The amount of additional water needed to wash the yogurt container, compared to the massive amount of water mismanagement in agriculture and industry, is minimal. We learned this during the recent California drought.

The real reason that people (myself included) don't always wash plastic containers out: it's a hassle.

There are several ways we can try to solve this:

- Separating recycling materials at the curb, so the yogurt container never meets the clean paper (although I thought Canada already does this).

- Biodegradable plant-based plastics suitable for food packaging purposes

- Better automated sorting technology at the recycling center.
This is definitely a great way to get people to recycle but I think the problem here is that because recycling companies can't send plastics and paper to China they don't have anywhere to sell the recycling to be reused. Not enough companies are buying it to make new products

Is this 'hallucination' though? Or just some weird stuff happening in visual processing?

I underwent some very serious periods of sleep deprivation (Army) and our 'hallucinations' were of a totally different kind: having conversations with people that were not there, seeing things that were not there, misidentifying people whom you know really well who are right on front of your face, taking on different personalities etc..
I don't think that anyone is claiming that there aren't tradeoffs. You seem to agree that there are times when licensing provides a benefit to society that outweighs the cost of generalization. I don't think it's silly to suggest that companies aren't always in the best position to weigh their own costs against the larger benefits to society.

Anyone doing weight lifting has any experience with fasting? I'm not so interested in doing weight lifting while fasting (doesn't sound too good) as in the muscle gain/loss after a fast.
It's a bit verbose, but this kind of thing is far less prevalent in Haskell anyway; most of the time you destructure a list through pattern matching, not explicit head/tail functions.
Off-topic:

Articles like this, and most others that deal with health and medicine, present a problem for me that is somewhat hard to describe. The research for this one appears to be built upon prior research (which is hopefully validated with these findings) and the two headliners appear to have some credentials, so let us skip the question of whether or not the reporting itself can be trusted, as that is not what this is about. The first thing that I notice is that the trials mentioned in the article do not seem capable of proving the claim made in the title, but let us assume that they instead ran a trial involving humans fasting (which could be incited by a study like this) and had the same results. I would like to believe that this is a breakthrough, but how is it to be reconciled with the other 400 breakthroughs we find for various cancers each month? If even a small percentage of them were as valuable as they are expressed to be (and we ignore the contradicting evidence), I would expect cancer, diabetes, and obesity (at least!) to be solved problems by now. I suppose that what I am saying is that with there being so much FUD and so many actual unknowns about what determines the well-being of humans that I find most studies to be hard to believe, especially without being able to test most of it myself. It might be a given that nothing you read can be fully trusted, but it is becoming difficult for me to trust at all, and that is without even considering the fact that some people are reporting findings for studies that never happened. It seems to me that the two most common strategies are to either believe one thing and reject all new information that contradicts it, or to believe most of the new information. Overall, I am left feeling hopeful that the people to who articles like this would make the greatest difference to have found a logical and efficient way to handle this sort of situation.

Any thoughts?
I wonder if the same effect can be reproduced with image recognition software.

Patents ostensibly offer a tradeoff - you have the right to a temporary monopoly on your invention, on the condition that you publish an explanation of your invention sufficient for a third-party to re-create it. It is not a unilateral gift to inventors, but a quid-pro-quo to encourage the public dissemination of new technologies.

Modern patent practices have diminished the latter part of that tradeoff; many contemporary patents protect only one small part of an invention, or are sufficiently obscure and complex to provide little value to a third party. The rate of technological change has greatly accelerated, which has drastically changed the value of a twenty-year monopoly; many computer-related patents become obsolete long before the patent expires.

I think there is a serious need to review the basic mechanisms of the patent system, because it has gradually transmuted into something fundamentally different. In a great many cases, patents inhibit rather than encourage innovation.
Many websites legally need opt-in permission to put (and use) a tracking cookie, so unless the user intentionally chooses to do opt in, they're not legally permitted to do so even if the internet technologies enable them to make it happen.

