Daily Tech News 3 November 2021

Top Story

Looks like congratulations are in order for the good people of the Commonwealth of Virginia, including my friend Brickmuppet.
Mark Zuckerberg's goal is the world of Karl Schroeder's Permanence. (Vice)

When everything is monetised, only the monets will ever... Wait, how does that go again?
Zillow decided to use their price tracking data and clever AI to flip houses wholesale. They lost their shirts. (MarketWatch)

In fact, they lost over half a billion dollars worth of shirts, which is a lot of shirts.

What a shame.

Tech News

Facebook is shutting down its facial recognition project and deleting all the related data. (Bleeping Computer)

Also, I have a great deal to offer on beachfront timeshares in Wyoming.
Over 30,000 GitLab servers have a serious unpatched vulnerability. (Bleeping Computer)

GitLab is great. It's one of the best pieces of open source software out there, and I use it every day. You still need to keep it up to date.
A deep dive into Google's new Tensor chip, powering the Pixel 6. (AnandTech)

It looks like this is similar to Samsung's Exynos 2100, but with a different CPU balance and a custom Google AI core. Which is much faster than the similar cores found in chips from Samsung and Qualcomm, but mostly on things you don't do on a phone.
