We lost another one of the greats today.

Jump They Say was my favorite David Bowie song until I was introduced to Queen Bitch in college.¹

9to5Mac reports that iOS 9.3 will introduce a multi-user option for iPads used in classrooms.

Presumably, multi-user support will come to all iPads eventually since it seems like their usage patterns more closely resembles the shareable Mac model and not the highly personal iPhone.

I’ll root for anything which might improve the fortunes of iPad sales.

Without question, what happened to Teresa Halbach was horrifying. Without question, Halbach and her family deserve justice. But the entire premise behind the presumption of innocence is that, on balance, a society that punishes someone without sufficient proof is worse than a society that lets a murderer, let alone an innocent man, go free. So while the idea of a killer on the loose is scary, the idea of a system that can rob people of their freedom whenever and wherever it wants — that cases like these don’t just happen in Manitowoc County, and don’t just happen to Steven Avery — is scarier still. That’s what we ought to be obsessing over.

– Alison Herman on Netflix’s Making a Murder

Dean Strang, Defense attorney and hero of Netflix’s documentary Making a Murderer, on his former client, Steven Avery:

I remain really haunted by deep doubts that he’s guilty… I really do fear that here is an innocent man in prison wrongly the second time. I wasn’t there, I don’t know that he’s innocent. I can’t claim that. I just know that I’ve never been convinced by anything close to removing a reasonable doubt that he’s guilty.

While market forces do have a logic and power of their own, they are neither irrefutable nor divine. They can be tamed; they can be thwarted. Other values, like fairness or social cohesion, are sometimes more important.

Neoliberalism is not destiny, in other words. It can be made to bend to the will of the people — no matter what Uber’s friends in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street, and in the halls of government want you to believe.

Charles Pierce on the Bundy Family Oregon Standoff:

There is a constituency for armed rebellion in this country that is larger than any of our respectable political and social institutions want to admit. It is fueled by reckless, ambitious people who engage in reckless, ambitious rhetoric.

Beautiful (and kind of intimidating) post from Cathy O’Neil.
