There are natural processes that remove CO2. There are no natural processes that break down plastics to a safe form.

EDIT: To be clear I am not saying that it is harmless to release lots of CO2 I am saying that we can't compare pollutants by simply looking at the gross tonnage released.

The Haber-Bosch process is not dependent on fossil fuels. With renewable sources (biogas instead of methane for H2 generation) the process is more expensive, but there are no technical limitations here that mandate the use of fossil fuels.

With advances in biotech and possible harnessing of biological nitrogen fixation we might overcome even this...

No. More and more robots and systems will have to work to support the expanding, aging demographics.

Japan being a world leader in scissors does not surprise me after listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History episode on Japan:

https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-62-supern...

Dan brought insight into Japan that I did not have, explaining that Japan is a society of extremes. For Japan to be world leader in anything the Japanese society sets their mind to does not surprise me at all now.

(side note: I worked and lived in Japan for seven years and my wife is Japanese too. I thought I knew what Japanese people were, but Dan's explanation crystalized what being Japanese is for me.)

(I'm not a lawyer.) This might be a small matter of a misunderstanding, straightened out easily, with everyone happy. Corporate lawyers and HR are just doing their job, which is protecting the company's interests, which includes not giving away anything, and trying to keep the upper hand. This posture might seem scary. You need to straighten this out, preferably in a collegial fashion, but don't panic.

Talk with your manager some more, see how much s/he can help you fix this with the company. This might be getting the OK for open source work (future, and retroactive), or it might be only getting you a pass for a past misunderstanding.

If manager decides to make a case for the company supporting/tolerating open source contributions, s/he might sell it as a way to improve employee morale, enhance the reputation of the company for recruiting, improve customer goodwill/reputation for open source savvy, get free open source labor from others on software the company can use internally, or something like that.

You might find it reassuring to consult your own lawyer. Your own lawyer might have a very different perspective on some key things (e.g., reasonable personal accommodations while traveling on business), but hopefully it won't be necessary to debate the matters. If someone asks you to sign something, or your gut says you've been targeted for termination and/or legal action, consult your own lawyer.

Regardless of how that turns out, you might also need to give the leadership of the open source project(s) a heads-up on the status of your contributions, in a timely manner. They might need consider when they need to do anything now, to minimize headaches for anyone.
Well the world is bigger than your view, needs or experience. There are many industrial appliances where plastics is not only cheapest, but also the overall best solution. Same would go for example for medicine.

Can it be fully replaced? Yes, but it will really take quite a bit of effort, or even going back to already phased out tools and materials.
If that's the case they would be extremely short-sighted, as their strategy failed and the game is dead now.

It's basically a hubristic mistake to take "this substance is useful!" as sufficient justification to introduce it as a novelty in huge amounts without considering its whole lifetime flow through the world's cycles, physical and biological.

It comes from thinking of the planet as infinite and able to absorb anything thrown into it, rather than a closed cycle life support system.

Ask HN: About Opensourcerepos-help developers contribute to open source Project
I always faced difficulty when contributing to open source repositories. It would take time to read the codebase, understand the architecture and best practices.

So I decided to create a blog+github(and gitlab) integration site, so that developers who regularly contribute to open source repositories can write blog and explain the best practices, code walkthrough and architecture of their site. Here is the mission statement of opensourcerepos.com. https://opensourcerepos.com/app/about

Can you guys let me know if you would find the site useful?

You know there may be other patients needs here, I recall being woken up on the higher risk renal ward, the nurses apologized but they needed to move my bed to the other side of the bay as they needed my bay (which had all the kit for monitoring) for an emergency admission.

When you overhear the nurses commenting " its xxxxx he might die in the night - you might think getting woken up is not that important.
How is hoping that whole new species evolve and spread without changing ecosystems even remotely an easy problem?
That’s a bit to far in my opinion. I’m a physician. Now days, if you are admitted to a hospital overnight it implies you are probably pretty ill. We push hard to ensure that only patients that need to be in the hospital are (wasn’t always that way). Sometimes in sick patients, checking vitals is required (to make sure you aren’t dying). Additionally, there is evidence that hourly rounding prevents some bad outcomes like patient falls. So ‘well-meaning’ institutions like mine, mandate hourly rounding by nursing staff.

Now is this absurd in some patients, yes! In very elderly patients this may do more harm than good by causing delirium, which can be deadly...

Personally, I go out of my way to not wake anyone up, but that’s often not an option in some situations.

But to say it is doctor or nursing arrogance is to not really understand healthcare.

Oakland 2nd US city to legalize magic mushrooms
This is an odd piece of nostalgia, unfortunately representative of a genre. The Apollo program grew directly out of a panic about nuclear weapons, and the technological race to build rockets that could rain those weapons down on an adversary on the other side of the planet. No nuclear bomb, no Apollo.

The same geopolitical conflict that produced the space race also gave us the war in Vietnam, which in turn made the expense of ongoing lunar exploration unappealing (the war cost about 4x as much as the Apollo program) after the prestige milestone of landing on the moon was completed.

The space program was a fluke of history. We had a frightening new weapon that gave an overwhelming advantage to the side that could develop orbital rockets, a rough balance of power, and a natural satellite just close enough to get to without having to learn to assemble stuff in orbit.

Unfortunately, all the other destinations in space are far away (it's called space for a reason!) and sending primates to those places is expensive and hard. There's also no reason to do it (given advances in robotics and autonomous systems) unless you subscribe to a kind of cultish belief in humanity's manifest destiny to become an interplanetary civilization.

If there had been an intermediate destination between the Moon and Mars for us to work towards after Apollo, things might have gone differently, but you work with the Solar System you're dealt.

