Wyatt Cenacs police-focused Problem Areas is now streaming for free on YouTube
The first season of the HBO show Wyatt Cenac'sProblem Areas is now available to watch for free on YouTube(Opens in a new tab).
While Cenac brings a healthy dose of his comedic talents to this show, it's still a very serious series talking about very serious topics. The ten-episode season primarily tackles policing in America, from murders of people of color by law enforcement officers, to the infrastructures that facilitate these oft-repeated heartbreaking and rage-inducing instances of police brutality and abuse of power.
As people are coming together to voice their dissent against countless injustices perpetrated by police forces of the United States and police forces around the world, Problem Areas is a great source of information about the realities of what's going on.
Cenac talks to all kinds of sources across this poignant season of television, from community activists to politicians to police themselves. It gives a well-rounded look not only at specific issues like the murder of Philando Castile by a police officer in Minnesota, but also shows how these different perspectives feed into the conversations around these broader topics.
The first episode of the show is a great entry point into the conversation, beginning with conversations around the murder of Castile and how police are trained.
This is a moment in history where information and context are paramount to understanding these huge demonstrations and the systems that these demonstrators are up against. For those privileged enough to not experience these issues firsthand, or to feel like they don't need to give it their attention, this show may be a great, easily digestible starting point.
You cannot watch Problem Areas and feel like you can ignore what's going on in the world. It begins with a list of headlines about police murdering black people for absolutely no reason other than a false perception of threat. Cenac points out that these things keep happening over and over and over.
That first episode aired over two years ago. To see that we're still seeing this time and time again, that people continue to fear for their lives and lose their lives to police officers, that the streets are packed with people right now who won't let the police get away with their abuses, is to understand how these discussions about and illumination of these detrimental systems is still so important.
The cliché would be to say that Problem Areas is more relevant than ever. The sad thing is it's not. It was just as relevant at the time it first aired. Its points were relevant long before it ever aired, long before Cenac was born. It continues to be relevant and will likely continue to be relevant long after we're all dead, unless the systems in place are ripped out from their roots and replaced with something else entirely that doesn't rely on violence, oppression, and racism to impact its communities.

The Trump family might not love Dictionary.coms word of the year
To say 2017 has been a rough year would be an understatement. If you need some proof of the struggle look no further than Dictionary.com's word of the year: Complicit(opens in a new tab).
On Monday the online dictionary announced(opens in a new tab) that the not-so-reassuring adjective is 2017's standout word because it's "indicative of larger trends that resonated throughout the year."
🙃 🙃 🙃 🙃 🙃
SEE ALSO:
Trump really, really, really wants you to believe he came up with 'fake news'
Defined as "choosing to be involved in an illegal or questionable act," Dictionary.com said the word is associated with everything from Russia's involvement with the U.S. election and Trump's decision to opt out of the Paris Climate Agreement to the ever-growing sexual harassment allegations in today's society.
While the word could surely be applied to several 2017 events, many remember the word "complicit" making waves back in April after Ivanka Trump sparked a debate about whether or not she understood the meaning of the word.
In an interview with CBS, Gayle King asked Ivanka(opens in a new tab) about media reports calling her and her husband Jared "complicit." Ivanka casually replied, "I don't know what it means to be complicit," and naturally the internet had a field day.
"If being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I’m complicit," Ivanka went on.
FYI, girl — that's definitely not what the word means.

After Ivanka's comments, Merriam-Webster Dictionary shared that "complicit" had become the top on-site lookup(opens in a new tab), referencing an SNL sketch from March that showed Ivanka (played by Scarlett Johansson) promoting her new perfume, called, "Complicit."
In the months since, the word has been associated with other aspects of Russia's involvement in U.S. politics — from Facebook ads to email scandals and more.
Complicity outside of Russia
“Lookups for the word complicit increased by nearly 300 percent in searches in 2017 as compared to 2016," Liz McMillan, CEO of Dictionary.com, said in a press release. But the curiosity wasn't solely pegged to the Trump administration and Russia.
Dictionary.com noted that by pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement and not taking enough action against climate change "many feel that we are all directly complicit in the worsening extreme weather patterns that continue to impact people across the globe."
In the entertainment industry and beyond, as more and more sexual assault allegations come to light, complicity of those who aided in the longtime coverups is being discussed. And as tragedies like the opioid epidemic(opens in a new tab) and mass shootings(opens in a new tab) raise important discussions, many argue that complicity can no longer be an option.
Though complicit isn't exactly a positive word, Dictionary.com also revealed some feel-good terms that trended throughout the year too.
Earlier in 2017, the world "intersex" trended thanks to model Hanne Gaby Odiele's open discussion(opens in a new tab), "shrinkage" trended because of a Seinfeld episode, and "tarnation" gained popularity from that famous meme(opens in a new tab), to name a few.
It seems not everything is bad.

