Secret Crush (aka Facebook dating) is banking on the social circle & all that personal data its been collecting for years. Rather than swiping randos, it suggests connections based on logged likes and behavior. Do you think this has a chance against other dating apps? #IS6621 #C

An article about how Twitter needs to do more to safeguard its women users. "Parliamentarians raised the issue of how unequally Twitter applies policies on hateful conduct depending on the sex being targeted." Coincides a lot with Prof. Chang's lecture #IS6621 #C

Twitter grilled on policy approach that reinforces misogyny https://t.co/5tliWBnWPm by @riptari

@licarima Haha I immediately logged on to see the change but mine seems to remain the same? I wonder why.. maybe it's a test rollout of the new layout #IS6621

In light of our conversation about tech taking over jobs.. Amazon claims that it's at least 10 yrs away from fully automating the processing of a single order picked by a worker inside a warehouse. In the current form, the tech is very limited and far from taking over #IS6621 #C

[Reuters Tech News @ReutersTech]

Amazon dismisses idea automation will eliminate all its warehouse jobs soon https://t.co/VSRO1TAzvk

@DililloMelissa Wow I’ve never thought about the idea of a global digital heritage! It’s an interesting point that we can use this digital heritage for future generations to understand their history #IS6621

Terrible publicity for @Tesla :/ #IS6621

The full-body scanners that have become standard at airports across the US are prone to false alarms for hairstyles popular among women of color (Afros, braids, twists). This brings up the moral dilemma of tech & questions of how we can tackle it #IS6621 https://t.co/OuzryY4sZ5

@csaitta4 @LuizaSAraujo1 Even the title “the math behind successful relationships” throws me off. I don’t think there can ever be a predictive tool that can accurately predict the success of any human relationship. This is an area that AI shouldn’t try to enter.. we’re far more complex than that #IS6621

@kgcorrigan @licarima You bring up a great point about reducing food waste! Oftentimes I end up having to throw out uneaten foods because I forget it’s there, so having a refrigerator that keeps track of what I have and tells me what to make with it will be a game changer #IS6621

In light of our conversation last week about @Allbirds.. interesting read on how @adidasoriginals is trying to revolutionize the shoe industry once more #IS6621

Disney+ is set to compete with very similar prices offered by Netflix ($8/13/16 depending on plan) and Hulu ($6/12). It’s unlocking the Disney vault and coming out with original content to entice new subscribers. As a huge Disney fan myself, I’m pretty stoked for this #IS6621

[Insider Tech @TechInsider]

#DisneyPlus is set to launch on November 12, 2019 and it will cost $6.99 per month or $69.99 a year

[Deb Han @debhan10]

It’s awesome how simple technology can make such a big impact 💙 #IS6621

“For the last half-decade or so, an architectural historian named Andrew Tallon worked with laser scanners to capture the entirety of the cathedral’s interior and exterior in meticulous 3D point clouds." #IS6621

[WIRED @WIRED]

The #NotreDameFire turned the cathedral's thousand-year-old roof to ash, but all may not be lost. The meticulous laser scans of a late architectural historian could provide a map for restoring or rebuilding it https://t.co/euflu2tK5v

If Twitter believes an account is spam, it can set out a “challenge,” such as verifying a phone number, solving a reCAPTCHA, or resetting its password. By doing this, it removes ~10 accounts every second #IS6621

[Fast Company @FastCompany]

Twitter is working to fight “platform manipulation” by automatically removing 6 million to 7.5 million accounts per week https://t.co/wnqQs5kW5u

Facebook now deemed an “online criminal flea market”, where you can buy stolen credit card details with CVV security numbers, usernames and passwords, and email spamming tools. It’s terrifying. Was anyone aware that this was happening on Facebook? #IS6621
