Except (some) people take in more alcohol than is necessary to accomplish that result. He's talking about stupefying, and refers to more than just alcohol:

> What is the explanation of the fact that people use things that stupefy them: vodka, wine, beer, hashish, opium, tobacco, and other things less common: ether, morphia, fly-agaric, etc.?

Does taking hashish and opium allow for easier socializing?

Further:

> The cause of the world-wide consumption of hashish, opium, wine, and tobacco, lies not in the taste, nor in any pleasure, recreation, or mirth they afford, but simply in man’s need to hide from himself the demands of conscience.
No, it should not. But it does provide one with a basis, a starting point, for how to first approach and view a given topic. We all use our experiences to form mental models for now things work. So while anecdotal evidence should not drive policy it should drive which policies one gains an interest in.

Also, responding with anecdotal evidence should not drive policy isn’t really helpful without some sort of refutation of the evidence.
I've long ago stopped cooking or putting hot food in plastic containers.. not because of this but because of the possibility other harmful substances leeching from the plastic in to my food.

Sure, there are some plastics labeled "for safe" and "BPA-free", but that doesn't guarantee some other plastic that's used doesn't contain harmful substances or cause as yet unknown side effects that just haven't been found by researchers yet. This goes double for new plastics which haven't had much research done on them yet but that manufacturers can honestly claim don't contain BPA.

Those kinds of assurances just aren't good enough, as this study shows.

It was already known that some kinds of plastic release microplastic particles when heated. I assume this is why we have some plasticware that is labeled as being suitable for microwave oven usage, but at quick glance at the abstract doesn't seem they considered this difference. It would be interesting to know the amount of micropastic released by "microwave suitable" plastic vs common plastic.

The current marketing copy for the 10th gen iPad on Apple's website says

"Get things done — all on one device. Take notes, collaborate, and work seamlessly between apps. From pie charts to pie recipes, iPad is designed for all kinds of productivity."

and from the iPad Pro site:

"Enhanced ways to work. iPadOS 16 gives you powerful new ways to do more than ever. New desktop-class apps make your workday more productive. Resize and overlap apps to multitask like a pro with Stage Manager. And hook up an external display, with resolutions up to 6K, for even more room for all your apps"

They are clearly marketing these things as do everything productivity devices even though in practice it's pretty bogus especially if you need any sort of programming functionality. Heck they even show an image of Swift Playgrounds being used!
The reason you don't see long term support on Android is the same reason Linux failed in the desktop: the Linux kernel developers want everything mainlined and are not interested in keeping a stable kernel API for drivers, but in the real world, drivers are closed source.

I don't know for sure but if I had to guess early Linux some 25-years ago didn't have the prevalence of polish it has now at least on the desktop. In the server space it was probably solid. That being said businesses back then were likely leery of running a RH clone with just some Linux staff -- better to pay RH for support.

Nowadays one could probably lean on staff to manage issues and arbitrage that go-it-alone mindset over paying the RH subscription. Now that loop-hole is closed.

Great news, my local council outlawed or out regulated throw away plastic food containers so everything is not in waxed cardboard. Which holds up about as long as the food is actually safe to eat. So win win.
1. Cleaning doesn't really change much if it's plastic or glass.
2. With proper care, I agree, they'll look new/good for many years. Plastics can too, but to a lesser degree.
3. It breaks.

4. Glassware usually costs more.
5. Knowing that I can't break the tub of food that I have in my bag just because I accidentally dropped my bag, releases me of a lot of stress and worry.

Don't get me wrong, I do agree that plastics are toxic, but when I go to the store I always look at the prices and pick the cheapest option available, I wish I had the option of just being able to take what looks nice and pay without even knowing how much I pay, but sadly I can't, _yet_, afford that.

Motorola does a pretty good job. Their "bloatware" is mostly the Moto app, which provides really handy and reliable gestures like a double "chop" to toggle flashlight, twisting the phone a few times to enable the camera, three-finger screenshot trigger, etc.

Surely everyone knows this is not to protect people from fraud. It's to protect politicians and other public figures from the repercussions of being widely hated. The solution to this problem is simply to stop interfering with people's lives in a negative way. If you don't interfere with people's lives at all, they will have no reason to hate you and this approach costs nothing.
> Samsung can pull off longer support because of Exynos and they have a lot of inhouse expertise

Qualcomm seems like a scapegoat here. Google surely has expertise here. Isn't this sorely on Google?
Good question. The only plastic dishes we have are the lids to our glass leftover containers. I always wash these by hand as it seems to me that the extreme heat of the dishwasher degrades the plastic (and probably causes god knows what to leach out of the plastic) and causes the lids to crack (kind of like plastic left out in UV light) and to fail seemingly sooner than they otherwise would.
I would rate the weak coupling as a far second or third point of interest behind linear signal fall-off vs inverse square for most other kinds of signal such as electromagnetic waves.

