Talking to him, I'm reminded of the Washington Post's rouse in 2007, when the paper had the nation's premier violinist, Joshua Bell, fiddling away in a busy DC metro station at rush hour, and only a couple commuters took a second to pause from their hurried routine.
When I was ten years old, I had a dream about a weird house and when I woke up, I had to build it out of cardboard and whatever else I could find, so I guess I've been fiddling with this sort of thing for a while.
Albright timed the research project to cover the lead up to the US midterms, which represent the next major domestic test of Facebook's democracy-denting platform — though this time it appears that homegrown disinformation is as much, if not more, in the frame than Kremlin-funded election fiddling.
And I know how that makes me sound: My papou emigrated from Greece with nothing, entering the U.S. via Mexico after days spent scraping barnacles from ships in a Tampico harbor, and now I'm exhausted at the thought of fiddling with too many wireless settings on my cellphone.
Those are the bone conduction speakers, and although it takes a bit of fiddling to get them in the sweet spot, they work just fine and won't bounce around if you've got the thing on right; a normal strap would also remain more or less firmly against your temple.
The same compulsions that have him fiddling with a succession of wet wipes as he speaks can be identified in "Work No. 20016," which consists of a group of cactuses lined up according to height, or "Work No. 129: A Door Opening and Closing," which it does, ad infinitum.
I was with the raccoons of the rooftop, who were now down fiddling with the bicycle lock on the garbage can at the end of the road, with the red-shouldered hawk chicks breathing alone in the nest, with the armadillo forcing its armored body through the brush.

The others at the table were Zhang, a surly 27-year-old who spent most of his time fiddling with his smartphone; Hu, a 28-year-old woman married with two kids; and Guo, an affable 40-year-old with a set of pearly white fake front teeth.
Thandie Newton as Maeve and Jasmyn Rae as Homestead Girl Speaking of which, the designers fiddling with poor Maeve's personality in their attempts to make her more sexually attractive makes for a sad sight — but these scenes have the positive side effect of letting actress Thandie Newton demonstrate her skill.
The scale of these allegations is the most evident explanation for the popular outrage over the scandal, which touches on sensitive themes in South Korea, including the fiddling of highly competitive university admissions (for Ms Choi's daughter); the power of cults; and the collusion of elites in business and government.
The TAC PRO M2 allowed me to use its companion app to finely tune how the device handles deadzones and acceleration speeds, but after hours of fiddling and watching other players' configurations on YouTube, I never got it to a point where it'd be worth using over a normal controller.
"We were trying to make it more fun, so we thought about how we could make the experience of changing the battery interesting, not just pulling out the cover and the batteries," says Lee, fiddling with the pop-off battery cover of an LG V10 to exaggerate the action's awkwardness.
Portraying a gay young man who moves from composing songs for his father to composing them for himself, he transforms before our eyes from a rebellious boy fiddling with a recording console into a live-wire performer, half Tina Turner, half Mick Jagger and all strutting bravado and androgynous sex appeal.
It's not the most stellar piece of audio equipment at its price point, but Google's engineered something that works right out of the box, while Smart Sound means you won't have to do any EQ fiddling in the off-chance that you end up moving it from its current position.
At the end of all those decades of distortion: the new Republican tax plan, with its cuts in the corporate tax rate, an increase of the standard deduction, some fiddling with income tax rates in different brackets and absolutely nothing in the way of simplification, rationalization or believable revenue neutrality.
There's no actual science to back up this hypothesis, but we think if your headphones are on-point, you can spend a little less time fiddling with your earbuds and a lot more time being inspired by Beyoncé to do the actual exercises that you hauled yourself to the gym to do.
Long enough to hear the wind in the already wind-bent pines, the wind in his ears, the wind in his trouser legs, the pebbles under the soles of his shoes, his hand fiddling with coins in the pocket of his leather jacket, the oystercatcher's shrill, Morse-like biik-biik-biik-biik.
