I can’t help but remember Google Glass and the great privacy freakout of 2013.
And no, I’m not talking about Google getting more data from people. I’m talking about the public worried about what the people wearing Google Glass would do with the data.
Google Glass: is it a threat to our privacy?
Seth Godin, writing about ads on Amazon
Search and discovery would work just fine without the ads. Our satisfaction with what we bought would be at least as good if organic search simply highlighted the best match.
Ads on Amazon are no different than ads in the supermarket; buy this instead of that. The Ads have nothing to do with satisfaction.
Yes. I would buy this phone with an updated Android OS.
Pasta and Garlic Toast for Saturday lunch?
Yes, please.
I randomly thought about the time I visited the Getty museum by myself 10 years ago and saw what has become one of my favorite paintings in person.

This is certainly a white collar crime, Startup founder accused of tricking JPMorgan
In a complaint filed on Tuesday, the Department of Justice accuses the fintech founder of “falsely and dramatically inflating” the number of clients her startup served to “fraudulently induce” JPMorgan Chase into acquiring the company.

I’m annoyed by this being added to a word list by the New York times.
What a difference 50 years makes.
That’s a big change to Hong Kong.

A lazy Caturday watching the backyard.
This is the way.
Deserves got nothing to do with it.
It’s not Caturday, but here’s a picture anyway.
Zoe sits where she normally doesn’t sit.
Police, police unions and pro-police organizations will always tell you the answer to crime, as in having less crime, is more police, but that is not the truth. More police leads to more crime because the police have to justify their presence.
Nobody wants more police in their neighborhood. Except the police. They always want more police.

it seems unlikely to me for representatives of the Vatican to be using a knockoff.
Sometimes the internet is awesome.
I find it curious that the rhetoric around competition changes when a company acquires around 50% to 70% of a specific market.
Then, instead of competing, the company is magically abusing it’s leading position in the marketplace to avoid competition.