Outlander can teach other shows a valuable lesson about sex
This story contains spoilers for Outlander Season 3, episode 11, titled "Uncharted." To refresh your memory of where we left off, check out our episode 10 recap.
Period dramas often have an uncomfortable relationship with consent; whether the setting is fantasy or historical, creators have always used the subjugation of women as a way to emphasize the danger of the time or the irredeemable villainy of an antagonist (exhibit A: Game of Thrones).
But, as Variety's Mo Ryan points out in this searing essay on how TV treats rape(opens in a new tab), it has also become a narrative shortcut to provide drama and character development across genres, regardless of the setting.
Outlander isn't immune to this -- Claire Fraser can barely enter a building without some leering fiend trying to assault her – but in addition to being refreshingly sex-positive(opens in a new tab), the show has always tried to show the physical and emotional cost of sexual violence while also emphasizing the systemic inequality that created rape culture in the first place. It spends a lot of narrative real estate exploring the difficulties that women have always faced because they're treated as objects instead of equals, and the anxiety that some men feel (regardless of the time period), when women express opinions that conflict with their own, whether that's the Porpoise's crewmen side-eying Claire over her superior medical knowledge or Frank's colleagues scoffing at her political views.
Episode 11 explores that tension in fascinating ways; the (coco)nutty Father Fogden objectifies Claire in a manner that's not overtly threatening, but carries a subtle undercurrent of menace that any woman can immediately recognize. At first he seems sympathetic (if eccentric) because he's clearly never gotten over the death of his wife, but he soon starts projecting those protective and possessive urges onto Claire, dismissing her knowledge as a doctor (and her simple desire to leave) and prioritizing his own feelings – a classic sign of emotional abuse.
Credit: starz
It's telling that the other woman in Father Fogden's life, Mamacita, immediately senses the danger when he becomes too proprietary and, in her own subtle way, offers Claire an assist by demanding that she leave. Whether it's because she fears her daughter being replaced or, by womanly intuition, simply knows that no good can come of Father Fodgen fixating on Claire, she makes herself into an ally even when disguising herself as an enemy, utilizing the power she knows she has over the grieving priest to create the only escape route available to Claire in that moment.
Thankfully, fate and shallow shoals bring Claire and Jamie back together soon after, and, taking a page from Diana Gabaldon's book, their reunion presents another welcome opportunity to explore respect and consent.
First, Jamie balks at the prospect of administering a dose of penicillin to Claire when she's feverish – hesitant to do anything that would hurt her, and displaying clear deference to her superior skills as a doctor. Given that the whole season has been full of men trying to undermine Claire's knowledge, this moment is a refreshing sign of how far Jamie's come since Season 1, when he gave his new wife a spanking(opens in a new tab) rather than treating her as an equal – now he's perfectly secure in himself and his relationship, happy to acknowledge that there are plenty of things Claire knows more about than he does.
SEE ALSO:
Why 'Outlander's' Lord John Grey is the hero TV needs
This isn't the first time the show has gone out of its way to emphasize Claire's influence on Jamie; in Episode 8, when Jamie and Claire returned Young Ian to Lallybroch, Gabaldon's book saw Jamie flogging Young Ian as punishment (for both nephew and uncle -- since Jamie then asked Young Ian to flog him in return), but the show took a different tack, with Jamie suggesting that Ian do a menial chore instead.
"It was really to reflect Claire's influence on Jamie because yes, kids were beaten back then, but so were wives," executive producer Toni Graphia tells Mashable. "And when Jamie tried that on Claire, it didn't work. She ended up telling him, 'Don't lay a hand on me again. That's the only way we can stay together.' Jamie's learned something from Claire. Even though this was done to him as a child, and that was the way back then, she's shown him that maybe there're other ways to handle things, and this isn't the best way ... And so we chose that scene specifically to reflect Claire's influence on him."
It's a welcome reminder that Jamie and Claire are partners, and he's not prepared to perpetuate the same damaging behaviors that his forebears did, even if that behavior is expected from a man of his time. (It also speaks to the adaptation process, since some things that might be more tolerable on the page would almost certainly not land in the same way on screen, especially in today's pop culture climate.)
The same is true of how the show treats sex – in "Uncharted," Jamie initially tries to dissuade Claire from being intimate when it's clear that she's feverish, injured and a little drunk from the copious quantities of sherry in Mr. Willoughby's turtle soup, insisting that he doesn't want to "take advantage" when she's not in her right mind.
While plenty of shows have romanticized, laughed off or outright ignored drunken hook-ups between its characters, having Jamie vocalize the fact that Claire's faculties may be a little compromised is a way for Outlander to subtly emphasize the importance of consent(opens in a new tab), especially while someone's under the influence of alcohol. The script has him check in with her several times to make sure she really wants to have sex, lets her drive the action to emphasize her enthusiasm, and demonstrates that she has the presence of mind to physically bolt the door herself to give them privacy.
As The Daily Beast's Lauren Sarner pointed out in her review of Episode 4(opens in a new tab), Outlander always has consent on its mind in ways that other shows don't (and it certainly doesn't hurt that the show employs so many female writers and directors while many others don't). In that episode, Jamie also went out of his way to gain consent from Geneva Dunsany, even after she had blackmailed him into bed and was clearly taking advantage of the power imbalance between them.
That scene also featured both Jamie and Geneva asking permission to touch each other, with Geneva reclaiming her agency by admitting that she wanted her first time to be with a partner like Jamie, not the grotesque old man to whom she was being married off against her will.
As Caitriona Balfe said of the Jamie/Geneva scene in an interview with Marie Claire(opens in a new tab), "I think they approached it from the way of, 'This is a young woman who has decided she's going to take the decision into her own hands about who's going to be her first. I liked it that way because it gives all the power to her. I think that's possibly the only way that scene could have been written and worked out."
And when Claire and Jamie finally reunite in episode 6, even after 20 years apart, Jamie's first instinct isn't to treat his wife like his property and grab her as most men of his time would -- he specifically asks if he can kiss her, leading to one of the most romantic and well-earned moments in the show.
While the TV adaptation of Game of Thrones has added rape scenes(opens in a new tab) – and encounters with dubious consent – that didn't exist in George R. R. Martin's books, it's refreshing that Outlander is here to remind us how vital consent is, especially when so many famous men desperately need that reminder.
Outlander airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Starz.