More generally, as Facebook has faced a drop-off in user growth in mature markets, it's been looking for more ways to engage those users it already has, in competition with a plethora of rival social media services and dozens of other digital distractions, from Netflix to games to fiddling with your smart home appliances.
They're full of little people-to-people interactions: a wave to let the dad behind the stroller that that you're going to stop and let him cross; a nod to tell the other driver to inform him that you're waiting for this woman fiddling with her keys to finally pull out of her spot.
To be fair, fiddling with the car on the show floor for 10 minutes isn't a comprehensive review, but when you're comparing it to the best that Mercedes, BMW, and Audi have to offer — not to mention new cars from Volvo and Hyundai/Genesis — I don't know that this Lincoln Continental is enough to win.
We're off south on a delivery job when I point out that we can listen to some tunes as we make our way across the desert, and we fall back into our traditional car roles: me, the annoying passenger who keeps fiddling with the radio; Dad, the grump who wants some peace and quiet.
Instead of fiddling with wires and circuits to do this (or solving a tired hacking mini-game) you instead sit down at a lathe (you'd be forgiven for seeing it as a pottery wheel, though) with a block of material, a set of specialized tools, several design templates, and of course some super chill tunes.
Much of the art is interactive, meant for lingering: a wall of scrapable sequins by Lara Schnitger, which never didn't have a few dozen teenagers fiddling with it; pastel industrial-collapse animal statue benches from Serban Ionescu, which provided succor for glum-looking shoppers; a psychedelic mural with embedded QR codes from Jeanette Hayes.
The problem, as the Beatles song experiment showed, is that this kind of fiddling around allows researchers to manipulate their study conditions until they get the answer that they want—the grownup equivalent of kids at a slumber party applying pressure on the Ouija board planchette until it spells out the words they're looking for.
The feature allows Apple Pay users to simply hold their devices at transit terminals without having to authenticate via Touch ID or Face ID. It saves people fiddling around in front of you during busy rush hour times, and it makes it much quicker to use trains, buses, and the tube network in London.
The new law would have criminalized The Guardian newspaper for publishing the leaked Edward Snowden documents (for which the newspaper won a Pulitzer), but it would also have prevented The Daily Telegraph newspaper publishing the details of a leak of British MPs' expenses, which uncovered widespread fiddling -- and in some cases, criminal misuse -- of taxpayers' money by politicians.
More From i-D: In 2013, Frankie*, a 27-year-old European transplant from China, who prefers not to use her actual name since her job requires a certain level of anonymity, decided she was done scrutinizing her appearance and fiddling around with makeup techniques that claimed to be catered to those with monolids like her.
"While people are losing their jobs, losing their income, and shutting down the economy, which we have had to do to deal with this public health crisis, they are fiddling around with Senate procedure that could, if one senator objected, take us all the way to the end of the week to solve this problem," McConnell said.

The Hero 7 is also undeniably a clunkier user experience than the Hero 8, both in terms of hardware—the need to take off the mounting cage to change batteries or SD cards will never stop being annoying—and in software, the lack of customization in menus means more fiddling to change settings compared to the Hero 8.
We made portraits of ourselves when we had no idea who were; we tried to find garden landscapes that we were destroying as fast as we could paint them; we painted Indians as fast as we could kill them; and during the greatest technological jump in history, we painted ourselves as a bunch of fiddling rustics.
Whether you're an aspiring novelist who goes through reams of paper printing 18 versions of your latest manuscript, a student racing to finish a last-minute paper, or a design professional fiddling with various layouts for a piece of print collateral, there are a variety of scenarios in which home printing technology is a godsend in our modern day and age.
"Irrespective of the ECB fiddling around at the edges of what they can do with monetary policy - in the same way as the Japanese have done with theirs - the ECB won't be able to fight euro/dollar moving to $1.20 anymore than the Bank of Japan can prevent the dollar/yen heading down to a 100," said Kit Juckes, chief global FX strategist at Societe Generale.
