Enlarge / The front of the iPhone 12. (credit: Samuel Axon) Developers are once again publicly highlighting instances in which Apple has failed to keep scam apps off of the app store. The apps in question charge users unusual fees and siphon revenue from legitimate or higher-quality apps. While Apple has previously come under fire for failing to block apps like these from being published, developers complained this week that Apple was actually actively promoting some of these apps. Apple’s Australian App Store published a story called “Slime relaxations” highlighting a certain category of apps. But according to some developers and observers, some of those apps have very high subscription… Read More

(credit: Getty | Joe Raedle) The dire COVID-19 situation in Florida continues to worsen as local and federal leaders push back against Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and his efforts to thwart public health measures. DeSantis has banned businesses, local governments, and schools in Florida from requiring proof of vaccination. Last Friday, DeSantis issued an executive order barring schools from requiring children to wear masks. In signing the executive order, the governor’s office called federal recommendations for masks “unscientific” and claimed the order… Read More

(credit: Wikimedia Commons) The central dogma of molecular biology holds that DNA gets transcribed into RNA, which then gets translated into proteins. Of course, there are exceptions—some viruses, like coronaviruses, forego DNA altogether and encode their genetic information in RNA genomes. Other viruses, like HIV, have RNA genomes that must be copied into DNA and then transcribed back into RNA before being made into proteins. But as a general rule, “DNA to RNA to protein” describes how information moves within cells. A unique property of biological molecules is that they have… Read More
Continue ReadingHow Uber plans to rebound from massive Q2 losses stemming from driver incentives
Uber’s second quarter earnings revealed greater than expected losses, in large part due to the company’s massive $250 million stimulus package launched in April to incentivize drivers back onto the app after a pandemic-induced shortage. The company reported a loss of $509 million before EBITDA. For comparison, Lyft reported a positive adjusted EBITDA in the quarter at $23.8 million the day before. Uber’s losses point to a larger problem facing the app-based ride-hailing industry: The triple threat of lagging driver supply, the cost of attracting them, and the Covid-19 Delta variant looming in the periphery. “Drivers increasingly want to get back on the road,” said CEO Dara Khosrowshahi during the… Read More

Summary List Placement Turning on dark mode changes an app’s background to a darker color — usually black instead of white — to reduce the amount of bright white light on your screen. While dark mode isn’t actually better for your eyes, it can help your device save battery and it can feel gentler to look at, especially before bed. Related Article Module: A beginner’s guide to Instagram, the wildly popular photo-sharing app with over a billion users Instagram has dark mode for iPhones or iPads running iOS 13 or higher and Androids running Android 10 or higher.
