventional monetary policy only after policy rates had hit zero, not when they were above 500 bps as in India. In addition, economic efficiency demands that the central bank influence the interest rate structure with minimal control and allow the market to determine the price and allocation of credit. This implies controlling rates at the shortest horizon, not the entire term structure.Separation of church & stateSeparately, even if not intended, LTROs could well be misconstrued as ways to reduce government borrowing costs. For years, GoI has been urged to relieve RBI of debt-management responsibilities and entrust these to an independent agency, as in most developed and advanced emerging market economies. This is because the two objectives — monetary policy and debt management — can lead to contradictory choices about interest policy, as is the case now. It would not be surprising if the market starts to ask whether growth-inflation dynamics, or the state of government finances, will decide the next interest rate move.While governments, both past and present, have shown little urgency in establishing an independent debt management agency, the formation of MPC and the formalisation of RBI's monetary policy objective since 2015 had been providing some degree of separation between RBI's two roles. This had helped to greatly clarify RBI's communications and, in turn, deepen credibility. Alas, these old disconnects have now resurfaced.The writer is Chief Emerging Markets Economist, JPMorgan Chase Bank
Mumbai: The statutory dues of telecom operators — pegged at Rs 1.64 lakh crore — is set to rise sharply with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) now in the process of calculating dues for FY18 and FY19, officials said.The adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues of Rs 92,642 crore in licence fees, interest and penalties — which was submitted to Parliament and the Supreme Court — is till FY17. Spectrum usage charge (SUC) dues of Rs 70,869 crore though are updated till January 23, 2020."The AGR dues have been calculated till 2016-2017 — this is a long process. We are now accessing the figures for the period since then, including the penalties and interest," said a person aware of the development. "There are 22 circles and this aggregation takes time."Industry executives fear fresh DoT estimates till FY19 may push the AGR dues higher by as much 40%. This will further widen the gap between government estimates and self-assessments by telcos and could set the stage for another round of litigation between the two sides, executives said. 74218596 Self-assessment Numbers"The self-assessment numbers that will be submitted by the operators will be an updated one. However, the DoT's AGR reviews have a lag of two-three years which further adds to the issue as claims between the telcos and government differ," said Rajan Mathews, director general of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), an industry body that represents the private players. "DoT has the authority to audit the telcos' claims, but this has been an ongoing issue."So far, DoT estimates show Vodafone Idea has to pay Rs 56,709.49 crore to the government. Of this, it paid Rs 2,500 crore on Monday with the assurance that it will pay another Rs 1,000 crore by this Friday. Bharti Airtel has to pay Rs 39,723.93 crore, of which it has so far paid Rs 10,000 crore and said self-assessment is underway. Tata Teleservices so far has AGR dues of Rs 14,819.03 crore and has paid Rs 2,197 crore, which the company says is the full and final payment as per its computations.Initial calculations by Bharti Airtel peg its dues at Rs 15,000-18,000 crore while Vodafone Idea's initial computation puts it at around Rs 23,000 crore, ET has reported.The Supreme Court ruled on October 24 that AGR includes non-core items, leaving 15 telcos facing dues of more than Rs 1.64 lakh crore. Only three of these 15 — Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio Infocomm and Vodafone Idea— are currently providing telecom services. Vodafone India and Idea Cellular merged in August 2018 to form Vodafone Idea.The ruling and subsequent government demands have put pressure on cash-strapped Vodafone Idea. The government, as ET reported Wednesday, is now trying take steps to provide some relief to ensure that the sector will continue to have three private sector companies. A Vodafone Idea collapse would have an impact across sectors and the wider economy, causing job losses and possibly tainting the global perception of India as an investment decision.
New Delhi: The government is contemplating ways to encourage domestic manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to counter a potential shortage of bulk drugs and intermediates amid the Covid-19 outbreak. A suitable ecosystem with focus on fiscal and procedural support to pharma companies is being considered.People aware of the development told ET the broader vision was to make India competitive and self-sufficient in APIs in the medium- to long-term.Niti Aayog chief executive Amitabh Kant on Wednesday chaired a meeting with representatives of top drug makers, like Dr. Reddy's, Lupin, Glenmark, Mylan, Zydus, Pfizer and Biocon. They discussed ways to reduce import dependence on China for bulk drugs or intermediates.The idea is to build API production capacity for 58 APIs, for which India is significantly dependent on China. The list has been compiled by the drug regulatory authority and contains antibiotics like azithromycin, amoxicillin, ofloxacin, metronidazole, vitamins such as B12, B1, B6 and E, female hormone progesterone and anticardiac arrest drug atorvastatin, among others."It is a good development. The government is willing to support the API industry. In the process, the industry will bounce back (and regain its) glory," said Pankaj Patel, group chairman, Zydus.Experts say the Indian API industry was ahead of China in the 1990s, but the advantages of free land, low cost utilities such as water, steam, power and negligible financing costs in China changed the dynamics, resulting in its atrophy here."The government is looking at developing API parks in India," said VV Krishna Reddy, national president, Bulk Drug Manufacturers' Association (BDMA).It is learnt that the ministry of environment and forest has assured expeditious clearances to all such related proposals. "The government wants to build and revive the industry, build capacity and expedite environmental clearances," said Sudarshan Jain, secretary general, Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance.Officials at the meeting with Kant were told to keep a watch on resumption of production, logistics, employees on duty and affected sites in China.
Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation's (IRCTC) blistering run on the bourses continues with the stock soaring 485 per cent since its listing in October, bucking the dreary performance of its other listed public sector peers. With a monopoly in the company's area of operations — catering, tourism and online ticketing for Indian Railways, investors and traders are making a beeline for the stock but analysts warn the run could stop abruptly because of stretched valuations.IRCTC shares which were listed at Rs 644 on October 10 against the offer price of Rs 320, hit a new high of Rs 1,872 on Wednesday. Analysts say the uninterrupted run in IRCTC shares is because of investors' appetite for themes that benefit from the internet expansion in the country. Almost 7.8 lakh tickets were sold daily on an average through IRCTC's website during 2018-19.The company has a strong balance sheet with net cash of Rs 1,150 crore as on September 2019 and 45 per cent dividend pay-out. IRCTC reported a 180 per cent increase in year-on-year profit at Rs 205.80 crore for the quarter ended December 31. Its revenue from operation increased 65 per cent to Rs 715.98 crore in the December quarter."Strong fundamentals and debt-free balance sheet along with decent return ratios; ROE being 26 per cent, operating margins of 20 per cent and PAT margin at 15 per cent augurs well," said Dharmesh Kant, head of research, IndiaNivesh. "We expect food catering and travel tourism segments to grow in mid-teens while operating margins of packaged water division to improve as more plants are commissioned."Despite rosy prospects, the run-up in the stock has exceeded expectations."Though IRCTC as a monopolistic firm has an excellent business model, the valuation at 40 times its FY21earnings is not sustainable for a PSU stock," said Kush Katakia, CEO, Beanstalk Advisory.Low outstanding shares of the company could keep the momentum going at least for the moment. IRCTC has a free-flat of only 2.02 crore shares of which 1.14 crore shares are with institutions such as mutual funds and foreign portfolio investors. Retail shareholders own only 61.77 lakh shares. Daily average traded volumes in the stock in February was 67 lakh shares.
Days after being battered by the Supreme Court's refusal to give any relief to telcos on their AGR dues, Vodafone Idea stock witnessed bullish activity on Wednesday. This drove the price up by almost 40 per cent at close to Rs 4.2 a share, the highest intraday surge since the stock listed.The number of shares traded at 101.5 crore were a little more than three times the average traded quantity of the past three months and the deliverable quantity at 24.57 crore shares was also more than three times the average delivered quantity over three months.On the derivatives counter, the open interest (OI) of the February futures contract rose by almost 8 per cent as its price jumped 40 per cent, indicating creation of fresh bullish bets. On the near month options' counter, the OI put-call ratio (PCR) jumped to 0.55 from 0.49 as call sellers covered their short call positions and put buyers liquidated their long put positions."The market is building hopes of telcos getting some reprieve," said Chandan Taparia, derivatives analyst at Motilal Oswal. "Whether that happens or not remains to be seen but for now there's short covering and also some speculative bullish positions being created."
New Delhi: Top industry bodies representing Indian as well as foreign companies are expected to highlight key issues pertaining to the Personal Data Protection (PDP) Bill before a Joint Parliamentary Committee that is studying the legislation, which was tabled in Parliament late last year.The issues pertain to inclusion of non-personal data in the Bill, exemptions that the government has granted for itself, voluntary verification of users by social media companies and weakening of the Data Protection Authority.The associations, which represent companies such as Infosys, TCS, Google, Facebook, Paytm and Amazon, to name a few, will highlight their concerns through written submissions within the next one week.They are also likely to raise the issue of the high cost of compliance under the provisions of the Bill and the risks to startups and the software exports industry.The JPC met for the second time on Tuesday, where officials from the Ministry of Electronics and IT briefed its members again. The committee, headed by BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi, has given stakeholders time till February 25 to submit feedback.It is expected to meet again in the first week of March.Although the clauses on data localisation have been relaxed, companies have raised concerns since the government has not defined critical, sensitive and personal data. Critical data will have to be stored only within the country.The Bill will require lot of regulatory approvals that may "slow things down" and impose additional costs on companies, said Jay Gullish, Director for Digital Economy, US-India Business Council. The clause on non-personal data may also lead to conflict, he added."Once you have anonymised the data and handed it over, are there any checks and balances in place? What about business models that are based on free information?"The industry is looking forward to a "clean" Bill and light touch regulation so that there is no need for another law when technology changes, he said.On the data localisation clause, Gullish said there is no clarity on what should be localised, and industry is seeking clarity.According to the first draft of the data Bill, one copy of all personal data had to be stored in India.However, the PDP 2019 has mandated that while all "critical" information should be stored and processed only in India, all "sensitive personal data" can be processed outside subject to certain conditions, although it will still have to be stored within the country.There is no clarity on how the processing of foreign data will be regulated, said Ashish Aggarwal, senior director at IT industry lobby group Nasscom.74217978
Whether it's in a dresser or a suitcase, folded clothes provide a helpful and less cluttered way for you to organize your everyday life. At any given time of year, you may have a variety of shirts, skirts, pants, shorts, and other clothes to fold and put away. With the proper methods, you'll be ready to store your tops and bottoms in no time.
