⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hi, Jeremy Renner App. Bye, Jeremy Renner App
I’ve got a lot of bizarre Internet to get to but the Jeremy Renner App Fiasco is probably a good place to start.
Read the entire farewell (amazing) and then Gizmodo provides some useful context:
The “clever” impersonation trick Jeremy Renner is referring to is that there is apparently nothing preventing trolls from creating fake Jeremy Renner profiles on Jeremy Renner, and that any notifications generated by Jeremy Renner app appear to be coming from Jeremy Renner. That’s how Deadspin contributor Stefan Heck accidentally caused the Jeremy Renner apocalypse: When these two facts became widely known, Jeremy Renner was flooded with fake Jeremy Renners posting about how much Jeremy Renner loves pornography. (Also, someone was pretending to be Casey Anthony on Jeremy Renner.)
✋ Amazon Tests Whole Foods Payment System That Uses Hands As ID
Key words here, I think, are “in the coming months.”
The e-tailing giant’s engineers are quietly testing scanners that can identify an individual human hand as a way to ring up a store purchase, with the goal of rolling them out at its Whole Foods supermarket chain in the coming months, The Post has learned.
Employees at Amazon’s New York offices are serving as guinea pigs for the biometric technology, using it at a handful of vending machines to buy such items as sodas, chips, granola bars and phone chargers, according to sources briefed on the plans.
It’s accurate to within one ten-thousandth of 1%, but Amazon engineers are scrambling to improve it to a millionth of 1% ahead of its launch, the source said.
🤯🤯🤯 Poppy (Entertainer)’s Wikipedia Page
Apologies if you’re already caught up on this artist but I was not until Zach Curd posted Poppy’s video to his timeline last night.
First: hi Zach! Wow thanks.
Two: I have never been more baffled by three and a half minutes of music. You really ought to give it a listen.
Three: The wikipedia page is even stranger than the video (how is that possible???) which led me down the rabbit hole of searching Poppy vids inviting me to join Poppy Church.
More to come, I’m sure.
🎥🇨🇳🇺🇸 Why China Is Buzzing About Netflix’s Obama-Backed Factory Film
I’m going to try and watch American Factory over the weekend:
The documentary, backed by Barack and Michelle Obama’s new production company, follows along as a shuttered General Motors plant outside Dayton is bought and converted into a factory run by China’s Fuyao Glass. The complexities of the issue are evident in the reactions it evoked in China, a mix of self-reflection and defensiveness as the trade war with the U.S. shows no sign of ending.
The doc sounds fascinating and some believe the Obamas will be taking home an Oscar next year.
