| Hamas elects former deputy Haniyeh as new political chief Posted: 06 May 2017 09:33 AM PDT  By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA (Reuters) - The Palestinian movement Hamas on Saturday elected Ismail Haniyeh to head its political office, a leadership change that comes as the Islamist group looks to reconcile with Palestinian rivals. Haniyeh, a former deputy chief, will replace Qatar-based veteran Khaled Meshaal, who steps down at the end of his term limit just as Hamas appeared to have softened its stance toward Israel in a new policy document last week. The group maintains a sizeable armed wing in the Gaza Strip since seizing the coastal territory in 2007 from the rival Fatah party, which is based in the West Bank, and has fought three wars with Israel.Israeli officials had no immediate comment on the election.

| So much winning: Trump No. 1 most-mocked president on late shows, study finds Posted: 05 May 2017 01:17 PM PDT  One of President Trump's campaign promises was putting Americans back to work — and he's certainly done his part for the writing staffs of late night comedy shows. Indeed, during the course of Trump's first 100 days in office, 1,060 jokes were made at his expense on late night programs, a new George Mason University study found. The report, released Thursday by the school's Center for Media and Public Affairs, examined 2,094 political jokes from the opening monologues of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "The Daily Show With Trevor Noah," finding that more than half of those zingers were lobbed at the leader of the free world.

| Another iPhone supplier hit by Apple’s supply changes Posted: 06 May 2017 11:31 AM PDT 
The iPhone 8 is good news for various component suppliers who live and die by Apple's orders. The device is expected to pack a bunch of new features that require specialized hardware — that's why the phone is rumored to see launch delays of up to two months. But it appears that Apple is also shopping for other suppliers when it comes to smartphone components we're used to seeing in today's phone. And that means one more Apple suppliers will feel the pain of losing iPhone orders. According to Bloomberg, Bosch will manufacture some of the motion sensors that go into the iPhone, which means InvenSense will take a hit in the process. InvenSense joins a growing list of suppliers whose revenue can be seriously affected by Apple's business. Imagination announced that Apple will drop its GPU designs for the iPhone within two years. A report recently said Apple is developing its own battery management chip and dumping Dialog in the process. Bosch may supply as much as half of the motion sensor Apple needs for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7s this year, with the other half left to InvenSense, which was the sole manufacturer of such parts for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7. Bosch also makes the barometric pressures for the iPhone. The motion sensors include gyroscopes and accelerometers and are critical for any iPhone, including the iPhone. They let the iPhone tell how the user is interacting with the device and apps, how the phone is held, and monitor health-related activity.
InvenSense, however, saw this move coming. The company's CFO Mark Dentinger said during an August investor conference that while it was dominant "by a considerable margin" at the top of the smartphone market, it wasn't likely to keep that position. Apple is known for seeking more than one supplier for the same component to make sure it has enough parts to go around and to get better deals.

The lower goal was a demand of poor countries and island states at high risk of climate change effects such as rising sea levels.

| Delta apologizes after threatening parents with jail time over a seat they purchased Posted: 05 May 2017 10:47 AM PDT  Sigh. Another day, another airline saying "we're sorry." This time, it's Delta. The airline issued an apology Thursday for an incident in which a Delta employee and a police officer threatened parents with jail time over a seat they'd booked for their son. Brian and Brittany Schear, the passengers Delta booted from their April 23 flight, shared video of the incident on Thursday. Theirs is the latest in a string of videos highlighting customer service issues between employees and passengers. Can we please get it together, airlines? SEE ALSO: Delta threatens parents with jail for trying to use a seat they bought Delta's statement reads: Video of the incident shows Brian Schear arguing with a police officer and presumably a Delta employee over a seat he'd originally purchased for his teenage son. The couple was also traveling with their young children, aged 2 and 1, and had initially planned to hold the kids on their laps for the duration of the flight. When Schear's eldest son booked a seat at the last minute on an earlier flight, Schear decided to use the original seat for his 2-year-old instead. From there, the situation spun out of control. Delta overbooked the flight, meaning people were waiting to board while attendants looked for extra seats. When Schear refused to give up his teenage son's seat — now his toddler son's seat — Delta employees removed his family from the flight, citing incorrect FAA regulations. As Reuters notes, Delta's apology came the same day that the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security held a hearing on airline costumer protections. The hearing is a response to the now infamous video of Dr. David Dao being dragged off a United Airlines flight.

