We used to ship a lot of plastic waste back to China in what would be otherwise empty shipping containers. The movie "Plastic China" shows what the other end of that looks like:

If you can ignore that stuff, though, the history of the rise of plastics is itself actually super fascinating.

Most of those problems have been considered unsolvable for a long time. Recent advanced in artificial hearts and heart assist devices (LVADs) have shown that at least a small fraction of the problems can be solved. For the rest? I'm not even sure if we know if they are solvable or not.
>knowingly giving another person inaccurate information is an act of sabotage.

But I don't know any accurate information.
My instinct here is that master craftspeople need a certain amount of autonomy to do good work, and if they are working for bosses, that requires high trust for the craftspeople on the part of the bosses. That trust was not present either in Fordism nor in the vulgar Soviet imitation of Fordism, but I think it is widespread in Japan. (I have never been inside a Japanese factory, though, so that is hearsay on my part.)

I suggest that perhaps one factor that makes this trust hard to achieve in the US today is the greater misalignment of incentives that comes with making the principal–agent relationship so temporary. But clearly that is not the only situation where trust could be low. I think we can agree that, despite Stakhanovite rhetoric, trust and autonomy was very low for most workers in the USSR, no?

(Also, the USSR did remarkably well at producing products considering the impoverished capital and skill basis it started from, and also considering the destruction of the German invasion. From the October Revolution to Sputnik was only 40 years: in two generations of bloody genocide, from a backward peasant society to world technological leadership.)
Sure, but "forgetting" that the significance level is a 30% effect is at the least misleading. A real 25% increase or decrease would not have been statistically significant.

How often do you replace laptops? We're on a 3-year schedule across the organization, PC or Mac. All leased or covered by some sort of business-class warranty/service plan. It can be slightly annoying, as IT doesn't do any in-house repairs any more, but it mostly works. I thought a 3-year replacement schedule was fairly standard.
I have a PS4, and before Jio, I purposely did not update my games (Witcher3 had a 20GB update). Even after getting a Jio connection, it was too time consuming. And then, I found out I have 3 10GB vouchers! And I usually get more, the more ads I consume.

Also, I think the fact that Samsung's first fix turned out to not fix the issue at all help blow the problem up from embarrassing launch snafu to major fail.
I’m not entirely sure that this was only one way.

Neanderthal mtDNA is fairly rare in humans while nuclear DNA is much more common.
Oddly enough in population with higher percentage of nuclear DNA mtDNA is rarer so it’s not clear which side did the gene transferring.

It could be that there are other reasons behind this for example that Neanderthals and modern human female offsprings were less likely to survive or reproduce than males.

But overall it’s really not clear how the populations mixed and who did more of the pillaging and raping.
The Ethics of Ambiguity was the most important book I’ve ever read to this end. For me, reduce suffering is not the best way to think about it.

Simone De Beauvoir suggests our aim should be to will the freedom of others / increase the autonomy of the many.

Refusal to engage with individuals on subject A (cyber-security) because you disagree on subject B (healthcare in this case) is unfortunate, and possibly a similar level of hypocrisy if one would otherwise posit being open-minded as a general rule.

It's not really fair to compare BiTEs to first gen CAR. Bispecific (or tri/quad specific) CAR have a greatly reduced rate of relapse due to antigen loss (likely what is causing most relapse in these diseases).

Re: BiTEs, it's not clear they'll produce durable cures like CAR does. They're just antibodies, and will eventually be cleared. With CAR, if you can get a response, you can generate memory T-cells and control any relapse far down the road.
Reducing suffering doesn't seem to be a good criterion, because it has a trivial solution of reducing all life. The pain, the process of suffering itself is not bad, it is just a signal that what one wanted to do will not be possible to do. So suffering is just a messenger. A better heuristic for a purpose is to increase the future freedom of action https://www.ted.com/talks/alex_wissner_gross_a_new_equation_...

Because the root cause is smaller than “anything anywhere”, and you can control that scope. Rust gives you tools to deal with this. It is true that if you don’t use those tools, they can’t help you.

You can’t make a convention in C++ in the same way, because the safety aspect is not part of the language. I mean, you can, but it won’t help you the same way Rust will.

