The weight loss itself very much helps with diabetes, in fact, even if you don't keep it off, assuming the dietary changes are kept (you're just over eating "healthier" food) you're still very likely to be in much better shape.

Have you actually done any reading on this, or dealt with the problem yourself? It's pretty straight forward.
MANY people with 'diabetes' or 'pre-diabetes' can cure it without pills, you just reduce weight, significantly reduce sugar / carbs, preferably exercise.
Curved displays distort the image, they are easily accidentally pressed with palm of hands. Curved displays are basically proven to break, SIGNIFICANTLY easier on dropping.
GLASS screen protectors (to my knowledge) do not exist for them. If you wanted to protect it, properly, the case would need to be significantly 'deeper' the whole thing is unnecessary when I'm content / more than content with a flat phone.
NO ONE cares about your 'chat' applications. In any capacity. You've utterly and completely screwed this up, over and over and over and over (and over!) again.
You didn't make an Android version of 'iMessage' which is all the Android people wanted. You made fairly competent chat apps for the desktop (inside gmail) and promptly ruined them.
You renamed things, you merged things, you closed things, you had 2 or 3 chat systems running at once.
The entire messaging team should be ground up into pig feed. No one there has a fucking clear vision *AT ALL*
The messaging app should work on PC / Mac / Linux, in a browser and or with it's own app. It should also handle SMS, it should work on ALL Andriod phones as a built in chat tool too.
Utterly appallingly bad management of the chat systems, honestly if I actually cared anymore, I'd rant 4x longer. It's *mind boggling* how badly it's been managed for the best part of half a decade, maybe longer.
Nope an no, just no. WhatsApp (while not perfect) is destroying what you offer. Just give up.
I'm a slashdotter, so I'm somewhat of a luddite stuck in old times, for many many technical things. (Or perhaps I just don't like/unnecessary/ change, in design, especially when the end result is worse)
I have a Samsung Note 5, the size, weight, fantastic, it has a FLAT screen, no stupid goddamn 'can't put on a protector' curve. It has a home button, a REAL button. The fingerprint scanner is on the front, on the home button in a convenient location.
Admittedly, it still works pretty well, but one day, I'd like to replace it. *ALL* I would like is an identical phone that's faster, better camera, more storage and more network features, maybe USB C, more battery life if possible.
I do not want a curved display. I do not want fingerprint scanner on the back. I do not want a smaller phone. I do not want one particularly larger. I DO want a/physical/ home, back and multitask button
At the current pace of 'innovation' (read: wank factor) by the time my phone needs replacing, I will not be able to purchase a phone that matches my needs. OR the phone I want will be the 'budget edition' phone from the company, with a weak CPU / features that barely exceeds the Note 5 I had.
I'll say one thing, these guys sure are curing my phone upgrade itch. The Note 8, iPhone X can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. The One Plus 5T can join them (although good on them for the price and flat display)

Based on your username, this is the first time I've had to check if someone was making a parody account your reply was so bad.
However, what if one of them does crack the case on HIV or Herpes or something like that? What if I could take a single injection that made my metoblism 10% faster, increased muscle mass 10% for absoloutely no risk, once off injection?
If they crack the case on all this stuff, it'll be world changing. Oh and while I'm at it, did any of the injections work, not work?
I know a dude who works there and he feels like he's undercover at this point, there's constant inane memos about excessive SJW stuff.
Sure, obviously they do actual work in the place, but the diversity and equality group or whomever they are, really seem to have their fingers in every pie, fussing over the most inane bullshit.
People ditched it because it slowly got worse and worse.
The first few revisions seemed to identify my swipes pretty well, then they slowly got worse
Also one of the absolute KEY features (tricks?) is to delete suggestions you'll never use. I slowly but surely remove idiotic suggestions for words I never used, making it more and more accurate. Then, every couple of updates, somehow the dictionary would be updated and all my damn deletions would be re added. THAT was what finally got me off it. If I could just have a swype style keyboard which remembered my poor vocabulary, it would be vastly more accurate.
Around three years ago, we had articles claiming that we would have 128GB SSDs by this year.
The market went backwards when that price issue hit around near 2 years ago.
All I'd like (and have wanted for 3 years) is a "slow crappy" SSD that's "only" say 400MB/s sustained read and write, with typical SSD access times (or no more than half as slow as current ones) However that being said, in the 6 to 10TB range under 500$ USD.
Looks like it's going to be 2026 at this rate unfortunately.
I can only assume this is something she's responsible for? She's done a great job fucking up Twitter with that block list of hers, very very arbitrary rules to get on it. Once you're in, the damn thing propagates to others, assuming the contents of the list is gospel.
I've never ever tweeted at her, nor used any bad hash tags, yet here I am on, on that list and now spread to others.
There really has been an intense amount for weeks and weeks.
I think my main issue is that someone, who should probably whining and fighting on Reddit politics or something, is so bitter and angry they want EVERYONE to have to discuss this shit, by bringing it here to stir up a fuss. It's effectively trolling at this point.
The Canadian (and Australian) governments are literally traitors to the people of their country. They would rather sell property and permenant residency to rich Chinese than look after the locals.
Why we don't have riots in Canada and Australia over this is beyond me. I guess because it's a slow burn, like a crayfish in the pot, we're getting fucked. And it's awful.

If people are typing in
"Donald Trump is a fucking idiot" then I want to see that, if it's so common, it's quite possible, I MIGHT want that suggestion too, saving me time, that IS the purpose of the suggestions right?
I could type a plethora of other examples, all horrible and nasty, but I'm sure y'all get it. I WANT to see nasty shit, it's part of life.
Also, google fucking destroyed the images search about... 8 or 9 years ago now. As someone who..frequents adult material, google was amazing, you could type in the name of someone and see all kinds of things, including what they were famous for, instantly, if this person is a bukkake queen or a fisting godess or who knows, it would show those pics first, because that is what they're known for. That's never been the same since, even with safesearch off.
Honestly, I'm a Samsung fan but good god are they copying sheep. I'm very very surprised they didn't do what everyone else is and pull it, because it's the new cool thing!!!! (groan)
I am still extremely disappointed about the mandatory curved displays on all models, quite disappointed about the lack of a home button.
Sadly, no sale. Curved displays can't have protectors put on them properly, they break easier, they look bad. No.

No, keeping weight off, is a 95% failure rate.

Even if it's true. Why do we need a bloody Russia post every 12 hours on this site? So people can have political fights? Seriously.
We're not all Americans here. So we're not all crazy about politics, day in, day out.
No more Russia political garbage, stop.

It's going to be playing back streaming audio?
Seriously? A $1000 pair of decent speakers would utterly destroy this thing. I'd wager a $350 pair would actually.
COMPRESSED streaming audio. Admittedly codecs are getting better but few (if any) do streaming lossless.
