As other commenters have mentioned, most of the mismanaged plastic comes from developing countries, which aren't exactly paragons of good governance and civil activism. Therefore I'm very skeptical that your policy proposal would actually reduce pollution from mismanaged plastic in any meaningful way. It might be the righteous choice, but if you care about stopping plastic from entering oceans it's a horrible proposal.

>That was the original proposal in the EC before the lobbyists watered it down to this farce of the ban on q tips and straws.

And how much of EU plastic waste is mismanaged?
Same rule applies to Microsoft Access.
>> [...] cognitive notion of a continuum is not at all difficult to grasp. The difficulties arise only when trying to communicate, for example by naming or describing all the real numbers. But one can understand [...]

Notice that one can do a very similar analysis after replacing "continuum" with "rules of the game of chess" and "naming or describing all real numbers" with "name or describing all positions which could occur in a chess game". You don't need uncountable infinities, topological oddities of R, subtle but deep differences from how the real world works, etc. to get out to where humans aren't all that good at understanding things.
LET is a great syntactic improvement, but the UI is still the same. I'd love if the formula box supported the basic things one expects from a code editor, like syntax highlighting, formatting, indentation, comments, etc.
Note that pigs are sexually mature around 1 year old, so their generations are rather shorter than ours (especially domesticated pigs, which we tend to kill young). If it took pigs 500 years to lose their fur, it might have taken humans 10,000.
Technically, you can launch a write-in campaign. Realistically, no one is voting for you to be on a major corporate board without some prior experience or connections. You can get started on non-profit boards. I've served on the board of a federal credit union for over seven years.

You need to understand what value you can bring to a board. That's generally going to be domain experience or industry connections. In the non-profit world (esp. arts and education), you may need to bring some money as well. Additionally, figure out what you want from your time on the board. If you're just there for the "$5000 martinis," you're in for a rude awakening.

There is nothing inherently stopping Iran or North Korea to build a few dozen MIRV-capable missiles.
Not exactly "roaming in the town", but just last week I was talking with someone that remembered how - in the late 1950's or early '60's - her family (in Tuscany countryside) had usually three or four pigs that were routinely brought (by her, at the time 8 or 9 years old) to the nearby woods and it happened more than once that one of them would flee and get to the village, and be later brought back by this or that neighbour.
From the article:

Personally, I think the dichotomy between hypothesis-testing and likelihood-quantification is a false one. The “P=0.05” cutoff we use to “reject” a hypothesis is an arbitrary one. When I read papers, I never “accept” or “reject” hypotheses but rather consider likelihood quantification as a measure of the weight of evidence or a distance of the data from some null hypothesis, as measured by some statistic. I encourage everyone else to consider this probabilistic worldview when viewing our paper: we aimed to quantify probabilities of this system occurring in nature, and P-values were convenient and commonly understood ways of communicating quantiles.

This paragraph does a lot of lifting. Conflating p-values and probabilities is the science equivalent of a code smell.
A bit of searching online and it seems that this website is being spammed by a person with a not-so-well state of mind (possible mental illness), due to the grandiose advertising and spamming across platforms. The way it's presented also smells of the way schizophrenics present their projects. It would be nice to be proven otherwise, but there are many such cases. This also further contrasts my point: https://old.reddit.com/r/science/comments/ycfwfs/turning_dow...

One-off tests in ideal conditions work 50% of the time. Sooo if we have enough nuclear weapons to kill everyone on earth 4 times over that means in an ideal case we only all die twice?

Of course they probably won’t all launch at once. Maybe half of nuclear weapons are in hands of the three likely parties.

So maybe half get launched. In the shit show of a full-scale nuclear exchange you can predict less than perfect performance (also I’d guess countermeasures are better than advertised on both sides since countermeasures are 1,000x cheaper than intercept measures). Then again some will fail to launch since global corruption has undermined effectiveness broadly.

The numbers get fuzzy, but it’s looking like everybody still dies. Best case maybe most of the northern hemisphere is unlivable.

