The Most Inevitable and Finally This Was There Was a Feel-Good Story and It Was All Over the Place

I want to tell you about Mr. Carson, who was at a sporting event where he held up a sign that said "need more Bush Light". He had a Venmo account with the username "bushlight22" on it, which is unusual because nobody would just send money to a random stranger through the internet. However, Mr. Carson claimed that the money he received went towards buying one case of Bush Light beer. It's worth noting that having a truckload of money sent to him without any intention of returning it was definitely an unusual situation.

Despite this, what's even more remarkable is that Mr. Carson decided to give most of the money to a Children's Hospital instead of keeping it for himself. He didn't have to do that, and he could have easily kept the money as it was legally his. This act of selflessness has made him an Iowa legend, and he was set to get featured on the can of Busch beer, which came with free beer for life. However, this opportunity is no longer available for Mr. Carson.

A Reporter Dug Deep into Mr. Carson's Twitter Past

When a reporter from the news team dug deeper into Mr. Carson's Twitter past, they found out that he had made some offensive tweets in the past. One of his tweets was about an end, but it's unclear what exactly he said. What is certain is that it was an insult directed at another user, and it was posted six years ago when Mr. Carson was 18 years old.

The Reporter Was Fired Due to His Twitter Past

Despite making amends by giving the money to the Children's Hospital, the reporter who dug into Mr. Carson's Twitter past found more evidence of similar tweets made in the past. The reporter had a history of posting offensive content on Twitter, which eventually led to their termination.

People Outraged Over the Reporter's Twitter Past

When people learned about the reporter's Twitter past, they were outraged because he was doing something kind and selfless by giving money to the Children's Hospital. They felt that he should not have been digging into Mr. Carson's past if it wasn't related to the story.

The Internet Found More Offense in the Reporter's Past

However, the reporter's Twitter past wasn't just about his tweets on Bush Light or any other topic of discussion. He had also made some offensive statements that were unrelated to Mr. Carson's tweet. The reason behind this is unclear, but it seems like he was digging deep into someone else's glass house without a clear purpose.

The Internet Wins Again

When people started searching for information about the reporter, they found out more about his Twitter past. It appears that he had made some statements that could be considered racist or hateful, which led to his termination from the news team. The incident is a reminder of how the internet can uncover sensitive and often hurtful content when digging deep into someone's past.

A Lesson Learned About Twitter

For those who use Twitter, this story serves as a warning about what can happen when you post something without thinking or knowing the context. Even if we don't realize it at the time, our words on social media can have far-reaching consequences that may affect others in ways we never intended.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello today's October 2nd day two of the skeleton war tell us below how you're thriving in the skeleton where we all have skeletons inside of us spooky spooky season trying to escape at all times I think today's how it's supposed to be 95 yeah you know what it is the fall colors are really coming out and my lawn remember we talked about the Google contractors they were unhappy they felt like they were not treated like real people like the regular Google people but they were doing the same work and they had to live in these little nondescript buildings on the edge of town where ambulances wouldn't even come to well they've decided they've had enough Google contractors officially vote to unionize it was like two-thirds the contractors working a company called HCl which strongly encouraged its employees to vote against the Union so yeah the the the interesting thing here is that the people have voted for and against the Union the thought that they did not have a comparable compensation or benefits package to regular Google employees despite doing the same work they have to you know Google employees have a blue badge these guys have a red badge would you say it's a Red Badge of Courage that they voted to unionize yeah it's the Steel Workers Union which what parallel is there between a steel worker and a Google contractor I don't know slinging codes feeling pretty blue-collar these days so I don't know mm-hmm I think the steel workers would disagree they probably would and rightfully so anyway I know I come home exhausted after sitting at my desk all day it's a different kind of exhaustion our sewer yeah yeah Galaxy fold now I thought when we covered this last week I thought this was out it's not it's coming out and knocked we're fourth or something I think right but reviewers and influencers and the like I've gotten theirs and the guy at TechCrunch has some bad news my galaxy fold display is damaged after a day it's a bright spot it's a bright spot right in the middle of the display right where the fault is with the if it had a different background other than the butterfly yeah easier to tell that's right there yeah that's close he said that uh same picture for analysis and they're looking at it they think that it had excessive force during clothes and that's what cost that cuz you push that's where the hinge is and he said the documentation did warn heavily gets bristling too hard but let's face it how is that not inevitable during the course of using your