Lyft is expanding its climate-friendly option to a range of new cities, as the rideshare platform works toward its mission of making all of its vehicles electric by the end of 2030.
Lyft “Green” mode, which was previously only available in Portland, allows consumers to specifically request electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles.
Starting April 17, the feature will be accessible in San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, Boston, New York City, Chica
At last, Elon Musk’s culling of legacy verified accounts on Twitter might finally be getting underway.
The site’s “Twitter Verified” feed, which historically has followed all verified accounts (before the launch of Twitter Blue) began a mass unfollowing Thursday afternoon.
It’s making fast work of it, too. At 3:40 p.m. ET, the account was following 224,300 accounts. By 4:25 p.m. ET, that number was down to 95,000. And at 5:00 p.m. ET, it
Apple is preparing to open its first actual store in India, more than 20 years after the company first entered the market through third-party sellers, according to a brief statement.
The store, called Apple BKC, is currently set to open in the Jio World Drive Mall in Mumbai, owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani. Apple did not specify an opening date, but wrote that the store is “coming soon.”
“Hello Mumbai,” the statement reads, with colorful sign
Money can buy everything, the saying goes, except for good health and more years on the clock. Startup Tally Health intends to challenge that. The New York City-based biotech company wants to build a business out of slowing the impacts of aging, offering tailored suggestions to help people stay healthy—and, in turn, perhaps live longer.
The company racked up a 270,000-person waitlist ahead of its February launch, and on Thursday announced $10 million in seed funding, led by K
A moratorium on regulating human commercial spaceflight—aka space tourism—is set to expire in October, and the folks at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are at a crossroads: to renew or not to renew?
In a report published this week by RAND, researchers determined that the commercial human spaceflight industry has progressed far enough that it’s time for the FAA to allow the moratorium to expire and start imposing certain regulations on the ind
Dialogue about the rise of artificial intelligence appears to have fallen into two categories: Generative AI will save the world, or it will ruin it. But there’s a middle ground that’s been left out, says Leslie Witt, the chief product and design officer at Headspace Health.
“What we’re invested in is, how do we superpower the expert so that they can scale, so that they can be that much more confident in what it is that they’re doing and that much
More than 400,000 people have signed on to Twitter Blue, the $8-per-month subscription that CEO Elon Musk launched late last year. That not-insignificant total comes despite mass confusion over the social media giant’s verified blue check mark program.
Musk had previously tweeted that users who had been verified under the old program—celebrities, public officials, journalists, and the like—would lose their so-called legacy blue check mark on April 1 unless they
Venture capital in the United States this year is on pace to see the lowest fundraising since 2017, according to new data from the Q1 2023 PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor.
The VC industry has slowed dramatically from the highs of 2021, as broader market pressures and increased interest rates have led VC firms to focus on fundamentals rather than on pushing their portfolio companies forward with a growth-at-all-cost mindset.
The report says that the momentum gained in 2021 i
With countless users jumping off the Twitter train since Elon Musk took over, and millions more expected to leave in the coming year, alternatives to the platform were bound to emerge. Now a bold new competitor has arrived, and it comes from the email subscription platform Substack.
The publishing platform announced a new Notes feature today. It closely resembles Twitter in its design, and, much like “tweeting,” allows users to share posts, images, and ideas. It also h
“3-16.”
It’s a term that’s been uttered thousands of times within the conference rooms and hallways at Microsoft over the past few months. It refers to March 16, the day the company announced that it had brought generative AI models codeveloped with OpenAI into its Microsoft 365 productivity suite. Under the new initiative, every app, from Outlook to Word to Teams, will have a generative AI-powered “Copilot.” The technology is currently bein
