It has become a common refrain during Google's antitrust saga: What happened to "don't be evil?" Google's unofficial motto has haunted it as it has grown ever larger, but a shareholder lawsuit sought to rein in some of the company's excesses. And it might be working. The plaintiffs in the case have reached a settlement with Google parent company Alphabet, which will spend a boatload of cash on "comprehensive" reforms. The goal is to steer Google away from the kind of anticompetitive practices th

Google is still waiting to hear how it will have to address its monopoly in the search engine business — it plans to appeal the judgement — but in the meantime, it also has to answer to its shareholders. According to a report from The Financial Times, Google's parent company Alphabet has reached a preliminary settlement with shareholders who were also suing the company for allowing Google's anticompetitive behavior, which they believe exposed the company to "reputational damage" and "substantial

I’ve tested out a number of e-bikes in my time here at TechCrunch. And I’ve never been so tempted to hang onto one as I have with Heybike’s new Alpha. This sturdy, fat-tire, all-terrain e-bike is worth the $1,699 price tag. The Alpha ticked a whole lot of my boxes, including ones I didn’t even know I had. For instance, I knew I’d like an e-bike with pedal assist and a throttle, but I didn’t know that I would love an e-bike with pedal assist, a throttle, and a manual shifter. Perhaps the dreamie

As part of the model tuning phase, I wanted to explore the impact of class imbalance and try to mitigate it. A popular “off-the-shelf” solution to imbalance is weighting classes in inverse proportion to their frequency - which didn’t yield an improvement.

A Firefly Aerospace rocket failed to deliver its payload to orbit on Tuesday, creating a cloud of debris in the sky before falling back down toward an ocean crash. Firefly launched its Alpha rocket on April 29 at 9:37 a.m. ET, a day later than its initial launch date due to an issue with ground support equipment. Shortly after liftoff, a mishap during the separation of the rocket’s first stage damaged an engine nozzle, severely reducing the rocket’s thrust, according to a statement by Firefly.
