    Facebook is autogenerating pages for white supremacists

    Facebook, like it or not, is an ugly mirror image of unfiltered, social culture. This unfortnately will include good, bad, and ugly stuff. FB - Zuckman and his cronies, need to do a better job of making their platform less appealing to the ugly (but its practicaclly whack-a-mole). I'm not sure...

    Amazon will spend $1 billion per year on NFL’s Thursday Night Football

    Amazon has to spend all those billions they made during the pandemic somewhere.... EDIT: After some thought, I really hope the NFL leaves the RedZone as is. The thought of securing yet another streaming service for that will give me pause.

    Neurons discovered that put mice in a hibernation-like state

    If they can use this to perfect placing people in torpor or another form of suspension, perhaps longer space flights or sleeping through the decades on Earth will be viable.

    Uber accuses Levandowski of fraud, refuses to pay $179M Google judgment

    This. What was Uber buying Otto for at the rate of $600+ million dollars unless it was the stolen IP? It surely was not for just the engineering talent latent in Levandowski. Uber got caught buying stolen technology and wants to pretend they didn't pay all that money for Otto to obtain said...

    1,200 uncomfortable miles in a gorgeous Acura NSX hybrid supercar

    The exhaust pipes are slightly annoying, but unique. The ass-end of the new model appears to be stuck too high up in the air. I will always think of the early 90s versions of the Acura NSX - classic body style.