WeWork acquires Meetup as acquisition spree continues
UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2017, 8:03 a.m. EST This piece has been updated to reflect WeWork's official announcement that it acquired Meetup
WeWork's global empire continues to expand.
The $20 billion coworking startup is reportedly set to acquire social networking service Meetup, according to Crunchbase(opens in a new tab).

WeWork founders want to help children start their own businesses for some reason
Meetup CEO Scott Heiferman reportedly told employees about the acquisition on Monday, and mentioned a $30 million figure, but it's not clear "if that was an acquisition price, or a reference to expected investment into his company from the acquiring entity," according to Crunchbase.
WeWork confirmed the acquisition on Tuesday morning. The company said Meetup would continue to operate as a standalone company for now.
Launched in 2002, Meetup is a social networking service that allows users to organize meetings offline related to their shared interests and passions.
It's a logical union, seeing as WeWork offers rentable space for like-minded people to work on projects.
WeWork has been expanding steadily since launching in 2010 in New York City. Within seven years, WeWork has achieved so-called decacorn status — a startup worth more than $10 billion. In August this year, WeWork raised a whopping $4.4 billion in a funding round from SoftBank.
Between a $32 million investment in women's coworking space The Wing and plans for a private WeWork elementary school in New York, the company certainly isn't sitting on its hands.
WeWork currently has 150,000 members(opens in a new tab) across 171 locations in 18 countries. Meetup, on the other hand, boasts 32.3 million members(opens in a new tab) in 182 countries.

Starbucks had another holiday-colored ace up its sleeve and redirected the attention onto this new cup design. It sheds a deserving light on their continuous charity efforts for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.
"The new red cup is one of the many surprises we’ve had in store for our customers this holiday season," a Starbucks spokesperson told Mashable. "There have always been two cups planned for this holiday season. This year, we intentionally designed our cups so our customers can interpret them in their own way."

