(https://followfridaypodcast.com/adrianne-regina (Full transcript of this podcast available here)). On the podcast they co-host, https://underunderstood.com/podcast/ (Underunderstood), journalists Adrianne Jeffries and Regina Dellea answer the questions that you can't resolve with a simple Google search. For example: Why does everyone in Japan attribute this one quote to https://underunderstood.com/podcast/episode/snoopy-in-japan/ (Snoopy from Peanuts)? Are America's https://underunderstood.com/podcast/episode/area-code-conspiracy-theory/ (telephone area codes) all part of a big conspiracy? And why did people all over the US receive https://underunderstood.com/podcast/episode/closing-the-loop-on-chinas-mystery-seeds/ ("mystery seeds" in the mail) from China last year? But when they're not solving mysteries, Adrianne and Regina have been spending a lot of time on TikTok recently, so they went all-in for today's episode of Follow Friday: Four accounts they love on TikTok, including a https://www.tiktok.com/@burr_iamcomedy? (comedian and her dorky husband); a polymath who also https://www.tiktok.com/@cyberexboyfriend? (roasts McMansions); a trans musician and https://www.tiktok.com/@leftatlondon?

Kara Swisher, a journalist and author writing about information technology, will discuss her observations regarding the internet, the digital revolution it created and the possible future it may bring. Topics will include: the influence of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other platforms on our politics, especially on the January 6 attack of the U.S. Capitol; the effect of computer robotics on our economy; the development of artificial intelligence; facial recognition and other means of surveillance; the lack of gender diversity in the dot.com world, among other areas of public concern. Swisher is an opinion writer for the New York Times where she also produces a twice-weekly podcast “Sway” on tech issues; she is an editor-at-large at New York Media, co-hosts the popular “Pivot” podcast and has authored two books. Her examination of the tech industry led Newsweek to call her “Silicon Valley’s most feared journalist.” She has established a reputation in the tech world for unrivaled access, having interviewed Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Rupert Murdoch, Stacey Abrams, and Kim Kardashian, to name just a few. New York Magazine noted one of the reasons for Swisher’s unusual success is her longevity. She began covering tech in the early ’90s when the people in power today were just starting out. Amazon was looking for its first headquarters in Seattle, Google was in its garage and Netflix was a small startup. While working in the San Francisco bureau of The Wall Street Journal as one of the first reporters on the internet beat she wrote the column "BoomTown," which appeared on the front page of the Marketplace section. Swisher co-produced and co-hosted the Wall Street Journal’s "D: All Things Digital" conference series (now called the Code conference) with Walt Mossberg starting in 2003. It was, and still is, the country's premier conference on tech and media. Following her remarks, Ms. Swisher will answer questions from the audience. The moderator will be Adrianne Jeffries, investigative tech journalist for The Markup, founding editor at The Outline, former editor of Motherboard and reporter for The Verge, The New York Observer, The Virginian Pilot, The New York Times, Businessweek, and the Netflix documentary series Broken. Sponsoring Committee: Senior Lawyers, Diane Fener and Gertrude Pfaffenbach, Co-Chairs Co-Sponsoring Committees: Communications & Media Law, Matthew L. Schafer, Chair Council on Intellectual Property, James R. Klaiber, Chair Mental Health Law, Karen P. Simmons, Chair Technology, Cyber and Privacy Law, Sylvia Khatcherian, Chair

Follow the Data: On this week’s episode of Track Changes, tech journalist Adrianne Jeffries sits down with us to talk about The Markup, a new non-profit data driven newsroom.

She also addresses the shake up that happened at The Markup in its beginnings and tells us about her personal podcast Underunderstood.  Links:  - The Markup  - Propublica   - Machine Bias by Propublica - HUD Sues Facebook Over Housing Discrimination by Propublica  - New York Times - Buzzfeed  - Yelp is Screwing Over Restaurants By Quietly Replacing Their Phone Numbers - ReadWrite  - TechCrunch  - New York Observer - Motherboard  - The Outline

After failing to internalize the business/humanitarian potential of blockchain technologies in the last episode, Aaron talks to the reporter Adrianne Jeffries about her Verge article "Blockchain is Meaningless". @adrjeffries Adrianne Jeffries' weekly crypto column on The Verge Bitmain’s new $12K cryptocurrency miner might be useless by the time it ships (The Next Web) Blockchain is Meaningless (The Verge) IBM launches a cheaper platform for start-ups to build blockchain projects (CNBC)

Aaron & Jay try (and fail) to wrap their heads about the blockchain itself and how it could be revolutionary in realms outside currency. Can you believe in the blockchain but not Bitcoin? What do companies like IBM want with blockchain technology? Has anyone actually done anything worthwhile with the blockchain other than issuing coins? Thanks to Adrianne Jeffries whose Verge article '‘BLOCKCHAIN’ IS MEANINGLESS' inspired this episode.

Like much of America, we are big fans of HBO's 'Westworld,' but not because of the science in the show. To be honest, the show doesn't really bother trying to explain how its hosts work, but in doing so, it allows the show to ask some of the big ethical questions associated with artificial intelligence and our pursuit of the singularity. Radio Motherboard talks to Facebook AI researcher Antoine Bordes about where we are in the development of artificial intelligence right now, and the show brings back our former managing editor Adrianne Jeffries (hi Adrianne!), who now runs our favorite Westworld podcast, called "Out West," over at her lovely new website The Outline. Listen to Out West: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/out-west-westworld-fan-theories/id1167700780?mt=2 And check out The Outline: www.theoutline.com   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hearpeopledie is an offshoot of a subreddit called watchpeopledie, which is for videos of graphic violence. Audio, however, is a little more hardcore. The clips on r/hearpeopledie range from quiet moments of legal assisted suicide to the violent death of someone being hit by a car. Adrianne Jeffries wanted to understand why people listen to these recordings, and what draws some gore fans to audio in particular. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dear Reader, I write you from the future. A future where Episode 70 is hailed as a prescient and important document that refocused our society's priorities. Josh sat down with Adrianne Jeffries, a senior editor at The Outline and former editor and reporter for Motherboard and The Verge, and what happened changed history forever. Do you know how insignificant your silly phone updates are to us, your children's children's children? They aren't even a blip in our history books! You're impressed by Twitter and messaging stickers when somewhere in the world people are perfecting gene editing techniques? Preposterous! The only person who truly knew what was important was Adrianne. Absorb her wisdom and be better for it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
