PET being a 100% recyclable outlier and much of plastics use being inherently unrecyclable aren't necessarily contradictory.

Open questions would be: how much use can be replaced with recyclable variants on the application side? (perhaps some use cases are not doable with PET?) How much use can be replaced on the supply side? (can only a fraction of the crude extracted from the ground enter that PET cycle or does a percentage of the extracted mass have to become other kinds of plastics that are inherently unrecyclable?)

And as long as any of those questions stay answered "not all" and we are still burning some of the extracted crude for energy: how much efficiency does that energy conversion lose when the crude takes a detour as un-recyclable plastics application between getting extracted from the ground and ending up in the atmosphere after burning? If that efficiency loss is small, un-recyclable plastics use can be environmentally cheap if it happens within the envelope of unavoidable energy use and vice versa.

Model y Performance owner, maybe because most of the “aggressive” ICE German cars are slower compared to model Y which is still SUV with big trunk etc ? Whenever I get into German car I feel like I’m in 80s, so many obsolete details . I like minimalism . I want my car drive fast , with good sound , easy to load stuff. Electric car is so much better for daily commute .
That was their story, but apparently it can’t actually compete with pro monitors.

As a developer in non-tech enterprise, my biggest dream is probably swift being capable of targeting web and android.

We don’t have the resources to currently target all three platforms, and we don’t have much hope for google frameworks as they tend to be changed/abandoned faster than we can afford to adopt them, and we can’t really rely on Facebook tech too much because of corporate ethics (I know it don’t make much sense, but it’s non-tech enterprise, this is probably the least weird ethics rule).

I mean, it doesn’t really have to be swift, it could be python, .net or kotlin, for all I care, but it’s probably more likely to be swift.

What is your opinion on the investigation by the FBI about the person who impersonated an FBI officer on Twitter, then? Should people be allowed to call themselves FBI officers?
I'm not too knowledgeable on the process of glass manufacturing, but I know glass takes a pretty high temperature to melt. Mega operations needed for mass manufacture might be different, but smaller scale ones usually heat things up in furnaces burning at thousands of degrees.

Not too hard to get that heat by burning fuel, but through wind power? Not sure how it'll be done.

Not dismissing it. I just really don't know.
EV is better for daily commute , charge at home , always full tank , so you DONT need to search for a charger/gas station at all. I used Public charger 4 times since I bought the car . You don’t need to change oil , warm up the car etc .

Calling a blown off roof a cosmetic issue tells a lot about your expectations on car quality.
The thing is, I've never found this to be a huge issues in lisps: partly because plenty of languages have libraries that are essentially the same sort of thing, but less ergonomic: Spring/Hibernate in Java, Spark and the various FP stuff in Scala, Ruby on Rails, React. Any sufficiently complex library is essentially an embedded language that must be learned in addition to the base language: the cost of learning a language made out of macros isn't much different from learning a library with a large API surface area.

In fact, since macros reduce the noise in the "language" a library implements, I've generally found that macro-based libraries are somewhat easier to learn than libraries in other languages.
There are ways to re-sequester plastic in landfills that won't lead to that - Generally even poorly managed landfull will be a better option than the same amount of plastic sitting around in the general environment breaking down rapidly in the presence of UV and heat, not to mention the damage it does to wildlife.

Landfill isn't a perfect solution for plastic waste, especially if it isn't well managed. But it is, on the balance of factors, one of the better options available to us currently.
I live in germany and can confirm that Jets go supersonic there. Live near both a US and german air force base and both sometimes go supersonic, more often it's the german air force to go after an unresponsive plane, probably about once every few months or so.
if somebody "anonymously" taped banners and posters on the street espousing messages, would it make sense to have a camera record every public space and identify who placed those banners there?
Yep. At least in Europe it's standard for many or even most restaurants to go bankrupt every couple of years to get rid of debt, and start again in the same pace soon after.

The fact that half the restaurants are closing doesn't mean there isn't demand for those restaurants and employees after the pandemic.

Being a kid in a culture goes a long way in forming how you speak. Your language is an expression of your culture. So much of my personality, how I speak, words I use, etc has been formed by what I watched and listened to growing up. By the time you're 20, it's past the time to form that same experience. The difference between this speaker and someone who has learned to speak perfect English in their 20's is that the former shapes the language as it continues to evolve while the latter simply learns (though that's not to say that late learners don't shape language.)
Does your company really need to do SSL inspection or are they doing it just because they can? My experience of working in places that do that is that it encourages poor security practices because people end up being too lazy to install the root certificates in their software or can't work out how and end up just disabling certificate checking entirely
> Eg Americans today smoke a lot less tobacco and drink less coffee too. Education works!

Are there any scientific facts which would back this?