There are many things that are technically easily possible, but prohibited unless certain nontechnical conditions are met. Tracking cookies is one of them.

Opening a browser doesn't constitute freely opting in to your specific use of data; at most it constitutes not opting out, but that's not legally sufficient.
Be that as it may initially; ultimately JzG relented, opened an Arbcom case, and explicitly invited KalHolmann to put forward their position.

One of KalHolmann's key actions in response was to seek to be removed from the case entirely! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests...

Do you deny that this happened? Would you put forward the position that KalHolmann changed his mind later? Or (checking the record) do you see that mostly other people took over and examined the case instead?

Even towns in the 'habitable' area get in the upper 40C [115F] regularly during summer

I'm curious about how "uninhabitable" is defined in this context.

There are American cities of millions of people (Phoenix, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, etc...) where summer high temperatures never get below 100-110° for months on end.

They, too, are in the desert, but not classified as "uninhabitable." (OK, maybe Vegas is uninhabitable... ;) )

Down the road from Las Vegas is a town called Baker, California where the hottest temperature on earth was recorded. 134°, IIRC. Thousands of people still live there.
There is no social convention on the Internet. If you live in a quiet safe neighborhood you can often get away with leaving your door unlocked at night. But when parking in a city of millions of strangers you always lock your door. On the Internet of billions of people, lock your doors.

I rotate my home WiFi passwords regularly. A business with revenue can’t afford to do this?
It's all inter-related from a funding POV. All service delivery for social services is via county government in the US.

Even something like CPS is significantly funded via other programs. They perform functions like managing foster care, early intervention, medicaid enrollment, etc and draw administrative funding that is shared among programs.

It doesn't mean the UBI is bad, just that you cannot bank all of the "legacy" spending.
Thanks for the correction. Fixed.
Someone still has to recycle it (which isnt really happening in the US) and then they need to sell it for more than they are paying with the deposit return. This is probably not going to be worth the effort in the US. China was our go to affordable recycling partner, and now they have found to not be profitable enough to be worth it.

There are already some pretty impressive recycling robots, especially in the field of sorting out mixed recyclables (scanning the incoming stream and shooting stuff that matches certain parameters into a separate area). It's pretty cool, you should check it out. I don't know how economical they are but they still require human backup because of the sheer variety of (incorrect) crap put in recycling bins.

You need to be careful putting taxes on these things because of their regressive nature. Who winds up feeling the pinch when you add a $.05/can tax on soda cans? Does that person really have time to make extra trips to the supermarket to redeem a few dollars worth of cans?

Also while landfills are among the ultimate NIMBY things, we're not running out of space on this earth in any real sense.

Some things are just not worth doing economically. Maybe we should go back to the old ways and have consumers sort into only a few categories that are easier to manage - e.g. "paper" and "bottles and cans", and not bother with the rest.

If I'm understanding correctly, if I compare the performance of my VTSAX fund vs all of the stocks that make it up, VTSAX would show better performance because it includes money made from lending out securities? This seems like a major spot for consumer confusion - how do these funds decide what percentage to return back to the fund vs keep? Why wouldn't Fidelity keep 100% of these fees, and then charge a negative fee?

Disclaimer: This is all speculation based on anecdata from the internets. Noone really knows if/why IF helps.

Its not exactly the same. One is caloric restriction, and the other is caloric exhaustion. If your entire body worked as a single unit it might be that simple, but:

1. IF helps cull gut-bacteria which can only survive on simple foods. e.g. Bacteria which are inefficient and would happily produce toxins because it knows with enough of its simple foods it can outlive other populations and its own toxins.

2. IF helps turn off the digestive system. When this happens your stomach will stop "growling", and you will feel energetic even tho you haven't eated food for 16+ hours. Allowing the digestive system to relax, and flush/hopefully clean itself up, and won't happen because you went for a run.

