Can you also see the actual reviews of the products, or just the total number per star? If the reviews are also available there's potential room for sentiment analysis to automatically determine the common complaints about those products.
Funny you mention Disney as I feel the 'y' is clearly the hardest letter to make out.
Because a lot of companies are using "inflation" as an excuse to raise prices.

Remember, prices generally are a function of the cost the market will bear. If the general public will pay more for something, why not rise the price? If everyone is rising their prices at the same time, you have less pressure to compete on prices.

The problem is that even if the only thing you care about is money ... this is often a poor strategy. Because, achieving the "same result" is rarely something that is actually accomplished. The expertise provided by senior folks almost certainly translates into all sorts of unseen impact, such as crises averted that you don't even know about because they never happened.

The article implies the nitinol tires will last much longer, essentially a lifetime. Or at least most of it will, since they talk about $10 retreads. Presumably the sidewalls will never decay.

And I have no idea if this is true but it's at least possible that they'll weigh less than other puncture resistant tires since the usual method of gaining puncture resistance is adding a bunch more rubber or gel.
I wish there was legislation in place that sets legal standard sizes; for one, it would allow for more uniform packaging, allowing reuse between brands and reducing trash. It would be more predictable box / pallet sizes, reducing transport costs. And it would give consumers more security, even with the mandatory price per liter / kilo notices which are often hard to read.

One example of shrinkflation / cost fuckery here is cheese. We buy a kilo of it every time, but they've changed it so you get e.g. 920 grams. Looks the same size, but it's slightly different, thus hard to make comparisons. Still up 30% since before the Ukraine thing though.
In theory, the serving side is supposed to be standard across brands and package sizes, so that you can compare brands.

I wish they would require a second column that is per ounce (for everything) so you could compare different foods.

Also, they should have to write everything to two significant figures. There are massive rounding errors on most labels.

> Inflation increases profits, too (but not in real dollars).

[Citation needed]

I find it hard to believe that corporate profits rise exactly proportional or less than the inflation rate.
I don't think I've ever seen the price per unit unit not be the across brands of the same packaging type. Now this does get dicy for individual wrapped things, but outside of that everything uses the same unit in the same range.

Even still, this is not a reasonable approach to tracking shrinkflation because I know I don't keep a running log of prices from week to week. I do sometimes notice package shrinking, but only because I buy weekly. If I wad a bulk buyer I'm not sure I'd notice as fast
Blender is also managed exceptionally well for a FOSS project, systematically polishing up rough edges and paying close attention to the needs and desires of its userbase which no doubt inspires larger donations from more donors than FOSS projects usually have.
That would manifest as a "price per unit" starting only recently, so immediately appear sus if you were buying the same product for a while.

Forcing an SKU change to have to translate to a "clearly labeled name change as well" would also help.
Imagine you buy for X, and sell to some supermarket for Y, and they pay you in T time.

Optimum Y is not related to X, but the price when you replace the stock. ( let's say X2 ) When supply has problems, or economy is unpredictable, it is harder to predict X2, so usually your estimation is a bit off.

So you have to have bigger margin to cover for this estimation error. ( assume the worst )
I don't think this is a problem of company structure. It's solely a problem of bad management. If they had listened to their users or their own developers, or any remotely sane person with some touch of reality, then this wouldn't have happened. But if you hire the former CEO of EA - a guy with no low level industry experience and who left his last job because of poor financial performance - then this whole fiasco seems like it was inevitable.
Agreed – I don't claim it's simple. What I mean is roughly this: greed is bad, but it's even worse when combined with dishonesty.
No, the reason why is price gouging.

Or as companies like to call it 'not leaving money on the table'.

Prices have outpaced inflation. Everything has, except worker pay and minimum wage.

Profits are record-breaking while laying off workers. CEO compensation and bonuses are insane. Housing prices are out of control. Gas is still $5/gallon where I'm at.

It all boils down to one word: GREED.
People used to die of Cholera in London because they were drinking sewer water. There were so many deaths that they were motivated to fix this.

