I agree with the spirit behind your comment, but:

> The EU estimates those costs for plastic at about 800 EUR ($950) a ton.

This sounds surprisingly little. In this range, making companies paid up front will have negligible impact on their behavior. Rounding up to $1000 / ton of plastic, that'll come out as few cents for most products. E.g. quick Googling suggests that an empty 2L bottle of Coca Cola weighs about 50 grams, making such tax translate to $0.05 extra cost to company/consumer. That's negligible, and well within the range of the usual business shenanigans companies do with prices.
Ask HN: What are your thoughts on the r/collapse community
I recently as stumbled upon this community on Reddit. If you're not familiar they bill themselves as "
Discussion regarding the potential collapse of global civilization, defined as a significant decrease in human population and/or political/economic/social complexity over a considerable area, for an extended time."

I imagine there are many people who visit both that can provide context as well.

The general sentiment there seems to align roughly with the general mood I see across reddit and other social media among millennial/genz crowd which is why I'm posting this, because it's more than just one doom and gloom containment sub, it's what I see a lot of people are feeling/expecting due to changes we are observing, rational or not.

Now I'm not fully on board with thinking society is going to collapse but it does feel like things are growing unstable. It's hard to recognize if this is just a symptom of being too-online or not.

Probably? Do you have a source for that claim? Show me evidence that the NSA pressured for silicon level back doors.

Right. I think the concerns actually played out exactly as feared. Hospitals filled up with people sick with Covid, health care system got overwhelmed, everyone is at heightened risk due to the difficulty in getting treated for anything.

The point of getting vaccinated is not to protect yourself, as much as to protect your community. I view people who won't take the vaccine because they perceive their personal risk as low to be selfish. Additionally, anyone who won't get vaccinated because they don't want anyone else to tell them what to do is childish.

Recently ... where was I, Eugene, Oregon? There was a shuttered Coca Cola bottling plant. I remember a huge one in Kansas City as well. Maybe someone with expertise can weigh in — but it seems like we used to, as an example, bottle things a lot more locally. It meant factory jobs in the area, transportation (of Coke) was shorter since there was probably a bottling plant in your state (or a neighboring one).

I don't know. I feel a lot was lost.

Having unused parameters is super common, especially when using function-pointer-based APIs like qsort.

> If certain kinds of transactions are currently cheaper, it's due to lack of regulation

I just can't see any truth in that statement, but admittedly I'm probably looking at it from a different angle to you.

Cryptocurrency cuts out the middleman in a transaction, or at least minimises the cost and 'touch' of a middleman, and that's where the cheaper-ness comes from - no vampiric-squid-encircling-the-globe sized multi-national taking its monopolistic percentage. That's my angle. The behaviour of said percentage-takers over the last century haven't exactly made regulation the saviour of the common citizenry either.
The vast majority of extant public APIs in the wild today. Internally, people write a lot of services that process records from Kafka topics, SQS queues, emails, file uploads, etc. The ecosystem already exists and is in need of tooling.

I don't see that at all, and why would they? AsyncAPI is leveraging OpenAPI's status as a de facto standard tool for synchronous REST APIs to promote itself as a complementary standard tool for async APIs. It wouldn't benefit them to denigrate OpenAPI.

I've wondered for a while why we don't use electrostatic forces more. Electrostatic motors and electrostatic speakers do exist but they are very rare compared to the ubiquitous magnetic types. It seems like it should be possible to make a really good electrostatic muscle for robots.

I’ve never seen a big problem with things like SSDs or sensors and likewise parts having their own blobs. Sure, it’d be nice if you can poke around in them, but they don’t have DMA and they have no way to communicate with the outside world.

> As it is right now, the only reason to take the vaccine is not to feel covid symptoms / reduce the damage to your organs by covid, which is a decent reason.

Well, no

It reduces severity and incidence of disease. Yes, you can still get covid if you encounter SARS-Cov-2. But you are less likely to. And if you are less likely to get the disease, you reduce the risk of infection to others.
> Products would be considered recyclable if CalRecycle, the state’s recycling department, determines they have a viable end market and meet certain design criteria, including not using toxic chemicals.

I think that's reasonable. If a particular material is viable for recycling but many facilities can't handle it, CalRecycle can work with them to resolve the issue. They'll probably update the standard every few years, so producers don't need to worry about the rules changing every week as market prices fluctuate.

It's certainly better than allowing companies to slap a recycling symbol on any kind of plastic just because the technology to recycle it exists somewhere in the world.
They have a deadline profile available for threads, and plans to implement an actual deadline scheduler. So, this is confusing.

What does your bazel tooling look like? We use postgres and bazel together in automated tests and I'm curious about how others start and manage postgres instances in similar scenarios. Currently were driving postgres from Python (py.test) while running tests.

The issue with our current approach is that we need to keep the bazel tests fairly coarse (e.g., one bazel test for dozens of python tests) to keep the overhead of starting postgres instances down.

