How about thanking or crediting the many independent doctors and scientists (https://zenodo.org/record/3873178) who identified the issues in Lancet's publication? Even Apple credits/pays independent researchers for finding weaknesses in Apple code.

Will countries now revert national health policy changes that were based on this questionable study? What about the families of patients who were denied early HCQ treatment based on this study? Who is liable for their denial of treatment?

James Todaro helped to bring this questionable study to light—his website (https://www.medicineuncensored.com/) and compilation of HCQ studies (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O6Cls-Oz2ZAgJuyDbnICEGjM...) may be of interest.
There’s plenty of economists that know the answer to that, not so many that will be right.
After reading this, I believe using permanent marker is a reasonable workaround, as long as he did not also claim the parts were original.

Especially if the whole thing is about internal parts.
I don't think this is correct. They weren't re-using official apple parts, they were ordering fake parts directly from the manufactures. We know they are fake, because Apple would never allow their factories to re-sell extra parts to 3rd parties.

Among women, about 5% have hypothyreosis, and depression/sadness and anxiety are some of the consequences (varies from person to person). And 2% of the men.

@pathseeker wrote: "very unlikely external circumstances"

But it's not just 1 - 99.99% = 0.01% that needs medication and other help than "just" meditation. Looking only at hypothyreosis, it's more like 2% or 5%.

@cmehdy it seems to me that you 1) work with health care, or 2) you have something like hypothyreosis or GAD yourself or people you know? or 3) you're a researcher? or 4) TBI happened to someone you know? (If it's too private then obviously no need to reply : ) And best wishes with your work)

I find the situation where the state dictates private companies what to sell much more ludicrous.

To clarify, I don't think that it's a good practice, and it's one of the reasons I don't buy iPhones anymore. But as I would vote against company doing this idiotic thing with my wallet, I would still defend it's legal right to do that idiotic thing.

It's not the government place nor responsibility to solve such trivial problems, especially with products on very competitive markets that are almost a luxury item and in no way a basic neccessity. Consumers can figure it out on their own.
So far what has worked for me in Germany when I got these forms from HR is to put "(by request)" into such fields. Which is, erhm, kind of cheating because, well, they are requesting it right there in the form. But so far, funnily enough, nobody actually bothered. All they cared about was that the form was "completed".
I'm critiquing the framing in OP.

>But we have no political imagination or will to think beyond what is forced down our throats. Either the Federal Reserve saves us all or we are doomed.

I wouldn't view it as saving. The Fed's job is to stabilize prices and employment. If you think a different part of the government should be responsible for that, or if you think we shouldn't stabilize it at all (but then how much money should be printed? Should we abolish monetary policy completely?), then make that argument. But don't criticise the Fed for trying to do its job of ensuring price stability. When something happens that significantly decreases inflation, then the Fed responds by printing more money. It's not somehow "neutral" if the Fed were to ignore that and allow prices to drop.

That’s right, there are other fusion fuels that have only charged fusion products which could be directly converted to electricity. This is in contrast to deuterium - tritium which releases 80% of its energy in a neutron which has zero charge.

Examples of fusion fuels whose main reaction produces only charged products are deuterium helium-3 and proton boron-11. These reactions however require higher temperatures and better confinement characteristics.

The reason why deuterium tritium is the major focus of most (though certainly not all) research is that it has the highest reactivity at the lowest temperature compared to other fuels. Unfortunately it produces a high energy neutron which makes the conversion to electricity more complex.

Both techniques give you the average electron density over thousands to billions of molecules. The difference is in what kind of data you actually collect, and how you process and combine the data to get that averaged map:

- In X-ray crystallography, you're collecting the amplitudes of the Fourier transform of the electron density in the repeating unit of the crystal. The fact that it's a well-ordered (usually) crystal effectively "amplifies" the FT, and you get a series of images like this (from one orientation of the crystal):
https://cdn.britannica.com/02/147302-050-3F732246/X-ray-diff...