We still breathe sewer air. There weren't enough pandemic deaths to motivate us to fix this.

Proper ventilation gets CO2 levels down below 500ppm, at which point all respiratory illness transmission rates approach zero. CO2 is a proxy for how well our exhales are clearing the room before other people inhale.

What makes fixing this expensive is that one doesn't want to trade energy use for clean air. Modern heat exchange technologies require more space than old building support without modification.

There has been much written about this. Here is one article:

Google removes fake Signal and Telegram apps hosted on Play
"Signal Plus could monitor sent and received messages and contacts if people connected their infected device to their legitimate Signal number, as is normal when someone first installs Signal on their device. Doing so caused the malicious app to send a host of private information to the attacker, including the device IMEI number, phone number, MAC address, operator details, location data, Wi-Fi information, emails for Google accounts, contact list, and a PIN used to transfer texts in the event one was set up by the user."
Would it have failed if it was properly maintained?

I bet somebody knows this. And that is the question that imposes culpability, not the ones you asked.

But if you are not going for culpability and just assumes everybody is honestly trying to improve, the question to ask is "was it properly maintained?"
It does, I won't applaud Putin if he switches to electric tanks. (not that Carrefour is Putin, but you get the point - a marginal fix from someone who is a nontrivial cause of a problem is not a triumph)

This is a good idea, shame drives change, and it's good that customers get better information.

But also, the customer rarely benefits from large monopolies leveraging their power. Somehow they're always the losing bystander in these battles. I'm suspecting that the real motive is different, and I don't know the long term consequences of how they're gonna leverage that new negotiation tool. (maybe they won't display it if the manufacturer gives them a discount?). And then maybe it's just marketing, maybe there's no motive, and they want to show they are supportive of their customers. But then once a buyer realizes the tool they have to leverage an extra discount, it may change.

Forgive for being suspicious when an actor that has historically always been acting on their own capitalistic interests starts doing something that is not.

Epic/Valve are privately held now, but if you build a team and game series on a proprietary platform, you are at the whim of the platform owner. It might be a low risk now given they are looking to scoop up teams ditching Unity, but nobody knows what will happen in 2 or 3 years.

I run a bookmark server at home, where I keep all of my bookmarks so I can access them from any machine.

Any links I want to share between machines, I put on the bookmark server.
Agree. And not everyone is fan of converting compile time errors into runtime exceptions which spring considers as great benefit.

Thank you for term consultantware. I am hearing it first time and it is great.
That's probably because you can read English in cursive. It's hard to imagine what it might might look like without that knowledge. But try reading something written in cursive in a language you don't speak. Even with the clearest penmanship, it's very difficult. All the letter-forms are similar and context is really important for decoding it. Here's an example of something in Norwegian [1], written in a style of cursive quite similar to how I write English cursive. I can make out some letters and a few words with confidence, but it's mostly scribbles to me.

Even this Swedish text, with such perfect penmanship [2], is a bit challenging in spots. (I don't speak either language.)

Going back to Johnson & Johnson, that "ohn" sequence in the cursive "Johnson" could easily be confused with sequences like "iunr" or "lins" or "fins".

The only way you can learn to read that is probably by learning to write it. It relies on knowing that e.g. there's a sharp flick of the pen, and a very light line drawn, between the tail end of the "h" and the start of the "n". That's how we know it's the end of an "h" and the beginning of an "n", and not the middle of an "u" which would be drawn with a slightly darker, more curved line. Along with context hints, from the language and content.

Eh, this is a colloqualism I can get behind, though "firm"-ware is actually just a different type of software.

"Hardware" meaning that it's very inflexible, "software" meaning that it is comparatively flexible, "wetware" meaning that it inherently lacks order. ;)

I recently discovered detergents and powders regularly overstate how much is required for a wash, and it even leads to worse results, I'm normally sceptical (or just ignorant) of such articles but I halved how much I used and it seemed to be pretty much true for day to day washing (Don't know about massively dirty clothes, but talking weekly wash here)

> whereas every asynchronously loaded <div> in the first case is gonna be 3.8 KB. An inventory with 3,176 items will take 12.2 MB to fully load WITHOUT product descriptions e.g. user decides to search empty string and scroll all the way to the bottom.

