jaydz··on CA bill to require all new cars to prevent them from going 10mph over speedlimit
I find right lane driving dangerous. Every week I see drivers slow down or come to a complete stop on the acceleration lane, others are risking it all to make their exit.
jaydz··on Edit: JRE #1555 - Alex Jones is back up at Spotify.
I'm using the web app right now, it's still there.
jaydz··on Universal Basic Income is Capitalism 2.0
Of course it would. Over time UBI would destroy the value of our currency, and those who use the dollar as their reserve currency would get wrecked as well. IMO an Implementation of UBI would require the creation of a new currency.
jaydz··on Justice Department, states likely to bring antitrust lawsuits against Google
Why is it dominant? Is Google is preventing competition from entering the market or is it because Google offers the superior product? Good luck with that in court.
jaydz··on Justice Department, states likely to bring antitrust lawsuits against Google

jaydz··on YouTube’s Algorithm Incentivizes the Wrong Behavior
I'm sure Google and Facebook understand this, hopefully they won't cower any further. Big Media wants its "fair share" and they will keep attacking until they do.
jaydz··on Sign In with Apple [video]
A real email address is too important for businesses. Maybe indies or really small teams will use Apple sign in, but I doubt VC funded apps will.

I think the more likely scenario will be apps removing social logins and implementing their own login logic.

The Times has been on an anti-tech crusade for months now.

The difference is Twitter is willing to remove the "far worse content" while Gab is not.
jaydz··on Twitter bans Alex Jones and Infowars for abusive behaviour

jaydz··on CBS “60 Minutes” piece on Google’s abuse of dominance
Yelp is a trash company, lets not forget how they extorted small businesses for years.
jaydz··on Ecuador spent millions on spy operation for Julian Assange
I doubt Ecuador is doing it for moral reasons. I'd wager Wikileaks has nasty dirt on Ecuador's leadership.
jaydz··on Subscription Hell
Magazine publishers survived because they had subscriber info which allowed targeted advertising (name, age, address, etc).
jaydz··on The Case Against Google
The media has been attacking tech for years. First they attacked startups and their valuations, later the "tech bros," and now Google/Amazon/Facebook. This Scott Galloway fellow seems to be leading the charge.

Has the media has decided for the board? They really must want their Jobs 2.0 story.
jaydz··on Is There a Shortage of STEM Workers?
I'm sure many companies want cheap labor, but other companies cannot find enough of the type of STEM worker they desire.
jaydz··on The adblocking revolution is months away
The web would become a second class citizen on iOS and native apps would be the only way to access content. Those cheering this have not thought this through.
jaydz··on Google stock spikes after reporting better than expected Q2 earnings
I'm hoping Youtube implements a subscription model. I will gladly pay to skip the 15-30 seconds ads on every video.
jaydz··on DoorDash Raises $40M, Led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers
Traditional jobs guarantee a wage for those 8 hours. Most on-demand services guarantee nothing. I'm glad DoorDash at least guarantees an hourly wage in some markets.
