Today's Story Highlights

Uber's New Express Pool: Walk and Wait
Uber has launched a new service that lowers ride-sharing costs for
customers who are willing to walk to and from designated locations.
Express Pool became available this week in several participating cities.
Passengers must walk a short distance to a pickup intersection. They are
then dropped off at another designated spot, close to their final
destination.

Gadgets: A Different Sort of Activity Tracker and a Smartwatch for Kids
More often than I'd care to admit, I feel the seconds, minutes, and
hours of a day slip into the ether before I realize it's happening. When
it's time for bed and I try to take stock of my day, it's difficult to
recall exactly how I spent my time. As someone who would like to be more
efficient and productive, I think Timeflip seems like a terrific way to
keep track of where my time goes.

Suse, AWS Nudge SAP Customers to the Cloud
Suse recently entered an agreement to expand its relationship with AWS,
allowing Suse Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications to be sold
directly on the AWS Marketplace. AWS customers that are running SAP
workloads on Suse Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications -- a
leading platform for SAP Hana and SAP S/4Hana -- will get integrated and
streamlined support from AWS and Suse.

Russian Twitter Trolls Exploit Florida School Shooting
Within an hour of the shooting at a Florida High School last week,
divisive messages began pouring out of Twitter accounts believed to be
controlled by Russia. At a rapid speed, messages reportedly began
flooding Twitter using popular hashtags to exploit the rampage by a lone
gunman with an assault rifle at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
in Parkland, Florida.

Silicon Valley's Corrupt Underbelly: It's Far Worse Than We Thought
After addressing the topic of sexual harassment and misconduct in
Silicon Valley last month, I finally got my hands on a copy of Brotopia
, an eye-opening new book, and a lot of executives should be happy I did
not pursue my career in law enforcement. Otherwise I would be working my
butt off to get them off the streets behind bars. Everyone connected to
tech should read this book.
