MICHIGAN
STUDENTS PREP
FOR GLOBAL
ROBOTICS
COMPETITION
A University of Michigan initiative has helped

more than 2,800 Detroit high school students
build robotics, train for competitions and
expand their science, technology, engineering
and math education.
Students will be able to put their practice to

the test as Detroit gears up to host the FIRST
Championship, a global robotics competition.
About 90 of the 400 teams from around the
world competing from April 25-29 are from
Michigan, the Detroit News reported.
Student teams will battle robots on a playing

field. It’s the first time the event is being held
in the state.
9
The university’s Michigan Engineering Zone
is offering teams workstations, equipment,
storage and a cadre of mentors, including
professional engineers and graduate students.
Teams visit MEZ to modify or troubleshoot for
upcoming competitions.
Many Detroit high schools don’t have the tools,

resources or staff to support a robotics team.
MEZ gives high school students a hands-on

learning environment to practice real job
skills, such as problem-solving and critical
thinking, said Nikolai Vitti, Detroit’s public
school district superintendent.
“This is a something we will look to expand by

including more schools and students,” Vitti said.
MEZ also offers students assistance on college

applications, as well as financial aid. Some even
end up attending the university, including
23-year-old Jacob Durrah.
Durrah started attending MEZ as a sophomore.

Now, he works at Ford Motor Co.
“That exposure and constant encouragement and

seeing the results of what you can do if you put
your mind to it,” he said. “I can definitely say that is
the reason I am here working for Ford today.”

BIG BROTHER
IS WATCHING
THE NHL GAME,
FASTER THAN EVER
NHL executives, coaches and players are quick

to say the game is faster than ever and there
is technology available to track how quickly
players skate and how hard they shoot.
Vegas Golden Knights general manager George

McPhee calls it the “next wave” in the evolution
of the top hockey league in the world, but what
happens to that information is secret for now.
“I don’t tell people what we do,” McPhee said as

his Pacific Division champion team prepares for
its playoff opener against the Los Angeles Kings.
Younger, faster — and cheaper — players

are pushing out older, slower — and more
expensive — veterans to kick the pace of
the game up a notch. When Radim Vrbata
announced he was retiring after this season,
the 37-year-old Florida Panthers forward
acknowledged the speed of the game played a
part in his decision to leave the league.
“The speed of the game has really jumped over

the last couple of years,” Dallas Stars general
manager Jim Nill said. “You can tell with your
eyes. We don’t have any chips in jerseys or any of
that stuff.”
13
The league is working with a company, or
companies, it will not disclose to use camera-
based technology to track players and pucks.
“We are still in the evaluation stage,” NHL Deputy

Commissioner Bill Daly wrote in an email. “We
have generally shared the results of our testing
as part of an overview of the technology as
opposed to on a team or player basis. Ultimately,
I would envision most (although maybe not all)
of the acquired data would be made available to
the clubs, and the public.”
Iceberg Sports Analytics, which says it is working

with the NHL, uses cameras to track the players
and the puck 10 times per second.
“We get a limitless amount of information from

these coordinates collected by using machine/
deep learning algorithms,” Iceberg global sales
director Scott Vargas said.
For a while at least, the public may be kept in the

dark on some of those details.
At the 2018 Winter Olympics, there were

chips played on player jerseys. Data on speed,
acceleration, stopping, distance traveled, shift
lengths and ice time was available to teams.
How fast a player skated sometimes flashed up
video boards in the arena, much to the chagrin
of former NHL defenseman James Wisniewski.
“I think for people on TV to see how fast you’re

going down the wing, really, does it really
matter?” Wisniewski asked.
Daly acknowledged how quickly the data is used

and shared, along with which forms of technology
will be selected, have not been determined.
“Fans and other observers of the game want

and demand more and more information all
14

16
the time,” Daly said. “It enhances the way they
consume the sport. And it is incumbent on us to
respond to and satisfy that demand.”
The NHL Players’ Association, meanwhile, is

ready for more dialogue on the topic.
“We look forward to continuing our discussions

with the league to ensure the successful
implementation of player and puck tracking,”
NHLPA general counsel Don Zavelo said.
Even in the Detroit Red Wings’ dressing room,

there wasn’t a consensus.
“If you track players and show how fast you’re

skating, I think fans will be able to appreciate
it and it will look cool on TV,” Red Wings center
Dylan Larkin said.
Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg provided

another perspective.
“I’m not a big fan of that because eventually

that will be used as a disadvantage for players,”
Zetterberg said. “Even though they say it
won’t be, it will be in contracts and it will be
used against players in all different areas with
management and coaching issues.”
Daly insisted he doesn’t buy that argument.
“Our experience with enhanced statistics is entirely

the opposite,” Daly said. “Players and agents have
historically and virtually without exception been
able to use enhanced statistics and analytics to
their individual benefit. That’s just a fact.”
It is also true, without debate, that large,

lumbering defensemen have been replaced
by smaller, faster players on the blue line. And
up front, the days of having enforcers play
limited minutes to rough up opponents are
17
over because every team tries to roll four lines
of swift skaters who can match up with the
best opponents.
When teams turn the puck over in the neutral

zone, it is coming back at them in a hurry.
Retreating and regrouping seems more rare.
Kings President Luc Robitaille said beyond
scoring chances for and against, how quickly his
team and opponents get the puck up the ice is
an important statistic.
“Everyone is measuring how fast you’re moving

the puck end to end,” he said, declining to
share details.
“Teams that have success are moving faster.

Look at Vegas,” Robitaille added. “Everyone has
been wondering why they’re winning and it is
because they have a lot of guys with speed.”
Rule changes, philosophical shifts by teams and

improved training are all contributing factors to
create the need for speed.
After the league emerged from a lockout in

2005, players were allowed to make longer
passes up the ice to create more scoring chances
and officials were told to have zero tolerance for
clutching-and-grabbing defensive tactics that
had been used for decades.
“When the red line was taken out of the game

that sped the game up,” Tampa Bay coach Jon
Cooper said. “Now, players come into the league
more recklessly fearless. They’re not afraid to
skate as fast they can. They’re not worried about
what’s waiting for them at the other end. The
game has become all about stretch passes into
two and three zones. That is making the game
look really fast.”

Apple also introduced a new (PRODUCT)RED

iPhone X Leather Folio, which will be available
beginning tomorrow. Crafted from specially
tanned and finished European leather for a
luxurious look and feel, the new folio joins
other (PRODUCT)RED devices and accessories
available for customers to purchase.
23
A portion of proceeds for all (PRODUCT)RED
purchases go directly to Global Fund HIV/
AIDS grants that provide testing, counseling,
treatment and prevention programs with a
specific focus on eliminating transmission of
the virus from mothers to their babies. Since
partnering with (RED) in 2006, Apple has
donated more than $160 million to the Global
Fund, serving as the organization’s largest
corporate donor.
“This special edition (PRODUCT)RED iPhone

features a stunning red and black color
combination and also offers customers the
opportunity to make an impact in fighting the
spread of HIV and AIDS,” said Greg Joswiak,
Apple’s vice president of Product Marketing.

