> Now we are going to have to click through another 20 separate screens?

I’ve never seen that. (Maybe I’m not visiting the same types of web sites you are.) You’re obviously ranting, which makes it hard for me to take you seriously. But blaming your imaginary problem on “the left” rather than the websites you imagine will do this to you seems a bit silly even so.
I think it's easy to point out flaws in an imperfect solution, but it's also admirable that they're making efforts others aren't towards what they believe to be an improvement in work conditions. For that, they should be commended. Nothing is perfect, and they could do nothing.
Thank you for the check.

> PE and PP are made from ethene and propene, which are indeed byproducts of fuel refining.

When we're talking about things like plastic bags and wraps, aren't we talking about PE/PP?

> Even if there were any waste products from fuel refining, they would certainly not be vented. They'd be burned as fuel.

This makes a lot of sense. But what if a refinery is not equipped to do this? What if the refinery is in a place with poor or non-existant environment regulation/enforcement?

> But demand far outstrips supply now, so these are now made on purpose.

This is the kicker. So how do we make PP/PE when supply of precursors from crude refinement is not sufficient?

> PS is made ... PET is made from ...

I shouldn't have used the word extruded, I guess? I was thinking more about PE/PP.
That's not a new take on Maher, and it's a bit disingenuous to suggest that it is.

Yep, totally agree with you, I was merely correcting a factoïd, and sorry for the very terse response, I was on the go.

And even the "better tooling" part is somewhat subjective. The added strictness and explicitness is valued by some, but for others it's seen as degraded readability.
Itt: people being willfully ignorant about climate change.

That is true for AFP over AppleTalk, yes. Netatalk3 only supports AFP over TCP, but that's fine as far back as System 7 using AppleShare Workstation with MacTCP. System 7.6 and later can use AppleShare Client 3.8.8 with OpenTransport: https://web.archive.org/web/20110418060150/https://support.a...

There are two types of people in the world:

2. Those who can't count.

3. Those who care what is counted and what isn't.

4. Those who like to read about why they should care what is counted and what isn't.

Because they already know there are lots of arguments for lead to cause an increase. The part you quoted was them reaching on purpose to come up with an argument that could even possibly go the other way.

They already know it's likely wrong. You pointing out it could be wrong isn't needed. They already know there are lots of anti-lead arguments, so you making another one isn't needed.
This makes me think of the Sisters of the Road in Portland, Ore.

It's technically meant for the homeless/poor, but they serve a very nice lunch or dinner for $1.50 or $1.25 (iirc).

I love that they charge that small amount, because it makes it more sustainable and less of a pure charity where every meal is 100% based on some kind of donation budget.

I've always thought that there should be more organizations like this where the charity is that the service is provided at cost, in a profit free way. By using this model charities wouldn't be utterly dependent on donations.

Its such a beautiful way to fairly utilize capitalism for justice.

I'm not sure if the $1.50 completely covers the cost of the meal but its completely possible.

If you ever felt like going there for a meal I wouldn't discourage you. It's actually a nice thing to try to interact with homeless people on an equal basis. More than that it's also valuable life experience to see how different life can be from your own.

I think my experiences of homeless life taught me things about psychology and humans nature that I couldn't have learned any other way and I feel experienced in life in ways that are hard to explain. Its like going to another country to learn the language.

If you do go, the house would probably appreciate a $5 bill for the meal, which is 100% worth that.

I will say that Sisters is typically fully booked up every day. So you'd want to dine there on a day where they weren't booked up, so as to not deny a space to someone who needed it.
Yes and yes. I expect Blue Origin are playing catch up with star ship. New Glenn could only self land the booster, not the upper stage. There's no way that could compete with star ship, it almost doesn't compete with falcon heavy.
Joe Rogan is now Netflix. YouTube is not an owner so you have to attribute specific videos to owners/sources (and potentially reference their sources). 90% is good to be skeptical about, but is it so unrealistic?

I'd love to see which company is the most shared ones. Fringe ideas always seem the loudest/most shared, so that to me, would be a better measure of 'marketshare of reach'.

At which point NYTimes likely falls really far.

Is that a downside? Anyone who's ever struggled with hardware driver problems knows that the more hardware configurations your software (notionally) supports, the more likely you are to have show-stopping bugs.

In a home PC, some reliability is arguably a fair trade-off for versatility. Not in a car.
This reads as: "believe whatever people say because we're afraid to contradict them."
The quirky thing to remember about gpt-3 is that it really is just a giant autocomplete based on the internet. It can do math insofar as it’s memorized some text which did that math with slightly different verbiage etc.

If you ask it to compute something that would never have been seen on the internet it’s likely to fail. E.g. add 2 extremely large/rare numbers together
Have you considered simply reading smaller books? A short story collection, so you’re only reading one short story at a time, or an anthology so you’re doing the same, or even a novella or a novelette which are also much shorter?
The faster the hardware gets, the more software becomes inefficient. Unfortunately, hardware hasn't become much faster outside of niche cases (massively parallel vector computations etc.) for the past decade or so.
Automatic video face replacement always seemed an obvious application to me. I'm more surprised that the tools for it are still so rough. I guess we can thank social taboos for that.