phone if you pre-ordered pre-order kilcher bad bad idea see if you can cancel because it seems like they have not worked it out it's still it's not something that's the real question just like what's the demand for this whoo what's this TechCrunch editors yeah yeah so oh man I got these out of order now you might think galaxy fold its here's the demand it's just it's the it's the very edge of phone technology it's the coolest thing that's out there it's the edgiest and I want to get the coolest thing that's out there cuz I'm that person I need it because it's just amazing and there's nothing better and I'm gonna destroy your world right now because there is something that's so incredible and so over-the-top and so much more fragile that you're gonna just eat your heart out for it so Me's mimics alpha is almost entirely made of screen so for one thin bar down the back of the phone I guess that's the back the entire thing is a screen it's a wraparound screen I think this thing sort of defies the definition of front back I I don't really see the point of this either but it does look amazing and every like demo I've seen everything better if you told me that that thing wouldn't be completely destroyed in my pocket in a week and that the battery lasted more than 20 minutes I would definitely want that phone look at that that's fantastic look why it's just it's just so cool I mean it looks amazing is but yeah how does it I'd still rather have a keyboard well he ordered one with the keyboard didn't you want oh it's been delayed oh you had a crack in your other one yeah are you replaced it looks like yeah it was only 30 bucks so I figured why not replace the screen so this thing and they're not gonna mass-produce it they are gonna make some of them probably real expensive but it's gonna be a limited run and I'm sure they will be dead in a year let's probably how they should have done the fold it's like you can only do this if you you're wearing you know an Armani suit as part of your regular like day-to-day business regimen where you put it in the silk pocket whenever you're not using it or purse oh yeah yeah it's just there's no there's no way that could work there are some purses that have like the little felt pocket marker soft a company that's well known for being on the forefront of protecting your data that's anonymous we can't keep a straight face protecting the consumer when it comes dilemma tree and data harvesting and good news they've got a new team Microsoft's new dated dignity team could help users control their personal data it could it's probably the operative work here you go on to read and it says like this team is going to try to come up with a way to help people control how their data is monetized is what they mean to say but then they reveal some of the details about how it works and it just seems really dystopian like one of the things they want to offer consumers is the ability to buy their own data and it's like wait by what now what don't think about that too hard it's like when the government grants you freedoms yeah yeah exactly it's like wait no it's like I'm going to buy I'm going to is a emancipation I'm gonna buy my you know buy my freedom I thought I already had one of those ah the back in the old days and the time before memory and recorded history you could jailbreak your iPhone you could actually control this very expensive piece of technology that you bought you can do what you want with it what a radical concept that was we were living with the Stone Age but now thanks to one enterprising individual we're back there alternative iOS app store doesn't require a jailbreak the all store will even include its own Nintendo emulator this is gonna get shut down by Apple so hard by next week legally you mean right no I don't think legally I mean the I think they're gonna shut down a functionality that he's using cuz but it's the it's the chip no no that's uh oh ye well no this one is the one that doesn't require a jailbreak we've got a security story coming about the jailbreak well this is not that they have actually in the newest chip I think they fixed this this is for these you'll never be able to fix it no no this is not that story this story is about a dude that made a version like so Apple has oh you're right you're right yeah this has the side loading thing oh it doesn't require jailbreak I'm getting these confused so this is just the you're basically using your developer mode and tricking it and it's in that mode you got to Reese on every seven days but there's a feature of iTunes that lets you do that over the network so as long as you're home once a week it'll reset and update your applications transparently in the background so you can run homebrew applications and it's totally fine that they'll never expire or be weird so in other words there's gonna be a lot more hoops to jump through to develop for iPhones pretty soon yeah which is unfortunate so sad man I'm really sad that we didn't put those two stories together it was that in well security I mean if you peel back the linoleum a little bit more on that story you know how like the new iOS 13 has all the privacy stuff it's like this applications using your location and this applications doing this and blah blah a lot of the reason for having that walled garden goes away because people have better tools to see what an application is doing exactly so I think that Apple making their device more transparent is - like what the applications do is less of an argument in favor of them having a walled garden like it is safe enough it is safe enough that you can run you know third-party applications in a sandbox without having to have Apple review them and so that is hopefully in the monopoly investigation that's gonna come soon for Apple that's