This brings to mind a pending bill in California where they are trying to amend the state constitution to allow the state to discriminate based on race, sex, etc. as long as it is "research-based" or "research-informed". In practice, I imagine it would enable the state to cherry-pick or even solicit research that would allow them to discriminate in the way that they want.

"The author" here is none other than Scott Alexander, formerly of Slate Star Codex. For what it's worth, I wouldn't worry too much about his axe grinding; if there's anyone you can take at face value he would be the one. When he has biases he's pretty clear that he has them.

You point out a colloquial meaning of the phrase "no evidence", but look closer at his examples -- these are routinely used in both colloquial and technical ways, and in the end muddy the waters more than necessary. In his words, from the article:

> You can see the problem. Science communicators are using the same term - “no evidence” - to mean:

> 1. This thing is super plausible, and honestly very likely true, but we haven’t checked yet, so we can’t be sure.

> 2. We have hard-and-fast evidence that this is false, stop repeating this easily debunked lie.

> This is utterly corrosive to anybody trusting science journalism.

'Spatial video'? I guess this is just an Apple marketing term because they don't want to say 3D? Can you imagine how boring non-spatial video would be?
Has anyone seen a negative review from someone that has had a chance to try it a few times? All of the reviews I have seen have been pretty phenomenal. That is one of the reasons that I am looking to give it a try. If the UI and screen quality is so fantastic, it will be a great virtual screen for productivity and entertainment.
I’ve tried some work related VR goggles when our GIS department started using some for their drones. Maybe I’m just an old man yelling on my lawn, but I really don’t think I’ll ever want to put a screen on my head for anything other than novelty “fun”. I know some people like it, but for me it’s just annoying, so I do wonder if I’m in the minority or the majority thinking like this.

I think the idea of the “office less” office is great, but the annoyance of having something covering my head is just too great. Maybe the technology has evolved enough for it to be not annoying, but I wear glasses and even those I wish I didn’t have to wear.
Please don't resort to personal attacks.

The issue with creating a communist society inside a capitalist society is that it is only possible for people who already have access to capital. People without access to capital do not have that option. If it is unjust to exclude others from private property or if the person who owns the private property gained in unjustly, then it is unjust if only those who own private property can opt out of capitalism.

I think a lot of big-co are setting up subsidiaries overseas and hiring there. It's different from the contract based offshoring model that happened in 2007 or so which had rather disastrous results. I know my company has and plans to have almost 1/2 its IT workforce as direct employees overseas.
A high-end MBP is costly, but is generally seen as a workhorse that will serve you well for at least 3 years. Spending a similar amount of money for a gadget with a questionable purpose and quick obsolescence is certainly out of reach for the majority of people not living in the SF tech bubble.

>This turns scientists into a priesthood of experts

>We should not "trust the science"

Unfortunately, those are accurate descriptions of many people's relationship with science, including many academics and scientists themselves.

Whether by malice or subconscious self-deception, the most used and useful part of scientific studies is the conclusion, without regard for the reproducibility and efficacy of the experiments or observations. The veracity of these conclusions is weighted by two things:

1. The existence of data-gathering and experimenting rituals, but not necessarily the soundness of the data or experiments

2. How aligned the conclusion is with the expectations and beliefs of the scientists, their funders, and their target prospects
It’s both. They absolutely should’ve been clear about what was happening and should’ve given people the option to turn it off and had more obvious battery health notifications. It’s not a conspiracy to sell more phones imo.

If you want someone to blame, the mostly popular apps on the App Stores get more and more bloated every year.
Fair, though I'm also getting married in April. I've considered renting one for a single day, if that's even possible, because once moments past you can't really get them back. It's the same for people with kids, you can wait and just capture through all our existing great cameras, but if spatial video is eventually a thing you'll wish you had that from when they were a certain age, too. Even if you don't have the viewing device anytime soon, you'll wish you had the capture later.

That said, I think a professional photographer will be more than enough. I'm just explaining the buying impulse that I have for capture.
You're getting downvoted for this, but factually what you're saying is correct. He did lay of 90% of the staff and although people have claimed Twitter will die any minute, it hasn't.

