Next Draft - Cash Test Dummies?
I'm just back from my dropping off my daughter during her high school's hellish morning traffic jam, so I might be a little biased, but I find it hard to believe that computers could be worse drivers than humans. That said, there's no doubt that the self-driving car revolution got a little ahead of itself. In NY Mag (Gift Article), John Herrman argues that Apple's recent exit from car-making business has everything do with the autonomous driving challenge. "Every firm in the race to build a self-driving car was running into the same few real-world obstacles (and, occasionally, other cars), namely unpredictable drivers and wildly diverse environments and road conditions." Apple, Tesla, and the Dying Dream of Self-Driving Cars. 2Zyn Fan DealtThe other day at 7-11, a guy in front of me in line asked if they had any Zyn. The cashier said yes, and the transaction was made. I returned to my car with my sugar-free Vitamin Water Super Big Gulp Slurpee in hand wondering that was all about. It turns out Zyn is a nicotine pouch that you put between your cheek and gum. It's been around for while, but it's starting to go viral — and that means teens are checking it out. Time: Zyn Is the New Vaping. Luckily, I'm too addicted to sugar free frozen products to get addicted to Zyn. 3Houthis and the Grow Wish"The Leader is a man of about 40, with a smooth, youthful face and a thin beard and mustache. In televised speeches, he wears a blazer with a shawl over his shoulders, his dark eyes menacing and humorless. Apart from that, so little is known about him that he might as well be a phantom. He has no birth certificate or passport and is said to have spent his formative years living in caves. No foreign diplomat has ever met him in person. He presides over a starving, brutalized people in northern Yemen and has sent an armada of child soldiers to their deaths. In January, one of his courts condemned nine men to be executed for homosexual behavior—seven by stoning, two by crucifixion. Yet Abdulmalik al-Houthi may now be the most popular public figure in the Middle East." The Houthis are still causing problems. Their leader has been elevated. Their enemies are afraid to speak out. Robert F. Worth in The Atlantic: The Houthis Are Very, Very Pleased. That not enough to get your attention? Try this: Houthis could literally be cutting off the internet. 4Chip Off the Old Flock"Have you noticed that eggs are getting more shell bits into the bowl or pan when you crack them? There's a reason — and it has to do with the same avian-flu outbreak that made eggs so pricey last year. Older hens lay eggs with thinner shells, leading to more shell bits when you crack them." It's not just you. Eggshells really are chipping more. 5Extra, ExtraStupor Tuesday: Yes, it's Super Tuesday. But you don't need me to tell you that. You know it because of the breathless headlines that focus only on the race and ignore the issues and the stakes. You know it because it's Super Spam Tuesday in your messages and email. And if you didn't know it because of that, you know it because Taylor Swift told you. 6Bottom of the News"The world’s biggest fitness app is making it possible for people to back up their talk with some cold hard numbers. That’s right: Strava for dogs is here. Owners can now show off their canine companion’s athletic feats on the same platform they do their own accomplishments." Yes, Strava for Dogs Is Now a Real Thing. If someone on the East Coast will put a small piece of chicken jerky on their front porch, I'll let my beagles off leash and they'll dominate this competition. Thanks, Dave Pell, Duke of URL |
