For me the most important advantage of blind review is not that 100% of papers are effectively blind, but that if you're a noname author you have the right to be blind and not having your paper looked down on just for that reason. That alone justifies double-blind review.

Regarding papers that cite proprietary datasets that no one can access, in fields like AI where it is perfectly possible to release datasets (if there's a specific reason it's a different issue), as far as I'm concerned they should be outright rejected due to lack of reproducibility and inability of the reviewers to check the correctness of the claims. Although I know this is a minority viewpoint and it won't happen.
So glad you asked!

The main one is that files sent to trash are encrypted. So that a private key is required to restore them.

Ideally even the meta data is encrypted.

I've watched too many kids spy movies from the 2010s with files restored from trash!

Edit: just wanted to add I just mean via GPG! Rather than asking encryption be added to the application.
mmm I really doubt that was the real reason why you "dislike" the green message and that it was purposefully designed like so by Apple.

I think this is a case of learned significance, for which you know that a green bubble means a message sent via SMS rather than the "smarter" message. Added to the fact the blue is often used by tech companies due to its fresh and modern connotation, you have the full picture on why your brain prefers the blue to the green message.

That being said, I think Apple should have been more careful about making their message bubble pass contrast tests. But I doubt there was an "evil designer" carefully planning to make that bubble with lower contrast on purpose to make you dislike it.
I would be super excited for this if it was from any other company.

The vast majority of trucks don’t load full. Especially the local delivery trucks.

And even those loaded by volume could probably go to glass without hitting weight limits.

Green was the original color of text messages when the iPhone was introduced. When Apple introduced iMessages four or five years later they made iMessages Blue.

This isn’t some great conspiracy.

So your solution is to ban plastic entirely? If so, then sure, let's talk about it - I'm not picking sides, I don't care about plastic bottles that much (or at all). What would you pick as the replacement?

Sounds like license verification.
Yes. From the article: "To be clear, it is not that green is gross. It is the low color contrast of the green Apple picked and used against white text is gross." The original design used black text, for one thing.
Yes and no. It used to be black on green (with imo a way worse green).

At least the local delivery trucks are often quite empty - easier to have a big truck and not need it than a small one that runs out of room.
Wait but we have found a killer app for it, 3D videogames, isn't it? It's just not a market big enough for Meta since they want everyone to be using it so they are looking for bigger markets? But it seems to me there is a very clear and pocket-deep sector there.

Nice theory, but the reality of how these decisions get made is usually far less interesting.

Some product owner probably wanted the iMessage enabled texter to "pop" and the designers usually take that and roll with it usually through some combination of boldening one, and deemphasizing the other to give the overall desired effect. It's a good call out for them to improve the color contrast, but you can adjust the contrast yourself through the accessibility options.
I think the way it works in france is that when you buy a graveyard plot, you buy it forever, as long as someone maintains it. If the plot isn't maintained, after a while it is deemed abandoned and reclaimed.

ok, you are probably right, glanced at send.h and it seems it only allows a limited set of "btrfs" fs operations.

that would fit with my description (at least in a sense) it enables an "append" only mode to a remote side (where "append" means cant mess with previous snapshots remotely).
When will people realize that the point of differentiating between Android/iOS bubbles isn’t about discriminating against teenagers, but rather it’s about security. If my messages are being sent through an insecure protocol that leaks my messages to the police, carrier, and skids with a rtl-SDR (SMS) rather than a secure encrypted protocol (iMessage), I want it to be obvious.

They have every reason to make “green bubbles” look toxic and off putting, because unencrypted SMS is genuinely hazardous.

Short term rise due to commodity prices, but shifts to LFP and other cheaper approaches will allow the dramatic long term price trend to continue.

If you look at PV there were similar "ah ha, costs have stopped falling!" moments in the past (mid 2000s, for example), but they didn't last long and were followed by even more dramatic cost declines. It's important not to be selective here, like climate change deniers are looking at global temperature data.
In general? There is no a single person to ever live without that bias.
The author is just overthinking things here. If anything, green is the color used to indicate “go”, a positive sign that has been etched into our minds. The reason is very clear as already mentioned “it doesn’t support messages”. Why isn’t that explanation enough?

EDIT: to clarify here, the author does explain his point about the color and the contrast of the text. He may have a point there but IMO, the main issue was that it’s not messages. The thing I should have added is that back when it was implemented people had to pay real money per message to send as a text message. That means everyone in the group had to feel uncomfortable sending frivolous messages when it costs someone money. I think that is the real reason for the bifurcation and not the color choice.
I don’t have intuition for how large a 300L solar water heater would be — you mean the solar array on the roof, right?

