It has been at least a decade since I've had my electricity turned off for non-payment. The trauma of living like that still lives in my body. Sometimes when the central air conditioning in my house cycles "off" I have a moment of panic, somehow feeling fear in the back of my mind even tho now I am safe and well. Anyhow. 🌸
Spur Intelligence has raised a $200 million round from Insight Partners for its tech that can identify legit human traffic from bots.
