Glass, aluminum, and cardboard are almost always profitable to recycle if the city is big enough to make it worth the infrastructure expense. It's the recycling of plastics that we were scammed into thinking made a difference. It does not. Twas a clever move on the part of plastics producers. Meanwhile most gets either a. dumped in a local landfill (after added expense and hassle of collection and sorting), b. shipped partway across the world and dumped at sea, or c. shipped all the way across the world and burned. Note, there are two specific types of plastic that can actually be profitable to recycle, Numbers 1 and 2 (PET and HDPE). The rest is pure junk.

Compost may be similarly beneficial, depending on public compliance, the market/public need for the compost product, and how efficient a particular region can make their system. It is certainly not a one-size-fits-all kind of deal, and probably is not even worth attempting in some regions.

Yeah, the audience score is in no way an accurate measure of quality because it is provided by a self-selected group of people who both paid for the movie and went online to rate it. The end result is that a lot of movies viewed as failures will have high audience ratings as long as they can reach some small passionate audience. Just looking at some current movies:

Blue Beetle: 78% critics, 92% audience

Gran Turismo: 63%, 98%

Elemental: 74%, 93%

Meg 2: 29% 73%

Haunted Mansion 38%, 84%

Indiana Jones: 69%, 88%

Little Mermaid 67%, 94%

Those audience scores are not "more accurate" in any way. People who are forced to see these movies like them less than people who chose to see it.

There also really isn't anything currently that fits into "the political correctness / marketing budget of the movie" claim of OP. It seems like they are just buying into cultural war nonsense. The closest I can find is Barbie and its critic score is 5% higher than the audience score, so not much of a gap.
I think their point was more philosophical. They can be rich, but they'll never be happy sort of a thing.

I played with Bun around a year ago. Looked promising, but was not an easy drop in replacement for nodejs in my projects. I don’t recall the issues and give Bun’s beta state I didn’t give it much effort.

Now that 1.0 is out I will give it another try. I could see myself migrating to it within a year if Bun’s performance and developer usability claims are justified

America's Cuba policy is a failure and continues to be a failure. Do you not think if America opened up to Cuba that wouldn't over time drastically lesson their dependency on Russia?

Cuba really doesn't have much of a choice, they have to trade with "friendly" nations of which America refuses to be.

Fun fact, when we (Canadians) go to Cuba they typically won't stamp our passports because they know it causes us issues when trying to enter the US.

some slight hyperbole of course.

But the view that in the post cold war environment America should "spread democracy" was hardly a fringe

https://www.belfercenter.org/publication/why-united-states-s...

The 2002 National Security strategy was explicitly about spreading US style democracy and free trade to countries including Afghanistan.

"As we pursue the terrorists in Afghanistan, we will continue to work ... to rebuild Afghanistan so that it will never again abuse its people, threaten its neighbors, and provide a haven for terrorists. "

This view was certainly championed and repeated across opinion posts throughout the western press.

Now the view is "we failed in that, and it sucks, but we can't make it work". This of course was what many on the left were saying, but articles like

https://www.economist.com/democracy-in-america/2006/12/21/de...

"So actually, as far as I can see, the way that America uses its military power will be quite central to any spreading of democracy in the Middle East. If you can be victorious, kind and smart, then people are going to want to find out how you did it. And I can't see why Fukuyama would want to argue to the contrary. "

There were always contrary views of course, many in academia were saying you can't force a cultural change. Those were reported a little, but in general it was very much pro-intervention.

Moderation is not censorship.

Moderation is for forums where readers have little control over who is posting the content that you are seeing, so the forum tries to shape the content for the readers in one way or another. Examples: Reddit, HN, trending or boosted social media posts.

Censorship is when the reader elects to get information from a known source, and someone or something intervenes to prevent the information from arriving. Examples: twitter blocking content from a source whose readers elected to follow them, filtering emails from known contacts, filtering private messages.

For AI, it might depend on the specificity of the question whether it's more like moderation or more like censorship.
After hibernate Windows thinks I have a laptop keyboard. If num lock is turned on then yuihjkbnm keys turn into a numpad. A restart or replugging the keyboard fixes it. Still annoying though.

Windows also likes waking itself up for various reasons, but I don't remember if that was hibernate or sleep. Turning off everything except the power button wake up fixed it though.

But I do agree - I would like a working hibernate in any OS I use. The next best thing is never turning it off though.

YC companies also copy other YC companies. It happens all the time. Personally I would prefer that the world didn't work this way, but it's just how the game is played.

There are a lot of people in the tech world with the right connections, access to capital, and execution skill, but who either aren't creative enough to come up with an innovative product, or prefer to be the nth-mover in an already-validated market to the risk of trying to establish a new market. If they see that you have a good idea but aren't executing/growing/raising money at an A+ level, they will swoop in and copy your idea and then pretend that they were the first to come up with it.

There's nothing necessarily wrong with this apart from (imo) being kind of lame on a personal level. The consumer ultimately benefits from the competition, and you have only yourself to blame really for creating an opening by not executing quickly and effectively enough. It's capitalism. All the solutions to this 'problem' I've ever heard proposed--software patents and the like--create far worse problems for people who want to innovate.

If you're working on a new idea and are seeing real traction, you just need to expect this and factor it into your strategy. This is why so much emphasis is placed on having a 'moat' of some kind that is difficult to reproduce. If you're seeing success and it's easy to copy you, someone's probably already working on a clone.
In hibernate the laptop stays powered off and nothing is running, you can even pull the power cord. It can't wake up from that. It will only wake up when you power it back on, not by itself. The wake up issues are for sleep mode, not hibernate where the CPU is completely off and unpowered.
> The site responded by delisting a variety of Bunker 15 films from their website.

