What stage of capitalism is this?
DoorDash is partnering with Klarna so users can pay for groceries and takeout in installments. “Buy now, pay later” services like Klarna can be a convenient way to split up big purchases, but can also be debt traps. It’s the type of service the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was looking into — before Elon Musk and the Trump administration began gutting the agency.

Google to pay $28 million to settle discrimination lawsuit.
Filed in 2021, the class action lawsuit accused Google of favoring white and Asian employees by allegedly offering them better pay and career opportunities. The class includes at least 6,632 people in California who worked at Google from February 2018 to December 2024.
Despite reaching a settlement, Google refutes the lawsuit’s claims. “We continue to disagree with the allegations that we treated anyone differently, and remain committed to paying, hiring and levelling all employees fairly,” a Google spokesperson told The Guardian.

TIL that after a decade, Skydio has shipped fewer than 50,000 drones.
“Skydio has produced a total of 45,000 drones,” reports Bloomberg Businessweek, as part of a good profile of the self-flying dronemaker. Skydio spokesperson Kiersten Bagley tells me it’s more than 45,000, but still under 50K.
Am I surprised that a company which pivoted from consumer and still assembles products in pricy Silicon Valley isn’t making more? No — but it shows that Skydio’s still small. The global drone market was already measured in millions back in 2017; DJI has sold over 300,000 agricultural drones alone.