gonna be a thing alright but that has nothing to do with the reason if they're doing that no it's you mean like they're doing it because they want control and money yeah yeah but there's side effects there's always side effects yeah the side effect is money and they like it speaking of which that brings us to our next story this one yeah I don't follow Donald Trump on Twitter but I bet he took a little victory lap on this when that did he I don't know I didn't see but yeah this is the whole like you know bringing manufacturing back to America although there's like 60 asterisks after this there's 20 pages of footnotes Apple will manufacture its new Mac Pro in Texas and my manufacturer we mean assemble they're doing some of the aluminum work there I guess and then they're putting the parts together they've got 10 of the 15 major components of the Mac Pro exempted from tariffs so that will be a cost savings of course this cost will not be passed on to you the consumer you can still be expected to pay 6 to $50,000 for the Apple Mac Pro configuration thousand dollars is a small price to pay you know more than my education what is the profit margin of your business if you can afford $50,000 computers for your employees well it's all venture capital there's no profit doesn't matter I mean I'm thinking like television producers and ad agencies and crap like that it's like you know if you can buy your people computers that expensive how much money I was thinking like Saudi princes well the good news is most people don't spend 60 or $6,000 on a crappy old out-of-date computer so this manufacturing plant won't have to work that hard yeah and I think that's the that's the big lie here is that it's like apples bringing manufacturing back to America so this is an incredibly niche product with an incredibly narrow market and they're not going to make millions of these if they are just I weep for the future of humanity a big boost of the economy I want everybody flying it - six thousand dollar computer all at once ah remember that time that chrome said you know what we're gonna disable ad blockers for security and the backlash was instant and savage so much so that they said okay fine we won't do it please please just leave us alone we didn't mean it but meanwhile secretly secret maybe because nobody cared somebody else was doing the exact same thing Apple neutered ad blockers in Safari but unlike Chrome the users didn't say a thing and so you dive into this and this article headline is actually technically perfectly accurate like Apple has done a lot of stuff to a lot of the same stuff that the chrome engine team like the WebKit team was adopting for their thing and no one cared maybe it's cuz nobody uses Safari anymore well nobody sorry the sophistication level of your average Safari user is so such a net low that they probably don't even understand ad blockers ya installed that block on my mom's machine she was blown away yeah or if the ad blockers stopped working maybe they just didn't even do even put it together in red oh there's suddenly a lot more ads what's happening I'm so popular something's wrong with my phone it goes so much slower now can you look at it I was 13 added a lot of a lot of there's there are now like if you don't follow Apple and safaris rules the ad telemetry is gonna be blocked but you're still probably downloading it you know a giant animated gifs or or movie or whatever talk about the dystopian monitoring of the cameras and all you know your phone is monitoring in so many ways there's I don't think I put a story in here about it but there was the whole like Ono is in that Apple story I get what we're gonna do later about the apps turn on Bluetooth and it's like wait a minute the app doesn't need Bluetooth that should be through the phone's speaker system while it's tracking so everything is tracking us but sometimes is it a good thing yeah it's hard when something like this happens it's hard to say that it's bad but it's bad right well this is like the slimmest use case Spokane man credits Apple watch was saving his father's life after a bike crash and apparently it was a pretty nasty bike crash he hit his head he was unconscious until he woke up in the the ambulance ride on the way back so he crashed and his his Apple watch was like oh you've taken a hard fall are you okay and when he didn't respond it dialed 9-1-1 and sent the dispatch his exact GPS location and also sent his son his that message in his exact GPS location and then when he made it to the hospital it's like oh by the way my location has changed and it was like the hospital so his son knew right where to find him and you know from from head injury to at the hospital because the paramedics was under 30 minutes which is genuinely very impressive well yeah plus he was out in the woods yeah yeah like outdoor biking so that's a good story but it is also terrifying what if you get in a rumble with your street gang and as I often do you get a mule and a really good hit and it's enough g-force to set off that watch and all of a sudden the cops are on the way let's go for the watch first so it does ask you it's like I detected a hard fall are you okay but you're busy grappling oh yeah so you've never been in a street fight hey hey TechCrunch I hate that X gets me every time Amazon they are rapidly developing surveillance to go everywhere it's gonna be you're gonna wear it it's gonna be in your house it's gonna be on the streets gonna be on the police cameras that are hanging off of telephone poles can be in your glasses and in your jewelry and how do you connect all that together well they've got an answer for that too Amazon sidewalk sidewalk is the new long-range wireless network for your stuff it's low speed it operates on the 900 megahertz