The three major music conglomerates — Universal, Sony and Warner — joined by a host of other publishers on Wednesday sued Twitter for at least $250 million over the alleged infringement of roughly 1,700 works for which it received hundreds of thousands of takedown notices. They allege the company “consistently and knowingly hosts and streams infringing copies of music compositions” to “fuel its business.” Twitter has rebuffed calls for it to obtain the proper licenses, according to the suit. More from The Hollywood Reporter Twitter is the lone major social media platform without music licensing deals, which permits those sites to legally host videos and other content featuring publishers’ music. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Snapchat have all entered into agreements that compensate creators of musical compositions for use of their work. The suit filed in federal court in Tennessee accuses Twitter of intentionally fostering a user base that posts video overlaid with copyright-protected music to “retain account holders and viewers” and “grow the body of engaging tweets” on the platform. “Twitter then monetizes those tweets and users via advertising, subscriptions, and data licensing, all of which serve to increase Twitter’s valuation and revenues,” states the filing. The complaint points to a tweet from a known repeat offender who has been the subject of at least nine infringement notices to Twitter. The publishers say Twitter has profited off of the infringement by posting a “promoted” tweet directly below the post and recommending a paid “promoted” account directly to its right. Story continues In marketing and securities filings, Twitter has represented that video drives high levels of engagement and that the majority of its users watch video content. “The availability of videos with music, including copies of Publishers’ musical compositions, furthers Twitter’s financial interests both because it drives user engagement, and thus advertising revenue, and because Twitter does not pay fees to license musical compositions from Publishers and other music rights holders,” writes the publishers’ lawyer Steven Riley in the suit. “Indeed, providing free, unlicensed music gives the Twitter platform an unfair advantage over competing platforms.” In December 2021, the National Music Publishers’ Association, acting on behalf of the publishers, began sending formal infringement notices to Twitter on a weekly basis, according to the complaint. The company was notified of over 300,000 infringing tweets. Despite this, Twitter “often waited weeks, a month, or even longer” before removing the posts “if it acts at all,” the suit says. The publishers stress that Twitter failed to implement a policy to terminate repeat infringers. In its policy, the company addresses issues concerning copyright complaints, including what happens to accounts that receive one or more copyright complaints, but neglects to carry a warning to users that they may be terminated for repeat infringement despite having one prior to 2019. “Users who repeatedly infringe copyrights do not face a realistic prospect of permanently losing access to their accounts on the Twitter platform,” the suit states. “Rather than terminating access to specific users brought to its attention as infringers, which would have stopped or limited their infringement and deterred others from infringing, Twitter has operated its platform to be a haven for infringing activity.” Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Twitter can limit its liability over infringement by its users but only if it took reasonable steps that provide for the termination of accounts held by repeat offenders. Production companies have been taking Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Comcast to court for allegedly facilitating mass piracy of their movies, arguing that the internet service providers aren’t protected by the DMCA, which provides for notice and takedown of content that infringes on copyrights, because they turned a blind eye to customers who illegally distribute and download pirated films. Anticipating a fair use defense from Twitter, the publishers also argue that the purpose of using their music on Twitter is to maximize views and make posts more compelling, “not to engage in political or newsworthy speech, or commentary or criticism.” They cite a tweet with the official music video of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” that states, “15 years ago, Rihanna released ‘Umbrella.’” The post got 221,000 views and nearly 15,000 likes. Last year, Elon Musk tweeted that “current copyright law in general goes absurdly far beyond protecting the original creator,” according to the complaint. The suit, which seeks $150,000 for each infringed work, claims direct copyright infringement, contributory infringement and vicarious infringement. The 17 publishers that sued are represented by the National Music Publishers Association. They include Anthem Entertainment, Big Machine Music, BMG Rights Management, Kobalt Music Publishing America, Spirit Music Group, among others. In a statement, NMPA president David Israelite said Twitter “knows full well that music is leaked, launched, and streamed by billions of people every day on its platform.” He added that the company can’t “hide behind the DMCA.” Twitter was exploring the licensing of music rights from three major labels before Musk’s takeover of the company, The New York Times reported in March. In a letter to then-CEO Jack Dorsey sent in 2021, more than 20 members of Congress called on the company to adopt “robust content protection technology” to decrease the posting of infringing content. Twitter in January was hit with a similar suit from celebrity photo agency Backgrid over the alleged infringement of thousands of its photographs by users on the platform.