It does, plastic has similar structure to oil and it is a PITA to clean oil from plastic containers.

Ikea glass containers are sturdy
My take is the opposite, I’ve been asked to make up 20 OKRs for myself (the only real corporate “goal” is “make 20 OKRs”. If I had a small number of goals that were clearly linked to the business that would be one thing, but with a large number of bullshit goals many of them would fall by the wayside, particularly when “drop everything for customer X” was a common occurrence.

I didn’t really mind the “drop everything” bit, we were looking for product-market fit after all, but when performance reviews come around and I killed 3 of those goals, sofa kind did 7 and spaced 10 it’s a situation where narcissists will convince management is half full and that mine is half empty.

I did the research for the requirements to use Qt LGPL before (NOTE: idk if all these things are required, maybe the Qt Company is exaggerating when they claim all these things are required, someone more familiar with LGPL please chime in).

1. Product manual must mention you use Qt LGPL, and include the text of LGPL

2. Graphical software (desktop or terminal) must mention you use Qt LGPL, and include the text of LGPL. Usually this goes in Help -> About/Acknowledgements.

3. If the customer requests the source code, you must provide it on request. They can contact you and you mail them a USB flash drive or download link. Most companies seem to pre-emptively place the source on their website and include a link to it.

4. You must allow the user to rebuild/replace the Qt libraries your program uses, including instructions on how to do this if it's not trivial.

So in your case, simply email the developer and request the LGPL source code and instructions on how to build/replace the product's LGPL libraries.

I speak french, and I read the mentioned article of the law project and the part referenced in other laws, here are what I find useful to juge it :

Basically, if a website is deemed be illegal, a notification is sent to browser makers and to the website owner.

The website owner has 5 days to answer and defend themselves.

Browser makers are forced (as a cautionary measure) to make the browser display a warning upon browsing this website for 7 days following the initial notification. The warning should detail the danger of visiting this website.

If at any point the investigation deems the website is not doing illegal stuff, browser makers are sent another notification telling them to remove the warning.

If the investigation deems the website to be illegal, browser makers will have to block access to this website for 6 months.

If at any point the website is not doing illegal stuff anymore, the block will be removed.

Where I used "illegal" here I actually mean that the website is doing one of these things (explicitly written in the law/referenced laws):

- Identity Theft

- Illegally collecting personal data or using it in a illegal way

- Accessing or maintaining access to a restricted system (basically hacking)

- Collecting, giving access, or making tools that allow fraudulent payment.

If the owner of the website starts a complaint and starts defending themselves, all blocks are suspended for the duration of the procedure.

What I think of it :

It seems to be actually well intentioned given the restricted aim of what is an "illegal" website, it's not about piracy or anything. What is written in the law is really and exactly about websites that harm their users.

The only problem would be if this law gets more edits and starts including other types of infractions
adnauseam[1]. it does load all the ads, but makes them invisible and clicks all of them.

[1] https://adnauseam.io/
to complete the picture, in the previous week alone :

- a court found that is was illegal to have covered a feminist book shop in during the visit of a minister, to hide content about cases he was involved in. [1]

- the agreement of one of the largest anti-corruption NGO was cancelled, making it more difficult for them to bring corruption cases to court. [2] they had their nose in what is becoming a state scandal (Affaire Kohler)

- an ecologist NGO was disbanded by the same minister involved in 1 [3]

- and you must have seen the guy who was shot dead by the police. The police then made up a story that was debunked by a witness on social media. [4]

It follows months of protests being forbidden using anti-terrorism laws [5], and parliament being bypassed so hard that the Council of Europe raised questions about democracy [6]

Telegram was also blocked during a whole day, and connection attempts were logged, all of that "by accident" [7]

So if the current government wants a law to be applied, like web censoring, they will explore any means for that.

in beijing the electronics market which used to have a similar size and feel, shrunk a lot in the past 5-8 years (before covid) due to online ordering becoming more popular. many shops closed their walk-in stores and went online only. already in 2019 what remained was a fraction of what used to be there a few years earlier.
