As Snap, Inc.’s stock price has skyrocketed over the past year, nearly all of the social media company’s top executives have spent lavishly on big new homes. The chief business officer bought a house, the chief strategy officer bought a house, and a cofounder added another house to his collection. Even the firm’s top lawyer got in on the real estate action.Now the longtime CEO is having his turn. Earlier this year, Evan Spiegel forked over $30.4 million for a baroque estate in Paris, France, where the 31-year-old and his wife Miranda Kerr live part-time. The couple’s main residence remains Los Angeles; the pair have bunked up in a celeb-pedigreed Brentwood estate for the past five years, but it seems that place can no longer accommodate the growing family’s needs. And so Spiegel is spending north of $100 million to buy a titanic — and currently unfinished — compound in Holmby Hills, one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Los Angeles. With a net worth of $14 billion, he can well afford it.The complicated transaction involves two side-by-side properties across the street from the Playboy Mansion, both of them sold by English billionaire Ian Livingstone.

It’s a tactic men use to keep a steady hookup without the adult responsibility of having a partner. And it leaves women who want to be exclusive feeling like it’s “too crazy” to ask for just that. When confronted, a situationship-loving guy will simply respond that he’s “just not ready for a relationship.” Eventually, one person catches feelings and faces heartbreak when the other doesn’t want anything more than just some casual sex. Audrey Peters, 24, knows a thing or two about situationships after being in one for years in college. She wanted a relationship, but he only wanted to hang out after hours. “I was like, ‘Why won’t he make it official? Why is he embarrassed to talk about it?’ ” said Peters, who lives in Manhattan. “I just couldn’t compute it.” It was a classic case of mixed signals: telling her he loved her when he was drunk, but avoiding her around their friends when he was sober.…

Covington Police Detective Rob Fain said an online feud on Snapchat between Hambrick and his cousin, Seay's younger brother lead up to the shooting.

Snapchat wants to replace Google as the destination for certain urgent day-to-day questions, such as “What dog breed is black, brown, and has jowls.” Or “What to make with kohlrabi.” How? With its freshly upgraded, augmented reality-powered Scan feature, which rolled out yesterday, The Verge reports. The visual search feature lets users take pictures of certain things—e.g. cats, plants, vegetables—and generate information and/or recommendations. For instance, using Scan’s new shopping feature, you can point your camera at a piece of clothing you like, and Snapchat will recommend similar items. Prior to its makeover...Snap Scan could identify songs, solve math problems, and clock items available for sale on Amazon. In addition to expanding what’s scannable, Snap is placing the feature smack in the middle of its app to juice engagement: Snap says Scan currently has 170+ million monthly active users. Zoom out: Insider Intelligence principal analyst Victoria Petrock told Emerging Tech Brew that we’ll soon see more tech like this, which aims to actually...you know, augment reality. She also noted that Google, Amazon, Pinterest, and even startups like RedLaser already have similar tools.“Now that it's possible with Snapchat we might see the younger user base using and maybe it will catch on more…
