Google hardware event confirmed for October 9 in NYC, Google Pixel 3 (and more) expected

Google has just sent out invites to the press for a hardware event in New York City, and just as rumored it will take place on October 9.

After a years-long court battle, a Manhattan judge ruled last year that strip clubs can no long­er operate under the so-called 60-40 rule, which allowed the mammary meccas to keep on shimmying in otherwise restricted zones as long as 60 percent of the club was used for “non-adult” entertainment, such as a restaurant. Explained one top club owner: “Last year was the last hurrah. That’s the end of 60-40.” But he said that the city has not been enforcing the zoning code — until now. “The hammer is coming down on this; it’s only weeks or months away. There are 20, give or take, clubs acting in New York — this law could get them down to between four and eight.” That has left some clubs scrambling to expand to new locations, not in residential are...