APPLE NOW
GLOBALLY
POWERED BY
100% RENEWABLE
ENERGY
NINE MORE APPLE SUPPLIERS

COMMIT TO 100 PERCENT CLEAN
ENERGY PRODUCTION
As part of its commitment to combat climate
change and create a healthier environment,
Apple today announced its global facilities are
powered with 100 percent clean energy. This
achievement includes retail stores, offices, data
centers and co-located facilities in 43 countries
— including the United States, the United
Kingdom, China and India. The company also
announced nine additional manufacturing
partners have committed to power all of their
Apple production with 100 percent clean
energy, bringing the total number of supplier
commitments to 23.
“We’re committed to leaving the world better

than we found it. After years of hard work
31
we’re proud to have reached this significant
milestone,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’re
going to keep pushing the boundaries of what is
possible with the materials in our products, the
way we recycle them, our facilities and our work
with suppliers to establish new creative and
forward-looking sources of renewable energy
because we know the future depends on it.”
Apple and its partners are building new

renewable energy projects around the world,
improving the energy options for local
communities, states and even entire countries.
Apple creates or develops, with utilities, new
regional renewable energy projects that
would not otherwise exist. These projects
represent a diverse range of energy sources,
including solar arrays and wind farms as well
as emerging technologies like biogas fuel cells,
micro-hydro generation systems and energy
storage technologies.
Apple currently has 25 operational renewable

energy projects around the world, totaling 626
megawatts of generation capacity, with 286
megawatts of solar PV generation coming online
in 2017, its most ever in one year. It also has
15 more projects in construction. Once built,
over 1.4 gigawatts of clean renewable energy
generation will be spread across 11 countries.
Since 2014, all of Apple’s data centers have

been powered by 100 percent renewable
energy. And since 2011, all of Apple’s
renewable energy projects have reduced
greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e) by 54
percent from its facilities worldwide and
prevented nearly 2.1 million metric tons of
CO2e from entering the atmosphere.

33
Apple’s renewable energy projects include:
• Apple Park, Apple’s new headquarters in

Cupertino, is now the largest LEED Platinum-
certified office building in North America.
It is powered by 100 percent renewable
energy from multiple sources, including a
17-megawatt onsite rooftop solar installation
and four megawatts of biogas fuel cells, and
controlled by a microgrid with battery storage.
It also gives clean energy back to the public
grid during periods of low occupancy.
• Over 485 megawatts of wind and solar

projects have been developed across six
provinces of China to address upstream
manufacturing emissions.
• Apple recently announced plans to build

a 400,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art data
center in Waukee, Iowa, that will run entirely on
renewable energy from day one.
• In Prineville, Oregon, the company signed

a 200-megawatt power purchase agreement
for an Oregon wind farm, the Montague Wind
Power Project, set to come online by the
end of 2019.
• In Reno, Nevada, Apple created a

partnership with the local utility, NV Energy,
and over the last four years developed four
new projects totaling 320 megawatts of solar
PV generation.
• In Japan, Apple is partnering with local

solar company Daini Denryoku to install over
300 rooftop solar systems that will generate
18,000 megawatt-hours of clean energy every
year — enough to power more than 3,000
Japanese homes.
34
35
36
• Apple’s data center in Maiden, North Carolina,
is supported by projects that generate 244
million kilowatt-hours of renewable energy per
year, which is equivalent to the energy used by
17,906 North Carolina homes.
• In Singapore, where land is scarce, Apple

adapted and built its renewable energy on
800 rooftops.
• Apple is currently constructing two new data

centers in Denmark that will run on 100 percent
renewable energy from day one.
To get to 100 percent renewable energy for

its own facilities, the company worked to set
an example for others to follow. Apple also
announced today that 23 of its suppliers are
now committed to operating on 100 percent
renewable energy, including nine new suppliers.
Altogether, clean energy from supplier projects
helped avoid over 1.5 million metric tons of
greenhouse gases from being emitted in 2017
— the equivalent of taking more than 300,000
cars off the road. In addition, over 85 suppliers
have registered for Apple’s Clean Energy Portal,
an online platform that Apple developed to
help suppliers identify commercially viable
renewable energy solutions in regions around
the world.
New supplier commitments include:
• Arkema, a designer of high-performance bio-

based polymers, which manufactures for Apple at
its facilities in France, the United States and China.
• DSM Engineering Plastics, which manufactures

polymers and compounds in the Netherlands,
Taiwan and China that are used in many Apple
products, including connectors and cables.
37
Apple’s new
headquarters
in Cupertino is
powered by 100
percent renewable
energy, in part from
a 17-megawatt
onsite rooftop solar
installation.
38
• ECCO Leather, the first soft goods supplier
to commit to 100 percent clean energy for
its Apple production. The leather that ECCO
produces for Apple is of European origin, with
tanning and cutting occurring at facilities in the
Netherlands and China.
• Finisar, a US industry-leading producer of

optical communication components and
vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
(VCSELs), which power some of Apple’s most
popular new features like Face ID, Portrait
mode selfies and Animoji.
• Luxshare-ICT, a supplier of accessories for

Apple products. Luxshare-ICT’s production for
Apple is predominantly located in Eastern China.
• Pegatron, which assembles a number of

products, including iPhone, at its two factories in
Shanghai and Kunshan, China.
• Quadrant, a supplier of magnets and magnetic

components in a number of Apple’s products.
• Quanta Computer, one of the first Mac

suppliers to commit to 100 percent renewable
energy for Apple production.
• Taiyo Ink Mfg. Co., which produces solder

masks for printed circuit boards in Japan.

THE *BEST* PLAYER in Fortnite: Battle Royale!
42
FORTNITE’S INVITE-ONLY BETA PERIOD
IS FINALLY OVER
If you haven’t heard of Fortnite, (where have
you been?!) here’s a quick rundown on the hit
video game. It has been referred to by multiple
sources as a cross between Minecraft and
The Hunger Games. The cartoon style video
game’s most popular version involves 100
players paradropped onto an island to search
for the best weapons and ultimately to fight
to be the last man standing.
The game is currently available on PS4, Xbox,

PC and now finally on iOS too. The iOS version
was originally an invite-only beta, but since
early April the game has been available to all
iOS users, and it is already making hundreds
of millions of dollars. It has become the
most watched game on Twitch and YouTube
Gaming, making up 12.8% of all traffic to
those platforms in February alone, according
to gaming data firm Newzoo.
FORTNITE MADE MORE MONEY THAN