A recent study shows that even a limited nuclear exchange will toss up so much ash as to reduce agricultural yields and starve a billion people. Let’s say it’s not a limited exchange and food production is down to 25% of normal.

I suppose the number who starve would be lower if half of the planet were already dead. Then again there hasn’t been a study of what would happen to the global economy and food system if large parts of the world were rendered radioactive wasteland (my gut says it’s not going to survive such a shock). I suspect food shipping wouldn’t continue as normal. So almost everyone dies and the rest fight over the insufficient remaining food.

Whee! I’m coming around to the “die in the first blast” strategy.
There is more at play here than just an interesting experiment.

The dramatic claims of the paper are not supported by experiments present. They highlight a real pattern, but that is far from proving SC2 being of synthetic origin. A better approach would have been waiting for peer review, probably getting dinged on speculative conclusions, softening the language and then publishing in a peer reviewed journal

Instead they juked the review and posted on a pre-print with speculative language intact. There is no time pressure, they could have waited a few months to have outside eyes on it. I think they knew their conclusion was a reach and wanted to get it out there anyway for the twitter clout.

Having contrarians in science is helpful because they will always tilt at windmills, and sometimes succeed, but usually not. But that's why review is so important. It should have been reviewed by three experts before publishing. Instead they chose to have peer-review be public, by thousands of people, many of whom are not experts. They made their bed.
That article also includes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinta_Senese#/media/File:Ambro... which is an actual medieval picture with a very recognizable Cinta Senese pig in it. Which is a testimony that at least some medieval pigs looked exactly like that.
Well, it's not exactly the only blog post on this site about medieval pigs. At the bottom of the post there is a link to their other posts about those animals[0], of which there are 12 at this moment.
It seems like some medievalists at Universiteit Leiden are interested in pigs, and that looking at medieval video game pigs is just one of the ways they talk about them.

Hmmm, am I wrong in understanding that, by pretending leap seconds don't exist, the unix time actually represents how many seconds passed rather than what time time is now?

It's the other way around: Unix time pretends every day has exactly 86,400 seconds, and consequently, you can calculate the current time of day by taking the respective modulus.

However, this comes at the cost that the difference between two unix timestamps does not yield a duration in seconds in general.

> I see smoke, but the fire department has not confirmed that there’s a fire. Therefore, there’s no fire, and ideology is the only reason I might believe?

In this example you cold point to the smoke as first-hand evidence. Can you point to equivalent evidence that people are underreporting crimes?

I'm only asking to see evidence showing underreporting, a claim you made. No ideology here.
I think it's easier for the concept of farming to evolve as technology advances, than the production of food not being called farming anymore. Food made in labs could be considered farming, yeast cultures like the ones in Asimov's Foundation could too.

As the sibling comment mentions, only things like Star Trek's replicator could be considered beyond farming, as you're using the same pool of resources used to other activities besides feeding. In this case, farming and mining would be interchangeable.
I was responding to Supermancho's comment "nuke right out side the defense range will do enough secondary damage".

Assuming the nuke could detect that it was about to be destroyed, and so detonated, would it still be able to do damage?

Or, if the max altitude for Iron Dome were known, and the nuke set off just above that range, what damage would it do?

The third tier of the missile defense system (destruction during boost, coast, or descent; descent is the third) is meant to avoid Supermancho's scenario.
It's a catch all metaphor. Most likely we will see some version of fortress Europe and the US devolving to frontier economy. Frontex is already getting bigger budgets, more boots on the ground and better kit with each passing year.
So you judged the science based on spelling in source code comments?
In fact, the formalization of calculus (and in particular, continuity and differentiability via limits) came about because people had different intuition about “continuous” functions.

I would say the implications of a continuum versus a dense cloud of rationals is incredibly unintuitive.

Our intention is to offer constructive criticism of Meta's product vision, not a sour attitude. Meta is marketing the Quest Pro as a productivity device, but to us it doesn't seem to have much teeth: it can't replace someone's laptop, requires WiFi tethering to a host machine to be used as a VR Desktop machine, caps the # of screens it can emulate to 5, and has poor pixel density.

