43 <p>Dieter Bohn, writing for The Verge:</p>
44
45 <blockquote>
46 <p>Tensor is an SoC, not a single processor. And so while it’s fair
47 to call it Google-designed, it’s also still unclear which
48 components are Google-made and which are licensed from others. Two
49 things are definitely coming from Google: a mobile TPU for AI
50 operations and a new Titan M2 chip for security. The rest,
51 including the CPU, GPU, and 5G modem, are all still a mystery.</p>
52
53 <p>Less mysterious: the phones themselves. I spent about an hour at
54 Google’s Mountain View campus last week looking at the phone
55 hardware and talking with Google’s hardware chief Rick Osterloh
56 about Tensor. After all that, my main takeaway about the new Pixel
57 6 phones is simple.</p>
58
59 <p>Google is actually, finally trying to make a competitive
60 flagship phone.</p>
61 </blockquote>
62
63 <p>“This is the year Google gets serious about Pixel (née Nexus) phones” is right up there with “the next version of Bluetooth is going to be reliable” and “this is the year of desktop Linux” on the list of perennial letdowns. But like Charlie Brown trying to kick Lucy’s football, hope springs eternal, and I’m hopeful Google actually pulls it off this time. The iPhone needs better rivals.</p>

104
105 <blockquote>
106 <p>Just weeks after its launch, the pro-Trump social network GETTR is inundated with terrorist propaganda spread by supporters of Islamic State, according to a POLITICO review of online activity on the fledgling platform.</p>
107
108 <p>The social network — started a month ago by members of former President Donald Trump’s inner circle — features reams of jihadi-related material, including graphic videos of beheadings, viral memes that promote violence against the West and even memes of a militant executing Trump in an orange jumpsuit similar to those used in Guantanamo Bay.</p>

126 <p>We all want to build great software — as quickly as possible. Here are three blockers we often hear from developers:</p>
127
128 <ul>
129 <li><p><em>Getting everyone aligned</em></p>
130
131 <p>Get ideas across clearly with a clear problem statement and requirements. Use a tool like Tara to get sign-off before you start.</p></li>
132 <li><p><em>Visibility into actual progress</em></p>
133
134 <p>Code changes are the best indicators of progress. Use tools that enable transparency. With Tara, everyone can see commits, blocks, and merges for a sense of true progress.</p></li>
135 <li><p><em>Manual status updates</em></p>
136
137 <p>Manual updates are the achilles heel of every project. Use tools that automate tedious, low-value actions — like Tara’s auto-status that marks tasks as done when a PR merges.</p></li>

160 <p>James Surowiecki:</p>
161
162 <blockquote>
163 <p>When the CDC changed its guidance on masking earlier this week — recommending, among other things, that even vaccinated people start wearing masks in indoor public spaces in areas of substantial to high Covid transmission — it cited “unpublished data” as a reason for its decision. The next day, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/cdc-breakthrough-infections/94390e3a-5e45-44a5-ac40-2744e4e25f2e/?_=1">the internal CDC document</a> that seems to have prompted the shift was published — by the Washington Post. And when major news media got a look at, the message they sent vaccinated people was pretty simple: “Panic!”</p>
164
165 <p>This reaction was not justified by the actual data in the CDC document.</p>
166 </blockquote>
167
168 <p>Headlines matter, and the headlines for these stories have been grossly misleading.</p>

246 <p>Shawn King, writing for The Loop regarding <em>last year’s</em> iPhone Photography Awards:</p>
247
248 <blockquote>
249 <p>But I remember having my spidey senses tingle last year with these
250 awards so I did some digging into it. The first thing I noticed
251 was you have to “pay to play” — that is, it costs $5.50 to submit
252 a single image with “discounts” given for multiple image
253 submissions. Paying to submit images to a contest is not
254 necessarily a bad thing but it always raises concerns for me.</p>
255
256 <p>Next up was the judges — or lack thereof. In an <a href="https://www.inputmag.com/culture/2020-iphone-photography-awards-winning-photos-heres-how-they-were-shot-judged">interview
257 with Input</a>, the founder of the IPPAWARDS Kenan Aktulun
258 (whose <a href="https://twitter.com/keakt">Twitter account</a> is protected) wouldn’t say who the
259 judges were:</p>
260
261 <blockquote>
262 <p>I asked Aktulun to share some details behind the curtains about
263 the judging process. Though he wouldn’t say specifically who the
264 panel of judges was for the 2020 winners, he said they were made
265 up of a diverse cast of visual storytellers including
266 photographers and designers.</p>
267 </blockquote>
268
269 <p>That’s always a red flag for me. Every reputable photo
270 competition, from Apple on down, lists the names of the people
271 doing the judging.</p>
272 </blockquote>
273
274 <p>The prizes are sort of shitty too.</p>