3. Senesent/Cancerous cells may still be starved by exhausting all calories quickly, but it really depends on how those cells die(it might just take time), and how the body allocates resources. You can imagine a tumor sitting on a major blood vessel will continue to eat before any muscles are. The only way to starve it is to not eat.

All that said, exercise is always good. Just be careful. Try to do it in the first half rather than the second half of your fast. Fainting is never good.
This shows an externality - that "Recycling" was really just a sham. Actual recycling has a cost overhead.

I think this is a good thing. I think it will drive to actual recycling that does actual good, instead of, as China realistically called it "moving trash".

> seeing that Apple is releasing iOS 12 for the iPhone 5s released in 2012, how do you figure?

That's a false comparison.

A disposable device is one where the preferred method of service is replacement rather than repair. And probably where replaced parts are discarded or recycled rather than refurbished.

It has nothing to do with support of the hardware or software.

It's evident that the new versions of iOS are not optimized or very well supported on older hardware. You could argue that Apple's support of OS upgrades on older devices is primarily to avoid having to support old versions of the OS.

hledger is mostly compatible with ledger. It's fairly mature and has been around for a long time.

They have a comparison on their site:

The author of hledger is also behind the plain text accounting site:

For me, the primary benefit is I could build hledger but not ledger. I don't know if they've fixed it, but building ledger was not easy.
> They're not talking about computer programmers though (I agree they don't have the ability).

This pigeon-holing was way beyond tiresome, not to mention grossly inaccurate, 20 years ago: please STOP IT. Computer programmers aren't in general some special class of person incapable of learning new skills and behaviours. Quite the opposite for the most part.
Their version of events seems like ass covering - for a loss on a principle level for OKeX the PnL from the clients position would have exceeded the clients total margin posted not just that clients posted maintenance margin - which it appears they are claiming. OKeX's risk team given the liquidity situation must not have either been able to 1) raise more margin via a margin call AND 2) been unable to unwind the position prior to margin exhaustion given liquidity constraints.

I find it truly shocking they did not have net and gross delta limits defined for client accounts and did not model or monitor margin / liquidity dynamics. It is simply amateur hour at play.

The client essentially had a massive free put option against the OKeX and its members. I would not be at all surprised if the client was actually the other way on another exchange (net flat) and simply arbed OKeX's socialised policy.

> The more interesting question is whether Computer Science (the academic discipline) should focus more on the societal impact of computing instead of solely on the technical implementation of computing

This is a very long and especially old discussion, I'd say it approaches 150-200 years, and it first started out as a reaction to the optimistic views of positivists like Auguste Comte. Afaik nothing conclusive has come out of it yet, even though the discussion focused on some heated topics during all this time: should the physicists that invented the atom bomb be held responsible for Hiroshima? should the chemists be held responsible for the mustard gas used in WW1? should the bureaucrats with their focus on modernizing the State and having everything well-labeled and well-counted for be held responsible for the fact that that made the Nazis' job a lot easier when they needed to find the Jews among the general population? etc etc
Sure thing

Should be pronounced like this:

Shiao - Ching - Zheng

Shiao is pronounced like "shout" without the t, or "ow" (like you hurt yourself) with an sh in front of it

Ching is pretty self-explanatory. Rhymes with sing, but starts with ch.

Zheng is harder to describe. It's similar to "zing" but instead think "zeng" (with the e pronounced like the e in end). Now, to pronounce the "zh" sound try to pronounce "it's" but stop yourself at the interface between the t and the s. That is about the sound that you should be making. Don't make the sssss sound either. It's more of a z sound. Like if you saying "zzzzz" and then moved your tongue back a bit.

This isn't true either. If you're using an IP lookup to determine the user's current country, that's still processing PII (since many courts have already ruled that an IP address is unique enough to identify a person -- technical challenges notwithstanding).

However, you have a clear and stated use case for processing that PII so consent is not required, but you are required to mention this processing in your privacy policy. Not publishing this processing is (strictly speaking) a violation of the GDPR, but the processing itself isn't.
