  • In 2016, Burridge and Linden studied a slightly different measure, the time it took water samples to reach 0 °C but not freeze. They carried out their own experiments, and reviewed previous work by others. Their review noted that the large effects observed in early experiments had not been replicated in other studies of cooling to the freezing point, and that studies showing small effects could be influenced by variations in the positioning of thermometers: “We conclude, somewhat sadly, that there is no evidence to support meaningful observations of the Mpemba effect.”

    From the Wikipedia article.






  • About a year ago, Canva tried to raise their prices significantly.

    I forget exactly, but I pay for an account and can have 5 people on my team. They said they would start charging for each team member or something like that.

    One person said their cot went up from like $100 to $600, maybe the numbers are off, but it’s close to how severe there increase was.

    There was so much backlash over it that they decided to keep the old pricing structure.
