Your Life Goals enabler, Bajaj Allianz Life Good morning, After years of not being able to borrow your Android charger, Apple is ditching Lightning cables in favor of the more ubiquitous USB-C. The iPhone 15 and AirPods Pro will join iPads and Macbook laptopsâand plenty of other non-Apple devicesâin requiring the USB-C cable for charging. The change was essentially forced on the company due to a EU law requiring devices like smartphones, tablets and cameras to use USB-C as a universal charging standard. You can send your Lightning cables to Apple, and the tech giant has pledged to recycle them, or you can do so in-store at Best . Letâs into the headlines, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, arrives for the inaugural AI Insight Forum in Washington. Tech titans including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates met with lawmakers Wednesday for a closed-door AI forum where the executives pitched broad regulatory frameworks for AI and warned of the existential dangers that could come with the uncontrolled advancement of the booming technology. Musk told reporters while leaving the summit that AI presents a âcivilizational risk,â adding thereâs a lowâbut not zeroâthat âAI will kill us .â A federal judge ruled the Deferred for Childhood Arrivals program illegal Wednesday, putting into question the Obama-era policy that protects more than 500,000 immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. The Biden Administration is expected to appeal the ruling, which will likely make its way to the conservative-majority Supreme Court. The death toll from catastrophic flooding in Derna, Libya, could reach as high as VEVts city officials estimate, as international aid begins to arrive in the country and rescue teams plead for help recovering bodies amid growing fears of infectious disease outbreaks. More than 25335 bodies have been recovered in Derna so far. Consumer registered their largest monthly increase since January, rising 09 in the 12-month period ending in August, despite the Federal Reserveâs aggressive interest hikes to curb inflation. Surging gas were the biggest driver of the uptick, but core inflation, which excludes the more fickle food and energy indexes, came in at its lowest level in nearly two years. If you knew then what you know , would you have made the same decision? In the last fifty years, more than 25,000,000 Americans have died prematurely due to cigarette smoking. Worldwide, itâs significantly higher. Thatâs fifty times as many U.S. citizens as died in World War II. How did cigarette marketers manage to keep selling their product for decades once the danger was known? And are we able to see how many industries use this playbook to sell us on actions that are against our interests? The key drivers of widespread impact are status and affiliation. The status of doing what James Dean or another movie star did in a movie. The status of a rock star or a spy. Women didnât smoke much in public until a well-publicized stunt had society women causing a scandal by smoking while walking in the Easter Day parade on Fifth Ave. in York. It shouldnât work, but it does. Status cues. And affiliation? Peer pressure, the of the Marlboro Man, the social requirements created by the high-status folks who required it⦠No teenager wants to be left behind by their peers. The same thing happened with the seemingly less fatal but also expensive meme of a diamond engagement ring. Using similar tactics, DeBeers created status expectations and cultural standards that pushed people to spend billions of on small rocks. And, surprisingly, again with gas stoves. I got tricked by this, as did of others. Walking away from the affiliation of what our parents did (those spiral electric heating elements) to the power and status of a gas stove that seemed right out of Prometheus. Of course, traditional diamond mining is brutal, dangerous and dirty. And we know, and have known for a long time, that gas stoves in a kitchen or apartment are needlessly dangerous, particularly to children and others that breathe. And yet we resist! We donât want to give up that thing that is part of our identity, that we grew up with or aspire to acquire. It doesnât really matter that there are elegant and beautiful alternatives to the stones, or that an induction cooktop works even better than gas. Itâs the story and the way it was sold to us (they hustled Bob Hopeâs writers to give him jokes where the punchline was âweâre cooking with gasâ). The status quo is resilient. Almost everyone in the jewelry business or the appliance business will do fine (perhaps even better) if we switch. Unless you own a diamond mine or a pipeline company, switching to a more resilient, safer and kinder alternative is probably good for business. But the stories persist. The stories about status, about affiliation and the risk . hvbT8w2sxA48-T4U4Usx23/8wUs9iv3s-xSZhLIFgLQquwPszC1jnd14p2VryQ|Vwl9NyliR/sUmvm3T3sLIFgMd9dsUUxb3