295
296 <blockquote>
297 <p>“I think I had the same reservations that many people had,” Bob, who requested that his last name be withheld to protect his privacy, tells Rolling Stone.</p>
298
299 <p>Then Bob saw a tweet from Goddess Alexandra Snow, a professional dominatrix and dungeon owner who operates Wicked Eden, a BDSM collective based in Columbus, Ohio. The tweet stated that any submissives who wanted to session with Snow in person would have to show proof of vaccination. Bob had been subscribing to Goddess Snow’s OnlyFans and “tributing” her (giving her money) for almost two years, and he got in touch with her to discuss whether or not he should get the vaccine. “It was less about convincing me and more about her confirming to me that it was the right thing to do,” he says. He got his final shot three weeks ago. “It [feels] good to know that I’m (hopefully) contributing to others not falling seriously ill,” he says. “And of course, it’s gratifying to know I’ve done something that Goddess Snow approves of.”</p>

353
354 <blockquote>
355 <p>The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia will soon require all its on-site employees to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, as most of their patients are too young to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The hospital did not specify a deadline for employees to receive the vaccine, but said in a statement Thursday that it is “currently preparing for the implementation of a vaccine requirement.”</p>
356
357 <p>“We believe that it is our duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves, especially our young patients,” the statement read.</p>

380 <p>Aaron E. Carroll, chief health officer for Indiana University, in a guest column for The New York Times:</p>
381
382 <blockquote>
383 <p>Many may read the C.D.C.’s continued focus on masking and
384 distancing as an acknowledgment that the vaccines don’t work well
385 enough. Leaning heavily on masking and distancing is what we did
386 when we didn’t have vaccinations. Today, such recommendations are
387 less likely to succeed because they are more likely to be followed
388 by those already primed to listen — the vaccinated — and to be
389 fought and ignored by those who aren’t.</p>
390
391 <p>Hospitalizations and deaths are rising in some areas not because
392 someone didn’t wear a mask at the ballgame. They’re occurring
393 because too many people are not immunized.</p>
394
395 <p>This is why I’ve <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/28/opinion/covid-vaccine-mandate.html">advocated</a> vaccine mandates. I don’t understand
396 how we can mandate wearing masks but not getting vaccinations.</p>
397 </blockquote>
398
399 <p>Here’s German Lopez, <a href="https://www.vox.com/2021/7/28/22594637/vaccine-mandates-covid-19-masks-delta-variants">making the same case at Vox</a>:</p>
400
401 <blockquote>
402 <p>A year ago, requiring masks as cases spiked would have been an
403 obviously smart decision. Mask mandates <a href="https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/21546014/mask-mandates-coronavirus-covid-19">work</a>, and for most of
404 2020, they were among the best methods we had to stop the spread
405 of Covid-19. But masks were never meant to be the long-term
406 solution; they were a stopgap until the US and the rest of the
407 world could stamp out epidemics through vaccination.</p>
408
409 <p>Now those vaccines are here. And the changed circumstances of
410 summer 2021 call for new approaches. Any entity thinking about a
411 mask requirement — from private businesses to local, state, and
412 federal governments — should consider mandating something else
413 first: vaccination.</p>
414 </blockquote>
415
416 <p>Asking the vaccinated to wear masks to protect the voluntarily unvaccinated is not going to work. <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/07/vaccinated-america-breaking-point-anti-vaxxers/619539/">The backlash is growing</a>.</p>

584 <p>Techdirt is one of the very, very, very few truly independent media brands around. Almost none of the independent media brands that existed when we started remain. Some have been sucked up into larger companies or shut down entirely. Others have decided to go behind expensive paywalls. We’ve had to adapt and change over the years in many ways just to stick around, but in the end the reason we do this is because of the community we’ve built up here. For us to stick around, I need to ask the community to help support us as well. We have some cool experiments and projects in the works, so stay tuned for that, but in the meantime, if you can help us out, it would be hugely appreciated.</p>