spectrum so if you have anything using that an unlicensed 900 megahertz band it's about to get a whole lot worse fare warming but this is really designed for like they had an example of like a pet collar there's like a dog it's like where's the dog go and it's like okay this thing this thing can be found but also tracking things and communicating with things over relatively short distances so it could go up to a mile but really I just want better range than Wi-Fi and they don't really care about throughput like you don't need as much you know like data transfer as you get with Wi-Fi or even 4G or 5g so the circuits here are very simple they're inexpensive to implement and they will be ubiquitous average time Crysta for rude to get that hung up on something and choke herself out she's actually never done that with her collar but she would probably try to chew it well ruin it like she could get her mouth down there but they could definitely get caught on something she's got a bandana on right now and she's been trying to get it off but she can't it says I'm ready to cut along did she join the Crips no she yeah we took it yesterday if you want to see that check out twisted Krista's Twitter I haven't posted a picture but I will after this oh what a terrible owner from their point of view who will have been in the past that's true Wow I've already done that should I put this story right after the other one but well we're still in the Amazon blog counts foreshadowing and like we say you're gonna be wearing a Lexus soon and I'm not I don't mean Alexa is a fashion designer and you're wearing no no Alexa the assistant you will be wear Amazon to sell limited-edition Alexa equipped glasses and ring I weep for the future of humanity like I don't do people find this genuinely useful is this useful Alexa who's the fairest of them all I mean really like why why is it like I'm why well you think battery life is on that thing depends on how much you talk but but it's always listening they probably got that that's probably unlike a grain of rice sized you know piece of silicon at this point so that probably works for you know days or years but more importantly it's picking up if you're listening to a radio station or if you're near your TV if you're in a supermarket and it's playing their sound system it's like oh I know where you are literally building a map of your entire life yep you're at Kroger and your heart rates increased turns out that this data will be used to replace you with an algorithm did you see a wacky inflatable tube man cause you want me to order that it would be funny if like as a result of us talking about that or us talking about that on the news for other people people start to see ads for that there is a good costume but right what do you think the wacky inflatable - people have bought a lot of online ads yeah well you know what would really talk me into buying the wacky inflatable tube and costume is if samuel l.jackson tries to talk me into it this is it's become such a mean that now just I'm kind of angry at it but it's finding way to profit you can't hey I wonder what they paid for this right oh oh oh it turns out Amazon's Alexa will soon add the samuel l.jackson voice according to this article from Mashable yeah so they didn't have him record a bunch of lines they literally modeled his voice so that it can respond any which way from now until the end of time a samuel l.jackson samuel l.jackson is now literally immortal and will live on forever in the Amazon Cloud oh yeah they'll like watch some classic movie I like that's Alexa yeah you can get it with and without expletives yeah oh yeah I think we've really gotta do like as long as the Dick Van Dyke is still alive and some of those guys we need to get them to model that with those guys while they're still alive do we though what's the what's the intersection of people who use that suite of products and who also would know that voice Dick Van Dyke he's a brilliant brilliant man you know what they've never found anything me too about Dick Van Dyke everything mm-hmm I'm telling you he's like the original you know there's nothing he's never done anything wrong ever did that British accent no there has been some controversy in his life but it's basically fine I mean he was just bad at it oh Tesla a few things that are bad at things Tesla had a big update and it wasn't all that exciting some of the smaller things they announced and I like how they did a press release for this it's like you can play cuphead and your Tesla and then you can watch Netflix while you're not driving your car and but the big one is of course summon mode Tesla just released a big software update that allows its cars to drive themselves in parking lots so you come out of the mall you hit the button and your Tesla will pick you up problem is through our videos on the internet that have surfaced of people using the new summon mode and the Tesla's aren't doing a great job about checking for oncoming traffic in the traffic lanes in the parking lots also this is gonna be not married because there's gonna be a big line of Tesla's in the fire lane and they're just gonna be blocking everything yeah I hate people to park in the fire lane I do too is someone who used to have to push carts cuz the fire lane also we had to go across with the carts to get them up into the corrals there's no excuse I don't care if you're old and you need to be let out of the car don't do in the fire lane I'm sorry but it's not for you it's for fires something's making noise of course you don't oh I can I can definitely see the desktop audio vu meter just going nuts new senses are dulled crystal we've confirmed that no I mean I can't see I can hear this fine it's from the devil's lettuce remember when we used to talk