Cuffing season is in full swing and Tinder wants to make sure all of you hopeless romantics have the best experience on the platform.

The dating app rolled out some new features aimed at boosting safety and making your browsing time more enjoyable. 

So what's new? One of the new features users can expect to find on the app is the incognito mode. This feature allows users to hide their profiles from the general public -- sort of. In this mode, users can still swipe left or right on a potential interest but their profiles will only be visible to accounts they have liked.

Tinder has also introduced a new block profile feature. It does exactly what it sounds like and lets a user curate exactly what profiles they would like to see.

While you might have swiped left on a profile before, the algorithm might let that profile slip back into your potential matches after some time. Now, users can block a profile so they don't show up again.

Long press reporting is also a new feature that lets users report bad behavior. You can tap and hold an offensive message to report it to Tinder so that the app can take proper action.

There are also some updated changes coming to the app's 'Does This Bother You Feature.' It is expanding the language in its terms of service that clearly identifies instances of hate speech, sexual exploitation and harassment.

Starbucks’ Change Flushes Out a Debate Over Public Restroom Access
Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
Trump Highlights Partnership Investing $500 Billion in AI
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
