Revel has shut down its ride-hailing service in New York City, in yet another pivot for the company that started out by renting electric scooters in 2019. Moving forward, Revel will instead focus on its nascent EV charging business, which includes operating five stations in New York and one in San Francisco. A visit to Revel’s app on Monday showed a message thanking users for “riding with us the last 4 years!” and announcing it has “permanently closed our rideshare service.” Revel’s website ech

Flowers of Fealty: Commemoration of the Christening of Elisabeth of Hesse (1598)

One suspects these botanical additions were meant to stage a conversation with the original manuscript. A dedicatory Latin poem wishes the princess happiness and that she continue “growing for a long time like a little blossom”, while the accompanying watercolor marginalia shows various flowers in full spring bloom. On the next page, the poem envisions the princess’s honorable name “flourishing” in the land and bringing forth flowers — verse that is framed by racemes of asphodels. There are text

Just because I like Pixels doesn’t mean I hate Samsung

It’s one of the oldest rivalries in the consumer world: Coke vs Pepsi. If I told you I prefer Coke, would you then assume I hate Pepsi? Any sane person would answer “no” to that question. “It’s just a preference,” they’d say. For some reason, though, that same logic doesn’t always seem to apply in the tech world, especially when it comes to smartphones.
