Yes, that cursor animation is just awful. What kind of User Experience Designer thought it was a good idea to take a discrete event - typing a character or using a cursor key - and turn it into a laggy animation? No other application does this. It's simply a ridiculous idea.

Adding insult to injury, Word has a "Provide feedback with animation" checkbox in the Word Options/Ease of Access panel. But turning off this checkbox does nothing! You still get the animations unless you turn off the systemwide animation setting.

Wait, there is another application that does this, and it's even worse: Excel. By default, Excel animates the cell selection border even if you click on another cell far away. Yes, it starts an animation at the cell you were on and animates it all the way to the cell you clicked on. This is incredibly stupid: when I click on a cell, that is the cell my attention is on. I don't care about the cell that was previously selected, or seeing an animation go diagonally or whatever direction from there to the cell I clicked. Why in the world did anyone think this animation was helpful?

Excel also does not respond to the systemwide animation disable, but thankfully it does have the animation checkbox like Word in its own options panel, and that one works.

> Samsung told Quartz that the Fold is supposed to be durable enough to withstand being folded at least 200,000 times, which would equate to about 300 unfolds every day for two years. (The average person checks their phone between 80 and 300 times each day.)

I wasn't expecting these screens to hold up very well over time, but that number seems shockingly low to me. I don't like the idea that the screen is expected to fail under normal use conditions well before the other hardware in the phone will be considered outdated. I also imagine that it will start showing some signs of damage as you approach the rated 200k folds.

That is definitely not true. One can eat a grocery store for a few bucks a week.

Non-voting shares as an asset class are very much like junk bonds in that they give you no control of a company, and they are worse than junk bonds in that they are even lower than junior unsecured junk when it comes to recovery.

"Fixed return" isn't really relevant from a practical standpoint because shares and junk debt both have volatile prices, and price is what actually matters when it comes to securities like this.
The issue is in the margins.

Maybe a shift-change caused the surgical team to be different from normal, so people aren't as comfortable with each other. There's social/professional pressure to fit within a hierarchy, especially with new people. Maybe a few people lower on the totem pole think something might be off, but don't want to say anything lest they risk appearing to undermine the surgeon.

So, at first it appears that a whole room of people would need to independently make the same mistake. But that's not so; only a few critical people need to make the mistake, and with enough ambiguity in the process (easily caused by anything happening 'out of the ordinary'), it won't be corrected some percentage of the time. Even seemingly trivial things.

The FAA found this occurring in the cockpit, especially from the '3rd seat'. A pilot and first officer may be 'in the weeds' dealing with the immediate threat of a situation, whereas others have the benefit of distance to reflect on a situation and observe more clearly. They don't get tunnel vision, and are in a better place to diagnose a tricky problem. However, they may not feel empowered to speak up, or feel they don't have the information the pilots do. Aviation has, broadly, sought to correct this and encourage anyone to speak up. Recently, this happened during the flight before the Indonesia 737 crash where similar AoA/MCAS issues occurred, but a 3rd pilot helped to address the situation.

Instead – and more usefully given how slow some of our backend APIs are – we cache each value twice, under e.g. `key` with a short TTL and `key_backup` with a long TTL.

The first process to miss on `key` renames `key_backup` to `key` (which is atomic and fast on Redis) and goes to the backend for a new value to cache twice and return, while the rest of the herd reads the renamed backup.

Yes, this doubles the total cache size, or equivalently halves the number of keys we have room for. That's a price we're OK with paying to avoid blocking reads while a value is recalculated.

I pick on Reddit because it has the most glaring issues. But there are others. Certain tech sites like Gizmodo come to mind. So do some news sites. It's especially weird when the result is a page that contains a video, and the video is what I actually want but because of AMP it doesn't load, and it's not immediately apparent what's going on.

AMP is straight up broken technology. Imagine if you subscribed to a print version of the NYT but instead of getting the Sunday edition you got a ransom note looking summary of some of the articles from Clipper Magazine. Would you be OK with that?
Do you actually know what default rates are like for people without access to better sources of credit? The interest rates are so high because that's the only way payday lenders can make money. In states with usury laws that prohibit such high interest rates, you don't see lenders lowering their rates; you see credit for poor people dry up completely.

Liz Warren does have a good solution to this, namely postal banking. (The US government can swing the losses incurred from lending small sums to high credit risks at low rates.) But just killing the payday lenders without setting up an alternative is not a good idea.
If they needed a digital version of a doctor’s sign off, that’s enough for me to say no thanks. I don’t want them knowing when or where or how frequently I check off their particular health checklist items. Giving them any more details, such as the result of tests, would be an astronomical violation of trust, no way.

