>he should’ve faced his accusers in Sweden

He cooperated fully with the investigation remotely.

He maintains that he has long been informed of the existence of the secret US charges from credible sources.

What compels a person to sacrifice his life for the sake of an investigation where the prosecutor is not even able to bring charges?

He was also targeted in 2016 using an obviously contrived Bahamian pedophelia accusation. Should he have a moral obligation to sacrifice himself for that investigation as well?

-em- (from haem-) just means blood. -ia should be interpreted as "condition". Presence isn't indicated.
That is a cop out from Facebook and any social media company if there was any. The algorithmic feed that drives more engagement drives their user base to be more extreme.

It is also hypocritical of Facebook employees who were quiet when worse atrocities were happening in other parts of the world where their platform is "the only source of truth" (read Myanmar / Philippines).
My gosh, thanks for posting this! It's been very frustrating watching hearing loss affect my older family members and seeing how bad the hearing aid situation is. The OTC Act + the updated Audio spec looks like the right solution!
I find it incredible that some people enjoy liquorice (the stuff tastes vile to me).
Ironically, I know some people that think the same of me when I tell them I love cilantro.
Correct me if I am wrong but the advocacy group is essentially arguing that let me use your platform (marketplace) services and get a free ride doing so. Kind of like taking an Uber where at the end of the ride the driver just says: "you know what, lets ditch Uber, pull out your credit card and settle between the two of us. And I will charge you much lower!!" Aha.
The quip I threw out regarding 'tan suits and arugula' was not random; both were outrage incidents manufactured by conservative media in relation to President Obama.

Conservatives manufactured a moral panic over how Obama was unfit for office because he wore a tan suit in public and how he was out of touch with 'real Americans' because he ate arugula.

In contrast, most non-conservatives are disgusted at Trump because of his cruelty towards others, his failure to address COVID-19, the fact that violated democratic norms to put himself in office, and the fact that he is taking steps to rig the 2020 election in his favor.

The kind of scandals that conservatives created around Obama (such as tan suits and arugula) are not equivalent to the actual scandals that surround Trump.

It may seem that way but I am 100% sincere. Of course, those questions are rhetorical because I know what the answer I will hear is and I believe the same answer applies to Apple. If you believe that rules apply to one multi-billion dollar company but not to another, I want you to at least sweat a little bit in defending it because it sounds absolutely ridiculous to me. The conclusion I'm seeing is that if you want to be a consumer-hostile monopoly, you better do it in a market that's bigger than all other forms of entertainment but isn't critical to day-to-day life like, say, video games.
What city are you in, if you don't mind me asking? Seriously considering the move to Tangier.
I tend to agree with this line of thinking, but I wonder if banning advertising wont have similar difficulties. There will be more sneaky product placement, anonymous donations to podcasters who tend to promote certain products/beliefs/etc.

I say this not because I think we should just give up and not ban advertising but because I'm curious how it might be done effectively.

I always took it in a different way. Prince is speaking to that human thing in all of us that wants to experience something greater than what we currently are. Prince's music is very spiritual. Humans have always wanted to fly and have always gotten in trouble, the story of Icarus is how old at this point?

IMHO Prince is one of the biggest musical geniuses to ever live. His songs are very multi-layered and insightful.
I typically hate licorice but love anise pizzelles.
My understanding is that this is precisely the sort of behavior that the customary "political crimes" exemption in extradition treaties is supposed to cover. Things like espionage, treason, separatism and other crimes against the state are inherently political. The UK-US extradition treaty also explicitly states that in the case of politically motivated prosecution, no extradition can occur.

> I fail to see how making your product as addictive as you can, without breaking laws, is terrible.

I think it's important to be clear about "addictive" because people use it in different ways. If by "addictive" you mean "really compelling" then, sure, it may not be intrinsically terrible. A product that, for example, makes it really compelling for users to improve their physical health or fight climate is probably not terrible.

But the clinical definition of "addiction" which is why "addiction" has a strong negative connotation is that for something that is so compelling that your need to use it causes significant disruption to your quality of life of that of those around you.

Read the testimony again. The argument here is not just that Facebook is super engaging. It's that Facebook use harms its users and the world at large and its level of engagement magnifies that.
I really like your answer to my comment here.

It's on a totally different level than just crying 'fake'.

I think it is quite possible that for some behaviours humans tend to prefer to always use their own judgement, while the opposite is true for other behaviours.

We see a massive parallel experiment about this with some things that happen on Twitter or TikTok. And this goes from putting a bucket of ice over your head to the reaction to some political statement.

To have a catalogue of the cognitive biases we have as humans and which behaviours are more susceptible to this effect would be a hugely useful dataset.

You make it sound as if there was no market for phone applications before the iphone, which at least in europe is not true.

And the punishment would not be because a company succeeds, but because a company abuses its success position to stiffle competition and artificially placing their other offerings in a better place.
What? This literally makes no sense, lol.