According to the spokesperson, by introducing this new cup, Starbucks is encouraging costumers to recognize those who embody goodness during the holiday season by writing the person's name in the heart of the cup.
Starbucks also plans to give away $25,000 grants to 27 lucky winners of a new "Upstanders Challenge" contest. The contest recognizes benevolent individuals and groups who selflessly give back to their communities.
Additionally, on World Aids Day, Dec. 1, Starbucks will also donate 25 cents to the Global Fund for each holiday-themed beverage sold including the Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte and Eggnog Latte.
"This year marks the 20th anniversary of Starbucks holiday cups and it’s a ritual for many that’s as beloved as that first sip of Peppermint Mocha," the spokesperson said.

Ah, this really is the most wonderful time of the year.
UPDATE Wednesday, Nov. 29, 12:34 p.m. PT: American Airlines said in a statement it expects to "avoid cancellations" during the holidays despite the scheduling glitch. Between reserve pilots and paying pilots 150 percent of their hourly rate, the airlines hopes to fill open trips.
Here's the full statement: “We are working diligently to address the issue and expect to avoid cancellations this holiday season. We have reserve pilots to help cover flying in December, and we are paying pilots who pick up certain open trips 150 percent of their hourly rate – as much as we are allowed to pay them per the contract. We will work with the APA to take care of our pilots and ensure we get our customers to where they need to go over the holidays.”
UPDATE Thursday, Nov. 30, 9:26 a.m. PT: In an updated statement American Airlines assured passengers that scheduled flights throughout December are not likely to be canceled. As of Thursday morning the airline said "only a few hundred" flights were still unassigned to pilots -- out of 200,000 December flights.
Here's the company's full statement:
Out of the 200,000 flights American will operate in December, only a few hundred are currently unassigned to pilots. That number of open flights continues to decrease thanks to our pilots who are stepping up to the plate and picking up trips to ensure customers are taken care of. It’s another example of why we are thankful to have such an incredible team. In addition, we have more reserve pilots on hand in December than normal months and they provide us with the ability to fly many of the trips that are currently uncovered. We have not canceled any scheduled flights in December and will continue to work to ensure both our pilots and our customers are cared for.

BeReal promised authenticity online. That doesnt exist.
When I first wrote about BeReal in January it was a novelty. The platform had marketed itself through college ambassadors, and for the most part only college students were using it. Seven months later, BeReal has gone mainstream and become a pillar of the Gen Z social media landscape. While the app was designed as a "realer" alternative to Instagram and TikTok, it quickly became another way to post content.
"BeReal won't make you famous," reads its description in the App Store(Opens in a new tab). "If you want to become an influencer you can stay on TikTok and Instagram." While to my knowledge no one is exclusively a BeReal influencer (yet), influencers, celebrities, and normies are posting BeReals on other, more easily monetized platforms. Posting your coolest or quirkiest BeReal on main is just another way to share the filtered highlights of your life.
SEE ALSO:
BeReal is what 'casual Instagram' wants to be
A BeReal alert goes off once a day, giving you a two-minute window to take a photo. If used as designed, you're forced to post whatever you're doing when it goes off, theoretically making it more authentic than other platforms where you can carefully stage your photos and apply flattering filters. The other draw of the app is that everyone posts at the same time, so you only have to look at it once a day. I thought the platform had the potential to do what casual Instagram thought it was doing and be a rare place for genuineness online. But BeReal has proven that there is no authenticity on social media.
The BeReal notification goes off at a different time every day. Credit: BeReal
While BeReal gives you a two-minute window to post, it still allows you to post later in the day. You just can't view your friends' posts until you post. Because of this workaround many users simply wait until they're doing something notable to post, which defeats the intended purpose of the platform. It also causes you to be constantly inundated with notifications of your friends posting throughout the day. Don't get me wrong: It's still fun to see the highlights of my friends' day, but there isn’t anything novel or subversive about that. I could just watch their Instagram Stories instead.
I understand why you might be inclined to post the best part of your day on BeReal. When I downloaded the app I only added my close friends, treating the app like a finsta because only so many people should have the privilege of seeing me sitting at my laptop everyday. As the app became more popular, looser acquaintances added me, making it more like Instagram where you only post what you're comfortable with a bunch of people seeing. The circle of friends who got me on the platform were driven off the app because more and more people added them.
In the past couple of weeks I’ve seen BeReals popping up in Instagram Stories and TikToks. BeReals capture your front and back camera, making for an alternative addition to your photo dumps. BeReal has filled the space VSCO and Huji left behind as apps that elevate your feeds on other social media platforms. I knew BeReal had solidified its place in the social media ecosystem when Tyler, the Creator posted a BeReal in his most recent, dreamy photo dump(Opens in a new tab).
Additionally, TikTokker @bee.austin posted a TikTok(Opens in a new tab) of the BeReal she took with The 1975 frontman, Matty Healy. The TikTok garnered over 322,000 views and over 66,000 likes in less than 24 hours, proving that securing an iconic BeReal has become another opportunity to go viral. I've seen dozens on videos on my FYP of Harry Styles fans frantically trying to get the pop star in their BeReals at his concert. One posted by @emily.greeen(Opens in a new tab) got over 700,000 views and over 200,000 likes.

