What does packaging have to do with it? The unopened bars are simply left for the next guest. The packaging from the opened ones is already headed to the landfill. This doesn't change that equation at all. The reduction of soap bars headed to the landfill is infinitesimally small, and there's an environmental cost to their inefficient small-scale facility and inefficient delivery mechanism to ship their product to end users. It may be that there's a tiny little net positive environmental effect, but I seriously doubt it. And environmental benefits are an after-the-fact justification, not one of the primary motivators.

This is feel-good whitewashing. There are better things to do. Stop the waste at the source with refillable dispensers. Mandate better packaging or eliminate the packaging entirely.

The problem with things like this is that they make people feel better, make it seem as though something is being done, but don't actually do anything good, and for the cost, are worse than the alternatives. Manufacturers don't have to change packaging and hotels don't have to reduce waste, because for pennies on the dollar, they can point at a program like this, get a PR win, and claim they're doing something. It's not a viable business model, it's not in the best interest of those who ultimately benefit, but it makes "us" feel better and it makes the hotels look better.

Yup. Social media has merely been the "collector and amplifier" of trends and feelings that were already there. The shift back towards mid-20th-century values, the shift away from politeness as it was identified as PC. People who might have festered in silence now find lots (and lots) of similarly-minded people and things grow from there.
Life lessons from growing up homeless and unethical coding
Nix has it's cake and eats it too. You can very easily store multiple versions of glibc (automatically, as a matter of fact) and it will dynamically link the different versions to the applications that require it. All of that happens without the overhead of a sandbox, and runs on everything from Denuvan to Void to Arch to Ubuntu to MacOS.
The question at hand is whether there are opportunities for people to make a living and support a family, not whether everyone can have a dream job. For the majority of humans throughout time, work has never been something that people do because they couldn't think of anything they'd rather be doing. It's always been a means to an end.

Your comment suggests that it's not opportunities that have been lost in recent decades, it's that the younger generations' expectations for what life owes them have changed.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, to a point. But it's not accurate to claim that the lack of dream jobs out there means that there are fewer opportunities for gainful employment than in generations prior.
Humans place a high priority on saving the lives of their countrymen/women, and IMO that makes a lot of sense. It’s not about “hopefully she pays that back in taxes in the future,” it’s “I want to live in a society where, if my life can be saved, we don’t let me die to save money” - or the same for you family, friends, coworkers, etc.

Also worth noting that American healthcare is exceptionally expensive, which may be biasing your view of medical costs. American healthcare costs about double other similar nations, per capita: https://www.cihi.ca/en/how-does-canadas-health-spending-comp...

Whatever it did cost in Norway, it was probably very roughly half what it would have cost in America.
Korea is hardly south of China. Regardless, the term is not supposed to be geographically correct, and to me it is a feature. It's a vague subjective term, as if it's been designed for people to think twice before using it and make their point using a more precise metric instead. That's why I think it's better than "developing nation", which is just as arbitrary but tries to hide that.
1. Healthcare costs in the US are artificially inflated. You can’t compare the two.

2. This is the whole point of insurance. The majority loses money overall, but the outliers win. The point is that the outlier might be you.
This is what I do, just use some word. Don't care so much about the score, just to get it within the allowed guesses. Would be boring to make a recipe.

You could just do "Set-Cookie: visited=true; Max-Age=<interval>". No unique id, but you still can count uniques by checking requests for the lack of that cookie. This cookie is not personal information, and cannot be used to identify a person, not even indirectly, and thus needs no consent. This is basically what most those "cookie banners" do anyway, set a preferences cookie - that cannot be linked back to a person, if done properly.

Or if you want to avoid the cookie altogether, you could use some static, cachable resource with a cache expiration date. Basically the good old counting pixel. Almost the same as the non-identifying cookie, except caches are more likely to be automatically evicted by browsers.
Totally agree. I don't understand what the mechanism of values "trickling down" is meant to be. In my experience, none of the people "downstream" care or are even at all aware of what the "upstream" elites think. Like, is the claim really that the deadbeat dad in his 30s mentioned in the OP got his values from an academic seminar on family formation? It's incoherent...
They certainly can provide uniqueness to some degree. GoatCounter [1] does that.

