In this episode we talk about:

• Georgia HB 509


• taking down the Internet with a typo


• how startup unicorns are delaying or avoiding going public


• how the CIA is spying on you with your TV


• how a shipping company is increasing security and reliability while reducing cost with blockchain


• and the new way to get a (not always cheap) ride around Austin