about Facebook and their facial recognition and tagging and that was bad people didn't like it and they sued them well it turns out they're not the only people who've done such a thing Vimeo sued for storing face prints of people without their say-so they've been sued the article goes on to describe it the lawsuit is like why are you doing this how long do you keep it for what purpose is it they haven't done I haven't said any of that they know that they're doing it because videos can get tagged if they contain people and Vimeo news who knows who they are so this is the same people that follow to a lawsuit against Facebook now I think it's the same people but it's Illinois okay which is the one state that has facial recognition laws or one of the first I think some other ones have adopted it and this is a little bit more complicated too it's not so you're thinking wait a minute why does Vimeo have my face information well they had some other software my camera what the name it was that they acquired and that software has your facial Magisto I don't know what Magisto does it's a video creation platform so somehow through that it gets your information and matches your face well Vimeo took that in and now I guess he's using it on Vimeo so if it knew those people it starts using it anyway whatever they're doing it's illegal in Illinois so neat it's time for a class action it's time to be satire this tab that's making cram - wait it's just the same story that we've already done no no no no seed like these yeah yeah yeah these new sites once you've leave a tab open for so long they just autoplay drive up their hits they start like loading other content in so advertisers are like oh yeah your sounds really popular a lot of you might not know that broadcast television the word being broad there that's the word that tips it off is actually free you don't have to pay for it now if you have DirecTV or you know a cable package you are paying a little bit for it because a lot of those places made the argument hey you're making money cable companies and satellite companies off of our content so you need to pay us to rebroadcast it but she's just using that antenna it's totally free it has to be it's part of their licensing so a certain enterprising individual said well if it's free over a antenna over the airwaves why not free over the internet right and he started a company and guess how they reacted low-caste a free streaming service Sue's ABC CBS NBC and Fox I don't know how this is going to turn out because this so far is the same story as arrow the only difference is the low caste is a non-profit and arrow was for-profit but it should be not illegal for someone to rent a box that has an antenna and then receive signals from that antenna if it's like rebroadcast over the internet that should be okay but I think the nonprofit is the difference like that's the because things like DirecTV do have to pay them rebroadcast fees which is new like when cable the cable TV industry was NASA nascent I don't know I'd always say it wrong like a long time ago we'd never sell that yeah it was it was a long time ago when it was you know like coast to coast and it's the big antenna repeater things and then there were just people who lived out in vfe that just couldn't get a good signal for whatever reason the cable companies argued successfully that they shouldn't have to pay anything to the broadcaster's and that's no longer true they got the law passed that way but there is still a loophole for nonprofits it well but it's not defined yeah so it's understood that yes you can do this with an antenna but they're saying that that does not include broadcasting over the Internet yeah so effectively there would be no way to do that in other words like it's like oh this is the thing you can do except there's no way to actually do it in reality that that's the disingenuous lie so we'll see turns out not a lot of people use that but he's suing that's probably not a bad deal if it's a non-profit he can pay himself a salary from that yeah and probably make a nice little living well arrow was it was quite a profitable organization so imagine a non-profit version of arrow it would take over the universe arrow was a very popular company with a lot of subscribers uh let's see Nintendo Microsoft and the latest being Apple have all released subscription gaming services the world is being flushed toward subscription gaming I don't know how to feel about it but it's where we're going and now we have yet another company that's doing the same thing Google Play past bundles 350 android games and apps for $5 a month no ads no in-app purchases and a introductory you one dollar and 99 cent price I'm still not tempted to do no I don't play mobile games to make that worth it like that's 350 apps 325 of them are candy crush clones Krista use the iPad a lot does the $5 a month Apple thing tempt you in any way no but that one's just games this one's games and apps which is interesting hmm if I really want an app flick on the iPad Oh once you have to read like 200 reviews of it and then I purchase it well I think about like the the length of time that I've had an Android phone if I had been paying $5 a month the number of applications that I can afford and that is a staggeringly large number of applications yeah well I don't know I just I don't download apps tray often like plus the security implications of apps you know are just terrible and I don't believe they're gonna vet them on the Google Play Store I mean you guys know how addicted to Twitter I am and I will not install the Twitter app so and Twitter's actually taking steps to neuter all of the other privacy respecting apps to let you have a more coherent interface than the web interface for Twitter so I just suffer