Index Ventures launches $2B fund to back tech startups worldwide

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Index Ventures, arguably one of the most prominent venture capital funds around, has announced the closure of a $2 billion investment fund.
Jan Hammer, Partner at Index Ventures, said: “Innovation is often born out of adversity.
The path to building a great company is not a straight line, with many obstacles and forks along the way.
Back in February, Atomico, the VC firm set up by Skype‘s co-founder Niklas Zennstrom closed an additional $820 million fund to back “mission-driven” European tech startups.
Earlier this week, Blossom Capital said it was launching a $5 million angel program targeting European technology startups.

People are skipping Zoom meetings by looping videos of themselves paying attention

As the world’s workforce continues to move online — working from home during the coronavirus pandemic — employees are finding creative ways to appear more online than they really are. Take Zoom. According to its website, there’s a feature that, when turned on, can tell hosts if chat participants have navigated away from the active Zoom window for more than 30 seconds. Simply put, your computer narcs you out to your boss when you’re paying more attention to Reddit than you are a morning meeting.

This AI spits out an infinite feed of fake furry portraits

We’ve seen it all: It started with delicious AI-generated food that didn’t exist, then it was people, then it was cats, Airbnbs, memes, feet (???) — and now we’ve got furries. Yep, you heard it right. A resourceful developer has built a generative adversarial network that spits out an infinite feed of portraits of non-existent furry personas (or fursonas). To acquire this skill, Thisfursonadoesnotexist.com was fed about 55,000 furry images gleaned from mature image board e621.com and trained to come up with its own unique iterations for 33 days. Don’t worry though: Thirsfursonadoesnotexist.com is totally SFW. The final images were then… This story continues at The Next Web

Blind users struggle with state coronavirus websites

Every state in the U.S. has launched at least one website with updates about the novel coronavirus outbreak. Unfortunately, the majority are difficult or unusable for visually impaired users, according to a survey conducted for The Markup by the web accessibility group WebAIM. Forty-one of the 50 state pages we surveyed contained low-contrast text, which can be challenging for users with low vision, including seniors, who are at higher risk in the outbreak. For instance, South Dakota’s coronavirus website features light-orange text on a white background—a combination that would make even some sighted users squint but renders the page unreadable… This story continues at The Next Web

IBM’s new open-source tool helps developers make their apps more accessible

When designing an application, developers might not put accessibility on top of their list. Plus, the developer might not have a handy list of what guidelines they should follow when thinking about accessible features. To address this issue, IBM has released a free toolkit and an accessibility checker that will help developers fine-tune their applications for people with disabilities. IBM’s new tools are divided into two parts: a set of public guidelines called IBM Equal Access Toolkit and a Checker that identifies shortcomings in your application from an accessibility standpoint. The guidelines provide byte-sized information to app developers with details on… This story continues at The Next WebOr just read more coverage about: IBM

Stanford uses AI scans of satellite images to track poverty levels over time

A new AI tool can track poverty levels in African villages over time by scanning satellite images for signs of economic well-being. The tool searches the images for indicators of development, such as roads, agriculture, housing, and lights turned on at night. Deep learning algorithms find patterns in this data to measure the villages’ wealth. Researchers from Stanford University tested the tool on about 20,000 villages across 23 countries in Africa that had existing wealth data. They say that it successfully estimated the poverty levels of the villages over time.

The New Yorker’s crossword now has a co-op mode and it’s bloody addictive

Comparing Huawei’s FreeBuds 3i to AirPods is fair, but misguided

These days if you release a phone, you damn well best release a pair of true wireless earbuds too. And Huawei‘s no different. So, say hello to the FreeBuds 3i!

Office work will never feel the same after the coronavirus pandemic

“I can’t go back there. It’s like a cage!” These were Ana’s first words to me, spoken as though having just been released from prison or escaped a hard labor camp.

After a litany of security fuck-ups, Zoom promises weekly updates

While the world is sitting at home, video calling and conferencing apps are having the time of their lives. Zoom is probably one of the most used apps, the most controversial one as well. In the past few weeks, it has reached the peak of its popularity with more than 200 million daily users. However, multiple privacy mishaps have created doubt in users’ minds about the service’s safety.
