Hey! It’s not just me! The other day, someone at work decided to throw away a large drawer worth of HDMI, DP, USB cables that I had neatly organized a couple of months ago. This was to make room for like 5 spare power strips that take up

Also, the definition of what a "reasonable person" is capable of understanding varies from case to case, depending on the interests of the companies involved. E.g. meat and milk industry want us to believe that a "reasonable

It's malice. Compliance tends to not "maximize the shareholder value". Why pay millions/year to maintain a compliance team when you can get away with paying a small fine from time to time?

Would a multi-stream archive format make sense at this point? I.e. store several compressed streams in the same file and use heuristics to decide where each file (or portion of file) goes.

Conspiratorial? Like lobbying is something I came up with this morning. Also, you don't need to feel threatened to push for something like this. Pure corporate greed is enough of a motivator. You're giving corporations a free pass

I've been following the PPWR in news and social media. Everybody is lamenting about the micro-enterprises that see their business squashed, but mostly because they are involved in one. I do empathize with them and really want to see th

Especially vaping devices. Cigarette butts were at least easier to dispose of than these plastic encased tips and single use vapes.

Yes, hardly anyone notices that TEMU is the downstream result of corporate greed over many years. Western brands outsource production to China to maximize profits -> less jobs, stagnating job market -> depressed wages across the board

There's definitely nothing that makes a published paper automagically correct. But the papers you mention were probably shown to be wrong by further published research, not with blog posts. Trying to discount published research with a

If you watch the news coverage for any kind of elections in the US, you would assume they are not determined by votes, but instead they are fundraising competitions: The one that raises the most money gets elected. I can't recall any s

Isn't trying to discount published research with a glorified blog post the Dunning-Kruger Effect in action?

Yes, the ending was kind of lame. Worse, it has been done before, again by Ron Gilbert. It is practically a rehash of the Monkey Island 2 ending, which got us nowhere in the long run.

May I ask how did you try to publish, and if you have done this before? Tier 1 is HARD. Universiy labs (where publishing is their bread and butter) and have multi-year streaks of Tier 1 papers, still seek out collaborations when publishin

I think that's only the excuse the car makers use for being lazy and not taking design risks. Because homogeneity also extends to the interiors (which are not affected by regulations). And of course the offered colors, where we have al

Culture has been rapidly regressing to a mean long before AI. See e.g. modern cars. Until the mid 00s, you could tell different brands apart from far away. And you could perhaps also tell a few things about the owner from the color. Or movi

I agree that the positive effects of Social Media is understated, and probably on purpose. Social Media allowed ordinary people to challenge on a global scale the oficially-sanctioned narrative. A generation has already grown with full dist

I think they can already sink any US ship that comes in range if they want to. And the US knows it too. But for different reasons, it's in neither's interest to go there.

Personal rule: Whatever you are asking (question or action), make it easy to spot. Place it either at the start or the end of its paragraph. Never ask >1 things in a paragraph, to make responding inline easier. This is especially importa
