Titus Andromedon is Living Single and loving it in the final season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The Netflix comedy wraps its three-year run on Jan. 25, and to help tide us over until that day comes, the streaming service has released a clip from the midseason premiere — and it’s pure magic [boy]. Just as Kimmy gave us Little Girl, Big City earlier this season, Titus’ inner sitcom — titled Magic Boy, naturally — gives us a sense of what the world looks like from his perspective. And we want to go to there. (Side note: If title sequence recreations are very much your jam, you should also click here to check out grown-ish‘s shot-for-shot homage to A Different World. Can this become a trend please?) Per Netflix, here’s what we can expect from Kimmy‘s big return: In the final six episodes of the beloved series, Kimmy is as resilient as ever, but realizes that being an adult is about more than just putting the past behind her. It’s finally time for her to choose between helping her friends, Titus, Jacqueline and Lillian, and helping someone she’s never put first before: herself. The season also includes a double-sized ‘Sliding Doors’ episode that explores how the main characters lives might have been different if Kimmy had never been kidnapped. –
Vegas Golden Knights defenceman Nate Schmidt will miss the first 20 games of the season after he was suspended for violating the NHL's performance-enhancing substances policy. It's the league's first suspension under the policy since Jarred Tinordi in 2016 and just the fifth since the most recent collective bargaining agreement went into effect in 2013. Schmidt, his agent and the Golden Knights criticized the punishment and questioned its merits. "It is difficult to accept this suspension," Schmidt said Sunday in a lengthy statement. "I understand that I will miss these games, but I do not agree with the suspension and I will not accept being labelled a cheater." Schmidt can take part in training camp, but is ineligible for preseason games. The earliest he can return is Nov. 18 at Edmonton. "It was utterly shocking to be informed that I tested positive for a microscopic amount of a tainted substance," Schmidt said. "Not only did I not intentionally take a banned substance, I could not have received any performance enhancement benefit from the trace amount that inadvertently got into my system at a level that was far too small to have any effect." The 27-year-old Schmidt said an expert in environmental contamination who testified on his behalf at the appeal hearing likened the amount of the banned substance to a pinch of salt in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Schmidt said he only takes supplements given to him by his NHL team and has never tested positive before. The Golden Knights said they disagree with the suspension and "firmly believe that the presence of a trace of the banned substance was accidental and unintentional." Statement from Nate Schmidt, via <a href="https://twitter.com/NHLPA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NHLPA</a> <a href="https://t.co/kGA5acPDG7">pic.twitter.com/kGA5acPDG7</a> —@FriedgeHNIC Agent Matt Keator said Schmidt "is innocent and this is a wrong decision." "He would never risk his principles by taking performance-enhancing drugs," Keator said in a text message to The Associated Press. "There was no intentional use of a banned substance which is backed up scientifically." The 6-foot-1, 194-pound Schmidt led the Golden Knights in ice time last season at 22:14 a game. He had 36 points during the regular season and seven during Vegas' run to the Stanley Cup Final. "I'm extremely proud to be a player in the NHL. I have never cut corners in order to achieve this goal," Schmidt said. "I can't put into words how disappointed I am that I will not be on the ice at the beginning of the season to help my teammates work towards another Stanley Cup run." Schmidt is entering his fifth NHL season after the Washington Capitals signed him as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Minnesota. He has 79 points in 276 career regular-season games with the Capitals and Golden Knights. Kimmy Schmidt has apparently reached her breaking point. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will end its run on Netflix after its fourth season, TVLine’s sister site Deadline reports, with a finale movie in the works to wrap up any loose ends. The movie will reportedly be written by Kimmy co-creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock following production on Season 4, which releases its first six (of 13) episodes on Wednesday, May 30. (The second half arrives later this year.)

The fourth season of Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has a premiere date, or at least the first half of it does. The show is taking a different route than it has before, releasing the first six episodes ahead of the rest of the season, and the first half will be available to stream starting May 30th. Jane Krakowski, who plays Jacqueline on the show, told the Today show, “We’re going to shoot them and get them out as quickly as possible so we don’t have to make our fans and audiences wait so long.” Season three debuted in May last year.

On Thursday, the second most valuable company in the world announced that one of its chieftains was stepping down.
Eric Schmidt, 62 and enormously wealthy, said he would leave his post as executive chairman at Alphabet for an advisory role with the company. Alphabet is the parent company of Google, whose online empire Schmidt presided over as CEO and executive chairman for 17 years of unrelenting growth.
Schmidt—a software engineer, seasoned executive, tabloid regular, and Burning Man enthusiast—isn’t exactly pulling a Thoreau to live in a tent outside his mother’s place or anything. Rather, he said he’s going off to work on “science and technology issues”—which, CNBC reports, may include advising the company’s urban development division, Sidewalk Labs, as well as some health care projects with the company.