I wonder if we can find out which films these were. Interesting that the punishment was applied to the films, not to the critics.
Well, yeah, IMO, that's what the buzzwords imply. And I'm preparing for the end of it.

But keep in mind that people that talk in buzzwords are often not reliable.
Property taxes are very low in Canada and it has been noted by many that there could be a relationship here between this fact and Canada's remarkably high house prices. Lower carrying costs mean more money is available to flow into the carrying costs of outrageously large loans to the bank.

Hemmingway has done good work in the last few years in exploring this and suggesting policy that could make things work a bit better.

His fifth suggestion of a Land Value Tax is a trendy one that has pulled in support from both the right and the left. I think a LVT would be a more fair way to tax land than a property tax, and would have an additional upside of incentivizing more efficient use of land (ie. apartments). The downside is that a simplistic implementation would be an enormous giveaway to very wealthy mansion owners, as they'd see a big chunk of their property tax bill vanish (the luxurious mansion part) to be paid for by lower income land owners elsewhere. I think for this reason a LVT implementation would be best balanced out with some of the other progressive property tax ideas Hemmingway suggests here, so that the ultra wealthy aren't getting a free ride here.
Does "staffing" include contractors? That could be another big chunk.
$25 to process 250TiB seems cheaper than what I would expect.

Not enough money can make contracts renegotiable, too, if it’s lots of not enough.

If your debts are high, and you can convince your debtors they’re better off taking a cut on what you own them than waiting for your bankruptcy, they’ll accept a deal that’s, on paper, worse for them than the original one.

I don't think there should be "1 linux desktop" but I do believe the Linux desktop is far too fragmented. Yeah, it's nice that we can customize stuff but it makes it a nightmare for developers to support us.

How can anybody distribute complicated software that is supposed to support a wide range of kernels, X11 + Wayland, open + closed source drivers, several desktop environments, etc? To make matters worse there's endless combinatorics in the versions of those packages because nobody can agree on an upgrade strategy.

Maybe we could demand support if we had more users but Linux represents a small fraction of the desktop market.
Congratulations on the initiative. The results seem cool, and integration in the main search results may give a glimpse outside the big web.

Very weird book. If you read it you will find tropes from all 1950s - mid 60s space exploration hard sci fi. Meteorites pierce a ship. Long periods of free fall require extreme discipline to keep everyone sane. Multi ship expedition, which leaves from a space station.

But this book didn't appear in English until 2006, and the German version was quite different.

Von Braun submitted the manuscript to something like 19 publishers, all rejected it, probably because as fiction, it's rubbish. I'm guessing those 19 manuscript submissions ended up influencing all the other 1950s sci fi under the table.
I think of it like this: would the business exist without the software they wrote in house to facilitate the business? If the business ceases to exist without the software: it's a software company.

> I don't think the limit on trainees has any effect on salary

This is far from true. On the margin, doctors can work in the private sector or leave the country. Only a few choose to do so, but this is (among other reasons) because the NHS always has to respond to price pressure to keep that small number from growing to where it causes shortages.

Recently a change in how pension contributions are taxed was pushed through almost entirely because it affected senior doctors. If the NHS had pricing power as you suggest, why wouldn't they just tell doctors to pay up?
> My primary reason for using classic Unix utilities is trusting that they'll still work in a few years

Mine is that they're ubiquitous and I can rely on them existing on all Unices. For the same reason, I avoid getting used to any features that are unique to a particular platform or distribution. It just causes additional friction when I'm working on a different system.
You don't. You order via their website and give them your e-mail address instead.

Y Co is more of a “moneyball” play than average, it’s not like under Sam’s tenure it was all about one big hit (not like the Softbank story).

Now there is OpenAI and that’s a super unusual case and luck is important in that one. The thing is they managed to get a lot of resources to train a very big model before anybody else did and woke up people to the possibility of LLMs but there just can’t be a GPT-5 which has 50x the parameters of GPT-4 and even if they was nobody could afford the cost to do inference with it.

They can’t afford to go forward the way they’ve gotten to where they have been, sure they can try to find a more efficient approach but everybody else is doing that and nobody else quite feels the same pressure to make a model that performs better and the same way GPT-4 performs so their first mover advantage could make them irrelevant unless they make the right moves and luck strikes a second time.
We are stuck fighting over the definitions of words. And I kind of lost sight of the initial issue.

Even if everything is deterministic, human society can only function successfully with the illusion of free will. If we admit nobody can be blamed for their actions, we can't punish them and thus the incentives not to do bad things disappear and the whole shebang collapses.

If you kill people, we will lock you up, because we think killing people is bad and we want to prevent you from doing it again. You could just implement and enforce [1] that rule, period. Doesn't even sound unreasonable to me, not even without further elaboration. So when you are saying

If we admit nobody can be blamed for their actions, we can't punish them [...]

then this can at most mean that we can not punish them with a reasonable justification, we obviously can just punish them. One thing another comment reminded me of is that we are no longer punishing people for what they did, at least not in the sense of some kind of revenge. Anyway, if free will or blame or whatever plays any role, then only for building a reasonable justification for our rules.

[1] Ignoring for the moment that you could not actually decide to implement or enforce a rule like that in a deterministic universe - it would either appear out of the previous state at some time or not and enforcement would happen or not.