Your comments upthread were better; here you're just flinging polarizing labels and showing a massive lack of empathy for people who live a wholly different existence than you (and incidentally generally don't post on hackernews). "Defund the police" was dumb, but if you're gonna sink to trolling to "own the libs", then downvotes are going to rightly turn the volume down on it.
I got it, and I think my point still stands. Some of the problem here is Poe's Law:

> every parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied

I could tell you were being sarcastic, but the fact remains your said what you said. Sarcasm is great for tearing bad things down, but useless for building anything to replace it.

I am not a fan of this Clippy shit either, but I can see value in things I don't like. The world needs more nuance, not less. And the world needs people to be willing to explain the nuance, not serve it as an inside joke for those who already get it.

I don't really see that industry has rejected Haskell at all. Haskell target simply wasn't (or isn't) industry. You can't really be rejected if you aren't trying to get into that niche. And Haskell has seen significant industrial use. So they succeeded at something they didn't even want to succeed at.
Sort of.

Many trades here in Australia spent two decades employing apprentices in insufficient numbers, for whatever reasons, to meet projected requirements.

Now we have insufficient tradespeople to meet demand, blowing out wait times to things like "not gonna happen this year mate" to repair a roof, and 7 months to fabricate new windows. The builders, roofers, and glaziers that do exist would prefer to work on green fields developments where they can do the same thing 50 times without moving their tools and equipment further than next door, so prices on minor repairs to existing houses have increased by a factor of "don't want the work, multiple the cost by five and quote at that" and that capacity is being eaten up by people borrowing $700,000 to fully renovate.

It doesn't help that the building and fabrication trades have been run almost entirely by obnoxiously unbearable pricks, and when you spend twenty years telling everyone bullying isn't ok, is it any wonder young people don't want to do physically demanding work in terrible conditions working with obnoxiously unbearable pricks? When it's -10 degrees C outside, it's minus -10 in your work environment, when it's 40 plus degrees C it's 40 plus degrees in your work environment, and people rarely make big changes to themselves, so here we are.
A huge number of website operators either don't have access to these logs or wouldn't know how to access them. And even given access, grep'ing a log file gives you far less rich information than a Google Analytics dashboard.
I didn't say anything about message privacy, but it's still strictly better than Facebook because Discord "profiles" feature nothing except a username (which, unlike Facebook, is not required to be your legal name), an avatar, a profile banner, and 190 characters worth of freeform markdown. And unlike Facebook, it doesn't pester you to ever add personal information. A company can't store private information that it never has to begin with. By all means, if you want message privacy, use a service that offers end-to-end encryption, which isn't Discord. (But keep in mind that end-to-end encrypted group chat (as in, not strictly one-to-one) is an impossible and unsalvageable UX boondoggle.)
It seems to me like you are describing inspiration and not motivation, when discussing internal motivation.

Motivation is the why of what you are doing, inspiration is the Eye of the Tiger montage when you are doing something that seems to go well.

Your motivation for brushing your teeth may for example be to avoid a trip to the dentist.

Straight hetero male here confirming. Too much work for real relationships and kids and marriage and all that. Much easier to just date around, get laid, and bail if things ever get hard.

I fully believe (though despise) the harsh but true evidence that I have seen in my life. Love is a lie, children are a burden, the future is bleak, etc. I would love to live in a world of community, great for kids, having a family is awesome, etc., but that's not where we live. Best to live for short-term rewards and after I die let the rest of the humans destroy themselves. I won't add another person to the madness.

When you can see that nothing we can do can derail the train headed for the cliff, and that the game theory at play has reduced relationships to transactional, short-lived interactions, you can choose to "hope for the best" and get burned, or just check out, try to enjoy your short term by working as little as possible in the machine, and then ending it if you get too old/sick to enjoy anymore.

A good example is just watching the lib/conserv and pro/anti male sentiments in this thread. It just makes it glaringly obvious that seriously participating in this system is an exercise in futility.