Edit: I see the confusion now. emilsedgh, you, and I all agree. I thought emilsedgh was saying the opposite of what they wrote.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 22, 24, 30, 32, 33, 40, 44, 48, 55, 60, 66, 80, 88, 96, 110, 120, 132, 160, 165, 176, 220, 240, 264, 330, 352, 440, 480, 528, 660, 880, 1056, 1320, 1760, 2640.

5040 is of course well-known as one of the most factorable numbers of all time:

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 36, 40, 42, 45, 48, 56, 60, 63, 70, 72, 80, 84, 90, 105, 112, 120, 126, 140, 144, 168, 180, 210, 240, 252, 280, 315, 336, 360, 420, 504, 560, 630, 720, 840, 1008, 1260, 1680, 2520.

But 5280 isn't bad. And it gets 11, though it misses 7 and 9. 5040 only misses 11 out of 1-12.

5000 is pathetic. 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 125, 200, 250, 500, 625, 1000, 1250, 2500.
As an Android user, DAE wish we could see some similar collaboration across some of the vendors running downstream forks? The Apple tax comes up a lot, but there's a whole separate conversation to be had about Google Play APIs as a major choke point rendering other Android implementations "incompatible."
I disagree somewhat. The addiction argument is merely an extreme.

Suppose someone offered to mow your lawn for free. Great offer, so you take them up on it. Turns out they're also using the access you give them to mine gold you didn't know was in your backyard. Whether or not you were addicted to their mowing services is irrelevant, they're stealing from you.

The problem with Facebook is that they're taking your attention and monetizing it. There's no serious argument against requiring them to disclose their actions - particularly who is buying your attention. It doesn't make any difference if you're addicted or a mere user of their product, they're still using your attention without telling you. They simply know more about science.

It sounds like this person was already on an EXTREMELY bad diet. I have personally known construction workers who live off of three square meals of gas station junk food for weeks at a time.
> this number of completly inexperienced user is not proven to be as large, if you look at Android or OSX you don't see 51% of users having malware on their machine

> "protecting" an unknown small number of users by limiting the rest makes no sense, what makes more sense is MONEY

For creating policies 51% is a bad measure. Its inherently biased to be regressive. Setting policies at 51% disproportionately hurts the bottom 1%, 10% and 25% of the populations that need our help the most. This is true of all policies and especially laws.

Meanwhile, if you've ever helped your grandma or parents with their computers, you'll realize just how much malware they have already downloaded. I also remember what I was like on Limewire and Kazaa as a kid. There is/was an entire industry built around it for Anti-virus and Malware protection.

iOS doesn't require anti-virus or malware protection because Apple builds protection and privacy into the product as a core feature. Sadly, built into Android is malware but even Android is less susceptible to malware from unknown entities.
It is such a delicious flavor. Mmmmm... Red licorice is a scam!
> It’s not a fundamental problem with nuclear power as both China and Russia build new reactors safe and economically.

Well, they've built them.

Even unsafe nuclear plants (at least historically) are higher frequency of still-rare but potentially-catastrophic failures, not regular failures that are likely to be obvious after a handful of years of a small number of reactors being in operation, its far from clear that they do so safely. (And, since neither of these regimes favors transparency, its not like you can easily externally analytically assess likely safety, either, and even the economics before considering safety may be less clear than they superficially seem.)

But, yes, getting things done that some currently-in-power faction would prefer is more complicatdd in systems in which the dominant faction is constrained by competing power bases rather than free to run roughshod over them. Though that's not something that has recently changed, its always been true, and those constraints have been a feature of the West for centuries, and most people in the West consider it a feature, not a bug; what is new in regard to nuclear power since the 1950s is that there are both more alternatives and more understanding that it has risks at all.
Any other clinical trials that you can recommend ? Has the path from clinical trials to commercial launch shortened ?
I am a huge fan of liquorice and have been for years but had no idea it could cause hypertension. Since my favorite type is the really salty Dutch kind, I did wonder if that made it worse. However, one of the symptoms is hypokalemia (low potassium) and I think the Dutch salt is potassium based so maybe it's actually helpful. He said, optimistically.
It is a Hobson’s Choice
> if there were a viable market, it would already be manufactured. There's no profit to be made, so why would anyone bother?

Big market, not super-complex tech, it's only matter of time when cheap solution comes.
Perhaps the real issue is just that - you give people far too much credit. We're essentially animals.

I mean look around you. You could say "no we can't tax sugar, cigarettes, and alcohol, because that gives the people too little credit to make good healthy choices!" And yet 42% of Americans are obese. Anti-science and anti-vax culture is very relevant. People believe Bill Gates wants to track their every move, and yet they walk around with phones and are signed into facebook trading their photoshopped memes from Russian troll farms.

We give ourselves way too much credit.

I had to look up most of those names but if you're wondering, looking back a couple weeks it's usually 9/10 or 10/10 right-wing talk hosts/sources.

It appears FB is essentially a right-wing mouth piece, idk if that is a controversial opinion, but the data appears that way, I think.
You can buy deglycyrrhized licorice. Example:

This product is usually used to improve health, not for its taste (though it does taste good IME), and does not contain sugar.

