WorkWorkWorkWorkTinder is mandating face checks for California residents This move seeks to address one pain point behind dating apps, which is great, but the decline in usage is likely due to a number of factors. The pricing has gotten truly wild in recent years. Tinder, for instance, has multiple subscription tiers that average out to around $40 to $60 per month. On top of that, the company also sells "Super Likes" to the tune of $3 a pop and profile boosts at $8 each. It's a microtransaction hell.

WorkZohran Mamdani's Win Prompted a Complete Freak-out Among NYC's Power Brokers - Curbed (No paywall) Within 24 hours of Zohran Mamdani's Democratic-primary win, New York Citys ruling class was engaged in a collective freak-out. The sky is falling, feels like the vibe, an adviser to one billionaire told me on June 25, as the city awoke to the likely prospect of a 33-year-old socialist mayor. By lunch that day, the Partnership for New York City, a group made up of CEOs, big landlords, and other people who think they own the city, was throwing together an emergency Zoom meeting. With rare uniformity, these interests had coalesced in the primary to support and fund Andrew Cuomos muscle-car campaign. Now their chosen vehicle was wrecked, and they were desperately looking for another ride.

WorkWhite House says Canadian PM 'caved' to Trump demand to scrap tech tax "This tax would have fallen on Canadian consumers, businesses and investors in the form of higher costs and hurt our economy at a critical time," David Pierce, vice-president of government relations at the Canadian chamber of commerce said in a statement, adding the end of the tax "moves us one step closer to a renewed, reliable trade deal" with the United States.

WorkWorkIs Technology Really Ruining Teens' Lives? - The New Yorker (No paywall) In early 2021, the journalist Matt Richtel spoke to a father who was a few weeks into a nightmare. Tatnai Burnett was a doctor, his wife was a therapist, and, until middle school, their daughter Elaniv had seemed to be the happy beneficiary of loving parents and a stable home. Then, without apparent external cause, she became depressed and began cutting herself. Her parents sought treatment, including medication and therapy, but on March 1, 2021, Elaniv took an overdose of pills. She arrived at the hospital conscious, then started hallucinating and having seizures, before going into cardiac arrest and being placed on life support. She died on March 5th, shortly before her sixteenth birthday. Later that month, her father tried to make sense of what had happened while talking to a reporter. WorkWork

WorkWorkWorkWorkUltrasound toothbrush promises painless checks for hidden gum problems When visiting the dentist, you might remember being poked and prodded by a thin metal instrument to check your teeth and gums. This technique, called periodontal probing, is used to look for signs of gum disease. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Sensors report a toothbrush-shaped ultrasound transducer that can provide a less invasive screening for gum disease. In proof-of-concept demonstrations on animal tissues, the device produced measurements similar to those of a manual probe.
WorkWorkThe dreaded Zillow ban is finally here. Here's what you can do - Business Insider (No paywall) Pretty much every potential homebuyer looks for houses on the internet, scouring listings for the right facade and envisioning their couch in glossy photos of empty living rooms. A lot of the time, that digital touring pays off: The National Association of Realtors recently found that about half of purchasers end up finding the winning property online.
