Yeah the machines around here you can hear them being crushed. Most are Tomra units. Oregon does recycle full bottles but I think that's only if you use the green bags and have them sort.

Found a video of the same machine, you can hear the bottle breaking https://youtu.be/1wwmqmxdlSw?t=27

Quick edit: Looks like Tomra does make machines that keep the bottles intact.
That kind of gibberish is actually a symptom of psychosis (thought disorder).

I landed on a private runway due to bad weather. I saw it was private on the chart but seriously did not care.

It was over a mile long and had landing lights. It was owned by some Texas billionaire brothers who kept their jet there. The people there were actually super nice and loaned us a car to get lunch.
So the traditionally the option-key menu is a firmware menu, while the recovery partition is loaded from the disk or ssd.

Are you saying the new macs don't have firmware separate from the ssd? With everything more integrated and optimized I would believe it, but it would be a big change with respect to admin and diagnostics.

While I think its comical that the author casually recommends people to go "speak at conferences", theres some really good advice here.

I came out of a Hack Reactor and started pumping out React code for a small startup. After about 6 months, I was bored and decided to take some Bradfield courses just like this article recommends and the experience has been invaluable. Seeing how some "black boxes" work in details has been super illuminating and helpful at times. The core concepts and even just the code I was exposed to moved the needle in terms of my progress quite a bit and also showed me other areas of software engineering I didn't know existed when I got started.

Yes. And what I'm saying is that it's a natural outcome of having a market.

As far as I can tell you're arguing for "market pricing" but arguing against government interference in pricing, but I don't think you can have both of those at the same time.

If the government doesn't intervene, most people will buy fixed-price electricity contracts instead of market-priced contracts.

If you want the average person to avoid blackouts in a situation like this ('like this' meaning no huge grid overhauls), then you need to ban fixed-price electricity contracts.

> Some did buy the variable plan. They had electricity (although at a high price).

Are you sure? As far as I'm aware the outages were a function of location, not what type of plan you bought.

Some were cheering but I wasn't. I like to think I see both sides to it.

On one hand, there are some teachers that are high risk and should not have to go back.

On the other hand, some students have been severely underserved. For example on of my teach friends has 5 homeless students that have essentially no school, and others in abusive homes.

The practical solution in my opinion was to make low risk teachers conduct in person education for young and vulnerable students for whom at home education will not work, and do so with added precautions. This is what much of the rest of the world has done.

At this point, I think it is largely irrelevant, assuming that teachers will have vaccines in the next month or two and be will actually go back once they receive them.

So much for the many remarks made on HN claiming that Apple would use the M1 to further exert control over users’ ability to boot an alternative OS. Between this and Asahi Linux, I’d say things are off to a good start.

Some honest questions here for experts:

0. Why was the engine flaming in the first video? Why didn't the pilots cut fuel to that engine immediately and use the other engine to land?

1. What is the best way to communicate issues to the pilot if you're a passenger and see something the pilot can't see? For example once I was sitting in the back of the aircraft on Airtran and I saw a screw on the jet loosening and almost falling out.

Illegal drug dealers have very little incentive not to sell to underage kids, while legal ones have a license and livelihood that could be taken away.

Of course legal drugs always have “cool” adults willing to be straw purchasers for underage kids. It’s complicated, and the relationship between the law and underage usage are non linear.

It seems to me that maybe you should try switching to watching better films before you condemn an entire industry full of creative people. I happened to come across this quote from the late Roger Ebert just now:

“If it’s a great movie, it lets you understand a little bit more about what it’s like to be a different gender, a different race, a different age, a different economic class, a different nationality, a different profession, different hopes, aspirations, dreams and fears. It helps us to identify with the people who are sharing this journey with us.”

There is no monolithic “Hollywood.” Suggesting not only that there is but that it has a nefarious agenda of some kind is an all-too common element of popular conspiracy theories and, frankly, an example of lazy thinking.
How do you expect the industry to manage this? We can't even scientifically test whether the different foods we eat are harmful or good for us.

I think humanity will have to face consequences and start paying people to possibly sacrifice their health for the greater good. It's just not possible to in any other way I think.
I would suggest that many people commenting in this thread are not allowing for the dynamic if/when Taikonauts walk on the surface of the Moon. That would likely change everything.

Honestly, at this point things are just annoying complicated. I do feel that most people pushing to open schools are doing so from a convenience angle. Having the kids at home has been really difficult. Worse, isolating them at home has been cruel.

But I have a hard time squaring fears of letting kids visit other families with kids, with this push to send them all back to school. :(

Thanks for the footnotes. I will be perusing those when I can.
Yeah I remember the Debian docs being a little obscure. And debhelper is only so helpful.
But also, we don't have the technology to do that, either.
The situation isn't binary.