If you have infloor radiant heat with concrete floors, then you might not need much water storage — the concrete provides heat mass. I would look more at deploying PV arrays for offsetting the electricity usage of the heat pump than adding more water storage and solarthermal. Solarthermal is technically more efficient in providing heat alone than equivalent electrical energy, but a heat pump uses that electricity to gather heat from outside, operating at 200-400% efficiency. Electricity is also more useful across the whole house, and of course is a great help in the summer for providing air conditioning.
Realistically our existence will be purely AI based by the time we figure out how to transport things across the stars, if ever.

Did you RTFA? It's not about the colour, it's about the contrast.

I wonder if the contrast has changed over the years. It could be a worse green today than originally.
You're right of course, for VR specifically, it's insufficient, but for XR/AR, there are many more applications where it fits. I guess that when we also get physical scans of real objects, streamed live to others, it will make quite a difference.
I understand the ideas behind publicly talking about salary, but I don't think I could ever mention my salary publicly. I know my friends earn a lot more than me and I'm ashamed of my salary. I'd much rather have them thinking that maybe we were possibly on level footing.

Many style guides now say to write in active voice (Nature is one of them, but many others as well). I don't have the books in front of me, so can't find the citation, but many publications on scientific writing essentially recommend direct language.

The reasoning is that the work was "subjective", i.e. carried out by you. By using "detached third person language" you are trying to give a false impression of objectivity. This is similar to management/PR double speak like "we are forced to raise our prices", "we are unable to compensate you"... (I don't assign malice in the case of scientists though).
Wait a minute, does this mean that the entire conceit that this culture produces a superior form of truth is a hollow lie?

Duh
The author should’ve included an example of a green with great contrast.
Apparently its also a problem that affects older people more than younger ones.

Good luck getting your VR meetings product off the ground when your 50 year old boss can’t use it without getting sick.

I would be totally fine with them hiring hundreds of translators to expand Wikipedia in other languages. English Wikipedia has 4x as many entries as most other languages.

True neutrality is something like centrism; it's a weird unopinionated or compromising middle ground that only works in theory.

The dissent’s argument -
“Were Congress to act today specifically to prohibit the type of racial discrimination suffered by Weber, it would be hard pressed to draft language better tailored to the task than that found in § 703(d) of Title VII:”

Is pretty spot on.

SCOTUS needs to revisit this issue.
Or congress needs to revise the Civil Rights act to correct the wording cited by the Supreme Court majority on their opinion.

Their argument is that the statue states that it’s not “required”, but doesn’t state “required, or allowed”, thus suggesting that congress intended to allow this racial based decisions. And yet Congress included 703(d).

Absurd court case which is the source of this ongoing insanity.

Not sure if you are trolling? If the secret is on the blockchain, it literally becomes public by definition. And if it's encrypted somehow, what is the point of the blockchain?

You could just send an encrypted document to all the relevant people, and later on give them the key. At best the blockchain would prove that you actually send it to them (or everyone in that case), but nothing else.

No one here read the article, it has nothing to do with it being green but with it being low contrast.
The fine article makes no mention of green being a "negative color", it's not even about the color, try giving it a read.
I feel obliged to mention Loeliger's Threaded Interpretive Languages. It really helped me figure out what was going on under the hood w/ FORTH. That might be my only "beef" w/ FORTH back in the day, introductory documentation was easy to find, but intermediate and advanced documentation was much harder to come by.

Forth, Inc. now has a number of decent books. Check them out at https://www.forth.com/forth-books/ . And the Internet Archive has plenty of FORTH books: https://archive.org/search.php?query=FORTH . And the FORTH Interest Group has links to most everything else: http://www.forth.org/ .

And let me echo the sentiment that it's delightful to have a programming language you could probably implement in a weekend and understand every bit of what's going on under the hood.
"To clarify, I'm not gonna buy it from any company that will require me to sign-up and log-in somewhere to use the device I bought."

The article elaborates, however. It's not a problem that green is used. It's that Apple chose a lightness/shade that is less accessible.