Entertainment KETO RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS 14 Jun 2023 Cornelius Cross WITH A CREAMY TEXTURE AND SWEET-TART RASPBERRY FLAVOR, THESE KETO RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS ARE A MUST-TRY. THEY’RE EASY TO MAKE AND PERFECT FOR SATISFYING YOUR SWEET TOOTH WITHOUT DERAILING YOUR LOW CARB DIET. These keto raspberry cheesecake bars are the perfect marriage of tangy fruit and creamy goodness. Cheesecake has been a crowd-pleaser for centuries, with its rich, creamy texture and decadent flavor. If you’re on the keto diet or even just watching your carb intake, you’ll be happy to know that it’s still possible to enjoy this classic dessert without sacrificing your health and wellness goals. Hear me out – while cheesecake may not seem like the healthiest low carb dessert option out there, it does contain calcium, protein, and healthy fats when made with the right ingredients. And unlike traditional cheesecake recipes that use graham crackers and sugar, this low carb raspberry cheesecake is made with keto-friendly ingredients that won’t spike your blood sugar levels. Plus, raspberries are a great source of antioxidants and fiber, making them a healthy addition to this dessert – it’s a win/win for sure! Interesting facts about cheesecake: * Cheesecake dates back to Ancient Greece, where it was served to athletes to give them energy during the first Olympic games in 776 BC. * In the United States, National Cheesecake Day is celebrated on July 30th. * The largest cheesecake ever made weighed over 6,900 pounds and was created in New York in 2014. There – now you can impress your friends with cheesecake trivia when you serve them these keto raspberry cheesecake bars. These keto raspberry cheesecake bars can be made into a larger cheesecake but I don’t recommend it. While a giant cheesecake is impressive, it’s not always the most practical option. By making these keto raspberry cheesecake bars instead, you can have the same delicious flavor without worrying about portion control or overindulging. They also cook and chill a lot faster than a full scale cheesecake, AND they’re easier to serve and store for later. If you do need a larger keto cheesecake, try this Keto Raspberry Cheesecake with Coconut Crust that was a guest post from Divalicious Recipes and gets rave reviews by everyone who tries it!

ABOUT THE EZVIZ H8 PRO 3K Credit: Reviewed / Nick Woodard The EzViz H8 Pro 3K outdoor camera’s hardware is included in the packaging, so as long as you have a place picked out to mount the camera, a screwdriver or drill handy, and a power outlet close by, the H8 Pro 3K will be ready to scan your yard in no time. * Colors: White * Connectivity: 802.11 b/g/n @2.4GHz * Power source: DC 12V/1A * Resolution: 3K * Audio: Two-way talk * Smart assistant support: Alexa, Google Assistant * Operational temperatures: -4 to 122 °F * Weight: 1.2 pounds * Warranty: One-year warranty WHAT WE LIKE THIS EZVIZ CAMERA SETS UP EASILY Credit: Reviewed / Nick Woodard EzViz H8 Pro 3K outdoor camera company says its on-board AI algorithm will automatically reduce alerts that may be caused by leaves or insects. Thanks to it having a 12-volt power source, the Ezviz H8 Pro 3K is simple to set up. All the hardware is included in the packaging, so as long as you have a place picked out to mount the camera, a screwdriver or drill handy, and a power outlet close by, the H8 Pro 3K will be ready to scan your yard in no time. You do, of course, need to download the Ezviz app and follow the steps to get the H8 Pro 3K online and active. That’s just as simple of a task, though, with the added benefit of the app prompting you to adopt security features like two-factor or biometric authentication as you get started. IT OFFERS 360 DEGREES OF SECURITY At a glance, the biggest draw for the H8 Pro 3K is twofold: it boasts a 3K resolution video feed—a rarity in the smart security camera space—and it features pan/tilt functionality that paves the way for a full field of view. I’m here to tell you that these aren’t just buzzwords to get the H8 Pro’s foot in the door. They’re the real deal. I mounted the H8 Pro in the corner of our yard, and the pan/tilt feature allowed me to not only see the entirety of our backyard, but I could rotate the camera around to get a clear line of sight down our side yard. The 3K resolution comes in quite handy with keeping track of what’s happening in the space. If you’ve ready my past outdoor camera reviews, you know that we have a friendly African Sulcata tortoise named Darwin roaming the yard. With some cameras, it would be difficult to spot Darwin if he was too far