Make your T-shirts as compact as possible. Place your garment facedown, and bring the left half of the shirt to the center. Flip the short sleeve so that it faces the outer edge of the shirt. Repeat this with the right half of the garment before tucking the curved neckline into the shirt to create a rectangular shape. Fold the shirt once more to get it ready for storage.[1]
Once you've folded your shirt, you can keep it upright in your dresser or wardrobe drawer.
If the T-shirt is on the larger side, consider folding it in thirds instead of halves.
Fold polo shirts lengthwise to store them. Place the shirt facedown on a flat surface and check that the shirt is completely buttoned before continuing. Tuck the sleeves into the center of the back, and fold the shirt in half so that the shoulders are touching. Complete the fold by bringing the bottom hem of the shirt to meet the collar.[2]
This method also works for dress shirts, or any shirt with buttons.
Fold tank tops into a small square. Set the tank top facedown on a flat surface before folding it in half lengthwise, making the garment look like a narrow rectangle. Next, fold the tank top in half again so that it forms a square. Store the tank top in a dresser, or in any place where it will fit.[3]
If your tank top has thinner straps, tuck them beneath the shirt.
Keep your dress wrinkle-free by folding it into a rectangle. Set your dress on a flat, smooth surface and brush out any obvious wrinkles from the garment. Fold the dress in half lengthwise and tuck a third of the skirt into the dress, making the garment look like a rectangle. Repeat this process on the opposite side of the skirt before folding it in half or in thirds.[4]
Smaller dresses can be folded in half, while larger dresses should be folded in thirds.
If your dress is especially fancy, consider hanging it up instead of folding it.
Tuck in the sleeves when folding a long-sleeve shirt. Set your shirt facedown on a smooth surface, like a table. Bring one third of the shirt into the center, folding the long sleeves into an "L" shape as you go. Bring the neckline of the shirt down to the hem so that the garment looks like a rectangle. Fold it half one more time before storing it.
With this method, you can store your long-sleeved shirts in an upright position.
Fold sweaters in half after tucking in the sleeves. Arrange the sweater facedown on a flat surface. Cross both of the sleeves into the center, as if the sweater is hugging itself. Finally, fold the sweater so that the bottom hem touches the neckline of the garment.[5]
If your sweater is especially bulky or big, feel free to tuck in the bottom third of the garment before folding it in half.
Keep the seams lined up when folding shorts. Fold your shorts in half symmetrically, so the material is creased over the center seam. Next, fold the center seam into the middle of the shorts. Finally, fold the shorts in half lengthwise to hide the seam.[6]
Use your hands to flatten the material as you go.
Ideally, your shorts should look like a smooth, flat square of fabric.
Fold skirts into thirds to store them. Smooth the skirt with your hands after placing it on a flat surface. Fold the skirt in half lengthwise so that it looks like a narrow rectangle before continuing. Next, tuck in the bottom and top portions of the skirt to make the garment more compact. Finally, fold it in half or in thirds to get your skirt ready for storage.[7]
To prevent wrinkles, continue to smooth out your skirt as you fold it.
Continue folding your leggings in half until they form a small square. Smooth out your leggings on a flat surface before you begin. Crease the material along the center hem so that the legs are touching before folding the leggings in half lengthwise. Finish the fold by tucking one end of the leggings into the waistband.[8]
Since leggings are generally made of a stretchier material, try to squeeze them into smaller drawers.
Fold dress pants along the crease to keep them smooth. Iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles, then fold them along the crease or center seam. Check to make sure that the material is smooth before folding the dress pants in half lengthwise.[9]
If you don't have a lot of room to store your nice pants, consider folding them in thirds.
If possible, try storing your dress pants in a garment bag.
Fold jeans into thirds. Shake out the jeans on and smooth out the inner pockets with your hands. Next, fold the jeans in half so that the back pockets are touching. After arranging them on a flat surface, tuck the groin seam into the jeans. Fold the jeans lengthwise by halves or thirds depending on where you plan on storing them.[10]
When you tuck in the groin seam, it should resemble a small triangle.
Not all clothes should necessarily be folded. Fancier clothes, like long dresses, gowns, blouses, blazers, coats, and dress pants should be stored on hangers when possible.[11]
If your clothes tend to get wrinkly, be sure to steam or iron them before you put them away.[12]
When folding long socks, bring the cuff over to the toe.[13]
Passive voice is used in writing when you want to emphasize the object of a sentence, while active voice is used when you want to emphasize the subject of a sentence. Knowing the difference between these 2 voices is vital for students and writers to understand. To teach active and passive voice, make sure to identify the subject and verb in a sentence, explain the difference between active and passive voice, and rearrange sentences from passive to active using the same verb tense.
Identify the subject and the verb in a sentence. In order for a sentence to be a sentence, it has to have a subject and a verb. The difference between active and passive voice is dependent on the order that these parts go in. Write out a sentence and underline both the subject and the verb so that they are easily identifiable.[1]
For example, "She threw the ball for her dog." "She" is the subject and "threw" is the verb.
Explain that the active voice is when the subject comes before the verb. In order to use active voice, your students need to understand that the subject must come before the verb in a sentence. Make sure that they understand that the subject must be doing the verb in a sentence for it to be active.[2]
In the sentence "She threw the ball for her dog," "She," the subject, comes before "threw," the verb.
Emphasize the importance of active voice. In writing, active voice is the preferred voice since it engages the reader and flows well. Tell your students that whenever possible, they should be using active voice.[3]
Passive voice is okay sometimes, but it should be used sparingly and in the right context.
Explain that the passive voice is when the verb acts upon the object. The passive voice is defined as a sentence that does not have an active action happening within it. You can identify the passive voice by finding sentences where the verb does something to the subject or the object of the sentence.[4]
For example, "The fish was caught by the seagull" uses the passive voice. "The fish" is the object of the sentence, and "was caught" is the verb.
Use the passive voice when you don't know the subject of the sentence. The passive voice is okay to use sometimes, like in instances where the subject of a sentence is unclear or unknown. Tell your students to use the passive voice sparingly to add suspense to their writing.[5]
For example, the sentence "The documents were stolen" uses the passive voice because you don't know who stole the documents.
Look for forms of "to be" to identify the passive voice. Most often, passive voice sentences have some form of the phrase "to be" in them. Watch out for phrases like "has been," "have been," "is," "are," and "were" as a clue for the passive voice.[6]
Identify the verb in the passive sentence. The best way to start rearranging a passive sentence is to start with the verb. Look for action words that describe what someone or something is doing in the sentence.[7]
For example, in the sentence "The cat is scared by the dog," "scared" is the verb.
In the sentence "The machines are used to mix ingredients," "used" is the verb.
Ask your students who or what is doing the verb to find the subject. You may need to add in new information to find out who or what the subject is. Identify the subject of your passive sentence to begin your new active sentence.[8]
For example, in the sentence "The cat is scared by the dog," "the dog" is the subject.
In the sentence "The machines are used to mix ingredients," you don't know who or what the subject is because it is not included. Use context clues to come up with the subject. In this example, "The chefs" or "The bakers" are 2 potential subjects.
Keep the tense of the verb the same. When switching from passive voice to active voice, it is important to keep the integrity of the sentence. Make sure that you identify if the sentence is written in the past, present, or future tense and keep it the same as you transfer it over.[9]
For example, in "The cat is scared by the dog," "is scared" is present tense.
In "The machines are used to mix ingredients," "are used" is present tense.
Put the subject before the verb in your sentence to make it active. The final step to completing a passive to active transition is to make sure your subject is before the verb. Rearrange the order of the words in the sentence so that it becomes active.[10]
For example, "The cat is scared by the dog" becomes "The dog scares the cat."
"The machines are used to mix ingredients" becomes "The chefs use machines to mix ingredients."
Complete an action and ask your students to describe what you did. Stand at the front of the classroom and do a simple action, like dropping your pen on the floor. Ask your students to use their words to describe what you did. When someone says "You dropped your pen on the floor," write that sentence down on the board as an example of the active voice.[11]
If you are teaching high school or college students, this activity may be too juvenile for them. Stick with changing sentences from passive to active voice.
Do an action and write it with the passive voice. You can either repeat the active action or choose a new one. Tell your students that this time you'll tell them what happened. Drop your pen on the floor and then write "The pen was dropped on the floor." Point this out as an example of the passive voice.[12]
If your students are understanding the passive voice so far, they may be able to figure out the passive form of your action on their own.
Drop a few objects to teach the importance of changing the verb. It can be hard for students to remember to change the verb from singular to plural in a passive voice sentence. Drop 2 or more pens at the front of the classroom and ask your students to describe your action using the passive voice.[13]
Your students should write "The pens were dropped on the floor." Point out the importance of "were" versus "was."
Discuss things that the government does using passive voice. Ask your students to think about the kinds of things that the government does for the community. Tell them to create sentences describing what the government does without using "the government" in their sentences. This will force their sentences to become passive.[14]
For example, your students could say, "The roads were fixed." "Hospitals were built." "The park benches were painted."