| Everyone is sharing this comic about the 'backfire effect' ... but there's a huge catch Posted: 06 May 2017 08:05 AM PDT  You've probably already seen The Oatmeal comic in your social media feed several times now. Its beautiful illustrations are paired with an elegant, clever explanation about something called the "backfire effect." Basically, it describes why people double down on their beliefs when presented with contradictory information. SEE ALSO: What Facebook must do to prepare its 3,000 new moderators for the trauma they'll face The cartoon is powerful because we can all relate to that feeling of using facts to inform a heated political debate or sway someone's opinion and getting nowhere. And that's exactly the problem the comic's author, Matthew Inman, wanted to address, especially in the wake of Donald Trump's election. You're not going to believe what I'm about to tell you https://t.co/XwFjK9EOyl pic.twitter.com/QRSalVfuKK — Matthew Inman (@Oatmeal) May 2, 2017 The only problem is that political scientists aren't sure the backfire effect is a real thing, and if it does exist, it may be rare. We know what you're thinking: Why do the fact police have to ruin the best thing that happened to your social media feed all week? The cartoon is pretty, funny, smart, and even hopeful about the importance of finding common ground when we vehemently disagree. That's all great stuff, and very important. But what you should keep in mind while reading the cartoon is that the backfire effect can be hard to replicate in rigorous research. So hard, in fact, that a large-scale, peer-reviewed study presented last August at the American Political Science Association's annual conference couldn't reproduce the findings of the high-profile 2010 study that documented backfire effect. FWIW idea that backfire fx always happen = not even true in our initial study. But I've revised my priors a lot as we & others did more work — Brendan Nyhan (@BrendanNyhan) March 26, 2017 Tom Wood and Ethan Porter, political scientists and assistant professors at The Ohio State University and George Washington University, respectively, and co-authors of the recent study, say they came to the subject of backfire effect as "acolytes." They found this particular explanation of human behavior so compelling that they wanted to dedicate a good portion of their research to understanding and identifying it. So they challenged 8,100 people's knowledge of abortion, gun violence, undocumented immigration, fracking pollution, and dozens of other issues that stir intense emotions. But study participants didn't demonstrate the tendency to embrace falsehoods even more after being told the truth. Technically, they did observe a backfire effect when people were questioned about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but even that finding came with caveats because of the question's complicated wording. "We were desperately looking for any evidence ... and to our dismay it's impossible to replicate," says Wood. This is important, Wood and Porter say, because if the backfire effect exists, it means something really depressing about our politics. After all, if sharing objective facts with someone leads them to believe the falsities you challenge more intensely, then what's the point? "If we believe that everybody is backfiring all the time, there's very little hope for political engagement," says Porter. Now, this doesn't mean that Inman's comic is inherently wrong. Brendan Nyhan, the political scientist who co-authored the 2010 study, has found evidence in subsequent research that people may insist on false beliefs despite being presented with new information. At the same time, Nyhan has since collaborated with Porter and Wood on research that shows fact-checking can be effective. Whether or not there is a backfire effect, the behavior Inman describes is real; political scientists know it as motivated reasoning and confirmation bias. These well-researched psychological phenomena mean that we can be prone to choosing information and data that support our worldview while diminishing or dismissing evidence that contradicts it. To be clear, that's a lot different than learning something is false and endorsing that lie or half-truth even more. Moreover, Porter and Wood's study indicates people do actually heed corrective information. Fun comic - labeled as being about the backfire effect, but really considers disconfirmation bias more generally https://t.co/UWRAjVMlYi — Brendan Nyhan (@BrendanNyhan) May 3, 2017 The trouble is that even when we learn that something is false, we may be able to acknowledge those facts without changing our political position accordingly. A person's political identity, say Porter and Wood, isn't easily influenced by learning, for example, that Trump routinely spreads false information about pretty much everything, or that Hillary Clinton has told her share of half-truths. You can sum up that tension like this, says Wood: "My guy happened to tell a fib — sure no one is perfect — but I'm not going to go out and vote for the other guy." That still leaves the rest of us trying to figure out how to talk through our dueling beliefs, which is where Inman's comic shines. "The emotional core of this is about this idea of how we resist things and how do we get [people] to soften," he says. Image: matthew inman / the oatmeal Inman knows from his own experience on the internet that marshaling all the facts in the world can't, for example, convince some people that climate change is real. If the backfire effect is real, nihilism might be the most appropriate response to the prospect of influencing anyone's attitudes or beliefs with facts. But Inman rejects that approach and instead invokes our common humanity and ends with a bipartisan plea to listen. "I'm not here to take control of the wheel," he writes. "Or to tell you what to believe. I'm just here to tell you that it's okay to stop. To listen. To change." Those common sense words of wisdom are the best part of the comic, and you don't really need science to confirm that the ability to listen and change is essential to a more civil, informed politics.