away. But the H8 Pro 3K had such depth and clarity that we never lost sight of the 60-pound dinosaur. On a more serious note, the H8 Pro 3K has a security feature tied to its pan/tilt functionality called Auto Zoom Tracking. This setting will detect human motion, then follow them and zoom in as they move across the field of view. The goal is to not have unwanted individuals moving through your yard. Should that ever happen, though, the H8 Pro 3K won’t miss a step. THIS EZVIZ CAMERA HAS A LOT OF USEFUL FEATURES While pan/tilt and 3K resolution may be the marquee features, they are far from the only tools that the H8 Pro has on its belt. Ezviz built in a number of AI-enabled features to improve your experience with the camera. The company says its on-board AI algorithm will automatically reduce alerts that may be caused by leaves or insects. Elsewhere, you can enable a feature that allows visitors to initiate a video call to your phone simply by waving their hand at the camera. There’s also as many as 12 customizable detection spots that you can pinpoint through the Ezviz app, which essentially instructs this model Ezviz camera to to focus specifically on those areas. Like many outdoor security cameras these days, the H8 Pro also comes with features like color night vision, a built-in microphone for two-way audio, and a piercing siren to help deter intruders. Finally, while you can opt into subscription-based cloud storage, the H8 Pro has the ability to accept local storage with a microSD card. WHAT WE DON’T LIKE THE APP LAGS Credit: Reviewed / Nick Woodard The EzViz H8 Pro 3K outdoor camera boasts a 3K resolution video feed—a rarity in the smart security camera space – and it features pan/tilt functionality that paves the way for a full field of view. Plain and simple, the Ezviz app isn’t perfect. It has its fair share of benefits, but on occasion it became extremely laggy. It didn’t happen very often, but there were multiple instances where there was a significant delay between signaling the camera to pan and it actually moving. There were also situations when the camera feed refused to pull up, forcing me to close the app out completely before it would retrieve a live feed. Now, to be transparent, it could very well be a Wi-Fi issue, since it is in a remote section of my backyard. But there are other security cameras within feet of the H8 Pro, and they have significantly less issues with delays. Plus, our experience with the Ezviz C3W Pro (in the same location as the H8 Pro) produced similar problems. THE POWER CABLE IS SUPER SHORT The soapbox that I will stand on today is this: if you have an outdoor camera that runs on 12-volt power, it should come standard with at least a 10-foot power cable. Instead, the H8 Pro 3K has a roughly 5-foot cable that severely limits where you can place it in your yard without the addition of an extension cord. Some extension cords can be cheap, but it doesn’t help that you may have to purchase an entirely different product just to be able to use the H8 Pro in your space. PRIVACY The Ezviz app itself encourages two-factor and biometric authentication to protect from unwanted sources accessing your feeds. Ezviz also touts that it has won awards for information security, personal data protection and cloud security as a result of its efforts. Ultimately, smart home tech is never 100% free from security concerns, but Ezviz has made a genuine effort to ensure the safety of customers’ data. SHOULD YOU BUY THE EZVIZ H8 PRO 3K? YES, THERE AREN’T MANY SECURITY CAMERAS LIKE THIS CURRENTLY Credit: Reviewed / Nick Woodard The EzViz H8 Pro 3K is a new outdoor security camera that offers 360-degree pan/tilt functionality, plus 3K video resolution as part of an eye-catching collection of features. The Ezviz H8 Pro 3K has a unique tandem in its 360-degree field of view and 3K resolution. On those merits alone, the juice is essentially worth the squeeze. But to really nail the value element, the H8 Pro is packed with plenty of other features that make functionality and security a priority. There are some scattered instances where the app can’t quite catch up with the camera, causing delays and sometimes failing to pull up the audio feed, period. The power cable is also very short for a security camera that is meant to be an outdoor installation. If you’re enamored by the H8 Pro 3K, you’re going to have to accept those blemishes. In the grand scheme of things, those are small hiccups in exchange for a smart home camera that adds real utility to your outdoor security situation. That’s what the H8 Pro 3K was built to be, and that’s precisely what it turned out to be.

