  2. #Netflix chairman #ReedHastings demanded #SanJose Mayor #MattMahan return a $1 million donation made just 5 days earlier to Mahan's struggling CA gubernatorial campaign.

    Did this have to do with an #ethics complaint that was filed alleging possible illegal coordination between Mahan's campaign and a deep pocketed #PAC?

    Newly filed campaign finance report for “California Back to Basics Supporting Matt Mahan for Governor 2026” #PAC shows Reed Hastings contributed $1 million to a Mahan connected "independent expenditure committee" on May 15 — only to want the generous campaign cash back just 5 days later.

    No direct link between the complaint and the refund has been confirmed, nor public explanation for why Hastings demanded his moolah back less than a wk after giving it — only that the million $ was returned quickly, while Mahan's #BigTech sponsored #campaign has not resonated across #California as much as deep pocketed #siliconvalley $ supporters had initially hoped.

    Big tech money had flooded Mahan's coffers early , including $1 million from Airbnb and $950,000 from Zuggerfugger's #Meta — now as voting has already begun, safe $ seems to flow in the direction of former #JoeBiden cabinet member #XavierBecerra, current #Democrat party primary frontrunner.

  3. Weekly output: WiFi hotspots, Android 17 + Gemini Intelligence, earning trust in AI, staying IRL in an AI world, AI image generation, photonics + data centers, Bill Gross on AI

    SAN JOSE, Calif.–I’m back on the West Coast only three days after returning from Web Summit Vancouver, and my excuse for yet another transcon flight involves two different events: TechEx North America at the convention center here, where I’m moderating two panels Monday, and then Google I/O a little up the peninsula in Mountain View Tuesday and Wednesday. This is my second year at the first event but will be my 12th in-person I/O.

    5/11/2026: The Best Wi-Fi Hotspot, Wirecutter

    This update to this guide was originally going to review the Franklin A70 hotspot that AT&T introduced last year, but as I was about to file my edits I learned that AT&T was discontinuing that model. So I took out all of the copy assessing the A70 and restored the discussion of older models, which still left plenty of new text covering, among other things, how most high-end smartphone plans now include more data than you get with hotspot-only plans.

    5/12/2026: In Android 17, ‘Gemini Intelligence’ Can Automate Tasks Across Apps, PCMag

    Google dumped an enormous amount of news one week before I/O, to the point that I needed almost 1,200 words to cover it without even getting into Googlebook laptops, since PCMag’s Michael Kan wrote up that part of Google’s news. I trust that Google left something else to announce onstage at I/O Tuesday.

    5/12/2026: Data done right: Earning consumer trust in an AI-first world. Web Summit

    This was the second year in a row I had a Web Summit Vancouver panel featuring Pamela Snively, chief data and trust officer with Telus Communications. Knowing my fellow speaker’s conversational style made this panel easy; the topic was also a good one to explore.

    5/12/2026: The Analog Renaissance, Why Human Connection and IRL Is the Most Radical Innovation, Frontier Collective

    I showed up 5 minutes late to this offsite panel hosted by a local tech group because my floatplane joyride ended almost 30 minutes later than scheduled, a timing failure that in retrospect seems like something I was asking for. I then had a fun discussion with my fellow speakers–Raven White, TED’s director of audience development and community; Heather Odendaal, WNORTH CEO and founder; and Johnny Rodgers, a founding principal engineer at Slack–but I feel bad about inflicting “where is Rob?” uncertainty on the organizers and forcing emcee Theodora Jean to field my position for the first few minutes.

    5/13/2026: What it actually takes to train frontier models, Web Summit

    This was a late addition to my schedule, leaving no time for a prep call beforehand with Black Forest Labs co-founder Tim Dockhorn. That, in turn, meant I only discovered on stage that he can answer questions exceedingly briefly–which required me to improv a bunch of new questions. This sort of thing has happened on panels before; this time, I didn’t feel like I was flailing around onstage quite so much.

    5/14/2026: Can Photonics Make the AI Data Center Boom More Palatable?, PCMag

    Since my research for this started at NTT Research’s Upgrade conference in mid April, I was happy I finally got this written–including quotes from my interview of the photonics firm Taara’s CEO at Web Summit Vancouver that helped this post be about more than just the expenses-comped NTT event. I was not so happy to discover that I left two errors into the copy, one about the distances that Taara’s silicon-photonics chipset can send data through the air and another about this firm’s spot in the extended Google corporate universe.

    5/15/2026: Bill Gross thinks AI companies are running out of ways to avoid paying creators, Fast Company

    This is the first time in a long time–maybe ever, actually–where I wrote a story from an interview as an edited transcript instead of writing a more-structured piece with selected quotes plugged in where I saw fit. I enjoyed the challenge of finding the most enlightening exchanges about the longtime Silicon Valley founder and investor’s new venture ProRata and the state of AI in general out of 6,000-plus words of AI-generated transcript from my phone’s Google Recorder app (which I then checked by playing back the original recording).