- In EM, you're collecting direct images of particles randomly distributed on a grid, but they're 2D and individually very noisy, like this:
https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/110/45/18037/F3.large.jpg?...

In either case, there's a lot of complex math that goes into reconstructing the electron density - but the end result, the electron density map, is very similar (aside from the absence of crystal packing interactions in the EM map).
One to look at rent is that it's like the old joke about prostitution: you don't pay for the sex, you pay for them to leave afterwards.

Rent gives you greater location flexibility and less commitment to a specific place and building. You don't have to maintain it yourself, and you are freed from the mental load of having to do long-term planning around it at all. Not that it's necessarily good for the surrounding community, but to some degree, renting gives you the luxury of "driving it like you stole it" and that's a real value for some people.

I own my house. When plumbers dumped water in the basement and destroyed a floor, that was my problem. Renters pay for that kind of stuff to be someone else's problem.

As mentioned elsewhere in these comments, the usual plan is to convert the fusion energy to heat in a blanket, through which coolant flows.

This sounds simple, but actually shows one of the biggest problems with fusion. The wall can handle only a certain power/area before the engineering becomes too difficult. And because the wall has to be outside the plasma, the ratio of the wall area to plasma volume will be quite low. In contrast, in a fission reactor, the "wall" is the walls of the fuel rods, which are only about 1 cm in diameter. There is lots of surface area through which to convey the heat.

The square/cube law comes into play here. Fusion reactors will have terrible volumetric power density, compared to fission reactors (or, even worse, internal combustion engines like gas turbines.) As a result, fusion reactors will be massive, expensive things, compared to the competing source of heat.

The figures for existing reactor proposals illustrate this. The volumetric power density of a PWR primary reactor vessel is ~20 MW/m^3. In constrast, the power density of the ARC proposal from MIT (counting the volume of the reactor + blanket + magnet shield + magnets + support structure) is around 0.5 MW/m^3.

If someone breathlessly hypes some fusion reactor design, ask them what its volumetric power density is.

The situation I was talking about above is one I've observed in production but don't have samples at the ready for, so maybe I'll give another example of weird antemeridian stuff that doesn't require example idiosyncratic polygons: bounding boxes.

We see cases in computational geometry all the time where people use [min_x,min_y,max_x,max_y] bounding boxes when operating on sets of points or polygons or whatever, usually either (a) as entries in some sort of a spatial index like an R-Tree, or (b) as part of some short-circuit to avoid a more expensive polygon operation (like, if the question is "is this point in this polygon?" if you have the polygon's bounding box pre-calculated, you can first cheaply check if the point is in the box before doing the expensive point-in-poly operation; likewise to see if two polygons intersect, you can see if their bounding boxes intersect first, etc.).

Turns out though, that with the usual naive bounding box math, features like the US or Russia end up with bounding boxes that wrap all the way around the world in the X direction, which makes them pretty useless for those kinds of operations. So then you inevitably think "well, okay, we can have the bounding box cross the antemeridian." But then all kinds of assumptions about bounding boxes start to break down: suddenly your "minimum" can be bigger than your "maximum," and your point_in_bbox function that wasn't AM-aware breaks, as does your bboxes_intersect function. So then you fix those, but it turns out even the process of figuring out what the optimal bounding box of a multi-part geometry that can cross the antemeridian should be is non-trivial; imagining a multi-point geometry comprised of three points spaced equally in the X direction around the world, there are three possible distinct, equally optimally sized bounding boxes one could draw, so it turns out a given set of points doesn't have a unique optimal bounding box anymore either.

Even assuming a set of points does though, you usually end up with an algorithm that looks for the biggest X-direction "gap" between components and makes that the part not in the bounding box, and the rest in. But that leads to yet more subtle weirdness: in non-wrapping geometry, for example, you can assume that if you have two sets of points, and calculate the bounding boxes for each, the bounding box of the union of the sets of points is the bounding box of the union of the bounding boxes. But in the wrapping/AM-crossing context, that's not necessarily the case anymore: your points could combine in such a way that that optimal largest "gap" is now in a different position, and you have a totally different bounding box over the combined sets of points than you would over the combined bounding boxes.

etc., etc., etc.