Are these not fair things to point out?
But just like we’ve now come to accept again, through modern productions, that horses’ hooves don’t sound like coconut when running on dirt, we might start accepting that medieval pigs looked different.

Lithium and Cobalt do not disappear in the air, nor the atoms become "used". Just melt the old batteries, purify Lithium and Cobalt, and make new one.
I assume in the grand scheme of things that some prices would go up and some down on both the buy and sell side and ultimate work out in the end.

For example the water could only get so expensive before desalinization becomes cost effective. Also all the things California grows and sells to the rest of the country would include the price of water.
I do not believe it's nitpicking. I was supporting the post you replied to (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33313036), which claimed that git indeed does not have review tools, and that the review tools/flows are and should be external to git. You claimed otherwise, and I argued that you were incorrect in that claim.

Isn't that what discussion board is for? I agree that this particular topic is not life-and-death important, but still worth discussing, IMHO. If you think otherwise, just walk away, you do not owe anybody anything.
Yeah it surprises me that 10 euros seems to be the minimum for pretty much every online service now.

For 10 euro you can get Netflix, Spotify. My Ring security subscription is also a tenner. Pretty much everything that has a subscription model targets 10 euro as a minimum. I don't really know why, all these tenners add up a lot. I'm even dropping Spotify now some months (especially because when I drop it, the next month they offer me 3 months for a tenner to come back, which I find a lot more reasonable as I don't use it much).

Kagi does really sound like it is easier to provide and should not cost as much. It feels like they are expecting super-heavy users. Their 50 free searches a month is not enough for me but I could probably do with 100 or 200. But there is no intermediate subscription, it's just 50 free or unlimited for a tenner.

The CDC reported 75% of kids had it after Omicron, and that is likely under-counting since many kids are asymptomatic. My kids have had it twice but don't show up in the official numbers since they didn't even go to the doctor for an official diagnosis.

School closures were not justified (at least publicly) as just reducing spread to others. Most areas had bars and restaurants open with schools closed. If it was just about reducing overall spread--that is a pretty unjustifiable stance to take.

> Eg. I've seen people convince a public company executives to do strategy X based on analysis Y. Then when things aren't going as promised I get asked to review the strategy, I might find some elaborate model where somewhere deep in the layers of math/logic/lookups, someone divided instead of multiplied or something like that.

Is it Excel-specific though? I've made these kinds of errors with Excel (though not with stakes this high). I've also made them a lot when doing math on paper. And I've also made them in C++, Common Lisp, Matlab, Python, R and JavaScript. Now, with those other tools, it's easier to spot an error in a formula on review - but in Excel, it's easier to spot the intermediary results being off, so it's a wash.

I think the thing to learn is to be more careful, to sanity-check intermediary calculations; these kinds of errors are about being momentarily confused, and will happen regardless of the tool you use.
I could have written your comment myself.

When I was a kid, my neighbours in the 70s were exactly who you're referring to. An Asian-Ugandan couple who worked and worked and spent everything on their two daughters, who were a bit older than me. One went to a grammar school, the other to... private school, because that's what they could afford. In fact, the daughter that went to private school was the only kid in my area that did.
Wait I thought Turkeys were from near Turkey.
On a side note, I wish that I was still on the Firefox Mobile Fennec engine... instead of Fennix.

Well, my dad wrote sophisticated engineering programs for mini's, and taught me to program BASIC, but now he needs me to get his new laptop to print on wifi, and install a weather app on his Android phone. The world is quite a bit different from 40 years ago, and you do have to put in some effort to keep up with the changing paradigms, but I think that effort is up to each of us. What I worry about is being able to see the screen, and type. As long as I can still do both, I will probably never retire.
Sorry that happened. I have same feeling about vsco. Paid for the presets back in the day and now they are behind a log in screen and subscription.

