There are a lot of approaches, and some I agree with are mentioned in the comments. One additional thing that's important is trying to always assess the quality of the information you come across, as a first step.

Even the smartest person can make bad judgements if they're relying on inaccurate information. Thus, anything like critical thinking about a topic has to start with some kind of test. One thing to look for (and this is a very math-centric way of looking at it) is to look for inconsistencies, i.e. if two pieces of information are claimed to be reliable but they appear mutually exclusive, then there is probably a problem with either one or both pieces.

There's a web page listing many similar useful logical tests for the quality of information (and arguments) that's been around for a long time. Going through the list is a good exercise.

Example: Description of Biased Sample

This fallacy is committed when a person draws a conclusion about a population based on a sample that is biased or prejudiced in some manner. It has the following form:

Sample S, which is biased, is taken from population P.
Conclusion C is drawn about Population P based on S.

The person committing the fallacy is misusing the following type of reasoning, which is known variously as Inductive Generalization, Generalization, and Statistical Generalization:

X% of all observed A's are B's.
Therefore X% of all A's are Bs.

The fallacy is committed when the sample of A's is likely to be biased in some manner. A sample is biased or loaded when the method used to take the sample is likely to result in a sample that does not adequately represent the population from which it is drawn.
It also makes on fly design changes harder and makes managing scope creep critical.

There have been several educational studies about BeeLine, and they've shown various benefits for reading fluency (which is measured as correct WPM) and reading comprehension. These were done with kids as young as six, but mostly older.

There was also a study done in an optometric office with patients, who saw improvements in visual tracking, not surprisingly.

Various of our partners have also tracked to see how user behavior differs between people reading with BeeLine and people reading traditional black text. These have shown increases in article completion rates, average scroll depth, pages per session, and app usage.

All of these studies were done independently and were not compensated. I don't know about bionic — they're pretty new, so I imagine they don't have a ton of research at this time.
Software engineering is rife with it.

The big question in my mind is whether Ford can deliver in volume. If Ford pulls this off, they’ll be one of the rare companies that has navigated the Innovator’s Dilemma (in the Christensen sense). One of the key features of the Innovator’s Dilemma is that existing middle management, customers, and supplier relationships lock you out of disruptive technologies.

So far, Ford has talked a great game. I don’t think it’s the first truck that’s the challenge, though. The real challenge is doing so sustainably, at scale. I’m particularly curious about their ability to source sufficient battery packs.

The article was paywalled for me, so I didn’t read it. Did it discuss any of these issues?

You can still drop your phone if you want to, but if you don't, that implies that your judgment looked over the sum of all things and decided to keep the phone. Or not.
They've taken the popular F-150, made it electric, added a couple of convenience features (outlets and the ability to use the battery as a power source in case of a power outage), and didn't make it look different from a gas one.

The use of this term as an insult has some especially nasty history behind it:

If you randomly draw z numbers from a bucket of numbers from 0 to 10000 times x, the gaps will differ because there is no mechanism that would make some number with close neighbors less or more likely to be drawn than any other remaining number.

It’s only once your supply of numbers runs low that differences will start to equalize, reaching 1 when you have exhausted your supply.

Besides, the author isn’t really making an argument. They are giving you actual data showing the differences to the next lowest number. It’s hard to argue with that.

> "the storage of a future promise to give me something I value"

This is a good insight, and exactly how I've described money in the past -- a promise, that can be exchanged for goods and services. Everyone's happy to receive these promises in exchanges for goods and services because they know that they'll always be able to find someone else willing to do the same later.
I recently switched to billing by the half day and it has been a big improvement in my quality of life. I don't think I wanna bill by the full day because some days I wanna be able to take off after lunch, even if I have more work to do, without feeling guilty. On days where I go into and stay in a deep focus and work from early till late, I can bill for a day and a half and feel both productive and uncheated.

Perhaps full day billing is better for people who work on a more regular schedule, but for my nomadic lifestyle I think half day billing strikes the perfect balance. It certainly is a massive QoL improvement from billing in 15 minute increments.

That's an interesting angle. Uber ignoring legal ramifications had wildly different effects depending on the countries, some completely shutting out Uber as a result, and more lax places accepted dealing with the consequences that surfaced one after the other.

I'm in a country from the former block, and see a bunch of naive projects pitched by the business side that gets shut down pretty fast by the legal team as nightmares in the making (e.g. stuff that boils down to "shouldn't it be easier to take money from a variety of sources and move it to other users ?") that would sink the whole company when shit hits the fan.

My hopes would be on more security issues slowly becoming legal issues (not unlike GDPR, breach disclosure duty and associated penalties etc.) but I can understand how dire it feels in countries where legal grounds were shaky in the first place.

Value is a word which is used in two senses. One is yours: what $ can I get for it. The other is use-value: the object can be used to perform it's role.

