Pierre Bienaimé has three things to know today—from the Ty Cobbs' retirement, to Iowa's abortion bill, to a settlement in Philadelphia.
On today’s Gist, a fond farewell to Ty Cobb. Gen. Michael Hayden was running the National Security Agency and then the CIA, he couldn’t talk about our national security risks. If he could have, most people would have listened to him. But things are different now. Hayden talks about the decline of fact-based arguments, the Iran nuclear deal, and the future of privacy. His latest book is The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies. In the Spiel, Kanye West knows he has flaws. He just can’t learn from them.
On this week’s If Then, Will Oremus and April Glaser talk about Facebook’s big privacy changes and its foray into online dating, as Glaser reports from the company’s annual developer conference in San Jose. Oremus takes a listener’s question about the Golden State Killer case and the questions it raises about the privacy of our DNA. Oremus is joined by Eric Lundgren, a pioneer in e-waste recycling who is awaiting a 15-month prison sentence for distributing CDs that allow people to reinstall Microsoft Windows on used Dell computers. Lundgren insists he’s not a criminal, and that the real crime is how tech companies drive sales of new products by discouraging people from fixing up their old ones. And on this week’s “Don’t Close My Tabs,” Slate tech reporter Heather Schwedel joins Oremus as they share stories about “Moviepass movies” and Google’s increasingly divided internal culture.Timestamps:1:47 News: Golden State Killer and DNA Tech5:55 News: April dispatches from F8, Facebook’s Annual Developer Conference16:09 Interview: Eric Lundgren, the e-waste recycler on why he’s going to prison35:04 Don’t Close My TabsDon’t Close My TabsThe Cut: The Distinct Pleasure of the “MoviePass Movie”The Wall Street Journal: Google Vs.