Earbuds can easily get tangled if you leave the wires loose. If you want to keep your cords organized and easy to use, there are many different ways to make a DIY earbud wrap or container. If you want to create something simple, try using a credit card, clothespins, or a piece of fabric to make an easy wrap. For something a little sturdier, try an empty mint container as an earphone cord holder. Once you finish making your holder, your earbuds will stay organized and tangle-free!
Punch a hole in from the short side of a credit card. Use a credit card or gift card that's expired or invalid for your project. Place a hole punch in the middle of the credit card's short side so it's about in from the edge. Squeeze the handles of the hole punch together to make the hole.[1]
The single hole will hold the jack side of the earbud cord.
You can buy a hole punch from a craft or office supply store.
Make 2 more holes on the opposite short side of the credit card. Turn the card so you're working on the other short side directly across from the hole you just punched. Punch the holes so they're in from the short side and from the long sides. That way, you have space to put each of the earbuds in the holes.[2]
Cut straight lines from the short edges of the card to the centers of each hole. Line up the scissor's blades so they're perpendicular to the short side of the credit card and so it crosses through the middle of one of the nearest hole. Make a straight cut from the short edge to the hole so there's a small slit in the card. Repeat the process with the rest of the holes so they each have a slit.[3]
The slits allow you to easily bend the credit card so you can slide the wires into the holes.
If you aren't able to cut through the card easily with scissors, make the slits with a utility knife instead.
Use your scissors to cut curved notches into the long sides of the credit card. Start your cut with a pair of scissors from the corner along the long side of the card. Carefully cut a concave curve that goes in from the long edge. End your cut so it stops from the opposite corner of the credit card. Make the same cuts on the other long side so the credit card has an hourglass shape.[4]
The curved edges will prevent the cord from sliding around so it doesn't fall off of the holder.
If there are sharp corners after you make your cuts, smooth them out with 120-grit sandpaper so you don't get hurt or damage your earbuds.
Feed the earbuds through the 2 holes on one of the short edges. Slightly push the section of the credit card between the punched holes forward so the slits open up. Feed the wire at the base of an earbud into the slit on one of the holes. Put the other earbud into the second hole on the same side of the card as the first one.[5]
Wind the cord around the notches before putting the jack in the empty hole. Straighten out the cord for the earbuds so there aren't any snags or tangles. Loosely coil the cord around the narrowest section of the cards long sides so they don't slide around on the credit card. Once you've wrapped the entire cord, push the headphone jack through the slit of the last hole.[6]
Don't pull the cord too tightly, or else you could damage the internal wires.
Paint or draw on 2 clothespins if you want your holder to have a design. If you want to add simple designs, lightly sketch on the clothespins with a pencil to see what it looks like. Fill in your design with colored markers or pencils to complete it. If you want to change the colors of the clothespins, pick an acrylic paint and brush a light coat onto them. Let the paint dry completely before moving on.[7]
Wooden clothespins work best for making earbud holders.
You don't have to paint or draw designs on the clothespins if you don't want to.
Stack and hot-glue the clothespins so the openings face opposite directions. Set one of the clothespins on top of the other so one points to the left and one points to the right. Apply a line of hot glue along the length of the top piece on one of the clothespins. Press the bottom of the second clothespin against the line of glue and hold it in place for 30 seconds so the glue can set.[8]
Hot glue dries within about 1 minute, so be sure to work quickly so the glue doesn't dry.
Clamp the earbuds in the top clothespin. Straighten out the cord for your earbuds to make sure it isn't twisted or tangled together. Squeeze the left side of the clothespin holder together to open the right side. Put the bottoms of the earbuds in the open right side and let go of the clothespins to snap them shut. The earbuds will stay tightly inside the pin so they don't pull out.[9]
Lightly tug on the cord to make sure the earbuds don't slip out from the clothespins. If they do, make sure the clothespin only clamps around the wires at the base of each earbud.
Wrap the cord around the clothespins lengthwise to secure it. Start with the wires attached to the earbuds and pull them toward the left side of the holder. Position the wires so they go in the opening you squeeze together to open the clothespins. Continue coiling the earbud cord around the large openings on the ends of the holder so it doesn't fall off. When you reach the headphone jack, clamp it in the bottom clothespin.[10]
Don't pull the cord too tightly or else you could break the internal wires and need to buy new earbuds.
Make a H-shaped template with paper. Cut a piece of paper with a pair of scissors to make a square. Fold the piece of paper in half and crease it along the edge. Cut off a rectangle from the corners on the folded edge. Unfold the piece of paper so it looks like the letter H.[11]
The notches at the top and bottom of the paper will help your earbuds stay in place without them slipping around.
Trace and cut the shape from a piece of stiffened felt. Stiffened felt is slightly thicker than standard felt, so it holds its shape better. Place the paper template on top of the felt and outline around it with a pencil or marker. Use your scissors to cut the shape out from the felt to use for your DIY earphone cord holder.[12]
You can buy stiffened felt from a fabric or craft store.
If you have trouble making clean cuts with a regular pair of scissors, use a pair that's specifically made for fabric.
Place a self-adhesive Velcro dot in the center of each long edge. Lay the piece of felt flat on your work surface so the long edges are on the left and right sides. Remove the backing paper from one of the Velcro dots and press it in the middle of the long edge on the left side of the felt. Place the second Velcro dot on the right side so it lines up with the first one when you fold the felt in half.[13]
You can buy Velcro dots online or from craft stores.
If you can't find self-adhesive Velcro dots, attach them to the felt with dots of hot glue instead.
Wrap the earbud cord around the notches in the felt. Straighten out the cord and place it on the piece of felt so the earbuds are just above the top notch. Guide the other end of the cord underneath the piece of felt and loop it around the notches on the top and bottom. Continue wrapping the cord until you reach the headphone jack.[14]
Don't pull the cord too tight, or else you could break the wires inside and damage the earbuds.
Fold the felt in half vertically to secure the Velcro dots together. Grab the left side of the felt and make a vertical fold so it lines up with the right edge. Push the Velcro dots together so they stay attached and hold the cord inside the holder. Put the holder in your pocket or a bag to transport them without getting tangled.[15]
Tie a ribbon or piece of twine around the outside of the felt if you're worried about the Velcro coming undone.
Peel the labels off of a circular plastic mint container. Look for a circular mint container that's made of plastic and has a hinged opening in the middle. Pick the label off with your fingernail and remove as much as you can by hand. Completely remove the top and bottom labels so there isn't any sticky residue left on the container.[16]
If the label or adhesive doesn't easily come off, spray an adhesive remover on the label and try wiping it off with a paper towel.
Drill 2 holes on the side of the container underneath the lid opening. Attach a bit that's thick to your drill to make your holes. Position the first hole on the side of the mint container so it's below where the lid opens. Keep your nondominant hand on top of the mint tin and slowly push the bit through the plastic. Place the second hole so it's to the left or right from the first one.[17]
You don't need to drill holes in the side of the mint container if you don't want to add a key ring. The ring allows you to clip the container to a keychain or backpack so you don't lose it.
Feed a key ring through the drilled holes. Pull apart the key ring with your fingers so you can slide it onto the mint container. Feed the end of the ring through one of the holes you drilled and push the ring through it. Rotate the ring so the end exits through the second hole. Continue rotating the ring until it snaps closed to secure it to the mint container.[18]
The key ring allows you to clip the container to a backpack, bag, or keychain so you don't misplace it.
Attach fabric to the top of the container with Mod Podge to customize it. Trace the top of the container onto a piece of fabric you want to use for your design. Cut the piece of fabric out with your scissors and line it up with the top of the mint container to ensure it fits. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the top of the container and set the fabric on top of it. Press down on the fabric to secure it to the container.[19]
You don't have to put fabric on the container if you don't want to.
Wrap your earbuds by hand into a circular coil. Straighten out the cord to make sure it doesn't have any tangles or snags. Grab the jack end of the cord with your nondominant hand and slowly wrap the cord around your fingers. Continue wrapping the cord so it has a circular shape and fits easily inside the mint container.[20]
Place the earbuds in the mint container and close the lid. Pop open the lid of the container and set your earbuds inside. Make sure the entire cord fits inside the container and doesn't stick out from the edge. Close the lid to keep your earbuds safe and tangle-free. Clip the key ring onto a keychain or a bag strap so you don't lose your earbuds.[21]
The mint container can easily also fit into a pocket or bag so you can transport your earbuds.
If you want to make your earphones hold better in your ear, knead together a 2-part molding putty until they're thoroughly combined. Shape the putty around the earphones before putting them in your ears. Shape the putty with your fingers to match the shape of your ear and let them set for 10–15 minutes. You can buy molding putty at hardware or electronics stores.[22]
The lead European Union privacy regulator for most of big tech has put out its annual report which shows another major bump in complaints filed under the bloc’s updated data protection framework, underlining the ongoing appetite EU citizens have for applying their rights.
But what the report doesn’t show is any firm enforcement of EU data protection rules vis-a-vis big tech.
The report leans heavily on stats to illustrate the volume of work piling up on desks in Dublin. But it’s light on decisions on highly anticipated cross-border cases involving tech giants including Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn and Twitter.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) began being applied across the EU in May 2018 — so is fast approaching its second birthday. Yet its file of enforcements where tech giants are concerned remains very light — even for companies with a global reputation for ripping away people’s privacy.
This despite Ireland having a large number of open cross-border investigations into the data practices of platform and adtech giants — some of which originated from complaints filed right at the moment GDPR came into force.