As he walks away from the internet leviathan he once shepherded, it’s worth reflecting on the web he helped to build, and the various discomforts it has erased. (Not for nothing did he once say that Google’s policy is to “get right up to the creepy line.”)
It’s one where free services are powered by advertising and paid for with our data, a bargain that fundamentally reshaped our relationship with corporations, particularly (but not only) large internet companies. Google’s customers are advertisers.
The people who use many of its most popular services are the products, with advertisers paying for access to our attention. YouTube, Gmail, Google Docs, Maps, Search—all are free for the low price of your privacy.
(Disclosure: Schmidt is the former chairman of the board of New America, a think tank that partners with Slate and Arizona State University in Future Tense, a project about emerging technologies. Schmidt, his family foundation, and Google have all donated money to New America. In August 2017 a former New America employee who was critical of Google alleged that he was fired because Schmidt held undue influence at the organization, a charge New America denied.)

Before Schmidt became a Googler, the young company abided by that famous guiding philosophy: “Don’t be evil.” The slogan helped inspire trust from its customers, who knew or didn’t much consider that they were getting free, high-quality tech in exchange for allowing it to trace their every move on the site.
Schmidt took the free-for-your-data bargain and ran with it, laying the foundation for a multibillion-dollar ad business that now bolsters one of the most powerful companies in the world.
On some level, Schmidt always thought the slogan was kind of silly. It had been in place before he arrived at the company in 2001. “When I showed up,” he said in a 2013 interview on Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, “I thought this was the stupidest rule ever, because there’s no book about evil except maybe, you know, the Bible or something.”
Evil, in other words, could mean anything. When Google was reorganized to become Alphabet in 2015, the new company decided to abandon the mantra and replace it with a call to “do the right thing.”
Under Schmidt’s leadership, Google notched its fair share of not-quite-not-evil missteps. After getting everyone hooked on Gmail and Search, the company started to erode some of its original privacy promises. In 2012, when Schmidt was the executive chairman, the company decided your data would be shared across all your Google accounts.
When you watch something on YouTube, the resulting data becomes linked to your email account. If you do an online search for something embarrassing in Chrome and someone uses your computer when you’re still logged in, that search may influence what ads they see, potentially giving away your private curiosities.
And Google Search, its most popular product, has a long history of failing to prevent racist and bigoted results from surfacing. It wasn’t until 2013 that Google launched an update to stop showing mugshots prominently in search results, which were haunting people who had any history of arrest when, for instance, they were job-hunting or trying to establish any kind of online presence.
BI Intelligence
If you Googled “three black teenagers” last year, you were likely to see three mugshots, but searching for “three white teenagers” would get you three white teens laughing. If you searched for an image of Michelle Obama in 2009, you may have first seen an offensive photo of the first lady depicted as a monkey.
When a journalist started typing “Are Jews” into Google search in 2016, the company suggested “evil” as the third word, navigating a user to a page confirming that yes appears to be the answer; similar anti-Semitic results surfaced when searching for “Jew” on Google in 2004.
This year, journalists found the company let advertisers target users based on racist and anti-Semitic phrases. Sure, some this happened after Alphabet ditched the lofty slogan, but the company’s inertia in these areas was long established.
Either not being evil didn’t mean not being racist, or the company’s executives never prioritized the mission to the point that it meant excising hatred and bias from Google’s services.
Or maybe it didn’t pause enough to ask whether it was being evil, or whether a seemingly benign action might have evil consequences. (And there’s a strong chance that Google would be better at preventing its algorithms from perpetuating bigotry and stereotypes if there were more diversity among its executive team.)
While all this happened, of course, modern life became dependent on Google, and certainly easier thanks to it. We can find what we want in seconds online. We’d be lost in new cities without it.
Try getting a job without an email address, and why on Earth would anyone make a new email address with a Yahoo or Hotmail account these days? Want to upload a video you made to share with the world—YouTube is where you’re bound to get the most views. Want to collaborate on a memo? You’re using Google Docs.
For all that, we can thank the company that became one of the most important nodes in our lives, its unchecked growth powered in part perhaps because it compromised its ethos.
And we can thank the man who didn’t necessarily embrace evil, but who didn’t not embrace it, either.

Alphabet Inc. issued an announcement on Thursday confirming a major executive shake-up: Eric Schmidt is out as the company’s executive chairman of the board of directors, effective when the company holds its next board meeting in January 2018. At that point, he will transition to a role of “technical advisor” for Alphabet and still serve on its board as a member.
