A Singapore judge sentenced a 37-year-old man to death on Friday during a hearing conducted on the video-conferencing platform Zoom, Reuters and The Straits Times reported.
Punithan Genasan, 37, was sentenced at the Singapore High Court for his role in a 2011 heroin deal. The city-state has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drugs.
A spokesman for Singapore's Supreme Court says Genasan's death sentence is the first capital punishment to be handed down over a video-conferencing court hearing.
Genasan's lawyer Peter Fernando named Zoom as the site that was used, and said he had no issues hearing the judge, according to Reuters. Fernando added that the judge was only handing down a sentence, and no arguments were being heard.
He said, however, that they may launch an appeal.
Like many other countries, Singapore has turned to Zoom to hold court hearings remotely as coronavirus lockdowns make in-person hearings impossible.
The country has been on lockdown since early April and won't reopen until June 1 at the earliest. While initially lauded for its handling of the crisis, the city-state has now grown to have one of the highest coronavirus rates in Asia.
Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch's Asian division, issued a statement criticizing the use of Zoom in Genasan's capital case.Â
"Singapore's use of the death penalty is inherently cruel and inhumane, and the use of remote technology like Zoom to sentence a man to death makes it even more so," Robertson said, according to Reuters.
Andrew Stroehlein, the European media director at Human Rights Watch, also tweeted: "The tech may be new, but the inhumanity is archaic..."
Singapore isn't the first country to issue a death penalty via Zoom during the coronavirus outbreak. In early May, a man in Nigeria was sentenced over Zoom to hang for the murder of his boss' mother, according to the BBC.Â
A whistleblower who exposed that Apple was hoovering up people's Siri recordings has gone public in decrying the company.
Thomas le Bonniec was a contractor for Apple's Siri "grading" project, taking snippets of people talking to Siri and transcribing them to improve the smart assistant's accuracy.
Now le Bonniec, who is based in Cork, Ireland, has sent an open letter to European privacy regulators, published in the early hours of Wednesday, calling on them to take action against the tech giant.
"It is worrying that Apple (and undoubtedly not just Apple) keeps ignoring and violating fundamental rights and continues their massive collection of data," he writes.
"I am extremely concerned that big tech companies are basically wiretapping entire populations despite European citizens being told the EU has one of the strongest data protection laws in the world. Passing a law is not good enough: it needs to be enforced upon privacy offenders."
Last year le Bonniec revealed to The Guardian that working for Apple he heard a huge array of private and sometimes intimate voice recordings sent unwittingly by Siri users including medical discussions, drug deals, and couples having sex. These snippets were sometimes taken without a user deliberately activating Siri.
"I listened to hundreds of recordings every day, from various Apple devices (eg. iPhones, Apple Watches, or iPads). These recordings were often taken outside of any activation of Siri, eg in the context of an actual intention from the user to activate it for a request. These processings were made without users being aware of it, and were gathered into datasets to correct the transcription of the recording made by the device," le Bonniec said in his letter.
"The recordings were not limited to the users of Apple devices, but also involved relatives, children, friends, colleagues, and whoever could be recorded by the device. The system recorded everything: names, addresses, messages, searches, arguments, background noises, films, and conversations. I heard people talking about their cancer, referring to dead relatives, religion, sexuality, pornography, politics, school, relationships, or drugs with no intention to activate Siri whatsoever," he added.
Apple was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Business Insider about le Bonniec's letter. The company apologized for the privacy violation last year and suspended the grading program. The revelations were part of a wider trend of stories about smart assistant recordings being sent to contracted workers â Amazon had a similar program for Alexa,Â
A US Air Force F-35A crashed during a routine night-training exercise around 9:30 p.m. near Eglin Air Force Base in Florida on Tuesday, officials said in a statement.
The pilot assigned to the 58th Fighter Squadron was transported to the hospital after successfully ejecting from the aircraft and is in stable condition.
No one was killed and no civilian property was damaged in the incident, Eglin Air Force Base said in a statement.
In a separate incident at around 9:15 a.m. on Friday, a US Air Force F-22 Raptor crashed near Eglin Air Force Base. The pilot also ejected safely and the incident is under investigation.
The crash is the third incident involving the advanced jet, which has been in production since 2006.
n 2018, a US Marine Corps F-35B crashed in South Carolina, after a "manufacturing defect caused an engine fuel tube to rupture during flight, resulting in a loss of power to the engine," according to a government report. The pilot ejected safely and survived.