Its kinda like starting a game of monopoly with all the spaces owned. I'm gonna role the dice and I assume I'm not getting ahead. But I'm sure as hell not going to get invested, invite more people to play, or do more to enrich the bastards who setup such a crappy game in the first place.
I think access logs as generated by most web servers require a GDPR notice to be compliant, as IP addresses are considered personal information.
I pay roughly the same proportion of my income here than in France: a big month of salary. ( just a wildly different salary … )

In France I do it happily, we get so much in return. From social redistribution to infrastructure.

Here, oh god, I understand why the average murican hates taxes and government : they get close to nothing in return.

In regards to States balancing their budget. It’s tempting to think that what is good for a individual is good for the state.
Let’s just say I subscribe to Keynesian economics, so I’m fine with a state spending.
> If it was the 19th century and I observed that most women who took the bar exam passed the bar exam, would that prove that men and women were on an equal footing?

It would require other evidence (of which there is plenty, for the 19th century legal training pipeline, including explicit institutional discrimination) to show the bias.

But other evidence isn't just an unsupported narrative.
Whether G is hard or B is hard depends on whether you're going high-to-low or low-to-high, as the issue is the interval between them, so it's just a matter of which one you're using as a known-good reference and which one you're trying to tune. There's an easier solution than taking multiple passes as you play different chords: see my other comment.
I actually made a Wordle variant me and my family have been playing that prevents you using a word you have ever used before (unless it is that day's word). It's a really small tweak and it takes a while to have any impact, but it makes the game so much more interesting for me. (jezzamon.com/wordle if anyone wants to try it)

No idea if it'll become unplayable eventually but I'm having fun seeing it play out as more and more common words get locked out
I have a 3" pocket slide rule that belonged to my grandfather.
Interestingly it's still possible to do this. I'd cite the Behringer D, which has managed to get surprisingly close to the Minimoog; I've owned and disassembled a Behringer D.

At least with the one I had, it was designed in such a way that it continued to use the primitive electronic parts found in a real Minimoog, and key components such as rotary switches were designed to be similar to what the original device would have. The modern assumption is that all these things can be redesigned to handle barely the energy required by the waveform being passed: microminiaturized SMD components you'd get in cellphones, on microscopic traces. Behringer used some of the SMD components, but sourced others to be more like what you'd get in the old gear: wildly, wildly overspecced, so the waveform wold go through a switch that could pass two or three amps of current.

I've also seen a guitar compressor (from a different company, but you know Behringer is just as capable of making one this way, or taking their earlier designs and optimizing for cost once it's established), which was clearly designed like a cellphone. It was a flyspeck of a circuit, rather beautiful to look at in its tininess and elegance: I tried to play bass guitar through it and had to get rid of it as it sounded simply awful, taking away all of the instrument's tone. Not all of this was due to coupling capacitors designed to be as small as possible, though some of it was. Some of it was the sheer miniaturization of all components. This is never found in the 'vintage gear' or the modern stuff that matches it.

You can never design audio gear around only the bare limits of what is 'meant to be there'. It's a trap, there's a lot of success to be had in excess capacity to carry tone and sound. Interestingly, it's still really cheap and easy to go the 'vintage design' way, even if you're also using microcontrollers and SMD and all…
To me this reads like an opinion piece that will date quickly. Though the problem it identifies certainly exists.

> At the event, Parkinson stressed the importance of stability and two-parent families for children.

As oppose to a single parent that needs to work all the time, sure. But just read a few anthropology books, every possible combination of family and child raising method has worked in the past. Children raised in a small village, or extended family seems like it would be even better than a some modern concept of a traditional family where one member works and other cares for the house and children. In the UK the popular opinion in Victorian times was that children should not be shown affection because it would make them weak. Or even continuing to this day that the upper class don't really involve themselves with the child rearing too much - nannies and boarding schools. Probably that's another rearing method that's quite poor https://bylinetimes.com/2021/04/28/boris-johnson-is-a-boardi...