Given their attention to detail in design (see the rabbithole of their Human Interface Guidelines - https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...), I agree with the author in that this was an intentional design choice that Apple made.
A link elsewhere mentioned that a lot of them are hired to handle the flows and distribution of money to e.g. charities / NGOs. I'm sure there's a lot of backhanded deals going on there.
I wish Apple accessibility let you change the colors.
He's far from alone. Companies have famously dropped Snow Crash on a table and said "make this.". He's just the one with the most money and people.
JetBrains employee here, and I can clarify the point about “Requires login and periodic connection to JetBrains servers to verify the project”. If you are using Fleet in a Free (hobby) mode, we are verifying that the project comply with one of three criteria:
1. your project is local (no Git or Git Remote).
2. your project is public on GitHub.
3. your project is private but has less than 3 committers.
In this case, we will need a periodic connection to JetBrains servers to exchange information verifying that you can use Fleet for free, but in no way we would send any sensitive information, such as source code, file names, etc.

If you have Fleet license (paid, for example) there are no criteria checks at all, just the license verification with your JetBrains Account. And we plan to support offline usage similar to how it’s done for IntelliJ IDEA-based IDEs now (offline license keys, floating license server.)

Right now Fleet is in the EAP, and there are no licensing checks at all, they are not yet implemented, and we are not yet done with the verification workflow design.
Actually, 500 seems low. If this was a PA at [FAAMG] it would have 1000+ full-time employees (to say nothing about the salary).
Peer review doesn't verify the correctness of data. At best they'll flag flagrantly fabricated data that doesn't pass the sniff test, but attempted replication of the results is not what peer reviewers are doing.
A large problem with this whole idea is that there is no one single blue or green involved.

iMessage shades the bubbles depending on position, and shows both the blue and green bubbles as darker at the bottom of the screen, and lighter at the top.
It's just the workflow. Mfa is fine with passwords and console, but everyone has been educated to understand once they have a iam key saved on a disk its no longer correct to have.
I agree. It is possible. But this feels like a case of 'the exceptions prove the rule'.
that sounds like a typical marketing though.
> They don't crash into each other for the same reason our satellites (mostly) don't: they are in selected orbits.

Real world orbits != Kerbal space program orbits

Things don't stay put in an orbit because the (a) earth isn't a perfect uniform sphere (b) gravitational influences from the rest of the solar system will perturb things. Satellites needs regular stationkeeping to keep them in specific orbits.

And that is even though low earth orbit is mostly empty. There are only about 27,000 "objects larger than a softball" according to NASA's orbital debris and spacecraft tracking.

To build a Dyson swarm you'd need to scale that up trillions of times to capture a significant portion of the Sun's output.

I just looked at the first 10 articles in Nature.

Most declare no conflicts of interest. One author of one paper seems to have started a company based on similar technology: potentially a bias, but also potentially putting one's money where their mouth is. One other author lists some consulting work for a few companies.

As for grants, I doubt people are bending their results to appease the NSF or NIH. There's certainly groupthink in what gets funded. We're still throwing money down the ABeta-for-Alzhemier's hole, for example. That eventually shapes what topics get published, but maybe not the specific results. The recent Abeta articles are pretty negative, for example.
How? If I'm critical of something what do I do?

If there's a vaccine and the majority of people in that field say it's safe but you want me to be critical what do I do?
Because the competition becomes primarily about raising money and less about building a successful product or business. In that environment, being scrappy and doing more with less gets you crushed by overfunded competitors with slick decks.

It’s not strictly better if your goal is to raise money and take some off the table, but it does create headwinds to building a stable right-sized business when investors mentality is full bull-market swoon.
> Prompt or no prompt, if you use GPL software, you are forced to accept the GPL.

No prompt, no forced acceptance. You are simply wrong. The GPL permits all use, it has no restrictions on use. It restricts only distribution.

> This is no different from Apple’s license, which also allows you to use the software freely unless you want to redistribute it.

You are wrong. You didn't read Xcode's license. I did, it places substantial restrictions on how and where you can use Xcode, not just restrictions on distribution.

Summary: the green bubbles have lower contrast than the blue bubbles. Lower contrast is associated with lower accessibility, according to published Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Agreed, I don't see the harm in programming naked if you want to AND your employer is cool with it. If your employer wants you to show your face, its not some egregious human rights violation. It might be something you dislike, but its a very reasonable request.

Just seems absurdly self absorbed and out of touch with some of the struggles of others to act like that is such an imposition.

Don't get me wrong. I don't really see the point of asking for employers to be on camera - but theres a million things employers have people do that I don't see the point of - it doesn't make them a violation of your rights.
I don't mean to sound like an asshole here but did you read the article? The author outlines that the contrast applied to the green is less readable than the blue, to the point where it falls below accessibility guidelines.

I personally am not convinced by the theory that Apple is doing this deliberately (though it doesn't sound impossible to me either!) but either way it's something they should change.
