Definitely I guess my point is more that our definition of what constitutes writing seems to be arbitrary when we do have “writing” that goes back ~20k years it just isn’t letters representing sounds. I mentioned tally marks and we’ve found them all over the place. If our definition has to be that people use an alphabet to record sentences then civilization under the definition of writing + multiple city states may not be moved back. But I think that doesn’t capture a large (like 2-3 times as long) span of time in which there were “civilizations” and it’s really a shame.
I remember growing up in the 90's and happily learning in school and on TV that it was my civic duty to recycle.

One of the biggest catastrophes of environmental policy was to shift the burden of plastic waste away from corporations and onto the consumer.

Corporations can pump out as much single-use trash as they wish, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the result not of their practices but of individuals' inevitable failure to be conscientious and manage the waste they produce. Classic tragedy of the commons.

It should have been a matter of Federal policy, not individual choice. Just like the (successful) ban of lead-based paint and CFC's.
>As the linked article admits, it only sequesters carbon if it is plant-based

At the very top: "It’s usually made from petroleum, which is better in a landfill than in a tank of gasoline"

"It" being plastic. The common non-plant-based kind.

And later: "If we're going to extract carbon from the ground at all, far better that it ends up in a soda bottle that will last 400 years than in the combustion chamber of your car."

It's good if there is more demand for non-plant-based plastic, because then we burn less fossil fuel.

>It is dumped in whichever way is cheapest and easiest

The most common way plastic is disposed of is in a landfill. The carbon is being sequestered underground, in other words.
Interesting how the two examples of false positive had large sum of cash in the car. Could the money have drugs or other bacteria in it that causes the false positive?
Sure, but why is that bad if it is responsibly disposed of?

Sure, some landfills can leak, but that's a design flaw of landfills. Is it bad to responsibly dispose of single use plastic in a landfill where it may be reclaimed by future technology?
Storing plastic waste is better than burning it, carbondioxide-wise (not taking into account additives or whatelse can leak out of them). Not making plastics from fossil carbon sources at all is better. Making plastics from non-fossil sources even sequesters carbon but as far as I know, this amount is almost negligible at the moment.
Since film cameras are obsolete, is there any way to repurpose their optical parts?
Yes, and digging and replacing pipes is expensive. I wonder how much is spent on maintenance and upgrades normally in the US. How much extra money is this really?

Thanks for mentioning the election example. The word “lies” is a proxy for lack of rigorous journalism as well. When journalists claim that opinions / criticism about something as complicated as an election are “lies”, their bias is quite obvious. It’s as if there is no nuance allowed.
>the claim pertains to non-biodegradeable bioplastics only.

That's most plastic though. Your average soda bottle is not biodegradable on any meaningful timescale.

As the article puts it: "If we're going to extract carbon from the ground at all, far better that it ends up in a soda bottle that will last 400 years than in the combustion chamber of your car."
> Also, if someone wanted to "shed" the identity associated with a public key they could always just "accidentally" leak the private key in a public git commit.

That would allow anyone to prove that they owned the public key, which prevents the original owner from using it. But it seems like, if you want to stop using the key, it's simpler to just stop using it. What does leaking the private key accomplish that deleting the private key doesn't also accomplish?

There is no silver bullet to solve the CO2 problem but there are many small initiatives that can, in aggregate, make progress.

So while this won't solve it on its own, neither will anything else. We need to start doing what we can and stop worrying about whether it will be enough in isolation.
There are two things actually and sadly no one investigate both of them:
1. Is Covid a lab leak ? (which had poor investigation)
2. Could China stop it (Whether its lab-leak or not) in early stages and prevent it from spreading out of their borders ? (which they achieved successfully for other provinces)
Its astonishing “scientist” in labs are so detached from the real world and dismissive as always.

The virus wasn’t tampered with. Th lab in Wuhan is “GAIN OF FUNCTION” testing.

read it again. Gain of function means nudging viral samples so they gain functions on their own without human gene editing or modification that can easily be traced.

Why now? Why not 5 years ago? The animal markets have always been there.

> being next to a river is much better than being next to the sea.

You can be next to both.

Coastal settlements provide excellent food sources, and greatly limits various health issues (lack of salt, iodine, …). Consuming fish blood would also help, it’s going to be much closer to isotonic than seawater.

Depending on land structures, coastal settlements would also often benefit from much higher precipitation rates, providing freshwater. That’s essentially the story of Polynesian settlements, islands would be settled if they either had natural springs or enough precipitations.
>It's not nothing, but it's not a good excuse to waste more single-use plastic (as you're implying here saying "Single-use plastic waste is 'good'")

Suppose I get upset about all the fossil fuel which is being burned and decide to do something about it. I buy up fossil fuel and instead of burning it, I sequester it underground in such a way that it can't be used by drilling companies. This seems clearly good for the environment, no?

