It would be really great if there was a URL generated with the results of the summary. Then I could save it to Pocket / Reader and it would pass through their integrations to Obsidian.
Assuming it's true that they receive a similar proportion of cash tips from cash purchases as digital tips from digital transactions, I wonder if the variability is substantially greater for cash tips. It seems reasonable to assume pre-selected tip amounts on Square would decrease variability, while cash purchases probably opt for (no tip, resulting coins from change, or bigger bills). The five or ten bill tips mentioned in the article seem awfully high for a coffee purchase... perhaps older, wealthier customers tend to pay cash and tip in bigger bills.
With cash it's more convenient to tip based on the bills you have available vs with a fixed percentage. Maybe some regulars will give a large cash tip some days and a small or no tip on other days, with the idea that it'll even out in the end.
How else are they supposed to report on this if Apple is not even disclosing the revenue they get from advertising? Expert analysis and anonymous sources seem like the most journalistically diligent path they have.
Do we just not report on Apple's ads because they choose not to provide us with first hand information?
> It does nothing to resolve the issue with serotonin levels not causing depression while antidepressants have a proven (slight) positive effect on depressive symptoms. It also doesn't do anything for explaining the effects from antidepressants that affect other things than serotonin.
Agreed it doesn't do these things, but there is value in publicizing the fact that "the idea that depression results from a 'chemical imbalance' is hypothetical." Anecdotally, most people I've encountered that are depressed view the chemical imbalance theory as fact. This has consequences in how they approach treatment (medication-centric) and in how they view their situation (inalterable).
> there is value in publicizing the fact [...] This has consequences in how they approach treatment (medication-centric)
If anything (in my experience) people are too biased against medicine. And as others pointed out, this isn't at all evidence that medicines don't work - their efficacy is based on double-blind studies, not on chemical imbalance hypotheses.
There are many other possible mechanisms that aren't related to the environment. Publicizing studies like this beyond academia is only likely to cause confusion and unfounded anti-medicine sentiment.
> Apple intends to install software on American iPhones to scan for child abuse imagery
> Apple’s neuralMatch algorithm will continuously scan photos that are stored on a US user’s iPhone and have also been uploaded to its iCloud back-up system
Why is there any need for Apple to install software on the iPhone if they are isolating the algorithm to run only on cloud storage, not local images? Not a programmer, so maybe a simple explanation.
Also, if this is isolated to iCloud, won't criminals just start using a different cloud backup provider?
Doesn't really answer your question, but the article says this:
> According to people briefed on the plans, every photo uploaded to iCloud in the US will be given a “safety voucher” saying whether it is suspect or not. Once a certain number of photos are marked as suspect, Apple will enable all the suspect photos to be decrypted and, if apparently illegal, passed on to the relevant authorities.
> So, until the 30-day appeal period (appeals are to the claimant!) expires, some copyright troll is making money off of ads running on our new production of a public domain opera.
Can someone explain how the copyright trolls are able to steal the ad revenue? Do they upload a different video with the "copyrighted" material, or make money off of the one uploaded by the defendant?
Filing the copyright claim requires identifying information from the claimant. If the ad revenue is valuable enough, the posting creator should have a decent case for fraud.
They make money off the one uploaded and inappropriately claimed until they release the claim (and the money) or decline the counter-claim. They also have an option to claim a strike against the flagged work.
