People have been complaining about the shallowness and lack of travel of the new keyboard since it came out on the new MacBook, but it's really been an issue once professionals were forced into it on their MacBook Pros.
So this has been going on for some time, I see. It just seemed like a coincidence that he was railing on it for an hour and then I see this today. His shows get like 5 million views, so it seems probable he could steer a conversation.
It's considered a shadow profile because they create a profile that nobody can see that aggregates data about the user. It's more than just the mutual contacts.
When people upload their contacts to Facebook to "find friends by phone or email" Facebook takes the phone numbers and email addresses of people who do not have Facebook accounts and associates them with a shadow profile. If multiple people upload contacts and have this same phone number and email address of a person, they can associate any other data uploaded (obviously name, birthday, address, other social media profile URLs?) with the same shadow profile. When the person creates an account using an email address or phone number tied to the shadow account, they already have a reasonable amount of data on the peson, including every user who has them in their contacts and others on those social graphs so that they probably know what school the user went to and current/past employers.
The New York Times is reporting that they were also able to collect likes, because this was back when likes could be harvested through the API. Through likes alone, they could supposedly determine race, gender, sexual orientation, and other physical and mental traits/preferences with surprising accuracy.
Yes, but the problem is that Facebook's API also allowed lax access to your friend data, so people who had not consented to the collection of their data through this app ended up with their data harvested as well.
Also, there are various ethical issues with the users consenting to provide data under the guise of academics and then the data being turned over to commercial and political interests.
There are currently small operations that offer wireless broadband by putting the receiving equipment on your roof (sometimes they give you a discount if you serve as a repeater) and they purchase wireless data from larger companies' cell towers.
Yes. I've fought this battle with Logitech wireless devices for years since I upgraded to a 15" MacBook Pro with retina (USB 3 only, no USB 2) and added a USB 3.0 hub. It's impossible to put the dongle in a USB port that doesn't incur massive interference. I've even tried using USB extension cables. It's terrible.
EDIT: I came across this whitepaper when looking into the problem a few years ago and just accepted that performance of wireless mice and keyboards is going to be bad. I haven't yet seen any good bluetooth replacements. Most of the bluetooth keyboards I see are smaller without 10-key. I think I had a bluetooth mouse at one point and the lag was unbearable (given, this was years ago, so maybe they're better now).
Yes on copy and paste, though you have to use a text box in the browser window (a menu on the left side) to mess with the clipboard. It's not ideal, but it's possible.
I cannot remember drag & drop files off the top of my head, but I seem to think no.
The preference for chicken breast in the US is because of the "low fat" focus of the past several decades. Chicken breasts have been promoted as a high protein/low fat cornerstone of a meat-eater's diet.
I also wonder if chicken breast consumption has been promoted by the poultry industry because it's easier to increase the size of breasts through breeding and injecting solution than it is other parts of the bird. That means they can produce more pounds of breast (at a higher price) for sale per bird than thighs, wings, or drumsticks.
I think it's both the 80s/90s low-fat push, yes, but also an aversion to eating anything that reminds us it came from an animal. Chicken breast, preferably breaded to make it look even less like something that was ever alive ("nuggets", even better!), pre-sliced turkey breast, cured meats, fish reduced to scale-free filet or stick form, all acceptable. Boneless steak cuts if we want to feel exotic and wild (cooked to medium if we really want that cave-man experience, of course—medium-well otherwise).
Bones, skin, limb-shaped things in general, organs certainly, blood, any recognizable bits really (heads on fish, oh man, that's right out) are to be rejected with expressions of disgust.
Outside the serious hunting/fishing set and self-identified (in their own minds at least) cultured and/or foodie folks, this is the norm as far as I can tell.
Convenience alone could also account for all of the examples you mention. You can see the same trend in non-animal products as well - my wife just brought home a pack of pudding twice as expensive because it's in an "easy to eat" pouch that doesn't require a spoon, unlike a normal pudding cup.
Still waiting for Sous Vide machines to get cheaper! I know they're regularly between $100-$150 on sale, i.e. Anova, but it's still too expensive to take the plunge for me.
As far as the fatal design flaw, the earliest occurrence I know of bringing it out into the open is when Casey Johnston wrote about it for The Outline in October of last year: https://theoutline.com/post/2402/the-new-macbook-keyboard-is...
Edit to add: Casey championing this issue is mentioned in the originally linked article.
