As it stands, I understand the research as eventually crude oil will run out. For the most part, afaik, our plastics are a useful byproduct of our oil consumption for fuel that would otherwise be more landfill waste. It's best to make reusable and long term use plastics from that material.

As to plastics from plant sources, it seems that a lot of what we do use for disposable containers and packaging are a better fit for those sources considering how well they break down. Of course, this all assumes that proper landfills are used and it isn't just shipped out of the country of use.
Meh, if Major League Baseball gets a special anti-trust exemption, I think the newspapers are at least as deserving. A vigorous free press is a rare and valuable thing, and we'd be fools to give that up in favour of Googbook-bait listicles.
You’re right, otherwise we’d all be powering our cars with with zero point energy reactors.

Clearly feasibility has a big part to play as well and everyone driving around little fission reactors would be ridiculously impractical from both an engineering standpoint, as well as a safety one too. Not to mention it becoming a terrorists wet dream because of all the waste material. (Not that I’m normally one to play the “terrorist” card)

They should change their business plan. It's clearly not working anymore. Most newspapers in my country are basically dead and kept alive by government's money, ie, tax money.

Thanks for telling me about it! I'll sure give it a look.
Honestly, the best way to do this is to just pay an attorney who specializes in it. They will just tell you what you're agreeing to, and you can actually believe them since they are your attorney. It's not cheap, but not too expensive on the scale of a real estate transaction.
I was searching for words to express why people may find FizzBuzz antagonistic...

People make mistakes on everything,[1] no matter how trivial. Therefore, it can be threatening to even a genuinely competent person to be judged on a really elementary task, because even though it is simple to do, the margin for error is correspondingly small. The easier it is, the less excuse for any hiccup.

Of course, you just said you are not judging on minor issues, but it's hard to believe even assuming your best intentions. The simpler a task, the more judgmental human nature compels one to be, and the more confirmation bias will work to magnify any later errors.

Using a similar pattern (tickets I guess) doesn’t mean you’re reinventing something.

You might equally say we’re reinventing “authenticated sessions”. More in common with jwt cookies tbh.

We don’t want to run krb infrastructure so we don’t do that.

The runtime dependency on ldap or NIS, plus keeping krb itself HA, fed and happy plus OS dependent PAM setup make krb fairly undesirable in a production cloud environment if ssh certs and kube certs would suffice.

AFAIK the new proposal allows dynamic filtering, which addresses the primary concern with adblocking tools like uBlock, I believe.

> The Declarative Net Request API now allows for the registration and removal of dynamic rules - specified at runtime rather than statically in the manifest. We’ve also added the capability to remove common tracking headers, such as Referer, Cookie, and Set-Cookie.

My opinion though is that if you were going to switch over this, just switch anyway.
We have seen a significant long-term R&D investment but all the nice rotary engines are in prop planes.

Edit: since you mention a ship, some use large opposed-pistol Diesel engines (two oppositely meeting pistons around the combustion chamber per cylinder which also allows the cylinder to be much wider)... don’t see these in either planes or cars... Hydrogen power?—- Hydrogen is difficult to keep contained because it escapes through anything over time unless we put heavy ceramic tanks in our cars.
Maybe it could work for a non profit, but the medical world has so many methods they start exploring but find are unfruitful (with many thousands to hundreds of millions invested). You essentially have to make boatloads of money on some products over a long time frame to continue the research and development efforts.
I've been a Chrome user since 2011. I recently switched to Firefox and I got comfortable instantly. It was the case back in the day that Chrome was super blazing fast. No more. Firefox is amazing, fast and there are few things that still annoy me but they'r minor compared to the philosophical issues I have with using Chrome. Fuck AdTech and fuck Google.

I've also completely switched from GMail after 15 years. I remember signing up for GMail when it was in beta. Now I have a free iCloud email and it works just fine. Plus, Apple is about the only company that I can even begin to trust.

A number of emails sent and received from one email address and to one email address through a GoDaddy Office 365 email account have been questioned as to the authenticity (whether they have been spoofed).

Apple is better about clarity (or, being dogmatic if you prefer that view).