PUBG IN FEBRUARY
Back in February, the PC version of the
increasingly popular video game made more
money and had more viewers than PUBG
(PlayersUnknown’s Battlegrounds), “the
game that inspired it in terms of viewers
and revenue.”. This data comes from a report
produced by research company SuperData
and states that Fortnite is officially bigger
than PUBG.
In the last week of January, PUBG was still

leading with 8.5 million unique viewers on
43
Twitch, while Fortnite had 6.1 million. However,
during February, PUBG made $103 million,
while Fortnite made $126 million, and during
the last week of the month alone, Fortnite had
14 million unique viewers on Twitch alone,
while PUBG had 8.7 million. However, it is
perhaps impossible to directly compare the
two. Fortnite’s Save the World mode starts at
$40, but its ever popular Battle Royale mode
is free initially and gives users the option of
buying add ons. Whereas, PUBG is $30 upfront,
with the option of purchasing extras, but it
does not offer a free version.
FORTNITE IS NOW AVAILABLE

TO ALL iOS USERS
Fortnite was originally only available to iOS
users via an invite-only system, however, it is
now available to anyone with an iPhone
or iPad and can be downloaded for free via
this link. The announcement was made by
the game’s developer Epic Games on their
official Twitter feed. All you need to access
the game is an internet connection, iOS 11
and an iPhone SE, 6S, 7, 8 or X. Alternatively,
the game is available on an iPad Mini 4, Air 2,
2017 and Pro models. An Android version is
still being developed and the official release
date remains unknown. Notably, competitor
PUBG already offers an Android version of
their game.
Users can log into an existing account when

using the iOS version of Fortnite and are able
to share their progress across all platforms. You
can even play against friends on other platforms
from your iOS device.

FORTNITE’S iOS VERSION HITS $15M
REVENUE IN JUST 20 DAYS
After just 20 days, the iOS version of the hit
video game has out-earned Candy Crush, Clash
of Clans and Pokemon Go, with £15 million in
gross revenue following its official launch on
March 15th. Epic Game will receive $10.5 million
of the revenue, with Apple taking the rest.
On the day the app officially left its invite-only

period, it earned $1.8 million, more than three
times its previous daily average of $620,000. The
user base has now reached a massive 11 million
and is in the top 10 grossing in 23 countries.
Sensor Tower commented on the app’s success:
“This growth isn’t unexpected given the sudden

increase in active players, but, as the chart
shows, daily revenue was already increasing
substantially prior to the influx. As the game
remains No. 1 in more than 20 regions for iPhone
downloads, we should expect to see revenue
continue to climb as the player base grows.”
FORTNITE HITS THE MAINSTREAM

The day before the video game was launched
on iOS in beta mode, Drake dropped into
a session with “Ninja”, aka Tyler Blevins, a
professional gaming star. Their session gained
a record breaking 628,000 views on Twitch, and
over 5 million on YouTube (and counting!) and
marked a “great ‘crossover’ moment for the
gaming world into the mainstream.”
Popular gamers are making millions of hits

playing the hit game, and now it is not just
gamers who are taking an interest. Drake isn’t
the only one to be raving about the game. When
the University of Maryland-Baltimore County
49
basketball team achieved the biggest upset in
NCAA history, Nolan Gerrity remarked: “It’s like
your first Fortnite victory, honestly.”
Fortnite is certainly set to rival the likes of

Minecraft. Mat Piscatella, an analyst at NPD
Research claims, “it’s not just the biggest game
of the year, it’s the first game we’ve seen since
50
Minecraft that’s had this kind of appeal.” Gaming
overall is certainly becoming more mainstream,
with estimates suggested 65% of American
households have at least one member who plays
games for at least three hours a week. However,
games like Minecraft, and now Fortnite, are
certainly taking the limelight.

DEVELOPERS FINALLY OFFER A FREE
HIGH QUALITY GAME
According to analysts, what makes Fortnite so
popular are its cartoonish graphics, it’s relatively
simple format and its traction on social media.
Its cartoonish graphics are very high quality but
certainly make the violence easier to handle and
the design is a big part of the game’s success.
The game’s developer chose to include a
number of cultural references, such as allowing
characters to perform the famous dance from
the 2000s TV show Scrubs.
What is more, the game is free, instantly

increasing its appeal to a wider audience, but
notably it is a high quality free game, a rare
find. Instantly, this helps it compete with games
which as PUBG who do not offer a free version,
despite it being the first to popularize the battle
royale genre.
Exactly how long the game’s popularity will last

cannot be estimated. Like many games, before
it, fidget spinners, silly bands, and Tamagotchi, it
has been banned by several schools, with some
claiming that so many students were playing it
at break time that the school’s internet speed
suffered dramatically. What we can assume is
that the game’s success is only set to continue
in the near future with the release of the iOS
version and it is well on its way to being the
most popular game of all time.

CHILD ADVOCATES
ASK FTC TO
INVESTIGATE
YOUTUBE
The fine print of YouTube’s terms of service has

a warning that goes unheeded by millions of
children who visit YouTube to watch cartoons,
nursery rhymes, science experiments or videos
of toys being unboxed.
“If you are under 13 years of age, then please do

not use the service,” the terms say. “There are lots
of other great web sites for you.”
In a complaint filed this week, child advocates

and consumer groups are asking the Federal
Trade Commission to investigate and impose
potentially billions of dollars of penalties on
Google for allegedly violating children’s online
privacy and allowing ads to target them.
“Google profits handsomely from selling

advertising to kid-directed programs that it
packages,” said Jeff Chester, director of the
Center for Digital Democracy, one of the groups
that drafted the complaint. “They created a
successful model monetizing kids’ data.”
57
Television networks also run ads during cartoons
and other programs aimed at kids.
The difference? YouTube does so with a lot of

data collection. Its business model relies on
tracking IP addresses, search history, device
identifiers, location and other personal data
about its users so that it can gauge their
interests and tailor advertising to them. But a
1998 federal law prohibits internet companies
from knowingly collecting personal data from
kids under 13 without their parents’ consent.
The coalition accuses YouTube of violating that

law and deliberately profiting off luring children
into what Chester calls an “ad-filled digital
playground” where commercials for toys, theme
parks or sneakers can surface alongside kid-
oriented videos.
YouTube said in an emailed statement that

it “will read the complaint thoroughly and
evaluate if there are things we can do to
improve. Because YouTube is not for children,
we’ve invested significantly in the creation of
the YouTube Kids app to offer an alternative
specifically designed for children.”
That toddler-oriented YouTube Kids app,

launched in 2015, offers more parental
controls but is not as widely used — and
features a selection of the same videos and
channels that kids can also find on the regular
YouTube service.
Although it’s not known if the FTC will take

action, the complaint comes at a time of
increased public scrutiny over the tech
industry’s mining of personal data and after the
FTC opened an investigation last month into
Facebook’s privacy practices.
58
59
60
For that reason, the FTC “may be more
reinvigorated and ready to take these issues
seriously,” said Josh Golin, director of the
Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood,
which drafted the complaint along with the
Center for Digital Democracy and a Georgetown
University law clinic. Several other groups have
signed on, including Common Sense Media,
which runs a popular website for families, and
the advocacy division of Consumer Reports.
“I think the day of reckoning has arrived,” said