To me it feels like there have been several other causes to that which were much more relevant. Not allowing people to smoke inside, vaping and smoking getting "out of fashion" were much more successful.

It's just not cool anymore and those who still want to smoke are being confined to disgusting places to do it. Soo...it kinda works against your argument because it was a bad example. The only thing we may take away from it would be that if we'd have made smoking tobacco illegal everywhere, it would have remained cool to do so secretly...maybe.

The problem with alternative sites like these is that these do not try to be their own thing and instead focus on being an "anti-reddit". Which - given how political reddit is - already resulted in creating a site that you describe. It's called Voat and it's dominated with right-wing politics and consipracy theories and it is pretty much unusable for anything else. There's not a single community on Voat that is worth suffering through pages of political nonsense. Gab has the exact same issue.

The problem is not that reddit doesn't allow free speech, the problem is that these sites became the front of war for people who live and breathe real-world politics. That type of content seems to dominate everything else on these websites and turns off people who just want a nice little community to discuss their niche hobby.

I believe the next reddit won't be a site that advertises itself for allowing free speech; I think it will be one that bans real-world politics and does it's best to keep it this way.

Yes, I'm aware of the criticism and it might be that only a few of his speculations find ground in reality, or even none at all. Still, these dismissals are unfair and rouhghly equivalent to saying that for example, Darwin's "Origin of the Species" boils down to "life-forms are groovy".
Same here. Though the Google properties are sloooooow in Firefox - if this is not abuse of power then I don't know what is.
yeah if you actually believed banning cigarettes instead of shutting down the economy would have saved more lives instead of just saying that as an exaggerated literary device aka hyperbole then thats way worse

Optics allow us to do something like this:

import optics.for as o_for
o_for company.staff.pets as (.{pet}, optics.parentNode as owner) where (pet.type == "cat"):
print "{.name|%s} belongs to {owner.name|%s}")

We're guaranteed to be safe against null values in company and staff and pets – we don't have to think about it – and no "for" or "if" is required for walking down the structure. Also the types of pet and owner are completely certain, and we can give verified compile-time guarantees that the string we're populating is 100% correct to match the input.

This is the very simplest use of optics. Optics also allow us to do express wild things over those structures, such as selecting nodes based on some defined statistical relationship to the statistics of defined parts of the whole structure. It's as simple and concise as the example above. And as efficient as possible.

Remember how much trouble Tesla had getting the Model 3 production line going. They were operating out of a tent next to the plant at one point. Of course they have build quality problems.

Musk's solution to Tesla being unable to make "Full Self Driving" work is to redefine "Full Self Driving" as a slightly better driver assistance system and blame regulators.[1]

Can you get dental implants if you have bad gums?
Bad gums can be a serious issue. It is better to first get relief from your bad gums. Get good medication, proper precautions given by the dentist and avoid all the bad things that affect your gums. Only after the treatment, the dentist will tell whether it is fine to have dental implants or not. https://stoneybrook.dental/crowns/
I'm pretty sure that a fair number of commonly used QR libraries were not developed by people who shelled out for a copy of ISO 18004 (they probably just looked at descriptions of how it works outside of the standard document). Similarly, you can implement your own SQL dialect without needing to read the ISO standard for it.

Yes if you want to be certified and want to get a copy of the standards document you'll need to pay, but it's not necessary (and I doubt that Oracle did, given that they implemented SQL before the standard existed and probably were involved in drafting it).
Browser extension ad blockers block requests before they are made which does save bandwidth. This still has nothing to do with QUIC.

I'm suspecting that that billion in large part included people at severe hardships. Although to be fair a lot of them would have super hard time affording a one way plane ticket to the US, as they live on roughly dollar a day.
Separating plastic has also the effect of better burning waste. That is because they can control the burning / heat with controlled injection of isolating plastic waste which hast a specified / stable thermal energy in contrast to mixed waste.
> "analyzed much better" and "neat safety guarantees"

Ah - how about if we add "by the compiler": They can be analyzed much better by the compiler, and we get neat safety guarantees by the compiler.

> Is my code hard to analyze or unsafe?

Not for a human, no :) But optics allow us to drop some boilerplate, retain all flexibility, and also allow the compiler to do a deeper analysis so we can compose computational patterns. That composition composes, so as we build more complex things we have tools with us to help navigate them.
Isn't the bulk of today's commonplace technology previously something only the the rich could afford?
How does poorly discarded plastic waste contribute to climate change? In fact, plastic is anti-climate change because the weight of it is much less than producing and transporting glass.

I don't think there are any safety issues with the suspension of the Model 3. Check our the teardowns by Sandy Munro. He is not shy of critisizing Tesla, but had nothing bad to say about the suspension.

