About Nilay Patel
When Nilay Patel was four years old, he drove a Chrysler into a small pond because he was trying to learn how the gearshift worked. Years later, he became a technology journalist. He has thus far remained dry.
Nilay was a co-founder of The Verge and the site's first Managing Editor before taking over as Editor-in-Chief. He also was the acting Managing Editor for the launch of Vox.com. Before that, he spent four years as Managing Editor of Engadget, where he drew upon his background as a lawyer to report and explain complex legal situations in everyday terminology — a niche that led to SAY Media naming Nilay one of 10 "voices that matter" in technology journalism.
Nilay co-hosts the Webby Award-winning Vergecast podcast, and has appeared on CNN, CNN International, NPR, Fox News, MSNBC, Sky News, NHK, G4TV, TWiT, and many others.
Nilay received an AB in Political Science from the University of Chicago in 2003 and his J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2006. He is also married to a major babe.

This is good feedback, and it’s interesting because the reason we broke out those two sections is that so people like yourself could ignore them — and people who like them can focus on them. Both are healthy and growing (Circuit Breaker is a monster on Facebook already!) and we’ll keep evolving them alongside their audiences over time. Just like The Verge itself.

No, all the episodes of the aftershow will be on YouTube afterwards. But the show itself is live.

I was trying to get at this when I said it was slightly better on Android, but a lot of this UI is fiddly, hidden, and difficult to understand. It’s all steps in the right direction, and definitely the foundation of something better, but I don’t think the average person is going to do all of this stuff. I think you’re right, AI has to get involved here. Computers need to be smarter!

Clearly the only thing to do here is race.
