PFAS are different from soap in that your body can't break them down or excrete them well, so they bioaccumulate. Eating soap is absolutely not good for you, and if it also built up in your body people would be really worried about small exposures to it.
Prices went up. Inflation is the rate of increase in prices. So slower increase means lower inflation. No increase is 0% inflation, decrease is deflation / negative inflation.
I had a recent experience with autodesk that shows that free tiers can disappear or be neutered after you've invested significant time and energy into them.
If you just owned that version of the software it would work forever instead you are at the mercy of the platform forever.
It's not just free tiers. Imagine the comments here in a decades time when Figma goes full Adobe and starts to squeeze every last drop of blood out of their customer base.
I don't use sketch, so I don't know anything about it. It's mac only and while i have an ipad pro and an iphone, I don't own a mac and dont want one, and thats a mac only app.
I'm not sure why sketch would have the restrictions they have except that forever supporting old formats might be more expensive than they could justify.
This is newly interesting in light of the recent pentagon UFO revelations (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/23/us/politics/pentagon-ufo-...). While these have low credibility, and even if true are likely not extraterrestrial, finding life on mars would change this calculation.
Lower then low, to the point that whenever somebody mentions them, I believe there was just a "wish to be true" and then stop.
When checked, it was just a "rerelase" of the old already published material (one can also think about to whose benefit that distraction was) which was already carefully debunked by Mick West:
Also, one day after NYT published their article "No Longer in Shadows, Pentagon’s U.F.O. Unit Will Make Some Findings Public" they published a correction too:
"Correction: July 24, 2020
An earlier version of this article inaccurately rendered remarks attributed to Harry Reid, the retired Senate majority leader from Nevada. Mr. Reid said he believed that crashes of objects of unknown origin may have occurred and that retrieved materials should be studied; he did not say that crashes had occurred and that retrieved materials had been studied secretly for decades. An earlier version also misstated the frequency with which the director of national intelligence is supposed to report on unidentified aerial phenomena. It is 180 days after enactment of the intelligence authorization act, not every six months."
Emphasis mine, now imagine how many articles in how many media were written before the above correction, and it will explain what most of the consumers got as the message (namely, the first, utterly fake version with fake "crashes").
I was curious too - "Paul Galvin wanted a brand name for Galvin Manufacturing Corporation's new car radio, and created the name “Motorola” by linking "motor" (for motorcar) with "ola" (from Victrola), which was also a popular ending for many companies at the time, e.g. Moviola, Crayola."
This is pedantic, but RADAR relies on photons as well - radio waves are just a different frequency of EM radiation vs visible light. A RADAR system emits photons that are reflected and hit a sensor like LIDAR does (or like a camera with a flash does). I think your point that having more diverse sensors is safer stands though.
I agree with the spirit of your comment, but FB certainly CAN pay 15% raises to their lowest paid employees - I imagine w/ very little impact to their bottom line.
Its not about a 15% raise today, it's about a 15% raise every year indefinitely. Rents are increasing at 10-15% annually, no company can afford salary increases of that year after year after year.