It can’t be hard to curate and edit the output of the AIs. I imagine that is already happening. AI does the heavy lifting making the cost of production possibly an order of magnitude lower. Couple that with some other AI tools like unifying voice across many sections and fixing grammar mistakes, a nation-state could create a very effective propaganda machine to manipulate their enemies with basic language proficiency.
You have no idea about how much Tuscan municipialities care about medieval pigs, especially if they can get a protected designation of origin out of them (also not everyone is willfully ignorant, but I support accurate medieval pigs in videogames, too).
I use ZFS (4 x 2TB drivers in mirror mode = 4TB pool) for my backup system since 2014. I never had to "learn" anything ZFS related, the interface is fairly simple if you're familiar with CLI apps and the documentation for ZFS is crystal clear. The system overall is very easy to reason about. Works in a "set-and-forget" mode for me, every now and then I create, destroy or resize some volumes. I had to swap a broken HDD and re-silver once in 5 years it was two hours work IIRC.
Your right how can those rural proles not see the superiority of concentrating all of our resources in a single location, or the advantages created by utilizing JIT supply chains. Don't they realize real wealth is created by complicated financial schemes that result in offshoring everything to foreign nations. These foolish flyover staters they probably think wealth is created by doing foolish things like building cars, or manufacturing goods. They don't understand that real value is created by creating a platform that allows people to arbitrage information asymmetry to better deliver metric based behavior analysis of wider demographic trends in order to capitalize on emphemeral market fluctuations?

Foolish rural hicks.

Yeah, not really.. the argument still stand..

KF can still have their servers and have the site running on then.. They can also go out and install cables connecting their servers to other people for then to access it if they want.. They are allowed to implement their own parallel stack on the side and have 100% control over it as long as they can afford it..

What is happening is that in order to cut those costs they need to use the existing stack and have other companies grab the content from their servers and deliver to other people screens, but other people do not want KF content in their network in any way.. something entirely in their right..

In the end of the day, if they went all the way up the stack and still cannot find a single other company in the whole world willing to work with them it honestly say more about them then it say about the world..
> Garbage is burned as fuel too

This is ideal, at least in arc and high temperature, scrubbed plants (because plastic recycling takes more energy than burning it cleanly.)

But you likely intended burned less as fuel and more as a disposal method.
Garbage is burned as fuel in developed countries too, e.g. https://www.viridor.co.uk/energy/energy-recovery-facilities/...

I don't know of good figures on how much worse it is to burn plastic rather than wash and reuse it.
If I didn’t cut my yard for a year I wouldn’t need a mower, I’d need a large brush-clearing tractor. It’s already almost impossible to cut with a mower after four to five weeks.
My understanding is that domesticated pigs quickly revert to growing fur and tusks within months when feral - effectively becoming more like the pictures in the article.

I wonder what causes this change to their “natural” appearance when raised in captivity.
WHOAH.

Was not expecting the level of animosity for this app. The last update in August apparently forced a ton of ads on the interface, even if people had paid subscriptions that would remove ads.

Absolute trash. In their boundless greed, Google decided to force endlessly cycling ads onto the home screen, and had the temerity to highlight it as a feature. I give two @$#@$# about the content they are highlighting, from a Christmas movie (in July) to the latest teen pablum. Pretty sure I had automatic updates disabled, and that was overwritten without my consent (with no way to roll back to the prior version). I took a chance on the Android ecosystem with this device (NVIDIA shield), and that's the last time I make that mistake. I'll be tossing that out and not looking back...

Unbelievable. They added unremovable ads right in the home screen. The "Staff Picks" takes over the top 30% of your screen advertising random videos from apps that I don't ever want to install. No way to turn off. How quickly my $2k TV turned from pleasant to ad infested junk. The only solution I had was was to uninstall updates in App manager. If this is the future of Android TV, I'm certainly not buying another TV with this OS again.

I paid a hefty sum for a top-end TV, then again for the most expansive TV box one can find, and what did I get? Ads! Ads that blink and distract. Ads that take more than a third of the screen, pushing what I want to see on the second page. Ads for movies I cannot be less interested in, on services I have absolutely no intention to subscribe to. Ads that have been trying to sell me the exact same three movies in genres I don't care about since they appeared. Evil greedy corporation at its worst.
