We need supermarkets to provide places where people can donate or sell their excess reusable shopping so other people can pick them up and use. That should put a big dent in the necessity for people to make use of new bags if they didn't bring their own reusable bags

Music piracy used to be a big problem. I am not sure if it still is or not?

Most of our engineering jobs are hybrid/on-site around our engineering hubs, mostly in San Mateo. It's team and background specific though; we have engineering teams across Europe and North America, but that just depends on what team you're going into.

If I was going to steel-man the argument, I’d suggest that you’re adding some kind of extra economies of scale to production of less polluting alternatives?

Also I note that mid-income countries like Thailand are also getting in on plastic bag reduction. The kind interpretation of that is that muang thai has finally discovered its eco-consciousness, but an alternative one is that they’re copying rich countries ‘cuz it’s fashionable, and that that effect might trickle down to the countries who are serious polluters

There is too much of a focus on recycling, when reducing the amount of stuff we consume would be far more beneficial.

When I was at school they used to talk about the 4 Rs, reduce, renew, reuse, recycle (I'm sure different variations exist). With recycling being essentially a last resort as it's so difficult and inefficient. But now it seems there is barely any mention of the first 3.

It's possible that some here might confuse Web Extensions with Safari App Extensions. Safari App Extensions are not the same as Web Extensions. App extensions are written in native code (Objective C or Swift); they operate within Apple's sandbox; their data is saved within Apple's secure file system; and if they are sold via the Apple App Store, they are reviewed and approved by Apple. One never has absolute assurance that an app is proof against attack, but until I learn otherwise, I think Safari App Extensions are safe.
For me one of the biggest draws of file-sharing is that I find it so easy.

The streaming service way would involve finding where the show is, accounts, credentials, godawful UI, ads, spam, potential malware,+ many other constantly changing and evolving inconveniences.

File-sharing way is just so fast and easy to comprehend for me, search for the show on one site, pick the quality I want, download the files and then do whatever I want with them. Also it hasnt changed in decades.
Credit card companies are highly profitable, meaning that people spend significantly more money on credit card fees than they save through purchase protection. So it's not worth it. Especially not in cases where it replaces cash, which also has no chargeback.
I'm concerned about the artists, the writers, and all the other people who put in the actual work, who deserve a livelihood and recognition.

But the financiers, producers, and distributors have too much power and influence over the culture economy, to an extent where it's not unfair to ask whether they operate like a cartel, with heavy-handed nepotism, blacklisting, and politics.

So yeah, I don't have sympathy for the streaming services.

Beautifully put! I recommend “Kants System of Perspectives” by Palmquist, it’s free online, short/skimmable, and explains in detail how Kant (200y ago!) was trying to do exactly this; acknowledge the unknowable parts of the problem, and instead focus on reasoning out the “landscape” or structure of it
Exactly, that's what I said? 'In this specific case' though? It would be news to me (not that I've used it since university!) that they're ever non-semantic?

I don’t understand how it follows that if artists are paid a pittance, then the moral thing to do is to still consume their content - while depriving them of revenue from residuals.

Since this project ended, we've have had quite a lot nice development in this front. Biggest highlight maybe is Combobulate for emacs, providing treesitter powered editing. Neovim also has treesitter and some plugins[2] to work with it. My editor of choice, Helix, also has treesitter based commands built-in[3]. All of these afaik have been released after sapling

While it now seems like this mode of using TS/structured editing to extend traditional editors will be the dominant way, I think it still might be useful to keep thinking what an editor that embraces structured editing could look like.

Don’t say the quiet part loud. There will be enterprising individuals that will take the piss out of our convenience by commercializing it.
But that means companies must sell for the marginal price of their website’s ergonomics, not for the marginal price of producing movies.

(Which is not a big loss, because I can’t imagine producing the Netflix knockoffs be a hundredth the price of a 007).

No it doesn't.

Maybe they should have a deposit that gets refunded if you return it. Say it cost $1 per bag, but you could get it refunded if returned on your next trip you get most of the convenience with little hassle.

I dislike the NFL and American football for this reason. It's too large (as in, too many people at the stadium) and the number of games too few to be able to afford to regularly go to games. Its a sport designed for TV and it shows. Even the culture of being at the games is emblematic of this, in that there isn't really much of one.

I will also theorize that this is a major contributing factor to the not insignificant number of people that prefer college football to the NFL, even in cases where they are not alumni of the local college.
Delayed availability also bolsters piracy. In the age of the internet, people don’t want to watch foreign shows weeks or months after they’ve aired in their country of origin, but within mere hours of original airing so they can ride the global wave of discussion after each episode.

A six month delay for example will completely miss the bulk of the show’s online relevance and even a week is enough to seriously dampen enthusiasm in the region. This isn’t the 90s or prior decades where viewers are entirely reliant on local licensees to know what’s available.

Studios, distributors, and streaming services are seriously shooting themselves in the foot by not pulling all stops to make sure all shows are simultaneously available worldwide.
Is Recycling a Puzzle-Maze Not Worth Solving?

> Uh. Linux users would like a word here.

The shift of Linux to systemd was a very similar experience to the decline of browser extensions. Yes, you can change how your computer works. But unless you're willing to put a lot of effort into maintaining those changes, the APIs you use will be cut out from under you and it'll be harder and harder to make your computer do what you wanted rather than what someone else thought it should do.

It's not fragmented like video is. You go to your favourite music streaming platform and listen. You don't need to check all 10 services you pay for to work out if the artist is available on it.

I like how the title already has decided it is __stupid__ instead of having an honest faith debate.