You are right, MSFT has done a great job, but they made enough of a mess in the '00's that they kicked out their CEO and put in Nadella.

Thankfully, Nadella seems to understand the importance of making things clear to make things simple for people. I hope to see that continue. Microsoft of the 90's still seems a long time ago (but sure looks like Apple today!)

Developer quality of MSFT in the 90's and AAPL today is probably a wash (except for that everyone has been around computers for years now - that wasn't true in the 90's).

The reason Obama didn't do anything isn't that he's not that worked up over racism, it's just not as simple as waving your hand and saying everything would be great if it only for those racist laws.

Families are often willing to support draconian measures so that their kids aren't endangered by some random stranger in some drug induced state of manic paranoia.

Victims of drug crime should have a voice too.
This wouldn't work with a standard React project though, right? Because you still need to transpile JSX. You could use the development version of React, I guess, which is slower, but can understand JSX, but that's not something you want to ship.

I'd love to use something like this for teaching, tutorials, and even small projects, but there's some things I still need a transpiler for.

I also realize I could use the `htm` package instead of JSX, which gives a lot of benefits over JSX, including not requiring transpiling, but, since it's not widely used by the wider ecosystem, I'd be a little hesitant to include it in my projects.
Lessons from the Early Days of Semiconductors
I think there's actually a few reasons why they are investing.

1) it makes them look like they care about green earth stuff, not saying they don't, but the marketing image is priceless.

2) it's potentially valuable IP that can be licensed to other companies, even where it doesn't work for lego, it might be a great fit more broadly.

3) Having it wear down more quickly means more responsible waste, also it ensures the product may instead of lasting decades, only last a few years.

4) Eventually crude oil will run out, and even before that will get much more costly to use as source material.

Can someone elaborate on the Annuity provision in the SECURE act the author is referencing?

“And Congress is batting around the SECURE Act, a cheekily named effort to allow the half of all Americans who are eligible for employer-offered 401(k) plans to potentially lose those retirement funds when their employer, under this act, becomes legally able to offer sketchy annuities as part of those plans. “

The way the author writes it is that your employer can essentially confiscate your 401K and repurpose the funds towards a ‘sketchy annuity’. That obviously can’t be right, right?

The reasoning about only allowing additive permission is something I've had pretty strong opinions, and it's nice to see that other people agree with this. Permissions gets incredibly complicated very fast even in the best case, and any additional complexity can easily confuse users.

Their use case feels a bit too micro-managed for my taste, but that is certainly a matter of opinion. And if their customers demand this, it's hard to convince them otherwise. My preference is to handle certain more subtle cases like their "only DNA design team can edit sequences, but Research team can edit metadata" as a convention, not a hard rule enforced by the application. And if you have a good history of changes, it still allows for transparency about who edited what.
> If they can learn by observing humans, without the humans specifically intending it, then what's so different, or unethical, if it's done with intent?

I think this might interfere with some research involving the gorillas. You cannot study their natural behaviors if you are assisting them. Not to say there isn't research teams looking to train gorillas, my point is that may not be THEIR focus. While they cannot control for poachers, they can control for them own interactions. Furthermore, not to slippery slope, but to what end do you believe they should be allowed to interfere? If, say, a diseased food source begins to decimate the group that could be prevented through cooking, should the researchers attempt to teach them how to cook the food source to kill the bacteria?

Battery durability has to do with the battery management system itself as much as it is about the chemistry. Consumer devices did and still do stop holding a usable charge because they batteries on portable devices are deep cycled 100%-0% (Or near zero) on a regular basis. This greatly reduces a battery's lifespan.

A properly managed car battery won't be kept at 100% charge level, and will definitely not be discharged down to 0%.

Car HV batteries are kept at 80-40% (Varies by chemistry) state of charge to prolong battery life. A Prius can go hundreds of thousands of miles on their original battery, and have been around for over 20 years.

"Six months into my first job I was told to write a distributed data entry system that was going to be used to create a new department in the company. I had to sink or swim by myself - this was over two decades ago."

This seems to not jibe with the rest of your comment. You were defending not giving someone a chance to dive in, and then you say you had to learn to swim on your own.

