I've always marveled that The New York Times can know exactly how many free articles I've consumed across different apps/entry points, but cannot ever keep me logged in.
"A statement provided to us Friday from the Panama Canal Authority said that a high level of arrivals during the last in September coincided with schedule dry-chamber maintenance."
60 projectors at 26,000 watts each were synchronized to create a single seamless image with a resolution of 4592 x 2048 pixels on a 420,000 square foot surface. Wow.
These are cool, but seems like in cases where you want to blur something out on an image you should do so in photoshop on the actual image and not with css. Otherwise someone could just use element inspector to delete the blur effect.
Here's what struck me as the most interesting comment from Sack - "Considering the issue of advocacy in the context of deliberations involving alleged state secrets, and, more broadly, the ʺleakʺ by Edward Snowden that led to this litigation, calls to mind the disclosures by Daniel Ellsberg that gave rise to the legendary ʺPentagon Papersʺ litigation."
1.75 billion customers last year which is a 2.6% increase. It would be helpful to have the context of how much of the city's population has used the system over time. A quick google search makes me think this increase is far outpacing the population increases in the city.
I get that incentives are misaligned between involved parties (VC's, founders, employees), but it seems very disingenuous to knowingly withhold this information.
Seems to me (as a startup employee) that downside protection and liquidation preferences should be required to be disclosed to all previous stakeholders (employees, prior investors, etc.).

"A team of Snapchat curators will stitch together photos and videos from the app’s users at celebrations in Dubai, New York City, St. Petersburg, Russia, and other posts around the world to create a documentarylike view of how people are experiencing New Year’s Eve. (The photos and videos will be included only if users give their permission.)"
Anyone know more about how this works? I'd be curious about the process behind sifting through all that content, seems like it would be really tough to find good stuff and turn it around as quickly as they do.
