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.

I'm ready to sign up for a subscription. Hurry up with that! :)

whoa, good flag! need to start doing this

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.

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).

> 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?

I think the comment was in response to your phrasing:

> 2x the homeless of the US.

to me that reads as total homeless population, not a function of population.

> 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?
