Today's Story Highlights

E-Scooters: On a Road to Nowhere
As summer winds die down here's hoping one of the season's most
ridiculous and unnecessary fads goes with them. Bird and Lime e-scooters
are just the latest twist on the foot-powered Razor Scooters that took
America by storm in 2000. Unlike Razor, which introduced electric-power
models back in 2003, Bird and Lime utilize a subscription model instead
of ownership.

Senators Bash Google at Russian Election Meddling Hearing
An empty chair reserved for Google became the focal point for harsh
criticism Wednesday at the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee's hearing
on Russian meddling in the 2016 elections. Facebook Chief Operating
Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey testified at the
forum. Several senators lambasted the absent company for being unwilling
to answer important questions.

Five Eyes Nations Push for Encryption Backdoors
Strong encryption can be a threat to law enforcement and national
security, the governments of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand said in a statement issued Sunday. "The
increasing use and sophistication of certain encryption designs present
challenges for nations in combating serious crimes and threats to
national and global security," maintained the countries.

UberMedia CEO Gladys Kong: Success Is Data-Driven
"Mobile advertising and location-based marketing are getting more and
more data-driven, both in targeting and analyzing results," said
UberMedia CEO Gladys Kong. "Advertisers are trying to understand more
about the consumer's journey. They want any insights they can get their
hands on in order to understand the consumer. Location measurement is
becoming a much more important part of advertising."

Of Course Google Is Biased
I once took a market research class that focused on the identification
and elimination of bias. My final paper was on an intentionally biased
piece of research. It was far easier to introduce bias and then talk
about the bias than it would have been to attempt to do unbiased work
and defend it as unbiased. For that reason alone, it's almost certainly
true that Google's search engine is biased.