  5. 把要存储的东西都搬好了,花了145USD,律师妹妹说收贵了,但考虑到师傅们出一次工有个最低出场费,而且全程服务质量超高完全没让我费一点点神还是值得的。

    没想到我的东西已经把1.5立方米的 locker 装得满满当当,下次再来如果还有采购的话我就得换一个大的了。

  6. 我以为这里全年恒温会完全没有四季之分(冬天也有月季在开),结果最近每天都会走的一条路上树开花了,一条街落英缤纷,是春天的气息啊!

    (树应该是玫瑰风铃木)

  7. 来一家3500人打出4.9分的店想看看到底有多好吃,结果发现他们家有名的餐点不是早上供应。

    但早饭也还是挺不错的!三块钱的咖啡是这么端上来的,普通的粉但这么一搞突然就显得厉害了很多 :aru_0520:

  8. “We’ve got to ask our government to do better before we ask people to give more.” Mayor #MattMahan of #SanJosé sits down with #JonStewart to discuss his candidacy for governor of # California. They talk about building constituents' trust by reducing homelessness youtu.be/D5v1lKEToUM?...

    Mayor Matt Mahan - His Vision ...

  9. 搬回 Sabana Park 附近的优势之一是又可以吃上去年挖掘的本地快餐店!

    盛惠14 USD

  10. "Mahan touts his office’s initiative to move 1,000 homeless people off the streets into temporary shelters. But he dipped into revenue from a voter-approved measure to accomplish this, diverting dollars from permanent housing...To date, the city has permitted just 9% of its state-mandated target of building 62,200 homes by 2031.

    Is the solution to put people in tents or parking lots full of RVs because they can’t afford rent in one of the most expensive cities in the U.S.? Is this the formula he will take to Sacramento?" #CAGov #SanJose #MattMahan

  11. 本地生活里有一样我特别喜欢的——早上七点就有很多本地早餐店开了(专门开给外国人的各种西式 brunch 店起码要到八点九点),能看到一家人老老少少出来吃早饭,或者是朋友三四五六个一起,或者是情侣两个,像我这样一个人的也有但不多。

    本晨型人十分满足!

  12. 你的时间线上的冲动型选手因为在网上看到一个房子现在已经掏出 WhatsApp 和对方经纪约了一个看房……

    24万美金两个townhouse打包卖

  13. 今天买到了鸡爪!两美金一包!估计是因为附近是中国街肉贩们挖掘到了这个需求,还有鸡胗之类的~

    问一下图里这个是什么?我今天买了一包还不知道怎么吃。

    更新:应该是佛手瓜,谢谢大噶。

  14. 特意放了一根香蕉作为尺寸参照物。

    最近爱上了用大蕉做主食,蒸熟了超好吃(甜甜的,但又没有油炸的那种腻感)

  15. 今天又多认识了两种水果,左边的番木瓜,右边的刺果番荔枝(aka 释迦果)。

    #哥斯达黎加 #CostaRica #SanJose

  16. 今天来赶大集,买了姜蒜红葱头香蕉芒果野莓蘑菇秋葵胡萝卜茄子小青菜玉米饼,还有一种我不知道是什么的瓜果准备尝尝鲜。

    看到秋葵的时候我问老板价格,老板说 dos mil 我一时没听清,让她重复一遍,老板看了我三秒,说:“两千!” :aru_0200:

  17. 好消息:牙医联系了他大学的教授来治我的疑难杂症(种植牙的牙冠掉了,加拿大不用这种技术牙医取不下来螺丝)

    坏消息:已经在这个诊所花了1800USD了,分别是一颗新牙冠、一颗烤瓷牙、十三颗牙的窝沟封闭。

  19. What this article doesn't mention is that under former Mayor Sam Liccardo, and now under his protégé Matt Mahan, San Jose had granted millions of subsides to favored developers in the form of exemptions from these infrastructure fees. And that those developers are also among the biggest contributors to Liccardo's and Mahan's campaigns. #SanJose #developers #infrastructure #SamLiccardo #MattMahan sanjosespotlight.com/insuffici

  20. People who bike or walk to Taqueria El Kiosko on Williams Road at Alisal Street will be among the many celebrating these infrastructure improvements! transportation.gov/grants/ss4a

    U.S. DOT's Safe Streets and Roads for All grants announced 12/13/23 include $16M to the #MontereyCounty seat and its largest city, Salinas. The work on the Williams Road Safe Streets Corridor Project—where 11 pedestrians and bicyclists were reported to have lost their lives from 2017-2021—will include constructing a single-lane #roundabout at the Williams Rd and East Market St intersection, installing #CurbExtensions, new lights and signals, and raised, buffered #BicycleLanes. transportation.gov/sites/dot.g
