I am beginning to think College Football has a bit of an attendance problem brewing. Look at the thread below to see the crowds yesterday at Oklahoma, Penn State, UCLA, TCU, Maryland, SDSU, and FSU. 🤯 What is the main cause? Unrealistic expectations? Economy? Apathy? Halloween? 🧵👇🏼

Genuinely think that Resy and OpenTable have ruined the restaurant scene in many cities, including NYC Impossible to walk into a great restaurant and be pleasantly surprised. Unless you are making plans weeks ahead of time, you will never find a seat Social media obviously also has a lot to do with it too. Every decent place now has massive lines in front of it. There is no sense of hidden gems that only locals know about Feels like the spontaneous experience of dining no longer exists

Portland Public Schools updated its enrollment figures this week. Here are the trends by grade level.

Yesterday, hackers stole more than $6 billion from Binance in less than 4 hours, the biggest heist in history. The Clarity Act would have given crypto firms legal cover to freeze suspicious transactions the instant law enforcement calls. Every minute lost is money gone for good.

Amazing chart from Adam Farrar of Bloomberg @economics. Assuming the Binance hack was done by the North Koreans, as alleged by @trmlabs, then the country just captured 75% of its total 2025 revenue in the span of just 20 minutes

JUST IN: Tether freezes $971 million $USDT linked to suspected Binance hack. No official statement from Binance yet.

JUST IN: Miller Lite says it took beer that was on the line at 10:13 pm CT, when the Brewers won it all, and put it special "Clinch Cans." 4,400 cans will be available online starting 11/2.

New: spending on Anthropic models on OpenRouter hit a new peak last week, up 47% from the summer high during the week of June 8. Opus 5.5 was the top model by spend over the last 7 days across 20 of the 29 task categories we currently track. openrouter.ai/rankings#task-…

Waymo is adding nearly 250 square miles to its driverless ride-hailing service across 5 existing U.S. markets over the next week. Los Angeles: Expanding along the coast into the South Bay, including Torrance. San Diego: Extending north to La Jolla, adding destinations including UC San Diego, the VA, and University Town Center. Nashville: Expanding farther south, including access to Nashville Zoo. Orlando: Nearly doubling its coverage in the east, alongside improved downtown service. San Francisco Bay Area: Adding coverage farther south, including a new connection to Berryessa BART Station. The rollout expands where existing riders can travel, rather than launching in five new cities.

i’m deleting @Uber and moving to @Waymo absolutely today, my uber driver told me he has four children living in a garage, and that of the $30 i paid for the ride, he was only getting $7. it’s the 5th time an uber driver has confronted me about tipping him in cash. this time, he pointed to my diamond earrings and trench coat as evidence that i could obviously afford to pay him more. it’s an astonishing masterclass in incentive design! make the worker desperate enough to go outside their boundaries, make the customer guilty enough to give in, and the company gets off scot-free. these are deeply uncomfortable situations for customers to be put in. i empathize with the drivers, but being put on the spot and made to feel personally responsible for someone else’s livelihood is a difficult position to be in.
