Fyre Festival is set to return for round two next spring, this time on a privately owned island off Mexico. McFarland said he hopes to gather 3,000 people for Fyre Fest II, scheduled for April 25-28. Whereas he gave himself only six months from the idea for the first Fyre Fest to its attempted execution, McFarland said, he has spent a full year working on Fyre Fest II, with more than seven months to go.

The noise-canceling ones include a feature called "Conversation Awareness" — and it could change the way we talk to each other. (This feature debuted last fall with the AirPods Pro models.) Isn't it, you know, kind of rude to keep your AirPods in while talking to someone — even if the sound is turned down? So how do you tell if someone is wearing their AirPods to help them hear, or is just being rude? So maybe the norm around wearing AirPods even while talking in real life should change — and will help normalize using AirPods as hearing aids.

From the moment Paul Graham dropped his essay on "founder mode," people online analyzed it like a stone tablet found bearing the new commandment of startupdom. But there's one group that has been privately wrestling with "founder mode" since before it had a meme-able name: female founders. Four female founders told Business Insider that a stark double standard prevents them from operating their startups as their male counterparts do. Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd wrote on Instagram that she was "in founder mode for 10 years and got attacked for it every single day." But unlike female founders, he and Neumann, the WeWork founder, enjoy the luxury of being given second chances by investors.
