> Will soon be throwing out liquid body wash and moisturizers, and replace with simpler oils

What are you planning on doing?

I stopped using the Dr Bronner's liquid soap and switched to the their bar soap. For a while I was using the same soap for my hair and then I was doing a "rinse" (apple cider vinegar + some oils) but I got lazy and stopped. I might pick that back up again.

HN could do a better title, it seems almost like it's clickbait. The original article title is "Brave debuts privacy-preserving ads in its search engine" - so the HN title kind of implies the opposite.

I think paying for content / services is the only way out of.. this. This thing we're in where Advertiser is King. This ecosystem that breeds dark patterns and skews all discourse towards the uninformed and adversarial.

Educational attainment is going backwards for boys, while girls are doing great and have far surpassed them. I think they passed them some time back in the very early '00s, IIRC, but it's been a while since I looked at that stuff—this is all mainstream, they've been talking about it in education-academia for quite a while and it's uncontroversial, it's openly discussed among teachers et c., though proposed solutions aside from "try to hire more male teachers" are thin on the ground—bizarrely, "restore all that recess you cut over the last decades, in the name of more butts-in-seats time" doesn't seem to have much traction, and, call me crazy, but if I were in charge, that's the first thing I'd try.

Boys/men in general are exposed to a far higher likelihood of worst-case outcomes in a variety of ways, and there seems to be little societal attention to improving that. If women had the incarceration rates, the "successful" suicide rates, or the lagging lifespan that men have, it'd be all we'd hear about. Instead we figure that's just how men are, so, whatever.

I've got two girls and a boy and I'm a lot more worried about the boy's future than the girls', for sure. Seems a much finer line he'll need to walk to avoid a downward spiral, with fewer off-ramps available from such a spiral. Like, I reckon he's 75% of our risk of one of the three having a very-bad outcome, without even seeing any especially bad problems with him yet.

There is an economic problem here, which is that only a small subset of trash can be recycled efficiently -- metals, some paper. For everything else, it's very expensive or just impossible to recycle, and those costs are rising because they are labor intensive. You have to pay people to pick through the trash and remove items because the automated means are very crude and and only give you a first pass sort.

So there is no way that cities can afford to actually recycle the vast quantities of garbage their citizens produce. But the citizens want to think of themselves as recycling, and so middlemen appear that say they recycle but they only recycle the portion that is economically viable, and export the rest. If you want a greater portion recycled, you will need to pay them much more.

In terms of the costs, back in 2020, it cost about $75-80 per ton to "recycle" in the current sense. Households pay about $40 per ton for ordinary trash disposal -- e.g. landfills -- and no city that I know of has the political courage to charge double for recycling than for trash, even though that's what it costs, so the city ends up spending money that should go to parks or education on hiding economic realities from its citizens. And that $80/ton includes exporting much of the waste overseas where it is not recycled.

To actually recycle 100% of the material put into recycling bins, the costs are unknown because no one has been able to do it on a sustained basis - again, this is because our automated means of sorting are very crude, and many commodities are sufficiently cheap that recycling isn't cost effective.

I expect that in the future, recycling and trash will merge -- we will just accept that some of what we throw away can be recycled and the rest cannot, and that determination is a function of market prices for commodities, so that the percentage of waste recycled will be variable and people will get used to this rather than pretending everything thrown in the green bin is recycled.

Also in the future, people will be charged extra for recycling to reflect the underlying costs, effectively discouraging them from purchasing more metals/papers than they need. The idea that recycling is a compound word intended to describe a circular flow of commodities will become a subject for bar trivia, while its real meaning will become "the trash I put in the green bin".

I once stayed at a flat in Berlin and there were rats living in the building trash container. They would literally be scurrying on the top of the pile when I opened it up to throw trash bags away. Hands down my worst experience with rats, even coming from NYC.

This was in Kreuzberg and there seemed to be a lot of rats there because of some abandoned buildings and construction + fields of dirt for them to burrow in

They've recently hired McKinsey to conduct a 20 week study on the viability of containerization on the varying street sizes of Manhattan, and what that might look like [0]. My guess: they settle upon some aesthetically loud behemoth of a trash container that's neither well-functioning nor beautifying, and approve an attendant increase in the sanitation department's budget to deal with the new responsibility. But at least it will be better than the status quo ex ante.

That would be pretty neat! I go back and forth over whether this kind of thing will happen or not. Extism's goal is to be very generic (universal).

HN-esque sites aren't "struggling", in pretty much every comments section there is someone pointing out the complete horseshit crypto is and the fundamental lack of stability in the market.

>Homes are much larger now than in 1955.

Homes are not larger necessarily because of our "insane consumerist appetite."
They are larger because:

1. Housing is an investment vehicle
2. Housing valuations are primarily driven by SQFT/SQM (when you rule out location)
3. The baseline costs of building (permits, utility connections, etc) are not driven by size and make up a huge % of the cost to build.
4. Zoning laws prohibit smaller builds and multi-family in many areas.

Every researcher would love to include error bars but it's a matter of limited computing resources at universities. Unless you're training on a tiny dataset like MNIST, these training runs get expensive. Also, unless you parallelize from the start and risk wasting a lot of resources if something goes wrong, it could take longer to get the results.

From what I understand, there is somewhat of a threshold in terms of how much fructose can be digested in your gut vs requiring your liver to get involved. It depends on a lot of factors (body size obviously, your overall calorie intake, some genetic factors, etc), but in general of you're only consuming a few grams of fructose and it's buffered by fiber, you're probably not exceeding that threshold. Fruit fits that bill, unless you're being weird and consuming a whole lot of sugary fruit.

It's true that governments don't see it the same way as households. But inflation provides them with a free way to reduce their debts (at the cost of their country's savers and earners, effectively). Every dollar not spent on servicing the debt can be spent on something else instead.

After all the Brave controversies [0] I'm not sure why anyone uses Brave anymore. They took creators' money while ostensibly "collecting" it for them, and they inserted their own affiliate links when you visited certain sites. It's just shady behavior all around. I mean, when you have your own "Controversies" section on Wikipedia, you know there's something wrong.

Especially with Manifest v3 looming which would kill modern ad blockers, I see no reason not to use Firefox. Sure, Brave and other Chromium browsers might say they'll fork Chromium, but how long will that last, really? It's no joke to maintain a fork.
