Cory Doctorow describes how software platform technologies go wrong and what it might look like when our homes and vehicles are on those platforms.

Interesting post on how regulatory capture at the local level aggravates income inequality
America's fucked up housing market is one of the biggest drivers of wealth inequality right now. Over the same time period that mortgages are skyrocketing, the poor are getting poorer while the rich get richer.