“Larry [Page], Sergey [Brin], Sundar [Pichai], and I all believe that the time is right in Alphabet’s evolution for this transition,” Schmidt said as part of the announcement. “The Alphabet structure is working well, and Google and the Other Bets are thriving.” He noted one possible explanation for the transition: to “expand” his efforts in the worlds of philanthropy and “science and technology issues.” (This could, among other things, include more vocal opposition to lobbyists and other firms who deny climate change and denounce net neutrality.)
The announcement includes statements from Alphabet CEO Larry Page and independent board director John Hennessy thanking Schmidt for 17 years of contributions to Google and Alphabet. It also suggests that a “non-executive chairman” will be appointed in 2018.

(Reuters) — Alphabet Inc said on Thursday its Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt will step down from his position to become a technical adviser as of its next regular board meeting in January.
He will continue to serve on the Alphabet’s board of directors, the company said.
“The time is right in Alphabet’s evolution for this transition,” Schmidt said in a statement. “The Alphabet structure is working well, and Google and the Other Bets are thriving.”
Schmidt will continue to serve Alphabet as an adviser focused on technical and science issues, the company said Thursday.
“I‘m incredibly excited about the progress our companies are making and about the strong leaders who are driving that innovation,” said Chief Executive Larry Page in a statement.
Schmidt, who was recruited to the company by Google cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, served as chief executive of the company from 2001 through 2011. Schmidt was instrumental to growing the company from a Mountain View, California, internet search startup into a publicly traded, global business with multiple products and business units, former Google employees said.
“He helped them mature into the powerhouse business it is today without throwing away the uniqueness that was Google during those early days,” said Joe Beda, chief technology officer of Seattle startup Heptio and a Google employee from 2004 through 2014.
While Page and Brin would focus on the company’s technology and the product strategies, Schmidt would focus on how to scale every product to a global level, said Bismarck Lepe, CEO of San Francisco startup Wizeline and a Google employee from 2003 until 2007.
“Understanding how to keep and make your customers happy was important, and Eric understood that in spades,” Lepe said. “He was incredibly smart and incredibly technical which made him a perfect fit in the organization.”

Steve Case, the cofounder and AOL and the creator of a series of tours called Rise of the Rest that highlight startup activity in places outside of Silicon Valley, has secured $ 150 million for a new venture capital fund. Also called Rise of the Rest, this fund will invest in startups in these traditionally overlooked markets. Additionally, Case has got backing from some big names in Silicon Valley.
The New York Times broke the story Monday evening. The fund’s investors include Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Alphabet’s Eric Schmidt, Starbucks’ Howard Schultz, Spanx’s Sara Blakely, former Facebook president Sean Parker, KPCB Partner John Doerr, and Dan Gilbert, the cofounder of Quicken Loans.
Case has made investing in startups in underserved markets his mission for the past several years. Since 2014, his Rise of the Rest bus tours have visited with entrepreneurs and investors in 33 cities — hosting a pitch competition in each one where startups have the chance to win a $ 100,000 investment from Case. Case is also the Chairman and CEO of Revolution, a separate venture capital firm that seeks to become the “premier firm outside of Silicon Valley.”
While a number of Silicon Valley CEOs ranging from Mark Zuckerberg to Tim Cook have given interviews in recent months about the importance of connecting with consumers and businesses outside of Silicon Valley, the formation of the fund is the first in a series of many concrete steps that will be needed to close the venture capital gap between Silicon Valley and the rest of the country. More than 75 percent of all venture capital money in the U.S. goes to just three states: California, New York, and Massachusetts.
“I felt it [investing in companies outside of Silicon Valley] was a no-brainer,” Schmidt told the New York Times. “There is a large selection of relatively undervalued businesses in the heartland between the coasts, some of which can scale quickly.”
However, it’s unlikely that a fledgling entrepreneur in Indianapolis will easily be able to get funding from Bezos and Schmidt thanks to Case’s new fund. According to the Times’ story, the goal is for Case and Hillbilly Elegy author JD Vance, who recently joined Revolution as a partner to provide seed investments, and then bring on some of the bigger names to invest more money in these companies later on.
“While the network in Silicon Valley is obviously something that is great, it can also have an exclusionary effect that prevents investors from looking at and finding opportunities that exist outside of their networks and outside of their geographies,” Vance told the Times.
VentureBeat has reached out to Case’s public relations team for more information and will update with any additional comments.
]]>The 62-year-old, with an estimated wealth of $ 11.1 billion, has never hidden his political leanings, jumping straight into Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign long before she officially announced her candidacy. In one of John Podesta’s leaked emails, the long-time Clinton confidant and chairman of her presidential campaign told her soon-to-be campaign manager Robby Mook that he had met with Schmidt in April 2014, more than a year before Clinton told the American public that she was hoping to become their next president.
