AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

CBS News California Investigates found that Uber, Lyft and DoorDash accounts are being bought and rented online—often without any driver’s license or verification—allowing individuals who would fail the platforms’ background checks to operate rides‑hare and delivery services. Investigators traced listings on Facebook Marketplace and Instagram, spoke with longtime driver Sergio Avedian who confirmed the practice, and documented incidents where customers received deliveries from people who did not match the profile photos, including one who threatened a disabled customer with a firearm. The probe revealed sellers promising to bypass background checks, prompting criticism from Rep. Debbie Dingell and highlighting the limits of current safety measures; while Uber, Lyft and DoorDash say they prohibit account sharing and employ ID checks and background screenings, CBS LA’s test deliveries showed a notable mismatch rate, underscoring ongoing consumer‑safety concerns despite recent California legislation requiring driver identification.

I will NEVER use #DoorDash to book restaurant reservations. Companies have to stop trying to be and do everything and just pick a fucking lane. Like #Allbirds -- now they don't do shoes anymore at all, just #AI. No, waitaminute -- that's not exactly what I mean.

new tire time.
264,000km on the car.
Including original all seasons, I think this is my 3rd set of "summer/allseason". Going with high mileage Nokian One.

This will be the end of a 3rd set of winters.

Not cheap, but the most important part on the road.

I've probably bought 12 sets of tires at the same Kaltire shop over the past 25 years across 4 cars.

They're good people.

The Atlantic | The Stanford Inside Stanford by Theo Baker

The article exposes how a privileged “Stanford inside Stanford” ecosystem has turned the university into a breeding ground for venture‑capital‑driven entrepreneurship, where VCs court freshmen and sophomores with mentorship, cash, and exclusive access in exchange for future equity. Through elite classes like Steve Blank’s “Lean Launchpad,” secret clubs, and invite‑only programs, a small cohort of well‑connected students receive “pre‑idea” funding, luxury perks, and pressure to drop out and launch startups, while the broader student body is swept up in a culture that values hype, networking, and rapid wealth over rigorous learning. The piece highlights the massive influx of capital into Silicon Valley and Stanford’s research park, the myth of the brilliant dropout, and how this feed‑forward model has produced both high‑impact innovations and notable failures and ethical lapses, suggesting that the university’s intertwining with venture capital has eroded meritocratic ideals and weakened accountability.
