Removable batteries for sure, but I spent 20 years waiting for the clamshell design to make a comeback and I love my Flip (4). Phones need to fit in pockets and have a decent sized screen.

They could certainly do with a control group or three. The point they're trying to make is that over 5 days of watching recommended videos the proportion that were misogynistic grew from 13% on day 1 to 52% on day 5. That suggests a disproportionate algorithmic boost but it's hard to tell how much that was caused by the videos they chose to view.

A real world trial ought to be possible. You could recruit thousands of kids to just do their own thing and report back. It's a very hard question to study in the lab because it's nothing like the real world.

Here's the BBC report.

It is absolutely true that accusations of antisemitism are very frequently blown up out of all proportion, in the most antisemitic way, by declaring all Jews loyal to Israel etc etc.

But in this case it seems she was spreading hateful conspiracy theories, not just sticking up for Palestine.

And the difference matters a great deal. A lot of people don't seem to be able to argue the Palestinian case without denying the very reason for Israel's existence. It's a despicable failure of analysis. The Palestinians are paying the price for Europe's crimes and, instead of pointing that out, these braindead liberals are playing exactly the game Netanyahu wants them to.

Good riddance.

I spend hours and hours a week in video meetings. If the scammers had access to the footage, it's easily done. Easier, even, given that all the available footage would be from the right context.

Not really.

The valuations under consideration demonstrate the extent of tech’s retreat from the heady days of the private funding boom that peaked in 2021. Reddit raised funds that year at a $10 billion valuation, and could potentially have been valued as much as $15 billion in an IPO, Bloomberg News reported in 2022.

I'd like to think we all had a little bit to do with it also.

It's a publisher, not a book store FWIW.

Why do you think "there" is meaningfully different from "here"?

And almost all of that private pension wealth is held by the richest 10%, barely any by the poorest 50%.

Stop mugging yourself off.

The unelaborated history being the banning of the Palestinian flag, the colours of which are in a watermelon (green, red, white and black). Hence the watermelon being a symbol of defiance in Palestine.

It makes no sense to convert nuclear power into hydrogen, it's massively inefficient. (Green) hydrogen is of interest precisely because sun and wind availability varies. It's a good way to store the excess when an excess is inevitable.

It clearly does make sense to make the most of existing nuclear capacity , it does not make sense to build more nuclear. It costs billions and takes decades to come online, the same billions spent on solar and wind starts producing power immediately.

Those boots must be real tasty.

I don't know anything about the technical side of this. But I would (possibly naively) think that it would be simpler to have a filter that you could automatically apply to sift bog-standard search engine results for Fediverse instances? Like adding "site:uk" to the end of a normal search, except that your filter term would check a list of Fediverse instances to return the relevant results.

And make it an app/add-on so that people can use it with their usual search strategies.
