> The iPhone was not designed to be addictive. [...] The addiction ensnaring children is not some master plan secretly hatched at Apple, but is instead the spawn of attention economy conglomerates like Facebook, who, unlike Apple, directly profit from compulsive use, and leverage the iPhone merely as a convenient platform.
Apple makes quite a bit of money on app store sales[1]. We well know how the "free" to play market works[2]. It arguably thrives by triggering the same mechanisms as social media applications.
Ingvar was a fascist sympathizer with corporatist ideas. He stayed true to his nazi sympathies long after the atrocities of Nazi Germany became known to the world. He was once a very active member of Svensk Socialistisk Samling[1][3].
As late as 2010 he hailed the Swedish fascist leader Per Engdahl[1][2].
He may have been an excellent business man (and tax evader), but please remembers these facts too.
```
The tycoon revealed some elements of his past in a book in 1988, admitting that he was a close friend of the Swedish fascist activist Per Engdahl, and a member of his New Swedish Movement between 1942 and 1945.
He said that his involvement was youthful "stupidity" and the "greatest mistake" of his life.
```
The parent already pointed out that in a 2010 interview he expressed his unchanged admiration for Endghal. And he was also later show to have remained friends with him well into the 50s, exchanging correspondence and kind regards, a further misrepresentation of the length and character of their friendship.
Very few of their images are uploaded directly by their creator (in stark contrast to Flickr). Most are shared by casual surfers (with little regard to copyright).
If there was a feature to set CC info, I guess most of that info would not be correct.
Thank you for your reply. I'm one of your very early adopters (that has left) and these days I can't help thinking that you are malicious.
Even if you fixed the hash issue, the dreaded "Sign up to see more" would still be there, right? You've done a great job making it near impossible to block that overlay.
Right now I do -inurl:pinterest to get you out of my Google search results. It works, but I'd be happier if you shared the images that people shared with you.
“Sign up to see more” is something we have removed for a large percent of our users (including all US users) and is something we are expanding as fast as we can while still allowing for growing a core user base in countries where it is relatively small. It’s a decision that’s complex and not my call but we hear the feedback loud and clear. To my knowledge in no country do we show the overlay immediately after clicking through on a Google search result. If you have a counter example please send it to me and I will share with the relevant internal team. ~Best

I guess Sweden is still a developing country over at Pinterest. :)

It appears after scrolling about 700 pixels of images, usually just before I'm able to locate the image I found via Google Image Search... Looking forward to the day you ditch that dark gray pattern.
Although I'm not involved in SEO or these landing pages, I deeply care about the Pinterest experience and believe in the open web. So I spent the last day in passionate discussions with the relevant teams and leaders about how we can fix/improve these issues. I'm confident changes will be rolling out very soon, although of course I cannot promise anything specific.
In the meantime, I might suggest to consider using Pinterest directly for image searching. No bias of course ;). Thank you so much for your feedback.
Awesome to see a Zero Books published book here! Also, be sure to check out "Kill All Normies: Online culture wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the alt-right", another excellent book recently published on Zero Books.
Smartphones are making us interpret every gap in life as boredom, when it could actually be a break. I know, we're talking about kids. But I seriously think that if they seldom exercise stillness they will never be able to enjoy it. And THAT is a loss.
To be honest, this guys approach to creating a myth around himself seems much more compelling and unique to me. As is the (post mortem) Vivian Maier story.
I have a keyless, non-IoT deadbolt (number pad with access code). It's hugely more convenient and more pleasant to use than traditional keys. One of those things that you don't really realize until you have one. I never worry about having house keys. I can pop in and out of the house on short jaunts with much less friction. I can give people access to my home without coordinating handing over keys. I don't have to go through the clumsy and annoying process of getting keys out, sticking them in the lock, turning them, turning them back, taking them out, and putting them back in my pocket just to walk through a door. It seems trivial but it really does noticeably improve quality of life.
1. If you forget/lose your keys. If you still have your phone with you, then you can use that to unlock it, or if you set up a passcode ahead of time, you can use that too.
2. If you're having someone over and you're OK with them letting themselves in since it'd be inconvenient for you to meet them to let them in.
I've had both of these situations happen to me. Granted, the solution shouldn't cost $700, but a lock you can open with your phone and also email/text someone a time-limited passcode for is useful.