now it's a terrible cross the nightmare yes Twitter for desktop city or just not used to winter on my phone uh-huh New York Stock Exchange they have launched something that could not have come at a worse time they've launched the long-awaited Bitcoin futures I don't there's there's a lot of words here there's not a lot of article I don't know what more to tell you is there you know they don't even have a photo of a fake Bitcoin here how am I supposed to know Wall Street Journal just hang it up surely it's not a coincidence that they launched this and then Bitcoin immediately went to eight grand so there is one big difference and I can't remember which is which and we're paywall so I can't scroll down but the Chicago Mercantile Exchange also has a Bitcoin future it's not the same one of them is settled in bitcoins actual delivery and one of them was settled in cash now that is huge and it if this is the cash settled one which I think it is it could actually explain the the drop in price because what you can do if you had an unlimited amount of money Federal Reserve and you wanted to destroy the price of a commodity in a cash-settled futures exchange you could sell futures like crazy lose money and settle in cash because you don't actually have to buy the Bitcoin to deliver to the counterparty mm-hmm that might be why conspiracy hats on it's Winkle vie you've been challenged you need to rise to the challenge and offset to think as they own like almost all the big can we not really but kind of a lot moving on to social media we learned about Instagram and amazingly they figured out that when you monetize human interaction and the form of likes it creates a terrible terrible dystopian future and so they said maybe we'll get rid of that and some other people are jumping on that bandwagon Facebook will test hiding likes on its own site this is an Australia so if you're upside down right now check your Facebook so uh no more likes where is the I don't even know enough about Facebook's it's usually underneath the photo of the thing they shared it'll show you have any life they've got well isn't this a before-and-after I assume so but it looks like there's like send both of them or you can still like so the the function is still there and you as the poster can still see the light count it's other people looking at it you can it yeah I wonder if that increases or decreases engagement I wonder if somebody's working on a Facebook app to scrape that like feature and print it somewhere on the page I saw at Google this is kind of related it's a little bit of a ramble but uh I saw a Google product opinions survey and one of the questions was like I've missed my regular bedtime because of watching YouTube videos and like strongly agree strongly disagree and then the next question was like I've you know had trouble with like my homework or other or work or school or something because of my youtube consumption habit and it's like whoa it's Google being a little introspective here is the AI like mmm maybe I maybe I've become too good at making people do things maybe I should scale back just seemed like there was a little bit of self reflection in those survey questions this story is out of order it's in the Facebook block but I'm not gonna bother to rearrange it know just pretend that we're still in the Facebook block for having a small commercial break the YouTube CEO Susan last thing that I never can't pronounce you got pretty close before I think when you try to say it was easy which is what you keep I just want to listen to him suffer YouTube lady says that you know we've got they they they released their Terms of Service they're trying to be more transparent and tell us why they're do monetizing all our videos and not sharing them and a lot of people immediately pointed out they're like hey here's 20 videos that violate exactly what you're talking about and they're all from you know Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump and so she has made an official statement about that a politicians can break our own content rules she says and the article goes on to explain in a lot more words that they're like well sometimes it's very important that they get their message out to their constituents and bla bla bla news which means it's click worthy which means YouTube gets more traffic it doesn't really like the lie of YouTube is that it is some sort of egalitarian place like if you make good content and you do something interesting that it will be shared and it will be good on its own merit if you're a politician you can make absolute swill and drivel and the platform will happily push that out is basically what they've admitted to which is what people have suspected all along but they have not come right out and said don't forget to like this video speaking of swill don't get to waste you're like oh remember that time that Facebook bought that popular company and ruined it no no not that one that you're thinking of the one before that no no the third one after the other one what about the one where they literally forced out the inventor of the technology into another company it's like that except that part hasn't happened yet but they've done it again Facebook buys a start-up for building a neural monitoring armband so if you haven't seen the videos of this you totally should this is like control Labs or control media or yet control labs a new york-based start-up like you just wear this like you can wear it on your wrist and it will monitor your arm movements but like one of their demos it almost seems like you have telekinesis because like you can imagine moving your hand to like reach out for a block or whatever and it knows like it learns very very quickly so Facebook is thinking this plus VR is going to be the interface