It’s old news that dating apps and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350/https://news.stanford.edu/2019/08/21/online-dating-popular-way-u-s-couples-meet/">online platforms are now the most common way for prospective partners to meet</a> in the US and have become popular around the world. But for many of those who’ve tried and failed to find true love through their devices, the novelty is long gone.</p> <p>“I've met great people that later became friends and had a handful of extended flings, but never a long-term relationship,” says writer Madeleine Dore, a 30-year-old from Melbourne who’s also dated in New York and Copenhagen. She’s used apps including Tinder, Bumble and OkCupid over the last five years and describes the dates she’s been on as ranging from experiences “that feel like a scene in a rom-com” to “absolute disasters”.</p> <p>Many of her friends have met their partners online, and this knowledge has encouraged her to keep persevering. But, when “conversations unexpectedly fizzle, sparks don’t translate in person [and] dates are cancelled”, she typically ends up disenchanted and temporarily deletes her apps for a couple of months.</p> <p>It’s a pattern many long-term singles will be familiar with, with other complaints about the app-based dating experience ranging from a lack of matches to too many matches, misleading profiles, safety concerns, racist comments and unwanted explicit content.

But that's what's happening. That is where people are dating.”</p> <p>He argues that meeting romantic partners has always been challenging and that it’s important to remember that online platforms first came on the market as a way to help those who were struggling. For many of his patients, the decision to turn off dating platforms, blame them for a lack of dating success, or conversely use them too frequently, can therefore often reflect a more general ambivalence to relationships based on human behaviours and feelings that have actually “been around for millennia”. These might range from previous relationship traumas triggered by former partners or during childhood, to body hang-ups or conflicts around sexual identity, monogamy and confidence.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="article-body__image-text"><div class="inline-image inline-image--card"><div class="inline-image__image inline-image__image--card"><img draggable="false" title="#MeToo protests" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/189_106/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcdd.jpg 189w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/304_171/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcdd.jpg 304w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/624_351/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcdd.jpg 624w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/976_549/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcdd.jpg 976w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/1280_720/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcdd.jpg 1280w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/1600_900/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcdd.jpg 1600w" sizes="(min-width: 800px) 70vw, 100vw" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/976_549/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcdd.jpg" alt="#MeToo protests"/></div><div class="inline-image__line"><div class="styled-line styled-line--grey styled-line--large"></div></div><div class="inline-image__description inline-image__description--desktop"><div class="text-summary"><p class="text-summary__text text-summary__text--blue text-summary__text--center">In a 2018 survey by careers consultancy Vault, one in four workers said the #MeToo movement had made them view workplace relationships as less acceptable (Credit: Alamy)</p></div></div><div class="inline-image__line"><div class="styled-line styled-line--grey styled-line--large"></div></div></div></div><div class="article-body__body-text"><div class="body-text-card"><div class="body-text-card__text body-text-card__text--worklife body-text-card__text--flush-text"><div><p>He advises those who are committed to dating, to improve the process of using apps by making it “more social”, for example sharing profiles with friends, brainstorming ideas about where to go on dates and deciding when to have conversations about exclusivity.</p> <p>“One of the paths to which people find their way to misery in this domain is that they are doing it in a much too isolated way,” says Lundquist.

