Yes...auto-correct failed me there.

This thing is extremely divisive on VC twitter: https://twitter.com/benedictevans/status/1330889261479043075...

What's the marketing angle for Snappr here?

I'm surprised it took so long for rideshare companies to launch this feature (Lyft's version will be unveiled in December).

I've always marveled that The New York Times can know exactly how many free articles I've consumed across different apps/entry points, but cannot ever keep me logged in.

What is Facebook going to do about GDPR?

Immediate reaction: what prevents the social media players to cut off your source of data and just do this themselves?

Pretty interesting deep dive on what he did at Expedia: https://skift.com/history-of-online-travel/

Also highly relevant is Aldous Huxley's Brave New World: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World

1B gifs served per day and 100 DAU.

Anyone have a guess at a business model to monetize on that sort of traffic?

Seems like there is an opportunity for a company to be the certification layer verifying companies do these things and do them in a consistent way.

Can't recall ever seeing the NY Times embed tweets in a story, is this a first?

edit: apparently it's because I mostly read the site within the app.

If you are wondering why:

"A statement provided to us Friday from the Panama Canal Authority said that a high level of arrivals during the last in September coincided with schedule dry-chamber maintenance."

TL;DR - Do pushups on the floor.

60 projectors at 26,000 watts each were synchronized to create a single seamless image with a resolution of 4592 x 2048 pixels on a 420,000 square foot surface. Wow.

These are cool, but seems like in cases where you want to blur something out on an image you should do so in photoshop on the actual image and not with css. Otherwise someone could just use element inspector to delete the blur effect.

Concurrence by Judge Sack: https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/clap...

Here's what struck me as the most interesting comment from Sack - "Considering the issue of advocacy in the context of deliberations involving alleged state secrets, and, more broadly, the ʺleakʺ by Edward Snowden that led to this litigation, calls to mind the disclosures by Daniel Ellsberg that gave rise to the legendary ʺPentagon Papersʺ litigation."

1.75 billion customers last year which is a 2.6% increase. It would be helpful to have the context of how much of the city's population has used the system over time. A quick google search makes me think this increase is far outpacing the population increases in the city.

Confusing UI, that makes sense I suppose. But why is the logo using Google's colors?

If only iOS updates worked the same way.

edit: over wifi is fine, was more referring to the incredibly slow downloads I experience the moment and iOS update comes out vs a few days later.

I get that incentives are misaligned between involved parties (VC's, founders, employees), but it seems very disingenuous to knowingly withhold this information.

Seems to me (as a startup employee) that downside protection and liquidation preferences should be required to be disclosed to all previous stakeholders (employees, prior investors, etc.).

Offering to pay $415M, up from original offer of $324M which a judge rejected.

I saw "uber for movers" the other day, struck me as a good idea. (http://lu.gg)

Interesting takeaway for me is that a possible "exit" for a consulting company is becoming the in-house group for large corporation. Hadn't considered that before, but it makes perfect sense.

From the article:

"A team of Snapchat curators will stitch together photos and videos from the app’s users at celebrations in Dubai, New York City, St. Petersburg, Russia, and other posts around the world to create a documentarylike view of how people are experiencing New Year’s Eve. (The photos and videos will be included only if users give their permission.)"

Anyone know more about how this works? I'd be curious about the process behind sifting through all that content, seems like it would be really tough to find good stuff and turn it around as quickly as they do.

Here's his response to the leak: https://twitter.com/evanspiegel/status/545308400829997056

Can someone provide details on pricing?