U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts
Democrat who co-authored the 1998 law
and says he wants the FTC to look into the
YouTube complaint. “Americans want to know
the answers as to whether or not the privacy
of their children is being compromised in the
online world.”
FTC spokeswoman Juliana Gruenwald

Henderson said the agency looks forward to
reviewing the letter. She said the FTC already
has brought more than two dozen cases for
violations of the 1998 law. It has settled child
privacy cases with Yelp, mobile advertising
network inMobi and electronic toy-maker VTech.
None of those services are as popular for kids as

YouTube, which has toddler-themed channels
with names like ChuChuTV nursery rhymes,
which as of last week counted more than 16
million subscribers and 13.4 billion views. It also
has many channels that cater to preteens.
Kandi Parsons, a former FTC attorney who now

advises companies on child-privacy compliance,
said that because YouTube is a general-audience
service, it could be hard to determine if parents
are curating content for their kids to watch or
61
62
letting them use it on their own. Parsons said
the FTC so far hasn’t gone after kid-directed
channels within broader media websites,
though that doesn’t mean it won’t.
Consumer advocates say Google knows what

it is doing. They point to its “Google Preferred”
program that allows advertisers on YouTube to
pay extra to get their ads on the most popular
videos. The program includes a “Parenting &
Family Lineup” that has featured channels such
as ChuChu TV, Fox’s BabyTV and Seven Super
Girls, whose topics include “fluffy unicorn slime.”
YouTube does block children who identify

themselves as under 13 from posting video,
by prohibiting them from creating an account
to begin with, but an account isn’t needed
merely to watch.
“It’s laughable if Google execs claim that they

think the parent is in charge of the online viewing
behaviors of tens of millions of children,” Chester
said. “Children are watching this content by
themselves. Google is trying to look the other way.”

ZUCKERBERG
DISCLOSES
FACEBOOK
WORKING WITH
RUSSIA PROBE
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg disclosed his

company is “working with” special counsel
Robert Mueller in the federal probe of Russian
interference in the 2016 presidential campaign
— and working hard to change its own
operations after the harvesting of users’ private
information by a Trump campaign-affiliated
data-mining company.
The founder of the social media giant publicly

apologized for his company’s errors in failing to
better protect the personal information of its
millions of users, a controversy that has brought
a flood of bad publicity and sent the company’s
stock value plunging. He seemed to achieve a
measure of success: Facebook shares surged 4.5
percent for the day, the biggest gain in two years.
65
Zuckerberg told the Senate Judiciary and
Commerce committees that he has not been
personally interviewed by Mueller’s team, but “I
know we’re working with them.” He offered no
details, citing a concern about confidentiality
rules of the investigation.
Earlier this year Mueller charged 13 Russian

individuals and three Russian companies in a
plot to interfere in the 2016 presidential election
through a social media propaganda effort that
included online ad purchases using U.S. aliases
and politicking on U.S. soil. A number of the
Russian ads were on Facebook.
During contentious hearing, Zuckerberg said

it had been “clearly a mistake” to believe the
data-mining company Cambridge Analytica
had deleted user data that it had harvested in
an attempt to sway elections. He said Facebook
had considered the data collection “a closed
case” because it thought the information had
been discarded.
Facebook also didn’t alert the Federal Trade

Commission, Zuckerberg said, and he assured
senators the company would handle the
situation differently today.
He began a two-day congressional inquisition

with a public apology for the way Facebook
handled the data-mining of its users’ data. He took
responsibility for failing to prevent Cambridge
Analytica, which was affiliated with Donald
Trump’s presidential campaign, from gathering
personal information from 87 million users.
Separately, the company began alerting

some of its users that their data was gathered
by Cambridge Analytica. A notification that
appeared on Facebook for some users told them
66
67
68
Image: Carolyn Kaster
that “one of your friends” used Facebook to log

into a now-banned personality quiz app called
“This Is Your Digital Life.” The notice says the
app misused the information, including public
profiles, page likes, birthdays and current cities,
by sharing it with Cambridge Analytica.
Zuckerberg had apologized many times

already, to users and the public, but this was
the first time before Congress. He also is to
testify Wednesday before the House Energy
and Commerce Committee.
Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the Commerce

Committee chairman, told Zuckerberg his
company had a 14-year history of apologizing
for “ill-advised decisions” related to user
privacy. “How is today’s apology different?”
Thune asked.
“We have made a lot of mistakes in running

the company,” Zuckerberg responded. “I think
it’s pretty much impossible, I believe, to start
a company in your dorm room and then grow
it to be at the scale that we’re at now without
making some mistakes.”
Zuckerberg said Facebook is going through

“a broader philosophical shift in how we
approach our responsibility as a company.”
He said the company needs to take a
“more proactive role” that includes ensuring
the tools it creates are used in “good and
healthy” ways.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Zuckerberg’s

appearance marked the most intense hearing
for a tech company since entrepreneur
and businessman Bill Gates testified before
Congress in March 1998.
69

70
Many of the senators’ questions seemed to focus
on Facebook’s basic functions, such as its privacy
settings and what it does and doesn’t do with
user data. Because each of the 44 senators had
just 5 minutes to ask questions, there was little
time for tough follow-ups. On some subjects,
that allowed Zuckerberg to tell the lawmakers
that his people would get back to them with
more information.
In the hearings, Zuckerberg is trying to both

restore public trust in his company and stave
off federal regulations that some lawmakers
have floated. In his opening statement, he also
apologized for his company’s involvement in
facilitating fake news and Russian interference in
the elections.
Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida said he

believes Zuckerberg was taking the congressional
hearings seriously “because he knows there is
going to be a hard look at regulation.”
71
72
Democrats like Nelson have argued that federal
laws might be necessary to ensure user privacy.
Republicans have yet to get behind any such
legislation, but that could change.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., asked Zuckerberg

if he would be willing to work with lawmakers
to examine what “regulations you think are
necessary in your industry.”
Absolutely, Zuckerberg responded, saying later

in an exchange with Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska,
that “I’m not the type of person who thinks
that all regulation is bad.” He called for a “full
conversation about what is the right regulation
not whether it should be or shouldn’t be.”
And Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the

Judiciary panel and the No. 2 Republican in the
Senate, appeared open to regulation in a speech
ahead of the hearing. Cornyn said apologies are
“not enough” and suggested legislation could
eventually be needed to give consumers more
control over their data privacy.
Image: Jim Watson
73
74
“This is a serious matter, and I think people
expect us to take action,” Cornyn told reporters
after his speech.
At the hearing, Zuckerberg said, “We didn’t take

a broad enough view of our responsibility, and
that was a big mistake. It was my mistake, and
I’m sorry. I started Facebook, I run it, and I’m
responsible for what happens here.”
After resisting previous calls to testify, Zuckerberg

agreed to come to Capitol Hill this month after
reports surfaced — and the company confirmed
— that Cambridge Analytica had gathered
Facebook users’ data. Zuckerberg said his
company has a responsibility to make sure that
doesn’t happen again.
He acknowledged that the company was too

slow to respond to Russian election interference
and said it was “working hard to get better.” The
company has said that as many as 146 million
people may have received information from a
Russian agency that’s accused of orchestrating
much of the cyber meddling in the election.
He outlined steps the company has taken to

restrict outsiders’ access to people’s personal
information. He also said the company is
investigating every app that had access to
a large amount of information before the
company moved to prevent such access in 2014
— actions that came too late in the Cambridge
Analytica case.

