one of my hottest takes is that shared laundry machines in an apartment building is better than in-unit. it's a good example of how individual solutions can be worse than collective ones.
with shared machines you can use two machines at once at a less-busy time. a single in-unit machine would take twice as long. in-unit means the noise the machine generates is inside your apartment, so you can't have guests over or take a meeting while it's running

This piece nails it.

Ilekroć macie wydać nową wersję, rzucacie kostką. Jeżeli na n-ściankowej kostce, rzucacie jeszcze raz.
No to tak: jeżeli rzucicie n dwa razy, to podnosicie wersję główną, a pozostałe komponenty zerujecie. Jeżeli n wyszło tylko raz, to podnosicie pomniejszą wersję, a trzeci komponent zerujecie. W przeciwnym razie podnosicie trzeci komponent.
Mechanizm zaskakująco często stosowany.

Nine EU countries are joining forces to push for public charging infrastructure for heavy-duty vehicles along two major European corridors. The goal is to speed up grid connections and permits for charging hubs along these routes, making smart use of available grid capacity wherever possible.

Nine EU countries are joining forces to push for public charging infrastructure for heavy-duty vehicles along two major European corridors. The goal is to speed up grid connections and permits for charging hubs along these routes, making smart use of available grid capacity wherever possible. Ministers from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland and Sweden have just signed a declaration to work on accelerating the development of charging infrastructure fo…

Worker Discretion Advised: Co-designing Risk Disclosure in Crowdsourced Responsible AI (RAI) Content Work
Responsible AI (RAI) content work, such as annotation, moderation, or red teaming for AI safety, often exposes crowd workers to potentially harmful content. While prior work has underscored the importance of communicating well-being risk to employed content moderators, designing effective disclosure mechanisms for crowd workers while balancing worker protection with the needs of task designers and platforms remains largely unexamined. To address this gap, we conducted co-design sessions with 29…

A computational method for type I error rate control in power-maximizing response-adaptive randomization
Maximizing statistical power in experimental design often involves imbalanced treatment allocation, but several challenges hinder its practical adoption: (1) the misconception that equal allocation always maximizes power, (2) when only targeting maximum power, more than half the participants may be expected to obtain inferior treatment, and (3) response-adaptive randomization (RAR) targeting maximum statistical power may inflate type I error rates substantially. Recent work identified issue (3)…

»Windows 11 updates break localhost (127.0.0.1) HTTP/2 connections:
Microsoft's October Windows 11 updates have broken the "localhost" functionality, making applications that connect back to 127.0.0.1 over HTTP/2 no longer function properly.«
This could affect many more people and companies without them knowing how their local software works (no accusation).

Shoddy excuse 2: “Maybe it was her personal device but she shouldn’t have agreed to let the employer install remote management software”
Could she really say no to such a demand? Not everyone has the power to refuse a coercive demand from an employer. There should be a strong legal firewall around employer demands to surveil people’s lives. And there should be mechanisms for an employee who is met with such demands to put the brakes on their employer.
I realize the word “should” is doing a lot of work there, but let’s at least be clear about how wrong that situation would be.
