I've never understood people who complain about 'big words'.
Also, I've never really understood how showing a picture of someone is supposed to make a point.
Particularly when our friend of limited vocabulary shows neither his face nor his name.
But he sure shows his ignorance.

@OdohertyI64991 Oh look at me using all my big words. It would be better if you used a comb and a razor.

Have written today about a new poll showing 80 per cent of Irish people back ending financial support for Ukrainian exiles in Ireland. We welcomed them, and now we're bored of the war and want them to bog off home. So much for compassionate Ireland! independent.ie/opinion/commen…

Mark Zuckerberg engineered a custom hardware device for his wife in 2019. No clock face. One faint light. A one-hour window.
Priscilla had a specific problem. She'd wake up in the middle of the night, check her phone for the time, and the number itself spiked her anxiety. 4am meant worry about the kids waking soon. 5:30 meant calculating whether to just get up. The information was the trigger.
Most engineers approach "can't sleep" by adding things to the bedroom. A meditation app. A Hatch alarm. A weighted blanket. A sleep coach.
Mark removed the variable that was running the wake-up loop.
The Sleep Box sits on Priscilla's nightstand and shows nothing for 23 hours a day. Between 6am and 7am it emits a single faint light. Faint enough not to wake her if she's still asleep. Visible enough that if she's already up, she knows it's okay to start the day. The rest of the night, dark. No clock. No time display. If she wakes at 3am she has no data to push her cortisol up with, so she goes back to sleep.
He wrote the firmware and built the enclosure himself. No team, no procurement, no Meta resources. He posted the result on Instagram and said it worked better than he expected.
The design move most CEOs would never run is the personal one. The instinct is to outsource a family problem to a specialist. A sleep coach. A doctor. A consumer electronics startup with a Series B and a marketing budget.
Mark intervened at a specific link in the chain. Time data hitting Priscilla's brain at 3am was what broke sleep. The phone got moved off the nightstand and replaced with a box that physically cannot deliver that data.
The box has no clock. That's the entire product.

Gardai had objected to the application.