ZUCKERBERG:
REGULATION
OF SOCIAL
MEDIA FIRMS IS
‘INEVITABLE’
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told a House

oversight panel this week that he believes it is
“inevitable” there will be regulation of the social
media industry and also disclosed to lawmakers
that his own data was included in the personal
information sold to malicious third parties.
“The internet is growing in importance around

the world in people’s lives and I think that it
is inevitable that there will need to be some
regulation,” Zuckerberg said during testimony
before the House Energy and Commerce
Committee. “So my position is not that there
should be no regulation but I also think that
you have to be careful about regulation you
put in place.”
77
Larger, more dominant companies like Facebook
have the resources to comply with government
regulation, he said, but “that might be more
difficult for a smaller startup to comply with.”
Lawmakers in both parties have floated

possible regulation of Facebook and other tech
companies amid privacy scandals and Russian
intervention on the platform. It’s not clear what
that regulation would look like and Zuckerberg
didn’t offer any specifics.
Zuckerberg was answering a question from

Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., when he informed
lawmakers about his personal data, a
reference to the Cambridge Analytica
scandal that has rocked his company over
the past several weeks.
His remarks came as he opened the second

day of a congressional inquisition in the
wake of the worst privacy debacle in his
company’s history. A day earlier Zuckerberg
batted away often-aggressive questioning
from senators who accused him of failing to
protect the personal information of millions of
Americans from Russians intent on upsetting
the U.S. election.
The stakes are high for both Zuckerberg and his

company. Facebook has been reeling from its
worst-ever privacy failure following revelations
last month that the political data-mining firm
Cambridge Analytica, which was affiliated with
Trump’s 2016 campaign, improperly scooped up
data on about 87 million users. Zuckerberg has
been on an apology tour for most of the past
two weeks, culminating in his congressional
appearances this week.
But what comes next is unclear.

Image: Saul Loeb
78
79
Lawmakers said repeatedly they think Facebook
should probably be regulated. But there was no
consensus at all on that point — what exactly
should be regulated, or even what the biggest
problems are.
Members pressed Zuckerberg on the company’s

privacy policies and often declared that Facebook
needs to do more to protect user data. Several
lawmakers touted bills they’ve introduced. But
there was no clear thread among them as to how,
or if, the government should step in.
Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey, the

committee’s top ranking Democrat, sounded
pessimistic that Congress will pass anything.
“I’ve just seen it over and over again — that

we have the hearings, and nothing happens,”
Pallone said.
Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., the committee

chairman, asked Zuckerberg if it ever crossed
his mind several years ago when user data was
being extracted from Facebook “that you should
be communicating more clearly with users that
Facebook is monetizing their data.” Information
about users “is probably the most valuable thing
about Facebook,” Walden added.
Zuckerberg said that Facebook allows people

to decide whether and how they want their
information shared. But he said his company
“can do a better job of explaining how
advertising works.”
After a testy exchange with Zuckerberg, Rep.

Diana DeGette, D-Colo., said Congress should
consider imposing “really robust penalties”
for social media companies that repeatedly
compromise user information.

“We continue to have these abuses and
these data breaches,” DeGette said. “But at
the same time it doesn’t seem like future
activities are prevented.”
Facebook’s stock rose slightly in Wednesday’s

early afternoon trading, providing an indication
that investors are betting the company’s ability
to sell ads based on the personal information
that it collects won’t be hampered by whatever
action Congress might take. But Facebook’s
stock remains 10 percent below where it stood
before news of the privacy scandal broke last
month, a decline that has wiped out about $50
billion in shareholder wealth.
During roughly five hours of questioning

by members of the Senate Judiciary and
Commerce committees on Tuesday, Zuckerberg
apologized several times for Facebook
failures. He also disclosed that his company
was “working with” special counsel Robert
Mueller in the federal probe of Russian election
interference and said it was working hard to
change its own operations in the wake of the
Cambridge Analytica revelations.
Seemingly unimpressed, Republican Sen.

John Thune of South Dakota said Zuckerberg’s
company had a 14-year history of apologizing
for “ill-advised decisions” related to user privacy.
“How is today’s apology different?” Thune asked.
As for the federal Russia probe that has

occupied much of Washington’s attention for
months, he said he had not been interviewed
by special counsel Mueller’s team, but “I know
we’re working with them.” He offered no details,
citing a concern about confidentiality rules of
the investigation.
85
Earlier this year Mueller charged 13 Russian
individuals and three Russian companies in a
plot to interfere in the 2016 presidential election
through a social media propaganda effort that
included online ad purchases using U.S. aliases
and politicking on U.S. soil. A number of the
Russian ads were on Facebook.
Zuckerberg said Facebook had been led to

believe Cambridge Analytica had deleted
the user data it had harvested and that had
been “clearly a mistake.” He said Facebook
had considered the data collection “a closed
case” and had not alerted the Federal Trade
Commission. He assured senators the
company would have handled the situation
differently today.

APPLE
CO-FOUNDER
CLOSING
FACEBOOK
ACCOUNT IN
PRIVACY CRISIS
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is shutting

down his Facebook account as the social media
giant struggles to cope with the worst privacy
crisis in its history.
In an email to USA Today, Wozniak said Facebook

makes a lot of advertising money from personal
details provided by users. He said the “profits
are all based on the user’s info, but the users get
none of the profits back.”
Wozniak said he’d rather pay for Facebook.
“Apple makes money off of good products, not

off of you,” he said.
89
90
In an interview late Monday in Philadelphia with
media, Wozniak said he had been thinking for
a while of deleting his account and made the
move after several of his trusted friends deleted
their Facebook accounts last week.
It’s “a big hypocrisy not respecting my privacy

when (Facebook CEO Mark) Zuckerberg buys all
the houses around his and all the lots around
his in Hawaii for his own privacy,” Wozniak said.
“He knows the value of it, but he’s not looking
after mine.”
A British data mining firm affiliated with Donald

Trump’s Republican presidential campaign
gathered personal information from 87 million
Facebook users to try to influence elections.
Facebook, based in Menlo Park, California, has
announced technical changes intended to
address privacy issues.
Zuckerberg has apologized, and Facebook’s No.

2 executive, Sheryl Sandberg, has said she’s sorry
the company let so many people down.
Zuckerberg will testify on Capitol Hill on Tuesday

and Wednesday about the company’s ongoing
data privacy scandal and how it failed to guard
against other abuses of its service.
Wozniak said he doesn’t believe in the current

system that Facebook can fix its privacy issues,
saying he doesn’t think Facebook is going to
change its policies “for decades.”
Wozniak said Apple Inc., based in Cupertino,

California, has systems and policies that in many
cases allow people to choose whether to share
certain data. He said he doesn’t foresee Apple
not allowing the Facebook app to be bought or
downloaded on its phones but said he does not
make those decisions for the company.