She was eight months pregnant at the time of her death. Respiratory distress and eclampsia were listed as potential complications, according to The New York Times. Bowie’s death underscores the severity of the maternal mortality problem in the United States, which has a maternal mortality rate that is double — if not more — than other developed countries like France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Sweden. Her death also underscores the severity of the Black maternal mortality crisis in this country. Black women are three times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy-related causes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The World Health Organization reports that among the causes of maternal death are severe bleeding after childbirth, infections after childbirth and preeclampsia and eclampsia, or high blood pressure during pregnancy. And while you may be unfamiliar with eclampsia, you may be aware of preeclampsia — and the two are related. “Eclampsia is a rare but serious complication of preeclampsia,” according to the Cleveland Clinic website. So, what is eclampsia (and preeclampsia) and what are the signs? Here’s what to know. WHAT IS ECLAMPSIA? Eclampsia is when seizures occur when someone is pregnant or after they give birth. It is usually a severe outcome of preeclampsia, which is a pregnancy complication in which someone has high blood pressure and excess protein in their urine, said Dr. Alison Cowan, an OB-GYN in Colorado and head of medical affairs at Mirvie, a health technology company that is working to develop blood tests to determine one’s pregnancy risks. Eclampsia can also develop if a pregnant person has HELLP syndrome (which stands for Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets) or gestational hypertension, said Dr. Ahizechukwu Eke, director of research in the division of maternal fetal medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. But preeclampsia is the most common reason why eclampsia develops. According to the March of Dimes, preeclampsia occurs in 5% to 8% of pregnancies. Eke said severe preeclampsia occurs in .6% to 1.2% of pregnancies in Western countries, and eclampsia occurs in 2% to 3% of people with severe preeclampsia. While eclampsia overall is not common, it is serious. It’s also considered a new occurrence, meaning the person who suffers from it usually does not have a history of seizures, according to Eke. Dimensions via Getty Images High blood pressure is a warning sign of preeclampsia and eclampsia. WHAT ARE THE WARNING SIGNS OF ECLAMPSIA? There are a number of eclampsia warning signs. The biggest one is high blood pressure. According to Eke, around “75% of [people] who have eclampsia will have a history of high blood pressure.” About two-thirds of patients with eclampsia would also have a history of severe headaches prior to the seizure, Eke said. Additional symptoms include pain in the upper right abdomen, less frequent urination, dark pee, vision issues like blurred eyesight, swollen hands and feet, and nausea and vomiting, he noted. While 75% of people who are diagnosed with eclampsia do have symptoms predating the seizures, unfortunately and terrifyingly, 25% do not have any symptoms — “and then all of a sudden, boom, they just have a seizure,” Eke said. The warning signs of preeclampsia are similar, according to Cowan. “Symptoms that can commonly occur with preeclampsia are severe headache that doesn’t improve with Tylenol, changes in your vision … you can have pain in the right upper abdomen,” Cowan said. Swelling is another symptom, she said, but it can be confusing since swelling can happen in pregnancy regardless. Vomiting, high blood pressure and shortness of breath are additional signs of preeclampsia, according to Penn Medicine. WHO IS AT RISK OF DEVELOPING ECLAMPSIA? As mentioned, having preeclampsia is the most common risk factor for developing eclampsia. Additionally, if it’s the person’s first pregnancy, they are at risk, too, Eke said. Chronic hypertension and chronic kidney disease are risk factors, as well, along with your age. If you’re younger than 16 or older than 35, your chances of developing the condition are greater, he noted. People who are pregnant with multiple children — like twins, triplets or quadruplets — also have a higher risk. “And then it tends to be more common in minority racial and ethnic groups, most especially Black women,” Eke said. It’s important for providers to thoroughly check all patients for risk factors and to inform them of the symptoms of preeclampsia and eclampsia, but it’s especially crucial for providers to exhaust all potential risks and complications when it comes to Black patients, since eclampsia is more common in this group, Eke said. Additionally, if you feel that you are at risk and not getting the care and attention you need, you can find another doctor. “For everyone regardless of their risk, they need to know the signs and symptoms and they need to be aware of when to call their doctor or midwife for help,” Cowan added. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF? “The biggest thing about prevention is early recognition of symptoms. So these patients typically will need to call their doctors when they start having [symptoms],” Eke said. This is especially true for patients with a history of high blood pressure. Eke said many doctors will encourage people to “have a blood pressure cuff at home, and monitor your blood pressure at least once a day.” You can find at-home blood pressure cuffs at stores like Walgreens, Walmart and on Amazon. “Regular monitoring at home is more accessible than it ever has been before,” Cowan said. “I never want people to feel [anxious] or afraid of becoming pregnant because of these stories, because the key thing is that, number one, there is a lot we can do to prevent preeclampsia, and number two, if we aren’t able to prevent it entirely, if we recognize it, it’s manageable — we can do everything possible to protect mom and baby as long as we’re able to recognize that it’s there,” Cowan said. When it comes to the prevention and management of preeclampsia, Cowan said a baby aspirin can be an effective tool in preeclampsia treatment, and so can blood pressure management. Additionally, certain lifestyle behaviors like exercise and eating well can help prevent it, too. “If you put those all together, it’s actually quite a comprehensive list of things that clinicians can be doing and that pregnant individuals can be doing to decrease their risk of preeclampsia as much as possible,” she said. As far as what Cowan wants everyone patient to know, she said it’s important to talk to your doctor about your risk and the symptoms. And, if you are diagnosed with preeclampsia, make sure you know what you need to do and have an emergency plan in place with your doctor, she noted. “I think knowledge is just that first step to prevention,” Cowan said.