What they do, to extract $ value, is destroy use-value. The use-value didn't interest them, but waking at 4am and driving round before anyone ELSE sees the copper and takes it, interests them mightily. Consequently, anyone who is interested in finding things, finds broken things, not useful things.

Forget all the stories about GAFAM implementations, network effects or complexity.

It's 2022, XMPP is 23 years old, and I still can't use it as a primary solution for my community. There is no client/server environment available that meets the most demanded purposes and runs on all common devices.

In 5 years I have tried to set up an infrastructure 3 times to have a look, I always come back to Matrix (just because I have more hope that it will turn out better in the future).

XMPP is ready to do too many things, that's a good point, but the most common practices that everyone finds on centralized solutions are not implemented on all platforms, clients, and servers.

The server documentation doesn't give any advice on which clients to use, and the clients doesn't advise which server to use. Everyone has their head in the sand.

It's been at least 15 years since it's easy to set up an email infrastructure by yourself, that everyone can use on all their devices.

> … near to Tokyo station. Longest at the moment … 2.7km.

I walked that route once, about twenty-five years ago. We had had an unusually heavy snow for Tokyo and I needed some exercise, so I took the subway to Otemachi and walked underground to Higashi Ginza and back.

The areas around Shinjuku and Osaka stations also offer vast, mazelike underground pedestrian networks. I used to pride myself on knowing the entire Shinjuku system, but it has expanded since and now I might get lost.

After many trips to Osaka, I feel I know all the nooks and crannies of the network there, but it has probably expanded in the past couple of years, too.
I'll give some answers to the author's question: "What exactly does he think Apple should do differently?"

Stop DRM'ing all the parts of the phone to shut out 3rd parties (if they want original, then let them decide). Stop telling the owners what parts they are allowed to swap and how they are allowed to do it.

It's no mistake that the price point of the parts are set to make it economically and practically infeasible. To, essentially plant (with or without the author's cooperation), a story like the original "Apple shipped me a 79 pound.." that neatly showcases how complicated it is to repair your own phone is no mistake. Nor is the inevitable conclusion. But nor is this author's "iPhones are intricate devices, which require numerous special tools and machines to open and operate upon, along with expert instructions" either. Why the PR blitz?

UTTER BULLSHIT! Apparently you can fix Android phones with guitar picks and blow-driers because what, they aren't made of glass and glued together too? They aren't IP rated? Right, because they are inferior to Apple products, got it.

"What exactly does he think Apple should do differently?"

Stop playing us for idiots. There are no boogie men that will jump out and pwn your phone because you installed a Chinese battery or decide to risk a DIY repair or load an app of your choice. Embrace your community; stop treating them like naughty children.

Right, they said the absolute worst case outlier was a gap about 100x smaller than average. Which i guess depends on your views, but i would say that's not bad.

> the gaps will differ because there is no mechanism that would make some number with close neighbors less or more likely to be drawn than any other remaining number.

When a new article is inserted, there is a higher probability it will be inserted in a large gap than a small gap, so it should balance out.

I suppose you're right,i am responding to an implied criticism to the randomness method that the author didn't make. They just offered it as explanation.

> If I put a dollar in my savings account and the bank loans it out to someone else, who has the dollar?

I don't think that's how banks work; at least in the US and England.

Below is an extract from an excellent article/tutorial from The Bank of England[1]

In the modern economy, most money takes the form of bank deposits. But how those bank deposits are created is often misunderstood: the principal way is through commercial banks making loans. Whenever a bank makes a loan, it simultaneously creates a matching deposit in the borrower’s bank account, thereby creating new money.

The reality of how money is created today differs from the description found in some economics textbooks:

1. Rather than banks receiving deposits when households save and then lending them out, bank lending creates deposits.

2. In normal times, the central bank does not fix the amount of money in circulation, nor is central bank money ‘multiplied up’ into more loans and deposits.

I don’t always agree with Gruber, but I do this time. I also think you’re doing him a disservice with your “paid shill” implication. He stated very clearly why he thinks it’s mandatory:

> If it were possible for iPhones to be more easily repairable, without sacrificing their appearance, dimensions, performance, water-and-dust resistance, and cost, Apple would make them more easily repairable. That iPhones are not easily repairable is of no benefit to Apple whatsoever. What’s the theory otherwise? That $69 in-store battery replacements are highly profitable?

Engineering is about tradeoffs, and Apple has made the exact same tradeoffs decisions every other premium phone brand has: they’ve sacrificed repairability in favor of the features Gruber made above.

You can choose to make that tradeoff differently—and a few niche brands have—but I don’t think that’s what the market wants.

Ultimately, complaints about repairability come down to “ why doesn’t everyone else value the same things I do?” The answer: because they value other things more. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I'm doing an EV conversion, and have trouble wrapping my head around the idea that a motor controller that weighs about ten pounds or so and isn't much bigger than a loaf of bread can handle about 100 kilowatts of power, converting DC at around 140-180 volts from the battery to 3-phase AC. And that's a relatively low-end inverter.