Waste management is handled at the local government level, they tend to "do their own thing". If your local government is doing the right thing, good for them! It could be burnt, landfilled, exported, sorted and sent to a local processor or sorted and then exported.

Sorting is not a binary process either. You can sort to different contamination levels depending on what processors are willing to take.

Not all waste is the same; different kinds of waste are handled differently in different places.

Local conditions make a difference; how much do voters care about the environment really? How much unused space is nearby? Are you way inland or near a port? etc.

But we can zoom out a bit and look at the macro trends.

I thought this article was a good introduction to how things have changed: https://e360.yale.edu/features/piling-up-how-chinas-ban-on-i...

Hopefully in future we do see more local processing, and less "environmental law arbitrage" by waste export.

I think that's a trick question, Debian's outdated but stable binary software is in many way completely antithetical to Gentoo's philosophy, but on the other hand, it's still Linux, and absolutely a viable alternative regardless.

You don't compare them for efficiency. That's a useless thing to do. You compare for other metrics that actually matter, like cost.
Articles more than a year old (this one is from 1984) are supposed to have the year in the title.
A piece of extraplanetary mass being brought to Earth only changes the planet's orbit insofar as its orbit on entry to Earth mismatches that of rest of the planet. Furthermore, it will only slow down Earth's orbit if it was initially slower in the orbital direction, which means it would have to originate from the inner solar system.

Now, the retrieval of such mass to earth is (physically) an inslastic collision. Inellastic collisions usually dissipate energy, so the thermodynamic problem of overheating the Earth's atmosphere will be an issue before orbital changes or spontaneous nuclear fusion.
The real answer: It's entirely beyond our capabilities and not achievable at all.

Offtopic to OP but regarding Linus Tech Tips:

I also stopped watching 90% of all LMG (his company) videos (on all their channels) because of the clickbait forcing me to click onto things that I am not interested in, only to quickly leave the video. I am not going to watch what I don't want to watch whether it has a clickbait thumbnail and title or not, so they just annoy me more with this. I have not voiced my opinion for two reasons: 1) it's a really common opinion, Linus is aware of it and this style is obviously good for business since they kept it, 2) fear of intense backlash from the fan community.

So yeah, got that off my chest.
I mean, It was a supportive anecdote and is certainly correct in some cases. Hell, I empathize with the parents, home schooling is hard stressful work and I would rather have kids off at school too.

Not sure I agree. I think the end of the Cold War and loss of our "competition" may be a bigger factor.

Or, how I stopped worrying and learned to love Cold Wars.
The one way I know of to quantify something like "what's the value of preventing something bad from happening" is to use the kind of techniques described in Douglas Hubbard's How To Measure Anything[1]. Teach some experts within the customer company how to do calibrated probability assessment[2], then build a model, and run a Monte Carlo simulation[3] over that model. That gives you a way to at least loosely quantify things. It's not perfect, but for what you're doing it probably doesn't need to be.

I'm biased because I've become great friends with the bradfield founders (Hi Myles and Oz!) since I took all their classes years ago, and recently guest lectured as part of their databases class, but they're basically targeted at working bootcamp graduates that have huge C.S holes in their knowledge. More of a practical focus than what I would imagine you get from online MOOC courses (plus live instruction), but to be honest I haven't taken a lot of MOOC's personally so I may not be the best to compare.

> If you simply impose a carbon tax, private enterprise will just go and build solar.

Depends on how high the carbon tax is. Put it at a high enough rate that the country needs to go 100% carbon-free and people will build nuclear because that's the only solution (besides geographically limited things like geothermal and hydro) that can feasibly bring carbon emissions to zero.

Renewables are cheap when going from a mostly fossil fuel grid to a 50/50 renewable and fossil fuel grid. But bringing fossil fuels below 50% without the help of nuclear or hydroelectricity is extremely difficult. Any plan to do so basically assumes that some future breakthrough will make storage cost a fraction of what it does today.

> We have no storage? Those companies won't care. It's not their problem to solve.

Yeah, that's why there's no plan to actually decarbonize with renewables.

And if we actually want to stop climate change, yes it absolutely a problem that needs to be solved.

> If you want nuclear to happen you'll have to force it somehow, and I'm not seeing any particularly attractive ways of doing so. You want to be the politician who runs on a campaign of forbidding or heavily taxing solar and wind at the same time as dumping billions of $ into nuclear construction? Yeah, that'll go great, I'm sure.

Pass a carbon tax such that building a nuclear plant is less expensive than running solar during the day and natural gas at night. Renewables depend on fossil fuels until we make a breakthrough in storage.