BOSS BUZZING
YOU AFTER HOURS?
NYC MIGHT LET
YOU SAY BUZZ OFF
Technology that once promised freedom from

the confines of an office has, for many workers,
become a ball and chain, blurring the lines
between work hours and, well, any other hours.
A New York City Council member wants to put a
stop to that.
The proposal would bar employers from

requiring employees to respond to non-
emergency emails, texts and other digital
communications outside regular work hours. It
would also outlaw retaliating against workers
who choose to unplug.
93
The recently introduced legislation is only in
the beginning stages, with initial committee
hearings expected sometime in June, and
doubters wonder how it could work, especially
in always-buzzing New York City.
But bill sponsor Rafael Espinal, a Democrat

who represents parts of Brooklyn, said the
legislation is needed because the city that
never sleeps isn’t supposed to be the city that
never stops working.
“Work has spilled into our personal lives,” he said.

“We’re always connected to our phones or to a
computer once we leave the office.”
It’s important, he said, for people to be “able

to draw a clear line between the workplace
and their personal lives, to give them time to
connect with their family, friends, reduce their
stress levels and be able to go back to work and
perform at their optimal level.”
The legislation would cover private companies

with more than 10 employees. There would be
exemptions for certain types of jobs that require
people to be on call. Barring emergencies,
bosses wouldn’t be able to demand that workers
check work emails or messages in off hours.
Companies that violated the rule would face

fines of at least $250 per incident.
Espinal said he was inspired by a French law that

took effect this year that gave employees the
right to ignore off-hour communications.
Employers who wanted to return a

communication could do so.
“If you love your job and you love what

you’re doing, I highly doubt that you will stop
working,” Espinal said.
94
95
96
The bill would be intended to make life better
for people like Arlene Pitterson, a marketing
and event planning consultant in Brooklyn,
who recalled one boss routinely pestering
her with late-night emails, then getting upset
when she didn’t reply.
It was among the conditions that led her to

working for herself, in which she now sets
her own boundaries about when she’ll
respond to people.
“The fact that we have to get to a point where

we have a law about it is unfortunate, but it’s
necessary,” said Pitterson, 40.
“Technology has allowed us to work from

anywhere at any time,” she said. “It’s now
about being able to control the instruments
so that we can still have a life.”
The reality, though, is that the world has

become a 24/7 place, and adhering to a
policy like the one Espinal is proposing
would be detrimental to a company’s
competitiveness, said labor lawyer Louis
DiLorenzo of Bond, Schoeneck & King, who
has spent years representing management
and employers.
“The problems are going to be tremendous,”

DiLorenzo said. “I just don’t think you can
legislate against progress.”
He also questioned how it would be enforced,

and how an emergency would be defined.
“I can’t think of a business that we represent

that there aren’t times where a lot of people
wouldn’t think of them as emergencies, but
the client does,” he said.

97
98
David Weinman, president of Fabco Shoes, a
chain of more than 40 stores in New York City
and New Jersey that employs 190 people, sees
the proposal it as government overreach.
“I think the city needs to get out of everyone’s

hair,” said Weinman, 61. “Regulations are
great when they don’t make everything you
do more complicated.”
He said he sends emails to employees on their

off days or outside of work hours, but usually to
make sure he doesn’t forget to send it at a later
time, and he’s not looking for responses when
they’re not working.
“I don’t know anyone who retaliates against

employees because they don’t answer emails,”
he said.

PSYCH! COLLEGES
TEACH PHISHING
LESSON BY
TARGETING
THEIR OWN
Thousands of university students and

employees targeted by email phishing schemes
this year have taken the bait. Fortunately, they
were duped not by real scammers, but by their
own schools — in simulations meant to make
them more adept at spotting real threats.
When Ohio State University did its first student-

focused phishing in January — a strategy also
used in the corporate world — over 18 percent
of the recipients clicked through. The University
of Alabama at Birmingham’s employee-focused
phishing awareness campaign snagged over
7,000 people in March, or about a quarter of
the recipients.
Image: Kantele Franko

101
Ohio State sophomore Ezequiel Herrera,
who prides himself on quickly responding to
messages, was caught off guard twice by the
fake phishing emails. The first time, he said,
he felt proud his school was taking that kind
of educational action. The second time left
him frustrated.
“I was sort of like, ‘Wow, I’m really, really bad,’”

Herrera, 19, said with a smile. Since then, he said,
he has become more cautious while scrolling
through emails from unfamiliar senders.
The faux phishing messages mimic emails

about financial aid, holidays, resetting
passwords or other topics but contain signs
of potential fraud, such as generic greetings,
requests for urgent action or information,
spelling errors, and senders from unfamiliar
domain names. Recipients who click links in
the emails are redirected to tips about good
cybersecurity habits and how to spot and
report real attempts at stealing passwords or
other sensitive information.
“A phishing simulation helps people

understand the role that they play in managing
security — that it’s not up to their IT support
or the help desk or whoever that they can
sort of blindly walk along,” said Helen Patton,
Ohio State’s chief information security officer.
“A lot of what makes an organization secure is
what happens between an individual and their
keyboard or their phone.”
Patton talks about it like a digital

vaccination, helping protect individuals and
the broader campus community against
cyberattacks that could cost far more than
the phishing simulations.
102
103
Just last month, U.S. prosecutors accused a
group of Iranians of hacking the computer
systems of about 320 universities in the U.S.
and abroad to steal billions of dollars’ worth
of science and engineering research that was
then used by the government or sold for profit.
Prosecutors said spear-phishing emails were
used to target over 100,000 professors, but
they didn’t publicly identify those individuals or
their schools.
Ohio State has used phishing simulations for

employees since 2016. Officials won’t disclose
exact results for security reasons but say
responses have improved since the early rounds
when, for example, a message about a second-
floor printer was clicked by people in facilities
that didn’t even have a second floor.
In a hurried, tech-reliant culture in which so

many people exchange so much information
at their fingertips on smartphones and other
devices, Patton said, the battle is getting people
to slow down.
104
105
The practical, experiential training of fake
phishing has proved more effective compared
than slideshows, webinars or other common
types of training that can get stale, said
Joanna Grama, who directs the cybersecurity
program at the higher education technology
association EDUCAUSE.
The risk, of course, is that folks will feel tricked, so

it’s important that the training be educational,
not punitive, Grama said.
At Alabama-Birmingham, one faculty member

decried the phishing simulation as a waste of
time, but most responses were positive, said
Curt Carver, the university’s vice president for
information technology, who recalls first hearing
about the concept of self-phishing over a
decade ago.
Some people report the messages as suspicious,

and others send replies like “Ha, you got me!”
or “Didn’t get me this time!” A few, he said,
expressed interest in making it more of a game,
wanting to gauge how well they detect phishing
attacks compared with others.
“They’ve realized ... they can be a hero, they

can be a person that helps protect everybody
else,” Carver said.

the country to promote it, this is a high
anticipated album and certainly tackles a
number of political issues, although it is
not immediately clear what the band are
asking listeners to protest. When asked
about the messages in the single “Walk on
Water”, Leto replied that it “is a political song
Genre: Alternative
about standing up and fighting for what you
Released: Apr 6, 2018 believe in…it’s about change and about the
12 Songs possibilities that we have at our fingertips.”

