> Science can be trusted. Measurements and the testing and retesting can be trusted. It's people that can't be trusted.

This is an important point and I think people should make it more often.

A human scientist who is committing fraud is misrepresenting facts about the world. And the way you would accurately describe those facts is with science. It's not that science is in the wrong here, it's that the human is lying about what the science says.

You want to be able to say "objectively, this guy lied about his research." But if you want to say that, then you need to be able to accurately describe both the world and the research so you can compute the diff between them. So if you throw out the science with the human scientist, then you've thrown out any objective means by which you were going to say the human scientist did anything wrong in the first place.
At least it's higher poly count that the original.

A Leap Forward in Laundry: Tide launches a revolutionary new tile form
Tilt-Shift lenses are great and I own one but ... just like many things in photography now-a-days, computation can do much of this.

No, it's not perfect just like an iPhone doesn't take as a good a picture as a high-end Canon/Nikon/Sony. But, AFAIK, all modern phones have perspective correction built in to their photo editor controls. I use them quite often to do the same things (in relation to perspective) as seen in the article. Again, they aren't as nice but 99.9% of the time the images I personally take are only going to be seen on a small screen. And even on a large screen (my 65" TV) they still look great at a glance.

There's two features I wish were more common.

1. Changing the size of the image. Say you take a 1000x1500 image, in adjusting the perspective to make the verticals not converge you'd really need the image to be 1000x2000. No app I know if will do this. As you adjust the perspective there's no option to increase the size of the image to fit the result so stuff just gets cropped. Ideally it would let me opt into auto-increasing the size of the image to fit the plane of the original after its tilted. (note: I get I could do this in photoshop by pulling the image into a larger document. I'm just annoyed I have to go that far and wish I could do it in the phone in the default photo editor as I just the perspective.)

2. Let me change the perspective live while I'm taking the picture. IIRC I found apps that do this but they want $10-$20 a month. Here's hoping Apple and Google add it to the default camera apps. This could be even better because given computational photography the phone can take 10-20 shots at 1000fps and then merge them for higher res in the areas where there's less censor pixels per arc angle.

P&G Launches Tide Tiles in Bid to Change How Laundry Is Done
Eh. I have a roof top tent I paid about as much for, that's just how much these things cost. Mine however has a hard shell that leaked like a mf^ and has probably cost me more than that in MPG. But it sets up and tears down in < 1 minute, which is nice when a cop has woken you up in the middle of the night to yell at you and threaten to have you ticketed for sleeping in a public place on land you own (BLM, for instance).

The renders were never going to work by the way... you can't have a tent with a mesh top. This was always going to need a rain fly of some sort.

The original poster specifically compares it to a roof tent. Obviously since the Cybertruck has no normal roof, the definition is strained here.

However, from what I've seen "bed tents" have you sleeping on the bed. This product has a raised frame that performs similarly to a roof tent (given the CT's angled design); allowing you to store equipment in the bed when the tent is up or down.

I developed the "Year Progress App," inspired by the idea that a week is 2% of a year, to make time more tangible using relative scales. Disappointed by the high costs and limited benefits of existing apps, I opted to create a free alternative that aids in effective time management. I chose not to charge for the app to avoid the hassle and to freely contribute to improving productivity. I've open-sourced the app, believing in the community's ability to enhance and expand it. The positive feedback on LinkedIn affirmed my belief in the app's potential and value.

That would certainly be an interesting turn of events if major apps like Facebook or Whatsapp decided to d-list from the app store and require their own store. Given Apple's current heavy fees and disincentives to do that, I'm guessing epic is probably the only company that will. I think a lot of people would refuse to install an alternative app store to get most apps.

But most of all, I look at Android where alternative app stores are possible with essentially no cost, and even with Amazon's enormous resources behind it, they could not get an alternative app store to catch on. I can't think of any reason why it would be different on iOS, so ultimately I suppose I expect this to go nowhere and a few years from now there will be the epic game store and the main app store and everything for nearly everybody will just be on the app store like it is now. The alternative stores will just have the apps that Apple wouldn't approve, like porn apps or privacy invasive, etc
Apple fearing or assuming their rules are unpopular would be even worse. My point is I don’t see why this limitation exists beyond Apple desperately trying to keep non EU users from using EU app stores.

Or to put it another way, the "intellectual capital" argument presupposes that you aspire to become a bully yourself, and live among a society of similar bullies. There is no incentivising effect on someone who wishes to innovate without abusing the legal system to stop others from creating similar things.
This adds confusion because it is not literally a symlink and it doesn't always act like a symlink either. It also assumes people understand the difference between a symbolic link and a hard link.

HEAD is a pointer. It points either indirectly to a commit through the name of a branch, or directly to a commit when you've checked out something other than a local branch (so called detached HEAD). In this way it acts both like a symlink and like a hard link. So:

HEAD -> branch name -> commit ID; or

HEAD -> commit ID.

Its literal representation is a file named HEAD whose contents are either the name of a branch or a commit ID.

A tag is also a pointer. It may also point either indirectly to a commit through an annotated tag object or directly to a commit (so called lightweight tag). So:

tag -> tag object -> commit ID; or

tag -> commit ID.

Its literal representation is
a file under refs/tags named after the tag and whose contents are the ID of the tag or commit object.

(Ignoring optimizations such as packed refs and the exact formatting of ref files. See Git book and man pages for details, or poke around your local .git directory. It's very explorable.)

It still wasn't that great back then. Even APM was wonky. Even back then, there was a tonne of firmware, and bugs got worked around in (Windows-only) drivers and INF files.

The amount of firmware has since exploded, and it's gotten much more complex to boot (pun intended.)

I think that's more the problem than specialized hardware.