When I was a kid, I remember wondering how Soviets were obsessed with faking photos. A few years later, I saw Terminator 2 and realized that faking videos was also a thing. The tools for it would clearly get better and better over time. When I studied ML in the early 2000s, it seemed obvious that pattern recognition tasks such as image manipulation would be "easy" for computers, once we found the right approach and made the ML systems big enough. In the end, I decided not to pursue ML, because jobs were still scarce and I found discrete problems more interesting. That was probably the worst career mistake I've ever made.

On one hand I agree with you wholeheartedly (I also think python is a weird language choice for something that probably has some hard real-time requirements), but also consider that stuff like that may very well be present in the code bases of the closed-source commercial solutions, but unless someone who has worked on one of them speaks up, we'll never know.
Simply substitute Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, etc for soma and you're there.

There’s some messing around involved in building the interfaces to the cars. Comma’s excuse for why you shouldn’t be concerned is that both Open Pilot and the cars themselves have limits against erratic movements.
Consider that social media figures and podcasts hosts use the authority of corporate media to push narratives or validate their own narratives to their audience.

Corporate media sets the agenda or talking point of the day in a way that people then go on to discuss these talking points on podcasts and social media.

When considering situations that require “access” like daily press conferences with political figures ask yourself how many of those asking questions are independent reporters vs corporate media.

While social media does influence corporate media normally it’s just filler content or celebrity gossip that ends up getting talked about in traditional media.

I guess to summarise most people are getting their news from these six corporations either first hand or second hand via social media/podcasts.
so every secure programming C book ever written that tells people to never use strcpy() is wrong? please explain...
It’s from the article (and study cited therein) cited in the post I responded to.

Apparently few actually read the ‘evidence’ they knee-jerk cite to.

Specifically, the Brown study examined mussels who were kept in containers with 0.51 g/L of micro particles of plastic. And, surprise surprise, some of the micro particles found their way into the mussels. Shocker. That density of particles is nonexistent in nature. But, as long as you get the grant money...

The same Scientific America article also makes this claim:

“In a surprising study published in March, not only did fish exposed to microplastics reproduce less but their offspring, who weren’t directly exposed to plastic particles, also had fewer young, suggesting the effects can linger into subsequent generations.”

But, if you read the study it (a) has nothing to do with fish, but rather plankton, and (b) the exposure to micro plastics INCREASED the number of offspring!

People should read the studies. But, it’s easier to smugly downvote.
They moderate their content because if they don't, an angry mob will demand that companies pull ads from the platforms. Ironically, by prioritizing revenue over an agenda, it's actually the most democratic form of censorship.
You mean the comment about moving to the bottom the torture description? I agree weird, but also get it if someone doesn't want to hear "knowing your upper-body blood circulation has been stopped, and feeling the evergrowing pain and the ever-closing-in of claustrophobia as the man standing on your back gives your head one last shove down with his heel and you start to gasp and vomit"

Like I get that its not bad, but I guess I get the idea that not every reader wants to visualize that on like, idk, a Sunday morning while reading something.

> it's less Orwell and more Huxley.

This point comes up so often when discussing Orwell/1984 it's almost meta in itself. 1984 seems more scary to us for some reason, perhaps because it's more foreign/further from our reality than Huxley's fears/Brave New World?
Perhaps the ratio of (good ideas) to (number of people educated to solve problems) has been going down. That’s the relevant metric if you are talking about the problem from a social standpoint. Making an uneducated guess, the denominator has increased globally by at least a factor of two, and maybe a factor of ten, over the last fifty years. You need an explosive growth in new ideas, spawned perhaps by new physics or biology, to keep the ratio from declining. IT has been that tech for the last 70 years.
Um, no. Patriotism doesn't equal support for wasteful government programs, and criticism of one's government doesn't equal support for another country's government.

Understanding that is part of the cultural 'high ground' that the US maintains over China!
It's not the protocols that are entirely the problem. It's the authentication mechanisms that also create limitations. I had zero luck getting my 6.0.8 thru 8.6 installs to connect to Netatalk hosts on either my FreeNAS box or my Ubuntu 20.10 workstation until I manually built and installed the old 2.x tree.
Did you miss that the OP is speaking about the current state of these games? Why even expand with an edit when you agree with more than half their points?
Thank you for providing the source. The study does not support your original claim at all. On page 79 the study specifically notes that unbleached paper bags had the best CO2 performance across all of the numerous options surveyed!

The ridiculous "43 times" number was only obtained when considering "all environmental factors", not just energy use/climate change. The methodology chosen required offsetting the worst individual factor compared to conventional LDPE bags (pp. 80). For paper bags, this was "Freshwater eutrophication" (pp. 119). So this ridiculous number is only a) due to questionable methodology used in this study (clearly chosen to give plastic bags an unrealistic environmental performance), and b) because plastic production has negligible impact on nutrient content of lakes compared to forestry.