"Wasting" plastic does exactly this. If you buy ordinary non-biodegradable plastic, and dispose of it in the garbage so it goes to the landfill, you are effectively buying up fossil fuel which could have been burned, paying someone to transform it into solid form so it can't easily be used as fuel, and sequestering it underground.

Of course it is not a complete solution to global warming. But it is something we should encourage people to do.

Inventing the Service Trait
So that raises the question, if you are guilty of a crime, e.g. shoplifting but you get punished like a e.g. murderer. Are you innocent or guilty? If you argue they committed a crime, so don't deserve sympathy, then it follows that we don't need to look at the fact if punishment appropriate. We could then just throw people in jail and do away with much of the court system, because with the complexity of the law, you can say with nearly 100% certainty that someone would have committed a crime at some point, so they all are guilty.

Proportionality between crime and punishment is a central pillar of a fair justice system. The extrajudicial financial punishments that the article and the OP allude to, are in direct conflict with that.

Like one of the previous posters said, daemonizing the guilty is what keeps this system from being fixed.
Single-use plastics aren't going away, even the "wokest" corporations use them for packaging. The problem is that in most countries and most households, they end up in residual waste where they're burned rather than recycled. Not even in modern, environmentally-conscious, high tax countries like Austria the garbage processing has been modernized to the point where plastics are separated and recycled from collected residual waste. This is what needs to be done (would be a good issue to regulate with EU law, as opposed to many others).

How to Buy Bitcoin
The entire field of economics is based on the idea that if you increase the price of something, people will buy less of it. If we increase the demand for plastic, that increases demand for fossil fuels (since fossil fuels are needed to make plastic), which makes the price go up, which means people will buy a bit less fossil fuel to burn in their vehicles etc.

Just search for "gas prices" on Google News and you'll see that people are very concerned about the price of gas. Much more than most commodities, actually.

That's not what they said at all. They complained about breaking the access to things that were already chosen to be public.
Implosions would be much worse imo.
Yes, if landfill leak prevention fails to scale upwards in concert with production. If plastic production is to increase 30% in a single year, while landfill technology presumably will not advance leak prevention by that degree, then it takes 23% fewer landfills leaking to pollute the environment by the same amount. If plastic production incurred sufficient investment in landfill technology to shrink leakage by 23% in that year of 30% growth, then at least it would be neutral rather than bad. (Napkin math caveat applies!)

Because those of us who have extensive knowledge of volatility products (I was a specialist in VIX options at the CBOE, the first to make markets in VXX, and one of the largest traders in volatility ETF options over the past decade), believe that the spike in the VIX index was caused by arbitrageurs reacting to a spike in the VIX futures. And VIX futures were simply reacting to the order flow caused by the daily rebalancing of leveraged ETFs.

I found this recent article from Our World In Data much more informative about plastic waste:

https://ourworldindata.org/ocean-plastics

There's a huge difference between "plastic waste in a landfill" and "plastic waste in the ocean." It's not like landfills just leak some % into the ocean every year. Some countries just throw far, far more of their plastic waste into the ocean.

More specifically here's a chart on where ocean plastic comes from:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/plastic-waste-emitted-to-...

The Philippines alone is putting more than 100 times as much plastic into the ocean as the United states is. And this isn't per-capita, this is total.

When it comes to plastic getting into the ocean, recycling plastic does nothing. Recycling plastic is like a religious ritual that reminds us that we need to care about the environment. It isn't actually doing anything. What needs to happen is that the countries that handle their trash badly - the Philippines, India, China, Brazil, Bangladesh - need to stop dumping so much plastic trash into the ocean.
Not OP but with rook and king you make a box and shrink it while keeping your king next to your rook, and stalemate is all but impossible. With queen and rook you have to get the queen to a knight's distance from your opponents king and mirror their moves until the edge of the board, and at the end you need a slightly bigger L (4 squares) to avoid stalemate while your bring your king around. In the former the two pieces work together, in the latter they work somewhat independently (with a quirk at the end) until the final sequence of moves and therefore there is a slightly larger risk of error. In practice you should drill this regularly to mitigate the risk.
As someone else stated, you consume in a slow manner. The library is built up over time.

the only problem with this is needing to push your container images in CI before being able to schedule, as the real pod will a real node, which will need to pull a container.

That's a very big if. "If responsibly disposed of" has an approximately zero percent chance of occurring. And even then, some things will get accidentally dropped or discarded.

It's just not a realistic starting point to build an argument around. You have to assume people will improperly dispose of it as an axiom.
> Some think the Black Sea was much smaller, and filled up, during the period in question. But evidence there is inconclusive.