One year after the F-35B crash, a Japanese F-35A crashed into the Pacific Ocean after the pilot was determined to have experienced "spatial disorientation" or vertigo, Reuters reported at the time. The Japanese Air Self-Defense Force pilot was killed.
The F-35A, the most common version of three different variants, is designed to be operated on conventional runways. Each aircraft is estimated to cost around $90 million.
The 58th Fighter Squadron and its parent 33rd Fighter Wing routinely trains its F-35 pilots on Eglin Air Force Base.

General Motors and LG Chem are doing preparatory construction on a new, $2.3 billion factory in Ohio.
The companies made the announcement on Tuesday and said that the new, 50-50 joint venture would be called "Ultium Cells LLC." Earlier this year, GM unveiled its new Ultium battery technology, intended to power 22 new electrified vehicles by 2023.
In 2018, GM "un-allocated" its Lordstown Assembly plant, later idling the facility and then selling it to Lordstown Motors. The closure became an issue when President Donald Trump got involved, and it remained an issue through the 2019 United Auto Workers strike against GM.
The new factory is located near the old Lordstown plant, and GM has said that it will be staffed with UAW workers and create 1,100 new jobs.
"During the pandemic, product development work on GM's future EV and AV portfolios continues to progress at a rapid pace," GM said in a statement.
"The Cruise Origin was revealed in San Francisco earlier this year, and production timing remains on track for the yet-to-be-revealed Cadillac Lyriq and GMC HUMMER EV, all powered by the Ultium battery system."
Automakers aiming to compete in the growing electric-car market want to secure a steady supply of batteries. Tesla operates a large Gigafactory in Nevada, manufacturing the thousands of cells that go into its vehicles, in partnership with Panasonic.Â
In a shock to the rocket-and-spaceship industry, NASA's human spaceflight chief abruptly resigned on Monday. Congress is also taking note of the rapid departure â the second from the critical agency role in less than a year.
The departure of Doug Loverro, who took command of NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate on December 2, comes at a critical time for the US space agency.
On May 27, SpaceX is scheduled to launch its first passengers â NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley â on a roughly three-month mission to space called Demo-2. The test flight is designed to show NASA that SpaceX, the rocket company Elon Musk founded 18 years ago, can safely launch people into orbit aboard its Crew Dragon spaceship, dock with the International Space Station, and return the crew to Earth.
If successful, the crewed mission would be the first to launch from American soil since July 2011, which is when NASA flew its last space shuttle mission.
Before joining NASA, Loverro served as a member of the Department of Defense's Senior Executive Service. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine previously described Loverro as "a respected strategic leader" who was to help execute the space agency's Commercial Crew Program, which Demo-2 is a part of. He also managed an ambitious (and controversial) plan to land humans back on the moon in 2024, called Artemis.
"He is known for his strong, bipartisan work and his experience with large programs will be of great benefit to NASA at this critical time in our final development of human spaceflight systems for both Commercial Crew and Artemis," Bridenstine said in an October 16 announcement of Loverro's hiring.
SpaceRef published an all-hands email that Loverro sent to NASA's human exploration division on Tuesday, the day after he officially resigned.
"The risks we take, whether technical, political, or personal, all have potential consequences if we judge them incorrectly. I took such a risk earlier in the year because I judged it necessary to fulfill our mission," Loverro wrote mid-way through his email. "Now, over the balance of time, it is clear that I made a mistake in that choice for which I alone must bear the consequences. And therefore, it is with a very, very heavy heart that I write to you today to let you know that I have resigned from NASA effective May 18th, 2020."
He told his colleagues that he left "because of my personal actions, not anything we have accomplished together."
The executive's departure from NASA on Monday was by all account unexpected. At 5 p.m. ET, for example, Loverro tweeted a NASA video explaining how the agency's forthcoming (and very over-budget and behind-schedule) Space Launch System works.
Loverro did not specify the nature of his perceived mistake in his email to employees, or to the press. Though Politico reporter Jacqueline Feldscher managed to reach Loverro by phone, for instance, he declined to comment on his "mistake." But he did reportedly intimate that his resignation was "not due to a disagreement with NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine or any safety concerns about next week's launch."
Eric Berger, the senior space editor at Ars Technica, stated that Loverro's folly was "not related to Crew Dragon," which is the spaceship that's about to launch Behnken and Hurley. Rather, Berger said it seemed to stem from Loverro's selection of SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Dynetics for nearly $1 billion worth of lunar lander contracts for the Artemis program. (The agency is struggling for resources to execute the program on-time.)