Not pure-play reader, but shoutout to start.me, I've been using it for years now. The idea is to customize your one-stop start page (with to-do-lists, weather,...). I use it for 90% RSS plus some market data, it's actually my main source of news (including for HN).
I don't believe this to be a good thing. If voting differently doesn't make a difference, then why vote? Is it actually a democracy if elections don't have any impact?

Just as an example: in Germany there is now a SPD led government, with the Greens and the FDP, after a long time of CDU led government. Many people voted to see some real changes, e.g. when it comes to environmental policies or social topics like wealth gaps, low minimum wage, ...
If after 4 years of an SPD led government, the people don't see and feel any real change, the only thing they can do is move to more extremist parties.

There is also some weird mental gymnastics going on when it comes to the power of the state. During the election campaigns, all candidates promise big changes. Once elected, they will tell you that they don't have the power to actually do it, and claim some outside forces are stopping them. People also at the same time expect politicians to be able to mage big changes, but don't actually believe that it is possible.
The only big changes I can remember that were actually made were mostly negative.
Food in general is a poison that is slowly killing you via the byproducts of metabolism.

Meat that is raw puts you at great risk for food-borne illness. Meat that is cooked is full of carcinogens and advanced glycation end products. Almost all meat readily available in the West has very high levels of hormones, bioaccumulated pesticides at higher levels than plants, etc.
If she wasn’t using those resources, would the country have saved all that much? These folks were all employed and working, ready for less extraordinary situations, and thus available for a situation like this.
I totally understand, I can't still make the bed or do procrastinate with many things. Would it be better if I somehow tricked myself into doing them by delegating the decision making process into a third-party? If this worked, maybe. But these tools never work on me as I feel I'm being tricked and get stressed/annoyed even more. I understand everyone is different, but if anyone out there is like me, I'd suggest trying to make your peace with yourself and with all the cool projects you abandon. or get stressed enough that maybe you can change yourself :) If you're depressed, get help!
One thing they do not mention is a stringed instrument creates a standing wave which produces many octaves simultaneously when playing a single note. This sounds considerably different from a pure sine wave and is possible to leverage in a creative way on guitar/guitar like instruments.
My strategy is to never use the same start word, I like using a random word each time as that changes the path to solving. I might pick a random word from another open browser window, maybe from a news article or something like that. If I get stuck after the second or third try, I'll pick another random word, even if it contains a few discarded letters in order to ferret out 1 or 2 more valid letters.

For me, the best part of Wordle is not in finding the answer but in the steps prior as I work out the path to solving the correct answer.

Volunteer random information or targeted information for who you want your character to be. Never volunteer personal information unless you want your character connected to your person.
No, my entire comment is about tuning a typical fretted guitar. Playing a unison as you say, and turning the peg until beating completely disappears, yields integer ratios instead of equal temperament ratios. The result of that can sound nicer than equal temperament for some keys/chords but terrible for other keys/chords.

> I suspect that Mozilla looks at the telemetry and very few people use containers

The UX for using containers is abysmal, so no fucking wonder. This is the problem with "data-driven" design, it falls for the McNamara Fallacy. It's an over-reliance on 'scientific and objective' quantitative metrics while aggressively ignoring qualitative considerations and analysis. You'll never achieve excellence like this.
Facebook has no way of actually verifying that you are a parent, so I hope nobody is relying on that to provide any sense of security. And my experience with Google+ is that a real-name policy is a woefully naive way of trying to filter out the maniacs; plenty of deranged people have no qualms about having their actions associated with their legal identities.

I don’t understand how you get from family instability to sexual identity confusion. Can you explain the connection and preferably substantiate it with data.

The gist of what you’re saying is true: family instability causes one to question their identity. You fixated on sexual identity so explain why.

Does this "reject all" accept the "legitimate uses" which very clearly break GDPR?

Most GDPR dialog windows I've encountered have made it harder to opt out of what they incorrectly claim to be "legitimate interests". According to GDPR, a "legitimate interest" has very clear requirements, which are by no means met. This "legitimate interests" very often includes things like "creating a personalized add profile and tying it to external data lakes and devices", which is by no means necessary in order to provide the service.

I'm waiting for what has become the de-facto abuse of GDPR to have a serious reckoning.
