I installed a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's solar powered, and the mic is pointed down at the street below walzr.com/bop-spotter

So, Google is killing its cache (which was amazingly useful), and replacing it with a third-party solution of linking to the Internet Archive. I really hope the Internet Archive is being paid -- and paid a lot -- for this.
We know many people, including those in the research community, value seeing previous versions of webpages when available. That’s why beginning today, we're adding links to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to our "About this result" panel, to give people quick context and make this helpful information easily accessible through Search. To access archive links, click on the three dots next to a search result. In the window that appears, click on the "More about this page" button, then look for the "See previous versions on Internet Archive's Wayback Machine" link. It will take a day or so for this to fully roll out and be available for those searching in 40 different languages. Learn more about how "About this result" works and other information it offers here: support.google.com/websearch…

The perfect distillation of a city council meeting.
Replying to @bullockjj
The 13th speaker is informing the council he is going to sue the city in federal court for $7 million. I am not sure what he is talking about but he is not happy.

Jeremy: I've got a website opportunity, actually. Super Hans has sorted us out a website, and get this, it's empty.

Interviewer: "In your career, have you ever been in a similar situation?" @dougmillsnyt: "I’ve always feared being in this situation. I always wondered what I’d do in this situation. I hope I get the right shot. I hope I’m not shot myself." nytimes.com/2024/07/13/us/po…