The law (which varied by municipality) was enforced against Food Not Bombs pop-up events as well as random people. It wasn't created to stop homeless encampments, trash or needles, because encampments don't just show up wherever someone gives out sandwiches. Homeless encampments happen under bridges, near railways, and other places where they can actually keep their stuff and won't get hassled by the cops.

Almost every other state in America deals with this the "traditional way", by having cops kick their ass until they move somewhere out of public view. Florida (and one or two other states) want to prevent them from coming to the state at all, so they're trying to make it harder to live there.
The scientific justification behind our current age limits are quite limited and the real reason is more based in tradition. For driving in particular, I wonder to what extent it is based off of being able to hold a job. For voting, I wonder what extent it is related to school graduation.

Also, as a side note, generally kids can legally drive at any age as long as it is done on private property and isn't so dangerous it constitutes child endangerment. If you talk to farmers you'll find many stories of kinds driving trucks on the farm when they were under 10.

Even more fun, some states don't have age limits for kids driving on public roads as long as it is farm equipment. Those laws might be one tragedy away from being rewritten, but until then it is an interesting thing to consider when discussing the relationship between legal age limits and our scientific understanding of mental maturity.
Which is really odd that I have never experienced or seen it in the older laptops. Perhaps it's a fairly new thing in the increasingly common thin form factor (Apple or otherwise but I haven't heard much of others).
>Now the Living Standard explicitly notes that <b> isn't necessarily rendered as bold (because it might be overridden by style sheets), by this loosening the connection to typographical appearance.

This is some pretty selective reasoning by the working group considering they don't provide a warning for all other elements (not even <strong> or <em>, which can also be overridden by stylesheets). I could toss a "p { display: none !important; }" into my stylesheet, yet the <p> tag doesn't have a warning that text inside it might not be displayed. Seems like they're grasping for reasons to discourage <b> and <i>.

No they are not. Anyone getting their keyboard replaced gets a new battery. Anyone getting their battery replaced gets a new keyboard/top case.

This is one of the reasons that out-of-warranty repairs for the butterfly keyboards were $700 (before the repair program was launched).
Oh, maybe it's just me that was confused and did not understand your case. Let me fix that: you went to the shop for a diagnosis maybe expecting a simple operation and was told the computer requires unexpectedly expensive repair, so you bought a new one instead? I thought you knew it beforehand since it was old already.

In that case where there is no Apple sanctioned repair presence such shops either usually sell Apple hardware and gladly perform support and diagnosis if that can bring them a sale, or they're nice enough to help you anyway with the diagnosis out of good will (people are generally like that in digitally scarce areas) and will direct you to get a new one at the mall (or, they're dicks and then, screw them).

You have every right to call me an optimist about human behaviour though ;)

I think they are saying that part of the calculation a person makes before committing a crime is what is the likelihood that I am caught or seriously injured. In a society that outlaws citizens having guns the chances of serious injury are much smaller than one where say 20% have a weapon. To the extent that CCTV Cameras increase the likelihood of being caught they have the same deterrent effect of knowing that there is a 20% chance your victim is able to defend themselves.

See also these topics: macro-op fusion, compressed instructions, extensions.

RISC-V publishes (at least for some cores) the preferred order that you have to emit instructions in order for those to be recognized and fused into efficient micro ops. The compressed (C) extension means that instructions don't take up too much extra space in the I-cache.

Of course we don't know -- because very high performance RISC-V chips don't (yet) exist -- if this will really work when the silicon hits the road, but the plan makes some sense and has the (IMHO) large advantage that it keeps the standard small and easy to implement (in those cases where you don't much care about performance).

There are also extensions, which RISC-V formalizes properly. You can with relative ease add your own addsat instruction through a private extension, and (with somewhat more difficulty) propose a public extension if this is generally useful.
True, good regulation is what is necessary. We need to get rid of the notion that the government never does anything right. It's simply not true and it's harmful.
>why can they drive at 16

Because it's needed in most places in order to be a functional adult and giving late teenagers the legal means to have useful personal mobility is beneficial to society. States used to allow kids to drive at like 12 and 14 and it really wasn't that big a deal since most of them didn't anyway. It's not like a 12yo needs to drive to work. It's not like most parents would trust their 12yo with a car anyway.