BOX OFFICE TOP 20:
‘A QUIET PLACE’
MAKES NOISE
WITH $50.2M
John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place” blasted past

expectations to notch the second-best debut
of the year, opening with $50.2 million in ticket
sales, according to final studio figures Monday.
The Paramount Pictures thriller, the third film

directed by the former “The Office” star, had
been pegged to open closer to $30 million. The
unexpected success of the $17 million movie
gave Viacom Inc.’s Paramount a much-needed
hit and the studio’s best non-sequel opening
weekend in nearly five years.
The Universal Pictures R-rated comedy “Blockers,”

with Leslie Mann and John Cena, also performed
solidly, collecting $20.6 million in its debut.
Last week’s top film, Steven Spielberg’s “Ready

Player One,” slid to second but held well. The
Warner Bros. release grossed $24.6 million in
its second weekend. But it’s fared even better
overseas, where Spielberg’s latest has already
grossed $294.4 million, including $161.3 million
in China.

NETFLIX PULLS
OUT OF CANNES
FILM FESTIVAL
IN GROWING
DISPUTE
Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos says

the streaming service is pulling its films from the
Cannes Film Festival.
Cannes earlier banned from its prestigious

Palme d’Or competition any films without
theatrical distribution in France. That essentially
rules out Netflix movies. In France, it’s a law that
films can’t be released on home entertainment
platforms until 36 months after their
theatrical release.
Netflix films could still play out of competition

at Cannes. But in an interview with Variety
published Wednesday, Sarandos said he wants
Netflix releases “to be on fair ground with every
other filmmaker.” Sarandos said he doesn’t want
Netflix filmmakers “treated disrespectfully”
at Cannes.
Last year, two Netflix films premiered in

competition at Cannes, prompting outrage from
French theater owners and unions.

‘DESPACITO,’
OTHER VIDEOS
ALTERED BY
SECURITY BREACH
AT VEVO
“Despacito” and other popular music videos

were the target of a security breach on the video
sharing service Vevo.
The cover image of the Luis Fonsi/Daddy Yankee

hit was replaced by an image of masked people
pointing guns. Clips by Taylor Swift, Drake,
Selena Gomez and Shakira also were affected.
A YouTube spokesperson says the company

worked with its partner to disable access after
seeing “unusual upload activity” on some
Vevo channels.
Vevo says the breach was contained and it is

working to reinstate all videos that were affected
and restoring its service.
Vevo says it is investigating the source of

the breach.

NEW WAY
OF DEFINING
ALZHEIMER’S AIMS
TO FIND DISEASE
SOONER
Government and other scientists are proposing

a new way to define Alzheimer’s disease —
basing it on biological signs, such as brain
changes, rather than memory loss and other
symptoms of dementia that are used today.
The move is aimed at improving research, by

using more objective criteria like brain scans to
pick patients for studies and enroll them sooner
in the course of their illness, when treatments
may have more chance to help.
But it’s too soon to use these scans and other

tests in routine care, because they haven’t been
validated for that yet, experts stress. For now,
doctors will still rely on the tools they’ve long
used to evaluate thinking skills to diagnose
most cases.
Regardless of what tests are used to make the

diagnosis, the new definition will have a startling
effect: Many more people will be considered to
have Alzheimer’s, because the biological signs
can show up 15 to 20 years before symptoms do.
143
“The numbers will increase dramatically,” said Dr.
Clifford R. Jack Jr., a Mayo Clinic brain imaging
specialist. “There are a lot more cognitively
normal people who have the pathology in
the brain who will now be counted as having
Alzheimer’s disease.”
He led a panel of experts, working with the

Alzheimer’s Association and the National
Institute on Aging, that updated guidelines
on the disease, published Tuesday in
Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the
Alzheimer’s Association.
ABOUT ALZHEIMER’S
About 50 million people worldwide have
dementia, and Alzheimer’s is the most
common form. In the U.S., about 5.7 million
have Alzheimer’s under its current definition,
which is based on memory problems and other
symptoms. About one-third of people over 70
who show no thinking problems actually have
brain signs that suggest Alzheimer’s, Jack said.
There is no cure — current medicines such as

Aricept and Namenda just temporarily ease
symptoms. Dozens of hoped-for treatments
have failed, and doctors think one reason may
be that the studies enrolled patients after too
much brain damage had already occurred.
“By the time that you have the diagnosis of the

disease, it’s very late,” said Dr. Eliezer Masliah,
neuroscience chief at the Institute on Aging.
“What we’ve realized is that you have to go

earlier and earlier and earlier,” just as doctors
found with treating cancer, he said.
Another problem: as many as 30 percent of

people enrolled in Alzheimer’s studies based
144
145
on symptoms didn’t actually have the disease
— they had other forms of dementia or even
other medical conditions. That doesn’t give
an accurate picture of whether a potential
treatment might help, and the new definition
aims to improve patient selection by using brain
scans and other tests.
BETTER TESTS
Many other diseases, such as diabetes, already
are defined by measuring a biomarker, an
objective indicator such as blood sugar. That
wasn’t possible for Alzheimer’s disease until a
few years ago, when brain scans and spinal fluid
tests were developed to do this.
They measure certain forms of two proteins

— amyloid and tau — that form plaques and
tangles in the brain — and signs of nerve injury,
degeneration and brain shrinkage.
The guidelines spell out use of these biomarkers

over a spectrum of mental decline, starting with
early brain changes, through mild impairment
and Alzheimer’s dementia.
WHAT TO DO?
People may be worried and want these tests
for themselves or a family member now, but
Jack advises: “Don’t bother. There’s no proven
treatment yet.”
You might find a doctor willing to order them,

but spinal fluid tests are somewhat invasive,
and brain scans can cost up to $6,000. Insurance
usually does not pay because they’re considered
experimental outside of research. A large study
is underway now to see whether Medicare
should cover them and when.
146
147
148
Anyone with symptoms or family history of
dementia, or even healthy people concerned
about the risk can consider enrolling in one of
the many studies underway.
“We need more people in this pre-symptomatic

stage” to see if treatments can help stave off
decline, Masliah said.

