JPEG Compression 4 months ago

The details were destroyed long ago by the poor compression, you aren't getting them back either way.

They are tiny and the ones not on your fovea don't register enough "pixels" for your brain to recognise the rotation.

Yeah there are multiple accents in Spanish, but each accent is still a 1:1 mapping from written word to pronunciation, there's no enough/through/dough nonsense.

The long scale is common in French, German and Spanish for example. English usually uses the short scale. The scientific community uses SI prefixes, which aren't part of either scale (you don't say a billion joules which is ambiguous, you either say a terajoule for a long-scale billion or a gigajoule for a short-scale one).

From TFA: [...] the assumption of 'less but better' being a superior approach to product design is rarely practically evaluated.

The third umbrella in the series takes durability to an almost cartoon-like level [...]

This was a study of materials and design, not a product someone would like to sell . It's research on object longevity.
