Episode notes

Barcelona has removed a bus route from the map due to over tourism, with Google and Apple complying, effectively making the route exclusive to those informed. This action is an extreme measure to manage the influx of tourists, as the city is wary of becoming overtouristed. However, this removal may have backfired, as it parallels the Streisand effect where attempts to conceal information ironically draw more attention to it, potentially making the bus route more famous despite efforts to erase it.

Episode 304: Neal and Toby chat about the flooding in Dubai and whether cloud seeding has anything to do with it. Then, the Boeing whistleblower has a dire warning for all its planes. Next, Elon Musk wants his payday and it's up to Tesla shareholders to vote whether he gets it or not. Meanwhile, Biden is taking a hard stance against Chinese steel imports in order to protect the U.S. steel industry. Also, Neal shares his numbers on a bus in Barcelona, coins, and Caitlin Clark’s rookie contract. Lastly, the Atlas robot by Boston Dynamics gets an electric makeover.