The trendiest BeReals take advantage of popularity of the high-wide angle lens, creating an entirely new genre of selfie.
Unfortunately, what was marketed as an authentic social media platform is now just another way to commodify your life.

Despite its drawbacks, YouTube can also be a weird, wonderful world full of deep dives on popular topics. And sometimes those deep dives can be entirely helpful, too.
Such is the case with the world of dog relaxation videos, hours-long clips of music meant to ease the stress and anxiety of dogs. Trying to comfort the separation anxiety felt by my old dog, Franklin (RIP), was a constant struggle. While my newest dog doesn't have the same issues, certain symptoms are definitely prevalent.

So it was with great interest I dove into this world, replacing my usual work day jams with ambient music and atmospheric soundscapes to see what it was all about and, coincidentally, if the music could take the edge off both me and my dog.
These aren't just hours and hours of relaxing tunes, though. It's an entire business. When you search for "dog relaxation music(opens in a new tab)" on YouTube, you'll notice one channel come up over and over: Relax My Dog(opens in a new tab).
The company goes beyond YouTube, though, with a host of services offered on its site(opens in a new tab) and an app that's available across a variety of streaming devices like Apple TV and Roku.
They're even on Spotify(opens in a new tab), if that's more your thing. There are themed albums, like the relaxing Christmas compilation(opens in a new tab) if your dog is the kind that just can't handle their egg nog.
The company claims that it interlaces its music with a "sound sweep technology" which is a "high-pitched noise that runs through a lot of our melodies." The high-pitch noise, the company says, "is designed the same as a dog whistle -- to hold your dogs attention to the music."
Of course, recreating these sounds also depends a lot on the speakers you're using at home, so it's unclear what impact the "high-pitched noise" might have for different listeners.
The actual science behind the music is a bit vague but Amman Ahmed, founder of RelaxMyDog and RelaxMyCat, told (opens in a new tab)The Guardian(opens in a new tab) in 2018 that the music is more influenced by customer feedback than scientific research. And it's intended to also calm humans who can, therefore, project calm for their dogs.
In an email, Ahmed said the video is color-graded "for dog vision and also our scenes are aligned with the music to help promote the mood of that content. So for example each piece of content is designed for a range of common anxiety issues to help with sleep, relaxation and entertainment."
Again, I'm no dog music expert or even dog scientist. But I tried out the "live TV for dogs" stream the company has on YouTube while I worked at home with my hyperactive dog and we both definitely felt calmer.
Of course, there could be any number of reasons my dog is zonked out, whether it's still being tired from his morning walk or just sluggish because of the cold Midwestern winter. And dogs are well known for following huge bursts of energy and play with equally ambitious naps.
Whatever the case, the dog and I were both satisfied and relaxed while playing the video and plenty of customers have heralded RelaxMyDog's success: The company claims an 82 percent approval rating from users.
Ahmed added that he couldn't go in to detail to protect the company's secret sauce, "All our research is based on 7 years of customer feedback. We are in a constant feedback loop from our growing fan base on what sounds, arrangements and frequencies work and as a result we crafted a formula."
Those satisfied users have also been happy to share their experiences on Instagram(opens in a new tab) and on YouTube.

