And the U.S. wants to hold the high moral ground on access to data of foreign citizens too. What an outrage, but par for the course with the current pro-biz FTC we have installed now. If it’s good for business, f**k the people 😆
Douglas Farrar@DouglasLFarrar

The FTC just settled with OkCupid and Match Group for secretly handing nearly 3 million users' dating profile photos and location data to Clarifai, a company that builds facial recognition software(!!!). The penalty? A promise not to do it again.

How’s this working out for California, @CAgovernor? Probably as well as an avg. gasoline price of $6/gal. (much more in some parts). On the bright side, EV sales are down and they’re about to lay the tracks so they can begin laying the tracks for the bullet train 🤣

OPINION: California’s last remaining nuclear facility, scheduled to be shuttered in four years, provides 17% of California’s clean, carbon-free electricity. sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

He’s so brave 🤣. Low hanging fruit compared to the Nancy Pelosi stock scandal. I guess prediction markets are easier to take on than Wall Street, and the money the politicos are making is “too big to fail” 😆
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor

I’m signing an executive order banning California state officials from using insider information to place bets, including in prediction markets. We will not tolerate this kind of corruption in California.

@pelositracker @CAgovernor Don’t be a Scooby-doo episode making one of the “…and I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those meddling kids” comments 🤣

sometimes i wonder how much science goes into people like @mzjacobson’s analysis, since the stuff they’re proposing doesn’t pass the basic physics & chemistry test. here’s an example of that from someone who’s not even adverse of various energy sources: open.substack.com/pub/rogerpielk…

This is only the beginning. And it won’t just be billionaires leaving since everyone knows CA can’t help itself & will quickly move down the income levels. Funny, they wouldn’t need to do any of this if they clamped down on the corruption driving tax $s into scammers’ hands 🤦🏽‍♂️
Paul Graham@paulg

Larry Page is gone. He wasn't just pretending to move to Florida. He has moved. The proposed wealth tax hasn't even passed, and already it has cost California both Larry's presence and all the tax revenue it made from him.

Indeed. Been sharing safe words & codes w/my family in case they get a call fm “me” w/an odd request. That we have to do this w/our family & friends shows just how far trust is disintegrating. open.substack.com/pub/garymarcus…

As someone living in California, you can’t hate @CAgovernor Gavin Newsom enough. The ironies of the NIMBY pseudo environmental positions leading to higher costs with no environmental benefits since it’s energy production has simply been outsourced. 🤦🏽😡 open.substack.com/pub/doomberg/p…

sometimes music you might not like has redeeming value in the lyrics, but Bad Bunny is making this impossible to connect with. Whoever chose him as the half-time entertainer should lose their job immediately.

@SenMarkey 8000 miles away or 2 miles away, who cares? Do you think operators even in the same city would be walking outside to go check out the situation? They would be using telemetry apps just like drone pilots. Unless of course, the Philippines decides to wage a war against the U.S.