In the report the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) notes it opened a further six statutory inquiries in relation to “multinational technology companies' compliance with the GDPR” — bringing the total number of major probes to 21. So its ‘big case’ file continues to stack up. (It’s added at least two more since then, with a probe of Tinder and another into Google’s location tracking opened just this month.)
The report is a lot less keen to trumpet the fact that decisions on cross-border cases to date remains a big fat zero.
Though, just last week, the DPC made a point of publicly raising “concerns” about Facebook’s approach to assessing the data protection impacts of a forthcoming product in light of GDPR requirements to do so — an intervention that resulted in a delay to the regional launch of Facebook’s Dating product.
This discrepancy (cross-border cases: 21 – Irish DPC decisions: 0), plus rising anger from civil rights groups, privacy experts, consumer protection organizations and ordinary EU citizens over the paucity of flagship enforcement around key privacy complaints is clearly piling pressure on the regulator. (Other examples of big tech GDPR enforcement do exist. Well, France’s CNIL is one.)
In its defence the DPC does have a horrifying case load. As illustrated by other stats its keen to spotlight — such as saying it received a total of 7,215 complaints in 2019; a 75% increase on the total number (4,113) received in 2018. A full 6,904 of which were dealt with under the GDPR (while 311 complaints were filed under the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003).
There were also 6,069 data security breaches notified to it, per the report — representing a 71% increase on the total number (3,542) recorded last year.
While a full 457 cross-border processing complaints were received in Dublin via the GDPR’s One-Stop-Shop mechanism. (This is the device the Commission came up with for the ‘lead regulator’ approach that’s baked into GDPR and which has landed Ireland in the regulatory hot seat. tl;dr other data protection agencies are passing Dublin A LOT of paperwork.)
The DPC necessarily has to do back and forth on cross border cases, as it liaises with other interested regulators. All of which, you can imagine, creates a rich opportunity for lawyered up tech giants to inject extra friction into the oversight process — by asking to review and query everything. [Insert the sound of a can being hoofed down the road]
Meanwhile the agency that’s supposed to regulate most of big tech (and plenty else) — which writes in the annual report that it increased its full time staff from 110 to 140 last year — did not get all the funding it asked for from the Irish government.
So it also has the hard cap of its own budget to reckon with (just €15.3M in 2019) vs — for example — Google’s parent Alphabet’s $46.1BN in full year 2019 revenue. So, er, do the math.
Nonetheless the pressure is firmly now on Ireland for major GDPR enforcements to flow.
One year of major enforcement inaction could be filed under ‘bedding in’; but two years in without any major decisions would not be a good look. (It has previously said the first decisions will come early this year — so seems to be hoping to have something to show for GDPR’s 2nd birthday.)
Some of the high profile complaints crying out for regulatory action include behavioral ads serviced via real-time bidding programmatic advertising (which the UK data watchdog has admitted for half a year is rampantly unlawful); cookie consent banners (which remain a Swiss Cheese of non-compliance); and adtech platforms cynically forcing consent from users by requiring they agree to being microtargeted with ads to access the (‘free’) service. (Thing is GDPR stipulates that consent as a legal basis must be freely given and can’t be bundled with other stuff, so… )
Full disclosure: TechCrunch’s parent company, Verizon Media (née Oath), is also under ongoing investigation by the DPC — which is looking at whether it meets GDPR’s transparency requirements under Articles 12-14 of the regulation.
Seeking to put a positive spin on 2019’s total lack of a big tech privacy reckoning, commissioner Helen Dixon writes in the report: “2020 is going to be an important year. We await the judgment of the CJEU in the SCCs data transfer case; the first draft decisions on big tech investigations will be brought by the DPC through the consultation process with other EU data protection authorities, and academics and the media will continue the outstanding work they are doing in shining a spotlight on poor personal data practices.”
In further remarks to the media Dixon said: “At the Data Protection Commission, we have been busy during 2019 issuing guidance to organisations, resolving individuals' complaints, progressing larger-scale investigations, reviewing data breaches, exercising our corrective powers, cooperating with our EU and global counterparts and engaging in litigation to ensure a definitive approach to the application of the law in certain areas.
“Much more remains to be done in terms of both guiding on proportionate and correct application of this principles-based law and enforcing the law as appropriate. But a good start is half the battle and the DPC is pleased at the foundations that have been laid in 2019. We are already expanding our team of 140 to meet the demands of 2020 and beyond."
One notable date this year also falls when GDPR turns two — because a Commission review of how the regulation is functioning is looming in May.
That’s one deadline that may help to concentrate minds on issuing decisions.
Per the DPC report, the largest category of complaints it received last year fell under ‘access request’ issues — whereby data controllers are failing to give up (all) people’s data when asked — which amounted to 29% of the total; followed by disclosure (19%); fair processing (16%); e-marketing complaints (8%); and right to erasure (5%).
On the security front, the vast bulk of notifications received by the DPC related to unauthorised disclosure of data (aka breaches) — with a total across the private and public sector of 5,188 vs just 108 for hacking (though the second largest category was actually lost or stolen paper, with 345).
There were also 161 notification of phishing; 131 notification of unauthorized access; 24 notifications of malware; and 17 of ransomeware.
Amid skyrocketing operating expenses, remote work has become an obsession for Bay Area founders looking to have it both ways, accessing Silicon Valley’s networks of capital and opportunity without paying steep premiums for talent.
Daniel Gross has a deeper understanding than most of Silicon Valley’s opportunities. The Jerusalem native was one of Y Combinator’s early successes, joining with an AI startup that, at 23, he sold to Apple (we reported the deal was between $40-60 million). Gross served as a director of machine learning at Apple before returning to YC — this time as a partner.
At age 28, his role at YC behind him, Gross is now working to revamp the startup accelerator model for a remote future with his startup Pioneer. He’s received backing from Marc Andreessen and Stripe to build a program he hopes can give founders access to funding streams and talent networks that are nearly impossible to find outside Silicon Valley.
“In the way software is eating the world, remote is almost eating earth in the sense that it may very well be the way large companies are created, but also perhaps the way that venture funding takes place,” Gross told TechCrunch in an interview. “With Pioneer, the product experiment we’re running is an attempt to build a San Francisco or Mountain View — to build a city on the internet.”
Marc Andreessen, one of Pioneer’s early investors.
That lofty goal has required quite a bit of tinkering on Gross’s part over the past 18 months since he launched the startup. During that time, he’s shifted the program’s structure from a Reddit-like online contest to win cash grants to what he calls a “fully remote startup generator” that can help remote founders create companies that later apply to Y Combinator or raise money from Pioneer.
“People were really taking advantage of Pioneer as kind of an online accelerator almost organically,” Gross says. “We decided to kind of operationalize that inside and focus more on funding people that are working on things that will turn into companies and potentially offer them more funding.”
Pioneer has already backed more than 100 founders, who have created solutions like remote team product There, desktop app generator ToDesktop and software search engine Metacode.
Pioneer is hoping their efforts can provide opportunities to founders in underserved geographies and regions, but like other investors in Silicon Valley, the startup hasn’t been backing nearly as many female founders as their male counterparts. From funded entrepreneurs publicly announced on Pioneer’s blog, less than 15 percent are women.
“Pioneer is an engine for finding, funding and mentoring underrated people, many of whom I suspect are female. Our minds are constantly spinning on ways to raise awareness amongst female founders and we’re working with our community to improve female representation,” Gross wrote in an email response. “The world could stand to have many more founders like Mathilde Collin (of Front) and Laura Behrens Wu (of Shippo), and we are eager to find them."
One of Pioneer’s livestream discussions during its remote program.
Pioneer’s existence is partially the result of an advent of remote work and communication tools, but another real enabler is the competitive market for early stage investing. Mega VC funds are competing over pre-seed deals for the buzziest startups and Y Combinator’s batch sizes are ballooning, leaving little room for accelerators with similar pitches. As the world of early stage startup investing gets more crowded, investors are having to get creative. For Gross and his investors, Pioneer also represents an opportunity to scout deal flow earlier in the pipeline.
Gross has a weighty portfolio of his own angel investments including GitHub, Figma, Uber, Gusto, Notion, Opendoor, Cruise Automation and Coinbase.
An earlier structure gave Pioneer the right to invest up to $100K in startups emerging from the program if they went onto raise, but just 30% of grant awardees went on to found companies, Gross tells me. In its 2.0 form, Pioneer wants participants to give up 1% of their company to join the one-month remote program. The accelerator won’t give them cash but will help founders incorporate their startups, give them guidance via a network of experts, and toss some other substantial perks like $100K worth of cloud credits and a roundtrip ticket to San Francisco to inject a bit of face-to-face time into the process.
The biggest evolution is the more formalized investment structure for founders exiting the program. If Pioneer is excited about the progress of a particular startup, they may give it the option to raise directly from Pioneer upon completion, sticking it in one of three investment buckets and investing between $20K and $1 million.
Gross acknowledges that Pioneer will largely be making bets closer to the $20K mark as the accelerator scales its portfolio. Pioneer is relying an undisclosed amount of early funding from Gross, Andreessen and Stripe for both its investments and operating expenses. Gross says that the company has additional funding sources lined up to facilitate some of these larger investments, but that he’s reticent to raise too much too early. “This being my second rodeo, I’m well aware of the downsides of over-capitalizing and so I think we’re going to remain nimble and frugal,” Gross says.
Gross isn’t looking to replace Y Combinator, and realizes that for founders with plenty of options, Pioneer’s investments might not be the most enticing. Y Combinator invest $150K in startups for a 7% slice of equity, by comparison, a $20K investment from Pioneer will cost founders 5% of their company plus the 1% they gave up to join the accelerator in the first place. Nevertheless, Gross hopes that plenty of founders sitting on great ideas will want to take advantage of this deal.
