If you wash up manually in a bowl, you can use the remnant liquid to do your recyclable washing before pouring it down the sink, but .. well, as you suggest "I ain't got no time for that".

As for your pizza box idea, I'm not sure that's not simply complicating things - now you'd have two independently-recyclable materials tha most consumers will simply leave together and dump in the box, leaving you with sorting problems, and oil going from foil to card anyway.

Also, I think the quality of the pizza might be impacted - my gut thinks that a pizza that's allowed to release some of its heat/grease into card makes it less squidgy and sweaty than one left to sit on foil. I haven't researched this though! :)

I mean, for crissakes - a neighbour in my block thinks that actual pizza crusts and leftovers are recyclable.

People!
And how much of that ended in the hands of open source developers? Tragedy of the commons?

I've been using an X200 with Trisquel and Guix package manager on it for a while now. While I have another non-free machine, which is quite powerful, everytime I code on my X200 it is a joy to work with. Very satisfied with it, but I think it is a matter of expectation management. You will not be able to play modern games or display some 4K videos on it (I guess). I do not need those, when I want to be productive and not get distracted from coding.

From my European point of view, the problem is not necessarily the almost invisible symbol but the government endorsement of recycling. Being forced to collect rubbish in some centralised way with tons of stupid rules made me think that recycling was working and that plastic was a relatively green choice (for something coming from oil).

This propagated down in the economy with brands using more and more plastic in the last 30 years. Everything is plastic nowadays, even what used to be glass (like milk containers).

Both government and mainstream media were all about people following all the dumb rules (I wonder how many hours of lost productivity we collectively lost as a species) or you hated the planet.

In the last few of years it turned out recycling is mostly useless, even if we had the evidence for it since the beginning. Most of it is unrecyclable, some of it get shipped to China to burn, a minor part of plastic gets recycled (and it can even be recycled a limited amount of times).

The government trying to intervene now is doing too little too late. The only thing I can understand is that big oil bought our governments officials and media. What they bought is 30 years to make money selling oil and enough time to shift their investment to something greener for the next cycle of corruption and profiteering.

Incidentally I know a family in the oil business and the new generation is investing the family empire in renewables, pocketing all the government's incentives for solar energies, while they're at it.

> until they get the data they want.

The game theory here is interesting. If they are sure that you have the information (for example, the private key to your bitcoin wallet) then "plausible deniability" isn't really a useful feature. It means you can credibly bluff "The key isn't on this device", but they can just torture you until you reveal which device it is on.

In contrast, the threat model of Rubberhose[0] assumes that the secret police believe that you have an incriminating file on your device, but they aren't sure. That means if you are innocent and disclose all your passwords to them, they won't be satisfied and will have to keep on torturing you forever, hoping that you might give them the information you don't actually have. Therefore they have to convince you that there is some information that you could hand over which would satisfy them, and they mustn't over-estimate what information you have, otherwise they are committing to torturing you forever and there is no advantage to you disclosing even the information you do have.

Decentralised systems are always more inefficient. If certain kinds of transactions are currently cheaper, it's due to lack of regulation (lack of competition in many cases is sadly a symptom of regulation). When the inevitable economic crises present themselves (assuming it ever gets used for anything serious), regulators won't stand by and do nothing.

> Coins going up in value just because they are scarce or first movers, is just like Pets.com being valuable because they have a good domain name.

Isn't scarcity baked in to Bitcoin? Any investments made using it will have to return more than the deflation / speculative-hoarding rate, which means useful things won't get funded.

Price controls by another name, again. I'm often told how energy companies are responsible for "climate denial" propaganda due to incentives. It seems to be a go-to dismissal, next to "believe the science".

Are proponents of climate apocalypse at all curious of the incentives concerning their proposed "solutions"?

If energy companies have incentives to mislead us, it stands to reason that other actors who would dictate energy consumption to the masses would also have incentives.

Yes. This is pointed-out in the wikipedia article.

Also, anecdotally, I know multiple people who believed (and in some cases still insist) that it indicates recyclability.

Metalized plastic film (as used as packaging for potato chips / crisps) is particularly aggravating because it will often be printed with a green dot but is very rarely recycled, and it effectively poisons the genuinely recyclable material that it is often mixed with.

Isn't part of the problem though that recycling facilities vary greatly in capability or breadth in the things they can manage, and are necessarily regional? Couple that with the fact that some facilities turn functionality on or off depending on market prices at any given time (esp. with say single use plastic grocery bags).

I mean, a #n plastic may be easily recycled with your curbside pickup, but be a processing issue with mine. I don't know how that can be handled better.
It would make a lot more sense if such a standardized API could exist without intentionally burning an increasing amount of computing resources. Unfortunately it would appear that if this sort of thing is the way things are going, we're stuck with Bitcoin and its appalling wastage.

Frankly, it's becoming increasingly depressing have to watch as technology is continually employed to make the world worse, usually for the benefit of making some people rich.

I'm fully aware of that and read (or at least skimmed) the original papers, thank you :)
Yes, assuming all those positrons started out in your stomach, the actual antimatter wouldn’t add significant energy in comparison. The charge balance stays the same when positrons and electrons collide. So, bigger boom than just an anti mater sandwich, not that you would notice the difference.

Relativity actually makes this worse as the electrons are limited to the speed of light but the charge can keep dumping ever more energy into them until their far enough apart.

Cryptocurrency, namely bitcoin, has lasted 13 years and only looks to be getting stronger and more widely adopted.

