China tightens the screws: Influencers now need degrees to speak on finance, health, law | Today News China has rolled out a new law requiring influencers to prove their qualifications before posting about topics like finance, health or law. While officials call it a fight against misinformation, crit...

China has passed a new law mandating that anyone creating social media content on sensitive topics like medicine, law, education or finance must hold formal qualifications such as a college degree in those fields.

Imagine an internet where people actually had to know what they were talking about.

Nvidia hitting $5T is the biggest sign of the bubble nearing a pop we've seen yet. This isn't going to be pretty when it happens.

Singletons with Swift Concurrency I see singletons used a lot in Swift projects. These things are, by definition, global state. That means they can be accessed from any context - any thread or actor - at any time. And this property ma...

Eight Sleep adds β€˜outage mode’ to smart beds after AWS problems left them frozen Eight Sleep became No Sleep

Eight Sleep owners were shocked to find they could not adjust their beds using the app when AWS was down. The company has now put out an update that uses Bluetooth so beds won't be stuck in an upright position because you were reading in bed whenever there's an AWS outage.

Welcome to the future.

So you have to ask your user to log back in every 2 weeks regardless of activities? Not very UX friendly.

That is a weird strategy. For comparison, Google refresh tokens will expire after 6 months of inactivity or right away if the user changes his password.

#my2cents. Perhaps not but Obj-C coverage is non-existent compared to Swift.

Well they did « almostΒ Β» deprecate Objective-C. But…. That’s no a UI framework.

Frankly Linear did a tremendous job with their latest mobile release. Implementing custom frosted UI elements that are way more visually pleasing then Liquid Glass.

I wish they would open source these UI components.

Adoption rate would be phenomenal and prove an excellent point.
