Specifically, this report presents an analysis of potential human health risks associated with non-sanitary landfill disposal for three PV technologies, focusing on release of the highest-prioritized chemical element for each: lead (Pb) in crystalline-silicon (c-Si) PV modules, cadmium (Cd) in thin film cadmium telluride (CdTe) PV modules, and selenium (Se) in thin film copper indium selenide (CIS) PV modules. The prioritization of these chemical elements for analysis is based on stakeholder interest. Because the methodology is chemical-specific, the risk assessment results for these chemicals cannot be directly generalized to other chemicals, although the risk assessment methodology can be applied to other chemicals. If the chemicals chosen are indeed the ones presenting greatest risk, then the results herein should represent the upper bound of health risk from exposure to a single constituent.
A good resource, thanks for putting it out there! I'd suggest that having an idea for a reasonable program might be more useful for a beginner, i.e. a series of routines to be carried out over the next n weeks. I feel that it's more useful to point a beginner to a well-thought-out program than a grab bag of movements to follow for a single session. My go-to program for anyone setting out to improve their fitness is the Barbell Medicine Beginner Prescription https://www.barbellmedicine.com/blog/the-beginner-prescripti... It includes four weeks of programming (which can be repeated), background context, advice on warming up and weight selection, videos for how to perform the movements, and nutrition advice. All the most-important basics are there in one place.

There's a lot of conflicting advice on this thread, and some that (I'd say) was questionable. On the other hand, it's apparent that humans can improve their physical fitness using a wide variety of different methods and modalities. That old adage about the best fitness routine is the one you stick to holds true, I think.

> You cannot demand salary to be raised without understanding business will be looking elsewhere to fulfill business needs , and will be outsourcing actual labor.

Sure, but this has been happening for all of history, and the end result has been higher wages and lifting people out of poverty. We still have a long way to go, though, both locally and globally.

I just started watching Warrior, which is a TV series set in San Francisco in the 1870s. The Irish-Americans are pissed off that the fat-cat business owners have been importing much cheaper labor from China. Of course they forget that during the early periods of Irish immigration to the US, they were the ones undercutting the wages of the Anglo-Saxon incumbents. This has been the case for pretty much every wave of immigration that included a large component of low-skill workers.

This is in play all the way to modern times, without the need for immigration's effects, with the outsourcing and offshoring movements starting in the end of the last century, moving manufacturing to parts of the world with cheaper labor, and now just this year companies realizing they can employ remote knowledge workers (in the same country, even) for less than their current workforce.

This is just normal (for better or worse), and yet you act like it's an aberration that will cause the sky to fall.
This is incorrect. Our readership at The Factual is polled every day on trending questions and results show that they do not fall along party lines consistently. The same person often agrees with different sides on different issues. (Our polls often match up to national polls like Pew and Gallup so they may be representative of the US though we do not ask demographic information to prove this).

Moreover, research shows that reading different sides, when they are both presented in an informative fashion, helps people appreciate different viewpoints if not change it at times. It's only when viewpoints are presented with highly inflammatory language that we tend to dig into our pre-existing beliefs.

This isn't about finding some mythical center. People are often curious why people have different viewpoints. Indeed, I think this is a big reason why comment sections like HN work so well. The net effect likely is one of moderation in one's beliefs, which seems like a good thing overall.

This isn't solving the same problem as in the article, which is about inline one-liners.

When the commands already exist as a file, the problem has multiple solutions. Quoting via base64 is a clever one, but the result is actually the least convenient compromise of all: not only does the script have to pre-exist as a file, the transport of stdin is unavailable to the process executing the commands.

I see those dual sports all the time and I don't see the attraction other than image. They're less agile on-road which is where they spend their time. At least they're not as silly as the trend of sticking knobbly tyres on road bikes for that "scrambler" look.

If anything the opposite trend makes more sense, the motard / supermotard style where a competent off-road bike is retrofitted with road tyres and suspension tuning. They look like an absolute blast.
+1 on being able to choose. I’m building a personal finance app right now, and where I can I’m choosing to not ingest or retain sensitive data. While the origin of this is scratching my own itch, I suspect that I’ll get better traction if I can overtly say I’m not collecting data I don’t need or holding onto it for longer than you want me to. I’d love to be able to just get a Boolean back.

Not quite, at least not necessarily. One feature of FTDI chips is an EEPROM that can be used to customize the enabled features, enumeration strings, and other things. That programming could probably be done in a separate jig, or in-circuit. So yes, 5 minutes of hardware work, but more potential rework at a higher level.