None of this is impossible to handle, but it's sort of akin to those "things programmers assume about dates" blog posts: most people, and especially people who live in the continental US, just don't think about any of this, and don't encounter it in US testing, and then their code totally breaks in bizarre ways once usage extends to other parts of the world because these corner cases are unaccounted for.

> Apple (and other manufacturers) have a big interest to not have people feel that their hardware is shitty.

I haven't heard anyone claim Apple does this because they have indigestion or really like the smell of landfills. Of course they have interests.

They are not, however necessarily legitimate interests, or ones that outweigh the interests of those who purchase their devices.

We, as a species, have a lot of history with artifacts we make and trade with one another. And by and large, we've come to the conclusion that if I sell you something, I cease having a legitimate interest in what you do with it.

This notion has been blurred by the need for operating system updates (hammers didn't need those) and the proliferation of "cloud"/OPC services. And now we are trying to find the right balance.

But there's a pretty good bet that abusing trademark law to control a secondary market with what amounts to literally an engineered legal argument is a pretty good indication that Apple is... getting creative, and I think the fact of the matter is that "we" won't put up with that shit long-term. Most humans value their property rights over HugeCo's reputational concerns.

The Fed isn't equipped to do security selection so that's why Blackrock is managing this facility. Blackrock is absolutely going to do secondary bond purchases (on the Fed's behalf) once that portion of the facility is up and running.

The Fed has also said that they don't want to influence market share of ETFs so that's been interpreted as some sort of benchmark per manager. I believe Blackrock was around 50% of qualifying ETFs outstanding at the time. The Fed published purchases to date last week which has a pretty decent breakdown: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/smccf-tr...

I think you as a user should be able to make this choice, but the parent comment is talking about another scenario, where the person you're buying a refurbished iPhone from has silently replaced parts. I think that at least warrants some sort of disclaimer.
Why not? It is a big company, with different teams having somewhat different priorities. It is perfectly reasonable for the upper management to leave the tech department supporting the devices for a long time, and thus maintain and increase the brand value, while keep the anti-consumer anti-environment business policies regarding repair. They can brag about how the Apple devices are great and long lived, and sell lots of new units/repairs every cycle. It makes perfect sense.
> The Fed's job is to stabilize prices and employment.

Well said. People often forget that optimizing for efficiency isn't free, it has a cost in flexibility. The modern economy is heavily optimized which, yes, can produce enormous profits, but it also makes the economy extremely brittle.

Approaches like just-in-time manufacturing or loading up on debt in a good economy to expand faster work out great... until they don't. And when things go bad, they can go bad quickly.

I've heard a number of people referring to COVID-19 as a black swan event, but it's really not. Pandemics are a known risk that have happened many times in the past and will happen many more times in the future. The fact that such an unsurprising disaster has stressed modern economies so tremendously makes me really pessimistic for our society's long term prospects.

They don't. Apple puts logos on their parts and then someone uses them in a "refurbished" part and doesn't scrub the logos. It's not a problem in China, because they don't care, but in more legally-observant parts of the world it becomes a trademark issue, because you have a part that isn't entirely from Apple (and is thus not an official Apple product) but has their logos on it.
I don't think so these days. I remember a little while ago, an update was pushed that bricked any phones with a third party screen (which I think included the finger print reader). The update was patched I believe but replacing the screen on a modern iPhone isn't as simple as replacing the glass anymore IIRC.
Same difference. Apple won't sell the parts, and won't allow manufacturers to make & sell the parts either.

So manufacturers do it anyways, and sell them in the grey market. I wound up with these parts myself after trying to buy a high-quality replacement display for an old phone (complete with blacked-out Apple logo). There is no legal alternative. They're not "fake" parts, but the parts aren't supposed to exist. (Seems like that issue would be between Apple and the manufacturer, but I digress.)

What good is a right to repair if the major companies can just make it illegal in practice?
