My favorite lately is the "wander this unknown neighborhood by taking lefts and rights with stop signs on every corner to save 1 minute" Google map. I'd rather spend that minute on a main road, thanks 🙄
google maps (punching me in the stomach): fastest route is uber
me: but i want to take the subway
google maps (throwing me across the room): 2 buses and a transfer would save 4 minutes
me: i like subway
google maps (kicking me in the head): biking is 45 seconds faster
me: underground choo-choo

i know the sexy and fun thing to do is say you'll punch anyone you see wearing google glasses but even if it's more boring i'd rather people talk more broadly about how to set meaningful expectations of privacy e.g. japan's regulations requiring cell phones make a loud snap when taking a photo

New research found that Instacart is charging shoppers different prices — despite ordering the same items from the same store at the same time.
The price differences could amount to an extra $1,200 a year for the average household of four.

If Donald Trump is the greatest president in the history of ever, why are twenty house republicans about to resign? This is why participation trophies like the one from FIFA are that much more cringe and embarrassing.

I believe strongly anymore that it is the responsibility of every denizen of the Internet to keep it cool, human, and to make it weird wherever possible. The past days of the computer being cool might be behind us, but that doesn't mean that we can't carve out cool niches today, imo

Last month, Denny's was bought out by private equity in a $620 million deal.
Now the company is closing 150 locations.
It's the latest chain to be swallowed by private equity and see numerous workers lose their jobs.

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

We don't need massive SCOTUS reform in the abstract. Fixed terms, some small things. But the problem isn't the Court. It's the justices. These six people are so bad, such enemies of the Constitution, they must be removed or otherwise disempowered even if it means things I'd generally rather not do.
