Neanderthals ran 'fat factories' 125,000 years ago

Oh, ALSO...

One of the things brought to me was a toaster that wouldn't stay "down", but otherwise worked fine. This is a semi-common problem - I had another #toaster with the same problem at the last Repair Cafe.

And this one... the manufacturer secured the bottom base to the chassis with Torx screws (fine) ... but SECURITY Torx screws. If you're not familiar with these, they're regular Torx screws but there's a pin that sticks up in the middle of the fastener head, so regular #Torx drivers won't go into the head. You need special #drivers with a hollow bit to go over that pin.

Now, I have "security" Torx drivers because fuck you, you don't get to lock me out of something that belongs to me [1], but this is ridiculous. It's a CDN$40 two-slot toaster, not some #unobtainium magic technological wonder. It's one great "Up yours!" from the #manufacturer to the #consumer and the #environment.

Name-and-shame time: it was a Black and Decker (they can pay me if they want me to use their vanity typography to refer to them). This is another of those brand names that maybe used to mean something, but now is just marketing. There are a *lot* fewer #factories making toasters than there are brands selling toasters. They just tick boxes on an #OEM's feature list to get "their" product.

[1] It's easy to get the drivers these days, so they don't have much effect, but when they first came about almost no one had them, so it was a major pain in the ass.

Old rules hurting #Thai #economy
🧐"Tariffs r only part of te prob. Other trade barriers, such as a quota system, often do more harm.. under #Thailand–China #FTA, fully built EVs fr #China enter duty-free, while key components face tariffs. Tt discourages local production.. Lax #environmental & #health rules hv turned🇹🇭 into a destination for #polluting #factories relocating fr countries w stricter controls.. #Competition #law is weak esp'ly in telecoms & digital platforms"

One of the world’s most cited scientists, Rafael Luque, suspended without pay for 13 years

Researchers are #evaluated by the #number of studies they #publish in #peer-#reviewed journals and by the number of times these papers are #cited by other colleagues.

The well-intentioned mechanism, however, has produced adverse effects, as explained by the British engineer Nick Wise, a researcher at Cambridge University who, in his spare time, seeks out fraud in science.

Wise has uncovered shady “#factories of scientific studies,” produced by #copying and #pasting other studies or by automatic #text #generators, and whose authorship is secretly #sold for hundreds or thousands of dollars to inflate resumes.

“I found a study by Rafael Luque whose authorship had previously been offered in a group on [the messaging platform] #Telegram,” Wise said