“I think there are a lot of great companies that instead of being listed on the S&P 500 are stuck at the phase where they’re just a Python script.”
Yellow, the accelerator program launched by Snap in 2018, has selected ten companies to join its latest cohort.
The new batch of startups coming from across the U.S. and international cities like London, Mexico City, Seoul and Vilnius are building professional social networks for black professionals and blue collar workers, fashion labels, educational tools in augmented reality, kids entertainment, and an interactive entertainment production company.
The list of new companies include:
Brightly— an Oakland, Calif.-based media company angling to be the conscious consumer’s answer to Refinery29.
Charli Cohen — a London-based fashion and lifestyle brand.
Hardworkers — a Cambridge, Mass.-based professional digital community built for blue-collar workers.
Mogul Millennial — this Dallas-based company is a digital media platform for black entrepreneurs and corporate leaders.
Nuggetverse — Los Angeles-based Nuggetverse is creating a children’s media business based on its marquee character, Tubby Nugget.
SketchAR — this Lithuanian company is developing an AI-based mobile app for teaching drawing using augmented reality.
Stipop — a Seoul-based sticker API developer with a library of over 100,000 stickers created by 5,000 artists.
TRASH — using this machine learning-based video editing toolkit, users can quickly create and edit high-quality, short-form video. The company is backed by none other than the National Science Foundation and based in Los Angeles.
Veam — another Seoul-based social networking company, Veam uses Airdrop as a way to create persistent chats with nearby users as a geolocated social network.
Wabisabi Design, Inc. — hailing from Mexico City, this startup makes mini games in augmented reality for brands and advertisers.
Since launching the platform in 2018, startups from the Snap accelerator have gone on to acquisition (like Stop, Breathe, and Think, which was bought by Meredith Corp.) and to raise bigger rounds of funding (like the voiceover video production toolkit, MuzeTV, and the animation studio Toonstar).
Every company in the Yellow portfolio will receive $150,000 mentorship from industry veterans in and out of Snap, creative office space in Los Angeles and commercial support and partnerships — including Snapchat distribution.
"Building from the momentum of our first two Yellow programs, this new class approaches mobile creativity through the diverse lenses of augmented reality, platforms, commerce and media, yet each company has a clear vision to bring their products to life," said Mike Su, Director of Yellow. "This class shows us that there's no shortage of innovation at the intersection of creativity and technology, and we're excited to be part of each company's journey."
Gmail’s search is getting a significant update that will allow users to more easily narrow results to help them find a specific email. Before today, users could type in search filters by hand (e.g. label:work, has:attachment, from:marketing@company.com, etc.) or use the drop-down box to perform an advanced search. But these options were less obvious, cumbersome and therefore under-utilized by many Gmail users. With the upgraded version of Gmail search, new filters — which Google calls “search chips” — will appear directly below the search box for simple, one-click access.
At launch, there are a variety of filters available, including those that will help you narrow down emails by sender, whether or not emails have an attachment, by time frame, and more. You also can use the new filters to exclude certain types of search results — like those that are calendar updates or chats, for example. And you can specify emails by attachment type, such as text, spreadsheet or PDF.
The filters can be used in combination, helping you to narrow down searches as you go. For instance, you could search an email with a colleague’s name, which included a PDF, and was sent last month, using just a few clicks on the filters.
As anyone who’s ever tried to dig up an email from their Gmail inbox knows, Google’s search system has needed improvement. Even Google acknowledged this was true, noting in an announcement that it had heard from users that searching Gmail “could be faster and more intuitive.”
Using search filters has for years felt like a power user Gmail hack, rather than something that should be accessible to everyone — including those who don’t think like engineers.
The Gmail update is rolling out starting today, February 19, to G Suite users, and may take up to 15 days to complete, Google says.
G Suite is often the first to get a new feature, but Google confirmed to TechCrunch the plan is to bring these new filters to consumer Gmail after the G Suite rollout completes. The company doesn’t have an exact ETA for the consumer launch, but doesn’t expect it to be too long after, we’re told.
Netflix announced today that it has acquired “Don’t Look Up,” a comedy written and directed by Adam McKay, with Jennifer Lawrence attached to star.
The story sounds like a funhouse reflection of one of today’s other headlines, focusing on two “low-level astronomers” who try to warn the world about the dangers of an asteroid that’s approaching Earth. Netflix has an aggressive timeline in place, with shooting scheduled to start in April, followed by a planned release later this year.
While McKay started his career as a “Saturday Night Live” writer and then the director of Will Ferrell comedies like “Anchorman” (he and Ferrell also co-founded Funny or Die), the focus of his recent work has shifted to business and politics. He wrote (or co-wrote) and directed “The Big Short” and “Vice,” and he’s also an executive producer and director on “Succession.”
“I'm so thrilled to make this movie with Jen Lawrence,” McKay said. “She's what folks in the 17th century used to call ‘a dynamite act.’ And the fact that Netflix sees this movie as a worldwide comedy sets the bar high for me and my team in an exciting and motivating way.”
That was Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian’s simple answer when I asked if he thought he’d achieved what he set out to do in his first year.
A year ago, he took the helm of Google’s cloud operations — which includes G Suite — and set about giving the organization a sharpened focus by expanding on a strategy his predecessor Diane Greene first set during her tenure.
It’s no secret that Kurian, with his background at Oracle, immediately put the entire Google Cloud operation on a course to focus on enterprise customers, with an emphasis on a number of key verticals.
So it’s no surprise, then, that the first highlight Kurian cited is that Google Cloud expanded its feature lineup with important capabilities that were previously missing. “When we look at what we’ve done this last year, first is maturing our products,” he said. “We’ve opened up many markets for our products because we’ve matured the core capabilities in the product. We’ve added things like compliance requirements. We’ve added support for many enterprise things like SAP and VMware and Oracle and a number of enterprise solutions.” Thanks to this, he stressed, analyst firms like Gartner and Forrester now rank Google Cloud “neck-and-neck with the other two players that everybody compares us to.”
If Google Cloud’s previous record made anything clear, though, it’s that technical know-how and great features aren’t enough. One of the first actions Kurian took was to expand the company’s sales team to resemble an organization that looked a bit more like that of a traditional enterprise company. “We were able to specialize our sales teams by industry — added talent into the sales organization and scaled up the sales force very, very significantly — and I think you’re starting to see those results. Not only did we increase the number of people, but our productivity improved as well as the sales organization, so all of that was good.”
He also cited Google’s partner business as a reason for its overall growth. Partner influence revenue increased by about 200% in 2019, and its partners brought in 13 times more new customers in 2019 when compared to the previous year.
Last week at Stanford, antitrust officials from the U.S. Department of Justice organized a day-long conference that engaged numerous venture capitalists in conversations about big tech. The DOJ wanted to hear from VCs about whether they believe there’s still an opportunity for startups to flourish alongside the likes of Facebook and Google and whether they can anticipate what — if anything — might disrupt the inexorable growth of these giants.
Most of the invited panelists acknowledged there is a problem, but they also said fairly uniformly that they doubted if more regulation was the solution.
Some of the speakers dismissed outright the idea that today’s tech incumbents can’t be outmaneuvered. Sequoia’s Michael Moritz talked about various companies that ruled the world across different decades and later receded into the background, suggesting that we merely need to wait and see which startups will eventually displace today’s giants.
He added that if there’s a real threat lurking anywhere, it isn’t in an overly powerful Google, but rather American high schools that are, according to Moritz, a poor match for their Chinese counterparts. “We’re killing ourselves; we’re killing the future technologists… we’re slowly killing the potential for home-brewed invention.”
Renowned angel investor Ram Shriram similarly downplayed the DOJ’s concerns, saying specifically he didn’t think that “search” as a category could never be again disrupted or that it doesn’t benefit from network effects. He observed that Google itself disrupted numerous search companies when it emerged on the scene in 1998.
Somewhat cynically, we would note that those companies — Lycos, Yahoo, Excite — had a roughly four-year lead over Google at the time, and Google has been massively dominant for nearly all of those 22 years (because of, yes, its network effects).
Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch's venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.
This is the first Equity Shot in what feels like a long time, so, let me explain. Most of the time Equity comes out on Friday. It’s a mix of news and chat and venture happenings. It’s fun! But sometimes, a topic comes up that demands more immediate attention. That’s what happened today as we stared at Tesla’s share price wondering what in the hell was going on.
Sure, Tesla isn’t a private company (yet, at least), but as the company made it into the first-ever episode of Equity, how can we resist a dive into what is going on today?
Shares of the electric car company are surging — again — today, pushing ever-closer to the $1,000 per-share mark. So, Danny, myself and Chris on the turntables got together to riff and chat about what is going on.
For those of you who want some links, here you go:
Over the past 12 months, Maven, the benefits provider focused on women’s health and family planning, has expanded its customer base to include more than 100 companies, and grown its telehealth services to include 1,700 providers across 20 specialties — for services like shipping breast milk, finding a doula and egg freezing, fertility treatments, surrogacy and adoption.
The New York-based company, which offers its healthcare services to individuals, health plans and employers, has now raised an additional $45 million to expand its offerings even further.
Its new money comes from a clutch of celebrity investors, like Mindy Kaling, Natalie Portman and Reese Witherspoon, and institutional investors led by Icon Ventures and return backers Sequoia Capital, Oak HC/FT, Spring Mountain Capital, Female Founders Fund and Harmony Partners. Anne Wojcicki, the founder of 23andMe, is also an investor in the company.