A spokesperson at NASA declined to comment on the matter. Members of Congress, for their part, have begun to speak up about the incident.
"I am deeply concerned over this sudden resignation, especially given its timing," Rep. Kendra Horn, a Democrat from Oklahoma, who chairs the space subcommittee of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, told Politico in a statement. "Under this administration, we've seen a pattern of abrupt departures that have disrupted our nation's efforts at human space flight. ... The bottom line is that, as the committee that overseas [sic] NASA, we need answers."
Loverro's departure comes less than a year after the July demotion of Bill Gerstenmaier, who led NASA's human spaceflight division for nearly 15 years. Ken Bowersox, a former astronaut and the deputy associate administrator for NASA's human spaceflight division, is filling in for Loverro's role as he did following Gerstenmaier's departure.
Wayne Hale, an aerospace engineering consultant and retired NASA space shuttle program manager and flight director, says he was "surprised as anyone" to learn of Loverro's apparent ouster. But he did not express doubt about the agency's current position with Bowersox at the helm.
"I have great confidence in Ken Bowersox," Hale told Business Insider in a message, adding that he "has the experience and judgment to shepherd human spaceflight through the coming weeks."
This story has been updated with new information.
Uber had two enormous layoffs this month but it didn't treat the employees in both of those layoffs the same in terms of severance pay, although the company plans to make amends and retroactively offer the initial group more pay, a source familiar with Uber's plans tells us.
Much attention was given to how the first crop of employees learned they were jobless via a group Zoom call, (after that, the second crop mostly learned in 1:1 calls, the company said).
But the difference in severance was arguably even more important. The 3,700 people let go on May 6 got four weeks of pay as a base severance, compared to 10 weeks of pay for those let go May 18.
About 3,500 of the laid-off workers on May 6 were comprised of the company's lowest-paid, hourly support workers (the rest were mostly recruiters), the company said. But the May 18 layoff hit its white collar workers such as engineers, people in finance, and so on, sources told Business Insider.Â
According to documents seen by Business Insider, the group of people laid off on May 6 were laid off under the company's 2019 severance plan. Uber had several layoffs last year.
Uber offered the workers let go on May 6 four weeks severance plus two weeks of pay for every year worked based on the weekly wage the worker earned. It also offered them paid medical, dental, vision until the end of the year, just as it did for the second group of workers.
A week after that first layoff, at a company's all-hands, Uber told the remaining employees that the severance package for the upcoming layoff would be 10 weeks pay, a person familiar with the matter told Business Insider.
So on May 6, laid-off support workers with two years of service were told they'd get eight weeks of pay in their official paperwork. On May 18, laid-off white-collar workers with two years experience were told they would be getting 14 weeks of pay.
Uber is retroactively granting the earlier group the 10 weeks of base severance, according to someone familiar with these plans. However, as of Tuesday, workers who were part of the group on May 6 are largely unaware of Uber's plans to provide more severance, said one person familiar with that situation.
The question is why has Uber increased its severance? It wasn't a matter of planning. Both of these layoffs were in the works for weeks, sources tell Business Insider. And since the second layoff consisted of higher-wage employees, by giving more severance for each one of them, it cost the company roughly triple the cash as the first wave. The first layoff was supposed to cost $20 million, but after the increase in severance, it will now cost $35 million to $40 million, excluding stock, Uber said in an SEC filing. The second layoff will cost between $110 million to $140 million, Uber said.
Uber made the change in response to "feedback" to how it was handling its layoff, Khosrowshahi said.
Uber's layoffs couldn't help but be compared to Airbnb, who conducted a 25% layoff of staff the same week Uber did its first round of cuts. Airbnb was widely praised for its handling of its layoff due to its upfront letter about it, generous severance of 14 weeks base plus one week per year tenure, one year of paid medical insurance, and other benefits, such as letting laid off workers keep their work PCs, and publishing a directory of terminated employees for recruiters to peruse.
With the second round of layoffs, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi followed much the same playbook, including sharing a heartfelt letter to employees, offering extra assistance to laid-off visa holders and employees on parental leave, promising a talent directory. And the company also increased severance.
 "As we previewed last week, we have taken a lot of feedback and worked to provide strong severance benefits and other support for those leaving Uber, like healthcare coverage and an alumni talent directory," Khosrowshahi said in that letter to the troops.
