Silicon Valley is entering a new phase in its quest for diversity and inclusion in the technology industry. Some advocates call this part “the end of the beginning,” Code2040 CEO Karla Monterroso tells TechCrunch.
At first, advocates were focused on calling out the lack of diversity at tech conferences, pressuring companies to release diversity data and debunking the pipeline problem. Then the focus shifted to hiring heads of diversity and implementing unconscious bias training (more on...
The Supreme Court on Monday handed Democrats a win in Virginia racial gerrymandering case.
Apple CEO Tim Cook had a few words of wisdom for Stanford's 2019 graduating class.
During his commencement speech at Stanford University on Sunday, Cook praised technology's role in "remaking society," but also warned about letting it go unchecked. He urged graduates to be fearless in building things, but to also take responsibility for their effects on society.
Without naming any specific companies, Cook threw shade at Silicon Valley for thinking "good intensions excuse away horrible...

Too Many Tabs Syndrome is definitely a thing.
We hope that having tabs lined up will help us cross them off like a to-do list, but that never happens. Instead, the headache from staring at a computer screen just heightens from squinting to read minuscule tab titles, and being productive turns into being...
Why is it that some people continue to track their data despite achieving little progress in the areas that they’re tracking?
People who identify with the “Quantified Self movement” are, as expressed in the movement’s motto, seeking “self-knowledge through self-tracking.” They want to know how to sleep better, stay fit, or have a more productive morning. They do this by keeping count of how many times they roll over in the night, how many steps they take in the day, or how many...
Just because you aren’t chiseled doesn’t mean you can’t ball in the NFL.
No sporting event this year was as visibly jarring as heavyweight boxer Andy Ruiz getting a TKO against Anthony Joshua. Joshua looked like he was in peak physical condition while Ruiz confidently rocked the dad bod. Their contrasting physiques suggested that Joshua should’ve been the clear favorite, but Ruiz was the superior athlete in the ring.

There’s a Trump Tower in New York, and one in Chicago, and one in Las Vegas. There was nearly one in Moscow. And now, thanks to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, there will likely be a settlement bearing Trump’s name in the disputed Golan Heights.
“Trump Heights” will be built in a region that Israel annexed from Syria more than 50 years ago. Golan Heights has never been internationally recognized as Israeli territory — that is, not until Trump tweeted out his...
