Steve Nash, who has met me at a court in Manhattan Beach on a cloudy Monday afternoon to shoot free throws, glances over and chuckles at his miss. "It's been a while," he says. When he retired from the NBA in 2015, Nash, a two-time MVP, left with a career average 90.43 percent from the line--the highest in league history. But he hasn't worked on his foul shot since. For an instant, I feel anxious for him.

Gay dating app Scruff has banned images of men in underwear or swimming trunks, after it was suspended from the Google Play app store several times. Scruff said it had changed its profile picture rules after "repeated suspensions by app store distributors" but declined to specify which stores. The app was most recently suspended from Google Play in January, when it disappeared for three days. Google told BBC News it did not comment on individual apps. Several Scruff members responded to the policy change on social media, threatening to delete their accounts.

Executive Vice President Terry Myerson, who ran the Windows business, will leave the company, according to an internal email from Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella on Thursday. The move is designed to focus Microsoft on its biggest areas of growth. In its latest quarter Azure revenue jumped 98% while Office 365 grew 41%, though the company doesn't give totals for those segments. In the same period, the More Personal Computing unit, which includes Windows, gained 2% to $12.17 billion. "Having a deep sense of customers' unmet and unarticulated needs must drive our innovation," Mr. Nadella said in the email he sent to employees Thursday morning.

Future Tense is a partnership of Slate, New America, and Arizona State University that examines emerging technologies, public policy, and society. The revelation this week that dating app Tinder lacks basic encryption--meaning someone could discover whose profile you've viewed and which way you're swiping--has sparked some understandable alarm and outrage. The reality is even scarier: It's not a new discovery, and it's not just Tinder. Though Checkmarx, the security company that demonstrated the issue this week, reportedly notified Tinder back in November, Wired reports, its use of HTTP instead of the more secure HTTPS hasn't changed. Users' photos are still fetched via an unencrypted connection, meaning anyone else on the network--say, someone sitting in the same cafe--can intercept them, revealing the swiper's sexual and dating preferences.

When Facebook announced a tweak to its news feed algorithm Wednesday, dating apps were put in a bind. The change that would soon prioritize friends' posts over those from publishers quickly led media industry types to declare it, once again, the end of media. But Facebook's decision doesn't solely affect news outlets. More than 50 million businesses use Facebook Pages -- from big brands like McDonald's and Nike to small shop owners to startups building the next top smartphone app. The downgrade could encourage more page owners to pay Facebook to boost their posts into the news feeds of users.