The French government tried to tackle this issue. This lead to months of yellow-vest protests, close to a revolution at times. Some dude forced the door of a ministry with a bulldozer. Others set fire to a prefecture. Death threats everywhere. Small Guillotines were built. Etc. The protests were sill rocking after a year, and were put to a temporary stop due to COVID lock-down.

tl;dr: nobody would dare decrease the speed limits again.

> Exported plastic waste virtually entirely goes into landfills overseas, or is incinerated.

You are just hoping this is the case. With absolutely no way to verify this, you are just spreading more misinformation. I can attest from personal experience that many of those countries are hopelessly inept, corrupt, and unable to handle the entire incoming volume. They can't even handle their own "domestically produced"[1] garbage.

The facts are that an estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans every year, with the majority of that waste coming from the exact same countries to which the US exports its plastic waste. There are definitely unscrupulous importers who just dump the crap right back into the ocean.

[1] Of course, most of these countries are not producing their own local plastic. They are actually importing those goods too! We sell them food wrapped in garbage, and pure garbage too. What a deal for them!

Yes, I am aware that Aikido is radically different from most other martial arts (some dojos do practice a sort of "freeflow randori" but it's usually just having many ukes throwing attacks at you, and there is not much resistance to your techniques... and in any case it never really dominate the lesson in terms of time).

Regarding your answer: personally I think this is a sort of paradox which cannot really be solved when teaching "how to fight": if I go to a "translator school" I will dedicate lots of time in actually translate texts.
There will always be a practically infinite quantity of German texts to pick up, and I am expected to always tackle each with full energy and apply any trick I know.
At the same time, there will never be a German text that will sue me from its hospital bed, or send the police to arrest my teachers and close down the school on Manslaughter charges.

Even if we look at fighting arts/sports that were designed to freely apply full force (e.g. Judo) what you learn there is targeted to face an opponent which is wearing Judo Federation approved garb, is alone and is in your same weight class and probably level of expertise.
And there is at least a referee around, fight happens on a sort of "consecrated ground" etc. etc.

Good point.

My wife and I went through a period of trying to maximally reuse otherwise disposable packaging we had around the house, and we quickly discovered two facts:

1. There's surprisingly many things you can use disposable containers for around the house.

2. Even if you go out of your way to find more uses for the waste, in a month or two you'll just run out of applications.

The problem of consumer waste is that it's a continuous flow of trash. At-home reuse is not a sink, it's a buffer - it fills up quickly, so it doesn't alter the overall dynamic of the system.

Any waste reuse scheme needs to recirculate it on the market - new products need to be put in old packaging.
You, umm, answer your own accusation in the same paragraph:

Don't worry, there's a lot of progress being made if you keep up with the industry news.
And materials may not be the biggest problem! That should be "RAMI RAMI RAMI" (Reliability Availability Maintainability Inspectability).

Paper studies of fusion reactor designs given an availability figure, but this is mere aspiration, chosen because that number is necessary, not because it known to be achievable. The few actual studies of how available a fusion power plant would be (using MTBF and MTTR figures from related technologies) have come to very troubling conclusions: the plant may be operating just a few percent of the time. Getting fusion technology to the point where working reactors aren't perpetually down for repair is even more important than developing materials tolerating higher neutron displacements-per-atom (because it's hard to do the latter without the former). This requires building an experience base with all the kinds of things that will go into a fusion reactor. It also argues for making fusion reactors as small as possible (so there are fewer things to break); this is probably the best argument for these small high field devices (but an even better argument for high-beta plasma configurations).
The difficult thing isn't the concept of a function being defined in terms of itself, but translating between iterative and recursive versions of the same algorithm. Recursive algorithms can feel "backwards" when you're used to iteration. Real-world procedures are much more likely to be described iteratively than recursively.
India's got the next big thing in tech, and it could be worth $1T
A lot of beer bottles conform to an industry standard (the ones with paper labels where anyone can slap their own label) and get reused. However, the reuse frequency is from 15 to 20 times before they begin to fail inspection tests and have to be taken out of circulation (and recycled or dumped). Recycling that glass is expensive. The big advantage of glass from a consumer pov is that its inert and does not react with contents.

20 million requests per second from a single beefy AWS server is easy to detect and block.

If your site normally has 10,000 users per day and suddenly you’re flooded with 200,000 additional IP addresses hammering at your site, you have a problem.

To put it in perspective, the top post on HN most of yesterday was about someone benchmarking their personal server as being able to handle about 5 million requests per day (Granted, that’s quite slow, but it will suffice for making a point). This botnet can deliver 4X that server’s total daily capacity every second.

> I'm not sure that's the same problem. I think Parent means that beef from elsewhere arrives in Ireland, is processed there and becomes 'Irish beef', which is clearly a bit of a stretch of the truth.

The problem is that it isn't true - the 100% British & Irish beef is actually beef from Britain & Ireland. It's a myth that it's the company name.

English & Irish law on the country of origin of products is pretty strong and certinally does not allow processed beef from other countries to be labelled/marketed as British. Also a 5 minute google search shows this is just simply an urban legend.
