Except the trap layers are bigger (more money), stronger (good lawyers from that moeny), and there are more of them than you (lots of people and lawyers).

How do you fight that? With a bigger group of people. Since they are so large, that means a nation or state (if you're a big one, as if you're small they probably won't care, that's how big they are).

If there's a pride of man-eating lions roaming about, you don't set out by yourself to fix the problem. That's just an imaginative attempt at suicide. You get a large group of people. That's why regulation is what we need, because that's what it means when you get a really large group of people to impose their will in the modern age.
Tax just makes things more expensive, and is very slow to elicit change.

Taxing plastic bags while grocery shopping just makes your groceries a tiny bit more expensive. If you ban plastic shopping bags altogether they disappear overnight.

update: I agree that trying to define "single-use" is difficult, instead I think governments should just choose an item that has good alternatives and ban them.
I plan on working super hard this winter to be cool about the rain and still enjoy the outdoors up here no matter how wet or miserable it might feel.

And this can be applied to nearly every 'improvement' in all Android releases. Can you name any improvements to AOSP in the past five years? All I see on every their presentation is more and more Google Services, FCM, Assistant, etc.
This seems like the obvious solution. I bet a database of 100,000 products would cover the vast majority of all waste worldwide. If you can make a machine to sort those things into 100,000 (virtual) piles, you can then have a specific way to handle each type of thing.

Each manufacturer of those goods can decide how to handle their "pile", and if they design for recyclability, it's going to be easier and cheaper for them. If they can just say "combine our product with these other products made from the same material" that'll work out cheapest. If their answer is "our product contains a mix of various toxic stuff" then they're going to have to pay for some specialist to handle it... In every location this 'pile' exists in every city...

The only place this system doesn't work is for products that change state significantly during consumer use - for example a candle gets mostly burnt away, but the remaining blobs of wax are probably untracable to the original manufacturer.
While it's definitely important to be aware of what exactly you're getting for your non-money from different JVM vendors, I think that point of view underestimates how many people use LTS versions purely to tick a "we are using supported software versions" box in their corporate bureaucracy's paperwork, and never intend to actually ask for any support at all.
>Racism is hate speech, and hate speech is not a form of protected speech. The only slippery slope to be considered here is 'what is considered hate speech?'. Racism is, unquestionably, hate speech. There is no slippery slope for racist speech. It's already at the bottom of the pit.

And who ultimately decides what is racism and what posts are considered racist? You? Google? Members of a council made up by corporate buddies that obviously act in self-interest?

I think people need to understand the internet is NOT the real world and ultimately it will never be.This is not a defense about the topic at hand, just that it is unreasonable to ask people to behave on the internet as they do in real life. There's no human connection and thus why people behave so cold on it.

I'm waiting until US proposed the bill of rights formalizing "real world rights" into the internet sphere, so that the rest of the civilized world will have to follow. Until then, instead of trying to police the internet, get used to it, and make the proper distinction between the environments of discussion.I'm not saying you can't have a certain level of expectation from discussions on the internet, I'm saying that you will ->never<- be able to police human speech/expression.

Pro tip: Let's assume you succeed in making a perfect "racism-removing" system on the internet or at least on social media platforms. What do you think will happen? What happened before in such situations: more polarization, more 'unseen' channels of communication between "racists", and ultimately even more distancing between people of certain views, like using the internet is not damaging the human relations enough.

US citizens are still lucky for their rights, in Europe during communism (and still today) you can get a criminal record for having a certain speech that is not even hateful, inciting to violence nor "racist".(In the 21st, it happen(s)ed in both EE and WE) This is (ironically enough) precisely because there are even more "forceful tolerance" movements in Europe that are fond of the censorship method.

>Why is that bad? It's not like we're running out of landfill space (at least in the US), and it's not like plastic in a landfill leeches chemicals into the drinking water or something.

Because it's not all going into landfills, it's ending up as litter and giant floating pallets of plastic in the middle of the ocean.

>I don't think anyone was fooled into thinking that plastics were biodegradable.

No, but metal, glass, and paper are all either recyclable or biodegradable or both.

Some species are specifically adapted to either be able to survive frequent brush fires, and some even require them for seedlings.

Douglas-fir trees have very thick, insulative bark that prevents the live tissue from dying as readily when there's fire. Sequoia trees have cones that are glued shut by resins that only melt after a hot-enough fire, so they can then land and germinate in burnt-over ground.

