Show Notes:
0:45 Jason introduces his guests: Urban Innovation Fund MP Clara Brenner and Journalist Iain Thomson of The Register.
02:58 - On Sheryl Sandberg and Jack Dorsey testifying before Congress: Iain says it was all well planned and nobody screwed up. Clara says it’s good to see the companies are taking the issue of election meddling seriously and interesting that Google didn’t send a representative.
6:23 - Jason mentions that Alex Jones was at the hearing and the conversation turns to the effectiveness of de-platforming people. Iain says it happens to extremists on the left and right, and that while everyone should have a voice, Jones’ conspiracy theories have resulted in the harassment of Sandy Hook victims’ families.

13:04 - On the scooter wars: Clara says scooters are ultimately good for cities as last-mile transit is important to many people. San Francisco’s decision to issue permits only to Scoot and Skip was a message to the bigger companies that deployed carelessly.

25:52 - On Lyft preparing for an IPO: Clara is surprised Lyft will likely beat Uber to IPO, and says it will be a competitive advantage for Lyft. Jason asks, with so many IPOs coming, what will happen to San Francisco? Will it be like Norway?
32:20 - Jason asks why there isn’t much real estate and business development in the small towns outside of Silicon Valley. Clara talks about Opportunity Zones: disadvantaged areas where the government provides tax breaks for long-term investment. The conversation shifts to companies that pay for employee housing and startups in the compact multi-use spaces business.
39:32 - On hacking and backdoor device access: Iain says we’re likely to see a lot of legislation seeking to give law enforcement access to various protected devices. But Apple and others should not build backdoors because as soon as the world knows they exist, people will find a way to exploit them.
49:49 - Iain explains Tor, how it operates, and why the US government funded it to enable secure communications. He notes that Facebook is, by far, the most trafficked site on Tor. Jason says Facebook should offer a paid subscription that offers users an ad-free, untracked experience.
53:36 - On the leak in the International Space Station: Iain says that initially, the small hole was thought to be the result of a micrometeorite. But on closer inspection, the hole didn’t have the telltale signs of impact damage.
