Tire rubber shedding has been much reduced as tire life has increased. Look at old highway pictures from the 1950s and 1960s. You can often see tire tracks on paved roads. Plus, of course, the industry standard oil leak in the center of the lane.

Why would tires contain cadmium or lead?

Here's a good tire recycling plant.[1] The process is straightforward. Chop up the tires, re-chop to smaller pieces, magnetically separate metal tire cords, grind up remaining rubber component, ship rubber to plant that makes rubber products, ship steel to steel mill.

Many videos of tire recycling plants on Youtube show inefficient operations. Big piles of partially chopped up tires, no reduction to a usable powder, no metal separation, not enough throughput. Serious operations have a front-end loader putting tires into the input hopper. Ones that look like subsidized demo plants have someone putting one tire at a time onto a conveyor. (They also tend to have names involving "Eco" and "Green". The serious players talk about tons per hour and the value of the product that comes out.)

Was quite fond of my Amiga - this blog post even taught me a couple of things I didn’t know.

ARexx was pretty cool - I had written up an AmigaGuide glossary (index) maker; was quite slow, but became quite speedy when I rewrote it in C.

I’m surprised it still has some advanced features that some OS’s lack (like system-wide desktop customizable fonts, which macOS still lacks)
I'm already upset.
The risk with an inconsistent waking time is shifting forward the circadian rhythm, if you sleep in later and later. When that occurs you'll fall asleep later as well, or wake up more often. A wind-down period ahead of bedtime can also offer some flexibility, if you happen to have enough sleep pressure to fall asleep earlier some nights.
It's still very much a pre-MVP prototype, but try the link in my profile.

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
> With no driver or cab, autonomous tractors would be lighter, doing less damage in compressing the soil.

The more likely development is that the tractors will be designed to operate continuously for a week at a time (or more), because there's no need for operator shift changes, and equipment utilisation is important. And so is planting and harvesting when conditions are right.

Bigger, heavier tractors on bigger farms. Some farms are already big enough that it takes a few days to make a circuit of a field.

For the remaining people that really do want/need that last 1%, ML doesn't work. You can't infer data that does not exist no matter how many samples you take. The resolution of every object is set by the optical resolution: a function of the wavelength and the NA of the lens [0].

Aside: super-resolution refers to nanoscopes that break the Abbe' diffraction limit of light [1]. The various set-ups do this in a few very clever ways so the specifics change exactly how well they resolve objects.

Given the time span, I assume the answer is, "no," but are you taking any dietary supplements? DMAE? Galantamine? If yes, stop taking them (after consulting with an appropriate heathcare provider).

Having disposable income is a culture itself, and different levels of wealth/income can be broken down into different tribes as well.

Economics is also at the root of tribal disagreements. It’s all about securing assets for your tribe, and that doesn’t just mean money. It could also be the unquantifiable qualities that make up a stable tribe, which are found less frequently in tribes with less security of housing, food, energy, and opportunity.

“You are the company you keep” is a popular saying that sort of touches on it.
Wait, did Apple actually add an option for unsigned boot on M1? I remember their WWDC overview saying they were only going to have either iPhone-style latest-version-only or any-version options, and them later saying they'd only be supporting virtualization. If they have an owner override for the secure boot on M1, then that's absolutely fantastic, and I suppose puts more support around Apple's assertions that Microsoft needs to license Windows on ARM for M1 before we can have Boot Camp back.

I have not seen anywhere mentioned so far, but where do you live? The biggest thing missing is all the FIRE and early retirement info is health insurance. If you’re in the US, you just need one health emergency and all that money could be gone. With six kids (SIX?!), you will have a LOT of health insurance things like accidents to be worried about.
Yes you're right, I wish I knew how to edit the post title to include the word "Solitaire" to avoid confusion.
I've settled for somewhere around 7.5h as I find this is less likely to lead to sleep onset or maintenance issues. Trouble falling asleep can shrink the total time even more, so I like to avoid that risk.
Agreed. Positioning optical devices takes very tight mechanical control and a good optical feedback mechanism. I don't think they will be out on the consumer market any time soon. But then again, I thought the same about these tiny sensors and the digital lenses, so who knows.
Not really; all the distros use the same low-level components. There would be work on a per-distro basis to use the right #defines and patches though.
I countered this by setting a go to sleep alarm. Alarm goes off, time to wind it up and head to bed. I do have a morning alarm (multiple of them) but I've been waking up before they go off.
> The Valley’s most valuable product is the contrarian thinking that fuels its innovation culture.

The most valuable product is its ability to deliver platforms that empower and incentivize more people to engage with economic production. Technologies that democratize capitalism, like the PC; key digital tools like spreadsheets, word processors, desktop publishing; the internet; online communities that democratized publishing and broadcasting like YouTube, podcasting, blogging; online marketplaces that democratized retail.

> That might not be true for much longer, however. There are signs that the gilded age for consumer internet businesses may be drawing to a close.

Anticompetitiveness and ‘exclusionism’ isn’t dying, the outsized incentives for the few will always be there. There will always be a back and forth. It’s up to Silicon Valley to understand its own nature and not let itself be subverted.
Locking users in, removing configuration options and just focusing for the lowest common denominator skill set has nothing to do with “self-made feeling”. The author’s annoying clerk analogy really summarises it well.
False. Respectfully it seems you didn’t read much of the thread.

