| Guardian US's 11-minute climate strike: why we devoted our front page to climate change Posted: 15 Mar 2019 10:22 AM PDT  As thousands of US students join a global strike to demand action on climate change, Guardian US is offering extensive live coverage of the strikes – and devoted our entire front page to climate change for 11 minutes earlier todayMake a contribution to support the Guardian's independent journalism and our unique commitment to climate reporting The school climate strikes kicked off this morning in Australia and are traveling around the world for 24-hours. Photograph: Isabel Infantes/AFP/Getty Images Today, American students from all 50 states are taking part in what could be one of the largest environment protests in history: a global school strike to demand that adults take action on climate change. In addition to a major rally at the US Capitol and more than 70 events around the country, the actions included an 11-minute school walkout at 11am ET to draw attention to a recent UN report warning that we have just 11 years to avoid a climate change catastrophe. To support the students, and highlight the global emergency, the Guardian devoted our entire US front page – containing more than 40 stories – to climate change coverage from 11am to 11.11am ET. You can view our complete climate front page here. The Guardian is also providing 24 hours of live coverage of the global student strikes as they travel across countries and time zones. The coverage began last night with our colleagues in Australia and has included reports from correspondents in Thailand, the UK, Belgium, Sweden, France, Spain, the US and many more. Throughout the day, the Guardian will highlight the voices of young people from the US and around the world who have never known a world where the climate isn't rapidly heating. And in the coming year, and particularly in our 2020 election coverage, the Guardian will strive to feature the voices of young people in our climate reporting to ensure that those whose lives will be most affected by climate policy over the next century are part of the conversation. We hope you will consider making a contribution to support the Guardian's independent journalism and our unique commitment to climate reporting. View this post on Instagram In solidarity with the students joining today's global climate strike, Guardian US is devoting its homepage to climate change for the duration of the walkout, between 11:00 and 11:11am. The 11 minutes represents the number of years the UN has predicted the planet has before a global climate catastrophe. A post shared by The Guardian US (@guardian_us) on Mar 15, 2019 at 8:03am PDT

"There are people coming out and others not coming out," said the bearded man wearing a robe and head scarf, one of hundreds of people who left the enclave at Baghouz on Thursday to surrender to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). On Friday suicide attackers struck a group of people leaving Baghouz and surrendering, the SDF said, the first such blasts to target any of the thousands of people abandoning the enclave.

| Apple’s iCloud is the latest service to suffer an outage this week Posted: 14 Mar 2019 12:14 PM PDT  Following the Verizon outage on Tuesday morning, the Gmail and YouTube issue on Tuesday night, and the "server configuration change" that took down Facebook and Instagram for hours on Wednesday, Apple has decided to join in on the fun with an outage of its own. According to the System Status dashboard on Apple's site, virtually every iCloud service is currently experiencing issues, including Contacts, Drive and Mail.By my count, there are twenty problematic services at the time of writing, with all of the issues having begun at 11:00 a.m. this morning. Apple hasn't provided any additional details beyond which services are struggling, mostly using a single phrase to explain every issue: "Users may be unable to access this service."There has been no evidence released to this point that would indicate that multitude of online service outages this week are related, but the way that each has seemingly cropped up right on the heels of the last is suspicious, to say the least. That said, Facebook made it clear that it wasn't the target of a DDoS attack or anything of that nature, but rather that a seemingly innocuous server problem internally caused the massive outage.Apple has yet to comment on the matter, but unless it turns out to be something serious, it's unlikely we'll hear much of anything at all. In the meantime, if you notice anything iCloud-related acting up, at least you know why. Plus, you can keep track of Apple's progress on the System Status dashboard.

| The Feast of St Patrick's Day: celebrate with these traditional Irish recipes Posted: 14 Mar 2019 03:49 AM PDT  This weekend cities all over the country will erupt in shades of green to celebrate St Patrick's Day, and with the Six Nations game on the Saturday, what better excuse to get down to your local and say cheers to a pint of Guinness (or three)? And although drinking the black stuff undoubtedly play its part in the day's celebrations (as many as 13 million pints of Guinness are expected to be poured on St Patrick's Day), food is also an important feature as families feast on traditional Irish fare like soda bread, Irish stews and colcannon. No corned beef and cabbage, though – this 'tradition' was invented by the Irish immigrants living in America, as is the rather unappetising sounding 'green beer' served across the pond. So in the spirit of St Patrick, we've gathered together a few of our favourite recipes from the best chefs and cookery writers from the Emerald Isle to form a fantastic authentic feast of Irish flavours. Start with freshly poached sea mullet with Darina Allen's homemade soda bread for mopping up the juices, before tucking into beef and Guinness pies with chocolate or a perfectly roasted saddle of lamb – heaps of colcannon mash are obligatory. Round off the meal with a gloriously indulgent salted caramel whisky bread and butter pudding, and perhaps a tot of Irish whisky on the side. Sláinte mhaith! RECIPES | St Patrick's Day dishes