Whether or not a lean team is the way to go perhaps remains to be seen, but what I'd say is that my anecdotal opinion on this is that the majority of engineers are a liability and assuming that 10x more engineers means 10x more work done is incorrect. Most engineers can build stuff, but they also add complexity and require hand holding. Both suck time from the most productive engineers.

A team of 10 excellent engineers is easily better than a team of 100 good engineers, in my opinion.
The challenge is that there’s no actual law that you would arrest them under.

So the real goal is to have Congress create a law that states that if a CEO is not a fiduciary of the employees (in contrast to an fiduciary of investors) they should be jailed

Seems like that would be a good law

Investors - despite the claims from fund managers - aren’t moving countries to avoid this stuff because the actual LPs are American institutional 401k and Funds which theoretically are employees.

So a law requiring corporate management to prioritize labor over capital would I think actually make a good impact.
Yeah, I read that and thought "woah, shots fired". But I'm old enough to know the definition of "secure system" varies so widely from person to person, it's just pointless to bicker about it.

> big part of oil money has gone to lobbying

That may be true (as it probably is for most big industries), but what does it have to do with what I have been saying? I have been talking about a comparison between two electric systems. The Fraunhofer paper just provides evidence that the COP of air heat pumps is much worse than advertised on average. If you are talking about the parent comment that said that they installed a gas system after looking into the heat pump: even there it is not clear if a heat pump system is better in terms of total emissions. It heavily depends on what kind of home you are equipping, because you also have to account for emissions caused by upgrading and maintaining insulation and other facilities, and for emissions caused by conventional power plants to supply the electricity for the pump (and the flow heater for hot water). The german energy mix, for instance, does still depend heavily on conventional plants in winter, even if the wind is blowing: https://www.smard.de/home/marktdaten?marketDataAttributes=%7... and during summer your expensive heat pump will just sit idle.

> we have been using heat pumps for decades and it is a great thing.

Great for your finances, the environment or what exactly?

> My point is it all depends.

It does. So we better look into the details instead of making decisions based on who has been accused of lobbying most prominently. But most people are not interested in looking into the details. They just want to appear "good" based on what's currently being seen as "good". Marketing departments know that.

Space is limited, screens are expensive and hard to transport, and people are more mobile than ever. Having your multi-monitor setup at a coffeeshop just as it is at home is a huge gain.

I’m not expecting this to replace monitors for most people now. But next monitor upgrade, if you already work on a Macbook, it might be a better option than an external display for some people.
> rather see a grassroots movement pushing to once again return to the marketplace of ideas, where for each "category" you have a host of apps competing against each other, not just one or two.

IMHO, what we need to return to is "free (provider choice) and competitive (provider price) access to the market."

E.g. what the internet and web originally were, which begat the current tech giants (including the modern versions of Microsoft and Apple) by allowing them to circumvent existing gatekeepers.

Which, critically, means removing the requirement to pay a tithe of your success (or attempt) to anyone.

Because that's where big tech is currently financially entrenched -- to be on our platforms (i.e. any used platform), you have to pay us.

Which leads to tails-you-lose-heads-I-win scenarios, which strategically block any future challenger from emerging, because they're sacrificing so much of their profit to existing gatekeepers.

The EU got their regulatory targets correct -- either you can be a gatekeeper, controlling access to a large number of users, and abide by heavy limitations on your ability to tax companies that go through you; or you can not be in a gatekeeper position and compete fully.

But you don't get to be a gatekeeper and do anything you want.
Here's a quote from the very Reuters article you linked:

The CDC and other agencies also continue to heavily downplay the risk as 'mild myocarditis.'

It's just not going to happen. The general public are not going to put this stuff on their face for anything other than short periods of time (if at all) and only for entertainment purposes (if they do at all).

You're not going to see general public families sitting on a couch watching a movie together with these things on their face. Joe and Jane Smith don't want this.
Oklahoma is actually doing some really interesting stuff.