With his adaption of the popular fiction podcast Homecoming (a show mostly written by the podcast's creators, Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg), Esmail again plays with the elements of televisual storytelling, fiddling with the audio mix, the size of the frame, and the placement of the camera, as he tells an eerie, split-timeline tale about a shady, off-the-books program to rehabilitate returning soldiers.
If he is right, that could be a convenient solution not only for the climate (unless there are unintended negative consequences to fiddling with the atmosphere as some fear), but also for a slew of countries that rely on oil for their economic well-being across much of Africa and the Middle East, as well as Russia, Mexico and emerging producers like Brazil and Guyana.
"We are fiddling while Rome is burning," former Maryland Jockey Club Chief Executive Joe De Francis said last week at a U.S. House of Representatives hearing in Washington "It is the very nature of the regulatory framework, the pervasive regulation on a state-by-state basis, that prevents us from solving our own problems through a commissioner's office the way football can do or the way baseball can do," he added.
Trying to teach nuanced critical thinking when there may be a more basic lack of education that's contributing to fomenting mistrust and driving credulity, as well as causing the spread of malicious fakes and rumors targeting certain people or segments of the population in the first place, risks both being ineffectual and coming across as merely irresponsible fiddling around the edges of a grave problem that's claimed multiple lives already.
While flying through an area of bad weather at 35,000 feet, the crew noticed discrepancies between the navigational systems; while fiddling with a solution, they switched off the autopilot unintentionally and drifted into a bank that turned into an uncontrolled spiral dive, during which the descent rate exceeded 50,000 feet per minute and the airplane approached the speed of sound before the captain pulled the wings off in flight.
Still, despite some of the frustrations with the user interface, I really like Hulu with Live TV. As a longtime Hulu subscriber, this gives me all the subscription content I've come to enjoy (which is especially important as Netflix continues to let content deals lapse in its push for original movies and TV shows), as well as access to live TV. No fiddling with an additional app like Youtube TV or PS Vue.
What began as a demo by the Monsters and the Strangerz, a behind-the-scenes Los Angeles studio team, and Sarah Aarons, a young wallflower songwriter from Australia, took more than a year of fiddling between the germ of the idea and its Top 40 debut — a creative roller coaster that included three distinct waves of musical production, 14 prospective vocalists, a corporate tie-in and a video premiere during the Grammys.
I've used Scroll for a few days, and after an initial bit of fiddling — if you use multiple devices you'll need to log in on multiple devices; you'll also need to install a dedicated app for your phone, and you may also have to click a few buttons to get it working on web browsers within services like Twitter and Facebook — I mostly stopped thinking about it, which is what Haile wants.
It's easy to take the trappings of one genre and make some changes, but what ultimately makes Foundryside a great read is that Bennett isn't just fiddling with the settings — he's using fantasy to touching on themes like the effects of rampant capitalism, artificial intelligence, and the ethics of technology, all to tell a story that's pressingly modern and relevant in 2018, and I already can't to see what he does in the next installment, Hierophant, which comes out August 2019.
The art dealer Mary Boone is a sixty-seven-year-old woman who is about to go to prison for two and a half years for fiddling her income tax, after having already made restitution of several million dollars to the I.R.S. The pressing issue is not whether white-collar criminals should be punished more or less than others; it is whether the practice of locking anyone up in a closed penitentiary for long periods is an effective way of punishing or preventing criminal behavior.
New research lets would-be DNA origami masters design the shape — while an algorithm determines where to put our friends A, T, G, and C. DNA's structure doesn't have to be just a double helix: by fiddling with the order of bases or substituting other molecules, the strand can be cause to make a hard right turn, or curve around in one direction or another — and with enough foresight, a single strand can make enough twists and convolutions that it forms a useful geometric structure.