From the thread Apple have actively left the door open so other (currently non existent) OS could be booted, but as the author said, they’ve left it open but have not provided documentation.

From the thread:

“Linus himself has said he'd love to see Linux running on M1 macs, but doesn't think it'll happen. Not because they're locked down, but because Apple won't help us with documentation.

But they at least did this:

https://mobile.twitter.com/marcan42/status/13331260180689551...

The fact that Apple allows this in their secureboot policy is critical. Linux ports to game consoles / iPhones / etc are all fun and games, but you're always at the mercy of exploits, and the resulting cat and mouse game.

That means all effort is wasted unless exploits keep up, and regular users would never want to do this and severely limit their access to official upgrades and such. But this isn't an issue with M1 macs.”

Continues to discussions of limitations..

I think that's probably the way to go if a business wants to tackle the problem of a useful home robot in the next decade. I totally agree with your point about home developers being forward-looking and designing homes with robots in mind.

That said, I don't relish the idea of my oven or toaster being internet-connected (https://tech.slashdot.org/story/20/11/25/1910244/aws-outage-...).

I also think it's good to also think long term beyond what is immediately feasible or commercially viable. Personally, as someone who enjoys the sci-fi movie Blade Runner, I would much prefer to see a robotic android being "more human than human", than having to compromise in the design of homes.
The Amiga was somewhat popular in the US but I think it was mostly with people who had Commodore 8-bit systems and remained with Commodore when upgrading to 16-bit systems. There were a lot of Atari and Apple II systems in the US besides the C64 and Atari and Apple II owners likely upgraded to Apple Macs, the Atari ST and IBM PCs and not the Amigas. Beyond home computing, the Amiga got quite a bit of use in the video industry in the US.

In contrast, Commodore systems were huge in Canada, where I live. All the schools here had 8-bit Commodore systems from the PET to the C64 era. This meant a lot of homes had the VIC-20 and C64. I only knew 1 person in my school with an Apple II and one with an Atari 800XL. Many of the Commodore owners upgraded to Amigas, especially once the Amiga 500 came out. Of course, Canada had 1/10th the population so there weren't as many Amigas as in the US, but a higher percentage of the population had them.
> @OP: Can you please explain why you keep 50 gigs of perl around? :-)

In the old days this was a big performance boost. Now with nvme ssds barely noticeable. Still most distros set up a few by default.
Consider how much of work in btrfs is done to just handle the case of modifying existing files—or reducing file system size.. It is basically the reason it uses b-trees. It's in the name!

For example, when dedupping in block level it needs to know (right?) how many times a block is being used, so it can be collected when it runs out of uses.

ISO9660 can also express dedupped (hardlinked) files with the Rock Ridge extensions. I don't know but I'm wondering it could even do block-level dedupping if the generating program abused the format a bit..
Here's a cooky idea:

When you wake up, force yourself out of bed, and immediately go wash your face, then do some pushups or go for a run around the block.

You're in charge of yourself, if you want to wake up, get out of bed and do it. How old are you?

No cardio crap ever. Heart is worked plenty doing strength/explosive exercise and just every day living walking around. Long drawn out cardio like running cannibalizes muscle mass which is counter productive for aging well. Strength training preserves muscle mass and bone density. It's what everyone should do.

Fact checking works in a civilized society where the adversaries are “good sports” who acknowledge the rules of the game — e.g., conceding a lost election. The problem today is that we don’t live in such a society. Our political reality has edged closer to pure wrestling for power, where the other guy is seen as bad and any lever is ok to pull to prevent them from expressing.

When I follow the link there is a Kindle booklet "not available for purchase".

Yeah I basically schedule time before bed. What people take for granted is that an increasingly fatigued state can also lead you to procrastinate on sleep, i.e. if you're tired and dicking around on electronics mindlessly, you'll just keep doing it and have trouble pulling yourself away. Whereas if I just read a book that's no trouble.
Unfortunately, in the US, fact-checking addresses only the symptom, not the cause, and is unlikely to change anyone's
minds [1].

We can see that disinformation isn't a necessary feature of democratic debate today, as it is a tactic used overwhelming by Republicans/conservatives, and very little by Democrats/liberals.

In a two-party system like the US, the structural reasons Republicans adopt this tactic is fundamentally because the structure of the Electoral College makes it rational for Republicans to target polarized extremists (to boost turnout), while Democrats need to target the center (to win swing voters) [2].

The solution isn't fact-checking. The solution is abolishing the electoral college, so that both parties have to appeal equally to centrist swing voters, who are more convinced by reasonable factual appeals than by polarized disinformation.

It's interesting that during the switch to Pb-free, other changes occurred in the electronics industry almost concurrently.

The fact is that liberals and the media subjected us all to 2+ years of peepants reporting, telling us that all of the shoes would be dropping any day now, chasing a fever dream of a grand conspiracy with Russia. And it was all total horseshit, despite the fact that the NYT, Wapo, MSNBC, CNN et al filled volumes with reporting on the subject. These are the loudest voices in the country, they're supposed to use facts to buoy the public and keep us moored to reality, and instead showed themselves to be the most detached.
