Link. Like Putin’s party but more bullets.
If Facebook was your OAUTH supplier you should worry.
Link. This looks worse and worse.
Nutrition science plagued by p-hacking
Link. Mostly nonsense. Ioannidis on the case. I’m getting a worse feeling about this. World has too many scientists.
iOS restrictions – see the very few added for iOS 12.
Link. No new media content or app restrictions. There’s an API to force time to always be set automatically, which defeats a parent control screen time workaround.
iTunes photo sync with iOS 12 iPad still broken with large volume image transfers.
Link. It’s ok for a few hundred, breaks in the thousands.
Google Family Link restrictions end at puberty – NYT 2017 coverage.
Link. Sometimes I miss “family values” GOP/Evangelicals. (They sold their soul to Trump, now we laugh at them.)
Google Family Link: “teenagers have the ability to stop supervision at any time”
Link. I wonder what legal basis is for this. They refer to “age of consent”, but in US “consent to sexual activity” ranges from 16 to 18.
Google G Suite includes mobile device management for iOS devices.
Link. A service that Apple doesn’t offer.
Syncing photos to iOS devices via iTunes in iOS 12.

Open Source CMS: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and Magento.
Link. Basic overview.
Smart HDR’s plastic face problem.
Link. Was this noted in beta?
iTunes post iOS 12: “Software update is required to connect to your iOS device”
Link. I’m using iTunes on Sierra. Takes a while to download. Curious what this is doing.
The mini-recession of 2015-2016.
Link. A just-in-time information economy may have unique instabilities.
Britain’s NHS is broken and weird.
Link. Omits their catastrophic EHR project. Dwarfs problems of America’s VA system (our socialized medicine). The British are mad.
Brazilian politics 2018.
Link. Trump again.
PhotoKit’s Core Data Model is based on Aperture SQLite model
Link. Helps Aperture migration?
Synthetic cannabinoids with super warfarins

The new GOP spin on CO2: we are doomed so don’t fuss about it.
Link. White voters chose this.
MTB Clipless Pedals Survey.
Link. Good overview.
“Our Family Link app, which is now available in nearly every country around the world, helps parents better manage their kids’ experience with technology”
Link. Apple is absurdly behind. They are not even trying.
“adding a control that allows users to turn off linking web-based sign-in with browser-based sign-in”

Link. Whites. Putin. Murdoch.
iOS 12: Photos.app.
Link. Nothing for me.
What we do know: Kavanaugh is an asshole.
Link. I’d be surprised if he is not alcoholic.
Trump’s repeated “52% of women” claim speaks volumes.
Link. It was white women of course. Most humans can’t interpret serial lies, so this works for him. (I think later analyses put it closer to 50% – even for white women. WWCW was where he dominated.)
Wealth and GR recovery: “Bottom 90 experienced little to no wealth gains, whereas the Top 10 experienced outsized gains”
Link. Inequality grew.
“snowballing makes black holes the most chaotic system allowed by the laws of nature”
Link. Chaos is back.
“American women are increasingly doubtful that voters are ready to elect them.”
Link. White women chose worst possible male over highly qualified woman.
BRCA: 1 in 40 Ashkenazi.
Link. Not yet part of standard screening.
Modern polling: “We made about 46,000 calls to yield about 500 responses”
Link. WI and MN are very hard to poll.
Daytime sleepiness: “three times the risk of having plaques. Frequent napping, on the other hand, was not associated with plaque accumulation”
Link. No idea what this means.
Tb: “latent infections only rarely become active, even in old age.”
Link. We have treated a LOT of people for latent tb.
Gene drive with doublesex to eradicate anopheles.
