Still feels weird without Ken Block.

Well it’s the New York post which is basically a tabloid.

For me, it’s really two things. The first, the app is a bloated mess. Between videos, podcasts, and just tons of promotions, it’s become a chore to just open up the app and start playing music. Secondly, it’s just been getting expensive honestly. Annual price increases are crazy to me when the service is getting worse. Their lossless roleout was also a let down between delays and lower quality than competing services.

Nearly fainted because I thought this was a new “iphone nano” phone, but alas it’s just an insanely overpriced case strap.

I was interested in what the cheapest new car was in the US, and apparently you can get a Nissan Versa brand new for just over $18,000. I would love to know how many cars are available below that $50k average sold price. There were even some SUVs under 20k, but as the article stated, it’s mostly rich people throwing off these stats.

This is basically the plot to Alien Earth.

Who asked for this? So much for user led design.

There are privacy preserving biometrics, as well as ways to determine age without breaching privacy or requiring identity, but you’re right none of the big platforms are using those methods.

Saw what you will about blue laws, but this os a great example of “laws are only worth a damn if we’re willing to enforce them.”

I loved him in Home Movies as the bully.

Reading the article, the defendant requested his phone from a detective, unlocked it in front of and with the knowledge the detective was watching. Later when the detective was inspecting the phone, he used the password he had seen the defendant use previously to unlock the phone. So it’s not as bad as a cop forcing you to unlock the phone. Good to know that in New Jersey police departments are considered public spaces and treat them accordingly.

This tracks as shelbyville always advocated for cousin marriage, leading to the eventual rift with Jebediah Springfield.

This is somehow more cringe than when Tim Cook waved the checkered flag at the Austin formula 1 race.

Crypto gambling, ftfy :)

Until it has contextual ads right in the bar it’s worthless to me.

Fwiw a lot of late stage CEOs even of big companies are way less rich than you’d think. Jim Farleys net worth is 21 million dollars. Still very very rich, but not billionaire rich.

Not making a judgement call on “orb” (which I assume is using some privacy preserving biometrics but honestly not sure), but why not leverage mobile devices? It seems like a lot of extra steps to use dedicated hardware for something like this.

Worth noting (and mentioned several paragraphs in to the article) he is running for mayor in the democratic primary.