“I met with Eric Schmidt tonight… He’s ready to fund, advise recruit talent, etc. He clearly wants to be head outside advisor, but didn’t seem like he wanted to push others out. Clearly wants to get going. He’s still in DC tomorrow and would like to meet with you if you are in DC in the afternoon. I think it’s worth doing…” Podesta wrote in the email, which was published by WikiLeaks last October.
Another email, written two weeks later, showed Schmidt sharing his campaign ideas with Clinton aide Cheryl Mills. “Let’s assume a total budget of about $ 1.5 billion, with more than 5,000 paid employees and million(s) of volunteers,” he said.
He went on to brainstorm ideas on how to utilize technology in the campaign. It wasn’t long before The Groundwork, founded by analysts and engineers who worked on Barack Obama’s campaign and funded by Schmidt, became Clinton’s top technology provider. The Groundwork was housed in an office just a few blocks away from Clinton’s campaign headquarters in Brooklyn, New York.
Schmidt continued to advise Clinton on digital matters throughout the campaign.
“Eric recognizes how the technology he’s been building his whole career can be applied to different spaces. The idea of tech as a force multiplier is something he deeply understands,” The Groundwork’s Michael Slaby told Quartz in 2015.
Then there was campaign night, when a photo forwarded to Politico showed a smiling Schmidt at Clinton’s election headquarters, complete with a “staff” badge.
Schmidt’s efforts to get Clinton elected, along with Google’s overall efforts to do the same, were addressed in a November 2016 report by the Campaign for Accountability ‒ a non-partisan, non-profit organization that aims to expose misconduct and malfeasance in public life ‒ and its Google Transparency Project. The document concluded that “Google executives and employees bet heavily on a Clinton victory, hoping to extend the company’s influence on the White House.” It added that “had she won the election, Clinton would have been significantly indebted to Google and Schmidt, whom she referred to as her ‘longtime friend.'”
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange also brought up the relationship between Schmidt and the US establishment in his 2014 book, ‘When Google Met WikiLeaks.’ He describes a 2011 encounter with Schmidt in Norfolk, UK, where Assange was under house arrest at the time.
“I had been too eager to see a politically unambitious Silicon Valley engineer, a relic of the good old days of computer science graduate culture on the West Coast. But that is not the sort of person who attends the Bilderberg conference four years running, who pays regular visits to the White House, or who delivers ‘fireside chats’ at the World Economic Forum in Davos,” Assange wrote. “Schmidt’s emergence as Google’s ‘foreign minister’ – making pomp and ceremony state visits across geopolitical fault lines – had not come out of nowhere; it had been presaged by years of assimilation within US establishment networks of reputation and influence.”
Schmidt’s political leanings became clear in the early days of Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign. He publicly endorsed Obama, telling The Wall Street Journal in October 2008 that he was “doing this personally,” as Google was “officially neutral” in the election. He also served as an informal adviser to Obama’s campaign.
Schmidt also donated $ 5,000, the maximum allowed by law, to Obama’s 2008 campaign, according to US media reports that cited a now-deleted official list of donors. Schmidt’s close relationship with Obama didn’t end when the Democratic candidate was elected. Schmidt chaired the board of public policy think tank New America Foundation, working closely with Obama as a member of his Transition Economic Advisory Board. Later, Schmidt claimed a seat on Obama’s new Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
The two became so close that the Consumer Watchdog sent a letter to the White House demanding that Obama distance himself from Google, and stop inviting Schmidt to fancy galas in Washington, DC. The group pointed out that Schmidt, and then-Google Vice President Marissa Mayer, were invited to a state dinner despite the company being under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice over allegations that it profited from selling online ads to illegal pharmacies.
“Executives of companies under federal criminal investigation should not be invited while a major case is pending. Allowing such executives to hobnob at a gala White House event inevitably sends a message that the Administration supports them and undercuts the ability of federal investigators to proceed with their case in a fair and unbiased way,” reads the letter, dated June 23, 2011.
Schmidt also supported Obama’s 2012 campaign, helping to recruit talent, deciding on technology, as well as mentoring campaign manager, Jim Messina. He was present in the Chicago, Illinois boiler room on election night. The Google executive was apparently so impressed by Obama’s campaign staff that he invested in several start-ups founded by the analysts and engineers who worked on it, one of those being The Groundwork.
Schmidt’s announcement to ‘de-rank’ RT’s articles comes despite Google’s own investigation saying it found no manipulation of its platform or policy violations by RT. There may be more ground to question Schmidt’s integrity than that of RT – but that’s highly unlikely to happen in today’s climate, because Google is not a Russian company.