With only 6.4g net carbs per serving, you will love how easy it is to make this delicious stew. This low-carb version of a classic stew is made with tender beef, flavorful herbs and spices, and plenty of low-carb veggies for a comforting and delicious meal that’s also keto-friendly If you liked our Easy Keto Pot Roast you will fall in love with this low carb beef stew. Give it a try, and make sure to round out your meal with a slice of Keto Cheese Bread Loaf. Jump to: INGREDIENTS The ingredients in this keto beef stew are both simple and flavorful. Unlike traditional beef stew, ingredients like starchy root vegetables and flour are substituted with low-carb alternatives such as turnips, green onions, and fewer carrots. You’ll hardly notice the difference! * Beef Stew Meat – use a beef chuck roast or round roast and cut it into bite-sized pieces for the stew. You can also buy precut stew meat. I prefer grass fed beef, but use whatever fits within your own budget. * Olive Oil – a light-tasting oil is used to brown the meat and saute perfectly cooked vegetables. * Green Onions – the whole spring is used including the white part. Green onions have fewer carbs than bulb onions. * Garlic – pre-minced or mince yourself at home. * Vegetables – turnips are used in place of potatoes, and only one carrot is needed. * Seasoning – Italian seasoning, bay leaves, and salt and pepper are all needed. * Beef Broth – this is a great opportunity to use beef bone broth if it is in your budget to purchase or make your own Instant Pot beef bone broth! * Tomato Paste – adds a savory tomato flavor to the stew. It will also help the stew thicken as it simmers. * Apple Cider Vinegar – adds a bit of tangy to really bring all the flavors together. See recipe card for quantities. INSTRUCTIONS Making this hearty keto beef stew is a simple process. Start by prepping your meat and vegetables. You will want to peel and cut all your vegetables in advance, except the turnips. The turnips are added last after the stew has simmered. I recommend waiting to prep them until the end so they don’t turn brown sitting out. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Then, add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. Next, add the carrots, and the white part of the green onions, to the pot and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Then stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, beef broth, and bay leaves. Stir to combine. Let the stew come to a boil then cover and reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45-60 minutes, until the beef is tender Peel and cut the turnips to 1-inch cubes. Remove the lid from your pot. Add the turnips. Increase to medium-high and bring back to a boil. Boil for 15-20 or until the turnips are soft and the stew has started to thicken. Remove the stew from the heat and serve topped with the remaining green onions. This will add flavor and give color to your stew. Hint: Brown the stew meat in batches so that the meat isn’t crowded in the pan. This will give the meat enough space to crisp without releasing all the juice and just boiling it. SUBSTITUTIONS Need substitutions for one or more ingredients? Check out the list below for recommended substitutions for some ingredients used to make this keto beef stew recipe. * Beef stew meat- Use other cuts of beef like chuck roast or sirloin that are also suitable for stewing. You can also substitute beef with different types of meat like lamb, pork, or venison. * Olive oil– Substitute olive oil with other healthy cooking oils like avocado oil, coconut oil, or ghee. * Green onions– Use regular onions or shallots instead of green onions. * Carrots– Substitute the carrots with other low-carb vegetables like diced celery, diced radishes, bell peppers, or mushrooms. * Garlic– Use garlic powder instead of minced garlic. * Turnips- Substitute turnips with other low-carb root vegetables like rutabaga or radish. * Beef broth- You can also use bone broth for added nutrition. * Tomato paste– Substitute tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes to reduce the carb count even further, you may need to reduce the amount of broth used to compensate for the additional liquid. * Apple cider vinegar– While apple cider vinegar adds a nice tangy flavor to the stew, you can also use other types of vinegar like red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar. Just be sure to check the nutrition label as some kinds of vinegar may contain added sugars. Keep in mind that any changes made to the recipes will alter the nutritional values of the recipes found below. VARIATIONS If you’re looking to switch up your keto beef stew recipe, try these three flavor variations that will add some variety to your weekly meal plan. * Spicy beef stew– Add some heat to your beef stew by adding diced jalapenos, red pepper flakes, or a spicy seasoning blend like Cajun or chili powder. This will give your stew a nice kick and depth. * Creamy beef stew– Make your beef stew creamier by adding heavy cream, sour cream, or cream cheese. * Curry beef stew– Give your beef stew an Indian twist by adding curry powder, cumin, and coriander.

