This week’s dead Google product is Google Trips, may it rest in peace Google kills its Twitch killer—the YouTube Gaming app shuts down this week Here lies Google Inbox, a radical rethink of how email should work View more stories Trips was a well-received app with more than five million downloads on the Play store and a 4.1 rating. Usually when you schedule a trip, a plethora of reservation emails arrive in your inbox for things like the plane flight, hotel, and/or car rental, and Google Trips would automatically suck up all this information and create a basic outline of your trip. This is by our count the 13th Google shutdown this year, which has previously included the Chromecast Audio, YouTube Annotations, Google Fiber’s service in Louisville, Android Things’ IoT support, Google Allo, Spotlight Stories, the goo.gl URL shortener, Gmail’s IFTTT support, Google Inbox, Google+, various bits of Nest, and the YouTube Gaming app and portal.

Jesus Mendez, the SEO Director at MailOnline, which operators DailyMail.co.uk, has admitted publicly that the site took a massive hit by the June 2019 Google core update which began rolling out June 3rd. He said the site “lost 50% of daily traffic” because of this Google update. Heck, I even wrote how smart they were when they hid an easter egg in their robots.txt file to hire a savvy SEO for their publication.But now, the site lost 50% of its traffic, with an additional 90% drop in their Google Discover traffic – which can hurt big time for a publication that size.Jesus Mendez wrote in as Google Webmaster Help thread “The day after the broad core algorithm update (June 3rd) we saw a massive drop in Search traffic from Google (lost 50% of daily traffic).

We have uncovered Blockstream, a major startup in the cryptocurrency industry has created a sophisticated scheme to siphon millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin from company wallets into the personal wallets of its employees and founders. Blockstream has raised $100 million dollars from investors including Khosla Ventures, AXA, Mosaic Ventures, DG Lab Fund and many more. This scheme has led to many employees being paid extremely inflated salaries, despite the company’s very minimal success with products.

Now Camille Thomas, a geomicrobiologist at the University of Geneva, and his colleagues have unearthed molecular fossils in Dead Sea sediments that suggest bacteria lived there as recently as 12,000 years ago. It is the first time scientists have discovered a life-form other than archaea in this ecosystem—which hints that such life might exist (or have existed in the past) in similar places across the globe and elsewhere in the solar system, including Mars. Take Mars—in 2011 NASA’s Opportunity rover stumbled on gypsum, the same mineral that Thomas found in the Dead Sea sediments.

SYDNEY, Australia — One journalist is being investigated for reporting that several boats filled with asylum seekers recently tried to reach Australia from Sri Lanka. Democracies from the United States to the Philippines are increasingly targeting journalists to ferret out leaks, silence critics and punish information sharing — with President Trump leading the verbal charge by calling journalists “the enemy of the people.” No other developed democracy holds as tight to its secrets, experts say, and the raids are just the latest example of how far the country’s conservative government will go to scare officials and reporters into submission.

The Japanese space agency, JAXA, has been circling the asteroid Ryugu with its spacecraft Hayabusa2 for almost a year now and the agency has even successfully shot a cannonball at the space rock. That shot kicked up debris which Hayabusa2 successfully collected in February but the agency wanted to go again — and collect debris from further inside Ryugu. We’ve seen some fantastic images from the surface of Ryugu during Hayabusa2’s mission.

LONDON — His genius embraced the first visions of modern computing and produced seminal insights into what became known as “artificial intelligence.” But, at his death several years later, much of his secretive wartime accomplishments remained classified, far from public view in a nation seized by the security concerns of the Cold War. On June 7, 1954, Alan Turing, a British mathematician who has since been acknowledged as one the most innovative and powerful thinkers of the 20th century — sometimes called the progenitor of modern computing — died as a criminal, having been convicted under Victorian laws as a homosexual and forced to endure chemical castration.

Apple didn’t just announce a $5000 monitor during WWDC: it also announced an optional $1000 monitor stand to go with it. After Apple’s keynote was over, it seemed like Apple’s expensive monitor stand was the only thing people wanted to talk about. But by itemizing the stand as $1k, it feels like nickel-and-diming (ok, granding) the buyer, and it gives the rest of the Internet a reason to hate on Apple.

For two weeks after he disappeared people claimed to have seen him; I trusted two of the claims because Gattino was blind in one eye, and both people told me that when they’d caught him in their headlights, only one eye shone back. But I heard something besides the words, something in the coarse, vibrant tone of the man’s voice that immediately made another emotional picture of the cat: back arched, face afraid but excited, brimming and ready before he jumped and ran, tail defiant, tensile and crooked. When Beatrice learned that I love cats, she told me that down the road from her two old women were feeding a yard full of semi-wild cats, including a litter of kittens who were very sick and going blind.