"Maven is addressing critical gaps in care by offering the largest digital health network of women's and family health providers," said Tom Mawhinney, lead investor from Icon Ventures, who will join the Maven board of directors, in a statement. "With its virtual care and services, Maven is changing how global employers support working families by focusing on improving maternal outcomes, reducing medical costs, retaining more women in the workplace, and ultimately supporting every pathway to parenthood."
In the six years since founder Katherine Ryder first launched Maven, the company has raised more than $77 million for its service and she became a mother of two boys.
"You go through this enormous life experience; it's hugely transformative to have a child," she told TechCrunch after announcing the company’s $27 million Series B round, led by Sequoia. "You do it when your career is moving up — they call it the rush hour of life — and with no one supporting you on the other end, it's easy to say 'screw it, I'm going home to my family' … If someone leaves the workforce, that's fine, it's their choice, but they shouldn't feel forced to because they don't have support."
Some of Maven’s partners include Snap and Bumble to provide employees access to its women’s and family health provider network. The company connects users with OB-GYNs, pediatricians, therapists, career coaches and other services around family planning.
California-based mobility startup Zero Motorcycles has a new e-moto in its lineup — the fully-faired SR/S, unveiled today in New York.
The company’s CEO Sam Paschel pulled the cover off the two-wheeled EV, which is based on the platform of the company’s SR/F, released last year.
The new SR/S has the same battery and drive-train, delivering similar stats to the SR/F: a 124-mph top-speed, up to 200 miles of range, 140 ft-lbs of torque and a charge-time of 60 minutes to 95%, Paschel told TechCrunch at the debut.
Zero’s latest EV is an IoT motorcycle and manages overall performance — including engine output and handling characteristics — through digital riding modes.
The major differences on the SR/S over the SR/F are the addition of the full-fairing, a more relaxed riding position (through re-positioning of the bars and pegs) and a 13% improvement in highway range, from better aerodynamics.
The fairing brings around 20 pounds more weight to to the SR/S over the 485-pound SR/F.
On price, the base version of the SR/S is $19,995 — a dash over the SR/F’s $19,495 — and a premium SR/S (with a higher charging capacity) comes in at $21,995.
The SR/S starts shipping today to Zero’s global dealer network, which stands at 91 in the U.S. and 200 globally — the largest for any e-motorcycle company, according to Paschel.
He positioned the SR/S as more of a sport-touring machine than the the SR/F, which has a naked-bike set up that includes a more aggressive riding position and less aerodynamics on the highway.
Zero’s latest entries — the SR/F and the SR/S — come at a time when startups are pushing the motorcycle industry toward electric, though it’s not evident there’s enough demand to buy up all the new models.
The American motorcycle market has been stagnant for over a decade and is becoming crowded with EV offerings. New motorcycle sales in the U.S. dropped by roughly 50% since 2008 — with sharp declines in ownership by everyone under 40 — and have never recovered, according to Motorcycle Industry Council stats.
In a bid to revive sales and the interest of younger riders, in 2019 Harley-Davidson became the first of the big gas manufacturers to offer a street-legal e-moto for sale in the U.S. — the LiveWire — which is a forerunner to an HD product-line of electric-powered two-wheelers.
Harley-Davidson’s EV debut, the LiveWire
Harley's entry followed several failed electric motorcycle startups — Alta Motors, Mission Motors and Brammo — and put HD in the market with existing EV ventures, such as Zero.
That list is growing.
High-performance Italian EV company Energica has expanded marketing and sales in the U.S., along with Cake — a Swedish e-moto maker. This year should also see e-moto debuts by California-based Lightning Motorcycles and Fuell, a French and American-founded company with plans to release the $10,000, 150-mile range Flow.
Zero appears to have created an edge up on Harley’s LiveWire — coming in at $10,000 less than the $29,799 HD — though it’s hard to know how they stacked up against each other in 2019 since e-moto sales stats aren’t reliably tallied in the U.S.
Zero doesn’t release their sales numbers (though I tried my darnedest to pry them out of CEO Sam Paschel).
That price advantage over Harley’s LiveWire will carry over on Zero’s new SR/S, which could find its biggest competition in the anticipated release of Damon’s Hypersport.
The Vancouver e-moto startup plans to go to market with a 200-mph e-motorcycle debut. The $24,995 Hypersport is targeted toward Tesla owners and brings proprietary digital safety technology and adjustable ergonomics that are absent in Zero’s offerings — and pretty much anything else on the motorcycle market.
Time, burn rate and sales will tell which companies can find market-traction and turn a profit across all these new e-moto offerings.
Zero doesn’t divulge financials, but among the startups, they could be furthest along. The company, with $120 million of VC in its rear-mirrors — per Crunchbase — has no plans to raise more, according to Paschel.
“We don’t need it,” he told TechCrunch, adding that the venture’s biggest challenge in 2019 was keeping production up to speed with buyer demand for their SR/F.
Zero is likely hoping for that good kind of a problem with its new SR/S in 2020.
Increased competition from competitors like Hulu and YouTube TV and even Netflix has finally taken its toll on Dish’s live TV streaming service, Sling TV. This week, the company reported its first-ever decline in Sling TV subscribers, with a drop of 94,000 customers in the fourth quarter. In the year-ago Q4, Sling TV had gained 50,000 subscribers, for comparison. The streaming service ended the year with 2.59 million total subscribers, Dish says.
In prior quarters, Sling TV’s gains have helped offset some of the losses from Dish’s traditional pay-TV business. But in the fourth quarter of 2019, both sides of Dish’s business appear to be in jeopardy. On the pay-TV front, the company lost around 100,000 subscribers, in addition to 94,000 it lost from Sling TV.
By year-end 2019, Dish had 11.99 million total subscribers compared with the 12.32 million it reported at the end of 2018.
Although five-year-old Sling TV was one of the first TV streaming services to hit the market, in the years since it has battled for cord cutters’ dollars against a growing number of alternatives. In addition to YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV has also had to compete against niche live TV services like Philo and sports-focused fuboTV.
But Sling TV also today faces competition from other streamers, even if they’re not squarely aimed at cord-cutters who want access to live TV. After all, consumers have only so much money in the budget for entertainment — and today, there are so many options for streaming TV besides Netflix. CBS, for example, streams news, TV and sports via its CBS All Access service; premium channels like HBO, Cinemax, Starz and Showtime offer their own over-the-top subscriptions; Amazon Prime Video is wrapped into Amazon’s expensive annual membership; and now new services from Disney and Apple have also arrived.
In the months ahead, the market will expand even further as new streaming services Peacock (NBCU), HBO Max (WarnerMedia/AT&T) and Quibi prepare to launch.
Sling TV’s drop in subscribers follows a price hike announced in December which raised prices of its two tiers from $25 each to $30, or $45 for both. It also follows a number of programming changes to the Sling TV lineup, the company noted.
This decrease in net Sling TV subscriber additions is primarily related to increased competition, including competition from other OTT service providers, and to a higher number of customer disconnects on a larger Sling TV subscriber base, including the impact from Univision, AT&T and Fox RSNs' removal of certain of their channels from our programming lineup.
In June and November 2018, Univision removed channels from the Sling TV lineup, some of which were restored with a March 2019 agreement. In October 2018, AT&T removed HBO and Cinemax channels from the Sling TV lineup, which have not been restored. And in July 2019, Fox Regional Sports Networks removed its channels from the Sling TV lineup. The channels have since been acquired by Sinclair.
With programming in a constant state of flux, while subscription prices increase, many consumers don’t see the value in over-the-top television — especially when there’s so much to watch elsewhere and for much less.
In addition, Sling TV’s app isn’t as well-designed as those from rivals like Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV, or as innovative when it comes to the roll out of new features or personalization technology. Hulu, for example, customizes recommendations based on viewer behavior and now, explicit signals from new Like and Dislike buttons. Sling TV, meanwhile, didn’t bother with personalized recommendations until last year.
Dish is already diversifying, in light of the bad news ahead for pay-TV. As a part of its deal with T-Mobile and Sprint ahead of their merger, Dish is acquiring Sprint’s prepaid business, including Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile, plus all of Sprint’s 800 MHz spectrum. Dish will utilize T-Mobile and Sprint’s cell sites to run its own wireless business for seven years, while it builds its own 5G network, the agreement said. The company may also look for strategic partners as it grows its wireless business, the company noted on the earnings call today.
We’re not in immediate danger of any asteroids colliding with Earth — at least not as far as anyone’s aware. But it’s not like it hasn’t happened before, and there is an expected near-miss coming up in 2029. Accordingly, it’s probably best to be prepared, and MIT researchers have developed a system that could help determine the best possible method to avoid a collision — long before the situation becomes desperate.
An MIT team led by former MIT graduate student Sung Wook Paek describe a “decision map” in newly published research that would take into account the mass and relative momentum of an approaching asteroid, as well as the expected time we have before it enters into a so-called “keyhole” — basically a gravitational halo around Earth that, once entered, all but guarantees the asteroid will collide with the planet.
The MIT-developed decision map basically details three different choices in terms of how to deflect an approaching asteroid: Launching a projectile at it to alter its course; sending a scout first to get accurate measurements to inform the best possible development of said projectile; and sending two scouts, in order to get measurements and also potentially nudge the object using propulsion, setting it up for an easier projectile-based knockout later on.
Time is the key factor in the model based on simulations run using asteroids Apophis and Bennu, two known objects we know relatively a lot about, including the locations of their gravitational keyholes in terms of proximity to Earth. The tests showed that with five or more years, the best course is to send two scouts and then the projectile. Between two and five years out, you’re most likely to succeed with the single scout followed by a projectile fired from Earth. At one year or less, the bad news is that nothing seems all that likely to succeed.