Food & Health THE REDDIT BLACKOUT SHOWS NO SIGNS OF STOPPING 14 Jun 2023 Julie Russell CNN — A widespread Reddit blackout affecting some of the site’s largest communities has continued into its third day with no signs of stopping, as a number of groups on the site vowed to remain closed off indefinitely to protest changes to the platform’s data policies. As of Wednesday morning, more than 6,000 subreddits remained inaccessible and in private mode after what began as a two-day voluntary shutdown. The blackout includes popular forums such as r/aww, r/videos and r/music, each of which claims more than 25 million subscribers on the platform. The extended protest highlights the commitment of some users, moderators and developers to a long-term standoff with Reddit’s management over a decision to begin charging steep fees for third-party data access to its platform. Reddit didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The coming fees have provoked broad outrage because of their expected impact on independent apps and moderator tools that have grown up around Reddit and that many users view as a critical resource. Some of the largest third-party apps, such as Apollo and RIF, have said they cannot afford the fees and must shut down, effectively driving users to Reddit’s native app that has been widely panned as slow, buggy and inferior, particularly for users with disabilities. In recent days, Reddit has said it would exempt some accessibility apps from the price changes and allow some third-party tools to continue operating through its application programming interface (API). But many moderators have called the announcements little more than a “microscopic” concession. In response to allegations that Reddit is imposing the fees and forcing developers to shut down in a “profit-driven” move, Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman said in a recent Q&A with users that Reddit will “continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive.” “Unlike some of the [third-party] apps, we are not profitable,” Huffman said. The tensions echo how Twitter, under its new owner Elon Musk, has prompted criticism with plans for its own paywall for data in a bid to develop new revenue sources and to shore up the company’s struggling finances. For Reddit, the stakes are also high to grow revenue, as the company reportedly looks to go public later this year. Huffman reportedly dismissed the blackout in a leaked internal memo obtained by The Verge. According to the memo, Huffman described the protest as “among the noisiest we’ve seen” but insisted that “like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.” “We absolutely must ship what we said we would,” Huffman reportedly wrote in the memo, in an apparent reference to the API changes. Huffman also reportedly predicted that some subreddits would end their protest after the initially scheduled two days. As of Wednesday morning, many groups participating in the blackout had lifted their self-imposed restrictions. But even as some groups went public once more, others joined the protest. Tech WORKER DELETES THOUSANDS OF FILES HE CREATED AFTER FINDING OUT THAT THE COMPANY THAT FIRED HIM FOR BEING ‘INCOMPETENT’ IS STILL USING HIS WORK 14 Jun 2023 Angela Norton annoyed man, deleting files Most companies make new employees well aware that anything they create during work hours is no longer their intellectual property but belongs to the organization they work for. That doesn’t take the sting out of relinquishing the rights to everything you’ve spent time on when you leave employment as one fired employee learned the hard way. In a Reddit post titled “I just deleted thousands of hours of work from my old job,” later shared on a TikTok account called “@reddit_replay,” a man described what happened when he realized his former employer was still using the work he created, despite telling him that he was not competent enough for the job. THE EMPLOYEE WORKED AS A VIDEOGRAPHER, CREATING CONTENT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA. DESPITE PUTTING TOGETHER UP TO 50 VIDEOS EACH DAY, THE MAN CLAIMED TO HAVE ONLY BEEN PAID JUST ABOVE MINIMUM WAGE. RELATED: Woman Fired Because She Didn’t Tell Her Boss Another Coworker Was Looking For A New Job “I was freelancing and was on a loose contract. I was desperate for the money,” he explained while justifying why he would put forth so much effort for so little reward. The workload was “insane,” according to him, but he managed to keep up with the company’s demands for six months. On top of the low pay and crushing work requirements, the freelancer described the office environment as “bitter” and “snide,” and even accused management of stirring up trouble between workers for their own entertainment. As the six-month milestone approached, the contractor compiled the results of the video work he had done, including a graph that measured click-through sales that had come as a result of the content he created. He asked for a pay raise to compensate for the traffic he had delivered and hard work he had put in relentlessly. The man even compared his salary to industry standards to demonstrate that he was being underpaid in hopes that managers would understand and correct his pay. He said that although he could make more money elsewhere, he would love to keep working for the company in the same capacity.