636 <p>Juli Clover, MacRumors:</p>
637
638 <blockquote>
639 <p>Prior to this beta, Safari on iPad was similar to Safari on iOS
640 with no dedicated tab bar, but after the update, Apple has added a
641 dedicated tab bar that’s activated by default, which is the same
642 layout that’s now used in macOS Monterey.</p>
643
644 <p>While the separate tab bar is enabled automatically when updating,
645 in the Safari section of Settings, there is an option to toggle on
646 the original compact tab bar that merged everything together.</p>
647 </blockquote>
648
649 <p>This is a significant improvement for Safari on iPad, and showing the tab bar is the correct default. If you love the new unified design, it’s still there. But my big problem with this tab bar — both on Mac and now iPad — is that it’s very hard to see which tab is the current (selected) tab. The visual indication for “selected” is just a very slightly different background tint — whether you’ve got “Show color in tab bar” enabled or not. You can even scroll the current tab out of view. Why is that possible? I don’t see how this is better than the Safari 14 tab bar in any way, and I see a lot of ways that it’s worse.</p>

(My tweet says eight, but there are two separate tappable areas to bring up the URL address bar, one on each side of the minuscule reload button.)</p>

688 <p>I really do appreciate the experimentation, but the new Safari
689 feels like something I’d take to the UI Design Labs at WWDC and
690 they’d push me to use native controls that users expect and
691 already know, have better tap targets, and stop cramming too many
692 things in a small space.</p>

713 <p>On iPhone:</p>
714
715 <ul>
716 <li><p>The Share button is back in the toolbar, replacing the “···” don’t-call-it-a-hamburger-button. But there’s an awful lot of non-sharing stuff crammed into the Share menu — the ᴀA menu items from the current version of Safari (text size, Reader mode, disabling content blockers temporarily, etc.) are all in “Share” now. It’s better than the “···” menu in betas 1–3, but really, this is more like changing the “···” glyph to the Share glyph. It’s still two menus’ worth of features stuffed into one monolithic menu.</p></li>
717 <li><p>The Reload button is back. But it’s bizarrely tiny — way smaller than the minimum recommended tap target size of 44 x 44 points. And it shares space with the newly restored Reader mode button. When you load a page, if Reader mode is available, the Reader mode button shows briefly (maybe for 1–2 seconds?) along with the text “Reader Available” under the website’s domain name. But then the “Reader Available” label fades out and the Reader mode button turns into the Reload button. To enable Reader mode at this point, you either need to long-press the URL domain name to bring up a shortcut menu, or tap the — you guessed it — Share button, which has its own “Reader” item near the top.</p></li>
718 <li><p>Bookmarks are supposed to be easier to access, but I think most users accustomed to previous versions of Mobile Safari — which heretofore has always had a bookmarks button right in the main toolbar — are going to struggle to find them.</p></li>
719 </ul>
720
721 <p>Apple is clearly trying to address the <a href="https://daringfireball.net/2021/07/safari_15_public_betas_for_mac_and_ios">numerous complaints</a> about the Safari 15 design for iPhone, but beta 4 feels like they’ve decided that the solution to finding themselves in a hole is to dig faster.</p>

741 <p>Fascinating video from The Wall Street Journal:</p>
742
743 <blockquote>
744 <p>A Wall Street Journal investigation found that TikTok only needs
745 one important piece of information to figure out what you want:
746 the amount of time you linger over a piece of content. Every
747 second you hesitate or rewatch, the app is tracking you.</p>
748 </blockquote>
749
750 <p>Not surprising it works this way, but creepy nonetheless. <strong>Update:</strong> I’ve long suspected that Instagram does something similar, with regard to its often uncanny “<em>Hey, I was just looking at pictures of those…</em>” ads.</p>

772 <blockquote>
773 <p>We’re excited to announce that Brief is joining Twitter! Our team has always been inspired by Twitter’s mission to improve public conversation, and we can’t wait to work with the kind, brilliant folks we’ve met there. Together, we’ll do great things. Sadly, this transition also means that our work at Brief is coming to an end. The newsroom will publish our final news bulletins on July 31. […]</p>
774
775 <p>We founded this company to foster healthy discourse by rethinking the way we read the news. The only way we can tackle the world’s complex challenges is by doing it together. In this next chapter, we’ll continue our efforts to push the conversation forward, and we hope that everyone who believed in us will do the same.</p>

777
778 <p>Ugh.</p>
779
780 <p>Congrats to Hobbs and Huey (presuming this is a good outcome for them), but man, this is the second iOS app from my <em>first</em> home screen that Twitter has acquired and killed in the last few months. (The other was <a href="https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/05/05/nuzzel">Nuzzel</a>, which shut down in May, and which I continue to miss every day.)</p>