> why should they be on the hook after it leaves their hands? Consumers are using the said products

Consumers aren't typically buying plastic packaging. They're buying whatever the plastic packaging contains.

When regular people buy plastic packaging and throw it away, then yes they are culpable (as in plastic bags and wrap for food storage, which I'll admit that I do use on occasion).

The rest of the time, it's not really the consumer's decision.
The genre is defined by many things.

What specifically, and how large (dollars / plastic item/unit) are these externalites? If you can't describe and quantify them then there isn't an argument for compensating (taxes, bans) against them.

This is a great example of a generational shift in what UX/User Experience/Interface means. A person who's grown up with GUIs and post Web 2.0 interfaces wants to see your screenshots when you talk about UX. Most emacs users want to see the key mappings or talk about magit-style interfaces vs fuzzy tab-completion algorithms.

I don't want to see a screenshot. I want to see a heat map on the keys my left pinkie is responsible for.
I've thought about a similar platform, but as an agricultural robot for smallholding.

If you have a quarter acre, you can have a nice garden, and it's kind of labor intensive but hopefully enjoyable, and you can get some nice food out of it.

With five to ten acres, food security is in reach, and some left over for market. But it's really rather a lot of work, and the tools farmers use to make that work easy are massively oversized for the job, and require you to lay out the land according to the logic of a much larger farm.

A pig-sized arachnid robot, with a vision module and a few replaceable tools for 'mandibles', a replaceable lithium pack for an abdomen: that could bring the amount of work back down to a part-time job.

This is a company, not a project. But backed with open-source software so that the machine learning and supplemental tools can be improved by users, I think it could be quite a successful one, and make the world more robust and anti-fragile.
> Aaron E. Carroll is a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times. He is a professor of pediatrics and associate dean for research mentoring

> Anthony Fauci warned us last week that Covid-19 is likely to be hanging over our lives well into 2021

Anthony Fauci will say and do whatever it takes to keep his face in the media until 2021. I have yet to see him say anything of actual substance. Anthony Fauci needs to stop superspreading fear to the population so he can continue to have podcast conversations with Julia Roberts.

> It’s also about an overwhelmed health care system where so many beds are filled that we can’t get care for the many other conditions people experience

Can anyone show me a single news story from anywhere in the world where this has happened?

> Because of all these unknowns, we will need to continue to be exceedingly careful even as we immunize

No. I'm done living this restricted lifestyle.

> We need to normalize mask-wearing. It’s a tragedy that this has become politicized and that this simple, safe and effective measure is in dispute. It’s about protecting others even more than ourselves. That such an action is now viewed as weakness is horrific.

Clutch those pearls, wring those hands, put everyone into the same basket. There you go.

I view it as nannys such as Aaron E. Carroll and the government telling me how to live when instead they could be telling the vulnerable and scared to mask up and stay inside.

Perhaps Aaron E. Carroll should go back to treating children and perhaps Dr. Fauci should stop superspreading fear, under the guise of safety and concern, for his own gain.

This sounds like a blessing in disguise for Intel. Nvdia trying to compete in the server space effectively means that most of the other companies designing Arm servers will go out of business.
Since Nvdia will not be interested in any of the other market Arm is in, it will be neglected.
If you live in SF, your job market includes non-remote SF jobs. If you live in Idaho, it doesn’t. Therefore your market wage is lower in Idaho even if you are doing the same work. Seems pretty clear-cut to me.
> permutation of a list with exactly one cycle

I'm having trouble parsing the motivation and terminology. When a list has one cycle, does that mean it repeats once? Or is this basically 'i want a random but stable order of events'?
I wonder the same thing. I have not programed a DB but..

I would think the worst thing to program in a gc'd language would be the cache. So, if you write that layer of the database separately in a non-gc'd you would avoid most of the headache.

EDIT: I read the parent comment as why program a db in a gc language. I think the new wave 1st gen db's are doing alot of novel things. Minus the cache I imagine the velocity improvements form the 'simpler' language makes sense. Key value stores are become well trod ground however.
Modern bikes are also not know for terrible safety standards.

It’s not at all my intention to sound cynical or smug, but “normal” for me is a blurry point somewhere in the future, not nearly close enough to 2021.

