Which is interesting to think about the margins eaten up by packaging vs the product itself. Packaging must be a very small fraction the cost of the product I’m guessing.

by jxramos 3y ago
Exactly, there’s a muscle memory and a tangible quantity a package often implies. When the packaging mismatches the quantity it is misleading essentially and wasteful of resources at that point. Think about the shipping angle where packagin

I wish changes like this would also trigger a change in the barcode, that fundamentally by law a new unit size of the same product would be given a new number and that number would be on the receipt. If the number was tokenized like a VIN w

ouch, yah without some alternate explanation it kind of reeks of a deliberate caste system being created in the Apple ecosystem. Only certain folks would get it. I had my first taste of this with the macro support only showing up on the Pro

that's very weird, what's the BOM savings here? Seems like a custom part regardless, is it the controller chip that's cheaper? USB C for 2.0 seems baffling I agree.

that would be deep if producers anticipated future remasterings and wanted to keep their options open for downstream derivatives that could bump royalties and revenue all along the way. That's some deep thinking if they actively reject

yah, I'm speaking of mostly TV productions, music videos, and that level of video material. We do have thriller in 4k, other productions too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOnqjkJTMaA . Now those are interesting exampl

This is why the 70s look amazing. All those film recordings to be remastered over and over again and keep putting out. The 80s and 90s will forever be stuck in lousy low resolution.

I am beginning to accumulate instances of recording when Comcast lied to me personally. They patently lied straight to my face (over phone, over chat) on numerous distinct points. The most recent was outright fraudulent not canceling my pho

that's a pretty deep meta level observation, the wrestling with a category to sully it with bad associations.

yep, the news pools all the crazy outliers spread across big windows in time, geography, demographics, whatever the universe is of interest, and reduces them to a concentrated dose.

I was going to repurpose some small old tower fans for some windows in "vent mode" where the window is open slightly but has a latch to lock in in place for security.

I wonder if its mostly expressed in the negative form, because "the done thing" by itself is like an incomplete sentence and an ambiguous phrase. Kind of grammatically squishy in some fascinating way.

by jxramos 3y ago
That's good to know. I'm feeling it's somewhat analogous to in the US where mentioning something is taboo.

Ah yes I missed that part, that is indeed a tricky back reference to manage and pull off in prose.

> Every right-thinking intellectual somehow knew that a candid assessment of Soviet rule was, well, just not the done thing!… What does this sentence even mean, did they mean to write “was just not something you (ever) did”?

I wonder if undergrads could be harnessed to enter into this kind of work, maybe under the supervision of doctoral students and a well meaning and interested PI.

Yes a metadata relationship link would be outstanding. Reproduced in some paper xyz, or by some institution, named individuals, etc. some kind of structured information would be very useful.

by jxramos 3y ago
You know what I would love to see is metadata attributes surrounding a paper such as [retracted], [reproduced], [rejected], etc. We already have the preprint thing down. Some of these would be implied by being published, ie not a preprint.
