  • It's fun to rag on USians, but their "democracy" hasn't been by or for the people for a long time. An exhaustive 2014 study by Princeton academics found that

    "Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence."

  • [QUESTION] Opinions on nitro-infused carbon steel wok

    Jump

  • It's a 好帮手wok, a line of SUPOR, which is a very well known and regarded brand in China and Asia more broadly.

    The Japanese isn't random, just reads as ちゅうかなべ which is just Chinese wok. They probably added it to the California specific packing to appeal to the rather substantial Japanese market there.

  • I don't, because sadly it's the only thing that works with the right, and really people in general.

    They don't care about actually well researched policies or political content - these get labelled as the "liberal wall of text."

    We need more of these sorts of jokes for engagement. See for example Megan Coyne's tweets when she ran Biden's official Whitehouse account.

  • Single payer healthcare systems get all the political attention, but we really need a single payer judicial system. Basically public defenders but properly funded and for prosecution as well.

    The US judicial system is also particularly bad because each party is responsible for their own legal fees. Most of the world has the loser pay the winner's fees.

    Jump

  • 汽油 (gas, as in state of matter + oil) refers to petrol/gasoline, the kind you put in cars.

    石油 (stone oil) is refers to oil, as in the natural resource (such as crude).

    原油 (origin oil) refers specifically to crude oil.

    柴油 (kindling oil) refers to diesel.

    加油 (add oil) is used to mean refilling the car with petrol.

    And finally, 机油 (motor oil) is engine oil.

  • datacenter liquid cooling solution

    Jump

  • Water cooling is typically much more complex and expensive than air cooling, and is mainly attractive because of space limitations. The same applies to data centers. IBM's mainframes have a liquid cooled version mainly targeted towards users wishing to get the most out of their data center space before upgrading sites. These ship without coolant, and simply ask the user to "just add water," i.e. just demineralised/distilled water.

  • The WiFi tracking tech is not too new, but re-identification of subjects is. That is, instead of the shopping centre having to build up their own database to profile you, they can just match your unique biomarker to a external data broker's database, supposedly.

  • Luckin Coffee, the extremely successful Chinese competitor to Starbucks exclusively operates via their app. Sadly, users prefer it because of all the discounts and coupons it offers. So really, just surveillance capitalism as usual.

  • We all know grammar Nazis. What incorrect grammar are you completely in defence of?

    Jump

  • My pet peeve is people thinking they are being clever by complaining about the supposed incorrect usage of literally as figuratively.

    People, including famous authors, have been literally (not hyperbole) using the word as an intensifier, and therefore, figuratively, since 1847, e.g. F Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Dickens, and William Thackeray.

  • (Laser) Printer go brrrr

    Jump

  • Ink tanks have a waste ink pad, which is essentially a sponge that soaks up ink, which may be replaceable depending on how shitty the manufacturer is.

    Canon Megatanks don't have a pad at all just dump the ink randomly, so you have to throw the printer out.

    Epson's Ecotank pads are replaceable, but have a DRM chip for a sponge (though quite cheap).

    In a rare W for HP, their smart tanks have user replaceable pads (albeit labour intensive).

    Print heads for ink tanks also tend to be fairly cheap, around $50 for a colour set. Issues with clogging etc are also overblown, with most modern models with auto clean cycles.

  • (Laser) Printer go brrrr

    Jump

  • People love laser printers (and rightfully so compared to inkjets), but ink tanks fix most of the issues with inkjets.

    Ink tanks are refilled with generic ink, as opposed to proprietary cartridges. They thus have vastly cheaper running costs, even more so than lasers, which still needs replacements for their drum units every few years.

    Also, laser toner is literally fine microplastic powder, and printing works by depositing and "baking" this powder onto paper. Laser printers result in terrible indoor air quality without adequate ventilation.