And while dashing anyone’s hopes is the last thing I’d want to do, I really do worry about what premature optimism is going to result in. I live in the Hudson Valley, and our numbers are pretty low right now. Given how many people are going to bars, gyms, and restaurants—my friends included—I don’t expect that to last.
Is the joke that Rose had been dead for six years and he slowly descended into Alzheimer's because he couldn't bear to be reminded of her loss so he simply willed himself into a disease that would give him some brief respite by making him forget until the cold embrace of death? Because it's pretty funny, if so.
I think the reason is because cost of living adjustments were built into the salaries being offered. It would have been smarter for companies to offer jobs as X + Cost of Living Adjustment = Y. Instead, they just offered a salary of Y. I also think part of it has to do with an expectation of higher productivity when working out of an office or headquarters.
Anecdotally, I know the water outflow from Lake Raystown in Pennsylvania (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raystown_Lake) is SIGNIFICANTLY colder than the lake surface is. I spent a week in the summer there one year and we spent a lot of time boating/swimming in the lake as well as tubing down the river and the days we spent tubing were much warmer air temperature but much colder water temperature.

Edit: I also couldn't find any hard numbers!

Java is better about this than most languages but they still break things sometimes.

For example, in addition to the module system, Java 9 changed the implementation of some of its XML rendering libraries and caused meaningful behavior changes.

https://github.com/CodeFX-org/java-9-wtf has a list of some of the stuff that broke.

That said, 8 -> 9 was the only really painful transition in my experience. Since then the upgrades have been smoother.

It’s true of him regardless, but as someone from Northern Ireland, Chuck Feeney is a freaking hero.

I don’t have much to add that hasn’t been said already, but his donations - right up to the last - have made genuine and lasting differences in the hearts and minds of kids growing up here and I doubt even he knows all the good that’s come of what he did in this place.

I don’t want to ramble on because it’ll end up sounding like a eulogy but he’s done an incredible thing for our people and we’re incredibly grateful for it.

Things keeping me away from Apple Music:

I’m not going to Google for you but I found an online store selling 3M disposable masks out of San Diego in a few minutes. Not that it matters, since you’ve already decided that “everything” in the entire global economy is sold out, and anything that isn’t is probably fake anyway.

I hope you and other people like you take these unprecedented fires as an indication that waiting to buy particle filters until during a fire probably isn’t optimal in the future. Good luck.
> Racism is hate speech, and hate speech is not a form of protected speech.

You mean in the US? If so, which Supreme Court case are you basing this on?

Edit: As dextralt pointed out, I ask not because I expect HN posts to adhere to scientific journal standards, but because that claim is contrary to every Supreme Court decision in recent history, so I have trouble figuring out how you got that idea.

Edit 2: As dextralt's post is now flagged, let me reproduce what they cited:

Hate speech in the United States is not regulated due to the robust right to free speech found in the American Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that hate speech is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment. The most recent Supreme Court case on the issue was in 2017, when the justices unanimously reaffirmed that there is effectively no "hate speech" exception to the free speech rights protected by the First Amendment. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_in_the_United_Stat...

> ‘Dune II seems very old and clunky by today’s standards,’ says Joe. ‘The biggest single thing I should have added to it was the ability to drag-select units to allow a player to issue one order simultaneously to multiple units. Even though that seems like a simple feature, it was the key change that made C&C such a leap ahead of Dune II.’

That's what I was concerned about before I played through one of the three campaigns a few years ago — that the UI would seem unbearable after having played a lot of Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2. I found it actually quite OK after learning the keyboard shortcuts (of the Dos version). What actually ruined it for me and made me not want to play the other campaigns is the poor AI. Easy enemies would have been alright; I'm not that good at RTS games anyway and being able to finish each level on the first try was nice. But the opponents are so exceptionally stupid that it just got boring.

There are a few open source clones of the engine that have online multi-player and some other additional features (such as the standard multi-select). But I'm not aware of one that lets you play the single-player campaigns against a decently fun AI. Waiiit a moment … just found out that I had missed something big: Dune Legacy lets you play the campaigns, not just single-player skirmish, against its improved AIs. I just tried selecting ‘hard’ and (with game speed at maximum) got completely wrecked on the second map. Wonderful!

Dune (the adventureish one), on the other hand, is still a good game in its original form.

Even though this is the same thing as pay cut, it makes more sense to me when described as: company pays you averaged living expenses + extra depending on position. It's in company's interest that you live in a low cost area. It's in your interest to make sure the "extra per position" doesn't go down when you move. As long as both sides are happy here, I don't see an issue.
I think if you are making 200k a year (which you almost certainly are at Stripe) you probably aren't in a position to complain about salary. I don't have much sympathy for someone complaining that instead of making an absurd amount of money in an expensive area, they are now making a slightly less absurd amount of money in a cheap area.