THE CENTER OF
THE MILKY WAY IS
TEEMING WITH
BLACK HOLES
The center of our galaxy is teeming with black

holes, sort of like a Times Square for strange
super gravity objects, astronomers discovered.
For decades, scientists theorized that circling

in the center of galaxies, including ours, were
lots of stellar black holes , collapsed giant stars
where the gravity is so strong even light doesn’t
get out. But they hadn’t seen evidence of them
in the Milky Way core until now.
Astronomers poring over old x-ray observations

have found signs of a dozen black holes in the
inner circle of the Milky Way. And since most
black holes can’t even be spotted that way,
they calculate that there are likely thousands
of them there. They estimate it could be about
10,000, maybe more, according to a study in
Wednesday’s journal Nature.
“There’s lots of action going on there,” said study

lead author Chuck Hailey, a Columbia University
astrophysicist. “The galactic center is a strange
place. That’s why people like to study it.”
151
152
The stellar black holes are in addition to —
and essentially circling — the already known
supermassive black hole, called Sagittarius A,
that’s parked at the center of the Milky Way.
In the rest of the massive Milky Way, scientists

have only spotted about five dozen black holes
so far, Hailey said.
The newly discovered black holes are within

about 19.2 trillion miles (30.9 trillion kilometers)
of the supermassive black hole at the center. So
there’s still a lot of empty space and gas amid all
those black holes. But if you took the equivalent
space around Earth there would be zero black
holes, not thousands, Hailey said.
Earth is in spiral arm around 3,000 light years

away from the center of the galaxy. (A light year
is 5.9 trillion miles, or 9.5 trillion kilometers.)
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, who wasn’t part

of the study, praised the finding as exciting but
confirming what scientists had long expected.
The newly confirmed black holes are about 10

times the mass of our sun, as opposed to the
central supermassive black hole, which has the
mass of 4 million suns. Also the ones spotted are
only the type that are binary, where a black hole
has partnered with another star and together
they emit large amount of x-rays as the star’s
outer layer is sucked into the black hole. Those
x-rays are what astronomers observe.
When astronomers look at closer binary black

hole systems they could then see the ratio
between what’s visible and what’s too faint to be
observed from far away. Using that ratio, Hailey
figures that even though they only spotted a
dozen there must be 300 to 500 binary black
hole systems.
153
But binary black hole systems are likely only 5
percent of all black holes, so that means there
are really thousands of them, Hailey said.
There are good reasons the Milky Way’s black

holes tend to be in the center of the galaxy,
Hailey said.
First, their mass tends to pull them to the center.

But mostly the center of the galaxy is the perfect
“hot house” for black hole formation, with lots of
dust and gas.
Hailey said it is “sort of like a little farm where

you have all the right conditions to produce and
hold on to a large number of black holes.”

EUROPE PLANS
REMOTE UPDATE
TO KEEP AGING
MARS PROBE STABLE
The European Space Agency plans to remotely

update the software on its Mars Express probe
to ensure the aging spacecraft remains stable.
The probe arrived at Mars in late 2003 for a

two-year mission , but almost 15 years later
it’s still operating.
ESA said Wednesday four of Mars Express’ six

gyroscopes — used to measure the probe’s
rotation — are failing, which would end the
mission in 2019.
So engineers decided to rewrite the spacecraft’s

computer code so it can orient itself using
pictures of surrounding stars most of the time.
The code was uploaded last Sunday. A reboot is
planned Monday.
While similar patches have been developed

for other spacecraft, mission manager Patrick
Martin said “this is certainly the most complex
and extensive software rewrite we’ve done in
recent memory.”

PENNSYLVANIA,
PENN STATE PLAN
TRANSPORTATION
RESEARCH CENTER
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation

and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission say
they’ll work with Penn State University to build
a state-of-the-art highway and transportation
technology center.
The agencies said this week that it is expected

to help emergency responders, transportation
planners and researchers improve traffic
safety, intelligent transportation systems and
automated vehicles.
A turnpike commission spokesman says a

feasibility study will determine the cost of the
project and the length of time it would take to
get such a facility up and running.
Work is already one on a draft rendering and

video simulation of the Pennsylvania Safety,
Transportation and Research Track,
or PennSTART.

SAMSUNG
ELECTRONICS
ESTIMATES
56 PERCENT JUMP
IN PROFIT
Samsung Electronics estimated its first-quarter

operating profit jumped 56 percent to a record
high, likely because demand for memory chips
continued to be robust, outweighing lower
display sales to Apple.
The South Korean tech giant said in its

preliminary earnings report that its January-
March operating income was an estimated
15.6 trillion won ($14.7 billion), compared with
9.9 trillion won a year earlier. The estimate was
higher than expected.
Sales rose 19 percent to an estimated 60 trillion

won. The company did not disclose its estimated
net income. It will announce breakdown figures
among businesses and more details at the end
of this month.
171

172
Analysts said Samsung likely recorded lower
profit in its display business that supplies OLED
screens for Apple’s iPhones but strong demand for
memory chips outweighed weaker display sales.
Samsung unseated Intel as the world’s largest

semiconductor maker last year on the back of
solid demand for chips that hold data and help
run programs faster for servers and phones.
Analysts increased their forecasts of Samsung’s
memory chip profit this year as demand for data
centers and servers increased the prices of the
memory chips called DRAM.
Samsung’s mobile business is also expected to

report a bigger-than-expected income for the
first quarter. Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S9
smartphones in February, starting its sales sooner
than the previous year’s flagship phone. While
consumers become more reluctant to spend big
on the newest smartphone, sales of older and
cheaper Galaxy phones remained solid.

CHINA STATE
MEDIA SAY
4 POPULAR NEWS
APPS SUSPENDED
Four popular Chinese news apps have been

temporarily removed from the Android store
in China following an order from regulators to
tighten control over the spread of information,
state media reported this week.
Toutiao, Phoenix News, NetEase News and

Tiantian Kuaibao suspended their downloading
services before 3 p.m. on Monday, the Beijing
Daily newspaper said on its microblog.
It said Toutiao will be suspended for three

weeks and will resume service on April 30, while
Phoenix will be taken down for two weeks,
NetEase for one week and Tiantian for three
days. Users can still download the apps from
Apple’s App Store.

Android phones are far more common in
China and the government has great sway
over domestic communications and
Internet platforms.
Further details on the regulatory measure

were not immediately available and calls to
the government’s oversight body, the
Cyberspace Administration of China, rang
unanswered on Monday.
China maintains tight control over news sources

and heavily censors the internet for content
related to gambling, pornography, dissident
politics, criticism of the government and other
perceived social ills.
On April 4, executives of Toutiao and live

streaming app Kuaishou were told by the
State Administration of Radio and Television to
remove “violent, erotic content” on the websites,
cease adding new upload accounts and
investigate the current ones.
According to SART, Toutiao and Kuaishou have

long been ignoring the law by expanding their
video program services without proper licenses,
and were streaming “programs that violated
social morality.”
Toutiao announced on April 6 that it had deleted

more than 10,000 short videos and 4,800
problematic accounts and added 1,700 sensitive
words for video censoring.
On April 6, Kuaishou also published hiring

information on several websites to recruit 3,000
people for content review and editing. Priority
was to be given to applicants with reliable
political backgrounds, especially members of
the ruling Communist Party or its youth league.