If you're asynchronously loading something, why are you loading divs, and not JSON which you then display on the page?

> fter the front page is presented, so the first thing visitor sees is a quick loading page, the 2 to 4 second load happens in the background, they click a link, BOOM next page loads in its full-featured, one-or-two-human-readable-class-per-element glory with the Sneaky Load Giant CSS as an already-cached dependency.

This has nothing to do with Tailwind, css classes, or even JS frameworks.

> outside of every paragraph (instead of a single, well-defined paragraph class that could even inherit common custom properties)

Again, this has nothing to do with Tailwind, and everything to do with:

- CSS sucks at components

- CSS sucks at scoping

- CSS sucks at nesting

- CSS sucks at namespacing

Literally nothing is stopping you from applying a global style even if you use Tailwind. Moreover, the authors of CUBE methodology [1] suggest Tailwind for utility classes [2]

You're not following me. It's a single serial bus at 3,125 bytes per second. Expressive controls like polyphonic pressure take at least two bytes, sometimes three: that's for a single message. A note on is typically three bytes, channel, key and velocity.

All these messages have to take turns. It's not a tracker, or a modular synth, where you can parallel click rise times electronically: it's not DINsync, where a chain of voltage pulses synchronize individual sequencers and aren't themselves notes.

1000 messages a second (at three bytes for each note-on) seems like a lot but it really isn't. With your 16 instruments (any drum, the xylophones, whatever) you can fire about 62 notes on all instruments per second. That seems like a lot too, but it's a hard limit, and it means your sixteen instruments have to 'blur' across 16 milliseconds to all fire off a note.

That means every time you fire all the instruments as one click, instead the attacks make up a 960hz tone. That's NOT one attack. Humans on percussion instruments can do better than that. It's the equivalent of 5.5 feet of space between speakers playing back: if you're time-aligning a tweeter and a midrange to produce a unified click, and you misalign one of the drivers by putting it five and a half feet back from where it would be, you'll notice the misalignment. Midi's timing issues are also noticeable.
It's even worse when the products you are trying to compare unit prices for when one of them shares a volume unit price and the other a weight unit price and another is in counts.

These things should really be standardized.
My point is that there's nothing stopping children from having access to all content to begin with because there's nothing stopping children from signing up as an adult.

The correct thing for the EU to do if they actually cared about this is to enforce true validation of ages on social media. This is exactly what's being proposed in the United States, with a 3rd party verification service being required for all social media to actually verify ages.

The law in its current form, both in the EU or United States, is pointless and trivially circumvented. Charging a third of a billion for something like this is so laughable.
Ah yes, AI will be the thing that destroys peoples trust in shared truths, a truly unprecedented shift...
If you think traditional tires are expensive, these guys are $500/tire.
You're definitely not alone, but I don't really get it. As far as I'm concerned, it's like worrying that people don't learn how to rebuild a carburetor anymore. Cursive greatly aids in legibility for things like quills and fountain pens, but it's hardly a necessity in the age of dirt-cheap ballpoint pens and mechanical pencils.
Between Unity’s headcount and acquisitions it’s hard to not be reminded of the dril candle tweet.
I had a bag of salad croutons that measured a serving as “2 Tablespoons” — are they expecting me to crush the croutons to measure a serving? Or just “eyeball” it to convert rectangular things into hemispherical things?
Cyberpunk visuals knocked my socks off. They still do (even more now). Once CP77 expansion comes out at the end of the month with dlss3.5, starfield will look like even more trash. Trying to play starfield after bg3 has led me to a disappointing experience due to the face textures alone.
Not only that, but in my experience they usually kinda suck. They are super thin, and with age they start to take quite a while to inflate. For the tiny amount of air in the pad, you could fill it with your lungs in a few breaths at most. I've been happier with non-foam inflatables that roll up much more compactly, and blow up to be two or three times thicker.