The official plan for avoiding impacts from near-Earth objects involves potentially firing nuclear weapons at them, which is not a super-popular option. This method developed by MIT could help mean it never comes to that, provided our advanced detection methods are effective enough.
TechCrunch is returning to UC Berkeley on March 3 to bring together some of the most influential minds in robotics and artificial intelligence. Each year we strive to bring together a cross-section of big companies and exciting new startups, along with top researchers, VCs and thinkers.
In addition to a main stage that includes the likes of Amazon's Tye Brady, UC Berkeley's Stuart Russell, Anca Dragan of Waymo, Claire Delaunay of Nvidia, James Kuffner of Toyota's TRI-AD and a surprise interview with Disney Imagineers, we'll also be offering a more intimate Q&A stage featuring speakers from SoftBank Robotics,Samsung, Sony's Innovation Fund, Qualcomm, Nvidia and more.
Alongside a selection of hand-picked demos, we'll also be showcasing the winners from our first-ever pitch-off competition for early-stage robotics companies. You won't get a better look at exciting new robotics technologies than that. Tickets for the event are still available. We’ll see you in a couple of weeks at Zellerbach Hall.
Agenda
8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Registration Open Hours
General attendees can pick up their badges starting at 8:30 am at Lower Sproul Plaza located in front of Zellerbach Hall. We close registration at 4:00 pm.
The UC Berkeley professor and AI authority argues in his acclaimed new book, Human Compatible, that AI will doom humanity unless technologists fundamentally reform how they build AI algorithms.
Maxar Technologies has been involved with U.S. space efforts for decades, and is about to send its sixth (!) robotic arm to Mars aboard NASA’s Mars 2020 rover. Lucy Condakchian is general manager of robotics at Maxar and will speak to the difficulty and exhilaration of designing robotics for use in the harsh environments of space and other planets.
Amazon Robotics’ chief technology officer will discuss how the company is using the latest in robotics and AI to optimize its massive logistics. He’ll also discuss the future of warehouse automation and how humans and robots share a work space.
Can robots help us build structures faster, smarter and cheaper? Built Robotics makes a self-driving excavator. Toggle is developing a new fabrication of rebar for reinforced concrete, Dusty builds robot-powered tools and longtime robotics pioneer Boston Dynamics has recently joined the construction space. We'll talk with the founders and experts from these companies to learn how and when robots will become a part of the construction crew.
Leading investors will discuss the rising tide of venture capital funding in robotics and AI. The investors bring a combination of early-stage investing and corporate venture capital expertise, sharing a fondness for the wild world of robotics and AI investing.
As robots become an ever more meaningful part of our lives, interactions with humans are increasingly inevitable. These experts will discuss the broad implications of HRI in the workplace and home.
Autonomous driving is set to be one of the biggest categories for robotics and AI. But there are plenty of roadblocks standing in its way. Experts will discuss how we get there from here.
This summer’s Tokyo Olympics will be a huge proving ground for Toyota’s TRI-AD. Executive James Kuffner and Max Bajracharya will join us to discuss the department’s plans for assistive robots and self-driving cars.
In 1920, Karl Capek coined the term “robot” in a play about mechanical workers organizing a rebellion to defeat their human overlords. One hundred years later, in the context of increasing inequality and xenophobia, the panelists will discuss cultural views of robots in the context of “Robo-Exoticism,” which exaggerates both negative and positive attributes and reinforces old fears, fantasies and stereotypes.
Machine learning and AI models can be found in nearly every aspect of society today, but their inner workings are often as much a mystery to their creators as to those who use them. UC Berkeley’s Trevor Darrell, Krishna Gade of Fiddler Labs and Karen Myers from SRI will discuss what we’re doing about it and what still needs to be done.
The benefits of robotics in agriculture are undeniable, yet at the same time only getting started. Lewis Anderson (Traptic) and Sebastien Boyer (FarmWise) will compare notes on the rigors of developing industrial-grade robots that both pick crops and weed fields respectively, and Pyka’s Michael Norcia will discuss taking flight over those fields with an autonomous crop-spraying drone.
Robotics and AI are the future of many or most industries, but the barrier of entry is still difficult to surmount for many startups. Speakers will discuss the challenges of serving robotics startups and companies that require robotics labor, from bootstrapped startups to large-scale enterprises.
5:30 PM – 7:30 PM

With the days of desert-themed releases officially behind it, Google today announced the first developer preview of Android 11, which is now available as system images for Google’s own Pixel devices, starting with the Pixel 2.
As of now, there is no way to install the updates over the air. That’s usually something the company makes available at a later stage. These first releases aren’t meant for regular users anyway. Instead, they are a way for developers to test their applications and get a head start on making use of the latest features in the operating system.
“With Android 11 we're keeping our focus on helping users take advantage of the latest innovations, while continuing to keep privacy and security a top priority,” writes Google VP of Engineering Dave Burke. “We've added multiple new features to help users manage access to sensitive data and files, and we've hardened critical areas of the platform to keep the OS resilient and secure. For developers, Android 11 has a ton of new capabilities for your apps, like enhancements for foldables and 5G, call-screening APIs, new media and camera capabilities, machine learning, and more.”
Unlike some of Google’s previous early previews, this first version of Android 11 does actually bring quite a few new features to the table. As Burke noted, there are some obligatory 5G features like a new bandwidth estimate API, for example, as well as a new API that checks whether a connection is unmetered so apps can play higher-resolution video, for example.
With Android 11, Google is also expanding its Project Mainline lineup of updatable modules from 10 to 22. With this, Google is able to update critical parts of the operating system without having to rely on the device manufacturers to release a full OS update. Users simply install these updates through the Google Play infrastructure.
Users will be happy to see that Android 11 will feature native support for waterfall screens that cover a device’s edges, using a new API that helps developers manage interactions near those edges.
Also new are some features that developers can use to handle conversational experiences, including a dedicated conversation section in the notification shade, as well as a new chat bubbles API and the ability to insert images into replies you want to send from the notifications pane.
Unsurprisingly, Google is adding a number of new privacy and security features to Android 11, too. These include one-time permissions for sensitive types of data, as well as updates to how the OS handles data on external storage, which it first previewed last year.
As for security, Google is expanding its support for biometrics and adding different levels of granularity (strong, weak and device credential), in addition to the usual hardening of the platform you would expect from a new release.
There are plenty of other smaller updates as well, including some that are specifically meant to make running machine learning applications easier, but Google specifically highlights the fact that Android 11 will also bring a couple of new features to the OS that will help IT manage corporate devices with enhanced work profiles.
This first developer preview of Android 11 is launching about a month earlier than previous releases, so Google is giving itself a bit more time to get the OS ready for a wider launch. Currently, the release schedule calls for monthly developer preview releases until April, followed by three betas and a final release in Q3 2020.
Founders Fund, the investment firm led by its controversial co-founder Peter Thiel and partners Keith Rabois and Brian Singerman, has closed on $3 billion in new capital across two investment funds, TechCrunch confirmed.
The firm’s $1.2 billion Founders Fund VII closed in December and follows on the heels of a $1.3 billion Fund VI, which closed in 2016. The firm’s first growth fund, which raked in $1.5 billion, closed on Monday as well, according to a spokesperson for the investment firm. An additional $300 million in commitments is coming from the firm’s partnership to round out the $3 billion figure.
Fundraising for the new investment vehicles was first reported in The Wall Street Journal last October. And it follows the reunion earlier in 2019 of Rabois and Thiel — two of the most notorious members of the “PayPal mafia” that’s produced a number of billionaire entrepreneurs and investors.
The speed with which Founders Fund has been able to raise new capital is matched by the firm’s alacrity in deploying new dollars, according to industry watchers. Rabois in particular has made a splash at Founders Fund since joining the firm — investing large sums in competitive rounds, investors said.
But the firm’s success in fundraising is likely due to the returns it has been able to reap for its limited partners. For its 2011-vintage fund four, Founders Fund has more than quadrupled every dollar that the fund committed, to $4.60, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal (thanks to investments in Airbnb and Stripe Inc.). That figure compares favorably to the industry average of $2.11. Meanwhile, the firm’s third fund saw its returns increase to $3.80, 75 cents more than the industry average.
As for how decisions get made, Banister explained that the voting structure is dependent on the size of the check. "So you'd meet with one or two or three or four partners, depending on your [investing] stage," she told attendees. Because she's looking at very early-stage startups, for example, she doesn't have to meet with many people to make a decision. As "dollar amounts gets larger," she continued, "you're looking at full GP oversight," including the involvement of senior members like Brian Singerman and Keith Rabois, and "that can a little more difficult."
At Axios, Dan Primack reported that the growth fund would write checks of $100 million at least. The firm’s investment decisions would be structured with any two investment team members agreeing to back deals under $1.5 million. Any deal above $1.5 million requires approval from one partner and a general partner; deals above $5 million require one partner and two general partners; and deals above $10 million require approvals from two partners and the unanimous approval of Singerman, Thiel and Rabois. Any deal requiring the approval of the general partners means that the startup that is pitching has to at least talk on the phone or meet in person with the general partners.
Update: This story has been updated to reflect that the firm’s Fund VII was $1.2 billion and its Growth Fund was $1.5 billion.
Google Cloud today announced that its new Seoul region, its first in Korea, is now open for business. The region, which it first talked about last April, will feature three availability zones and support for virtually all of Google Cloud’s standard service, ranging from Compute Engine to BigQuery, Bigtable and Cloud Spanner.