Now, perhaps your point is that such a person should have the humility to classify themselves as something less than a senior developer, and then get that experience similar to you.

However, I wonder if the issue is that anybody with more than a couple years of experience is considered to be a pariah if they aren't a senior developer, which goes hand in hand with everybody inflating their experience in a vicious cycle.
My brother-in-law, father of three girls, said going from 2 kids to 3 in a two parent family means you have to go from planning man-to-man defense to zone. At least one kid is never getting at least one parent's full attention at any given time, so now you need to triage and prioritize the greatest parenting need at any given time.
Wow that would be a huge loss, I think the last reallocation was the 1.25m band. This would affect things world wide so it's not a surprise why Thales group would want to scoop it up.
Pragmatically, it does. I don't want to be forced to "get off the Chrome pony" right now as Chrome still is notably faster than Firefox on my computers (which are 5 and 8 years old but still do the job). If the next version of Chrome is the one that is going to break compatibility with extensions I use I'm just going to disable updates and this will give me at least a year - many people use even more outdated browsers are okay.
It can only happen where there is real entrenched power and companies do not have to be competitive.

Most 'private companies' are not at the scale where they have that.

I would imagine that 'Healthcare' is rife with this kind of thing, they are cash flush, and the outcomes are intangible but existential (like defence).

I can't imagine people playing solitaire at any kind of Health insurer etc. but I can certainly imagine them spending gazillions on boondoggles.

I have a family member who does 'BD' for Health Care, I'm certain from years of chats with her that she does nothing. Meets, plans, talks about possible future plans with other corps, they never work out. Looks into 'strategic initiatives' that are secondary and irrelevant. She's paid handsomely. And she's pretty smart, great communicator, certainly not a 'solitaire player' ... but about as efficient. And FYI I'm aware of how even 'good' BD works, and that it's mostly 'misses'.
My bank likes to disable my credit card for fraud each month when I make the same exact <10$ international transaction to the same exact company.

After months of this and a half an hour on the phone they told me I could just lift the auto-ban for the particular country so that I wouldn't have to spend half an hour on hold every single month for a recurring payment.

I said sure, and I was told to just send an email saying I approved of this just to confirm. The representative quickly tried to end the call after that, and I had to make her back up and explain exactly what I was confirming. She wouldn't just come out with it plainly, saying it was a simple lift of the ban for that country.

After enough prodding, she spilled that my confirmation meant that any transaction coming from that country would be considered pre-approved and not eligible for fraud prevention. I would be stuck with whatever charge came from anywhere an entire country, with no way to fight it.

She got angry with me for having a problem with this and caught an attitude, saying that it was unusual for people to either want to make international transactions at all or for them to care if they pre-approved an entire country for all payments. She couldn't understand what was wrong with this.

As far as I know... that's not even legal?
I wonder, given the rising popularity of atheism, how many of the people described in the study fall under the unthinking atheist, in the same way someone raised by Christians or in Christian peer-groups can easily become Christian without conscience thought? It stands to reason that as it gains in popularity, atheism would appear more like the general population. I feel like the ‘convinced, dogmatic atheists’ is a group that's become the minority.
This is fairly common for extensions to be on Chrome/Firefox but not Safari, unfortunately. Firefox's WebExtension APIs are mostly code-compatible with the extension API supported by Google Chrome and Opera, with a few exceptions [1].

Safari uses its own Safari Extensions JS, so while it may be possible to share some resources (e.g. images, HTML content), the js work needs to be undertaken as a separate development project, unless you use/build a polyfill.

"We have to go soon, we have enough time for you to go down the slide about 10 more times."

Both you and the OP are right. Phrasing like this example though should help. This way it's not you restricting the kid, and there's no hard requirement.

If they try to drag it out, you tell the kid that they had the time; it was their choice to take longer than usual to go down the slide those last few times.

That explaination also helps them realize that they can choose to either make the best of a situation or the worst of a situation, but the situation will happen regardless (the time limit).
It is not implemented, and ad blocking still works. Also they recently announced more changes to the proposal. To be fair they have some good reasons to change existing api. World is not ending yet.