"Cursive handwriting engages sensorimotor brain regions that are not activated by typewriting"

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-athletes-way/202...

"For young adults, we found that when writing by hand using a digital pen on a touchscreen, brain areas in the parietal and central regions showed event-related synchronized activity in the theta range. Existing literature suggests that such oscillatory neuronal activity in these particular brain areas is important for memory and for the encoding of new information and, therefore, provides the brain with optimal conditions for learning. When drawing, we found similar activation patterns in the parietal areas, in addition to event-related desynchronization in the alpha/beta range, suggesting both similarities but also slight differences in activation patterns when drawing and writing by hand. When typewriting on a keyboard, we found event-related desynchronized activity in the theta range and, to a lesser extent, in the alpha range in parietal and central brain regions. However, as this activity was desynchronized and differed from when writing by hand and drawing, its relation to learning remains unclear."

Maybe Godot is similar enough where you'd be able to consider this. Otherwise this move is more harmful in the long term of Unity and it's about future games and not current ones. Long term matters more, always.

I'm curious about the wear and tear, after all, even puncture resistant tires wear down, age, get UV exposure, heat up, freeze, etc. They hold up well enough though, and replacing them is cheap.
I think fundamental to Willingham's action, and his intent, is that there now is no "official" Fables comic series. There's DC's version of Fables, but now anyone can make one with equal legitimacy.

If people treat the DC version as "official", then that has some (not all) of the same effects as claiming that Willingham gave DC the copyrights in the first place. DC can't sue anyone if they aren't the owner, but they can take advantage of fandom's desire for an "official" version to crowd out anyone else writing such a comic, and threaten competitors with lawsuits to get them to stay away (IANAL and don't know exactly how much they could do).
Glassfish and Java gets an undeservadly bad wrap, IMO. It comes with so much enterprise goodies out of the box - TLS, load balancing, DB connection mgmt, monitoring with Grafana, scalability over multiple cores, good performance in general, easy filters for API calls, and more. Slow load time, yes. But it's worth it for the other features, imo.
God damnit. You presented a simple question, and at this time 3 different people have answered your question with contradictory answers "General government budget", "The country issuing the fine", and "Into the EU budget".

Here in the Netherlands, all units are metric (g, ml, g, kg). Liquid products are advertised by volume, but is they're watery (ie. most products), you can just assume litres are kilograms.

Fatty or very sugary liquid products (e.g. cream, syrup) are the only things that can't easily be compared to kg price. I've only seen those advertised by volume, so they can still be compared to their peers.
Tomcat and Jetty are, still, the largest Servlet providers and actively maintained.

Glassfish, Wildfly (what was JBoss), Apache TomEE, Payara (Glassfish fork), Open Liberty are all active and maintained OSS EE servers.

Then there are the commercial only servers Weblogic and WebSphere and likely others.

The Jakarta EE world is vibrant and robust, with a lot of the activity at the Mircoprofile and container level, since most of the core capabilities are quite mature. It's no longer some monster EE server running everything, necessarily. It supports all sorts of scenarios. After the name fork from Java EE to Jakarta EE, and the transfers of everything to Eclipse, the paperwork is finally slowing down and momentum building back up.

Having written EE code for over 20 years, across servers, platforms, porting code, I have long appreciated what JEE brought to the table.

Spring is a powerhouse, make no mistake. They have done a lot of innovation, and the EE standards are absolutely a reflection on things they brought to the table first along with insights from other parties.

But they're just one implementation. The core JEE services have a wide array of implementations all with their own quirks and benefits.

The folks working within the JEE standard track help lift all boats as, in time, all of the implementations catch up to the latest specifications. So it's a bustling and competitive space, without necessarily being completely wild west. The gives a lot of power to folks developing on top of it, with a platform offering reasonable stability while still offering diversity of implementations.