The issue of course is one of reputation. If Uber wants to be able to recruit when its able to grow again, it has to show a track record of treating its employees right when times are tough.

Apple has reportedly asked some employees to return to the office over the coming weeks in what is likely an effort to resume regular work on critical and confidential products.
The company's push to get its global offices up and running as soon as possible comes even as many other offices plan to stay closed because of the coronavirus pandemic. It's also in stark contrast to competitors like Microsoft, Google, and Facebook that plan to settle into long-term remote work for the months to come.
The company has famously maintained a distinct culture of secrecy that has defined its working conditions as different from those of other Silicon Valley giants â and other large corporations period. That's seemingly evident in its office reopening strategy as Bloomberg has reported that Apple has already begun its first phase of bringing employees back to work in some regions.
That plan is expected to continue through late May and early June to the company's global offices, the report said. Even more employees are expected to return in July during Apple's reported second phase.
It's uncertain whether returning to work is mandatory for the workers included in phase one, and it's also unclear which specific teams have been asked to return. Employees will either be asked to report to the office regularly or only in certain periods, according to Bloomberg.
The first phase will include employees whose jobs are more challenging to execute from home. The report also says that work on upcoming Apple hardware projects, like the virtual- and augmented-reality glasses the company is reportedly developing, has been scaled back while employees have been working remotely.
Apple did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
The company's move to get corporate employees back to the office as quickly as possible during a pandemic appears to be a departure from the approach taken by other technology companies. Amazon has told employees that those who can work from home can continue to do so until October 2, according to Reuters. Microsoft, which like Amazon, Apple, and other tech companies has been remote since March, also said that most workers can continue doing their jobs from home through October.
Facebook's offices are expected to reopen in July, but the social-media giant said it would allow most employees to work from home for the rest of the year. Google, similarly, has told employees that they would likely be working from home for the rest of the year, although those who need to return to the office would be able to do so in June or July.
In what may be the most extreme remote-work policy change to come from a major tech company so far, Twitter is allowing employees to work from home permanently. Payments company Square, which Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey also leads, is allowing workers to permanently work remotely, too.
But unlike many of these companies, Apple's business model is largely hardware-centric. The iPhone still generates more revenue than any other Apple product, and its wearables division has been booming in recent years.
Working on new hardware remotely is likely proving challenging, especially for a company that famously prioritizes secrecy. Doors on campus have blacked-out windows to preserve privacy, and staff are usually allowed to take home products only if they receive permission from their division's vice president, according to Bloomberg. Employees are also given access to only certain doors with their ID badges depending on which projects they've been informed of, a former Apple employee wrote for Vox in 2017.
But as the company has been forced to move to work-from-home arrangements, some engineers have reportedly been allowed to take home hardware products so that they can continue working. Certain employees considered business critical, like data-center engineers and some hardware testers, have also been allowed to work in the office as other employees stay remote.
There are still many lingering questions about what returning to work will look like. Even plans that are being set in place by companies like Apple could change depending on how the situation evolves given the coronavirus' unpredictable nature.
What Apple's reported decision tells us so far, though, is that it sees its work as very much tied to an in-office culture, even as other tech firms are embracing remote-work lifestyles. What Apple plans to do to ensure employee health and public safety as consequence of this decision remains to be seen.

Comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan has signed a multi-year licensing deal with Spotify, giving the platform exclusive rights to host full episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience, one of the most popular podcasts on the planet.
The Joe Rogan Experience has over 8 million YouTube subscribers and is downloaded roughly 190 million times per month, according to Rogan, drawing in over $30 million annually. It has long been the most-searched-for podcast on Spotify, the company said, despite not being available on the platform before now.
Spotify did not disclose how much it spent, but The Wall Street Journal reports that the deal is worth over $100 million, citing a person familiar with the matter. Rogan's full catalogue will become available on Spotify in September and will be exclusive to the platform starting in 2021.
The deal will help bolster Spotify's rapidly growing podcast empire, and follows its acquisition of podcast networks including Parcast, Anchor, The Ringer, and Gimlet Media in the past year.
While those moves appeared to siphon listeners away from Apple's podcast app, the deal with Rogan is likely to draw in a significant portion of listeners who go to YouTube for podcasts.
Â
Rogan's podcast will remain free to download once it's hosted on Spotify.

Thousands of California residents have been isolated in their homes since Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a stay-at-home order on March 19.
Many are likely going stir-crazy while cooped up, with many having to do so in pint-sized apartments.