Since Facebook already knows so much about us, it will, Harvey argues, end up with an “unparalleled insight” into which kinds of matches end in relationships, marriage or divorce, which can be used to inform future matching algorithms.</p> <p>In terms of video, he says dating app companies also want to test “whether people can get a feel for in-person chemistry by chatting face-to-face” using video chat functions and “whether people will actually go to the trouble of having short video dates on a Sunday afternoon or Tuesday evening” as a way of avoiding lacklustre real life encounters.</p> <p>Meanwhile industry analysts and coaches including both Scott Harvey and Damona Hoffman also point to a resurgence in offline singles events on both sides of the Atlantic, whether run by larger online dating companies seeking to find new ways of connecting existing pools of singles who are tired of swiping, or newer players looking to capitalise on current debates about the challenges of dating in today’s digital era.</p> <p>“We saw this huge demand for authentic connection and genuine meetings and how difficult it is to create this on your own,” says Philip Jonzon Jarl, co-founder of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350/https://relate-app.com/">Relate</a>, a Scandinavian dating and relationships start-up which organises singles parties, matching guests with a handful of attendees based on their values.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="article-body__image-text"><div class="inline-image inline-image--card"><div class="inline-image__image inline-image__image--card"><img draggable="false" title="Relate meeting" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/189_106/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcg0.jpg 189w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/304_171/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcg0.jpg 304w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/624_351/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcg0.jpg 624w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/976_549/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcg0.jpg 976w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/1280_720/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcg0.jpg 1280w, https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/1600_900/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcg0.jpg 1600w" sizes="(min-width: 800px) 70vw, 100vw" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20191209031350im_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/976_549/images/live/p0/7w/qc/p07wqcg0.jpg" alt="Relate meeting"/></div><div class="inline-image__line"><div class="styled-line styled-line--grey styled-line--large"></div></div><div class="inline-image__description inline-image__description--desktop"><div class="text-summary"><p class="text-summary__text text-summary__text--blue text-summary__text--center">Relate, a Scandinavian dating and relationships start-up, arranges singles parties to foster deeper connections and personal growth (Credit: Relate)</p></div></div><div class="inline-image__line"><div class="styled-line styled-line--grey styled-line--large"></div></div></div></div><div class="article-body__body-text"><div class="body-text-card"><div class="body-text-card__text body-text-card__text--worklife body-text-card__text--flush-text"><div><p>They still need an app for the process, but Jonzon Jarl views it as “a tool for a deeper conversation” that is typically lacking at speed-dating events or mingles for singles. His longer-term vision is for “dating meets personal development”, with couples who connect via the platform able to unlock tips and tools to aid them as their relationship develops, in part, to help them avoid the temptation to jump too quickly back into the online dating pool if things don’t immediately run smoothly.</p> <p>Therapist Matt Lundquist is sceptical about how much of an impact new methods like these will have and suggests that it would be “rather remarkable” if someone created a silver bullet to dispense with the “challenging” behaviours that have become routinised in modern day dating, such as ghosting and a lack of transparency.</p> <p>However he believes it’s a positive step that some singles event organisers are at least trying to make our experience of forming new relationships “less routine and anonymous” and attempting to create more “opportunities for a real connection” between people.</p> <p>“I think the world needs that really badly, not just the realm of dating.”</p></div></div></div></div><span class="article__load-more"><div class="read-more-button"><button class="basic-button"><span class="basic-button__text basic-button__text--bold">Read

Her laboratory experiments involved various types of granular material (i.e. sand, concrete, ceramics, rocks) which were loaded to failure - that is, until the solid disintegrated into pieces and collapsed. “What we discovered is a distinct rhythm in the stages preceding the collapse,” says Tordesillas.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHer technology uses the laws of physics to “steer AI to identify the right pattern efficiently”: that is, algorithms take into account ground motion, the dynamics of failure and known triggers of landslides such as rainfall (which weakens the grip between rubbish items and particles) in order to produce reliable data. Eventually, this data could be used to provide early, real-time prediction of slides in places like garbage cities, underground mines and steep mountain slopes.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA natural slope is made up of earth particles such as rocks or clay which have been bonded together over thousands of years. A rubbish dump, by contrast, is made up of solid waste particles like plastics, glass, metals, organic matter, paper and the like, which loosely hold their shape until a disturbance weakens them. Instability of dumpsites can happen for several reasons: improper compaction of waste, inadequate provision for drainage systems, decomposition of organic waste and potential slip surfaces within heaps of trash, moisture, methane-build-up explosions and dumping waste in excess of design capacity.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E“Some of these factors make early waste slides’ prediction more difficult than earth slides,” says Isaac Akinwumi, a lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering at Nigeria’s Covenant University. The need for robust predictive technology is thus critical, particularly where developing countries are concerned: rubbish heap slopes there are often steeper than regulations allow in the US or the UK, material isn’t compacted in the same way and waste management companies don’t make site stability a priority, all of which can contribute to the propensity for slides. “If Professor Tordesillas’ tool can provide early warning before waste slides occur, then it will be a vital tool for preventing landslide disaster,” says Akinwumi.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E"},"cardType":"Body","iFrameType":"","id":"worklife\u002Farticle\u002F20190327-the-new-tech-that-detects-deadly-slides-on-rubbish-mountains-2"},{"bodyHtml":{"assets":[]},"cardType":"Image","iFrameType":"","image":["p074r0ld"],"imageAlignment":"centre","id":"worklife\u002Farticle\u002F20190327-the-new-tech-that-detects-deadly-slides-on-rubbish-mountains-3"},{"bodyHtml":{"assets":[],"html":"\u003Cp\u003EIndeed, such technology might be able to turn data into actionable intelligence - the coordinates of an impending slide, for example, or information that helps workers make the call between reinforcement or an evacuation.