With this, Google Cloud now has a presence in 16 countries and offers 21 regions with a total of 64 zones. The Seoul region (with the memorable name of asia-northeast3) will complement Google’s other regions in the area, including two in Japan, as well as regions in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the obvious focus here is on serving Korean companies with low-latency access to its cloud services.
“As South Korea's largest gaming company, we’re partnering with Google Cloud for game development, infrastructure management, and to infuse our operations with business intelligence,” said Chang-Whan Sul, the CTO of Netmarble. “Google Cloud's region in Seoul reinforces its commitment to the region and we welcome the opportunities this initiative offers our business.”
Over the course of this year, Google Cloud also plans to open more zones and regions in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Jakarta, Indonesia.
Blue Apron considers “strategic alternatives,” Facebook experiments with different News Feed formats and Twitter buys a startup focused on the Stories format. Here’s your Daily Crunch for February 19, 2020.
Meal kit company Blue Apron has been struggling for a long time, with its lackluster debut on the public market, employee lawsuits and layoffs. So it should come as no surprise that the company announced that it’s exploring “strategic alternatives” like selling itself, merging or raising more capital.
“Our strategic alternatives process, together with our cost optimization initiatives, is intended to best position the company for the future, including to support our growth strategy,” said CEO Linda Findley Kozlowski in a statement. “These efforts reflect the commitment of the Board, management and myself to doing what's in the best interest of the business, Blue Apron's shareholders and other stakeholders."
Facebook may make it easier to escape its ranking algorithm and explore the News Feed in different formats. The company has internally prototyped a tabbed version of the News Feed for mobile that includes the standard Most Relevant feed, along with the existing-but-buried Most Recent feed of reverse chronological posts and an Already Seen feed of posts that was only available on desktop via a largely unknown URL.
Is a Twitter Stories format on its way? The company has just acquired Chroma Labs, a startup co-founded by Instagram Boomerang inventor John Barnett with an app to let you fill in stylish layout templates and frames for posting to Instagram Stories, Snapchat and elsewhere.
The marquee feature here is probably the addition of the Object Selection tool in Photoshop on the iPad. With this tool, Adobe is giving creatives a way to select and manipulate one or multiple objects in complex scenes.
One of countless unintended consequences of the coronavirus-prompted cancellation of MWC will be a broader debate about trade shows in general. In many ways, it's an extension of a conversation that’s been going on for years: Are trade shows worth it? (Extra Crunch membership required.)
Cryptocurrency company Coinbase has been working with Paysafe to issue the Coinbase Card, a Visa debit card that works with your Coinbase account balance. The company is now a Visa Principal Member, which should help Coinbase rely less on Paysafe and control a bigger chunk of the card payment stack.
The aim is to try to cash in early on an increasing number of startups in the cybersecurity space that could go on to become the next CrowdStrike or Cloudflare — which both saw massive exits last year when they went public at valuations of several billion apiece.

In the murky world of crypto and blockchain, taking disputes to a traditional court would either land both the plaintiff and the defendant in jail or confuse the court to the point of total befuddlement. You can just imagine the scenario:
"What is a DAO?"
"It's a decentralized autonomous organization, your honor."
"Please speak in English!"
Meanwhile, blockchain-native “communities,” such as they are, find it almost impossible to settle disagreements using traditional courts. And it turns out capitalism runs on the law. So this limits the amount of business they can do on the internet. Oh, the irony.
A few years ago a project called Aragon came along. Aragon provided the framework and tools needed to create decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) ranging from structures created for thousands of users to simple ones designed for just a handful of people. Its so-called "court system" can handle “subjective disputes that require the judgment of human jurors,” according to them.
This is all well and good, but they also require genuine investors who know what they are doing.
Today to the company is announcing a small investment from Tim Draper, the billionaire VC who has previously backed Tesla, SpaceX, Coinbase and Baidu, but also went heavily into crypto a few years back.
Draper Associates is buying into the Aragon network's ANT token to the tune of $1 million. Not a lot in the “normal” tech investing world, but quite a lot in terms of the still very nascent blockchain world. Draper is the latest addition to Aragon's backers, which include New York-based firms Placeholder and CoinFund, and Silicon Valley-based firm BoostVC.
Draper is a big proponent of cryptocurrencies, and bought nearly 30,000 bitcoins from the government auction of seized assets from Silk Road in 2014, making him an even more wealthy man, and also a relatively smart predictor of the blockchain world.
Aragon, founded by entrepreneurs Luis Cuende and Jorge Izquierdo, aims to create what they call the world's first "digital jurisdiction," providing tools for the management of digital organizations, as well as an online dispute resolution service.
So far it counts more than 1,000 organizations created on its platform since its launch in late 2018. So it's not unlike registering a company on a database but also having a trusted third party in the case of legal disputes.
Aragon's token, ANT, is used for the governance of the network. The network's dispute resolution service, Aragon Court, has 247 real-world, human jurors on the platform, and counting. Presumably, they are independent. The Aragon Court started operating on February 10th.
"You don't get to create a new jurisdiction every day. After Aragon, the governing of the world will never be the same," said Draper in a statement.
Draper is known for being a promoter of government innovation, launching the Six Californias initiative and being involved in Estonia's eResidency program. Tim Draper will also join Aragon's advisory board and continue supporting the project.
ANT holders can use their tokens to participate in Aragon Court. More than one million ANT has already been deposited ahead of its launch.
"Aragon aims to become the internet's de facto jurisdiction, and Aragon Court is its backbone. We are extremely excited to work with Tim. If there is someone who can advise on building a new jurisdiction, it's Tim," said Cuende, whose previous startup in the Bitcoin industry was backed by Draper, too.
Aragon has also announced Aragon Chain, a blockchain built specifically for Aragon, after issues with Ethereum have arisen.
TC Sessions: Mobility 2020 is gearing up to be a lit event. The one-day event, taking place May 14 in San Jose, has just added Dmitry Shevelenko, co-founder and president of an automatic repositioning startup for micromobility vehicles. Yes, that means we’ll be having autonomous scooters rolling around onstage — #2020.
Tortoise, which recently received approval to deploy its tech in San Jose, is looking to become an operating system of sorts for micromobility vehicles. Just how Android is the operating system for a number of mobile phones, Tortoise wants to be the operating system for micromobility vehicles.
Given the volume of micromobility operators in the space today, Tortoise aims to make it easier for these companies to more strategically deploy their respective vehicles and reposition them when needed. Using autonomous technology in tandem with remote human intervention, Tortoise's software enables operators to remotely relocate their scooters and bikes to places where riders need them, or, where operators need them to be recharged. On an empty sidewalk, Tortoise may employ autonomous technologies, while it may rely on humans to remotely control the vehicle on a highly trafficked city block.
Before co-founding Tortoise, Shevelenko served as Uber's director of business development. While at Uber, Shevelenko helped the company expand into new mobility and led the acquisition of JUMP Bikes . Needless to say, Shevelenko is well-versed to talk about the next opportunities in micromobility.
Other speakers at TC Sessions: Mobility 2020 include Waymo COO Tekedra Mawakana; Uber’s director of Policy, Cities & Transportation, Shin-pei Tsay; and Argo AI co-founder and CEO Bryan Salesky.
Tickets are on sale now for $250 (early-bird status). After April 9, tickets go up, so be sure to get yours before that deadline. If you’re a student, tickets cost just $50.
Early-stage startups in the mobility space can book an exhibitor package for $2,000 and get four tickets and a demo table. Packages allow you to get in front of some of the biggest names in the industry and meet new customers. Book your tickets here.
TikTok announced today the introduction of a new set of parental controls, called “Family Safety Mode,” designed to let parents set limits on their teenage children’s use of the TikTok mobile app. The suite of features includes screen-time management controls, limits on direct messages and a restricted mode that limits the appearance of inappropriate content.
According to TikTok, parents who want to enable Family Safety Mode must first create their own account on the app, which is then linked to the teen’s account. Once enabled, parents will be able to control how long the teen can spend on the app every day; turn off or limit who the teen can direct message; and choose to turn on TikTok’s “restricted” mode that will limit inappropriate content.
To be clear, these features were already available in the app for users to set for themselves. The new Family Safety Mode just puts a parent or guardian in charge of toggling the switches on or off for their teens, and prevents the settings from being changed without parents’ involvement.
It’s not clear how well TikTok’s restricted mode works, as TikTok doesn’t explain the screening process it uses. For an app of this scale, it’s likely based in large part on users flagging inappropriate videos, however. Parents should be aware, then, that restricted mode is not going to be a foolproof means of controlling the user experience.
The new set of parental controls is actually only a subset of the controls users can enable for themselves. For example, users can also choose to make their accounts private, turn off commenting or control who’s allowed to duet with them, among other things.
But the controls do tackle some of parents’ largest concerns around the addictive nature of TikTok’s app, the content being delivered and the private messages that parents can’t monitor.
The launch timing follows increased scrutiny by government regulators of TikTok, owned by Beijing-based ByteDance.
In 2019, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission fined the app Musical.ly (which had been acquired by ByteDance) $5.7 million for violation of U.S. children's privacy law COPPA. And in the U.K., TikTok has been under investigation by the U.K.'s Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) for potential GDPR violations around the protection of children’s data.
Not coincidentally, TikTok says the new parental controls are first available in the U.K., starting today. They’ll roll out to other markets in the weeks ahead, TikTok says, but didn’t indicate which ones.
The parental controls, however, have been designed with European law in mind. In the U.S., TikTok offers the age-gate for younger users, but not controls for parents like this.
In addition to the launch of Family Safety mode, TikTok partnered with creators to produce a series of safety videos about screen-time management to encourage users to take a break from their phone. These are being added to the TikTop Tips video series and will also roll out in the app starting first in the U.K. today.