Evidence of catastrophic flooding is debated and inconclusive.

That the black sea’s level used to be much lower is not, all water levels were much lower at the glacial maximum, and gradually rose as the ice age ended, nearing stable historical sea levels around 7.5kya (5500 bce).
Just because the facts don't match your preconceptions doesn't mean you can just dismiss them. Proof that they are cooked, otherwise you don't have an argument.
You would have land owned by Jewish Palestinians, land owned by non-Jewish Palestinians, and land cooperatively owned by both Jewish and non-Jewish Palestinians. Jewish Palestinians plus non-Jewish Palestinians do not make up 100% of Palestinians, but rather the result of 100% minus land cooperatively owned by both Jewish and non-Jewish Palestinians.
> We now live in a time that has validated people raising how they feel to having the same weight as science, demonstrable evidence and reason

Since you mentioned the election, how does science, demonstrable evidence and reason play into the fact that the people labeled "conspiracy theorists" were refused all of this....and the fact that no one can prove Biden won any more than they can prove Trump didn't lose?

> The Earth not being flat wasn't so much a "conspiracy theory" but a challenge to medieval Christian doctrine.

You're changing the scope of the argument. You now give credence to the then "conspiracy theorist" because you acknowledge the foresight they had (at the time) to see larger fundamental truths while living within a world of shifting power dynamics. I would certainly say this was done in the face of a "powerful and covert group responsible for something not appearing as it seems".
only a few plastics can really be recycled. plastic recycling is hard and not worth the money as long as pumping out new stuff is way cheaper. Thus the need of taxing the production of single use stuff.
the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the result not of their practices but of individuals' inevitable failure to be conscientious

If you live in the United States or Europe, if you throw plastic away in the trash, there is virtually zero chance that it ends up in the ocean. To get plastic into the ocean in the US you would have to throw it in a storm drain that drains to the ocean, throw it directly into the ocean, or throw it into a river. The garbage patch is almost all coming from other countries that dump trash into rivers or the ocean.
This scam is well known and self inflicted. Those with the money and responsibility have relinquished total control. Reminds me of the similar arrangement of Formula 1 with Bernie Ecclestone when in fact the car manufacturers should have been the sole beneficiary of all the revenues.

Of course there probably was some greasing the palms in the beginning to create this racket and flywheel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Ecclestone
A serial arsonist was burning homes in a Midwest suburb. As regular home-burnings occurred, the residents became upset with the fire department. ‘Why was it taking so long to put the fires out?! Why can’t we have better fire hoses, or faster fire engines?! Maybe the town tax dollars should pay for private enterprises to go around and moisten homes, making them less flammable?’
Another group of residents were trying to convince their neighbors that they should be trying to catch the culprit. They felt they had some pretty compelling clues as to who the arsonist was. But they were shouted down, ‘No, no, no.’, they hand waved. ‘Working out who started the fires is far far far less important/actionable than working out what we should do when (not if) another [fire] starts spreading’

Oh the absurdity.

"It's better dumped in a landfill" is miles away from "sequesters carbon".

Pumping oil into a landfill wouldn't be sequestering carbon, so I'm not sure why pumping oil, processing it into plastics, shipping it all over, and then dumping it in a landfill would be.
Or we can stop acting like spoiled children and impulse shop prepackaged crap (a few tomatoes wrapped in plastic that lasts hundreds of years) and with a bit more effort and planning consume things in a much more sustainable way.

>the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the result not of their practices but of individuals' inevitable failure to be conscientious

according to Seaspiracy, almost 50% of the plastic in the garbage patch is from the fishing industry.
They can afford to perceive the system as a sham.

I might understand that it’s a sham, but I’d be miserable and powerless to push against it. So it’s a pointless belief to have.

But after that, it becomes a bit chicken and egg: Is it a sham only because you have power to make it a sham or was it a sham all along?
> you are on hook for thousands of dollars even in the event that you are never tried or you are tried and found not guilty.

You're on the hook for thousands of dollars even if you're never charged!

Don't forget about the bail loan firms. Say, you're arrested and kept on a $20K bail. Even if you have the money in the bank, the only way to pay is by cash or money order. They won't accept personal check, they won't accept wire transfer, they won't accept nothing. You can't buy a money order from your cell. But they will helpfully refer you to a bail loan firm. They take away your phone, so you won't be shopping around much - their referral is all you have. And, unless you happen to have a suitcase full of cash with you, this is the only practical way to pay. Bail loan firms charge 10-15% of the bond, which, of course, they get to keep even if you show up in court as promised, regardless of whether you're found guilty or even charged with anything. This is such a profitable scam those firms will do anything to keep the current system in place.