Bitcoin's theory, based on its white paper, is that Blockchain offers to remove the middleman, or at least decentralise the middleman. Maybe it won't lower the cost, but it will hopefully spread those costs over a larger group of participants.

> Bodily autonomy? Is that a thing in the law?

By name, no. It’s a popular term which I think maps pretty well to a large and significant subset of “privacy” law under the Supreme Court’s 5th (as applies to the federal government) and 14th (as applies to the States) Amendment “due process” jurisprudence.

> What's the justification for the drugs laws then?

Arguably, none. The only case which has reached the Supreme Court in which I ama aware of the relevant Constitutional argument was kind-of considered against the Controlled Substances Act used it as an argument in the lower courts for Constitutional avoidance (a doctrine under which the courts read ambiguity in laws to favor an interpretation which does not violate the Constitution), and the Court refused to apply it because the law was not ambiguously crafted so as to permit the reading preferred, even if it was Cobstitutionally necessary; because invalidity of the law itself was not argued at the lower court, the Supreme Court declined to consider it for the first time on appeal.

Well when waste is shipped, it is compacted and bailed. If it ends up not in a landfill, recycled or incincerated it is a deliberate act of illegal dumping.
we don't know the long term impact on health of almost anything, weird times we're living.
I haven't blogged about this yet, but we saw a 1000x fold speed-up doing several things around symbolication. The more optimal approach we found was to use the gimli crate[1] directly & carefully optimize it to read in the data structures for the executable(s) you are symbolicating upfront & then issuing in-process queries. They also have a drop-in replacement of addr2line that outperforms it (both in symbolication speed & memory usage).

I am curious about how that compares with libbfd since that wasn't under consideration for us as it uses GPLv3.

A similar philosophical what if:

If there's such a large voltage, would it discharge fast enough that the actual force doesn't matter that much? The extreeeeemly high force is probably commiserate with the extreeeeeeeeemly fast discharge, so you wouldn't build that much kinetic energy.

There'd still be loads of energy, definitely enough to turn you into a cloud of plasma with the 'millions of lightning bolts' he references, but that seems like it's orders of magnitude short to destroy the entire planet.
Use the right tools for the job. I continue to run small to medium scale deployments with a couple dozen containers with Swarm. It's smooth, and just works. Kubernetes would work too, and I use it for newer deployments.

Heck, I use plain old docker-compose to manage production servers with half a dozen containers, trouble-free for a few years now. Compose v2 seems promising, I've been using it for a while and it's pretty stable too.

Swarm could have been an industry in itself, a de-facto standard for orchestration if it had been marketed and supported right. It was a lot more stable than Kubernetes in the early days and things just worked with docker while you'd have to kludge a few things to get Kubernetes doing its thing right.

You are not continuously occupying your home for 22+ years. It might feel like it during the pandemic but you regularly leave. You probably take 2-4 weeks off per year without worrying about if it's going to still be there. If your bathroom stops working you can go to the gym. If the power goes out it's simply inconvenient, but not life threatening.

I'll reiterate; the ISS has been continuously inhabited for 20 years, non-stop, no weekends in the countryside.
No kidding, my thoughts exactly.

No, you don't have to buy it. Even in the impossible event that bitcoin became very successful, your net worth and income should remain unaffected by the price of bitcoin.
I'm hopeful that open processors like RISC will be a big step in solving this. But, then there will still be all that other blob-y, closed hardware like SSDs, network cards, radios. In my humble opinion, there's something wrong with everyone having to use hardware (and software to a slightly lesser extent) that's not auditable and not patchable (by you). There should be a legislative framework for consumer protection.

> Why not just call them out for the bad things and support the good things?

Not just calling them out, Even punishing them(fines) for their mistakes is not even a slap on their wrist at their scale we've seen this happening time and again with all Mega Corps.

There's just no incentive to not do something evil.

So extraordinary scrutiny for every single action seems to be the optimal approach until the governments decide to break Mega Corps. into smaller companies which can actually get hurt from punishments.

> In short, if I lost 1% of my electrons, I would not be a person anymore. I would be a bomb. A Coulomb bomb, if you will, with an energy equivalent to that of ten billion (modern) atomic bombs. Which would surely destroy the planet. All by removing just 1 out of every 100 of my electrons.

The most energy you can extract from any type of bomb would be if it was converted to energy at 100% efficiency.

70kg of mass is equivalent of 1,5GT of TNT.

So still a lot of bombs, but more like 1,5 thousand 1MT bombs and not "10 billions" of them.

I am not a physicist, but I think what this shows is physical impossibility of having 1% of your charge removed and your body still considered to be body even for an infinitesimal amount of time. To do that you would have to add so much energy to your body that just the mass equivalent of energy would have to be many times more than your body.
If you don't override or explicitly delete them you get compiler defaults, which are even more magic and harder for the reader to reason about.

Oh, so now HN suddenly likes electrons?

> Because of my 40 million Coulombs, the force between myself and my “image self” would be something like 10^{20} tons. To give that some perspective, consider that 10^{20} tons is just a bit smaller than the weight of the entire planet earth. So the force pulling me toward the earth would be something like the force of a collision between the earth and the planet Mars.

Unnecessarily heavy imo.

And I'm just going to say, the person you do this to might not have the scientific experience to realize that the electrons are the reason why they can't move anymore and why they've ripped a hole in the vacuum, but they'll still notice the effect, so it's inaccurate to say that they don't care.