>and vote at 18?

Because that's the age for the draft and if you're old enough to be drafted (very different from volunteering) then you should have some say in the politicians who are starting the war.

Unrelated to these two points, being a functioning adult (or at least enough of one to drive and vote responsibly) has much more to do with having experience trying to be a functional adult and experiencing the consequences if/when you fail at it than it does with whether you're 16 or 21. Obviously the 16yos are gonna have a slightly worse time of it but a normal 16yo is basically the same as a dumb 21yo and we let dumb 21yos do everything.

If it were up to me you'd get all the normal adult stuff (drink, smoke, open a bank account with only your name on it, etc.) by 16/17 and then vote at 25 because the people who run government have such an outsize impact on society in the long term that you should probably have some adulting experience before you get to have a say in that kind of thing.
"[Ineligible because our] records show that your device has already been serviced ..."

Cool, thanks Apple. Glad I got to pay like $700 for this when my 2015 MBP was overheating so much last year that the battery swelled and broke the motherboard. I just did a quick live-chat with one of the tech support people... no chance for a refund on the work I had done 8 months ago to replace the battery and repair damage it caused. It really sucks that people who proactively dealt with this can't get compensated for what is now acknowledged as a manufacturing flaw.
I'm not sure there is a strict definition of species. Take a ring species where A and B can interbreed and B and C can interbreed but A and C cannot. If some event kills all the B's, then you have two species instead of one. That you can make new species by killing only seems quite odd.
Ecuador judge frees Ola Bini; probe continues
I understand you, and when I wrote the first post I was thinking on regular things, things that are (more or less) used by everybody on a regular basis. I understand that many exceptions are possible, many niche markets, many specific situations.

I'm just complaining that while we have many discussion on where to dump electronic garbage, how to protect landfills from heavy metals, how to avoid so many mili- micro- nano- plastic fragments from being ingested with tap water... we also consider that programmed obsolescense is just business pratice. Not being able to repair something is ok to protect business, prevent terrorists and protect children. And in the end it's even consumer fault, because we could buy things that aren't disposable. And when we spend $300 on a printer, instead of $50, everybody assumption is that at first you bought the cheaper option. And that even $300 is the cheaper, you should have spent $500.

Then everybody complains that someone else should do something concious about environment, and everybody forgets that "everybody should do something" is exactly why governments exists, are elected and legislate. Because government shouldn't be more than "everybody".
California's problems are the result of years of zoning codes not allowing needed building. (prop 13 doesn't help either) This is simple supply and demand, when you don't allow supply to change (building more suburbs on the outskirts does not count - distance becomes a factor)

(Note, between the time I wrote the earlier comment and this I discovered new information on California's homeless situation - shelters near me the homeless are either mentally ill or victims of domestic violence - the first are forever a problem and the latter will be out in a couple weeks)

It is not a coincidence that politicians have developed this ardently simplist sensibility at a time when complexity is growing. Voters are simplists too.

The article is jarring, as it seemingly describes the Dunning-Kruger Effect interspersed with other related cognitive biases, which are generally applicable to the society as a whole; which then is contrasted with the mile-wide-inch-deep philosophy of politicians, to segue into the hook of 'Simplism'. The vague 'elephant in the room, suggests that there will be more bull in the shop' type of writing is devoid of any incisive views. There is no identification of the group that are most accused of being simpletons, nor is there any real explanation of how/why they came into existence. Whilst politicians are dismissed by the virtue of having mysteriously acquired a new skill-set, even though it is their trade-craft to deliver platitudes, repeat meaningless slogans, spout ambiguous words, peddle fallacies, twist statistics, promise bottled unicorn farts etc.

I think it’s a case of the road to hell being paved with good intentions. Plastic straws, to me, resemble ideas you’d expect from pre college students. It offers high visibility but delivers low impact on what it tries to achieve. I typically see this coming from progressive candidates (rather than moderates), so I doubt this is misdirection, but opportunistically doing something they think their core constituency will identify with.
If you want to know wheter it was found "in the wild" and think that this is a relevant factor in deciding if you should care, that is information enough about your usage to be confident it is wrong.