in the future not looking forward to that future the the company had raised 67 million and venture capital to get as far as they did they don't then tell us exactly what they paid for it but a lot of the market observers estimated between 500 million and a billion so somebody made a couple of cents there that's congratulations control labs guy or girl could be girl snap-snap is one of those companies that Facebook decided they needed to own right and that it's gonna be snapped by Facebook so they've actually gone as far as to inject their disgusting brand onto it and it turned out that while this was going on snap recognized what was happening she recorded it snaps Project Voldemort dossier detailed Facebook's copycat moves Kristen do you have any idea why they named it that oh yeah I have not been able to figure out like when we first we're talking about this story project golden well yeah isn't he a villain in gadgets villain but I mean that could have been any like I don't know why they picked Voldemort and not their subheading says it's the social network that must not be named and it's like that just made me more confused well that's that's a nickname for Voldemort but like is that the only connection is that it's like the social network not to be named I don't so i guess basically snap was having meetings with facebook executives and it was literally like this is the amount of money that we're willing to give you because that's the amount of money it would cost us to add your features to our platform so take it or leave it and if you don't take it we are just gonna steal the features straight-up just doing it and you can't stop us and that's what they kept track of that seems a little anti-competitive like that seems like FTC like the FTC would look at that and be like what are you doing they also went so far as to say that they caught instances of Facebook telling people to use Facebook platform platform like influencers don't use snap links or we're gonna take away your verified status which if true and per mobile is going to be an antitrust violation I think that was Instagram oh yeah yeah another acquisition look like your birds not sucker sucker pwned Facebook we all know that there was the whole election meddling thing and there's the whole buying of ads and oh it's just it's on and on and on but we also know that in some of the less democratic parts of the world that the powers that be used Facebook very heavily and someone decided to look at it and say when it comes to fake news who is the worst you know Mirror Mirror yeah and guess who's number one it's not gonna surprise you Facebook is the most popular social network for governments spreading fake news and propaganda so yeah I mean if you're you know despotic or just a bad person running for a mayoral race and like a third-rate US city you look at something like Facebook and it's like wow you mean that I've got a tool here where I can target the people in my area and just make up some random thing and you know make up some random thing about my opponent and you know spread like wildfire yeah it's like I can go to Walmart and get a gift card credit card and sign up for a thing and just run that ad and this is the most amazing thing ever it's gonna drive people into a frenzy they're gonna be so bent out of shape they're not gonna be thinking straight did you know that here in the good old US of a land of the free we have protection in law against propaganda from our government until 2012 that's fantastic news for pastors can we put that back how do we put that back can we run on a platform of putting that back it's like I just want to put that back nothing else there's no other start there but good lord so we talked about Facebook and their magic VR world and their brain scanning technology and you might think that's gonna be an amazing future but when you look at what the actual plan is for that VR world it looks a little underwhelming Facebook to create a VR world called horizon this does not look in the least bit appealing BBC has some screenshots of this I don't know I think it was a slow news day - BBC to be honest I wonder if like there's the art team for this originally had like some really amazing ideas but it became one of those things it's like well it needs to appeal to this demographic and this demographic and this demographic until it eventually appeals to no one this is kind of a common art style I think this kind of looks like the the wee little Nintendo I hate it I hate this art style it's terrible I mean Second Life is still popular and it's like we want a VR Second Life okay I mean I get that I understand that but the world just doesn't look particularly interesting like just from these screenshots like it doesn't look compelling so there's gonna be like just hanging out with your avatar interacting with people and then there's the games version which I guess is what these airplanes are doing up here those are things I can do in real life why would i vr that you can have airplane dogfights in real life on a video game I can take a flight on a plane but they don't let you shoot the guns they don't this one getting away from Facebook finally this one so we all talked about this and we agreed that we want to see how many hashtags this woman used because this makes no sense Twitter suspends Baltimore delegates for excessive use of hashtags while tweeting about transit and comment what is excessive I didn't I totally didn't get this one I would think Baltimore Sun that you'd like they copied a tweet but this is the tweet when she came back which is that's a kind of a cool little image right there yeah and but not the tweets that were supposedly offensive because the the bot automatically removed those like what is is like 20 hashtags too