It looks like the company that owns Canvas reached an "agreement" with their hacker that covers their data and all users. We got the email about it from University of California. calmatters.org/economy/techn…

Oura is Finland's most valuable growth company by revenue and market cap and "a national treasure" as the American CEO puts it. It's also now officially a US company with its operational HQ there. While insisting it is still Finnish at heart. Hmm. @HelsiginSanomat :

The million dollar question for people who follow tech policy is, how much of U.S. outperformance of European tech is down to lax regulation vs other factors? Tech investors have their answer (a lot) but there are many other differences between the markets

There is so much potential to cover the intersection of national security, foreign affairs, and tech right now — kudos to Sharon, she’s just the person to create something innovative
It's a hard week to announce I'm leaving a job voluntarily, but after four great years at The Wall Street Journal, it's time. I have a book in the works and plans for a new media venture. For now, I'm an Omidyar Network Reporter in Residence. There's a future for journalism.

the voice bot said “I’d be happy to make your reservation for you, I’ll text you a link to our reservation system! See you on the 29th!” and it was a link that says they don’t accept reservations 👍

OpenAI is under investigation by California’s attorney general for its planned conversion to a for-profit company — with the state citing a need to protect charitable assets. One expert thinks the company could owe $30 billion. calmatters.org/economy/techn…

Obama fought for seven years to enforce a subpoena against an NYT reporter, who faced jail time for refusing to testify about an alleged intelligence source. Journalists must protect themselves against all factions unfortunately. Better late than never 🤷‍♂️nytimes.com/2010/04/29/us/29…
This is an utterly unbelievable NYT article. It claims media outlets are now going to start using encryption to protect against Trump spying on them. As if Obama didn't build a system of mass surveillance used against everyone including media outlets. nytimes.com/2025/01/13/busin…

“Bob Dylan isn’t unknowable. He’s plenty knowable. You just have to want to know.”
Factor in to this reaction the knowledge that I generally hate biopics and Timothee Chalamet makes me wince, plus I find young Bob Dylan to be a highly punchable personality: jacobin.com/2025/01/chalamet…