I even hate it that my insurance company generates paper _or_ digital records stating the exact application of my benefits (resulting in a copay, etc) for individual appointments, even if I already paid the relevant bill onsite at the doctor.

It just creates a data exfil / hacking risk if it’s digital, or a risk someone (China) will pick through trash or recycling and get it, when there’s literally no need to create the record (they’d already have the claims record from the doctor making a claim, this is a separate thing they generate to send to me redundantly describing the applied benefits... note: it’s not a bill (and very clearly says it’s not)).

Toxicity and mechanisms of action of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in living organisms. (2019)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30473306

> The mechanism of TiO2 NP toxicity to organisms can be outlined in three aspects: The Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) produced by TiO2 NPs following the induction of electron-hole pairs; cell wall damage and lipid peroxidation of the cell membrane caused by NP-cell attachment by electrostatic force owing to the large surface area of TiO2 NPs; and TiO2 NP attachment to intracellular organelles and biological macromolecules following damage to the cell membranes.

The inflammatory response to silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the central nervous system. (2018)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29199887

> Ag-NPs and TiO2-NPs could translocate into the CNS through damaged blood-brain barrier, nerve afferent signaling and eye-to-brain ways, and even cell uptake. NPs could stimulate the activation of glial cells to release proinflammatory cytokines and generate reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide production, resulting in the neuroinflammation. The potential mechanisms of Ag-NPs and TiO2-NPs causing inflammation are complex, including several immune response relevant signaling pathways.

Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles: a Risk for Human Health? (2016)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26996620

This is an awful argument. The author begins by nitpicking at the "gaming is not a box" argument, while Google has positioned Stadia as you targeting a _datacenter_, multiple GPUs can be utilized at once and the very fast networking between Stadia nodes is an ideal environment for middleware like SpatialOS. That's what they mean by 'a box', it's not confined to one node.

There's the expected rant about digital ownership, but I imagine more people will warm to this if it's a Netflix-like model, or if a Stadia purchase grants you a downloadable copy of a game as well.

The rest is a complaint about games the author doesn't like, implying that Google's main focus is Ubisoft and that Ubisoft makes games he forgets about.
> Being recognized as the customer, with real rights, is of pivotal importance in receiving the care you need, when you need it.

Except if your poor though right? Isn't that really the case?

In the UK we don't tend to ignore kids broken bones if they have poor parents. No one goes bankrupt and ends up homeless for contracting an illness, or having an accident at work.

We also spend less on our taxes towards the NHS than Americans spend on their Medicare - and then you have to pay for private 'health care' insurance on top, including all of the 'co pays' and whatever. It's a system that's rigged against you. For the rich, by the rich, to make the rich richer.

Even if the top 1% of private healthcare is better in the USA, you're ignoring the 99% of healthcare that isn't.

Most Americans just can't see the simple fact - many many other countries are better at this than you are. This is a solved problem in many other developed countries.

Universal healthcare simply benefits everyone in society, and does so purley for the common good.
> ... so that a health insurer can refuse to cover you on the basis that it might not be profitable for them.

Or rather, on the basis that known expenses are not something which ought to be paid for through insurance. Which is completely correct: Insurance exists to mitigate risk. Once something becomes a pre-existing condition it is no longer a risk.

The problem with the pre-ACA system was not that insurers sometimes wouldn't cover pre-existing conditions, but rather that the insurance you had at the time the risk was realized (when the condition was discovered) didn't cover the full lifetime cost of treatment for that condition—it was dependent on maintaining the same insurance plan. That implies that the insurer, and perhaps even your employer, has every incentive to drive you off your current plan once your condition is discovered and thus make your treatment someone else's problem.

Whether we're talking about a broken bone or discovering that you have leukemia, once it's been established that the condition is covered by your insurance plan the cost of treatment should continue to be paid by that insurance provider—perhaps via a trust—even after you've switched insurance companies or dropped health insurance altogether. Having the payments for your treatment pass to the new insurer when you switch insurance providers is a unearned windfall for the original provider and an unfair (and ultimately unsustainable) penalty for the new insurer forced to take over treatment of your pre-existing condition.

I’d be surprised if most such changes have statistically strong correlation with organ donor personalities.

So would I.

I'm not talking about most such changes or statistical significance. I'm talking about one specific case that was unusually well documented and highly scrutinized that potentially supports the idea that "souls" -- or something we might describe with that word -- might actually be real.

A high percentage of people go to church or otherwise have some kind of spiritual belief. But some kind of scientific affirmation that this isn't simply adult thumb sucking and there may be something to it seems pretty uncommon.