That's a lot of happy, napping pups.
Even if the music isn't backed by bulletproof scientific evidence, it's still a pretty zen way to get you and your dog through a crazy, anxious day-to-day world.
Need a professional headshot? Let AI do it (at your own risk).
As I scroll through my LinkedIn, I can spot multiple people who have updated their profile photos not with an actual picture of them, but with a photo created from artificial intelligence. It looks like them, but not at all. It is as if they met blind, alien artists, described how they looked to the aliens, and then allowed the aliens to replicate them. It's all there, but it's just not right.
For research, I decided to give it a go too. Today, I spent $10 to get 100 AI headshots, and they all scare the absolute shit out of me.
In order to get insulted in 100 innovative ways, I used AI SuitUp(Opens in a new tab), an AI-powered service that promises to generate "high-quality headshots that will take your LinkedIn profile to the next level." It's $19.95 for the shots, but I had a TikTok code a friend sent me — TIKTOK50 — and only had to pay $9.97. A steal!
The next step is to upload 15 photos of myself and a selfie, which means scouring through all the photos on my phone and picking out 15 pictures of myself that actually look like me. After battling my own narcissism, I uploaded them and waited the required 40 minutes to receive them.
The 100 photos can neatly fit into a few categories:
Whose limbs are those?
This person looks racially ambiguous. Let's change that.
Me but without bangs
What if we put a wig on them?
Me committing tax fraud
Maybe one or two of them are usable, but the grand majority of them are not. Something about them is forbidding; like M3GAN, it looks human, but is hiding something sinister. I do not trust the person in those photos and, if I was in any position to hire anyone (I am not), I would not trust the threatening AI-generated headshot, either.

NRA finally admits it was hacked by a ransomware group in 2021
The National Rifle Association (NRA) has just said for the very first time that, yes, the organization was indeed treaded on(Opens in a new tab) when it became victim of a massive hack last year.
The right wing organization best known for fighting common sense gun control measures after school shootings(Opens in a new tab) like the ones at Sandy Hook and Stoneman Douglas — and also acting as a "foreign asset(Opens in a new tab)" to Russia –– confirmed(Opens in a new tab) the ransomware attack in a Federal Election Commission filing(Opens in a new tab) made by the NRA's political action committee (PAC).
The NRA finally admitted to the attack it suffered in the filing because it needed to explain discrepancies in its financial reports previously submitted to the government. The filing says that around $2,485 in contributions to the organization hadn't been “processed correctly." The NRA blamed the hack for the disparity.
In October 2021, a ransomware group known as Grief targeted(Opens in a new tab) the NRA and boasted about the data it had stolen from the gun organization. Grief, which has ties to the Russia-based cybercriminal ring Evil Corp., allegedly stole tax, grant, and investor information from the NRA and posted the stolen information on its website. Grief later released more sensitive personal and financial data, such as bank accounts numbers.
At the time, the NRA would not confirm or deny the hack, releasing(Opens in a new tab) a statement that claimed that the "NRA takes extraordinary measures to protect information regarding its members, donors, and operations – and is vigilant in doing so."

We now know they weren't quite vigilant enough. Grief's ransomware campaign attacked the NRA on Oct.20 and the gun group felt the effects well into November. The NRA's internet access, emails, and online networks were subject to varied levels of downtime for weeks.
It's unclear if the NRA ever paid a ransom to Grief in order to avoid the further release of any other stolen data.

A $4,000 inflatable colon has been stolen, and people want answers
A $4,000 inflatable colon was stolen and absolutely no one knows why, or who stole it.
The colon was stolen from the University of Kansas Cancer Center off the back of a pick up truck in Kansas City, Kansas on October 19, the (opens in a new tab)Wichita Eagle(opens in a new tab) reports(opens in a new tab).

The colon itself doesn't look like much more than a salmon-colored tunnel, but it's importance stems from its use as a teaching tool. And as luck would have it, the colon was actually en route to a walk/run event on Saturday to educate people about colon cancer when it was stolen.

YouPorn bans Starbucks products from its offices after the cafe chain bans porn
Starbucks doesn't want customers using each cafe's free WiFi to look at porn. Now, YouPorn has apparently responded with a blanket ban on Starbucks products in its offices.
The coffee company confirmed on Thursday that a plan is in motion to prevent customers from accessing online pornography over in-store WiFi. "We have identified a solution to prevent this content from being viewed within our stores and we will begin introducing it to our U.S. locations in 2019," a spokesperson said.

That's probably a smart move for a family-friendly business like Starbucks, but YouPorn had a little fun with the news. In an internal memo obtained by Forbes(opens in a new tab), YouPorn vice president Charlie Hughes imposed a blanket ban on Starbucks products in the company's offices, effective Jan. 1, 2019.
"In light of the news that Starbucks has blocked customers from searching and viewing adult content within their establishments, Starbucks products will officially be banned from the YouPorn offices," Hughes wrote.
(A YouPorn spokesperson later confirmed to Forbes the authenticity of the memo.)
It's hard to imagine an employer actually taking disciplinary action against one of its workers over their coffee brand preference. Maybe Hughes is serious, but the more likely explanation is this memo "leak" is just a clever public relations move aimed at getting YouPorn into a few headlines.
In which case, job well done. In the dumpster fire that is our current 24-hour news cycle, YouPorn's silly, hopefully non-serious clapback at this sensible move from Starbucks amounts to a welcome break.