| Don’t Break Up Big Tech Posted: 15 Mar 2019 03:30 AM PDT  The worst ideas in Washington are often bipartisan. Big Tech is about to learn this lesson, if it hasn't already.Elizabeth Warren is out with a headline-grabbing proposal to break up Big Tech companies, the sort of overly ambitious government plan that once would have engendered knee-jerk Republican opposition. Not anymore. Who says we all can't get along?When the senator tweeted her (understandable) objection that Facebook had taken down her ads attacking Facebook and other tech companies, Ted Cruz agreed that the companies have too much power.Tech is caught in a right–left pincer. Conservatives don't like these companies because they are owned and operated by sanctimonious Silicon Valley liberals subject to the worst sort of groupthink. Progressives don't like them because they are colossal profit-making enterprises.That's why there is some chance Washington might get together and, along the lines Warren proposes, effectively outlaw the business models of some of the most successful and iconic American companies.Warren's idea to cleave off the platforms of the tech companies and have them run as "platform utilities" separate from the rest of their business is unworkable and is justified by a series of errors and misjudgments.It's not true, as Warren asserts, that the antitrust suit against Microsoft in the 1990s opened up the space for Google and Facebook to thrive. Microsoft never got the Internet and left the space open for Google and Facebook all by itself, as often happens with a large incumbent wedded to its business model.She charges that the tech companies use mergers to limit competition and cites Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp. It's hard to discern the harm here. When the social network bought it, WhatsApp was available for a fee. Now it's free, and more people use it than ever. What's the problem?She calls out Google for allegedly killing off its competitors by burying them in its searches. It's not obvious that Google actually does this, although its search business inherently involves constantly making choices to try to best serve what people want to see. No government regulator is going to improve Google's searches, or is qualified to even try.Warren's proposal is obviously formulated without taking any account of the interests of consumers, who are the ones who made the tech companies so large.Why does Google provide for free a tool without which it's impossible to imagine contemporary life? Because it can monetize it with advertising. Without the advertising, which Warren insists should be a separate business, Google has no incentive to devote engineers to improving its search engine.By the same token, no one will welcome iPhones that no longer come with or sell Apple apps. And would people really appreciate having to go to two different Amazons, one just a platform, one selling Amazon products?This is all silly, as are the mergers that Warren pledges to reverse, including Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods. Amazon doesn't have anything close to a monopoly in food retail. Rather than taking over the sector, it's spurring investment and innovation. The nation's largest supermarket chain, Kroger, was slated to increase its spending on investment 200 percent in 2018.The tech giants aren't stand-pat companies. Amazon alone spent more than $22 billion on investment in 2017. The development of autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, and voice recognition wouldn't be nearly as advanced if it weren't for the research of the tech companies. The behemoth of yesteryear, General Electric, isn't making these investments.None of this is to deny genuine concerns about tech companies. They need rules for content that honor the spirit of the First Amendment, and perhaps there should be tighter regulations around privacy. But any real offenses should be addressed with fixes directed at specific conduct, rather than with a massive politically imposed reorganization.That's a very bad idea, and if you had any doubt, watch it get a respectful hearing from both sides in Washington.© 2019 by King Features Syndicate

| Boeing upgrades software on crisis-hit 737 MAX after deadly crash Posted: 15 Mar 2019 02:04 PM PDT  Boeing is upgrading the stall prevention software on its 737 MAX, industry sources said Friday, as French investigators scoured black box data from the latest of two deadly crashes involving the aircraft in recent months. The MAX has been grounded worldwide following Sunday's Ethiopia Airlines disaster that killed all 157 on board, and the fallout has left the company, regulators and airlines scrambling to respond. Boeing will fine-tune its MCAS system -- implicated in the crash of a Lion Air 737 MAX 8 in Indonesia in October -- within 10 days, said two sources, who cautioned that the cause of the latest crash has yet to be determined.

| New render might give us our first look at Google’s Pixel 4 design Posted: 15 Mar 2019 05:21 AM PDT  Google's Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL aren't even five months old at this point, and leaks have told us that there are still two more versions of the Pixel 3 coming this year. That's right, Google will harken back to the beloved Nexus smartphone line it discontinued and release two lower-cost versions of its most recent Pixel handsets. We're definitely looking forward to seeing what Google has in store for the mid-range smartphone market, but it looks like attention is already turning to a point a bit further in the future.A leak on Thursday showed us a supposed sketch of the design Google will use for its upcoming Pixel 4 XL. The Pixel 4 series isn't expected to be released for another seven months, and we have yet to see any solid rumors about what Google might have in store for Android fans this year. According to that sketch and a new leaked render, however, Google may be planning to finally release new flagship phones with designs that aren't stuck in the past.Google's Pixel phone lineup has always been great, but it has also always been stuck in the past. The original Pixel phones were designed by HTC for Google, and they were blatant iPhone 6 ripoffs. The next two Pixel generations would move away from Apple's designs, for the most part, but they were also always behind the times. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are the best illustration of that fact. By late 2018 when the Pixel 3 was released, it was the only flagship phone from a major smartphone vendor that still featured massive bezels above and below the screen. The Pixel 3 XL was better, but only marginally -- it has an oversized notch at the top, but still has a huge bezel down below the display.In 2019, Google might finally catch up with the times. The big trend in smartphone design this year is the hole-punch display like the one on Samsung's new Galaxy S10, and a leaked design sketch yesterday showed us a supposed Google Pixel 4 XL sketch with a dual-lens front-facing camera peaking through a hole cut out of the phone's top-right corner. Google's current Pixel 3 XL has a dual-lens selfie cam setup, so the sketch certainly makes sense, though there were some things about it that made us skeptical. Now, adding a bit of fuel to the fire, a Bulgarian blog called iDroidbg has posted a supposed render of the upcoming Pixel 4.The render shows a design that is quite similar to the Pixel 4 XL sketch we saw yesterday, but there's only a single lens selfie cam peering through the display.Apart from the modernized hole-punch display, there are two other key takeaways from this render. First, there is no longer a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. If the render is indeed accurate, it would indicate that Google is going with an in-display sensor like many other flagship Android phones. Second, and perhaps most importantly, the Pixel 4 XL sketch and this new Pixel 4 render both show a new dual-lens camera on the back of the phone. Google's Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are considered to be among the best camera phones in the world despite having single-lens rear cameras, so it will be interesting to see if Google decides to change its winning formula and adopt a dual-lens setup.