> if they really wanted. They just don't want

The premise of working for cash is that no-one really wants to do it, which is why you need to give people money in exchange for the work.

So if they don't want to work, and they are entirely self funded, good for them! It's their "fault" and I'm happy for them.

But if they have enough cash flow only because of the current Australian franking credit setup (it no longer merely prevents double taxation, it's a subsidy for investors), tax breaks on Superannuation, and so on, then it's the Government's fault for incorrectly calibrating the benefits in such a way that tax payers end up paying people to be unproductive.

I am doing my PhD in Netherlands after studying in Belgium. I also worked in USA for a few years as a software engineer. Work culture is more relaxed in EU. My wife is allowed to work here from day of her arrival even though I am a PhD student. Even on a single salary we were able to travel around Europe. I had the option to study in USA for my PhD. Looking at the current situation, I am very happy with my decision to stay in Europe. Public transport is great, language is not a problem in big cities, and food/wine/beer/cheese is amazing.
Electric cars still need power - hopefully wind and solar, but most likely also nuclear, and fossil. If one would be to calculate the pollution cost of creating materials to build all the new power sources (wind, solar, nuclear) to support nearly 100% electric mobility, I wonder how it stands against current fossil-powered transportation.
The obvious question is - has the data been adjusted for the fact that people now live longer, otherwise the conclusion is not very useful.

The true cost of plastic is cheaper by far than aluminum or other alternatives. Injection molding and other plastic technologies are miraculously productive and energy efficient compared to many other forms of production.

The U.S. produces 12,000,000 barrels of oil per day. 4,380,000 barrels per year. According to https://cleantechnica.com/2017/10/14/u-s-tax-code-4-6-billio..., we also subsidise this production by $4B per year, or about a dollar a barrel.

If you are saying that a $1 per barrel subsidy for oil causes the cost of plastic widgets to shrink appreciably, I think you are very wrong.

If you are saying that the total cost of the Iraq war should be rolled into the cost of plastic widgets, I think you are very wrong.
The government’s primarily, but theirs too because they are the govt., or at least their cohort, friends and neighbours.

The proper thing to do is raise the retirement age to 75, reflecting gains in longevity and economic reality. Other options include some form of part-time mandatory volunteering component to earn the govt. portion of the pension.

However we do it, we are breaking a promise, if you will, that society made to these people when they entered the work force, in that if they endure the indignities and inequities of a salary/wage position for 35 years, then they have earned the freedom to spend the remainder of their time as they see fit.

> Also, kids don't seem to like books anymore ;-)

I know you're kidding about this, but just incase, you can make kids love books by limiting their options. They will always gravitate towards less effort/more fun, so if you're firm on things like screen time, play time, reading time, and only make available to them what they're allowed (e.g., books during reading time), they will eventually have no choice but to find joy in them.

This has worked very well with my two kids. I usually give them two options, e.g, you can either read or code, or you can draw or write, video games or youtube, which helps if things feel too rigid sometimes.

Sounds right. I’ll add (as in another comment) that nursing hourly rounds is mandated by my institution. Personally i go out of my way to avoid waking you up, but it’s not a hotel and if I’m even a little bit worried about your trajectory, I won’t hesitate to wake you up.

When I first tried to switch to from Chrome to Firefox, I got frustrated by the different approaches to user profiles, but multi-containers fixed it for me.

Chrome makes it easy to switch profiles/accounts with the account button in the top right, but Firefox profile management is clunky. You have to choose on startup and can’t launch a window with a different profile from the browser itself.

Next time I tried, I found Multi-containers! It’s EXACTLY what I was trying to do with Chrome Profiles (isolate cookies per persona) and it improves on Chrome in a couple ways:

- lighter than Chrome profiles, very fast to create new containers

- Not tied to a google account

- multiple containers in the same window

- Domain-specific rules make sure you don’t cross-contaminate containers accidentally

- Profile stuff like History and bookmarks is shared across containers and securely synced with client side encryption by default.

You can also get a REAL win for privacy by adding the Temporary Containers extension [0]. This lets you create arbitrarily many containers. It defaults to being an option (right click -> open in temp container) but can be set much more aggressively. I have it create a new temporary container every time I move to a new domain. Amazing.

That DOES require some manual configuration to avoid breaking complex products like Office365. I created a huge regex that identifies Office365 domains and triggers a whitelist with less aggressive isolation. Still, not too much more work than running uBlock Origin with 3rd party resources disabled by default.

Electric cars contribute significantly less to climate change, and the degree to which that is true increases as we shift our electric grids more toward renewable sources.

There are certainly issues with the mining of rare earth and other minerals required to build all the batteries, but a) they are not, by and large, carbon issues, and b) there are some promising new battery technologies that would use fewer of these resources coming along within the next decade or so.

Don’t make the mistake of seeing it as a binary thing: electric cars are not perfect, all-natural devices that cause no environmental issues from conception to disposal, but they are, on balance, much better than internal-combustion engines, especially for climate change, which is the really big environmental issue most likely to cause problems for human civilization.
Linux hasn't segfaulted on me in years. Nor has Python C level (except when I use ctypes to use openssl directly). Nor has gcc, emacs or any of the standard shell commands I use. When I worked in a large C shop writing network servers, we all got emailed whenever our code segfaulted with a stack trace. Now our Java servers routinely catch all exceptions and then need to be restarted for some reason when the network glitches. I wouldn't use C for high velocity business logic ("alternating soft and hard layers") but I'd absolutely use it for stuff that needs reliability. I'd use Go now also.