My view on pornography as someone who suffered from addiction and still sometimes fall back to it is, it’s a symptom of a underlying societal pathology.

Human beings are designed to crave physical intimacy. That’s what make a species successful at the evolutionary stage. If you believe in evolution and science then you must believe that’s true. If you go against that, you are doomed as a species.

The problem is in many aspects, we are doing everything we can as a species to counter our evolutionary fitness.

I bet if there was a societal dynamics where people were to find partners in organic manner and have meaningful relationships, worrying about pornography reaching to kids would be less of a thing.

Too many of our personal relationships are polluted with doses of dopamine, coupled with dysfunction in the dynamics in relation to the way people seek their partner.

There is a reason sperm count has dropped 50% just in a generation and 25% of young women are on SSRI. What is going on in America?Is it the food we are eating, garbage we are consuming in our phone everyday that cause us to live in a dysfunctional reality where porn becomes the mean to release your evolutionary urge? Why is every millennial and GenZ choosing to delay family and relationship formation? Is it rent seeking class choke holding an entire other class of people? Ultimately is that too a class war issue?

no one is asking these questions. Our beloved journalists are busy studying the Russian aggression on Ukraine more than corporate invasion on every aspect of American soul.
It's more expensive so they are greedier.
It is difficult to understand the benefits of the gainmap approach over HDR first and high quality local tone mapping. Especially when there is a modern local tone mapping algorithm with oss implementation that runs in real time.

Some industry leads believe that the tone mapping is part of artistic creativity and belongs to the photographer. I don't share this viewpoint, but I'm looking at this from a purely technical and philosophical viewpoint. I think we should have HDR first world, and SDR is a temporary fallback.
Saying it's not really anger is at least the attempt to not consider it. But yes, verbal elidation is probably more correct.
Who is going to pay for the treatments without supporting data? I don't think people have the right to demand healthcare workers to administer whatever strikes their fancy either. I know you aren't necessarily suggesting this, but I wouldn't start an IV bleach drip on someone because they have a "right to live". Time is so limited in the clinic that I don't think there is room for trying whatever the patient wants on demand. In an ideal world there should be some room for this approach, but (at least in the US hospitals I've worked at) there just isn't the infrastructure. Something with phase 2 data, sure, that seems like a good candidate for compassionate use.

ALS is devastating, I'm sorry for you and the person you are close to.
I definitely cancelled Netflix but I don’t pirate their shows because there’s nothing really worth pirating.

That's an excellent question! When I was writing that I was pretty deep in DNS code and standards I think I just understood that as a rule of DNS. Or at the least, I believed I understood. Looking back a decade later I can't find any standard which supports my statement. However lots of other secondary sources seem to agree with me.

"In these situations, the client needs to re-transmit over TCP for which the size limit is 64000 bytes" [0]

"The first response via UDP is, no surprise, truncated, so we retry via TCP. But now the DNS result delivered via TCP is also truncated! That is, the DNS server has determined that the result will not fit into the maximum response size. Why is that?

"Our payload is 4096 * 16 = 65536 bytes RDATA, which should fit into the DNS packet, which uses a two byte RDLENGTH field. But we also need to again account for the overhead noted above: 12 bytes DNS header, 36 bytes for the query, 11 bytes additional records, and 16 bytes for each A record, yielding (4096 * 16) + 12 + 36 + 11 = 65595 bytes in total. And the maximum size of an IP packet is 16 bit (via the IPv4 total length / IPv6 payload length). And that is now our limiting factor: 65536 bytes for DNS overhead + payload."

My best guess is that DNS just makes the assumption that everything needs to fit in a single IP packet and it doesn't care if it is UDP or TCP.

It is worth investigating if you have spare time.

Maybe a dumb question, but what does "banning private jets" actually mean?
Do we ban the actual planes themselves, as in, crack down on plane manufacturers to somehow restrict them from building small passenger capacity jet planes? And if so, what minimal capacity should be the threshold?
Or do we ban private companies and individuals from flying jet planes under said hypothetical capacity?
Another possibility might be to ban non-scheduled flights using jet planes.

In any case, who would have the authority to enforce this internationally, ICAO I guess? It does not appear like something they would even consider, their efforts being targeted towards implementing CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) instead.

Now to go even further, let's hypothesize that private jets are banned. What about non jet planes, as in props or turbo-props engines? Perfomance in terms of speed can be close to jet planes. Take for example the Piaggio Avanti EVO, which can reach around 740 km/h. While its fuel consumption is notably lower than similar jet planes, it's still higher per passenger than commercial flights.
We can imagine a strong market demand for them will appear, to replace the banned model range.
So should non jet private planes be banned as well? Even models like Cessna 172 and such?
How much is the beer though?
For sure, having seen the way Germans recycle, NZ has a long way to go still.

The plastic bag ban is a good start, but seeing how Germans reuse glass bottles is an eye opener, and I really don't understand why we have individual cucumbers wrapped in plastic?!
In Japan, they're not banned but there's an extra 2 or 3 yen charge if you want one. This charge amounts to just about nothing but it was enough to get almost everyone to switch to "eco bags". I suppose it's not the "savings" of a couple yen here and there that motivated people to use their own bags but simply the awareness that there was something of an expectation that they would bring their own. Prior to this, you might have looked a bit eccentric bringing your own bag to carry your groceries in but now it's just normal and Japanese love nothing more than being normal.

Rumor was CIWS wasn’t working on the Moskva. Also some of radars interfered with each other so they kept some of them off. That was inferred off of pictures from the sinking and the radar used to detect sea skimming threats was in the stow position.

There is also more countermeasures than ciws. Warships also can deploy decoys and chaff to confuse radar homing missiles.