But one California couple is taking the tiny home lifestyle to the next level. Kristin Hanes and her partner usually live out of their 1994 Chevy Astro campervan in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now, they're traveling through the desert as the world weathers the storm caused by the coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19.
"Even though it's a teeny, tiny space, I feel like when we're out camping, we actually have a huge backyard," Kristin Hanes told Business Insider.
Here's how they're doing it.
With no New York auto show, carmakers are revealing new vehicles online. Toyota has planned for a spate of announcements in Gotham, but the coronavirus pandemic forced a change. So in addition to a revived Venza SUV, we're now â at long last â seeing the redesigned Sienna minivan.
The new Sienna has been eagerly anticipated by minivanistas for years now. I tested the outgoing generation several years ago, and even then it was a laggard relatively to its main competition, the Honda Odyssey and the Chrysler Pacifica. OK, the Sienna remained a stalwart family-hauler, and you weren't going to be disappointed if you got one. But it had been around for a decade.
The new Sienna updates just about everything. And, controversially perhaps, replaces all powertrain options with a single choice: a gas-electric hybrid.Â
I own two Toyota hybrids, so I can say that this isn't a bad move for Toyota â the carmaker's hybrid tech is proven and superb. The move should also help Toyota meet future fuel-economy regulations, as the Sienna now yields 33 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving.
Toyota didn't provide pricing, but the outgoing Sienna starts at a little over $34,000. It should hit dealerships later this year.
Have a closer look at the new 2021 Toyota Sienna:
President Donald Trump's claim that the US was developing a "super-duper missile" capable of reaching speeds far greater than any system publicly known was widely met with confusion from experts and by silence from US officials.
During an unveiling ceremony for the new Space Force flag at the White House on Friday, Trump compared the US's defense capabilities with that of foreign adversaries and claimed the US was developing a missile capable of reaching a speed that would be the "fastest in the world by a factor of almost three."
"I call it the 'super-duper missile,' and I heard the other night 17 times faster than what they have right now, when you take the fastest missile we have right now," Trump said.
"You've heard Russia has five times and China's working on five or six times â we have one 17 times, and it's just gotten the go-ahead," Trump added. "Seventeen times faster, if you can believe that."
Trump appeared to be referring to the Pentagon's work on hypersonic weapons, namely nimble hypersonic glide vehicles (HGV) that can reach speeds of at least Mach 5, or roughly 3,800 mph.
Chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman seemed to confirm the president was referring to hypersonic weapons in a reply to a tweet about the comment: "The Department of Defense is working on developing a range of hypersonic missiles to counter our adversaries."
Trump used a similar description for hypersonic weapons in February, saying that the US possessed "super-fast missiles" that were "four, five, six, and even seven times faster than an ordinary missile."
Hypersonic prototypes have been of interest to the Defense Department since the early 2000s, with advocates of the program pointing to technological advances made by Russia and China. The US successfully tested an unarmed hypersonic glide body in March, while Russia and China are expected to field operational HGVs as early as this year.
US Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, suggested the US was still in the race, despite the two adversaries outpacing it in hypersonic weapons testing: "We have lost our technical advantage in hypersonics," Selva said in January, according to Defense News. "We haven't lost the hypersonics fight."
According to Kingston Reif, director for disarmament and threat reduction policy at the Arms Control Association, Trump's mention of speeds that were "17 times faster" could have been in reference to the estimated speeds of the HGVs, which range from at least Mach 5 to around Mach 20.
But Trump's suggestion that HGVs are faster than existing missiles is false and reflects a misunderstanding of their capabilities, Reif added.
"The reported speed of these weapons (and hypersonic cruise missiles, which are slower than HGVs) are indeed faster than existing conventionally armed US air- and sea-delivered missiles such as the [Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile] and Tomahawk cruise missiles, which fly at subsonic speeds," Reif said. "But they are not faster than US nuclear-armed intercontinental-range ballistic missiles. These missiles reach hypersonic speeds in excess of Mach 20."
Indeed, the US Air Force's LGM-30 Minuteman III, an ICBM, can reach up to Mach 23, or over 17,600 mph.
"Trump's apparent obsession with hypersonic weapons reflects I think an over-hyping and misunderstanding of the value and capability of the weapons that is not confined to Trump and is reflected in much of the conversation about the weapons," Reif said, adding that the US should also focus on "crisis stability and escalation risks hypersonic weapons could pose."
"Trump is well known for serving up nonsensical word salads, and this was no exception," Reif said.
