Seems like it would make sense to mandate a specific height for headlamps. I wonder why this hasn’t been done.
It's not necessarily height. Angle of the lamp impacts things as well.

>>> How should we think about cloud seeding?
It's a way to take someone else's rain.
Under international law, countries have complete and exclusive sovereignty over this airspace, just as they do over their land. They aren’t “taking someone else’s rain” because the clouds they’re seeding are effectively theirs anyway

I am trying to buy a new Nintendo Switch, but it seems impossible.
Search results are polluted by refurbished products that you only realize are refurbished once you look at the details. This happens for me even after selecting "new" specifically.
I believe this is because Nintendo pulled out of Amazon for Switch 2.

It is late and I am thinking out load. How about a reputation system where users bring proof that other websites haven't found them abusive.
Visit a website that require identification. Generate a random unique identifier in your user agent. Live your life on that site. Download from that site a certificate that prove that your didn't abuse their site. Repeat that a few times.
Visit the site that wants to know if you are an abusive user. Share your certificates. They get to choose if they accept you.
If you abuse that site, it reports the abuse to the other sites that delivered you a certificate. Those sites gets to decide if they revoke their certificate or not.
It is a self policying system that require some level of cooperation. Users make themselves vulnerable to the risk of having sites they like loose trust in them.
Sounds like a privacy nightmare. Also, what one site calls abuse, another wouldn't.

Yeah, I get that pop-sci writers don't want to scare off their audiences with hard science, but at least a callout with a couple of cited sources would help add a lot of credibility.
Not just a lot; any credibility. As it stands, the article is not credible at all.

If a thinly-capitalized company has its few assets seized, then it ends up going bankrupt (which leads to the stories here about moving companies that went bankrupt). Vicious cycle, really.
Yes, but a few able bodied men with a rental truck have nothing to seize.

Where is there any indication of hoarding in this situation? The company contracted to provide certain services but wasn't staffed to actually do so, nor well enough equipped to actually accomplish it (lack of packing materials.) How much stuff is being moved is completely irrelevant to this.
The thing is movers have little in the way of repeat business, thus little incentive to treat the customer right.
There isn’t any indication of such, OP formed a strawman by suggesting the problem is because of hoarding.
