This is a good example of something that sounds true but is actually not. Private equity put Borders out of business (famously). Barnes & Noble is now private but by all reports (still) doing fine. There are more independent bookstores today (in more towns) than ever before.

Have they ever had a public meeting?
So basically they had a meeting, and someone is guessing what they may have talked about?

If true, an interesting move; failing to account for the possibility of the iPad dominating the tablet market essentially sunk Peloton President William Lynch's run at Barnes & Noble when they invested too heavily in the production of first party Nook tablets. Those Nook tablets were actually a great product, far superior to the Fire tablets Amazon was eventually able to muscle in to their own niche, but it didn't ultimately mean that much in the face of Apple's domination.

I am a tech worker raising my family in Brooklyn and it's quite lovely. Expensive, yes, but lovely. Whether you find it a "rat race" of a lifestyle or not is much more dependent on your internal psychology than the city itself.

Snap is not a part of Facebook, they're independent and looking to go public.

I would be surprised if the largest affiliates don't have the ability to negotiate fees beyond what is included in the public schedule...

I was personally expecting a piece about a baffling resurgence in the use of ICQ.

"Hi I just got something for free and I'd like the opportunity to complain about it now." I mean he said there are no plans to shut it down. What timeframe? You want a promise that for X years you'll continue to receive this service for free, unchanged? They're extending the value. There's literally nothing to be grumpy about.

No, you're limited to the choices the app developer presents to you, and Google Photos presents Always, which you can reject to get Never. I hadn't even known it was an option previously, as they're the only app I have (had in the past) that requests permanent ongoing location. And I didn't even notice what I'd agreed to until my location services indicator wouldn't turn off, and I had to track down what was triggering it.
