. @googlenest keeps asking me to update from a Nest account to a Google account, which I will do as soon as they support @GoogleWorkspace accounts, aka never. 😔

New first for @Uber last Friday: 1 million concurrent trips. That’s more than the entire population of San Francisco using our platform - ⚡at the same time ⚡. There are more than 3,000 processes, AI that helps ensure matching, routing, safety, payments, etc. work flawlessly at scale. V proud of our tech team who effortlessly translates huge digital complexity into real-world convenience for 100s of millions of people around the world 🌎!

@epaley This one never falls out because it is 3 prong and has a small cord. You can plug other chargers into it as a bonus. Small and travel friendly. amazon.com/dp/B09SG359YF

Anyone have a hack for the fact that most power and usb adapters don't work on planes because the adapters constantly fall out of the warn down outlets? There must be some way to make them work consistently.

Super proud of the @Uber team for S&P 500 inclusion. Great way to head into the weekend and get back to building on Monday!
Deirdre Bosa@dee_bosa
its official: Uber has joined the S&P500 banner year: regulatory wins, GAAP profits, trading above IPO price, $100b market cap...S&P inclusion is cherry on top @dkhos tells me: We’re not letting up, and are determined to keep building on our momentum.

1/ Hello from LA 🌞, where I’m meeting with drivers 🚙and couriers 🚗🛒 to announce a new Rider ID feature, changes to our deactivation process, and other app improvements 📲 To be the best platform for flex work, we must be the fairest. Read more here: uber.com/blog/deactivat…

@rakeshlobster @joshpuckett In the early 2000’s the script V and M letters were still considered security features with extensive security protocols for the embossing dies at authorized card printers.
English
@joshpuckett Last time I used one was 2011, but banks have only recently stopped embossing cards.
MC is allowing US banks to deprecate the stripe in 2027.

I wonder if millennials know what the first C in CC means. Or if they've ever seen one.
For Gen X and boomers, remember when state of the art in credit card security was throwing away Cs?

@bgurley FDIC went out of its way to do that for future failures in the financial crisis to prevent further contagion but Indymac was the first so it didn’t get that treatment
English
@bgurley Indymac bank. Depositors lost 50 cents on the dollar above the FDIC limit in 2008. Most of the time the regulators have another bank step in and depositors are made whole but equity and unsecured creditors are wiped out or take a big haircut.

In Mexico you can undo elevator presses; in the states we can’t. Why do you think that is?

Being candid about the incidents that occur on our platform helps make Uber safer. Today we released our second US Safety Report and we encourage others to follow our lead. Uber will continue to invest in safety in the US and around the world. uber.com/us/en/about/re…

Hot off the press, @Uber published its 2nd safety report on safety progress and processes. We applaud Uber’s commitment to transparency and safety. This is a gold standard for corporate responsibility. #endimpaireddriving #saferides uber.com/us/en/about/re…

Had the opportunity to drive a $200k EV recently.
Driver assistance features couldn’t hold a candle to even basic Tesla AP.
Sorry, that’s a minimum bar for me. And, in US, supercharger network is a gigantic moat.

@bgurley It also greatly reduces the value of a stolen appleid which could otherwise be monetized by a fraudulent developer selling in app goods and cashing out quickly. Lower fraud pressure enables lower friction experiences for good users.
English
@bgurley It is true, but I view it as a way of managing developer fraud not a way of generating float. Nearly all credit card chargebacks will have come in by the time they pay out.
English
Is this true? If so that is REAL power.
Ryan Jones@rjonesy
@bgurley Apple pays app developers 45 days after the month end…. Yes, 45. On $150B annually. Now that is float.

@michelletandler That station is always the most expensive in the neighborhood. Sometimes $1+ per gallon more than near by stations.

@Bob_Wachter Any idea why J&J has not released the Ensemble 2 study (2 dose study) initial results? Plenty of time has passed…
English
I addressed this here twitter.com/Bob_Wachter/st… As I said, I wouldn't do anything now except be careful (ie, mask). I'd watch local case rates & Delta prevalence, as well as new research on efficacy of J&J vs Delta, & efficacy of mRNA booster. Pretty low threshold to get mRNA shot.
Daniel Courtney@dcourtneylaw
@Bob_Wachter Hi Dr. Wachter. Thank you for being so generous these past 14+ months on Covid. A question if I may: I received J&J vaccine. Do you have an opinion as to whether those who received J&J vaccine need a booster? Thank you!

Wow - great when data backs up instinct - a new study in JAMA that shows @Uber's impact on reducing drinking and driving. Thank u 🙏🏽 to those who drive with Uber—and all designated drivers—for helping millions get home safely. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

@soychemist Our local fire department recently did a test with the @rachioco API where the fire department can control residential sprinklers to help in a fire.

We need better technology for fighting wildfires.

"We are living through the worst wildfires in recorded history. Over 4.4 million acres have burned across 10 states, 3.3 million in California alone. Sadly, this is potentially just the beginning of an even bigger public health crisis" @linos_eleni ow.ly/JP3X50BCmvv

Some things I expect for this summer and fall:
1. A bananas fire season.
2. Extended power outages.
3. Maybe a malicious internet outage.
4. An uptick in mosquito-borne illness in CA/FL.