US administration costs account for 14% of "excess costs" (above OECD average).

https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/dotcom/client_serv...

I worked in healthcare and this McKinsey report (exhibit 2 on page 81) is probably the best analysis I've seen that tries to isolate where the extra money is going.

The biggest driver of higher US healthcare costs is outpatient care. And it's not just that each healthcare event is more expensive (though it is), it's that Americans get a lot more outpatient care than other OECD countries.
I reread this and I apologize, I feel I came off very harsh. I was a little irritated at being unfairly stereotyped as an American, and that got a little under my skin and caused me to be much more abrasive than I would normally think appropriate.
There is an ideology where that is the defining characteristic, but it's not libertarianism, it's unadulterated anarchism.

There are many ideologies that believe in limitations on government regulation, and they're not all the same. A libertarian is not going to be on board with an anarcho-communist's desire to abolish private property, or a strict constitutionalist's willingness to have state and local governments set price controls. Whether a private monopolist/cartel is regarded as a form of government is a rather important practical distinction.

And hardly anyone is a pure anarchist -- how many people intend murder to be legal? So one way or another it's all about the details. And I'm assuming you're not a proponent of the opposite. Totalitarianism is the worst form of government including all of the others.
> The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) keeps record of every company in the United States.

No. SEC keeps tabs on publicly traded companies, large institutional investors and the like. Hence the 'securities' and 'exchange'. Most companies in the US are private and not publicly traded. And most companies are not asset managers.

> and valuable analysis is often hidden behind a paywall.

Sure, but that's because analysis is valuable.

The SEC already makes the information publicly available via their edgar system.

I'm not sure who your target audience is. Finance companies already have internal teams pulling this kind data for them or they buy it from finance data providers. As for the general public, what need do they have for top 'filers'? As for me, I'd rather dump the data into a database or excel and query it rather than looking at a static page.

At the very least, don't make the site static. Try to add a spreadsheet. Or at the very least a sorting option. Also, vanguard, blackrock, etc aren't top filers. They are the largest or top asset managers. Maybe tie news stories to each asset manager? And more data? But as I said, not sure what the value here is for the end user. Why would I or anyone else ever use your site? Or better yet, what do you use the site for?

I know several doctors. The ones that GP / Family practice are in it for the "right reasons".

The specialists, the two I know probably make 700k and up, are superficially in it to "help people" but it is apparent they love the money. Radiology, Cardiology, and AssDocs.

US specialists make far too much money, especially considering that GPs barely make 100k sometimes, but for two extra years you get 6-7x the salary? Come on.

I worked at a drug/device company. It started out in a garage and was originally a "morally run company". But it had long devolved into an MBA enshittified acquisition-deal company.

I worked at a major insurance company. They can't for public reasons show TOO much of a profit, which is PERFECT for the MBAs running that company, because they hoover up all the excess in a bloated executive structure and embarrassingly huge bonuses.

Never worked for a law firm. I generally assume them to be the smallest pig, the runt, which is useful for the other pigs to bully and blame for everything.

Which as mentioned would be a pretty novel argument. In all other circumstances in the industry, it's just an EULA you have to click through to download software. Those have repeatedly been found unenforceable any time someone tries to do something tricky or weird with one. Clicking away your right to sell your own property is awfully weird.

Contracts that do complicated things involve negotiation and signatures, generally. The more you rely on caveat emptor and the assumption that the License Clicker read through all the fine print, the more likely you are to get your contract tossed.

causation/correlation?
Regarding components, states and encapsulation, also mind the much ignored `Object.prototype.handleEvent`, which has been around since 1997. I, know, it's OO, but it is actually simple:

function Counter(buttonElement) {
this.clicks = 0;
this.handleEvent = function(event) {
switch (event.type) {
case 'click':
this.clicks++;
console.log("I was clicked " + this.clicks + " times." );
break;
//handle any other event types
}
};
buttonElement.addEventListener("click", this, false);
}

const myCounter = new Counter( someButtonElement );

(In case you wouldn't know: if an object is used as an event listener, its `handleEvent()` method will be called with that object bound to `this`. In a way, arrow functions are working around what had been already solved by this mechanism.)
I've heard git described not as a version-control program, but as a toolkit for making a version-control program.

Which makes sense--it explains why sometimes there's no obvious "right" way to do things, and why there are spots where either there is no abstraction or it's pretty leaky in terms of implementation details.

SCO–Linux Disputes
A super basic search doesn't show any studies showing the two cup experiment (with results showing 3x reward to get 50% of people to switch) and TFA doesn't cite any sources. If anyone can cite a paper for it, I would appreciate it.

If I knew the experimenter was trustworthy, I would not switch after the initial decision because there is no point to and definitely would for the $6 alternative. It seems very surprising that the median person needs triple to make it worth it to switch.

If I didn't know the experimenter was trustworthy (for example a street hustler in NYC), I definitely would not switch in the equal reward scenario and may even require 3x to switch because I would expect that they would only offer if my initial selection was wrong.

It seems reasonably likely the actual experiments failed to build trust in the experimentees and so are showing that reasonable decision making process. Given that the described process is very similar to 3 card monte, the experimentees would be primed to distrust the process.

I was playing an old RPG for the classic Mac OS recently and it has a casino that lets you gamble for money. One of the games is "dot racing" where you pick one of three dots and they race across the screen in random spurts and you win if the one you selected is the winner. I was save scumming so the only real penalty to losing was lost time, but I decided on the strategy of always picking the middle one no matter what happened, because of regret! I found if I was trying to pick the one I hoped would win each time I'd start feeling pangs of regret like "oh, I KNEW I should have picked that one, darn it!" but if I just picked the same one every time then it was out of my hands and I didn't feel the same sting.