Not to mention the possibility of sealed cases/enclosures or potted PCBs.
And amusingly, the bricking worked because again the clones worked better. The clones had implemented FTDI's EEPROM interface as designed, 16 bits at a time, while FTDI apparently had used a 32bit array for the internal FT232 EEPROM, and so would buffer 16 bits and only write all 32 bits when you issue writes to odd addresses. FTDI's bricking code uses writes to even addresses only (including computing a preimage attack on their checksum algorithm, as the checksum is at an odd address so they can't change it), which is why it doesn't affect the real ones.

I wish more languages have the concept of "object/memory freezing" especially at runtime, similar to runtime assertion checks, but without using 3rd party compiler plugins to instrument my code.

C++'s insane "const * const" syntax makes it hard to conceptualize when I just want "create object, do bunch of non trivial stuff, freeze object forever"

Credence isn't required to be neutral in the center. I vote center in my country (France) which I also disagree with should call center because it gives this impression to be at a border of two "sides" of the population but whatever.

I can understand what's credible or not on both sides but what matters to be is WHY they believe these positions. I don't want to synthetise them as much as I want these people to either stop suffering or stop believing they suffer.

So I vote not for more socialism or more traditionalism, but to remove the need for tradition while lowering the grouping effect of socialism. It is obviously a position in itself to reject the left or right visions of a path forward.

Your mistake maybe is that there are two sides to a political spectrum while there are many dimensions to the political hypercube.

This combative assertion of race-based victimization is not as productive toward the conversation as people may think. Indeed, it tends to drive a great many people into defensive positions where they hunker down.

I grew up in Omaha, the end of the transcontinental railroad that Californians tend to forget about. I'm very sorry that so many Chinese immigrants died working on the railroad. I am also saddened by the many others who died, even though they were not immigrants of Chinese extraction. I'm also saddened by the atrocious conditions these immigrants escaped in China and compelled them to the US (I assume they did not desire to come to the US, and it's worth noting many no doubt landed elsewhere).

While the CRPP may have preferred Chinese labor, I do not find evidence that they did "most of the work". Indeed, the main employer of the Chinese was the CRPP, which laid 690 miles of the 1912 miles of track. The Union Pacific labor was primarily sourced from the remains of the Union and Confederate armies.

It is correct that 80% of the CRPP labor force was eventually (not initially) Chinese. It is also correct that the CRPP laid 36% of the rail by distance. First order approximation would suggest that the Chinese fraction of the built distance is between 15 and 29%.

What you just described makes about as much sense as Seado - a word that I just came up with - e.g. no sense at all.
Yes, it probably was me.

CAA assumes the Certificate Authorities are honest which I believe on the whole is a reasonable assumption - but it doesn't only protect you against accidents. Malevolence from third parties might be blocked by CAA too.

For example, suppose you conclude the some of the 3.2.2.4 Blessed Methods are unacceptably vulnerable to impersonation of your organisation. You identify that a particular CA specifies in their CPS that they never use any of these methods, you can use CAA to tell every other CA not to issue. As a result, these methods cannot be used to successfully obtain certificates that shouldn't exist. If an adversary tries to use another CA your CAA record tips off that CA that there's a problem, and if they try on your preferred CA then the vulnerable methods aren't offered.

I believe there is still work in progress to try to hook CAA together with ACME so that it would be practical to express "Only Let's Encrypt may issue, and only using dns-01" which rules out a lot of otherwise practical attacks for a resourceful adversary, but I don't track the status of that work.

> 10) Building tight, all-electric, with solar will provide a comfortable, clean, long-lasting house, but it will be quite a bit more expensive. Possibly 30%+ more expensive than using standard contractor choices.

I'm just finishing doing a high performance renovation ( <1 ACH50, all electric, heat pumps, HRV, etc.). For new construction, the difference is more like +5-10% - the materials are marginally more expensive, and the labor doesn't require extremely specialized skills. The HVAC equipment is the very expensive part.

For a renovation, it's more like 20% more expensive but it can vary widely depending on the existing house's condition and the original build quality.

I personally saved a boatload by doing the high performance air sealing work myself - it's not that hard once you get the hang of it, just laborious.

Rim brakes on roadbikes are awesome, but they are awesome because the calipers don't have to go far around the tire. If you try to build them for wider tires you suffer far more flex and flex means that you can't pull a high lever transmission ratio before running out of lever movement. Remember "brake boosters" on cantilever brakes? Same problem, the requirement to transfer the counterforce far around the tire. I'm a rim brake die-hard, but for anything wider than 28 go disc.

No. Unfortunately, most businesses in the US are not under any compliance requirements or regulations around identification.

I live in China and I smirk painfully at people in a biparty telling us our monoparty is oppressive and reduce variation of solution (having only 2 mutually exclusive choices is not twice as good as only one, it's like 10% better if you consider there are 10 choices of solutions).