Naturally, the man was beside himself with anger. To make matters worse, he struggled for months to find work. Three years after being tossed aside by a business he had given his all to, the former employee was browsing his personal Google Drive and came across a folder he had created and shared with the company during his tenure. He found that 18 staff members were still actively using his templates, adjustments, and presets to produce content for their social media accounts. He couldn’t believe the company that fired him had the audacity to continue to use the cloud service that he was paying for. So, he saved all of his files to a local drive on his computer and deleted the online folder, leaving no video assets behind for his former employer, including projects already in progress.

An inventions agreement releases all of your rights to things you created while employed. This means that you cannot intentionally destroy proprietary files and data when you are leaving.

The resentful worker would be subject to civil and criminal liability for their actions. > On the other hand, it is totally irresponsible for a company to continue to use cloud storage that they have no ownership over to keep any work-related documentation. The ex-employee had no obligation whatsoever to pay for and maintain their company records once he was let go. A comprehensive offboarding process would have helped to transition the employee out in an organized fashion while repossessing organization-specific information.

Entertainment NEW OBESITY DRUGS COME WITH A SIDE EFFECT OF SHAMING 14 Jun 2023 Cornelius Cross Eileen Isotalo was always able to lose weight, but always gained it back. Now 66, her first diet was with Weight Watchers at age 14. She went on to try one diet after another and bought so many books on weight loss that she thinks she has more than the public library. In desperation, she finally went to a weight management clinic at the University of Michigan. She had sleep apnea and aching knees, but could not curb her appetite. “It’s just this drive to eat,” said Ms. Isoltalo, a retired interior design coordinator. “It’s almost like this panic feeling when you start craving food.” “My mental shame was profound,” she said. Now, though, since she started taking Wegovy, one of a new class of drugs for obesity that was prescribed by her doctor at the clinic, those cravings are gone. She has lost 50 pounds and jettisoned the dark clothes she wore to hide her body. Her obesity-related medical problems have vanished along with much of the stigma that caused her to retreat from family and friends. But like others at the clinic, she still struggles with the fear others will judge her for receiving injections to treat her obesity rather than finding the willpower to lose weight and keep it off. Yet the drug, she said, “changed my life.” Wegovy and drugs like it make this “a very exciting time in the field,” said Dr. Susan Yanovski, co-director of the office of obesity research at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. About 100 million Americans, or 42 percent of the adult population, have obesity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For the first time, people with obesity, who faced a lifetime of medical jeopardy, can escape the ruthless trap of fruitless dieting and see their obesity-related health problems mitigated, along with the weight loss. But there is still the taint. “There’s a moral component to it,” Dr. Yanovski said. “People really believe that people with obesity just need to summon their willpower and they think that taking a medicine is the easy way out.” Unlike other chronic diseases, obesity is on full public display, Dr. Yankovski said. “No one looks at you and knows you have high cholesterol of high blood pressure,” she said. Obesity, she added, “is one of the most stigmatized conditions out there. “ Wegovy and a similar but less effective medication, Saxenda, are the only ones in their class of drugs so far to be approved for the treatment of obesity — others like Ozempic and Mounjaro are diabetes drugs but also spur weight loss. Novo Nordisk, Wegovy’s maker, reports that doctors in the United States have written about 110,000 prescriptions for the drug. Citing a huge demand, the company recently put its advertising for Wegovy on hold. “We can’t make enough,” said Ambre James-Brown, a Novo Nordisk spokeswoman. Supplies are so limited that the company is only selling the drug in the United States, Norway and Denmark, the company’s corporate headquarters. Its high list price of $13,492 a month puts it out of reach for most whose insurance will not cover it. But increasingly many insurers do. The drugs have arrived at a time when researchers have