They've greenlit and are building a new refinery that will be powered entirely by renewable energy [1].

Now, you might be tempted to say "how can a refinery be 'green'?". After all, it's still producing refined petroleum products. Thing is, we're already producing those and new refineries are much greener than old refineries [2]. Limited refining capacity is a big contributor to, for example, high gas prices in the last few years. The US hasn't built a significant refinery in decades and we're losing capacity as existing refineries are repuprosed or shuttered completely.

We still need refined petroleum products and will do for some time to come.

Anyway, other comments seem to complain the cars aren't really made in Oklahoma. But there's a factory in Pryor, OK. Car parts for any car factory are sourced from all over the place. "Made in X" is a fairly nebulous concept with global commodities and manufacturing.

And scientific evidence is also a very different bar depending on what sort of science you're doing. In medicine the gold standard is a double blind RCT but a geologist can't reasonably conduct RCTs with volcanic eruptions so they aren't required, but thankfully rocks are much simpler than biological systems. Or for psychologists p=.05 is enough for a study to be good evidence but particle physicists require much lower p values than that for something to be official scientific evidence.

That's one sense in which it is used, but the other sense is the opposite -- "no evidence that covid vaccines cause people to become magnetic" is not a "yeah, we haven't checked for the evidence yet, but we'll get right on it".

The point of the article is because this can cut both ways it is impossible to distinguish between the shades of meaning, and the phrase should be discarded entirely.

The point is unless legally obligated to, as in the EU, Apple does not and will not allow their services business to be disrupted. Watch, even in 5 or 10 years when battery power becomes sufficient to run a code editor all day, Apple will still not allow it. This is in fact exactly what happened with the iPad. I had a Windows Surface (which have their own issues) and what I liked was that it was an actual computer. I wanted to replicate it in the Apple ecosystem but turns out that it's impossible. iPads have the perfect form factor, hardware and even accessories to do so, such as the magnetic keyboard, but the software simply will not allow them to cannibalize MacBooks.

It's funny, because Jobs himself said, "If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will."
I might be missing something here but thet "Calendar API" exists for a long time: CalDav.

> How powerful is the Impulse Cooktop?

> With the integrated battery that can slowly charge up when you're not using it, and then quickly release that energy when you turn up a burner - there’s an incredible equivalent of 72,000 BTU/h of heating power, or 10 kW. (Compare that to 18,000 BTU/h for the best gas stoves currently on the market, or the equivalent of 28,500 BTU/h for some of the best induction stoves.)

If the 10kW is per burner, that's a record. Highest I've considered is 5.5kW in two Bosch models (PIV975DC1E, 775, using a 32cm pot) that aren't sold anymore. Apparently not enough demand - most models are 3.7kW with boost. There are higher priced models that go to 7.3kW but that's a twin boost that works with an oven dish, not just a circular pot.
It is probably for another product but there is at least one Sony email address, and a number email addresses from different corporate entities, on the FreeBSD contributors list. All 3 majors BSD OSes also list donators (can be financially or hardware).

So saying corps that use BSD code never give anything back because of license is not true. And an awful lot don't do any more or even hide their use of gpl licensed code anyway.
How do they make any user do anything? These aren't water utility companies, there is a limit to how they can be fined and still compete. I assume many things are already priced at the highest number the market will pay. How, for example, will FB/meta pass the cost to social-network end users?
That's a fairly radical change, from 5 minutes to boil to 40 seconds. How is that even possible? If you pour water on a pot that's been dry heating for 10 minutes it'll boil immediately, but only the water that touches the metal and soon the temp drops.
I am posting this from a used T480 I got on eBay for $250 a couple months ago. What a deal! I'll never buy a new computer again. The only thing I changed was the battery, which was basically shot.
On a purely technical level the main thing stopping PWA adoption is the JS front end universe being addicted to front end frameworks which destroy the UX of websites and PWAs, but there is a key value add with app stores which PWAs will never have: trust, and much as the Apple haters will hate it it is much stronger on the iOS App Store because of the very things they hate about it.