The best I can come up with is having the press being their opposition that pokes and prods and calls them out when they see wrong being done. That's what this is, essentially. For maximum harm, you could simple release to the public and spread propaganda. For critical evaluation, leaking to the press is quite normal, I believe.
I stopped using Facebook because I agree that it's a net negative for the world.

For what it's worth, I don't have that experience with Twitter. There, I seem to have enough control over who I follow and whose tweets Twitter shows me that my Twitter use is generally beneficial and healthy to me. Despite trying very hard to do so, I was never able to tune my Facebook feed to be healthy in that way.
It is. 50% of youth unemployment in Spain for example.
This is a cool startup. I was learning frontend code throughout 2020 using another online learning platform who I won't name because I don't want to dilute the purpose of this post.

My biggest issue with these companies is they don't provide a pathway to go from education to IMO what is truly the hardest part of the process: landing your first entry level position.

I ended up hiring an ex-tech lead / senior dev to mentor my personal development. He helped guide me through the job application process and suggested technical areas for me to strengthen. He gave me tips to increase my visibility to companies, the same ones he did as a junior. I would imagine there's thousands of people who finished some bootcamp/online curriculum and are lost trying to find their first technical job.

I would've loved for a company with a learning platform to help fast-track new graduates to applying to entry level positions especially given the platform acting as a first filter.

The US doesn't need to make a case against him. They just need to make an accusation in most cases, and that's enough to extradite. What you're missing is, the US has the ability to declare him an enemy combatant, and stuff him in Guantanamo Bay. The US claims there is no right to due process there. The US Gov could lock him away forever with no trial and that's that.
Doesn't addiction mean "compulsive consumption after habituation," as in the original enjoyment has worn off, but if you stop doing it you will experience a hangover ?
In order for the decline in smoking to remain linear, you must convince people who are increasingly less likely to quit. Consistent .5% decline is (weak) evidence for the effectiveness of efforts to combat smoking, not the opposite.

I don't know if that impacts your larger point with regards to nicotine addiction in general, but I think it's worth noting.

The article doesn't immediately explain how people are changing the design of their icons, from kid-style doodles to flat black.

---

I had to dig around to see how it was happening. So for anyone curious about it, here is the general process.

1. Take the app you want to change the icon for, long press it and "Move to App Library". This will keep it installed, but hide it from the main screens.

2. Launch the "Shortcuts" app (pre-installed on iOS) and create a new shortcut.

3. While creating a new shortcut, select the "Add Action" button, then select "scripting", and then select "Open App"

4. Now the shortcut will read "Open [Choose]". Select the "Choose" link and find the app that you previously moved to the App Library.

5. That is all that your shortcut will do, is simply open an app when invoked.

6. Before saving, click the Ellipses icon (the circle with 3 horizontal dots in it) that is located near the top-right of the card, across from "New Shortcut"

7. Click "Add to Home Screen"

8. This will open another card that allows you to customize the home screen presence. Give the icon the name that matches the app

9. Tap the app icon, and select "Choose Photo". Find the photo of the app icon you want to use (you will need to previously have saved this to your phone)

10. Finally select "Add" on the top right of the screen. This will put an app icon of your custom design on your home screen that you can move around as you wish, like a normal app. When pressed, it simply opens the app you tied it to. Essentially acting as an alias for the app.

Now you will need to repeat these steps for every app that you want to customize the icon for.

Here are some visual instructions I found if you are having trouble following along: https://icons.tr.af/how

---

Of course all the items that are bigger than the size of an app icon are iOS 14's new widget features. These are mostly supplied by your favorite apps. However the highly customized ones are created in an app called "Widgetsmith" (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/widgetsmith/id1523682319).

This app appears to let you create widgets through a WYSIWYG editor on your phone. Although I have not fully used it, so I am not sure how creative you can get with it, but based on the screenshots it looks like you can definitely customize colors of standard functions like weather and clock widgets to decorate your homescreen.

So there you go. That is how this all seems to work. I am curious now to customize my homescreen more, now that I have seen how creative you can get. I probably won't worry about every screen, but it would be fun to customize the first page with something that suits my personality.
Practically speaking, he can worry about it when that happens. If it becomes a problem, he can rewrite the whole thing. He wrote it in the first place.
Yeah, you know what; the flu has long term health complications as well. Ask me how I know this: I got the flu in 2014 and still have health complications from it -probably will until I eventually drop dead. It's a bummer, but that's life. I also don't demand we shut down civilization and destroy the economic lives and mental health of hundreds of millions to prevent spread of the flu, though it would have been nice if the plague doctor sitting next to me on the airliner didn't sneeze on my eyeball.

The "long term health complications" thing is, until someone comes up with an actual count rather than terror scare stories in trash news, mostly a figment of people's lurid imaginations. Just like the early reports of world-ending infection fatality rates.
The analogy only works if the only way to get to your destination was to use Uber. iOS doesn't allow app installs outside of the store.