documented the risks of obesity and the futility of prescribing only diet and exercise as a treatment. Decades of studies have consistently shown that very few people can lose excess weight and keep it off with lifestyle changes alone. People with obesity are at risk for a variety of serious medical conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a leading reason for liver transplants in the United States. Losing weight can make some of these complications vanish. Yet the belief persists — fed by diet gurus, influencers and an industry selling supplements and diet plans — that if people really really tried, they could shed pounds. So those who take a drug like Wegovy often end up in uncomfortable situations that are influenced by the common view that obesity is a lifestyle choice. At the University of Michigan clinic there are those like Ms. Isotalo whose reluctance to admit to taking Wegovy stems from her conviction that those who take it are often thought to be cheating. Another patient, though, Katarra Ewing of Detroit, readily tells anyone who asks that she takes the drug. She tried diets, but it was Wegovy that allowed her to lose 90 pounds. She came to the weight management clinic after her all-night shift at a Ford factory, ebullient and vibrant, wearing a vivid green sweater. She has more energy now that she lost the weight, her mood is brighter, her high blood pressure gone. But she discovered an unintended social consequence to weight loss, as many longtime friends fell away. “Only my genuine friends are left and that’s a very small number,” Ms. Ewing said. Obesity medicine specialists say they are not surprised — they see the same thing after people lose weight with bariatric surgery. Relationships shift because obesity is such a defining condition. People of normal weight may feel superior to a friend with obesity and that helps define a relationship — until the friend loses weight. Other friends who themselves have obesity may use the condition as a bonding factor in the relationship. Now that is gone. Another issue is the drugs’ reputation as vanity medications, which has been amplified by comedians’ punchlines at the Oscars and in other high-profile settings. But when Samuel Simpson came to the weight management clinic, he considered losing weight to be a matter of life or death. Mr. Simpson was terrified he’d face the fate of his mother, brother and sister, all of whom had obesity and diabetes. They all developed kidney failure that ultimately killed them, each dying at the age of 59. His first appointment with Dr. Amy Rothberg at the clinic was nearly two years ago, when he was 58. He had obesity and diabetes. Although he was taking high doses of insulin to lower his blood sugar, his kidneys were starting to fail. “I was so afraid,” he said. “Was I going to end up on dialysis like everyone else? I’d be history.” He began with a diet and then Dr. Rothberg added Mounjaro, a drug by Eli Lilly that appears to be even more powerful than Wegovy in eliciting weight loss, but is, so far, only approved for people with diabetes. Now he’s lost 44 pounds, 20 percent of his original weight, and his diabetes is in remission. The weight loss, he said, “turned my life around.” He will tell those who ask how he lost the weight, “I’m not like the roadside preacher but when someone asks me how I did this I will tell them,” he said. Art Regner had a different issue. A garrulous color commentator for the Detroit Red Wings hockey team, he said he was not ready to resort to medication. But when he came to Dr. Rothberg’s clinic he was chagrined. He’d regained 22 of the 76 pounds he lost by dieting. Dr. Rothberg, who is also the medical director of Rewind, a company that counsels diabetic patients, suggested Wegovy or Mounjaro. But Mr. Regner felt he should have enough willpower to do it on his own. He knows his blood sugar is high and is aware of the consequences of diabetes. Dr. Rothberg gently explained to him that it was not his fault he kept regaining weight every time he lost some. “I think biology is conspiring against you,” she said. “I don’t think it’s a matter of willpower.” Mr. Regner was not swayed. “I believe in myself,” he said. “I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and say, ‘Are you going to do it or aren’t you?’” Food & Health POSTS NAVIGATION 1 2 … 95 » Search Search RECENT POSTS * Twitter Hit With $250M Lawsuit From Music Publishers Over “Massive Copyright Infringement” Claim * Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Bars * Ezviz camera review: The H8 Pro 3K offers full circle security * Eclampsia: What It Is And Who’s At Risk * Wes Anderson rounds up all-star cast for sci-fi 'Asteroid City' RECENT COMMENTS No comments to show.