Redesigned Google Fit makes daunting fitness goals more achievable
Raise your hand if you walk 10,000 steps a day or complete 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity or 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week as recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA).
It's wonderful if you do — you're living a healthy and active life. But most Americans fall short of these recommended fitness goals, putting them at higher risk of getting health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or dementia.
Why? The goals feel unachievable. To help correct this, Google reached out to the AHA to build a revamped Google Fit app and platform that better translates its physical activity guidelines into more achievable goals that Americans can incorporate into their daily routines. Basically: You don't need to have a gym membership in order to live a healthy and active life.

Google One officially launches with cheaper storage plans
Google Fit launched in 2014 as an all-in-one dashboard for Android and Wear OS (formerly Android Wear) users to track all of their physical activities and monitor their health.
The app has added numerous features over the years, and while it's great to have so much data on oneself, non-power users have found it overwhelming.
During a sit-down preview for the new Google Fit app rolling out to Android, Wear OS, and iOS users immediately, Google Fit's senior product manager, Margaret Hollendoner, told me the drop-off for Fit users was unsurprisingly high. Most users set up their Fit profiles and then gradually over time, they give up on their goals.
"As we talked to our users and tried to learn more about what their experience was, we heard that the flexibility of the app that might have worked for some power users was quite overwhelming for these people," says Hollendoner.
Hollendoner listed a variety of reasons for why users might become unmotivated to continue staying active, including (but not limited to): dauntingly high goals and seasonal changes or holiday disruptions.
"10,000 steps seemed really daunting to these people who were really far from that total," says Hollendoner. "They weren't really seeing any results for the effort they were putting in and so they were losing motivation and struggling to stay motivated over time.
Together with the AHA, Hollendoner and the Wear OS team worked to create a new way to measure success, while simultaneously meeting the organizations recommended guidelines.
New metrics: Move minutes and Heart Points

Though it may be fairly obvious what the AHA's weekly 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity or 150 minutes of moderate physical activity means, it turns out there's a larger portion of the American population that has no clue what that really shakes out to.
What's considered moderate activity and what's considered vigorous? Hollendoner and her team set about to better define them with the new Google Fit app.
The new Google Fit is no less robust than the version it replaces. It still tracks everything the old app did (steps, calories, heart rate, weight, etc.) and still pulls in data from third-party apps like the running and cycling app Strava, but how this data is presented is all new.
"We are still learning what it takes to communicate those guidelines best to Americans," says Laurie Whitsel, Vice President of Policy Research and Translation at the American Heart Association. "At the American Heart Association, we're really supportive of companies like Google that are taking that step to incorporate evidence-based recommendations into applications that transform lives."