The suspension is the one part in a car, which is easily inspectable by just looking at it. And which has not changed much over time. Any competent mechanic should be able to check it. If there were fundamental issues with Tesla suspensions, the net would be full of reports about it and of course authorities would have acted, but beyond that one crusader against Tesla, no one has claimed they are unsafe. Actually, by most accounts, the Model 3 is one of the safest cars you can buy.

However, the suspension of any car is a vital part that is exposed to the outside and exposed to wear constantly. While most electric cars don't require much maintenance - Tesla does not have a maintenance plan any more - the brakes and suspension I would have checked by a mechanic at least biyearly, as this is a very important mechanical part you want to be serviced before there is a failure.
this just isnt true though. there are some plastics like thermoset plastics that are fairly valuable commodities and are worth recycling. there are many plants making money off shredding, sorting and extruding into little granules that can be used for things like injection molding. not to mention that recycling e-waste is another very profitable and useful activity. copper wire alone is a complete no-brainer. penn and teller were definitely not spot on.

I wouldn't describe the model Y as fun to drive. It's comfortable and spacious but it's nowhere near a sportscar.

You should compare it to a BMW X6 or 6 GT, both of which are also not sportscars but still on the sporty end of the SUV like spectrum.

If you want to compare a fun to drive Tesla with a BMW I would take the Model S and the M5, both are large comfortable saloons designed to be fast.
In Europe, especially in the cities it is much more common to rent and generally you aren't allowed to drill into the walls etc.

Drugs are perceived as an assault on the idea of free will itself, which is fundamental to many "red state" politicial philosophies (including free market and religion).

Drugs challenge free will through addiction as well as influence on behavior ("under the influence").

Marijuana just got swept up in that whole idea, and ended up polarizing like everything else.

But even the most hardcore libertarian would hesitate to say it should be legal for 14 year olds to get meth or fentanyl at the corner store.

There's a big difference between illegal and "war on drugs"-illegal, though. Most small-government types would probably agree once you point out the kind of government apparatus that's built up around the war on drugs.

Increase tax on alcohol then, disincentivize its use. It's far worse for the health, and it can be deadly. It's a travesty that alcohol is more socially acceptable, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to the day when I can buy MJ in bulk at Costco, and pay for it with my credit card.
That's because it's replicating the behavior of the update function. Again | doesn't mean or, so it shouldn't be expected to behave the same.

Actually, I'm generally pro-freedom where there is no obvious victim. But that's not true in this case. The way I see it is you can suffer the more modest loss of freedom of mask wearing now. Or you can ignore that and have lockdowns imposed on you later.

>Unfortunately, masks became a political issue here in a way that probably had nothing to do with those dumb CDC press releases.

You want to believe that, but I think in your heart you know that is not true. Those messages seeped into the public consciousness. I'd be astonished if they're not being cited by MAGA et al against you now.

Generally, if you treat people like children, like the CDC did, they won't respond by behaving like adults.

Note that limiting hyper targeting is very different from banning all political ads, as GP was suggesting, and as Twitter has done (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/30/technology/twitter-politi...). Even then, I don't think it's a good approach. I'd observe that you can do hyper targeting via snail mail, door-to-door campaigning, phone calls, and SMS. Also, this is still a type of policy that assumes people need to be shielded from speech, and that they aren't able to make good decisions without guidance from FB moderators.

Personally, I think disclosure is the best policy. For example, make it easy to find all the ads a particular politician or group has posted. FB has already implemented a many things in that area.
Often they don't, or they offer support like Wordpress. Drupal, etc,
This is how C++ compilers used to work before templates came into the picture.

For example Borland's BIDS 1.0 in Borland C++ for MS-DOS, it was based on the C pre-processor, as you would define a set of macros and then include the desired type, something like

#define LIST_T int
#include <bids/list.h>

#define LIST_T float
#include <bids/list.h>

and so on, however when BIDS 2.0 was released, there was already primitive support for the ongoing ISO discussions and it was rewritten to use templates.

To be fair, Go generics seem to be finally on their way to be adopted into the language.
GLA45. Which yes, is nothing more than a fancy A class, so some excuses I've heard were "well, it's a 'cheap' AMG, what were you expecting". I don't know what was I expecting, maybe only that a £55k car won't have crappy plastics everywhere that creak every time you go over any bump.

Having said that - I've spent enough time on AMG forums to know that the same problem exists even if you buy a C63 or E63, the build quality of the interior just isn't great(while the mechanical engineering arguably is, those cars are very reliable when it comes to the actual mechanical bits)
It's also important to be precise. No, not the App dropped 16000 results. The automation process that gathered the results into an Excel Workbook used the old XLS Format which has this limit and quietly fails when it is exceeded.

So while we can all joke about using Excel as a database this one's really on Microsoft.
