@lbmeyler @stellaomalley3 @Glinner In this case, he's in the driver's seat and available to take control of necessary. It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out.

I’m not sure what to make of this but I bet none of the equivalent drink in pubs now. Instead they drink cans at home.
The level of alcoholism back then was off the charts. The alcoholic culture was everywhere in Ireland

@ciarancannon If you drive Dublin to Cork for example at the speed limit, how many cars would you expect to pass you? Dozens, hundreds, thousands...?

I spoke at a road safety conference recently and a fellow panellist was arguing that the vast majority of motorists respect the rules of the road. That’s just not the case. Try driving at the speed limit, and see how many overtake or attempt to overtake you. Speeding is endemic.

@tomhfh @DuncanJTerry There's a very good reason. Have you ever been to the beach?

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.

Eritrean invader 'cornered' a terrified 15-year-old girl on a train and told her she was 'really beautiful' before sexually assaulting her, a magistrates' court heard.
Meron Habtu, 29, blocked the teenager's way as she left a toilet and told her she was 'really beautiful and pretty,' Poole Magistrates heard yesterday.
Habtu, who 'smelt of alcohol' and was slurring his words, is said to have followed her before blocking her path and allegedly touching her breasts three or four times.
Get them all out ffs!