much or night is 19 okay like what's the number now changed it so it doesn't count towards the character limit anymore if you hashtag right no I don't know maybe I don't think so ever they're thinking it's just like too much its period yeah she did cheekily give the free last hashtag which maybe downplays the whole MLK thing a little bit we have a new treaty here in the US are you guys excited about it it's with the UK and it has to do with crime and trading information about criminals and extradition and stuff like that and that of course means dealing with encryption Facebook and whatsapp will have to share messages with the UK police and we read this and the more we read this the more questions we had like does this mean if the UK police think you're suspect or something that it's a sovereign US citizen we'll have to give this up or is it is this a UK citizen visiting the US and does this mean Facebook and whatsapp we're gonna have to change their platform so that the encryption can be decrypted in the first place because that would also be big news I don't think that they've made those decisions but the answer is yes so this is gonna do a white like you're not gonna be able to have encryption as part of any kind of hosted service anymore at all that seems oh no says long form its most inevitable and finally this was there was a feel-good story and it was all over the place and then one intrepid reporter said to himself I want to dig further I did and he found something very unpleasant but perhaps he was digging from within a glass house reporter who exposed racist tweets no longer at the paper after readers revealed his offensive tweets this headline does nothing to explain the story like I had never heard of this like how over the well let's start at the beginning with mr. Carson here well it's I'm looking at a bush light can so this was a sporting event and he held up a sign or something and his sign said need more bush light and he had a venmo account name on it so I mean nobody would just send a random stranger money through the internet because they saw him on TV right well he was on the Hart cam or whatever wrong he got a truckload of money and so he claims it went out bought one case of bush light and how he was really you know appealing to the bush life people here and then it could have been a plague you know you got to give him credit he didn't keep that money which he easily could have it was legally his he decided let's give it to a Children's Hospital and so he did and then a reporter dug in to hit tweets going back to when he was a teenager 16 or 18 I think it's yeah I want to say and he apparently said something offensive when he was 16 he's 24 now we don't know exactly what he said I believe it might have been an end mom the boy they they shape it here so I guess Bush pulled their deal where they were gonna make a camp oh no he wasn't 18 he's 18 and in high school he said that yeah I would never have said the word out loud at that point in my life as I never had that's a lot but the point is it was a long time ago yeah well six years and then the reporter was fired because he had said something similar in his past well people were outraged because this guy really was doing kind of a selfless thing and Children's Hospital's listen I'm no fan of children but I know I'm not against Children's Hospital yeah I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anybody against the children at least anybody that would admit it yeah and so people were rightfully so kind of indignant that this like well why are you going after this man look what he's doing and he did the hospital thing without it like you need like the this racial thing came out it's like yeah I'll just give the money away yeah yeah he wasn't trying to make up for anything so but then those people doing their own reporting dug into the Twitter past of the reporter and I don't even know what his thing was I don't think it was racial but it was something offensive yeah there's always a bigger fish the Internet wins again there's always a more racist fish yeah that might be the title of this week's episode we were talking about you know like do any of us have anything in our Twitter and I realized I actually do think I have something in my Twitter but it was done not knowing what the term meant oh yeah I was laughing because I saw someone with the username and this may be offensive to some beers turd burglar in overwatch and I laughed about it I tweeted I was like what a silly name and I didn't know what that meant either until we were discussing it for the news the person who responded to me on Twitter was like oh that's a that's a slur in the UK for a gay man I was like sense makes sense when you think about it but I was just thinking someone was stealing poop which was funny to me and hence white we did it and Ryan's question was like how would that happen and it's like he's stealing out of the toilet yeah like the absurdity of is what's funny he also hit Ryan you knew what it was yes I didn't know what it was and here's a pro tip a pro Twitter tip Crysta don't do any tweeting when you take that tour of the fudge-packing factory so that's enough of that well we have a little bit more about this story so this guy was gonna get his face on the can Iowa legend because the nice thing that he did and he was gonna get free beer forever for the rest of his life not anymore oh so boo now Busch is gonna take the money that they were gonna put toward those two things and give it to the Children's Hospital all right that's unfortunate for this guy unfortunate for the designer had to spend the time on the mock-ups I even produced a video real man of genius is that the right brand that's all we got that's enough we'll see you Friday see you guys\n"