The study seems to have altogether omitted to consider the impact of persistent plastic pollution on the marine environment. This is where recyclable/biodegradable materials, like paper, really do shine compared to nonbiodegradable and hard-to-recycle (TFA) plastic.
Also during the Civil War I think. I was just listening to a podcast and they were talking about this. I think it took a couple of decades to get back to the gold standard after.
what about the idea that the explosion was due to somebody trying to cover their theft tracks... they just underestimated the result?

> If you think Comma is hacky then wait until you see Tesla's version, which costs $10k and only works on one brand of car!

What does the cost and number of supported vehicles have to do with whether or not the software is hacky? (Hint: nothing; it has nothing to do with it.)

> The stock "automatic cruise control" is most cars is far worse and far more dangerous than Comma

That's a pretty extraordinary claim to make without presenting any evidence.

> one that undoubtedly makes driving safer for themselves and other vehicles on the road.

Ditto.

The front page of the Comma website claims "millions" of miles have been driven using it; given that in the US there's about 1 fatality per 100 million miles driven, I don't think we have anywhere near enough data to make any claims about Comma's safety. It may actually be safer, but I don't think we have a way to know that yet.

And also, given that Comma supports several different vehicles, I suspect that we'll have to consider its safety record on a per-make (and in some cases possibly per-model) basis, not on the system as a whole, in order to compare apples to apples.
It might.

If it were just the Southern district, sure. But Albany (Northern) and Buffalo (Western) are sleepy backwaters for random walks through prosecutor email. Who or what would a threat actor want to know about in Albany or Buffalo last year?

If I take a job, and take money, then I am bound by Integrity and Personal Honor, to do all in my power to complete the contracted tasks; and to do so, well.

If I am working on a volunteer basis, then, if they become douches, I pack my bags and leave. I don't give a rat's ass about prestige and todger-measuring contests.

I know the identifiers etc are probably hard to catalog, but that is all the more reason to give things symbolic names and maybe even avoid having to specify those IDs repeatedly.

Think of it from the perspective of a zero empathy creature who favours profit maximisation over any and all human cost. What are they going to do with their life? What would need to happen for them not to end up in charge of companies?

This is a standard thing that has been happening for centuries as people try organisational structures that rely on good people being in charge. Turns out that there isn't a divining rod to identify bad people in advance, but they do tend to be hard workers who try hard to get in to positions of power.

Alternatively we could get shorter lifetime certificates. I hope for a day where ocsp becomes unnecessary because certs are only valid for a day or two.
Yep it’s actually one of the things i love. If waiting for go compile time has gotten to be a problem it is time for tests or to refactor if a test can’t be easily written.
What happens to the unhealthy population in that scenario?
I'd like a language that makes it easy to mock and dependency inject without doing anything special.

IE, if in my business logic, I write "new Foo()", I'd like to be able to write a unit test where I say something like, "whenever I wrote 'new Foo()' swap in this mock object instead."

Or, in a module that's an entry-point, I'd like to say, "whenever I wrote 'new Foo()' swap in this subclass instead."

I've spent so much time refactoring to make code mocking and dependency-injectable.
But not beyond a reasonable doubt?
That's required to get an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), is supposed to be why Novavax is behind schedule due to other cell culture based manufacturers soaking up resources, and why Emergent BioSolutions has never gotten approval for their Baltimore plant to make Janssen doses. Was in fact shut down, AZ/Oxford production at it canceled, etc.

As I understand it the rolling reviews for mRNA vaccine approval are purely a matter of time to prove for real the length of efficacy of them, that's part of the risk/benefit analysis. Can only be done a day at a time....
That would help but there seems to be no incentive to push anti-trust efforts. Otherwise these mega corporations wouldn't exist in their current behemoth forms. I think public outcry would need to be strong enough to pressure antitrust action, but people tend to be fine with it since less companies makes access to their media more simple and streamlined
I see.

Look, for me it does not add up. I mean, what is their end game? If the whole thing gains public support and popularity, which we have to assume their intention is, the people in the video can be easily followed up and their claims validated (I am pretty sure the opposition would love to do it, which would be also quite easy). Which will ultimately backfire on themselves, which make it unlikely to be their (at least the senator's) endgame..

So what is it?

Also, why is there no fact check that "debunks" the whole thing?
I stopped using Firefox because all my apps did not work on it. My Salesforce app, for example, didn't work on it. Part of my VOIP, which I depend on, does not work on it. And when I called support, all they say is to use Chrome. I'm not an assembly language programmer so I can't go to the bare metal to figure it out. That's what Firefox is supposed to do. I don't have time to figure any of it out, I have a job to do. Maybe it is my fault that some toggle is switched wrong, and I gave a cursory DuckDuckGo search to try to figure it out, but after an hour of looking, fruck it, I got other shlit to do, man.

Plus, Firefox is slow as molasses over the last year, so much so that I have to reboot several times a day. Starts out ok, but gets up to 100% disk and 100% memory usage. Using Chrome, it works fine without maxing out disk and memory.

I've used Firefox forever, and would prefer to keep using it, but it's just reached the tipping point for me this year. It kills me to go to chrome (Brave, actually) and I kept using Firefox a long time after it started giving me issues. But at some point, just gotta let go.

I know that the incompatibility is caused by Google on purpose, it pisses me off, but I still have to get work done. What can one do?
