Apple and Google Try Again At Contact—Most...

What"s New ·

2020/09/03

Digital contact tracing has been a mess in the United States! And that explains a small part of why our response to the coronavirus, and particularly the second wave, has been such a calamity.

What"s New ·

2020/09/01

Elon Musk shows off a little implant to put in your skull to read electrical signals. Because it’s Musk, and he talked about downloading your memories, the demonstration has been slightly sidetracked. But there are still real medical advances that can come from brain implants as we learn how to make them work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What"s New ·

2020/08/28

What the heck is happening at Tiktok? The CEO just resigned and today we have news that Walmart may be joining forces with Microsoft to buy it in what looks like a highly confusing transaction.

2020/08/25

Smart home speakers are being used nearly as ubiquitously by law enforcement as cell phones. They’ve got data about location, about who’s in a home when, and maybe even snippets of audio from when crimes were committed. And they can be useful in proving alibis too.