Instead of focusing primarily on steps or minutes of any particular physical activity, the new Google Fit uses two new metrics to measure activity intensity: Move Minutes (moderate) and Heart Points (vigorous), represented with a blue and green ring, respectively.
"We learned from the AHA that while steps are a great way to get people moving, the intensity of the activity is really when you start to see health benefits in terms of the effort you're putting in, more so than the amount of activity you're getting," says Hollendoner.
The new Google Fit uses two new metrics to measure activity intensity: Move Minutes and Heart Points.
With Move Minutes and Heart Points, the new Google Fit encourages user to live a less sedentary lifestyle, but also to get their hearts rates up, which has been scientifically proven to be good for your health.
"If you look at the health benefits of people who meet the 150 minutes a week, there's a 35 percent reduction in heart disease in those people," Kapil Parakh, Medical Lead for Google Fit and a practicing cardiologist, explained to me.
"It's beyond just the heart — levels of diabetes are 45 percent lower. If you look at falls, depression, and dementia it's 25 percent lower. Even cancer is 20 percent lower. Breast cancer and colon cancer in people who are meeting the 150 minute guideline is 20 percent lower. It's pretty remarkable the spectrum of health benefits."
Move Minutes and Heart Points are far easier to understand and less overwhelming to process Hollendoner says.
Per the AHA's Move and Heart Point translations of its recommended time-based physical activity goals, Fit recommends users get at least 60 minutes of movement per day and at least 10 Heart Points. After a week of tracking, the app will slowly suggest higher goals, based on your consistency.
Move Minutes basically shame you for sitting all day long. Get up and move your butt!Credit: RAYMOND WONG/MASHABLE
Move Minutes are self-explanatory: For every minute you move, you get closer towards your Move Minutes goal. A Move Minute is any moderate intensity movement tracked by your Android phone or Wear OS smartwatch. Any heart rate that's 50-69 percent above your max predicted heart rate is considered moderate intensity, Parakh says.
Heart Points, on the other hand, measure vigorous activity. Users get one Heart Point for every Move minute and two points if you dial up the activity if your heart rate is 70 percent or higher than your normal heart rate.
Move Minutes and Heart Points are designed to help motivate users to stay active throughout their day with small changes.
For example, picking up the pace while you're walking from the train station to the work office could be recorded as a vigorous activity if gets your heart rate high enough. All that gardening work you do every weekend? That counts as vigorous physical activity towards your goals.
The traditional physical workouts still count (Google Fit recognizes up to 120 different physical activities), so if you're into rowing, or running, or biking, or anything that gets your heart rate going higher than usual, they'll still be logged and translated into Heart Points.
Heart Points measure vigorous intensity aka when you get your heart rate up.Credit: RAYMOND WONG/MASHABLE
"It's not the case that you need to buy a gym membership or suddenly start working out if you're not doing so today," says Hollendoner. "That's the kind of thing we want people to understand — design a metric to help users realize this is something they could do in their daily routines and that that would have a much greater impact on their health than sort of quantity of exercise alone."
In many ways, the new Google Fit feels like it's gamifying physical activities. And honestly, there's nothing wrong with that. Anyone who uses Apple Watch for fitness-tracking will know that the smartwatch is effective in essentially guilting you into "closing the rings" and completing your daily fitness goals. The new Google Fit is no different than that.
If a user sees they've already completed their Move Minute goal, but haven't for their Heart Points, they may actually take action and walk quicker instead of slowly.
When I asked if these two metrics were exclusive for Google to use, Hollendoner told me they're not.
"It's a new concept in Google Fit, but it's going to be in the Fit platform too," says Hollendoller. "We are reaching out to all of the partners like Strava — so if I've got my activity from Strava that are showing up here we can give people credit for what they're doing in the Fit app, but we're also making Heart Points available in the platform so that Strava and other apps can start to pick up on this concept.
"And hopefully other apps will start to use it and it'll become more reinforcement for the existing recommendations and guidelines. So it's not intended to be exclusively for Google Fit, but that's where users will see it first."

More achievable fitness goals
Google showed me a preview of the new Google Fit app working on a Wear OS-powered Fossil smartwatch as well as on iOS and Android and I have to admit it's quite nice.
I'm not ashamed to say that I really relate to the majority of Google Fit users. I liked that the old version of the app was so detailed with my fitness data, but I personally found the goals impossibly difficult to achieve so I gave up on using it.
I also like that the app has more emphasis on celebrating successes with features like the trophy section, which includes all of your accomplished goals and detailed breakdowns for them. It seems like such a silly thing – that you'd need little digital awards to provide reinforcement — but it goes a long way to making sure you actually continue to maintain your goals.
The new Google Fit app feels lighter, but still powerful. Power users still have access to an immense amount of data. Most importantly, at a glance, the two new metric goals, Move Minutes and Heart Points, make physical activity feel less like work and more like a regular part of your life (because it is and should be).
Starbucks reveals an all new holiday cup, says it had nothing to do with that weird controversy

Starbucks had another holiday-colored ace up its sleeve and redirected the attention onto this new cup design. It sheds a deserving light on their continuous charity efforts for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.
"The new red cup is one of the many surprises we’ve had in store for our customers this holiday season," a Starbucks spokesperson told Mashable. "There have always been two cups planned for this holiday season. This year, we intentionally designed our cups so our customers can interpret them in their own way."

According to the spokesperson, by introducing this new cup, Starbucks is encouraging costumers to recognize those who embody goodness during the holiday season by writing the person's name in the heart of the cup.
Starbucks also plans to give away $25,000 grants to 27 lucky winners of a new "Upstanders Challenge" contest. The contest recognizes benevolent individuals and groups who selflessly give back to their communities.
Additionally, on World Aids Day, Dec. 1, Starbucks will also donate 25 cents to the Global Fund for each holiday-themed beverage sold including the Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte and Eggnog Latte.
"This year marks the 20th anniversary of Starbucks holiday cups and it’s a ritual for many that’s as beloved as that first sip of Peppermint Mocha," the spokesperson said.
